After sending the telegram, Zhao Chuanxin erased the traces and recalled Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan asked, "Dao Chief, how many words have you sent?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Oh, it's just ten or eight words." ”

Wang Yuan was dumbfounded, isn't this a special opening of his eyes and talking nonsense? For such a long time, just send ten eight words?

But when he thought of the ocean in his pocket, he said, "Okay, then I'll pay ten words." ”

Zhao Chuanxin got up: "Harm, poor and poor, we all have to be poor and happy." If you are poor, don't mention money. Go first, on credit. ”

Wang Yuan: "......"

I have never seen such a brazen person.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin left the post and telecommunications office, he was pulled aside.

Wang changed his name and said sneakily: "Shopkeeper Zhao, Liangzhou City can no longer organize a grain resistance, the swordsmen I gathered were arrested by the whole city, and the shopkeeper has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, save them......"

Since he was instigated by Zhao Chuanxin to come to Liangzhou City to rebel, Wang changed his name and couldn't eat well and sleep well, and things didn't get done.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin often came to the post and telecommunications office, so he squatted at the door every day, and sure enough, he stayed at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin instinctively wanted to refuse.

He opened his mouth and closed it, his eyes flickered, and then he showed a smile: "They are all anti-feudal heroes, how can they stand by and watch?" Well, we'll see you at the north gate in the early hours of the morning. ”

"Uh......" Wang changed his name and was worried: "Shopkeeper Zhao must come, otherwise we will not recover." ”

Zhao Chuanxin covered his mouth and nose with a square scarf and put on sunglasses. For today there is a storm that blows the sand of the desert everywhere.

When he came to the billboard, he saw a notice posted on it, with a portrait of the king changing his name, and several people beside him.

But the portrait on the wanted notice is only a little similar.

No wonder the king changed his name and was afraid of becoming like that.

It was still early, and Zhao Chuanxin was wandering around the city.

Around Liangzhou, it was particularly dry last year, and there is still no rain this year.

After more than 400 days of continuous drought, there were no grains and no grains, and the source of drinking water was depleted.

Everywhere Zhao Chuanxin went, the people in the city all had chapped lips, regardless of whether they were rich or poor.

The price of food is high, the price is empty, and beggars can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

However, the landlord's family had no surplus food.

Coming to the street corner, Zhao Chuanxin was tripped by a man lying on the side of the road.

The man was kicked and did not react.

The storm gradually increased, and Zhao Chuanxin saw that sand was blown into his nostrils, and this person didn't react at all, so he couldn't help frowning, leaned over to probe his nose, and found that this person was dead.

Tianshang is flying in the desert, but Zhao Chuanxin has opened a dark river well, and the draft is not a problem.

But I didn't expect that it would be like this in Liangzhou City.

As he was walking, a group of people came, and there were patrol officers to help clear the way.

I saw this group of people knocking on the door from house to house.

When they got to the butcher's shop, they said, "It's time to hand over the meat." ”

The man who sold meat held the meat knife tightly: "Official, I just paid the house donation a few days ago, and I haven't slowed down yet......

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to pay the meat, you will pay it quickly!"

The patrol officer was eyeing him from the side, and he had the meaning of handcuffing him if he disobeyed.

The meat seller had a bitter face: "I only sell meat, and I don't slaughter it, but I don't have to slaughter it, how can people live in this world?" ”

Having said that, he still picked and handed over the meat.

They charged door-to-door, and Zhao Chuanxin followed all the way in curiosity.

Salt tax, liquor tax, coal tax, tobacco tax, sugar tax, pawn tax, tooth tax, meat tax (slaughter tax), oil beam mill donation, camel donation, centi gold, head donation, stamp duty, house donation, donation, new tax, rent, advance loan, military flour, foot transport, mule price, ......

Only one street can set up more than 20 names.

Zhao Chuanxin was dumbfounded.

