In the Great Qin Wu Kingdom, the common people relied on the protection and management of the clan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThose who are not protected by the clan are the exiles, and although they can be exempted from the obligation to pay taxes and silver and the icon of the Martial Emperor, they are not protected by the imperial decree at all, and they cannot even enter the various cities because they do not have clan tokens.

Otherwise, if the displaced people enter the city, they will most likely be caught in prison by the gang of vicious officials in the Prayer Mansion to make up the credit.

Similarly, each clan in the city must be assessed and rated by a higher-level lieutenant or a military lieutenant and city lord in the city according to the clan's tax collection in the current year, as well as the fame and comprehensive strength of the clan's children.

Once a clan does not meet the conditions of the current rank, the lord in charge of the right to evaluate the rank of the clan in the city will reduce the rank of the clan. As a result, the status of all the clansmen in the city will also be reduced.

And a Ding Pinmo family like the Lin family is already the last class of the clan. If they are demoted again in this year's assessment, the Lin clan will no longer exist, and all the clansmen will be demoted to exiles and expelled from the city. Of course, if there are other clans that are willing to accept the Lin clansmen, who are no longer a clan, into their own clans and become affiliated clans, then they can avoid the fate of being relegated to exiles and expelled from the city.

You must know that although Yuanfeng City is only a small city, it has a large city protection array, a city lord of an innate martial artist, and the protection of two martial arts officers, which is enough to make many demon beasts in the deep mountains and wilderness dare not approach.

Therefore, the hundreds of miles around Yuanfeng City are all areas where the people of the human race can move relatively safely. The safest is in Yuanfeng City, and once they are expelled from the city and become outcasts, even some small villages where many human races have gathered are very likely to be raided by the mad demon beasts in the deep mountains.

Therefore, as soon as the seven or eight Lin clan disciples heard Lin Liangzhu's alarmist words, they were afraid that the Lin clan would really be relegated to exile outside the city, so they also hurriedly stepped forward to help persuade Lin Ye to come.

"Brother Ye, why are you so tough! Who is Master Dong? If he wants to kill you, it will be easy at all. He just cares about the reputation of the military lieutenant and the Dong family, so he doesn't care about you. Why do you bother to suffer for yourself, and even affect our Lin clan?"

"Yes, Lin Ye, don't you scholars often say that 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'? But look at what you are doing now! Even our Lin clan was hurt by you, which made Master Dong angry. ”

"If you can really help Miss Dong cure a strange disease, it is a great thing that everyone is happy about! Why not do it? A reward of 1,000 taels of silver, Miss Dong Mansion should be a beautiful wife, this is a good thing that no number of people can ask for!"

"Lin Ye, if you really angered Master Dong completely. Don't think that the decrees of the imperial court can keep you, with the friendship between Master Dong and the city lord, killing you as a common person can easily cover up the past. ”

......

These people took turns to try to persuade Lin Ye to bow to Dong Yuanchang from all sides, but Lin Ye's hard work in the past ten years had made his heart as solid as a rock, and no one could convince him of the truth.

"The kindness of a few people, Lin Ye understood it. The sage said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", which is to teach us scholars to know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages under the premise of adhering to our own principles. Moreover, the sage even taught us that when life and righteousness cannot be both, we should sacrifice our lives to take righteousness!"

Facing the fickle faces of these clansmen, Lin Ye shook his head with a smile and said. In fact, Lin Ye knew that if he told these reckless men this paragraph, they wouldn't understand the meaning. In fact, these words were said by Lin Ye to himself, and they also strengthened his adherence to his beliefs and principles.

"Dong Yuanchang failed me and almost killed me. How can I treat him as if nothing has happened, and then obey his words and go to the door to see a doctor in the blink of an eye? If I repay my grievances with virtue, then how can I repay virtue?"

After speaking, Lin Ye sneered and said, "So, you don't have to persuade me anymore, my mind has been decided, and I will never succumb to Dong Yuanchang to come to the door for treatment." ”

"Lin Ye, you donkey who has read a few books, if you want to die, don't pull in more than 100 people from our Lin clan!"

Lin Liangzhu, who has coveted the deed of Lin Ye's house for a long time, has had several head-to-head confrontations with Lin Ye, and has long known how difficult Lin Ye's temper is, so when he heard Lin Ye say this, he knew that no matter how he pulled down his face and begged, Lin Ye was also determined not to nod and give in.

Therefore, if the soft one doesn't work, Lin Liangzhu planned to come to the hard one, so he glanced at the few clansmen next to him: "Come on! Tie up this Diao Min Lin Ye who has missed paying taxes, since he doesn't plan to treat Miss Dong, then we will send him to the prison of the Prayer Mansion first." ”

Lin Liangzhu did this to force Lin Ye to succumb. Moreover, at this time, Lin Shan, who had previously run home to get the money, hurriedly ran back, holding a purse containing more than a dozen copper coins in his hand, and shouted from afar.

