"Zhu Zi! Damn!" Hearing Sankui's merciless mockery, his face turned red and his lungs almost burst into anger!

However, Zhang Qi was still angry, but Zhang Qi had not lost his mind yet. He glanced at Zhang Ran who was beside him without a trace. Seeing that the other party was still calm and calm, he looked like he was sure to win, Zhang Qi couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and said in a secret way: "Is there really someone behind this guy? Or are they still in touch with the noble man from Chang'an City?"

When Zhang Qi thought of the news about Zhang Ran and the Chang'an nobleman who heard from the old stonemason last time, he couldn't help but feel fear.

At this moment, he really believed that if he dared to take action, the other party would have certain ability and could take revenge.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi couldn't help feeling a little upset. Before coming, he only thought about the Zhang Ran family's land and houses being out of order, and wanted to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, and let out a sigh of anger, but he ignored the fact that his family also had land and houses being out of order.

However, in fact, Zhang Qi cannot be blamed for being forgetful. After all, his house has been built for many years. Zhang Qi has become accustomed to living since he was a child, so he didn't think about this for a while.

What's more, the so-called military meritorious lords, land and houses system has almost died in name only. Although the court has laws in this regard, it is basically useless and no one cares about it anymore.

The so-called "land and houses" are not only Zhang Qi's family have been doing this, but the same is true for other landlords and powerful people in the world. No one takes the so-called "land and houses" seriously.

After all, the Han Dynasty has been in its rise for more than seventy years, and the land and house system of the military meritorious Lords inherited from Qin has been almost destroyed. Even the emperors of the Han Dynasty have been powerless in this regard.

For example, after Emperor Liu Che ascended the throne, he sent governors to inspect the local area to the thirteen prefectures in the world. The governor's duty was to "conduct six prefectures according to the order of the emperor". The first of these was to ask "strong rulers and tyrants, land and houses exceeded the system, bully the weak with strong people, and use the masses to storm the few". The purpose was to restrict local gentry from annexing land and oppose their rampant storm in the villages.

But at this time, land annexation has become a trend, and it is difficult to effectively curb the governor system itself alone. Moreover, the relationship between local tyrants is complex, like a big net, and it is not so easy to shake.

But Liu Che is also a ruthless person. Since the problem cannot be solved, then the person who caused the problem will be solved! So the emperor Liu Che released the cruel officials and gave them many privileges. He used the cruel officials to kill the local strong people and the powerful people in the local area, so he barely curbed the peak period of this wave of land annexation...

But this is just a matter of promoting the fire. Although cruel officials have suppressed the speed of land annexation to a certain extent, they have not been able to overcome the system of land and houses and dominate the tyrants.

After Liu Che's death, the emperors in later generations were not as ruthless as his and strong position, and they could not curb the growth of powerful landlords. By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the powerful landlords had actually mastered the lifeline of the Han Empire. From then on, it was difficult for poor families to have noble sons, and the affairs of common officials and ministers disappeared from then on. As powerful as Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he could only rely on the aristocratic families to pacify the world.

Therefore, even Zhang Qi himself now just regards the "land and house over-the-counter" as an excuse to rectify Zhang Ran's family!

However, it is very easy to use this "land and house over-the-counter" thing to control ordinary people, but it is difficult to catch Zhang Ran's words.

The situation in front of him was a little bad, and Zhang Qi was also undecided. Zhang Miao, who was beside him, couldn't help but lean into Zhang Qi's ear and whispered: "Brother Qi, Zhang Ran and the others obviously have some support behind their backs. Don't be irritated! This time I can't deal with them and there is another time. Anyway, they live here, and they can't run away even if they want to, so why bother to hurry!"

The situation is now very obvious. The other party has made a clear attitude. As long as Zhang Qi dares to take action, it will be a death-death battle. No one can think of it... He, is it necessary to fight against a clay pot like Zhang Sankui?

Although it feels a bit uncomfortable if you steal chickens but lose rice, it is better than really making things worse and going home to get beaten. So, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Qi finally chose to follow his brother's advice...

"Hmph~" So Zhang Qi snorted coldly, glared at Sankui fiercely, then turned to Zhang Ran and said, "Zhang Ran, don't rely on your little relationship with the nobles in Chang'an City to do whatever you want. This time you are lucky, but it may not be the case next time!"

"Let's go!" As he said that, Zhang Qi shook his sleeves and turned around and said, "Go to the next house to continue collecting taxes!"

At this moment, Zhang Ran suddenly spoke, "Qijun, I would like to advise you not to think that you can do whatever you want if you have a little power on hand. Be careful that one day you shouldn't mess with someone you shouldn't mess with. I'm afraid even you, Ah Weng, won't be able to save you!"

Zhang Qi paused and said without looking back: "Hmph! You should care more about yourself!"

......

Looking at the gradually disappearing backs of Zhang Qi and others, Sankui said in confusion: "Brother Ran, did this guy Zhang Qi retreat like this? Is this too simple?"

"Simple? That may not be!"

Zhang Ran sneered first, then explained to Sankui in thought: "Sankui, think about it carefully. When Zhang Qi entered the door, he told us that he was the government who collected taxes. Then, during the tax collection process, he also looked official and had no intention of making things difficult for him. This kind of behavior is no different from those officials who enforce the law impartially.

During the incense sticks of tax collection, Zhang Qi made his official voice and made his momentum. In this case, more than 90% of people would subconsciously believe that Zhang Qi and others represented the government and held great power.

Then, he suddenly told you righteously that you have violated the law. And he was not talking nonsense out of thin air. He was acting in accordance with the law, with reasonable evidence, and the evidence was as strong as a mountain...

In this case, isn’t it natural for him to deal with you according to law? If you dare to resist, it would be violent resistance to the law. If the lawsuit ends with Jingzhao Yin, you will be the one who is responsible for the loss!

After this combination of punches, can ordinary people resist it?”

When Sankui heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate and said, "This... shouldn't be able to withstand this?"

"Eighty-mostly I can't stand it! If it were ordinary people or people who didn't understand the situation, they would definitely be obsessed with his words!"

In other words, out of caution, Zhang Ran investigated the situation of Zhang Qi's opponent's family early on, so he could basically understand the situation of Zhang Qi's family, otherwise he might have been fooled by Zhang Qi's routine today!

"This girl is indeed damaged and bad enough! Not a good thing!"

Sankui couldn't help but curse a few times, and then couldn't help but worry, "Brother Ran, this guy Zhang Qi is so vicious. Will he come back and bring more people to revenge us?"

Zhang Ran hesitated and said, "This probably won't be true! After all, their bodies are not clean. If they get into trouble, they will be the ones who suffer even more! I think they shouldn't be so unwise!"

After a pause, Zhang Ran said again: "However, you must be careful. We'd better make more preparations. It's best to tell Zhang Shan and the others about this matter, and be prepared for any trouble!"
