"Who is in the hall, sue this official!"

Shocked by the wood, accompanied by Zhang Ran's cold question, the Bai family who knelt down was completely stunned:

What's going on......

"County Zun, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Zhongshan only felt that he had been hurt by 10,000 points of fright, why did he ...... Zhang Guo would actually sit in the hall?!

Bai Zhongshan, who had been immersed in the world for three hundred years, suddenly felt a fear of being ruined:

What's wrong with the world?

Don't...... Times have changed?

The county magistrate chuckled:

"I forgot that Mr. Bai has lived in seclusion for many years, and he can't do anything in the world, so it's better for the official to explain it."

"This fruit is the next county magistrate of Chongxian County reported by the county guard and approved by the imperial court, as the successor of this official, he is still learning how to serve as a good county magistrate......"

The county order was said to be light and fluttering, but when it fell on the ears of Bai Zhongshan and the Bai family, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day:

We...... Suing the next prefectural magistrate?

"It's over......"

Brother Gongzi seemed to have suffered a thunderbolt, muttering "It's over" and "It's over......

The prefectural order, no matter what world it is in, is not a simple role.

There is a saying:

[The county order of the broken family, the mansion Yin who destroyed the door! ] 】

In the folk, the county lord is the sky! No grass folk dares to offend the county order, because as long as the county order sees that you are not happy, in the county, you are a fish to be slaughtered.

Some people jokingly call it "Baili Hou", which shows its power......

And now the Bai family is no longer as simple as offending the county order, the head of the family, Bai Zhongshan, previously made a move to fight the cow across the mountain, not only provoked the mountain, but the cow also remembered him.

It is conceivable that the current Liu County Order, who has been threatened, will definitely not give up in the next term, and will definitely target the Bai family everywhere.

After he resigns, the Zhang Guo County Commander who took over will definitely remember today's humiliation from time to time......

Bai Zhongshan's face changed, and he suddenly disregarded the dignity of the Qi Refiner, "Bang Bang Bang!" It was three ringing heads, with the same cowardice as his son:

"The grass people are guilty!"

……

This farce set off by the Bai family ended with the Bai family's confession.

Because none of the charges were established, not only was Zhang Ran fine, but Liu County ordered the general to rebel and punish them for the bad behavior of "attacking the county government" and "slandering good people" of the Bai family.

If it weren't for his good attitude in admitting his guilt, Liu County's order would have allowed their whole family to go to prison for a month!

As for what kind of "good attitude" method is......

In the small hall, smoke fills the air.

The county commander satisfactorily weighed the twenty-pound jar of spirit spirits, and smiled at Zhang Ran on the side:

"Thirty-seven divides, you seven and I ......"

"That's a mistake!"

Zhang Ran immediately turned his face flat, pushed the spirit spirit jar into the county commander's arms, and said solemnly:

"The county respects hard work and high achievement, and it should be divided into seventy percent, and only thirty percent is left to reward you!"

Good boy, good man!

The county magistrate smiled and nodded:

"Okay, if the official doesn't answer, you will blame me, then this seventy percent, the official will laugh at it."

Although this is barely considered a bribe, it is tacitly approved in the Dayue court, as long as it is not a common man, the court will not care whether the magistrate has additional income.

Well, every Qi Refiner is a potential thief, and he can't be counted as a common person, so it's okay to squeeze it......

The county magistrate smiled:

"This Bai Zhongshan is really stupid, thinking that if he catches the relationship between you and me, he can take care of you and me, but in the end, stealing chickens and rice will not make it a loss, this pile of spirit spirits, I'm afraid that he will take out half of his old bottom!"

Zhang Ran had learned from the county order here that the qi refiners in the world were all the objects of registration and key supervision by the imperial court, which not only strictly controlled and restricted the scope of their activities, but also imposed heavy taxes on them.

Every Qi Refiner has to pay taxes to the local government on a monthly basis, but the government does not collect gold and silver, but collects spirit essence, and collects more than ninety percent of its monthly output!

There are two reasons for this appalling 90% tax:

First, because the Qi Refiner is the only producer of the spirit essence, and the necessity of the spirit spirit for the Qi and Blood Cultivators is extremely high, if the imperial court wants to be able to afford to raise the military attaches of the whole country, it will naturally have to frantically tax the Qi Refiners.

The second is that in addition to being useful for qi and blood cultivators, the spirit essence is also effective for internal strength martial artists, and a living qi refiner is equivalent to a continuous stream of cultivation resource making machines.

Therefore, if the Qi Refiner is allowed to extract the spirit essence, he will soon be able to pull up an internal force martial artist to evolve into a Qi Refiner, once there are too many such folk extraordinary powerhouses, the rule of the imperial court will definitely be unstable, and the Qi Refiners will rebel everywhere in three days.

