This tax official really felt that Wei Fang was making fun of him and teasing him.

You know, just yesterday when he passed outside Beizhou with his benefactor, the town guard eunuch, he also deliberately observed the Xu family soldier, and saw the people inside neighing and roaring, which was extremely spectacular.

Even if there are few, it can't be just one horse, right?

You must know that this time, the Beizhou government's decree against the major wealthy families is to levy a hundred taels of taxes on a war horse, which is a conspiracy, and it is to use the majesty of the Great Qi court to blatantly suppress the major wealthy families.

And the Xu clan is their main target, if the Xu clan only has one war horse, it is completely unnecessary.

Wei Fang was playing tricks on him, the tax officer.

Didn't take him seriously at all.

Last night, the tax official also got detailed information about the Xu family from the Beizhou governor, and knew that the Xu family had 20,000 cavalry, and they were all double cavalry, that is, there must be at least 40,000 war horses in the cavalry camp outside the city.

In addition, he also knew that the Xu family's harvest in the grassland was far more than that, and it was estimated that there were still tens of thousands of war horses in Pingyang County, the newly occupied territory of the Xu family.

That is to say, during a trip to the grassland, Wei Fang got tens of thousands of war horses, and the quality of these war horses is still very high, all of them are from the barbarian grassland, even compared with the war horses owned by the elite of the Northwest Border Army, they are not much better, and even the quality will be better.

After all, although this place of the Barbarian Empire is not suitable for growing grain, it is indeed a first-class place for raising horses, but the sky is wide and the water and grass are abundant.

In the past, when Daqi was strong, it often went north to raid the grassland.

However, now Wei Fang only gave him a hundred taels of silver, and only paid the tax on a war horse, but he kept saying that he had paid the tax, isn't this a joke about him?

When is he blind?

Or a fool?

If he took such a hundred taels of silver and went back to pay the errand, even if he had been following the town eunuch for many years, I am afraid that he would not be able to eat good fruits, and he would be scolded in the cold, or even severely whipped.

Because, if the tax collector goes back so unclearly, he will lose the face of the eunuch.

And his benefactor, the eunuch who guards the town, is a big man in the northwest, and he loses the face of such a person with great power in the northwest, even if Wei Fang does it, if the tax official does not perform well, he will still be punished.

Wei Fang chose to do so, which is simply humiliating.

This is humiliating him, and it is also humiliating the backing behind him!

The tax officer's face immediately became gloomy, and he stared at Wei Fang coldly, and said:

"Young Master Xu, isn't he joking?"

Wei Fang looked at the tax official with a smile and replied seriously:

"How could I be joking?

"Your Excellency is here, after all, on behalf of the Beizhou Mansion, on behalf of the Great Qi court, my Xu family is a loyal courtier of the imperial court, for the imperial court decrees, naturally have to abide by it, since the state pastor wants to levy heavy taxes on war horses, my Xu family naturally supports.

"It's just that although my Xu clan is a wealthy family in Beizhou, but after calculation, there is only such a war horse, so I can only give you a hundred taels of silver, what, aren't you satisfied?"

When the tax official heard this, he laughed angrily:

"Okay, okay, your Xu family is really bold, you dare to deceive Shangguan, aren't you afraid of raiding the house and beheading?"

Well?

Wei Fang looked at the tax collector like a fool, and said slowly:

"It seems that I have to teach Your Excellency the principles of being a human being first...... You need to know that trouble comes from the mouth! ”

Boom!

Wei Fang stomped on the ground violently, and the surroundings immediately trembled, and a deep pit with a diameter of three or four meters immediately burst out under his feet, and circles of qi waves surrounded him, spreading wildly to all sides.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Fang came to the tax officer, raised his arm, swung his fist, and countless qi bursts out, like a wind blade slashing across the tax officer's face, cutting through his skin, and dripping with blood.

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

After nine voices in a row, the tax collector was born, and after finishing speaking, the chests of the nine followers he brought exploded, revealing a huge blood hole, which pounced to the end, and the dead could not die again.

Swish!

Wei Fang returned to the original place, raised his hand and pressed it, and the smoke disappeared immediately, so that the surroundings returned to calm, but the deep pit under his feet and the nine dead bodies behind the tax officer made the tax official not treat what had just happened as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the pride in the tax officer's heart was completely gone, and he was completely frightened by Wei Fang.

"Brutal, so brutal!"

He felt that Wei Fang's murder had no warning at all, and he was very polite one moment, and killed all his subordinates the next moment, in order to give himself a warning and teach himself the truth of "disaster comes from the mouth".

It is indeed a disaster that comes from the mouth, and with a threatening word from himself, nine brothers died.

