Yu Zhibo knew the person who called out. He was a famous straightforward man in the village. He only had his old mother and younger brothers and sisters at home. He was so poor that he didn't even have a complete set of clothes.

The onlookers may think about the same as him, but no one will shout it out directly like him.

Brave!

"Who! Stand out."

The shouting was not small, and the tax collector in the middle naturally heard it and stopped his preaching.

The honest man was named Yu Zhigeng. As his name was, he really walked a few steps forward and stood out.

"A mu of land costs 3 cents and silver per acre, and ten mu is 3 taels. Most of the tenants in Yujia Village cannot take it out. Are you trying to force people to death?"

"The tax amount was set by the court, and it was the case in the entire Hebei area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. If you can't take it out, it only means you are lazy and stupid. So what if you are stupid like you, you will force you to death?" The tax collector looked at Yu Zhigeng with contempt and looked at him. The words he said were colder than the wind in the cold winter.

The villagers were excited, but no one dared to stand up and support Yu Zhigeng.

Because everyone has seen too many things that happened next.

"Dog official, since I don't want me to live, I will not let you die well." Yu Zhigeng pulled out a short knife from his back and stabbed him at the tax collector with a blushing face.

Bang!

Yu Zhigeng flew backwards from the crowd, flew five or six meters and rolled to the ground, making a muffled sound.

A tax kid next to the tax collector gently took back his right foot and patted the soil on his feet.

"Hmph, you are not wrong to say that you are stupid. You are really stupid. You dare to attack the imperial officials, you are really looking for death."

Faced with Zhigeng's attack, the tax collector stood still without moving from beginning to end.

Yu Zhibo was not surprised at all when he saw this scene. This was not the first time he had seen this situation.

The officers, soldiers, constables, servants and others who rely on force to make a living are really outrageously strong. Especially the armed personnel with organizational structures within the court are even more powerful.

Yu Zhibo asked Lan Mei if this world is like this.

Lan Mei told him that this was not the case before.

In the past, no matter who it was, he could not escape the law that two fists could not match four hands, but it has been different since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne two years ago. The military force of the government's armed personnel became increasingly powerful.

As a result, the government's exploitation of the people became more and more powerful and more unscrupulous.

Two years ago, the official tax was only 200 yuan per mu, but the increase of 50 yuan per year in the past two years, completely ignoring the lives of the people.

"I want to see if someone is instructing this troublemaker to take him back today."

"How dare you, you dare? There is definitely not. Mr. Liu doesn't know that this person is a famous stubborn person in Yujia Village. He has always been stupid and does not consider the consequences of his work. Mr. Liu, you will not remember the villain, so you can just treat him as a fart." The village chief next to him did not dare to let this matter continue to develop.

If the tax collector named Liu was asked to magnify the trivial matters, the entire Yujia Village would have to be in trouble.

"Oh, you said he was stubborn and said he was straightforward, which means he was right? According to your opinion, you all think the same way?" Liu Taxeng obviously didn't want to leave the matter alone.

"How dare you? Only this Geng Wazi is confused and thinks so. The other people in us are kind, absolutely obey the imperial edicts and guarantee tax payment." The clerk's expression was sincere, his attitude was low, and he was almost kneeling down.

While speaking, Yu Zhigeng had almost recovered.

After being hit so hard, he was not dead. He still struggled to stand up. The physical constitution of ordinary people in this world is not ordinary.

"Don't act anymore. Who doesn't know that you, Mr. Qi, always have to be richer every time you collect taxes. Since you became the chief of your place, 30% of the land in Qiyuli has been in your pocket, so don't pretend to be good people here."

It seems that Yu Zhigeng is really alive and does not care about the life or death of his mother and younger brothers and sisters at home.

But then again, if they really pay taxes according to the rules, their family probably won't be able to survive this year.

"It seems you are really tired of living." Taxun next to Liu Taxun took off the iron chain from his waist and walked towards Yu Zhigeng: "Today I will let you know what disaster is coming from your mouth."

The iron chain in his hand was raised and swung it towards Yu Zhigeng.

Bang.

The chain did not hit Yu Zhigeng, but was held by a strong hand. The tail of the chain was wrapped around his arm, making a series of clamors.

"This is a fool. You don't have to worry about him. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him a lesson when I look back and guarantee that he will walk around you next time he sees you."

The one who blocked the iron chain was Yu Zhihai, the most powerful man in Yujia Village.

"Yu Jiashou, have you decided to make a comeback today?" Liu Taxun led four other tax officials to approach and asked as he looked at Yu Zhihai.

"Mr. Liu, Gengwa is still a child. He has an old mother and a young sister who are sick in bed at home, and a younger brother who is not good at all. Today, he is just a mess. Don't worry, I will pay his taxes and will not make you embarrassed."

"Yu Zhihai, you are the leader of the A, and you have the duty to pay taxes. Even if this kid dies here today, his family's taxes cannot be lost. Do you understand?"

Yu Zhibo saw that the veins on Yu Zhihai's neck were about to burst out, but he finally endured it.

"clear."

The five tax deeds brought by Liu Taxeng were really too strong in combat. Even if Yu Zhihai could block one or two, the remaining three were enough to defeat the young and strong people in the entire Yujia Village.

Moreover, it is not yet a critical moment when he can't survive, and other villagers will not follow him to do things that will lose their heads.

Since ancient times, the people have been like this. They will only endure it again and again until they have to.

But the development of things did not improve due to Yu Zhihai's tolerance.

Taxun Liu obviously came with a "task" today. If you don't give them some (2 tax collectors and 5 tax lie) to get some, wouldn't it be a waste of time today?

"Since you understand, then get out of the way."

This means taking Yu Zhigeng away.

Everyone present knew that Yu Zhigeng could not be taken away, otherwise whatever Liu Taxeng said would be what he said.

He said that Yujia Village had an organized tax resistance, and Yu Zhigeng was a witness in his hands. He was so angry that he could not force his hands to banish his hands?

"It's a hot day, Mr. Liu must be tired and thirsty when he comes from afar. He has a little wine and fresh wild game at home. I hope Mr. Liu can enjoy his face." Yu Zhihai invited with a smile.

Yu Zhibo, standing in the crowd, felt sad when he looked at his stiff smiling face. Such a man who was so upright was forced to be like this.

However, considering that he did this for Yujia Village, he would not have much trouble if he held back.

"Master Liu, am I the one who sent you the drink?" Liu Taxun was unmoved.

Obviously, he just wants money.

Yu Zhihai turned his head and looked at Qi Lichang. The guy smiled like Maitreya Buddha on his face.

He looked at the onlookers again, and everyone did not naturally avoid his gaze.

Liu Taxun Liu's appetite is definitely not enough for him alone.

Without the support of others, even if he deceived Liu Taxeng first and could not afford the money in the end, the result would still be the same.

If several respected elders in the village can stand up and go to their homes with him to "accompany" the guests, today's matter can still be solved by "discussion".

But no one stood up.

It seems that the harsh exploitation of the past two years has emptied everyone.
Chapter completed!
