The officials outside were shouting with gongs, and the people in the room couldn't sit still. "What's this called? We lost so much grain, the court didn't care, but now it's here to collect some summer tax? This is to force us to death. Village Zhao slapped the table angrily. He has reported the incident of Gao Liren's fuss to the county for a while, but unfortunately the county government doesn't even have a fart. Now it's going to be taxed, and it's simply not going to make people live.

Village Chief Zhao walked out in a huff, and it happened that those officials also shouted in the village for a while, and they were about to leave the village, and they ran into each other twice. There is a servant who still knows the village chief Zhao, "Old Zhao, it just so happens that you are here, this year the imperial court will add a summer tax, and within ten days, it must be paid." Lao Zhao, you have to be careful about this, otherwise, beware that the county lord will not be able to spare you. The man said menacingly.

Village Chief Zhao endured the anger in his heart and stepped forward to ask, "Zhang Tou'er, didn't the village chiefs of our villages jointly write a letter to the magistrate a while ago?" I don't know what the magistrate of the county said about the frequent grabbing of grain by Gao Li people now? ”

As soon as the official surnamed Zhang heard this, he flicked his sleeves, "The magistrate is so busy, where can he take care of your ideas?" You can do whatever you like, in short, don't delay paying taxes. ”

"What Zhang Tou'er said is true, now that the people's food has been robbed, we can't even fill our stomachs, where do we have the money to pay what taxes? Besides, there was never a summer tax in previous years. It's so difficult this year, and you have to pay summer tax, isn't it a human life? "Village Chief Zhao couldn't help it.

"Hey, you old fellow, you're going crazy today, aren't you? The court wants to collect taxes, and you just pay them in a slippery way, so what do you have to say here? I tell you, if you can't pay this tax in ten days, you will go to jail. The official surnamed Zhang glared at Village Chief Zhao, and moved his hand with the whip, and finally endured not to beat anyone. Get out of here, Lao Tzu has to go to the next village, don't stand in the way of Lao Tzu here. ”

So saying, the men went out.

"Not to mention ten days, even a year, and we can't get any money. Now everyone is starving to death, and they have to pay taxes, which is not for people to live. Village Chief Zhao couldn't hold back a little and said.

"Old immortal, Lao Tzu told you so clearly, you are still making trouble here. Okay, see I don't kill you. As soon as the head heard this, he waved his whip and struck at Village Chief Zhao.

Yun Xue watched it from the side, knowing that this side hit the body of Village Chief Zhao, and the old man was probably more than lucky. She flashed and came to the front of Village Chief Zhao and grabbed the whip. "In broad daylight, as an official, he actually beats the people at will, is there still a royal law?" Yun Xue asked in a loud voice.

"Wang Fa? Lao Tzu is the king's law. Where are you from, little lady, get out of the way happily, otherwise, beware of Lao Tzu pumping your face. The whip in Zhang Tou'er's hand was grabbed by Yun Xue, and he shouted a little annoyed.

Yun Xue is also full of anger, now that life is so difficult, she still has to pay taxes? The imperial court doesn't want the people to live. "Just you? Hmph, borrowing your two hands is not an opponent of my aunt and grandmother. Yun Xue pulled the whip hard, and dragged the official surnamed Zhang in front of him, and then kicked the man far away at once. Get out of here, go back and tell you that bullshit county, no one has paid the summer tax, let him do it himself. provoked his aunt and grandmother, touched his county office in the middle of the night, and lit it with a fire. ”

The previous Wu Shaojin incident, later Shen Hongjun took action, found someone to pretend to be a thief to rob, and set the county government on fire, then Wu Zhixian was directly burned to death in the county office. After his death, many people applauded, and everyone said that the fire was well lit.

Later, the imperial court sent someone to take over the position of the magistrate. Today's magistrate, surnamed Lu, is also a corrupt official.

When those officials saw that Zhang Tou'er had suffered a loss, where they were willing to give up, five or six people came up, and they wanted to catch Yunxue. "Okay, it turned out that you set the fire, and it happened to arrest you back to the case."

At this time, Yun Zhen and Tianfu, as well as the iron pillars, all stepped forward and started to fight with those officials. Those officials who are tyrannical on weekdays, where does anyone dare to provoke them? They are used to being pampered, delicate and expensive, where is the opponent of Yun Zhen and others, and they didn't use it for a few hits, they were beaten and urinated, and they cried hard and called their mothers.

"A few heroes spare their lives, we are also acting according to orders, there is really no way. A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life. Someone pleaded.

Everyone kicked a few more times, and the evil breath in their hearts came out of their hearts, and then stopped.

