"Smack!"

"Bastard thing!"

"Do you want to rebel?!"

"Still holding a knife? Are you going to chop off my old bones first? ”

The person who came was none other than the old village chief.

What is the person who has seen a big battle in his old man, even if Hou Wu is holding a knife in his hand at this time, he is fierce, but he is not afraid at all, he raises his hand with a big mouth, and directly pulls Hou Wu away.

The corners of Hou Wu's mouth were bleeding instantly, and the roots of his teeth were about to be crushed, but how could he dare to harden the power of the old village chief?

Hurriedly apologized again and again:

"Uncle Lu, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong......"

As he spoke, he had already thrown the hatchet aside.

"Hmph."

The old village chief didn't even look at Hou Wu, and said directly to everyone:

"What's going on?!"

The dynasty 'imperial power does not go to the countryside'.

The founding foundation of the Daqian Dynasty was to 'share the world with the gentry of the world'.

Although the old village chief is not a gentry, his influence in this Quanzi Village is by no means covered.

At this time.

Even if Xue An and this official send Ma Ye, they have to give the old village chief three points of face.

Xue An hurriedly laughed with him and recounted the matter with more fuel and vinegar.

The official sent Ma Ye and added with a smile beside him.

The old village chief frowned, and couldn't help but look at Li Yuanjing.

Others are old and sophisticated, and they naturally understand the situation at this time.

In front of him, he can protect Li Yuanjing for a while, but he can never protect Li Yuanjing I.

Speaking of heads.

This matter still has to be solved by Li Yuanjing himself.

Li Yuanjing saw that there were already many villagers watching the excitement outside, and smiled at the old village chief:

"Old village chief, I still say that. I'm fine with paying my autumn tax today. However, Wang Cuihua, the woman and Hou Wu, must also be handed over today! ”

"Otherwise!"

"I'm afraid this won't convince the public!"

The surrounding villagers are not stupid, and at this time, they naturally see that these people are targeting Li Yuanjing, after all, the practice is that the rich households pay first, and the autumn tax is also directly related to their vital interests, so they can't help but speak out.

"That's right, why did you let Li Shusheng pay it first, but Hou Wu and Wang Cuihua didn't pay it? What kind of truth is this? ”

"That's it, such a disposal method, I don't accept it!"

"I'm not convinced!"

Seeing that the emotions of the surrounding villagers were about to be brought up, and there were some signs of loss of control, the old village chief hurriedly said to Xue An and Ma Ye:

"Two masters, if you don't deal with this matter today, I'm afraid there will be a mess......"

"This ......"

Xue An didn't care, but the cold sweat on Ma Ye's face began to seep out.

Since ancient times, what has the government feared the most?

First and foremost is 'gathering the crowd'!

No matter what words are added to the end of this 'gathering', it seems that an ordinary soapman can bear it.

Ma Ye immediately glared at Xue An viciously, and said in a dark voice:

"Third housekeeper, don't you let these two sloppy goods also pay the autumn tax today?! Otherwise, in case something goes wrong, how many skulls do you have enough to chop? ”

Seeing Ma Ye so cold, Xue An was also a little panicked.

Although he is the third housekeeper of the Xue family, he looks at five people and six people on weekdays, but he understands very well that it is because he is a useful dog who can make money for his master.

If at this time, instead of making money and benefits, he has provoked such a big . Trouble –

If you think about it with your ass, you can know that Xue Dashan is afraid that he will have to skin his dog alive.

Busy and cold to Wang Cuihua and Hou Wudao:

"You two, pay the autumn tax today!"

"This ......"

Wang Cuihua and Hou Wudeng were speechless.

How could you have thought of it.

If this fire is brought to them, it will be brought to them.

This dog surnamed Li is poor and sour and poisonous.

Wang Cuihua is a matchmaker after all.

Compared with ordinary rural people, she is a capable person, and although the autumn tax of nearly one or two silver is a lot for her, it is not unbearable.

Busy glancing at Hou Wu.

Hou Wu is much more virtual than Wang Cuihua.

He had stolen the autumn tax money from his mother-in-law Xiugu before, and he had already spent it cleanly in the gambling house and kiln opened by Xue Dashan in the town.

But.

Seeing Li Yuanjing, who was weak not far away, Hou Wu suddenly found confidence again.

Even his Hou Wuye couldn't make up the money for this autumn tax for a while, Li Yuanjing was a poor and sour scholar, how could he afford it?