If there are those who resist donations, they will be beaten badly, and the officials at the gate of the yamen will issue a warning of "breaking the house and destroying the door", but they will not arrest people on the spot.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed a passer-by, pointed at the group and asked, "They said that they were going to destroy the family, is this true?" ”

Passers-by spat "Phew": "Then you think there is a fake?" They have a way to make it impossible for you to live. The people in the city can barely bear it, the peasant tenants outside, and the powerful gentry pick up another layer of skin, the Wenjiazhuang is starving everywhere, and there are seven or eight families in the village who die, and there is no food, and everyone competes to eat people in order to survive......"

It's really miserable, but Zhao Chuanxin is no longer the one he just came to, and he is not moved.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the group of people and asked, "Who are those people who collected the money in front of them?" ”

Passers-by said: "Hehe, the man-eating tiger that takes the lead is the governor (magistrate) Mei Shunan, and the person behind the tiger is Wang Zuocai, the chief gentleman in charge of patrol affairs." In other places, such as Yongchang, there are gentlemen Li Tesheng and others, and Wang Buying, the prefect of Liangzhou, is the biggest scourge in Liangzhou...... In Liangzhou, the filthy to the cheap gray dung donation, the most delicate to the micro charcoal, sauce and vinegar donation, down to a chicken, a duck, a sheep and a pig, where the shoulder to carry, daily use of ordinary things, there is no donation, you always can't escape. ”

Zhao Chuanxin listened to the other party's words, looked at the noisy streets, and said in his heart that the king changed his name and was really a strong-mouthed king, so there was no way to incite rebellion?

Instead of angry people, he saw a little bit of explosives that was on fire.

Because in Liangzhou, the heavily armed Mancheng is a key place in the northwest, and it is necessary to deter Xiaoxiao and Japan and Russia, otherwise Zhao Chuanxin would have thought of going into battle to encircle the territory in person.

After all, this is a military key point in the northwest, unlike Ao Island and Hong Kong Island, if Zhao Chuanxin really does something, he will have to deal with Zhao Chuanxin to the end even if the Qing court is bloody.

He inquired for a few more moments before letting the "honest" passerby go.

Then I saw a few sneaky men with long cigarette sticks, passing letters with chicken feathers inserted in them, and hurried away.

Zhao Chuanxin grinned.

Wang changed his name and had a low master, and he couldn't do anything, but it was obvious that Wang was not the only one who was active in Liangzhou.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to wander around the city, asking people for questions from time to time.

These corrupt officials can't stop the mouths of the people, but Zhao Chuanxin knows a lot of things.

But how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?

Finally, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the wind and sand were at its worst, Zhao Chuanxin was also stopped.

Mei Shunan may have returned to the yamen, and the person who stopped Zhao Chuan's salary was Wang Zuocai with two patrol policemen.

Wang Zuocai said: "I know you as an old man, and you have been wandering around the city all day. The monks are not good to stay in the Taoist temple, and since they come out, they must also donate Luli. ”

Good guy, I don't know if he made it up temporarily, or if there really is such a way.

Zhao Chuanxin said "oh", honestly took out his pocket, groped for a long time, took out two copper coins and handed them over: "Give." ”

Wang Zuocai looked at it, and his nose was so crooked: "With such a little money, what about calling it Huazi?" ”

"Okay, why are you still hungry for food?" Zhao Chuanxin said happily.

"You ......" Wang Zuocai was furious.

A person behind him stood up, made King Kong angry, and hurriedly said: "I am Zhang Fulin of the Arrest Department, how dare you offend our chief police gentry?" ”

"Yo...... If you offend a few officials, please forgive me. Listen to the advice of the poor Tao, don't be too arrogant as an official. Zhao Chuanxin seemed to be very scared.

Zhang Fulin sneered: "Who is still an official if you are not angry?" ”

Wang Zuocai snorted: "What nonsense to talk to him?" Arrest and detain first, I suspect that this old Taoist is the old man. ”

The Old Brotherhood, an evolved version of the Brotherhood.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to tease the fools, and then cut them to find a place to wait until midnight.

After listening to Wang Zuocai's words, he had an idea, put his hands behind his back and said, "Do you want to catch the poor road?" Then lead the way. ”
