He wished that all parts of the Great Zhou would be like this.

Qin Xiao didn't even notice it himself, and when he came to Chong County, his mood was inexplicably much better.

Qin Xiao said with emotion:

"Okay, what a good year!"

Xu Mo's autumn harvest ceremony is mainly the collection of taxes after the grain is harvested.

In the tax system of the Great Week, the amount of tax is determined according to the registered household registration and the amount of land owned by each family.

Right now, some officials are maintaining order.

"Line up, don't crowd, pay your taxes one by one."

Chong County has another bumper harvest this year.

The peasants were jubilant and took the initiative to pay their taxes.

It's not at all like in other places, where the people are sad.

Qin Xiao was very satisfied.

He has been to many places and seen countless tax payments, but only the people of Chong County are the most active.

Just when Qin Xiao was happy for the people.

I saw that the first person to pay the tax only paid a little tax.

Qin Xiao's face froze, he was still thinking, probably because this family's harvest was not good, it was an exception.

But the back, the second, the third......

Qin Xiao's face sank.

Half of the families have already paid their taxes.

The taxes that can be collected are not much different from those in other counties.

This scene, Qin Xiao was dumbfounded.

The crops in the rice fields are obviously a good harvest.

Why is there such a small amount of tax?

Qin Xiao kept seeing that the autumn harvest ceremony was coming to an end, but there was still no change.

Qin Xiao's heart was so hot.

He looked at the eldest princess: "These people are not paying the right taxes!" It's obviously a bumper harvest, but it's a tax on ordinary harvests. ”

The eldest princess was also very uneasy, this was really wrong, and when she saw that her father was angry, she couldn't persuade anything.

In ancient times, agriculture was the mainstay, and peasants paid taxes, which was a matter of national capital.

There must be no mistakes.

Following Qin Xiao all the way, the eldest princess originally had a lot of expectations for Xu Mo, but she was disappointed.

Qin Xiao looked at Xu Mo coldly, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this kid was hateful.

It is no wonder that the results of the investigation of the Imperial City Division said that the tax revenue of Chong County was only a few taels higher than that of other counties.

See it with your own eyes.

The big corrupt official Xu Mo even dared to embezzle the imperial grain.

Greedy for money, it can also be said that some things happen for a reason.

But greedy for the emperor's grain, that is definitely the bottom line of Qin Xiao!

However, Qin Xiao now knows in his heart that he must first get the evidence of the crime and then convict Xu Mo.

And it is very likely that Xu Mo is not the only one who is greedy for the emperor's grain.

If that's the case.

Qin Xiao will be even more disappointed.

The more he looked at it, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Qin Xiao snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and simply left.

Of course, he wouldn't give up so well.

He's going to send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly!

Xu Mo also noticed it, and hurriedly called out to him: "Old man, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

Qin Xiao's face tightened, and he didn't care about his departure at all.

Xu Mo shook his head in confusion: "This old man, his temperament is really weird!" ”

"He's coming by himself, and he's going to leave without saying hello."

"Humph! It's completely out of my sights as a dignified county magistrate! ”

Xu Mo nagged in his mouth, but for the sake of the approval of the royal product.

Don't bother with him.

Anyway, Qin Xiao hadn't taken away the fifty pieces of glazed products yet.

Will be back for sure.

Xu Mo didn't take it seriously because of this. As in previous years, he is still vigorously urging the people to pay their taxes quickly.

"It's all good."

"You people, you always waste the time of your official going to Yihong Courtyard to inspect the people's situation."

The people have not been nagged by Xu Mo for a year or two, and they are used to it.

After Qin Xiao walked away, he immediately drank coldly.

"Rush to the nearest Toji immediately."

Dusi is a local military organization in the local province of Dazhou, and when you go there, you have to transfer troops.

The guards under him were really angry when they saw Qin Xiao.

didn't dare to say much, so he turned around and rushed to the nearest Yunzhou Metropolitan Office.

This time!

Qin Xiao is really moving, and he has murderous intentions!

The autumn harvest work is still very heavy, and Xu Mo has been busy saying that it is only over when it gets dark.

Tired Xu Mo's sweat soaked through his clothes.

The people of the yamen and the people were distressed.

Although Xu Mo shouted unceremoniously to the people, he was one by one.

But when it comes to collecting taxes, he doesn't increase taxes, even if it's a bumper harvest.

However, from Xu Mo's point of view, greed has to be greedy, and the common people can't get into his eyes.

I'm about to go back when I'm done.

Xu Mo suddenly reached the ground and shook slightly.

Many people also felt it and screamed in shock: "Oh no, is it an earthquake?!" ”

"Something isn't quite right......"

"What the hell is going on!"

"It seems that the tremors are coming from the south."

When people talk.

A large number of military horses appeared in front of him.

"Officers and soldiers! It's the military horses of Yunzhou that came! ”

"There are so many people, and there are not afraid of thousands! What are they doing in Chongxian? ”

Everyone is wondering.

A large number of soldiers and horses outflanked from all directions and surrounded the field.

Someone rode a horse and held a Mo knife high and shouted, "No one is allowed to go." ”

Immediately frightened the people.

"Master Bing, is there someone who has committed a crime here?"

A Chong County official asked boldly.

The officer and soldier only glared fiercely.

"Less nonsense, all stand up obediently."

Xu Mo already sensed that something was wrong, and asked:

"Who did you dare to come to Chongxian to make trouble?"

Seeing that Xu Mo was wearing an official uniform and putting on an official stand, the man had a cold face and pointed at Xu Mo from afar with a Mo knife:

"You are the county magistrate of Chong County, Xu Mo?"

Xu Mo nodded.

The other party's face sank.

"Tie him up for me!"

Xu Mo sighed in his heart, no, this group of people actually came at him.

The people, who were still trembling with fear, did not dare to squeak like quails.

When they heard that they were going to take down Xu Mo, they all made a noise.

"This soldier, may I ask what is wrong with Lord Xu? Why tie him up? ”

"Make it clear to us, there's no reason to tie people up?"

At this time, the officials of Chong County automatically collectively blocked in front of Xu Mo.

That momentum is no weaker than that of the regular army!

Click!

The officials drew their swords.

"Don't try to move Lord Xu in front of us."

The leading military academy on horseback was shocked by their momentum.

They are the regular army of Yunzhou, and they were actually threatened by a group of county officials.

"The emperor's will, take down Xu Mo!"

"Who dares to resist the decree and doesn't want to live?"

The military school shouted loudly.

"What?!"

Hearing this, the people of Chong County were all dumbfounded.

After all, the emperor's mandate is greater than the sky, and this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Take him away!"

Everyone could only watch as Xu Mo was taken away.

Everyone was wondering, what the hell was going on?

Qin Xiao and his entourage, but after giving the order to arrest Xu Mo, they returned to Beijing directly.

The eldest princess asked, "Father, shall we go back now?" ”