In order to avoid such a situation, the imperial court had to impose a terrifying heavy tax on the qi refiners, seize the spirit essence, so that they could not use the spirit essence to create more qi refiners, which was equivalent to a "reduction of ding" policy for the qi refiners!

The old Qi Refiner will eventually run out of longevity, and the new Qi Refiner can only evolve and generate on his own from the internal force martial artists, plus the local officials will give a copy of the Qi and Blood Exercise Method when they meet the talented young man, consuming the source of the new generation of Qi Refiners.

After coming and going, he successfully controlled the number of Qi Refiners to just the right level, which could not only collect enough spiritual essence taxes, but also prevent Qi Refiners from having the ability to rebel.

When Li Congdao first saw Zhang Ran in the hospital, he scolded the county order as a "dog official" and the imperial court policy as a "desperate plan......

"However, I'm not a qi refiner, I'm the [Dog Official] you scolded!"

Zhang Ran secretly complained, sure enough, it is the ass that decides the head, as long as I am the [dog official], I can laugh at your words about scolding me, and even laugh in response......

Just listen to the county order and say:

"It seems that the qi refiners don't want to stop again, first Li Cong deliberately wanted to pit the official, and then Bai Zhongshan's whole family came to complain, but they were really lawless, and they didn't take the court and the official in their eyes at all!"

He thought about it, directly took out a blackstone sign with golden words written on the surface, handed it to Zhang Ran, and said solemnly:

"From now on, the authority to collect taxes on qi refiners every month will be handed over to you, and with this tax order, Li Cong, Bai Zhongshan, and the [Tian A] who lives in no fixed place, the three of them will never dare to resist."

"Taxation has always been at the end of the month, and this month has just reached the middle of the month, but this time in order to punish these two guys jumping up and down, you will go to collect taxes tomorrow, and the tax amount will be collected according to the fifteen catties of the previous month.

……

After returning to the small courtyard, Zhang Ran played with the token curiously.

"Just such a stone token can also scare the unruly Qi Refiners?"

Zhang Ran couldn't believe it, and curiously, he began to decipher the inscription on the token:

[The emperor beheaded Xuanyuan in Beijing, and said: It's better than the opposite! 】

Just reading the inscription, Zhang Ran didn't understand it very well, because he didn't understand what the meaning of this text was to the Qi Refiner.

"Let's take the time to ask the county order, there are too many things in this Dayue Imperial Court that I don't understand......"

Zhang Ran sighed with emotion, the more he understood, the more interested he was in the history of today's Yue Kingdom, how this powerful and strange transcendent empire was established and continued......

Shaking his head, Zhang Ran put away the token again and began to pay attention to the large box of spirit spirits on the table.

The spirit spirit from the county order is about seven catties, and the amount is similar to the amount obtained from Tian Buyi last time, and it is estimated that it is enough for the tiger to eat for a long time.

Looking at this spirit spirit, Zhang Ran thought of its original owner and producer:

Hakunayama!

After the county magistrate retreated, he told Zhang Ran about the deeds of this qi refiner.

Bai Zhongshan cultivated Qi Refiner three hundred years ago, which was earlier than Li Cong Dao two hundred years ago, and he was considered an old-timer among Qi Refiners.

Although this person is a qi refiner, he is not as high-profile as Li Cong, he neither starts a sect, nor does he accept apprentices to pass on his art, he only disguises himself as an ordinary rich man, and has lived in the county town for more than 300 years, and he is notoriously cowardly and low-key.

Bai Zhongshan faked his death for an average of fifty years to change his identity, so as not to be discovered by ordinary people about his longevity and cultivation, everything was on par with mortals, except for cultivating generations of loyal guards, there were no more superfluous actions.

For more than 300 years, he has married and started a family many times like a mortal, but only now he has given birth to a descendant, that is, the son-in-law "Bai Huiwen".

Because he is a lone seedling, Bai Zhongshan loves him very much and even dotes on him, but this son has always been unsuitable for him:

The son neither likes to practice martial arts, nor does he like to read, and he is simply two extremes, if he does not inherit his "cowardice" perfectly, Bai Zhongshan will wonder if he is his son......

It is worth mentioning that Bai Zhongshan's cultivation is even higher than Li Cong, and the invisible sword qi in one hand claims to be indestructible, and he exerts it with all his might, that scene can be compared to tens of thousands of arrows, and the sword qi is extremely sharp, and the qi and blood cultivation of the county lieutenant can't withstand a round of sword qi washing!

Its combat effectiveness is also above Li Cong!

But it is such a terrifying existence, but he is willing to hide in the world for three hundred years, I really don't know if it is because he is too cowardly, or because the court is too strong......

After thinking about it, Zhang Ran let go of his mind and shouted:

"Tiger, it's time to eat!"

Whew!

The tiger, who hadn't eaten for half a day, quickly jumped up from the couch, jumped onto the table in a few steps, and feasted on the spirit in the box with satisfaction.

envied the green snake that was standing in the iron cage on the side......
