Chapter Seventy-Four: Expropriation and Expropriation
"Don't dare, don't dare, what did Grandpa Xue say? How dare we ......?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads hurriedly, and their heads were covered with cold sweat.
But before he finished speaking, Xue Pan screamed again, waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it first, it's useless to deny it." Anyway, how the master of the Situ Mansion died, it is not you who have the final say, nor the adults in the court who have the final say, but the emperor. As long as the emperor said that he died at the hands of demon beasts, then no one dared to say that he was murdered. ”
"Of course, if the emperor said that he was murdered, then no one would dare to say that he died in the line of duty. So, it doesn't matter how he died, you know?"
"Understand...... understood"
Nodding hurriedly, the heads of the family wiped the sweat from their heads.
Seeing that Xue Pan was almost frightened, he said bluntly: "Then do you know what the emperor will say?"
"What the emperor said, don't you have to listen to what your father-in-law says first, hehehe!" Hearing his words, the head of the Yin family immediately understood, and then clapped his hands and said, "Come on, bring things up." ”
As soon as the words fell, two servants immediately carried up a large wooden box, and when they opened it, they saw that it was full of crystal clear purple crystals.
The head of the Yin family smiled flatteringly: "This ten thousand Xuanjing, I still hope that my father-in-law will laugh at it." Your Majesty, please say a few kind words. ”
"Yo, the entire Huai'an Chamber of Commerce can only take out 10,000 Xuanjing to send it away. It seems that there are many suspicious points about the death of the master of Situ Mansion, and our family has to continue to investigate it. ”
Without even looking at the box, Xue Pan snorted softly.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but change their faces in unison, and they all frowned.
This dead eunuch has such a big appetite......
At the same time, in the Yang family's mansion, Yang Feng was bored looking at the fish in the pond, throwing bait, and Ximen Zun was guarding him.
Today he was going to go with those old fellows to see the dead eunuch, but the old fellows were afraid that he would cause trouble again, so they talked about it and didn't let him go.
So he didn't go, and he didn't want to see the eunuch pretending anyway.
Just when he had time, he sent someone to invite the sons of various families to come, and asked these good friends to take him on a tour of the beautiful scenery of the capital.
But the people who sent the messenger came back and said that the sons of those families were not there.
This can't help but be surprised, those guys will report to Tianfeng Academy with him in another month, what are they busy with now, how can they not be there?
They are not like him Yang Feng, who is also the president of the Chamber of Commerce, are they so busy?
When he first came to Fudu, these people hugged him and staggered with him, but now they ignore him.
Could it be that these people are so hot about him for two or three days?
Yang Feng felt depressed, Ximen Zun saw it, knew what he thought, and said: "Family master, if you really want to go to enjoy the grand scenery of the capital, I can be a guide." ”
"Brother Simon is a real brother, those guys are so cold, hum!"
A rough breath erupted from his nostrils, and Yang Feng pouted angrily: "But forget it, I'm not in the mood now." ”
"Brother Feng, you're looking for me, I'm here!"
Suddenly, at this moment, a rough voice sounded, Tu Ganglie carried two hares, ran over with a fart, and laughed: "I just caught the game, send you two." ”
"In the end, it's my right-hand man, friend of life and death, now only the two of you are willing to accompany me. Other...... Phew!"
Seeing that this hearty man was still so enthusiastic, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel relieved, and then thought of those cool people, and couldn't help but scold.
Tu Ganglie was stunned, and he didn't know why: "Brother Feng, what's wrong with you?"
Ximen Zun glanced at him and whispered a few words in his ear, Tu Ganglie immediately understood that he was lost because his brothers were not there, compared with the previous days.
Then, Tu Ganglie said with some embarrassment: "Actually, Brother Feng, it's not to blame Brother Yin and Brother Wu for snubbing you, it's really that they do have something to do today." ”
"What's wrong with them?
"Yes......"
Tu Ganglie wanted to speak and stopped, but did not say it.
Yang Feng looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Ganglie, you are my handpicked henchman in the Night Demon Forest, do you still have something to hide from me?"
"I don't want to hide it from you, it's just that the old man said that with your temper, it's better not to know!"
"I don't know what, I'm the president of the Chamber of Commerce, say it quickly!" Yang Feng shouted and asked.
But before he could speak, another coquettish shout came from far and near: "Yang Feng, how did you become the president of the Chamber of Commerce, you actually caused chaos in the whole house, and now a large area is smashed and looted outside." ”
The person who came was none other than Yin Tianxue.
It's just that now Yin Tianxue's eyes are full of reproach.
Yang Feng didn't know why, and asked: "In the capital of a dignified government, in a first-tier city, there are actually things like smashing, looting, and burning, is the public security so unstable?
"They are the ones who smash and loot!"
"What?"
With a twitch of his brows, Yang Feng was angry in his heart, and he was angry: "Lao Tzu just announced a few days ago that this mansion will be surnamed Yang in the future, and today he will cause trouble for me, which is obviously a provocation to me." Let's go, take a look with Lao Tzu. ”
As he spoke, Yang Feng had already rushed out violently.
Yin Tianxue looked at him coldly with eyes that seemed to kill people, but the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a playful smile, and followed closely.
Tu Ganglie and Ximen Zun obviously knew what was going on outside, and after glancing at each other, they shook their heads helplessly and followed.
When I came to the street, I saw that the city was full of traffic and flowers on weekdays, but now it is extremely depressed.
Countless street vendors wept in front of their stalls. Many of the shops are in tatters, and it is obvious that they have been smashed.
Yang Feng frowned deeply, walked to a cloakshop, looked at the shopkeeper who sighed, and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is going on?"
"Alas, don't mention it. Today, the government army looted the whole city, and suddenly had to collect three years of heavy taxes in advance, and if they could not pay it, they forcibly looted it. Those who refuse to pay taxes are beaten indiscriminately, and this world is the way...... Is there a reason......?
"What, there is such a thing? Dead Situ Zheng, they still dare to be so arrogant?"
Click!
The fist couldn't help but clench fiercely, and Yang Feng gritted his teeth in anger.
The shopkeeper wiped two old tears, and then lamented: "Yes, there is a Situ Zheng dead, we thought that this government army would not be so domineering anymore, but it turned out that Yang Feng, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, came even more ruthlessly, and he was even more domineering than that Situ Zheng." Within a few days of coming to the house, he began to expropriate and extort money, and he didn't give the people a way to live. ”
"Ah, Yang Feng, are you not mistaken, when did he go on a rampage?"
couldn't help but be stunned, Yang Feng, who was full of righteous indignation, suddenly heard the words of this shopkeeper, and was instantly stunned.
Is this a bastard who is carrying the black pot? Why do they think I did it?
But he hadn't figured out what was going on, and a collection brigade of the Nafu army had begun to collect on the streets again.
"You all listen, five hundred gold coins per household, and those who can't hand over are directly sealed, which is the joint approval of the Chamber of Commerce and the Huai'an Mansion. Those who dare to disobey will be punished for rebellion!"
