After eating breakfast, Lin Qianxing began to practice his martial arts skills.
At present, he has only one martial arts mastery.
That is the "Physical Strength Boxing" that has reached the proficiency level.
This boxing technique itself is not very powerful, and the energy and blood mobilized is also limited. It is much inferior to the martial arts Lin Qianxing once knew.
Its main purpose is to move Qi and blood and keep the body healthy.
After Lin Qianxing practiced and warmed up a little, he began to figure out and try to modify this martial art.
But this is not easy.
Although it seems that the memory of the main world body can still be mobilized, his associative thinking speed has slowed down a lot.
As a result, although Lin Qianxing knew a lot of knowledge, it would take a lot of time to consider whether it was reasonable to make slight modifications, and then practice the judgment to feel the results.
Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Lin Qianxing felt that the physical hardware was too poor.
It takes so long to calculate a result using existing data, which is really rubbish.
Compared to the moment when he directly understood the essence of Taoism in his main world, it was not at the same level.
He was practicing martial arts when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Lin Qianxing frowned slightly, stopped and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a few petty officials in silk clothes standing outside.
The leading clerk bowed to Lin Qianxing and said, "May I ask, but in front of Mayor Lin?"
"It's me, what do you want from me?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"It's like this. The autumn harvest is coming soon. We have been ordered to measure the fields in order to collect the land tax from the townspeople after the harvest. Please also lend us a copy of this year's field book for comparison to avoid mistakes." The official said.
The document came out and he spoke out.
"Why is it so early this year?" Lin Qianxing looked at the document and frowned after realizing it was true.
According to memory, in previous years, officials would be sent to measure the fields and collect land taxes from house to house only one month after the autumn harvest.
The clerk who measured the fields today came obviously almost a month early.
"We don't know, but we are just following orders. If Mayor Lin has any doubts, he can write a letter and ask the county chief." The clerk said.
Lin Qianxing was in a hurry to practice and didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he simply ignored him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get the field book right now."
After saying that, Lin Qianxing turned around and returned to his residence. He came to a cabinet and found the stored field books and copied copies of the field books inside.
There will be some changes every year, such as to whom a certain family's land is sold, or if they lack labor this year and allocate part of it to a certain family to help with farming, etc.
Because the data changes too frequently, under normal circumstances, the townspeople first register with the town mayor, and then they are checked by officials when paying land taxes and reported to the county government. Finally, the data is handed over to the central government for counting by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
All in all, it's very troublesome.
Because of this, if some local officials below have their own ideas, it will be easy for the people to be exploited even more.
This situation is not uncommon in today's era.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many sallow and skinny people on the streets.
As for why the court didn’t care?
Today's emperor is obsessed with cultivating immortality and has little regard for governing the government.
As long as the following people don't rebel, he won't care about it at all.
These thoughts flashed through Lin Qianxing's mind one by one, and at the same time he walked out and handed the field book to the clerk responsible for measuring the land.
Then the clerk left, and Lin Qianxing returned to the yard to practice boxing.
When he got a little hungry after practicing, he started to eat, then continued to practice boxing and continued to eat.
Just cycle through it quickly, accelerating the speed at which you can obtain free attribute points.
At the end of the day, Lin Qianxing directly obtained 1.68 free attribute points, which is quite amazing.
He directly added one of the free attribute points to his body, which increased his longevity a little, and at the same time, his charm also increased a little.
Now Lin Qianxing's longevity has reached more than sixteen years.
A complete escape from the short-lived future.
What seemed like a difficult start at first is no longer a problem at all.
Early the next morning, Lin Qianxing continued to practice as he did the previous day.
However, as soon as he had breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
After Lin Qianxing opened the door, he saw four policemen in protective clothing standing outside the door.
The leader was a tough man about 1.8 meters tall with a steel knife at his waist.
"The mayor of Maplewood Town, right?" The tough man asked Lin Qianxing.
"Who is your Excellency?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Zhao Yu." Zhao Yu took out his gold-plated waist badge and showed it to Lin Qianxing.
The waistband is engraved with the word "sunset", and below it is the word "catching".
This means that the other party is the head catcher in Sunset County, equivalent to half the police chief.
When it comes to power, the other party is still higher than the mayor Lin Qianxing.
Moreover, the opponent's breathing was steady and his posture was also quite particular. At first glance, it seemed that he had some martial arts skills.
Lin Qianxing didn't want to provoke the other party, so he smiled and said: "It turns out to be Capt. Zhao. I wonder what the purpose of Capt. Zhao is here?"
Zhao Yu said: "Yesterday, two officials who came to measure the fields died outside Fenglin Town. Before they went to measure the fields, they seemed to have taken this year's field books from you. We would like to ask Mayor Lin about this.
Are there any clues?"
"Dead?" Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows and said with a puzzled expression: "They took the field records and left. How could I know what happened?"
"Is that so?" Zhao Yu nodded, and then said to Lin Qianxing: "Mayor Lin, the court land tax is of great concern. Is it possible for me to wait until the house is searched?"
Lin Qianxing frowned.
Did Zhao Yu suspect that he had secretly changed the land records and embezzled the townspeople's land, and was he afraid that the officials who came to measure the land would find out and kill him?
This is simply nonsense.
He has been the mayor here for more than thirty years. If he is really serious, it is not difficult to exploit the people to obtain a fortune.
That is to say, in my memory, he didn't care much about mortal things and only thought about cultivation. Otherwise, developing a huge family wouldn't be a problem.
