Zhang Yuanwai was wearing a tattered cotton robe, with his hands in the sleeve cage. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info snorted coldly and said: "What to do, nothing to do - either treachery or theft, this is also a banquet without a good banquet, please have no good invitation." I still remember the last time you invited us, the last time you invited us, you forgot what kind of glass recipes you were selling. Think about that Tang Yuanwai. I spent more than 10,000 taels of silver to buy the recipe, and I spent a lot of money to build a glass kiln and wanted to make a fortune. Now, let's take a look at Tang Yuanwai? Hey, don't say anything, don't think about getting rich if you don't have the ability of others. Planting our land in a down-to-earth manner is the right way. If there are any more moths this time, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

"I met you a few days ago. Begging for food on the street with a stick. This guy is down, and it's called Hanako. No wonder others, at that time, he raised the price too high, and went bankrupt to buy it. This is not enough, and go to borrow money. How can this be done. You have to leave yourself a way out. It's good now, you can't make glass and mess up the pot. The family that was forced to die by the people who put some money away! Look at that miserable image, tsk. A member next to him wearing a red embroidered cotton robe and a fox fur square flat hat said. When they heard him say that, they all started talking there. Zhang Yuanwai snorted coldly and did not participate in these people's discussions. Shrinking back to the back of the group. Hiding in a corner where no one else notices.

It wasn't long before I heard the scribe shouting, "The prefect has arrived." "Governor Hu came out wearing a brocade cotton jacket and a black veil. Sit down with a big grin. The people knelt down and said goodbye. "Get up, it's cold underground, don't kneel. And the people became anxious. "Well, I'm going to gather everyone here today to discuss something. Master, tell me about it. ”

Master Yu took a piece of paper and read it. Read it quickly. These landlords and old fortunes also heard it clearly. In a nutshell, let you take the money. The master finished reading. The pot exploded at the bottom. "Lord Prefect, I bought all the cement a few days ago!"

"Well, yes. The landlord's family has no surplus food. ”

"Well, the first few days have just been apportioned. Why is it apportioned again today. ”

Seeing this, Hu Zhifu picked up the town hall wood and knocked it on the table. "Silence. The official next to him shouted.

"I told you, this time it's the Pingbei tax. Add three taels and five dollars per mu. Count how many acres of land there are. Master, bring me the land book. Give them a good calculation. When it was clear and the money was paid. Just let them go. Otherwise, stay in this hall! After Governor Hu finished speaking, he ignored the gang and went out. It doesn't matter how fierce these landlords and old fortunes are there. Some landlords don't want to run. Unexpectedly, the door was already full of catchers and officials with steel knives in their hands. Zhang Yuanwai whispered at the bottom: "What the old man said is right. There's nothing to please. "Everyone is looking at Zhang Yuanwai. Zhang Yuanwai has the most land, and 'half of Sicheng is surnamed Zhang', which is not nonsense. I think that at the beginning, Zhu Lin's one-third of an acre of land was still bought in Zhang Yuanwai's hands.

"Don't look at me, I won't hand it over anyway. There wasn't that much silver. Zhang Yuanwai said with confidence. Master Ji watched the group of people discuss at the next table. There is no hurry to count the number of acres. I thought to see who could grind whom.

Outside the city, in Wangjiazhuang, a group of soldiers guarding the camp blocked the water around the village. Lieutenant, oh, that is, the uncle of Zhu Lin's future wife. While striking a small gong, he shouted: "The head of every household, the strong laborers are listening, and the official has asked you to go to the threshing floor at the west end of the village to discuss matters." Those who went had two big bucks taken. Let's go quickly. ”

"me, take out my rotten jacket and I'll take a look. There are really two big bucks to take. If there is, I'll let the three babies call you to go. It's a pity, hey, there is only this one cotton pants that can be worn out at home. Lie in bed. Cover the quilt. Don't freeze. The woman lying on the bed handed over the padded jacket. The old man put on his padded jacket, took a homespun hat, and went out in his fur. Not far from the door, "Yo, old Dingtou, you can go too!" a neighbor asked. "Uh-huh, didn't you say that there were two big bucks to take?" "Yes, I heard that, if it weren't for the two big bucks. Who goes out on such a cold day? Let's go, old Dingtou, let's go together. ”

"Well, good. ”

In the threshing floor, the more people gathered, the more and more people gathered. A small colonel stood on the mill, looking at the crowd and nodding at the lieutenant. The lieutenant nodded his head. said: "Except for Wang Jun and the second leper's family, they didn't come. Those who can come are here. ”

"Alright, let's get started. The colonel ordered. Jumping on the mill with the military clerk. Picked up a piece of paper and read it. Before I finished reading it, the villagers of Wangjia Village at the bottom blew up the pot. There he shouted, "Didn't you say that there are two big bucks? Every day, this tax and that tax are not allowed to live. As soon as the front is tight, the tax will be raised. When is this a head. ”

The little colonel pulled the knife and said loudly: "Whoever shouts, stand up." I'll give you two big money, and tomorrow you will pay back two dollars. Think about it. As soon as the Colonel pulled out the knife, everyone was afraid. They scattered and wanted to run. But I don't know when, the grain field was already full of soldiers, there with bows and arrows, spears in their hands. staring at the villagers. This time, the villagers are like sheep in the mouth of the tiger. There is no escape.

