"Miscalculated ......"

West of the city, white house.

The head of the family, Bai Zhongshan, sat alone in the study, although he was not particularly good at reading, but staying here could calm him down.

"Alas!"

Bai Zhongshan sighed, this action, not only did not help his son get angry, but he pitted himself, this is good, he provoked the current county order, and the next county order, but if the other party wants to retaliate, he can only bear it obediently!

"What should I do?"

In order to avoid disaster this time, Bai Zhongshan is really bleeding, although his cultivation is higher than Li Cong, but it is also very high, Li Cong can extract seven or eight taels of spiritual essence in a day, and he can extract eleven or two taels at best.

Except for the daily cultivation time, most of the rest of the time must be constantly extracted spirit essence, so that after paying the tax at the end of the month, there will be enough spirit essence for the guards to cultivate.

And it was precisely because he used the spirit spirit to pile up cultivation for the guards, that they had the outstanding cultivation that they had reached the acquired high level at a young age!

It can be said that he, Bai Zhongshan, is a humanoid hematopoietic machine, not only has to pay the terrifying ninety percent of the official taxes, but also supports the guards in their cultivation......

I have to say that the court's desperate plan is powerful.

Under such a high amount of consumption, even if he cultivated in Bai Zhongshan for three hundred years, he really couldn't save up his savings, let alone pull up a group of qi refiners to kill officials and rebel!

There is a saying in the county order that is not wrong, every Qi Refiner is half a thief, and once the imperial court is weakened, it is the time for them to rebel in various places.

Rebellion is the ultimate goal of a Qi Refiner's life.

But unfortunately, because the tax rate is too high, they simply do not have the resources to support their rebellion......

"Twenty-two catties of spirit spirits, I have saved up my family funds for three hundred years, and I will go directly to the small half ......"

Bai Zhongshan, who regretted it, felt that his heart was dripping blood:

This is all the capital of rebellion in the future!

Even if he is a cowardly qi refiner, he also has a dream of killing officials and rebelling, no matter whether he dares or not, he must always have the foundation for rebellion, and a large amount of spiritual essence savings is this material foundation.

Half of the three-hundred-year savings were lost in an instant, and the dream of rebellion was still an unattainable dream after all......

Throwing the chaos aside, Bai Zhongshan tried to calm down:

"Now, I have to cut down my cultivation time in the next few decades to save time to extract spiritual essence and slowly make up for the loss."

Although he is still unwilling, he has survived three hundred years of squeezing, and it is not bad for these decades, anyway, he is far from the limit of longevity, and there is a kind of life longer than Lao Tzu, watch Lao Tzu consume dozens of you dog officials again!

Thinking of Shenxiu's poor Shouyuan, Bai Zhongshan really felt much more comfortable in his heart......

Gathering his thoughts, he closed his eyes and mobilized the huge spiritual power in his body, using his own spiritual power as a guide to gather the spiritual energy of the four directions of heaven and earth, and then went through a series of magical techniques that non-qi refiners could not understand.

A little bit of fine crystal clear sand came out of thin air and gently landed in the jar he had prepared beforehand.

The whole process is boring and complicated, and the speed is extremely slow, only those who are patient can extract the spirit essence for a long time, otherwise they will be suffocated sooner or later......

Bang bang!

In the middle of this tedious process, I suddenly heard a knock on the door!

Bai Zhongshan opened his eyes and frowned, wondering if he had lost face and lost his hair yesterday, causing this group of guards to dare to offend him.

"Who! I don't know, sir, I can't disturb myself during retreat! ”

Bai Zhongshan's tone is not good, although he was given face by the county order, it does not mean that he can afford to be provoked.

He made up his mind, no matter who knocked on the door, he must be severely punished today, and the highest will be expelled from the Bai family, so that this guy can experience what it means to be difficult to travel in the rivers and lakes, so as to re-establish the majesty of the head of the family!

However......

"Daddy! It's me, Huiwen! ”

The son's eager voice made Bai Zhongshan instantly dumbfounded:

Why are you kid, I'm just about to restore the majesty of the head of the family......

