"This man said that the people in the county government are making trouble by collecting taxes, and the old man can't handle it. He wants me to bring some skilled people over."
Sun Wuming's face suddenly turned pale.
He had an argument with Mr. Zhang just now and was shut down by Hu Qing and the others.
In fact, these are all trivial matters encountered when going to the countryside to collect taxes.
Tax collectors are always annoying.
No one will take out their money honestly. They always have to find some reasons and conditions to get back their own benefits.
It's like Mr. Zhang said he wanted to compensate him with money.
After all these years, how could an old man ask for thousands of taels of silver back just by opening his mouth?
It's just a deliberate attempt to cause problems, just waiting for the county government to say that it will be offset by taxes.
But when Song Liyun said this, it was different: The tax collectors are making trouble, and they need a few skilled people... for what?
Mr. Zhang's expression also became serious.
If the people do not fight against the officials, even if they want to resist taxes, they must have a reason.
Song Liyun seemed not to be looking at Sun Wuming's face, and continued with a cold snort: "Eating food and paying taxes is a matter of course.
Building bridges and paving roads, paying soldiers, and providing disaster relief all require funds from the court. If citizens don't pay taxes, where will the money come from?
Broken Gold Town is not a place outside the law, so why would you want to go against the imperial tax laws? This person must be deliberately sowing discord."
After she finished speaking, Sun Wuming's face suddenly brightened up: "This is reasonable. The trickles of water gather into the sea. If no one pays taxes, the treasury will be empty. The money to build bridges and roads will be nowhere to be found."
Mr. Zhang's face was filled with anxiety.
Song Liyun didn't know how greedy the tax collectors in Qili County were. As long as they smelled a fishy smell, they would bite a piece of meat. They couldn't just agree to pay taxes easily.
He hurriedly said: "Miss Song, it was the government that abandoned us first. They filled their own pockets and even ate the dead people's money."
Song Liyun's words were not a promise to pay taxes, she was just trying to stabilize Sun Wuming.
Now we can't talk about these bloody feuds, and it's not the time to talk about these things.
She pressed the knife against Yang Kaiquan's neck and said sternly: "What are those people you brought in here for? Where are they?"
Yang Kaiquan was still arguing: "I don't know what you said...ah! Ah!"
Song Liyun dragged the knife in his hand, and blood instantly appeared. Yang Kaiquan screamed like a killing pig: "Killing, killing! Mr. Sun, please help!"
Sun Wuming took four government officials with him. These people could not see Song Liyun committing murder in front of them and remain indifferent.
Before they could come forward, Song Liyun had already sheathed the knife and kicked Yang Kaiquan to the ground: "If you don't tell the truth, I will chop you."
Yang Kaiquan raised his hand and touched his neck. There was only a trace of blood, which had just broken through the skin. Then he came back to his senses and immediately realized: This rouge tiger was scaring him.
He crawled up to Sun Wuming on both hands and feet, hugged the tax collector's calf and said, "Guan Sun, help me!"
Then he turned to look at Song Liyun: "Those people are here to find you. I don't know what happened to you in Tianxiang Tower. Besides, Shopkeeper Mi and others were brought by Sun Guan and have nothing to do with me."
Oops!
When Song Liyun heard that he was here to find him, Song Liyun's head buzzed.
She reported the news to the guard station, but she thought it was rogue bandits from Qili County who had sneaked in.
Now that the other party is coming for me, and considering that Yang Kaiquan wants Han Ming to leave too, then Baolinju must be in danger.
Hong Jingtian said that he would arrest the Song brothers.
Even if he left Han Ming at home, he would be alone, and it would be difficult for him to defeat four with just one fist.
At this time, Hu Qing and others had already gone to help Xue Zhuang, and only a few old people and the tax collector Sun were left in the Broken Gold Guild Hall, staring at each other with big eyes.
Obviously these people were frightened by Song Liyun's actions of wiping his throat with a knife and then kicking him.