So there is no reason for this suspicion at all.
Then there is something wrong with Zhao Yu.
After thinking about the problem for a moment, Lin Qianxing also wanted to see what the other party meant, so he said: "Please."
"It's very offensive. Please forgive me, Mayor Lin." Zhao Yu nodded.
As soon as the voice fell, he waved his hand and let his detectives enter Lin Qianxing's house and start searching.
Their search was quite civilized, they did not tamper with it randomly, they all appeared to be cautious.
While the few people were walking away, Zhao Yuze had a conversation with Lin Qianxing.
"Mayor Lin, does he know that this year's land tax has increased by another 20%?" Zhao Yu suddenly said.
"I don't know that." Lin Qianxing shook his head.
In his memory, he never cared about these things. He always ignored what was happening outside the window and only focused on his own affairs.
It can be said that he is not qualified for the job of mayor.
But even so, he is still more popular than the mayors and village chiefs of the surrounding villages and towns.
It's not that he did well, but that his peers set him off.
Because he calls himself a cultivator and would never exploit people, nor would he bother to exploit them.
The other mayors will more or less use their power to gain some benefits for themselves.
"Mayor Lin is only focused on cultivation." Zhao Yu said cheerfully.
"Ashamed, I'm getting older and I can't do things well in this town. I plan to resign after this year and live in retirement." Lin Qianxing shook his head.
"Mayor Lin, there is no need to belittle yourself. You are still able to move freely now, and your energy and blood are strong, especially young. I am afraid that you will have no problem being the mayor for another few decades." Zhao Yu praised.
"Where is it?" Lin Qianxing waved his hand and said.
After the two exchanged business blows for a while, a policeman suddenly said: "Boss, I found something."
Zhao Yu and Lin Qianxing stopped chatting, their expressions calmed down, and then they quickly walked to the talking policeman.
Lin Qianxing's expression changed slightly and he quickly followed.
Not long after, the two came to the policeman.
But he saw that the policeman was holding a bloody dagger in his hand.
"The blood stains on this knife are very similar to those of the two Zhangtian envoys. It should be clear by comparing the wounds." The detective said.
"Mayor Lin, how do you explain this?" Zhao Yu looked at Lin Qianxing with deep eyes.
Lin Qianxing had never seen this knife before. He raised his eyebrows and his expression became very strange.
Many things came to mind in an instant.
Framing someone to blame?
But why?
Coveting his property?
What kind of property can he have? He is a bad old man and he doesn't know how to run a business. The money he has is not enough for the county chief to just sway his fingers.
Coveting his secret method of cultivation?
Just kidding!
It is impossible to cultivate without spiritual roots, and he is a low-level monk. Any family with some history in the "Basic Qi-Napping Technique" must have it, and the "Fire-Inducing Technique" he mastered is not as powerful as the flamethrower made by some craftsmen.
"Captain Zhao, you have to be careful. This knife is not mine. It was probably framed by a murderer who killed Zhang Tian's envoy and framed it on me. I am already a hundred years old. Although I can move freely, I still have to kill two people."
Zhangtian envoy, it is obviously impossible!" Lin Qianxing said.
"Yes or no, we can only trouble Mayor Lin to accompany us," Zhao Yu said.
With that said, he motioned to his two subordinates to take out the shackles and tie up Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing's heart tightened.
There is a problem, the problem is too big!
This is the game against him.
"Drink~!"
Lin Qianxing shouted angrily, pushed the two of them two meters away, and turned around to run away.
However, Zhao Yu arrived in front of Lin Qianxing first.
"Mayor Lin, please cooperate with me!!" Zhao Yu said with his right hand on Lin Qianxing's shoulder.
"Cooperate with your mother!" Lin Qianxing said angrily.
While talking, he also attacked Zhao Yu's palm.
However, Zhao Yu just fiddled with it twice with his left hand and deflected all Lin Qianxing's attacks.
There is almost no skill, just faster speed and power.
Lin Qianxing was helpless. His physical attributes were not as good as those of his opponent, and his physical strength was completely crushed.
He found an opportunity, and with a thought in his mind, he made a secret with his right hand, spiritual power surged in his body, and a spark flickered on his fingertips.
Click~!
All five fingers of Lin Qianxing's right hand were pinched off, causing him to have a bitter look on his face.
"Come up here and tie him up!" Zhao Yu said to his subordinates.
Hearing the sound, two detectives stepped forward and bound Lin Qianxing's hands and feet with shackles.
He didn't even spare his mouth, and directly stuffed a piece of cork into his mouth.
Immediately, they carried Lin Qianxing to a carriage and took him away.
On the carriage, Lin Qianxing curled up and did not struggle or waste any energy. He looked very confused.
He had no idea what Zhao Yu meant.
They don’t know what value they have in themselves to deserve them to do this.
He has never offended anyone powerful in his life, and he doesn't have any valuable treasures with him.
Why is he calculating like this?
Lin Qianxing couldn't understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He took a deep breath and began to practice quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qianxing was carried out of the carriage, and what he saw was a wasteland on the outskirts.
Lin Qianxing was carried into a huge cave.
In addition to him, there were several people who were also tied to the mountain wall in the cave, including men and women, old and young. In the middle of the cave was a large cauldron that was being cooked, and there were many people beside it.
of bottles and cans.
At this time, an old man wearing a blue gown walked up to Zhao Yu and said: "This is the immortal root sent by your county chief? Why is it so old? And such a poor immortal root cannot extract much immortal essence at all.