"Stinky boy, come in!"

Bai Zhongshan didn't have a good airway.

With his father's permission, Bai Huiwen hurriedly pushed the door in and shouted:

"Daddy! Woe to you! Yesterday's Zhang Guo came to our house! ”

Bai Zhongshan's tiger body was shocked, and he immediately shouted:

"Please!"

Bai Huiwen nodded, and just as he turned around and walked a few steps, he saw a terrifying figure striding over:

"No need to invite, I'll just come by myself!"

As soon as the voice came out, the pseudonym Zhang San's "Zhang Guo" stepped into the study.

The father and son of the Bai family hurriedly arranged for them to sit down, and when the two sides sat down, they saw Bai Zhongshan reluctantly smiled and said:

"My lord is here in the cold house, which really makes this house shine, I don't know what the adults are doing?"

Zhang Ran smiled:

"Mr. Bai, don't be nervous, those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that I and the county commander are the kind of dog officials who fish and flesh the people? Now that you're done, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Are you sure? I don't believe it!

Bai Zhongshan smiled on the surface, but he didn't take this seriously at all in his heart, judging from his experience and experience of more than 300 years, these dog officials were simply carved out of a mold, and none of them were good things.

Don't look at the other party smiling now, but definitely didn't bring a good intention, definitely don't ask for something!

Sure enough, this "Zhang Guo" suddenly turned pale:

"The imperial court has a lot of use this month, the spirit tax is not very enough, this time it is the county order to find me, saying that this month's spirit tax is paid in advance, and the last month's share is fifteen catties, the court is urgent, just collect it now!"

Dog officer!

Bai Zhongshan was anxious at that time, and directly began to greet the eighteenth generation ancestors of this "Zhang Guo" in his heart.

Knowing that I was only fined more than 20 catties of spirit spirits, and now I have set up a name to overcharge, do you really treat Lao Tzu as a shrunken turtle who is exploited at will?

"My lord, I think ......"

Bai Zhongshan's face was gloomy, and he was about to turn his face.

But he saw that Zhang Ran had already prepared to take out a token with black stone gold characters from his sleeve, and seemed to play with it in front of Bai Zhongshan's eyes unintentionally, and those gold words were falling on his sight......

Bai Zhongshan's face immediately changed again, with indescribable fear in his eyes.

"My lord, I think it is the honor of my generation of qi refiners to share the worries of the imperial court, just fifteen catties of spirit essence!"

In fear, Bai Zhongshan made the most correct decision, and immediately patted his chest and said that paying taxes for the imperial court is the glory of my generation!

……

"It's really weird, what does this brand mean? Actually scared a Qi Refiner who had lived for more than three hundred years into such a ......"

Walking out of the white house, Zhang Ran held the sealed big jar in one hand and played with the black stone token in the other.

The process of collecting the spirit tax was originally very difficult, and even Zhang Ran felt that the other party wanted to turn his face more than once, but in the end, after the sign appeared, Bai Zhongshan suddenly became well-behaved......

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

Behind this short text, there seems to be an extremely far-reaching past, and this past event is a major historical event that can cause fear for all Qi Refiners!

Zhang Ran thought about it for a while, and decided to ask the county order for the history of the Yue Kingdom in the future, not the history of ordinary people, but the history of cultivators, he was really more and more curious about this Yue Fan Empire......

"Okay, solve Bai Zhongshan, and the next thing is Li Cong and Li Daochang."

For this Taoist, who is regarded as his employer, he has also taken the monthly support fee of ten taels of spiritual essence for several months, and the so-called short hands and soft mouths of people are soft, if it is not necessary, he really doesn't want to have something unpleasant with him.

Zhang Ran sighed:

"I hope Daochang Li will take care of it, after all, as a person in the court now, I can't sit with them, and some conflicts between the two sides are really unavoidable!"

However, having said that, Zhang Ran is happy with his life today:

It's really cool to be a dog officer who is a fish and meat refiner!
