Let's say that Zhou You collected the tax grain from Liujia Village, and drove the carriage back to the county seat happily.

It is rare for the tax collection to go so smoothly, and I am naturally happy in my heart.

In the past, collecting taxes was often inevitable.

In particular, this year's tax grain is even more difficult to harvest, because the rain is insufficient, and the harvest in the fields is not good.

Only in Liujia Village, the land resumption was very smooth.

Not only is it easy to make a difference, but it can also get a lot of oil and water.

Noon.

Five wagons rolled into a wooded field.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, he heard two sounds of breaking wind, and two flying arrows fell, which landed in front of the carriage, startling the horses and making the dust fly.

"What's going on?"

Zhou You was slightly angry and roared in the car, "Why stop, hurry up!"

"Sir. Husband, there is ...... There are robbers!"

Several officers jumped out of the carriage in a panic, each with a blade in his hand.

Zhou You got out of the car to take a look, but saw a group of big men popping out on both sides of the woods, all of them mighty and majestic, tall and big, carrying blades such as knives, axes and swords in their hands, looking fierce and vicious, and murderous.

"This ......"

"What are you waiting for...... Who, do you know that we are pulling official cars and carrying tax grain, and if you dare to rob them, it is a great crime to kill your head!"

Zhou You pinched the token on his waist to show his official identity.

Unexpectedly, the robbers did not retreat but advanced, and forced directly near the carriage.

The leader is a fat man in his thirties, with a fat head and big ears, and a trembling body, which is terrifying.

Zhou You is already fat, and this bandit leader is even fatter than him.

"What we robbed is the government!"

"If it's an ordinary family, we're too lazy to do it!"

Hearing this, Zhou You almost fainted, this is a hard stubble.

Ordinary robbers, how dare they rob the car of the government.

"Everyone, everyone, you have something to say!" Zhou You immediately coaxed.

"Less nonsense," the fat man snorted coldly and walked up with a big knife, "If you want to live, leave all your things behind!"

"This ......" Zhou You gritted his teeth and refused to give up, "Big brother, the small one is the tax grain that has just been collected, you have all robbed it, how about the small one...... How do you explain it to the prefectural magistrate?"

"Okay," the fat man raised his big knife and swung it with a sharp blade, "Lao Tzu cut off your head with a knife, and there is no need to explain, how!"

"No! No!"

Zhou You was so frightened that his face turned bloodless and took two steps back.

There are seven or eight people on their side, although they are officials and have blades, they actually have no combat effectiveness, and can only scare the common people.

Looking at the opposite side again, there are more than 20 big men, all of whom are not easy to mess with.

Move your hands like an egg touching a stone.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, everyone understands this truth, Zhou You had to retreat slowly, "Okay! Okay, don't be angry, I'll do it!"

As he spoke, he made a look and hurriedly unloaded the grain on the truck with his subordinates.

Soon, all five wagons of grain were unloaded, and there was not a single grain left.

"Get out!" the fat man was satisfied.

Zhou You and the others dared to stop, drove the empty carriage, and fled quickly.

Fortunately, this group of robbers is not a gang of bandits who kill people without blinking, just to rob food for money.

It's good to be able to save your life.

Zhou You and his entourage fled in embarrassment, and only dared to stop when they ran out of Erli.

"What the is this world, bandits are rampant, even our government dares to rob it!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's ...... It's a big sin for us to lose our tax grain, and the county magistrate must ...... There will definitely be a heavy penalty!"

All of them sighed.

"Hmph," Zhou You's face was even more difficult to see, "Not only is it a heavy punishment, you and I will inevitably be imprisoned!"

The crowd became more and more depressed.

Today is really happy and sad, and unlucky.

Originally, they collected taxes and grain, and they all had oil and water to fish, but now it's good, but it's empty in a blink of an eye.

"Right now, there's only one way. Zhou You gritted his teeth and came up with a countermeasure.

"What's the method?"

"Speak quickly, sir, and I'll do it. The people rejoiced.

Zhou You lowered his voice and said: "Let's insist that we haven't received any tax grain, let's say that the Diao people in Liujia Village resist taxes and refuse to pay, and when the county makes the adults angry, we can't blame it." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up in unison.

I think this method is feasible.

Even if the county order the adults to blame, it is much lighter than throwing food.

"But the villagers of Liujia Village don't have long mouths, so they will definitely not recognize it. A small official said.

"It's okay," Zhou You sneered, "What means can a group of untouchables have to fight you and me?"

"When the time comes, let's make it difficult for him to argue!"

When everyone thought that this was the reason, they all breathed a sigh of relief and had no worries.

......

A few days later.

After paying all the taxes and grains, the villagers thought that they had avoided the catastrophe and happily planted the next season's grain.

In the fields, it was busy again.

The villagers were busy harvesting, plowing, sowing, irrigating.

Besides, the blood beads in Liu Changping's body, after Li Yuanzhao's hard work, have been dissolved by most of them, and only a small part of the strength remains, which is difficult to remove.

However, Li Yuanzhao is confident that it can be melted in seven days at most.

During this period, Liu Changping needs to maintain a peaceful state of mind, and must not be angry, agitated, or killed, otherwise it is likely to fall short and cause the power of the blood bead to grow again.

Liu Changping is a peaceful person, it is not difficult to do this, every day in addition to going to the field, he follows Li Yuanzhao to practice meditation and hone his mind.

Until noon that day, a sudden change occurred.

The villagers were working in the fields when they heard the sound of horses' hooves.

When I looked up, I saw that more than a dozen people were riding tall horses to Liujia Village, and a prisoner cart was pulled behind them.

Looking at the black clothes they were wearing, it was not difficult to identify them as the county officials.

The leader is an old catcher in his forties and fifties, with two sword eyebrows flying obliquely, and his face hanging horizontal flesh, which is intimidating and quite intimidating at first glance.

"Liu Fugui, the village chief of Liujia Village, where is he?"

The old catcher dismounted and stood at the head of the village and shouted.

The villagers knew that something was wrong, and they put down their work and rushed to watch.

Liu Fugui was working in the fields, and he hurried over when he heard the news, after all, he was the village chief and had to bear everything.

When I saw the brigade arresting, I couldn't help but feel worried.

They have already paid the taxes and grain, why did the government suddenly come to the door?

Did something happen?

When he came to the entrance of the village and saw the black prisoner car, Liu Fugui chuckled in his heart, and felt even more uncomfortable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little one is Liu Fugui, dare to ask all the adults to come, what are you doing?"

He stepped forward to salute.

The head catcher glanced at it, took out a portrait and compared it, and said coldly: "By the order of the county commander, please go to the county office!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the prisoner cart.

To put it mildly, it's actually an arrest.

Even a fool can see this.

The faces of the villagers changed drastically, and they shouted one after another.

No one knows what's going on.

Liu Fugui was even more confused, "Dare to ask the adult, the small one is guilty...... What crime have you committed?"

The head catcher waved his hand, "This head catcher only cares about people, regardless of anything else, and when you get to the county hall, you will understand." ”

"Get in the car!"

As he spoke, several captors came up and grabbed Liu Fugui and held him down.

The villagers were naturally unwilling, and surrounded them one after another, shouting "release people".

They even brought in a mess of heavy objects to block the road.

The trappers are not vegetarians, and they draw their sabers to intimidate everyone.

"I'll get in the car! I'll get in the car! Ladies and gentlemen, don't move your weapons!"

Liu Fugui knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and if he fought, it would be the villagers who would suffer.

With that, he got into the prisoner's car.
