In the City Lord's Mansion of Falling Snow City, the city lord Jin Yang sat at home, and in his hand was the account handed over by the housekeeper. He was looking through it.

The housekeeper told Jin Yang: "Master, I'm afraid the Restoration Army won't come to the city today, should we send all the city soldiers out to collect taxes?"

Jin Yang glanced at him: "Don't accept it, but the money in the family has been exchanged for money tickets and hidden?"

"It's all been redeemed, it's all in the hands of the third lady, the third lady has moved into the inn, and there are two of your most powerful guards to follow and protect you. ”

"Well, okay, just hide it, we're ready to go. The country is dead, and the city lord is about to change, and I have no obligation to hand over here. ”

"Master, are you in such a hurry? Tianlong's troops have not yet arrived in the royal city, and after Tianlong has completed receiving the coldness. will begin to assign the city lords, and then we will not be too late to leave. Now I think we can still scavenge for it. ”

"What do you know, why did I let you hide the money, because I got the news that the team sent by Tianlong to An Min has come to the cold degree, and it is estimated that the first one will come to our Falling Snow City. It's almost time now, and I don't want to be killed by them before the money is spent. ”

"If there is such a thing, why don't we leave now?"

"It's too late, let's beat them first, and then leave at night. The city guards won't let me out of the city now, so I'll have to take care of them. ”

As soon as Jin Yang finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting outside the door. Jin Yang hurriedly put the account in the butler's hand: "Take it, leave the back door." ”

"Yes," the butler left with the ledger, and at this moment a soldier ran into the house: "My lord, a group of warriors who don't know where they came from broke into the house. ”

"Don't stand in the way, invite them in. ”

After the city lord finished speaking, a soldier fell into the house, and Zheng Fengshou and his party appeared. Song Yu said with a grin: "No need to invite, we have already come in." ”

Jin Yang looked submissive: "A few heroes, I don't know why you heroes suddenly broke into my city lord's mansion." ”

Zheng Fengshou spoke: "Handu has surrendered to Tianlong, and we are personally appointed by the Lord of Tianlong to do things to calm the people. I heard that you are secretly raising taxes in the city and robbing the people of their money, but is there such a thing?"

The city lord looked wronged: "Adults spare your lives, and I am also helpless." ”

Song Yu asked him why he was helpless?

Jin Yang replied, "You adults may not know it when you first come here. The Handu bandits formed the Restoration Army, which often entered the city to harass the people. As the lord of the city, I naturally can't sit idly by. But now that the cold has fallen to Tianlong, my city lord's mansion is about to be replaced, and it is difficult to exercise my city lord's rights at this time. There are many government soldiers, but I can't mobilize them, so I can only raise taxes in the city, driven by heavy money, to fight against the restoration army, and to ensure the safety of the people. ”

"So you're still kind?"

"The villain doesn't dare to take credit, but I really have no intention of greedy for money. I'm relieved that you're here. I would like to give you the money I have collected, as well as my soldiers of the city. I believe that your lords, it will be easier than me to clear out the bandits of the Restoration Army. ”

After Jin Yang finished speaking, he took out a money ticket: "This is five hundred gold coins, which is the tax I collected recently." Please accept it, kill all the bandits as soon as possible, and return the peace of Snow City. ”

Jin Yang handed over the money, Song Yu glanced at the second prince, and the second prince turned his head. Song Yu took the money directly and asked Jin Yang why there was so little?

Jin Yang replied: "My lord is clear, this is already all. The coldness is not as good as that of Tianlong, and the coldness is abnormally poor, and there is not much money to collect. In addition, adults should be able to see that the city is now closed. Because of the harassment of the Restoration Army, many people have left the city and hid in the countryside, with no money to collect. ”

Song Yu nodded: "Then I will believe you once, and you must not raise taxes privately in the future." ”

"Yes, don't worry, adults. I handed over all the soldiers of the city government to all the adults, and no one helped me collect taxes if I wanted to. Adults might as well live here, and see how I behave, and the adults of the province have doubts about my words. ”

Song Yu snorted coldly: "How can we have time, our task is to calm all the turmoil in the territory of Handu, not just you in Falling Snow City." Tell your soldiers to come with us, we're going to find the Restoration Army and eradicate it. Do you know where the old nest of the Restoration Army is?"

"Yes, the adults have worked hard, and I have said more. I don't know where the Restoration Army is hiding, but it must be in the mountains not far from the city, and maybe the city guards can know something, so you might as well ask them. I'm going to gather the soldiers of the city, and they're all in the camp, and they'll be there soon. The city lord hurriedly ran to make arrangements.

Things went well, and a group of guys from Weiguolou felt that they were very handsome, and as soon as they appeared, they scared the city lord and obediently handed over the money. Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Song Yu handed the golden ticket to the second prince: "We have money now." ”

The second prince was serious: "This money has nothing to do with us, in addition to ensuring life, the rest must be used for the people." ”

"Yes, the prince said. Song Yu patted the horses.

Zheng Fengshou frowned: "Second prince, let me say more, I don't think this money is all the money that this city lord has looted." ”

Before the second prince could answer, Song Yu scolded: "What do you know, we don't know that this money is not all." But if we really kill that city lord and the news spreads, how can we subdue the city lords of other cities in the future? Maybe those city lords will cooperate with the Restoration Army to fight us together. ”

The second prince told Song Yu that he must not be rude to the landlord, and at the same time he also persuaded Zheng Fengshou: "Landlord, I think what Song Yu said still has some truth." We should focus our efforts on dealing with the Restoration Army, not the lords of the cities, and then it will be difficult for us to act. Moreover, this city lord can be regarded as having a legitimate reason for collecting taxes, if he kills him, it is unreasonable, and he is suspected of indiscriminate killing. It would be better for them to keep the new lord in office and review it again. ”

Zheng Fengshou nodded and said no more. He knew that these guys were afraid of poverty, and if they had money to spend, they could say anything.

Zheng Fengshou told them: "Go to the top of the city tower and ask where the enemy of the city guards is? In addition, a notice was posted to tell the people in the city to work in peace, and that there would be no more heavy taxes and no more bandits entering the city." ”

No one paid attention to Zheng Fengshou, and in the end, the second prince took the initiative to respond.

At this time, Xiang Bei, who was well-fed, was shopping with Chu Pit, looking at a large group of people in Wei Guolou, running to the city gate with dozens of city government soldiers, Chu pity said yes, and he also knew that the city government soldiers were recruited to strengthen the people, but he didn't know what happened to the city lord.

Xiang Bei told her: "I'm afraid it wasn't they who took the initiative to take it in, but the city lord who took the initiative to send them." Even the men and horses were sent, and the city mainly ran away. He went out of the city at night to rob him, and the first business came. ”

"Okay, when the time comes, let's go. ”

"You pull it down, let's go, count on your three-yuan Yuan Fa technique, and if you get it out, you will be cut off by others. That city lord is a warrior, a little worse than Xiao Lei Lei. When the time comes, let them both fight, and we will cheer next to us. ”

"It's a bit of a bully. ”

"Isn't Xiao Lei Lei just a bully? ”

"That's right, the princess won't do it herself. Chu agreed with pity.