"Lin Ye's tax money is with me, you have to tie him up. ”

Lin Shan, who ran over out of breath, directly counted out ten copper coins from his purse and handed them to Lin Liangzhu, and said, "Patriarch, I paid Lin Ye's taxes for him, what other reason do you have to tie him up?"

"Lin Shan, don't meddle in your business. ”

Seeing Lin Shan, who came out halfway to make trouble, Lin Liangzhu kicked him viciously.

"Lin Liangzhu, Shanzi voluntarily paid the tax money for me, what does it have to do with you? Now that my tax money has also been paid, you have also collected the Martial Emperor Holy Statue. Could it be that you want to ignore the decree of my Great Qin Wuguo and lynch me? Aren't you afraid that Shanzi and I will go to beat the 'drum of talk' in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Seeing that Lin Shan had paid his ten cents of taxes, Lin Ye's confidence suddenly increased. This time, he didn't have any handle that could be handled by Lin Liangzhu, and he didn't need to delay for any longer, so he directly threatened Lin Liangzhu on the spot.

"Patriarch, this ...... What should I do this time? Master Dong said that if Lin Ye is not allowed to go to the Dong Mansion willingly to treat Miss Dong within half an hour, we Lin clan will be the only one who asks!"

"Yes, Patriarch, this is not going to be easy. Looking at this, it was impossible for Lin Ye to go to the Dong Mansion for treatment. I'm afraid that this time our Lin clan has angered Master Dong, and when the Nianguan clan is assessed, it will inevitably be deliberately made difficult by Master Dong!"

Seeing this, several clansmen were already worried, but Lin Liangzhu was angry, but he didn't have the slightest way to take Lin Ye. Even if he is a martial artist with a strength of two hundred catties, even if he is the patriarch of the Lin family, there is no way to face Lin Ye, a poor scholar who says that he wants to knock on the City Lord's Mansion at every turn.

"Master Dong should make it difficult if he wants to make it difficult! It is his bad luck to meet this stubborn donkey, and it is also our bad luck. Now that the sun has set, you can quickly go with me to the chief to pay this month's taxes and the statue of the Martial Emperor. We don't care about the things here, and we can't control them. ”

The helpless Lin Liangzhu, with three whip marks on his body visible and flesh and blood, stared at Lin Ye fiercely with his teeth, and threatened him before leaving, "Stinky boy, don't be complacent." As long as I am still the patriarch of the Lin clan for one day, you will never want to have a good life. ”

After letting go of the cruel words, Lin Liangzhu had no choice but to leave with his clansmen in a gloomy manner, which was in stark contrast to the menacing appearance when he came.

"Haha! Brother Ye, it's just too happy. The three whip marks on Lin Liangzhu's body can't be smoked by you, right?

Seeing Lin Liangzhu and the others leave in disgrace, Lin Shan said with a laugh.

"I don't have that ability, those three whip marks were smoked by Dong Yuanchang, the master of the Dong Mansion. ”

After Lin Ye smiled and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to Lin Shan, he thanked him and said, "Shanzi, this time I really got you to save me in time, and I, Lin Ye, will not forget your kindness." ”

"Brother Ye, what are you talking about? It's just a gesture, my Shanzi can now read and write, and it's all thanks to Brother Ye's teachings. Brother Ye, you are half of my teacher, and a mere ten cents is regarded as my tuition. ”

Being able to rush back in time to help Lin Ye, Lin Shan was also very happy in his heart. However, when he heard Lin Ye talk about the treatment of the Dong Mansion, he frowned again, and asked Lin Ye very cautiously: "But, Brother Ye, don't you really plan to go to the Dong Mansion to help Miss Dong treat her illness? ”

"Shanzi, you know that I have always had a clear grudge. Dong Yuanchang is Dong Yuanchang, and Miss Dong is Miss Dong Family. Although Dong Yuanchang looked down on me and didn't save me when he saw death. But this has nothing to do with Miss Dong, he, Dong Yuanchang, can see death and not save him, but I, Lin Ye, can't violate my conscience. It's just that I couldn't swallow this breath just now, so naturally I wouldn't bow my head to Dong Yuanchang and go to Dong Mansion to save people. ”

Facing Lin Shan's question, Lin Ye smiled slightly and explained.

"That'...... Brother Ye, do you mean, you still have to save this person?" Lin Shan was not stupid, and he heard the meaning of Lin Ye's words.

"I will definitely save people, but it is not him Dong Yuanchang who asked me to save me. I took the initiative to save it!"

Lin Ye tidied up the somewhat messy cotton clothes, then turned around and locked the open door, and walked in front of Lin Shandao, "Shanzi, let's go! Let's go to the Dong Mansion together, you just paid ten wen tax for me, and now there is a thousand taels of silver waiting for our brothers in the Dong Mansion!"