"Captain, bring the account books. "When the military documents saw this, they didn't read the proclamation anymore. He took the account book handed by the chief and read it. Who, who, who, how much money and grain are owed for several years. Read them one by one. When he read it, he pointed out who it was. Then the soldiers went to their homes to collect the money.

Here they read one by one, and one by one they are escorted home. The two soldiers escorted the old man to his home, and the old man begged the two soldiers all the way, begging to let him go. My home is already surrounded by four walls, and there is no firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The two soldiers looked at the shabby appearance of the old Ding head, and they couldn't bear it. Who doesn't have parents and siblings at home, but what can be done? The two soldiers discussed and saw if they could take a little less when the time came. When they arrived at Lao Dingtou's house, the two soldiers saw that there was really nothing to take. A family with only one pair of cotton pants, what else can you take. But I can't get anything, and I can't go back. The two pawns had no choice but to take away the only neat piece of Lao Dingtou's family, that is, a box that Lao Dingtou's wife had married. The old Ding Tou's family was lucky, and they met two pawns who still had a little conscience. Other families are not so lucky, as long as they can take it, they will not let go, kitchen knives, water tanks, quilts, cotton jackets, and food. Anyway, I will not let go of what I can take.

The barn was full of looted rags. When the little colonel saw it, his head was extremely big, and two soldiers actually snatched the two stone lions at the door of a family. Why do you want this stone lion? Wang Lichang was busy there, helping the clerks to settle accounts there. Tsk, there's still a big family here that hasn't been robbed. Turning his head, he grabbed a pawn and said a few words. The pawn beckoned a few brothers and led the people straight to the chief's house.

In the chief's house, chickens and dogs are jumping, and the pawns are grabbing there unscrupulously. After all, it is the patriarch's family, and there is still a lot of money. grabbed the housekeeper of the chief's house, and put a knife on his neck to scare a few words. The housekeeper poured beans in the bamboo tube and generally explained everything. Where is the money hidden, where is the grain hidden. That's honestly explained. A few soldiers rushed into a side room, which was the boudoir of the eldest daughter, and a girl was trembling on the bed, watching these uninvited guests who broke through the door. "Hey, hey, this little girl is pretty good-looking. Brothers, hurry up and get something. Let's have fun when we have time. There were also a few women there, and they looked pretty good. Cheap you guys. As he spoke, he swept away all the things in the eldest daughter's room. After moving things out, put them in the yard. A few guys hurried to the eldest daughter's room. Regardless of the cold, he took off his clothes when he entered the room. The pawn who took the lead pounced. In a few strokes, the girl's clothes were torn. The eldest daughter cries for help in the house, struggling to get rid of the pawn. But how can a weak girl get rid of these beasts with sperm worms. There were voices of crying and pleading in the midst of several houses. The people who were being held in the courtyard faced the knives and guns of the pawns. I didn't dare to move. I can only plead there bitterly.

The housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore, "I'm fighting with you brutes." With a roar, he rushed to the eldest daughter's room. With a "poof", a pawn stabbed the housekeeper to death with a knife. He took out the knife from the butler, wiped it a few times, inserted it into the scabbard and said, "Whoever dares to move, this is the end." Our eldest brother is on you, and my daughter looks up to you. Don't fucking kick your nose in the face. A few of the pawns came out of the house satisfied. Picking up the knife, he said to the few pawns who were guarding just now, "Go ahead, you guys are happy too." Hurry up. Don't be like Big Brother, you haven't come out for so long. ”

The lieutenant was still busy there, and he didn't know anything about what was going on at home. Can anyone in the neighborhood not know about such a big thing? But none of them told the lieutenant chief. Everyone hated this incident very much. Knowing that these Qiu Ba are here to collect taxes, you as the governor don't notify everyone. But you shouldn't be acting for the tiger and hurting everyone. I was really blind and chose you as the patriarch, but I might as well be the patriarch of Wang Jun. If Wang Jun was here, this would never have happened.

After the lieutenant was busy, he bowed his body like a pug, and his face was full of flattering smiles, after sending the little colonel and this group of Qiu Ba away. got the twenty taels of silver from the school, and went home happily singing a little song. I was still proudly thinking that the family property had finally been saved. These twenty taels of silver are enough to buy several women.