"Hurry up and get out, go back and tell the magistrate like this, I don't think he can collect any summer tax? Don't think that the common people are easy to bully, and if you are in a hurry, we will go to the county government and let him go around without food. Yun Xue kicked the head again, and then said.

"Aunt and Grandma Xie's grace of not killing, we must say it when we go back, we must say it." At this time, the head was no longer horizontal, reached out and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and nose, turned around and ran out. As soon as he ran, the rest of the servants also ran away.

"Yunxue, you're in trouble this time, the magistrate will definitely look for us to take revenge." Village Chief Zhao said with some concern.

"Grandpa Zhao, these people just owe a beating, and they should have taught them some lessons a long time ago. In this way, Grandpa took the time to call all the village chiefs of these nearby villages together, and the big guy came up with a way. We can't pay this bullshit summer tax, as long as the big guys work together and don't pay it all, I don't believe it, what else can the county government do? This year, the court doesn't care about our life or death, why do we still honestly let them bully? Yun Xue was still a little angry, and her face turned red.

"Yes, Yun Xue is right, we are in this situation, if we don't get it right, we will have no food in winter, and I am afraid that we will all starve when the time comes. Where is the money to pay taxes? This time, we just won't pay it, so let's love it. Some of the villagers also gathered and everyone said in unison.

Village Chief Zhao himself is also angry, how can he not understand what everyone thinks, "Okay, let's come this time, we will come to the horizontal, what kind of tax is this, just don't pay it." Damn, if they dare to come to the village to collect taxes, we will send them out. Anyway, we fought once today, and we won't be afraid to do it again. He shouted.

Everyone should say yes in unison.

Yun Xue saw the scene in front of her, and felt a little uncomfortable, if the court was kind to the people, how could there be the current situation? Since ancient times, the government has forced the people to rebel, and if the court continues to persecute now, I am afraid that everyone will rebel if they don't get it right.

"Okay, let's come back to dinner, we didn't eat much just now." Grandpa Li hurriedly said, and then dragged Village Chief Zhao into the house. And they all went into the house to eat.

It's a pity that after this commotion, everyone didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so after eating a few bites, they left. Village Chief Zhao had something in his heart, so he immediately asked his son to set up a car, and he went to a nearby village to find someone.

After Yun Xue said goodbye to the Li family, she went home. Yun Xue was preoccupied, and she didn't say anything along the way. When she got home, Yunni hurriedly went to fish out the corn in the pot, the corn was already ripe, and some of it was boiled and flowered, which seemed to be very delicious. But everyone has something in their hearts, and no one has the heart to eat. Yunni brought the basin to a shady place, and the province couldn't be worse.

Yun Xue sat on the kang, her mind full of what had just happened. originally thought that as long as the family worked together and worked hard, they would eventually live a good life. But now it seems that this is not the case, as long as you are still at the bottom of this society, you will never be able to live a stable life.

Nowadays, the Koreans are making trouble everywhere, and wars are frequent in the Great Zhou, and bandits are rampant in this vicinity. And those who are in power not only fail to perceive the people's feelings, but instead arbitrarily levy and increase taxes arbitrarily. When will such days come to an end? Why are the lives of ordinary people so miserable?

"Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" Yunni saw that something was wrong with the eldest sister, so she came over and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired, these days, I'm really tired." She was physically and mentally tired, and the predicament in front of her made her a little overwhelmed.

"Eldest sister, you better lie down and rest, I don't think your face is very good." Yunni hurriedly cleaned up and let Yunxue lie down.

Yun Xue closed her eyes, "Big sister, I'll sleep for a while, stay for a while, I'm so tired." ”

Yun Ni came out of the house with Yun Xia in her arms, and Yun Zhen asked, "What's wrong with the eldest sister, I just felt as if the eldest sister was not energetic." Did you just hit that person, was it hurt? ”

Yunni shook her head, "No, the eldest sister's kung fu, beating that person is like playing." She is tired, and in the past two years, the eldest sister has been too tired. Now that it's the same situation again, she may be a little unbearable. ”

"The eldest sister is the sky above our heads, and she is the one who supports our family. In the past two years, without the eldest sister, we have either starved to death or been bullied to death. In front of us, she is the eldest sister and our backbone, and she can only be strong in the face of difficulties. But the eldest sister is only sixteen years old, and she is a child herself, but she has to take care of a large number of our children, how can she not be tired? Yunni said as she shed tears.

"Seeing that our days are getting better and better, and we are getting more and more energetic, but these things have happened again, she must not be able to stand it in her heart. Eldest sister, she is too bitter, and no one can rely on her. We're tired, can we go and talk to the eldest sister, be a coquette, the eldest sister is tired? To whom did she speak? ”
