Eight hundred and seventieth chapters of the country of the underground world
Just as Xuan Li began to start fighting training with Yin Bai and others, Di Xi also integrated into the fishing village called "Haihong". His deeds of killing giant crocodiles and saving children also made Haihong feel that he also killed the giant crocodile and saved the child.
The residents of the village regarded him as a guest of honor.
When they learned that Di Xi had no place to settle down, with the help of the residents, they transformed a dilapidated house into a temporary place, which became Di Xi's place in the underground world.
Di Xi also learned a rough understanding of the situation in the underground world from the residents of Haihong Village.
It turned out that after Haiyaxing encountered a catastrophe of asteroid impact, the original human civilization suffered a catastrophe. Some survivors escaped by luck in this underground hollow.
Unexpectedly, this underground cavity actually has a core similar to the sun, which gives the primitive humans of Haiyaxing a base for development.
So after tens of thousands of years of evolution, the underground people have developed to the level equivalent to the medieval level of the Triad Galaxy.
There are two countries in this underground world, including the country of Sangqi, where Haihong Village is located, and the country of Kingsoft in the west.
The country of Sanzi is rich in resources, but its combat effectiveness is relatively inferior to that of Jinshan Kingdom. The country of Sanzi mainly produces gold and jewelry, but other natural resources are relatively poorer than that of Sanzi Kingdom. Therefore, Jinshan Kingdom often relies on its own powerful forces to attack Sanzi Kingdom, and the border war between the two countries is in full swing.
Continuous.
The place where Haihong Village is located happens to be at the border between the two countries and is often affected by war. Fortunately, a few years ago, the two countries signed a five-year armistice agreement.
"It's a pity that it's the last year of the armistice agreement. Maybe after this year, we will be baptized by war again." Whenever we mention this, the village chief Qian Yao also looked sad.
However, these are not what Di Xi is concerned about. As a person who has migrated from aliens, it is not convenient to interfere in the affairs of this underground world. The most urgent task is to find a few of his lost companions.
Di Xi took out Feng Ying'er's photo from the dimension bag and asked the villagers here. "Have you seen this girl?" Di Xi asked.
"Wow! What a beautiful girl!" "This is like a fairy!" The villagers were also shocked by Feng Ying'er's beauty. But when they really asked if they had seen it, they shook their heads.
"We will remember such a beauty as long as we have seen it." Qian Yao sighed, "It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to meet."
"Brother Di, who is she you?" Amei asked.
"She is my wife, we were separated by accident." Di Xi's words once again made the villagers envious.
"But only such a beauty can be worthy of a hero like Brother Di." Qian Yao said, "By the way, Brother Di, if you want to find someone, I suggest you go to the capital to try your luck."
The capital Qian Yao mentioned is the hometown city about ten kilometers away from Haihongcun. It is the most prosperous city in the underground country.
Di Xi nodded. As the capital of Sangzi Country, I believe he should be able to obtain a lot of information.
"Thank you, Village Chief Qian!" Di Xi said gratefully, "Then I will set off tomorrow!"
"We are going to go to the city to deliver goods tomorrow. Then take Brother Di to come with you!" Tian Jianzhong suggested.
"Then I'll have Brother Tian!"
Just as everyone was talking, a noisy sound suddenly came from the entrance of the village, even mixed with the crying of women and children.
When Qian Yao and others heard this voice, their faces changed drastically.
"What's wrong?" Di Xi also saw that Qian Yao and others seemed to have some hidden secrets.
"It's the tax officer here!" Qian Yao said in a heavy mood.
"Tax officer?"
“
They are all devils who eat people and don’t spit bones.” Tian Jianzhong sighed, “It’s obviously a border truce, but there is still a war tax that needs to be imposed every month. And this tax is too high.”
"That's right, we have to hand over our rations for half a month. And recently, the tax collector has made a lot of taxes. If this continues, we will be overwhelmed!" said other villagers.
"Is that amazing?" Di Xi also frowned, "Then why don't you report to the official?"
"How to sue? Those guys are venting their anger on their nostrils, and the government will not accept it." Qian Yao said helplessly.
"Help! I've killed someone!" A sudden scream suddenly stimulated the nerves of the people inside the house.
"This group of devils!" Qian Yao said angrily, "Let's go and have a look!"
After Qian Yao finished speaking, he led the villagers to the entrance of the village.
Seeing this, Di Xi also pushed the wheelchair and followed them slowly.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people in official uniforms gathered there. These people were fierce and surrounded a woman holding her children. One of them was whipping her hard with a whip.
"Do you pay taxes or pay taxes!" the official shouted while drawing it.
"Sir, stop, please stop!" Qian Yao hurried over to persuade him when he saw this.
The official officer saw that it was Qian Yao, and immediately stopped. "So it's Village Chief Qian!" The official officer said bluntly, "What's wrong? We are doing serious things. What are you asking us to do?"
"Sir, you can't continue to fight!" Qian Yao quickly explained, "This Widow Du is already in a barren house, and she really can't pay the money!"