In the tax official's mind, although he did not show his true identity, his current identity is also the Beizhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, representing the Great Qi Imperial Court, and he is a serious court official, no matter where he goes, he is a superior person, even if it is these wealthy families, he always has to give a face, even if he really snubs him, he can't kill people, right?

But.

He was wrong, Wei Fang really dared to kill people in front of him, and killed everyone under him in one go, in his opinion, this is to kill chickens and monkeys, completely for his own show, and did not kill himself, it is estimated that a living person is needed to send a message back to the state pastor's mansion.

The tax collector is aware of the danger here.

Xu's mansion, Longtan Tiger's Den!

It turned out that when the tax official came to Xu's, he actually had already expected all kinds of things he might encounter, either with Xu's false and wrongful snakes, or being snubbed by Xu, but in any case, he didn't expect that Wei Fang would dare to kill people directly.

It's not as simple as killing a few people.

This means that the Xu family wants to turn their faces and break with the Beizhou Governor's Mansion, and they don't care about the majesty of the Great Qi Imperial Court.

When I came here, I didn't go to the Hongmen banquet, but went directly into the wolf's den and tiger's den, and if I was not careful, I was afraid that I would have to die here.

The tax collector regretted that he wanted to die, regretting why he had to work hard last night, and begged the benefactor to give him the task of testing the Xu family.

What a death!

In fact, as the henchman of the eunuch, his knowledge is not low, and from his cognition in all aspects, he also knows that the wealthy families in this northwest land are very good not to provoke, all of them are unruly, and if they don't agree with each other, they will kill people.

It's just that he used to follow the town guard eunuch, but he has never seen this face, every time he deals with the family, the other party will give him a little dignity in the face of the town guard eunuch, most of the time, he is also greeted with a smile, and will give him some money and food, shops and other gifts.

Therefore, in his cognition, when he came to the Xu family this time, he should have received similar treatment, and he did not expect that he would be threatened by life and death here.

However, at this moment, Wei Fang's performance is the true face of the wealthy family in the northwest, the people in the northwest are fierce, and as a big family in the northwest, if there is no blood, how can they become a master?

Gu Wei Fang flicked his fingers, looked at the bloodless tax officer, and smiled silently, this dog thing, dare to yell at the Xu family, and dare to question his words, if he doesn't give him a warning, where is the dignity of the Xu family?

Looking at his appearance now, he should have understood a little bit of the truth of being a man. Wei Fang said seriously:

"Your Excellency, you must have agreed with me by now, right? I really only have one war horse in fifty, although there are 20,000 cavalry outside the city, but they are not riding horses, they are donkeys, and I hope that Your Excellency will know it!

"Your Excellency, what do you think?"

When the tax officer heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and four words immediately burst out of his mind:

Refer to a horse as a donkey!

What a guts!

But.

He wanted to refute, but Mo Yang, whose nine subordinates had died tragically, resurfaced in his mind, their bodies were all distorted, and the huge blood hole in his chest was very dazzling, and the blood flowed.

His face changed, and finally he squeezed out a smile and said:

"Your Excellency is right, the Xu family really only has one war horse, and everything else is ...... Donkey! ”

Then, he pinched the hundred taels of silver in his hand and said solemnly:

"The Xu family has indeed paid the tax, and I will tell the state pastor truthfully."

This guy finally recognized the reality, and the temperament of seeing the wind and making the rudder in his bones immediately surged up, seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when he saw him, in order to save his life, he had completely disregarded his own dignity, the dignity of the state pastor, and the dignity of the Great Qi court, and it was completely in line with Wei Fang's intentions.

Because, he is really scared at this moment, there is a great terror between life and death, seeing the tragic situation of his nine subordinates, he doesn't want to die for no reason, although he is no longer young, but he has a good life for twenty or thirty years, and hopes to enjoy life.

Now, no matter what Wei Fang says, he will admit that he only hopes that the other party can let him go and leave Xu Mansion alive.

In fact, in dealing with the Xu family, whether it is the eunuch guarding the town or the tax official, they underestimate the Xu Mansion and the Wei Fang, and always feel that their status here is expensive, and they don't put the local wealthy families in their eyes.

Wei Fang glanced at the tax collector up and down, and suddenly showed a gentle smile, he felt that this guy was quite slippery, he casually sent a wave of air, knocked this guy away, and said:

".

"Go back and tell your master that you don't make such childish jokes again, or I'll take it seriously.

"If I really take it seriously, have you really thought about the consequences?"

The tax official touched his already swollen cheeks, and without saying a word, he immediately rushed out of Xu's mansion.

Anyway, he survived.

