Chapter 645: Zhentai's countermeasures

When the peasants heard the officer's words, they were also frightened, and they reluctantly set off in line to prepare to set off...... To walk to the lumber yard deep in the Broken Mountains in three days, you have to travel day and night!

The officer immediately ordered the soldiers to disperse around the peasant procession and escort them on their way.

Lu Yi really couldn't stand it, so he dodged out, stopped the team and shouted: "You don't have to go, the mayor of the town government has been removed, and the new decree issued will be abolished immediately!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the officer immediately rushed over, took a quick look at Lu Yi, and angrily reprimanded: "Boy, don't go crazy! Just what you just said, it's already a capital crime!"

Lu Yi did not respond to him, and continued to shout to the farmers: "The new king has come to Xiling Country and decided to exempt the public grain tax for three years, and at the same time return the extra public grain paid this year. ”

The peasants were very simple, and naturally did not doubt them, and were so happy that they were in a stir.

The officers and soldiers were suspicious, and they all stared at Lu Yi.

"Who are you?" the officer looked at Lu Yi in disbelief, his mind constantly guessing.

Lu Yi took out the Imperial Power Beast Talisman from his arms, displayed it in front of the officer, and said, "I am the master of Xiling Country-Lu Yi!"

"What?" the crowd was startled, and the peasants fell to their knees and bowed down.

The officers and soldiers naturally didn't know the authenticity of the beast talisman, but they didn't dare not believe it, if it was true, it would be over if they neglected it.

"Meet the King!" the officer hesitated, but he still led the soldiers to their knees in worship.

Lu Yi glanced at everyone, pretending to be majestic: "Get up, listen to this king!"

After everyone stood up, Lu Yi asked the officer, "What is your name and what is your position?"

The officer replied: "The lowly name is Shan Zhuofei, and he is the public grain supervisor of the town government, and he is responsible for the collection of public grain taxes. ”

Lu Yidao: "Then you tell this king honestly, is the amount of public grain levied reasonable?"

Shan Zhuofei thought for a moment in embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said, "It's very unreasonable...... If the peasants pay the full amount of food, they will starve!"

Lu Yidao: "Then have you reported the situation to the town governor?"

Shan Zhuofei said: "Of course there is, but Lord Zhentai said that it was an order of Generalissimo Kekun, and he must not carry it out, otherwise he will be punished by military law." ”

Lu Yi snorted coldly and said, "Is Zhentai in the town mansion now?"

Shan Zhuofei said: "Zhentai is usually not in the town hall, he built an official residence nearby, and now he should be at home." ”

Lu Yi sneered and said, "It seems that this guy is also a corrupt official...... Quickly send someone to inform him, and quickly go to the town government to accept the punishment!"

Shan Zhuofei said worriedly: "King, Zhentai has military power, in case he resists...... Isn't the king dangerous?"

Lu Yi waved his hand and said, "You just do it, don't care so much." ”

"Yes, King!"

Shan Zhuofei didn't dare to say more, he actually wanted Zhentai to determine Lu Yi's identity, so he immediately called a soldier and told him a few words, and the soldier was ordered to leave in a hurry.

Lu Yi walked straight into the town hall, and Shan Zhuofei hurriedly followed.

The soldiers all lived in the barracks next to the town government, so there were only some office staff in the town government, and they were naturally very surprised when they saw Lu Yi walking in accompanied by Shan Zhuofei, but they all thought that it was someone sent from above, and they didn't dare to ask out loud.

Lu Yi took the initiative to ask, "Which of you is responsible for managing the general account of the town government's revenue and expenditure?"

Everyone immediately misunderstood that Lu Yi was sent by his superiors to check the accounts, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off, and a middle-aged man hurriedly walked out and replied respectfully: "Down is Yu Li, the financial director of the town government, I don't know what the adults command?"

Lu Yi was also not polite, and ordered: "You show me the general account of income and expenditure for the past three years." ”

Yu Li complied, took out a stack of account books, and respectfully held it in front of Lu Yi.

Lu Yi quickly flipped through it, understood it in his heart, and asked: "Director Yu, why is it that the public grain payable to the state is always withheld in 30 percent, and why is it that most of the administrative funds issued by the state every year for the town government cannot be used for specific purposes?"

Yu Li was stunned when he heard this, and said, "My lord, isn't this the acquiescence of Generalissimo Kekun?"

Lu Yi was so angry that he slammed the account book on the desk and said angrily: "It's really dirty, do you take it for granted? The country has been hollowed out by a group of moths, why can you turn a blind eye?"

Yu Li and the other office staff were stunned and didn't understand what was going on at all.

Lu Yi pointed at the crowd and scolded: "Even if you are not corrupt, you are still an accomplice!

Just when everyone was scared into a cold sweat, a group of martial arts soldiers with a strong breath suddenly rushed in outside, and then a domineering man in his fifties strode in.

This man wears a fuchsia official hat and a fuchsia official robe, with rough facial features, tall and strong, black and red complexion, and I don't know what race he is.

Lu Yi subconsciously scanned the other party and found that this guy had the cultivation of the latter stage of the Soul Realm, and his identity was about to come out.

"Meet Lord Zhentai!" everyone hurriedly saluted the man in the official robe.

Zhentai waved his hand, ignored everyone, looked at Lu Yi with unkind eyes, and was secretly surprised in his heart, but said quietly: "I heard that Your Excellency is the new king, forgive your official for being rude, please show the relevant certificates." ”

In fact, this guy has already seen the portrait passed by Yang Xingguo, and basically determined Lu Yi's identity, but he will not admit it anyway, because it means that his good days are over.

Lu Yi sneered and said, "You have been removed, and this king does not need to prove it to you." However, this king wants everyone to know, so as not to deny his master. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yi opened the space of consciousness in his arms and took out the tokens one by one.

"This is the imperial edict of Emperor Yangxingguo. ”

"This is the land rights and territory of the Xiling Kingdom. ”

"This is the Emperor's authorized beast talisman. ”

Lu Yi showed the tokens to everyone at the scene one by one, just hoping that those martial arts soldiers would no longer obey Zhentai's orders.

Sure enough, although the soldiers were still skeptical, at least they didn't dare to stare at Lu Yi with hostile eyes.

However, Zhentai laughed and said, "Boy, don't act again, your things are all fake!

It's okay for you to be swindling, but you shouldn't offend our ancestors, it's really an unforgivable sin!"

"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly take him down and prove the Fa on the spot!"

The soldiers listened to the order and hesitated, but they still did not dare to disobey and rushed to Lu Yi.

Shan Zhuofei saw Duan's eyes from the change in Zhentai's expression, but he believed in Lu Yi's identity even more, and hurriedly shouted: "He is the new king, everyone stop it!"

But the soldiers only paused, and did not stop, and two of them had even reached out to grab Lu Yi.

When Shan Zhuofei saw it, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he knew that Lu Yi could bring changes to this country, and he should never die here!