Immediately sneered:

"Good!"

"No problem!"

"The surname is Li, as long as you are poor and sour and pay the autumn tax today, I will pay it immediately!"

Wang Cuihua also hurriedly said:

"Li Yuanjing, as long as you pay it, my mother will also pay it immediately."

Seeing that the situation was finally under control, Ma Ye and Xue An were both slightly relieved.

Ma Yepi looked at Li Yuanjing with a smile and said:

"Li Shusheng, what is the ink? Pay your autumn tax! ”

Li Yuanjing suddenly laughed:

"Master Ma, it's okay for me to hand it over, but if I hand it over and someone can't hand it over, then you have to deal with it impartially."

"After all, so many folks are here watching."

As soon as Li Yuanjing said this, the surrounding villagers suddenly shouted restlessly.

Plainly.

In Quanzi Village, Wang Cuihua and Hou Wu were unhappy, and Li Yuanjing was obviously not the only one.

It's just that for various reasons on weekdays, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.

And at this time.

With Li Yuanjing taking the lead in the front, they naturally didn't mind and added a fire to the back.

Who wouldn't be happy to see Wang Cuihua and Hou Wu deflated?

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Ma Ye glared at Li Yuanjing hatefully and said:

"That's nature!"

"As a court official, I should naturally enforce the law impartially and ask for the people's lives!"

"Ma Ye is mighty!"

Li Yuanjing hurriedly gave a thumbs up to this Ma Ye, and then, he took out about a tael of broken silver and put it in front of everyone and said:

"Everyone, please see, this is my Li Yuanjing's autumn tax this year, Tong Suo is not bullied!"

"This ......"

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Especially at this time, the sunshine of the rising sun is directly reflected on the white silver in Li Yuanjing's hand, which is really a bit dazzling.

Mainly in this era, the common people paid taxes, or paid grain, copper coins, or equivalent objects.

How could anyone have been like Li Yuanjing, who paid money directly and magnificently......

Seeing that everyone had seen the silver, and the heat was almost over, Li Yuanjing handed over the silver to Ma Ye, and said with a smile:

"Master Ma, take a look, is it enough?"

Ma Ye only weighed it, and it was already clear that Li Yuanjing's silver was not only enough, but also surpassed.

He also understood what Li Yuanjing meant, and the extra ones were naturally the benefits of his master.

couldn't help but put on a smiling face at Li Yuanjing in an instant, and gave a thumbs up and praised:

"He is worthy of being a scholar, Li Shusheng is really capable! Everyone has seen that Li Shusheng's autumn tax this year has been paid, and Tong Suo is not bullied! ”

As soon as Ma Ye said this, there was a restless discussion around him.

Who would have thought.

Li Yuanjing, a poor scholar who can't pick his shoulders and can't resist, is the first to pay the autumn tax this year.

And not only these onlookers were dumbfounded, even the jade lady behind Li Yuanjing was dumbfounded.

My brother obviously gave her more than three taels of silver, except for the one or two wages paid to Zhang Kun in advance, the remaining two taels obviously have this year's autumn tax money.

Can......

Where did my brother get the money, and he didn't use the money from her side to pay the autumn tax......

And at this time.

Seeing that Li Yuanjing had paid the tax, the soap official next to him had quickly registered and made a register, and gave Li Yuanjing a receipt to prove that Wang Cuihua and Hou Wu were completely dumbfounded.

Hou Wu couldn't stop shouting at a sharp voice:

"Impossible!"

"It's absolutely impossible!"

"You Li Yuanjing is just a poor and sour goods, how can you have so much silver? This must have been stolen by you! ”

"Official, official, I want to report, report that Li Yuanjing is a thief, his silver is not clean!"

However.

At this time, when everyone saw Hou Wu's appearance, they were completely like they were looking at a fool.

If someone else shouted this kind of thing, maybe there would be some credibility, but Hou Wu, a gangster, shouted it, who would believe it?

Li Yuanjing was really impressed by Hou Wu's IQ at this time, and sneered:

"Hou Wu, it's okay if you scold me, but if you spew blood in front of so many nobles, then I can't tolerate you!"

"My silver is borrowed from my uncle Wang Youdao in Dagou Village, if anyone doesn't believe it, you can go and confront my uncle Wang!"

"And!"

Li Yuanjing said, didn't bother to look at Hou Wu, and respectfully bowed his hand to Ma Ye:

"Master Ma, I've already handed it over, it's their turn, right?"
