Chapter 1408 - It's All In-laws
But seeing the rich gentleman next to the deputy chief minister, he smiled: "You are afraid of checking accounts all day long, where are there so many people who check accounts? Do you have to force everyone to burn down the warehouse before he is satisfied? This time I want to rectify the duke." He asks us to pay for it every year in the name of military quartermasters, and we are not allowed to go to his place to do business. But on his turf, he found a bunch of reasons to block it. We managed to scrape together some money to buy land, but we almost got cheated by him! He is a stinking and hard rotten stone! This time he must be rectified! So I came to my in-laws to discuss. β
His in-laws, that is, the deputy chief of the tax officer, nodded and said: "He also spoke to the Sun King several times, saying bad things about our side, making it difficult for everyone to be a person." I heard that he also wants to extend his jurisdiction to our side in the name of suppressing bandits and fighting against snake people. If you don't give him some color, he won't shrink back! Isn't he here to buy grain? Why do you want to raise the price of grain? Just to make the people in the city dissatisfied, and when the duke's grain ship comes, hum, he will say that he did it, and let the people who don't know the truth make trouble for him! It's better to make a big deal about it!!"
"Oh~~~" The boss suddenly realized: "I said how to notify us to rise so high this time." You've already figured it out. Oh, why didn't you tell us earlier? Why are you avoiding me for a secret meeting? Speaking of which, we are all in-laws, so why are we still in-laws?"
The tax collectors, grain merchants, and other merchants all formed kinship, and they were all related to each other. Of course. The same is true of other officials. The deputy chief of the tax officer replied: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to control your mouth and leak the news! Anyway, we are all in-laws, and we won't let you suffer." This time, I will send five teams of people over, bring the best equipment, and I will definitely catch all the rats that destroy the overall situation!"
Four days later, a dozen or so clippers carrying heavily armed tax collectors and law enforcement teams armed with swords, shields, and even magic staffs, erected large banners of magic blessing and golden light, and slaughtered the improvised docks ten miles outside the city. This time, everyone from afar saw it and dispersed in a hurry - no one dared to directly confront the officials under the Sun King's banner.
Even Ponuuk and the country hunters didn't have the guts. They hurriedly rowed away all the grain boats they could, completely abandoning the improvised docks and trading bazaars. Only Ponuuk and two high-ranking mid-level rangers were left to hide in the tall grass and observe the scene of their shop being violently smashed and completely destroyed.
The two rangers were annoyed and didn't dare to be presumptuous with the Sun King's people. One by one, he was long-winded: "What can I do about this? What will I do in the future? Such a good business can only be abandoned??It's really unlucky~~~" The Sun King's army and the accompanying Luo Church swept away the disobedient village back then, and I still remember it vividly, so I can only watch helplessly.
Only Bonouk was still thinking of evil ideas: "What are you afraid of! They are moving our food, hum~~~ so greedy! I'm going to come to the dark!, call back all the people I can summon!" Just as the two of them burrowed into the grass to gather men. The brigade of tax collectors in the distance also gained a lot. The looted grain filled their ships, making them all laugh: "There is wine again." Hahaha~~~ Notify the shops in the city as soon as possible to pay for the food! Also, hurry up and arrange a banquet. I want the best head brand of the Rose House to come out and perform. Hahahaha~~~"
The cargo was piled up like a hill on the ship. Coupled with the dense crowd of people on the boat, all the ships were pressed and heavy, the side of the ship was less than a palm away from the water, and some places were creaking, it was really lively like a big market after the harvest. Although the boat moves slowly, everyone is happy in their hearts and everyone is fancy.
Until the water in the middle of the fleet '!!banged', a ~~~ rough giant with a half-story height emerged!!
The giant who was holding a black iron stick and covered in a black mask roared: "This is my territory, dare not pay the passage money??? bully our aquatic giants? Eat a stick!!" said the big stick as thick as a telephone pole in his hand, with a terrifying 'woo~~~' wind, smashed into the ship with the largest number of people!
Before the tax collectors could figure out what was going on with the 'aquatic giant', the powerful stick smashed a ship, throwing half a boatload of people and a large amount of grain into the waves! When the people on the boat around him screamed in amazement, cast spells, and took up their bows and arrows to kill the damned giant, they suddenly saw him 'coax~~~' into the water like a lightning bolt, like a swimming fish, and disappeared in an instant!!!
Just when everyone on the boat was staring nervously at the underwater, suddenly the water on the right side of the fleet 'bang!!' suddenly opened, and the rolling waves were like heavyweight chariots, and the giants just now swung their sticks and struck! Hu~~~ The heavy stick was like a strong wind overturning another boat, and then before everyone reacted, he made a noise and instantly dived into the water under the tuft of the waves, and the water from the left side of the fleet slammed out, and it was like a few sticks like thunder, and several boats were overturned on their backs! As the screaming crowd turned their target, he instantly entered the water again and disappeared. It really comes and goes like electricity, like a water demon in the world!