……

……

After the tax official left, Wei Fang immediately looked around and commanded:

"Pass my order, immediately give an order to the army outside the city, let them enter Beizhou City, take over the city defense, and control the situation in the city."

Now that he already knows the attitude of the State Pastor Mansion towards the Xu family, and knows that the other party has shown hostility, Wei Fang will naturally not be polite, the enemy is already going to on his head, if he doesn't fight back fiercely, how can he be worthy of the strength he has mastered, and the 20,000 troops outside the city?

Now, the most powerful voice in this Beizhou City is the Xu family, not the Beizhou Mansion, to be honest, he feels that this Beizhou Mansion move is a bit stupid, isn't that the state pastor not aware of the strength of the Xu family at this time?

Moreover, if you really have an opinion on the Xu family, then you shouldn't be so rude and tempted, just secretly mobilize the northwest army to come over and encircle and suppress it, if that's really the case, although Wei Fang is not afraid, but he will also look down on this state pastor.

Now, this kind of behavior of the other party, in the eyes of Wei Fang, is completely a joke, it can't be on the stage at all, and it can't do anything about the Xu family, and it also exposes the true intentions of the state pastor or the imperial court.

It's ridiculous.

But.

After all, this Beizhou Mansion represents the Great Qi Imperial Court, although the Xu family has an advantage, but the strength and heritage of the Beizhou Mansion are still not to be underestimated, just now, Wei Fang almost humiliated the horse as a donkey, handed over a hundred taels of silver to the tax official, and killed nine people on the other side, which actually shows the attitude of the Xu family, and it can be regarded as a broken face with the Beizhou Mansion, thinking that the Beizhou Mansion should have been prepared for this possibility, and it is estimated that the next set of combination punches will come down.

Therefore, instead of silently waiting for the opponent to make a move, and Xu's counterattack on defense, it is better to take the initiative to make a move.

As the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers, Wei Fang is now a martial arts strength, it can be said that he is the first person in Beizhou, and he still has 20,000 troops in his hands, even if Beizhou Mansion has a strong strength now, he can still crush it, plus a surprise attack, the chance of winning is greater.

Thinking of this, Wei Fang said to the many Xu family high-level layers:

"Let's go, let's go to the Beizhou Mansion to see what the situation is over there, and also ask the state pastor what he is thinking, isn't it good that each other's well water does not interfere with the river water?"

To be honest, according to Wei Fang's original estimate, that state pastor should not be a short-sighted person, and he should not test the Xu family so roughly, or rather, with the strength and background that the Xu family now has, he does not have the courage to brush the Xu family's tiger whiskers like this.

But.

And so he did.

Wei Fang suspected that either the state pastor received an order from his superiors, or a big man secretly came to the Beizhou Mansion and took over the rights of the Beizhou Mansion, so he gave such an order, and the state pastor in the Beizhou Mansion dared to do so because of someone supporting him.

Therefore, Wei Fang wanted to go to Beizhou Mansion to see what the situation was over there, if there was really such a big man planning over there, he would like to see who it was? How dare you be so hostile to him Xu?

If not, he also wanted to ask the Beizhou Governor if he drank too much fake wine yesterday and gave such a stupid order!

……

……

State Pastoral Office.

As soon as the tax collector entered the mansion, he ran wildly, found the town guard, and knelt down and wept:

"Please make the decision for me!

"That Xu clan is simply arrogant and domineering, he didn't take me seriously at all, not only humiliated me and beat me, but also killed all nine of my accompanying guards at once, and even referred to the horse as a donkey, saying that there was only one war horse in his family, and he only gave me a hundred taels of silver as a tax, and drove me out.

"The Xu family is humiliating me, humiliating the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, humiliating the Great Qi Court, and humiliating you!"

The tax collector added fuel to his fire and told his experience in the Xu family, and at this moment, after he returned to the state pastor's mansion and came to the town guard eunuch, he felt that he was safe, and his fear of Wei Fang dissipated, and his hatred rose.

His purpose in saying bad things about the Xu family is also very clear, that is, he wants to take revenge on the Xu family, and he also feels that his benefactor, the eunuch in front of him, the town guard eunuch in the northwest land, is also capable of suppressing the Xu family.

This is one of the most powerful figures in the Northwest Land, and he is the henchman of the current Emperor of Great Qi, not only his personal martial arts strength is quite strong, but he also has a team of secret agents in his hands.

At this time, the tax official was already imagining how he would take revenge on these Xu clansmen after the Xu clan was destroyed by his benefactor, and he swore that he would let these guys taste all the torture in the world and let them die in pain.

After listening to the words of his henchman, his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he slapped the table fiercely:

"Bold!"
