"Doctor Shi, your town is really peaceful. You haven't even seen a single person."
Mo Hai stood at the entrance of the town and looked at the town. There were dozens of houses in the town, but there was no one there. It was very strange.
Doctor Shi also noticed something unusual, and his expression suddenly became tense.
"No, it must be an official."
Doctor Shi was very nervous, his tone was trembling slightly, and he was very afraid of official duties.
It is not a good thing for people to be afraid of officials.
"Doctor Shi, didn't you say that it's not the day to pay taxes yet?"
Mo Hai asked.
"Yes, but there is no one on the street. Official officials must have arrived."
Doctor Shi looked grave.
"Grandpa, we don't need to be afraid. Didn't Mr. Da just give us the Biyou Fruit?
One biyou fruit can offset the taxes of everyone in our town."
Shi Shan said with confidence that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
"That's right, let's go and take a look."
Doctor Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly remembered something, looked at Mo Hai, and said apologetically: "Mr. Mo, why don't you stay away for a while, and then I'll treat you to lunch after I've sent the official away?"
You are not from our Nanzhao country. If you are found without a pass, you will be in trouble."
"good."
Mo Hai nodded, then jumped onto a leafy tree at the entrance of the town.
Naturally, Mo Hai was too lazy to stir up trouble. There was no need to use force to resolve matters that could be resolved with a Biyou Guo.
Seeing that Mo Hai was so easy to talk to, Doctor Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then led his grandson towards the town.
Mo Hai was leaning on the treetop, deep in thought.
The Nanzhao Kingdom is currently in turmoil and the people are suffering. Mo Hai really has no way to take care of it. In the vast universe, there are thousands of empires in every world. It is impossible for the people of every empire to live and work in peace and contentment, with adequate food and clothing.
Mo Hai has been used to being carefree all his life, so every time he encounters something like this, he can only feel helpless.
Mo Hai also killed many emperors who were dissolute and extravagant, but he often treated the symptoms rather than the root cause. No one could guarantee whether the next emperor would be better. Mo Hai did not have the time to govern an empire.
Mo Hai doesn't want to care about Nanzhao Kingdom's affairs, at least now, he doesn't have time to care about it.
While Mo Haizheng was having complicated thoughts, there was a sudden commotion in the small town.
Mo Hai stretched out his hand and moved a branch that was blocking his view to the side. Although they were more than a mile away, all corners of the town were clearly visible to Mo Hai.
Several officers wearing the lowest-level military uniforms of Nanzhao Kingdom were pushing Doctor Shi. Doctor Shi backed away repeatedly, laughing and begging for mercy.
Those officials were cursing and speaking arrogantly and harshly.
Mo Hai listened carefully and understood the cause and effect.
Originally, one Biyou fruit could send those officials away, but these officials said that this year's taxes would be doubled. In desperation, Doctor Shi had to take out another Biyou fruit. The officials saw that Doctor Shi seemed to have something wrong.
Shaobi Youguo, let Dr. Shi take out all of them. Although this Biyouguo is not worth mentioning in Mo Hai's eyes, in the eyes of these mortals, it is a precious treasure of heaven and earth. These officials want to make some extra money.
Get a few biyou fruits and go back to the city to exchange for some money, enough for them to drink flower wine for a month.
"Old man Shi, hurry up and take out the remaining Biyou fruit, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
An officer said coldly, waving the sword in his hand, which was more ferocious than the tigers in the mountains.
"Dear officials, I went into the mountains this time and narrowly escaped death before picking a few Biyou fruits. I beg you to leave me a way to survive."
Doctor Shi begged.
"I'll say it again, hand over all the Biyou fruits and don't force us to do anything."
The official was aggressive and showed no mercy at all.
In the end, Doctor Shi was forced to hand over the remaining Biyou Fruit unwillingly.
"Dear officials, I have given you all the Biyou fruit. Do we no longer need to pay taxes for next year in Xiawa Town?"
Dr. Shi asked cautiously.
"Old man Shi, what are you thinking about?
The remaining Biyou Fruits are for you to honor our brothers. I tell you, you will get four Biyou Fruits for next year's taxes."
An official sneered.
"Ah, four?
Isn’t this fatal?”
Doctor Shi wanted to cry but had no tears.
"This is the policy from above, do you still dare to disobey it?"
The official sneered.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Doctor Shi quickly lowered his head and said timidly, "Let's talk about next year's matters next year. At least we dodged a disaster this year."
"Okay, brothers, let's go."
The official got the Biyou Fruit and just wanted to go back to the city to drink wine. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these untouchables and left on horseback while talking and laughing.
Originally, the matter was over like this, but when these officials passed the door of an adobe house, they accidentally glanced and saw someone looking at the window.
The leader, the triangular-eyed officer, couldn't help reining in his horse, and the man who was secretly peeking inside the house also quickly retreated into the house.
"come out."
The triangle-eyed official shouted loudly.
"Master, there is no one in the house."
A middle-aged couple standing at the door of the adobe house said quickly.
"Haha, do you think I'm blind?
If you don't come out, we will go in by ourselves and burn your shabby house down, so don't blame me."
The triangle-eyed official said impatiently.
The middle-aged couple was so frightened that they could only call out the person in the room. It turned out to be a girl in coarse clothes. The girl was about the same age as Shishan, and she was thirteen or fourteen years old. On earth,
At such an age, they are naturally not old enough to get married, but in the secret realm of mountains and seas, girls aged thirteen or fourteen can get married.
"What a beautiful little girl. I happen to be short of a maid in my family. Little girl, please follow me into the city."
The triangle-eyed official smiled lewdly.
"Master, this, this can't be done, I only have a daughter..." the middle-aged couple begged, but before they could finish their words, the official with triangular eyes swung out his whip and beat the middle-aged couple's mouths till blood flowed.
.
"Father, mother."
The girl quickly protected her parents.
"You don't know how to appreciate things. Little girl, come with me. From now on, I won't treat you badly if you are a popular person or a spicy drinker."
The triangular-eyed official smiled.
"Even if I die, I won't leave with you."
Unexpectedly, this little girl had a strong temper. She took out a pair of scissors from her sleeve, and then attacked the officer with the triangle eyes.
However, how could a thin girl be the opponent of an official with triangular eyes? He rolled up the scissors in the little girl's hand with a curl of his riding crop.
"Little girl, you were as young as a flower. It's such a pity to die. I really can't bear to kill you. If I give you another chance, will you come with me?"
The triangle-eyed official said with a condescending air.
"Kill me, otherwise I will kill you one day."
The girl raised her head. Although she was scared in her heart, her face still had a look of death.