"If you can't pay it, don't you have to pay it?" said the official coldly, "Do you know that the day when the war with Kingsoft Kingdom is getting closer and closer. How can we support the army without taxes?
The army of Kingsoft Kingdom is invading, and your Haihong Village is the first to be affected!"
"But Master Guancha, look, this newly mourned husband of Widow Du is a soldier in the army!" Tian Jianzhong also stood up and explained, "Logically speaking, he sacrificed his life for the country, and is considered a martyr. According to the laws of the country of Sangzi,
It should be exempted!"
"That's the past!" The official sneered, "From this year, five years after the martyr died, the original family members still need to pay war taxes. Today is exactly the fifth year! Besides, Widow Du, your husband passed away that year.
But I got the pension!"
"But the official accountant, the pension is too small. Apart from my husband's funeral expenses, there is not much left." Widow Du said, "And the family had owed a lot of debts before, so it was not too late to pay it back!
”
"I can't control this!" the official said coldly, "Rules are rules, and laws are laws. If you don't pay taxes today, the suffering of flesh and blood will inevitably be avoided." The official said, shook his whip and said.
.
"Sir, I really have no money. Even if you beat me to death, I can't take it out!" Widow Du said crying.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Isn't the children in your hands worth a lot of money?" The official sneered, "If you sell them to wealthy families as slaves, you might even make a lot of money."
"Abao is the flesh that fell from my body!" Widow Du hugged her son tightly and cried loudly.
"Sir, you can collect taxes when you collect taxes. You can't force others to sell your own flesh and blood!" Qian Yao said angrily.
"Captain Qian, you said lightly, why don't you guys hand it over for her!" The official snorted coldly, "There are a total of 100 gold coins, hurry up!"
"Why do you want so much?" Qian Yao frowned.
"Because this tax is actually
!It was time to collect it very early, and with the delayed payment fee, it was almost the same number." The official said.
"But we can't come up with so many at once!" Tian Jianzhong said embarrassedly.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" The official said, and several people rushed over regardless of the situation, trying to take Abao away from Widow Du.
Seeing this, Qian Yao and the villagers rushed over and fought with the officials.
"Rebellion, you are going to rebel!" The head official was furious, "Catch these people who hinder our tax collection for me, and if there is any resistance, killing me."
"Yes!" With the boss's order, other officials rushed forward, and the iron rods and swords in the book were about to greet the fishermen in Haihong Village.
"Please stop everyone!" At this moment, Di Xi's loud voice shocked the audience.
Even the officials couldn't help but stop.
"Who is talking!" said the head official.
"It's me!" A way was made in the crowd, and Di Xi pushed the wheelchair slowly to the officials.
"I thought it was a disabled person who didn't know him!" the official laughed.
"Who are you?" Di Xi asked calmly.
"You don't even know me?" The official laughed, "My name is Zong Kui, and I am the captain of this tax collection team."
"Captain Zong?"
"That's right?"
"It turns out that it's just a captain." Di Xi's tone suddenly became extremely cold, "A small captain dares to show off his power in front of me?"
Di Xi's sentence also made Zong Kui jumped. "Look at his appearance and his origin is unknown. Is there any background?" Zong Kui also hesitated.
"Are you?" Zong Kui asked tentatively.
"The beast is not worthy of talking to me!" Di Xi did not give Zong Kui any face at all.
"Damn it, you dare to insult me!" Zong Kui was immediately angry, and he shouted, "You guy with unknown origin, don't be shameless! I now suspect that you are a spy from Kingsoft Kingdom. Come on, brothers, please give it to me.
I'll take this disabled person."
"Who dares you?" Qian Yao and others shouted, "How could Brother Di be a spy?"
"If you guys help him, you will be the accomplices of the spy!" Zong Kui shouted.
"You should be in charge of your hat-titling matters." Di Xi sneered. Suddenly, his wrist trembled, and several golden lights flashed, and the officials around Zong Kui fell to the ground one after another.
"What? What magic do you use!" Zong Kui's face changed drastically when he saw this.
"There is no magic? What are you talking about?" Di Xi looked at Zong Kui with an innocent face.
For a moment, Zong Kui didn't know how to answer. He looked at his companion who was lying on the ground and found that he was alone.
"You are ruthless, you actually went against the government. Please wait for me!" Zong Kui said a ruthless word and immediately turned around and left.
"Hahaha, what a thing that bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong!" The fishermen in Haihong Village laughed.
"Thank you, mercy!" Widow Du hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Okay, sister-in-law, please get up quickly!" Di Xi said quickly, "The matter has not been resolved yet, don't worry, thank me."
"Not solved? Didn't you drive Zong Kui and his gang away?" Tian Jianzhong asked curiously.
"Brother Di is right. We beat these people away and did not solve the problem." Qian Yao still looked solemn, "That Zong Kui is just a pawn. The real trouble is the tax collector behind him!"