It turned out that Dong Hezi also explained to Bonuk the derivative ability of the Cloud Body Flying Technique - converting the qi element into the water element, and supporting people to fight in the water. Bonuuk was in the field, and he also knew the role of waterways, and he knew the huge difference between fighting in the water and fighting on the road, so he learned it head-on. Although I didn't learn well, I finally achieved something. Nowadays, it can not only rush out of the water in an instant, but also be pulled off the water in an instant, and can quietly sneak under the water like a swimming fish, which can be described as a sharp weapon for water stations!
However, his giant transformation is the development of his 'ferocious form', and he strives to evolve from the original large to the super-large. But the practice is not very good, and now I can only barely get close to the super large, and I can't support it anymore. At that moment, he rolled up the water element around his body, like an underwater speedboat rushing upward, and it was a stick to the bottom of a ship!
'Bang!!' The big boat on the water shook violently, and then it shook violently, and it was like a fast-stepping building block on the top of the underwater stick, and the big bags of grain, armored warriors, and low-level mages on it all screamed and fell into the water. Then they were greeted underwater by dozens of large pikes that appeared out of nowhere, and these things were as big as people, and they opened their mouths full of sharp nails and long teeth, and they gnawed and tore indiscriminately! Those who fell into the water were either tired by armor, or they could not use their hands and feet, and they were bitten all over their bodies in an instant.
Fortunately, Ponuok had told the rangers who summoned the ferocious pikes that they were only allowed to injure but not to die, and that they were only allowed to teach a lesson, and that no one could be killed. lest the two sides stumble. Only then did the man who fell into the water survive, and after being hastily salvaged by a few ships that were still intact, everyone left in panic, and no one cared about the 'aquatic giant' who was missing.

In the city, large groups of people in the streets kept gathering in the direction of the docks, causing a lot of commotion. When Cindell and the others went out to inquire about the situation, they only heard people say: "There is an accident on the other side of the river, saying that there is a fight, and they are all throwing stones at them." "Sundale thought it was Bonuk and they were caught and being stoned. While a little schadenfreude, he was in a hurry to bring people over. But I only saw that there was only a neatly decorated official grain ship on the river channel in the city that was gradually narrowing.
Fortunately, it wasn't Ponuk and them, and when they were taking a breath, they saw that some citizens on the river bank were making louder noises, and even began to pick up the big and small pebbles on the river beach and smash a boat in the river, igniting the feelings of the surrounding citizens in the throwing and scolding, and they also threw them up. The longhouse ship carved with elegant patterns was smashed into thousands of holes, and the doors and windows were all broken!
"What kind of corrupt official has provoked such a lot of public anger?" asked Xiandale curiously, and the answer he got was: "It's the officials and soldiers who came from other places to transport grain." As soon as these people came, the price of food here rose sharply, and everyone was killed. They deserve to be beaten! They should never come again!"
Xiandale knew a little bit of the inside story, and was about to say: It is better to increase the price of food than to lose the life of the bandits. I saw that the boats in the river began to retreat voluntarily, preparing to withdraw from the city. But when retreating, I had to pass by an arch bridge, and there were a lot of people gathered on the bridge, and I don't know who started to agitate, and suddenly the people on the bridge also began to throw stones, and I don't know where to get some large stones, and there are even big bluestones bigger than two or three bricks to go down~~~ Dizzy!! He actually smashed directly on the hull! He is not afraid of death?!
Suddenly, the big bluestone smashed through the roof of the elegant longhouse ship and fell heavily inside. This time, the people in the longhouse boat were finally enraged, and several arcane soldiers armed with shields and short swords poured out, standing on the side of the boat and shouting at the people on the shore: "Dare to attack the official army grain ship, have you eaten the leopard's gall?"
The townspeople did stop for a moment, but then a voice in the crowd stirred up: "What kind of grain ship? They are reselling and buying boats! They are using public money to make a fool of themselves! They have killed us! We are justified in making a big deal and bringing it to the Sun King! When the time comes, let the Sun King check their accounts and expose them for being greedy, corrupt, and corrupt!
The crowd was in high spirits, and the Sun King must have supported us! So everyone picked up the stones and threw them at them like a hailstorm. Xiandale who watched it was dumbfounded: It's too bold to do this, isn't it? These people draw conclusions and make trouble without figuring it out~~~ This is what the master said: Is there no lower limit to collective IQ?
As he was talking, he saw an even more astonishing scene on the big arched bridgeβseveral men lifted four or five brick-sized bluestones and threw them at the longhouse boat below! Haha, do you have the guts, do you have the guts of this dog?" and slammed it down as he spoke! Xiandale who watched it was shocked: I'm really not afraid of causing trouble?!!