Among these people, only people from Suijin Town had seen Song Liyun kick Xue Zhuang's mother-in-law into pieces.
Tax collector Sun had never seen Song Liyun before, let alone such a fierce woman.
I didn’t know what to say, and the scene was a little dull for a while.
The four yamen servants were veterans of the Jiuhun County yamen. As long as Sun Wuming didn't say anything, they didn't react no matter what they heard or saw, and they were always acting like quails.
Song Liyun glared at Yang Kaiquan bitterly: "I'll deal with you, the traitor, when I have time."
After saying that, she turned around and rushed out, secretly swearing in her heart that if anything happened to Xiao An, she would definitely burn down Tianxiang Tower.
At this moment, several horses "trodden" over from the west end of the town.
Behind the horse was a large group of people, including Hu Qing and Xue Zhuang, who also caught a fat, strange, middle-aged man.
The people on the horse saw Song Liyun running wildly on the road from a distance. They dismounted their horses and ran in front of Song Liyun.
"Miss Song, what happened, why are you running?" The man on the horse shouted loudly.
Song Liyun was in a hurry when he heard the familiar voice. When he raised his head, he saw it was his bearded uncle Luo Baihu, with several horses following behind him.
"Master Baihu, hurry up! A thief has come to my house. Xiao An and the others are in danger at home."
When Song Liyun saw that it was Luo Baihu, he was overjoyed and quickly called for help.
"Hmph, these things really don't take my Broken Golden Guard seriously.
My sons, I will attack with all my strength in a moment. Don’t let any of them go. I will capture them all.”
Luo Baihu's eyes spit fire, he slapped the horse's belly, ran past Song Liyun, and rushed straight out of the town.
Behind him, several horses followed closely.
Seeing the soldiers from the guard rushing to Baolinju, Song Liyun felt relieved.
She shouted to the cavalry: "Master Baihu, thank you very much!"
He yelled and started to chase after him.
Later, Xue Zhuang, Hu Qing and others didn't realize what happened.
Hearing her shout, a horse that had run hundreds of meters ahead suddenly turned around nimbly, and under the control of the knight, ran past Song Liyun again in a graceful arc.
Song Liyun, who was running in a hurry, was not prepared at all. He only felt that he was being grabbed by the arm, lifted up and thrown up.
"ah!"
After a half-exclamation, he landed firmly on the horse.
"Hurry up!" came a clear male voice from behind.
Hearing this sound, Song Liyun's heart almost stopped.
She turned around sharply and saw a handsome face right in front of her, with eyebrows like distant mountains, a nose like hanging gallbladders, and dark eyes under long eyelashes.
Although the dough is a little darker than the last time I saw it, it also has a more masculine flavor, just like delicious chocolate.
When Zhao Tingduo saw Song Liyun looking at him in shock, he immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Follow the authority first and save people first. If you are rude to the girl, the girl won't care about these little details!"
Zhao Tingduo really wanted to save people quickly. When he saw Song Liyun running alone, he just took his horse with him. Only then did he feel that something was wrong.
Although Lei Baihu once said that this girl is not an ordinary girl, she is heroic and generous in her work, and she acts like a big brother to the sergeants in the camp, without any coy girlishness.
But after all, she was a girl from the Wu Dynasty, and she was no more open-minded than the grassland. If someone gossiped and ruined her reputation, someone would be killed.
Song Liyun saw clearly that the person who wanted to take him for a ride was actually the "handsome little soldier" whom he hadn't seen for many months, and his heart suddenly swayed.
It was just that the situation at home was unclear. Although she was so surprised, she didn't have much thoughts. She only said: "I know that my brother is helping me, and I am very grateful."
The situation was urgent at this time, and the two of them had nothing to say.
Baolinju is two miles outside the town, and a horse can gallop in only a few dozen breaths.
I can’t write the emotional line well, and I’m so embarrassed. It’s better to have a career than to fall in love. From now on, everyone will look at it as an extra partner (show hands)
