"Hiss~" The man bared his teeth in pain, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to cover the bleeding forehead wound.

It's just that the lowered head concealed his gloomy and angry eyes flashing past.

"You like to play with handsome and handsome men, so I can't bear it, you actually stretched out your hand to the barracks, there are all recruits who have come to join the army, not young men who you can play with at will.

How dare you act recklessly, drug people to stun them secretly, and kidnap them out of the new barracks, and now you have played people to death, what are you going to do?
I really regret that you, a little bastard, were born to collect debts from me. "

Looking at Zhao Jingan with gloomy eyes, Zhao Jingan's son, Zhao Kui, trembled in fear, as if he was greatly frightened.

Standing there with his body shrunk, obediently listening to the training, as for what he thinks in his heart, only he knows.

On the other side, An Chuxia and Jiang Zhirou, the magistrate, followed the line of Yuehua Town to pull out the county magistrate who was in collusion with the bandits.

After dealing with these county magistrates, Jiang Zhirou had to slap her ass and leave because of official business. Before leaving, she said that she would not report it for the time being, and asked the court to send someone to take over the post of magistrate of Zhushan County, and then throw away the mess of Zhushan County Handed over to An Chuxia.

An Chuxia looked at this remote small county that was exploited and oppressed by the former corrupt officials.

The streets are bustling and bustling, and they are extremely depressed. The shops on both sides of the street are quiet, the streets and alleys are bustling and noisy, and there are not many people in the alleys. Occasionally, the voices of adults scolding children can be heard.

The lives of the people living in the county are so lonely. It is conceivable that the people outside have been squeezed out of their muscles and bone marrow by these corrupt officials and the unrestrained increase in taxes.

On this day, An Chuxia took Lanyue and his elder brother An Jinchen, who had just returned from vacation before going to the battlefield, and headed out of the city in a carriage driven by Han Moran.

On this day, An Chuxia took Lanyue through many towns and villages, and saw many passing by them, pressing down on her body like lead, bending her back, crushing her heart, her eyes were stained gray and lost their luster , like walking dead, skinny people.

They were wearing badly torn and ragged clothes. When they saw An Chuxia and the others, they gave a numb glance, and then dragged their children away in a hurry.

It was the first time that Lanyue saw so many people who were exploited by corrupt officials and lived such a miserable life.

She had also heard about how corrupt officials in dramas oppressed the people by increasing all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, making it difficult for the people to live.

But I never thought of the real scene, which is so shocking.

A few children hid in a hidden place curiously, watching An Chuxia and Lanyue secretly. In their eyes, people who wore unpatched clothes and could ride a carriage were nobles.

Little did they know that the envy in their eyes deeply hurt Lanyue's heart, looking at the few skinny children hiding in the corner.

In the southern winter, in such a humid and cold weather, I was only wearing a thin coat and shoes with torn hems, and I could vaguely see red and swollen chilblains on my feet.

Looking up at the low, dilapidated houses with air leaks in the village, as well as the people passing by in a hurry, I saw them panicking and hiding in the houses, afraid to come out.

I'm afraid these people regard them as those who can exploit their lives and property at will, that's why they are so panicked and avoid them in fear.

At noon, An Chuxia randomly walked into the door of a family and knocked on the dilapidated fence door. The family saw An Chuxia and the others standing at the door.

Although I was scared in my heart, I didn't dare not to come out. Finally, an old man with trembling legs came out, and opened the fence gate with trembling hands.

With a trembling voice, he said: "A few...several nobles, I...our family has nothing, please...please..."

Speaking of this, the skinny old man knelt down with a plop, "I would like to ask some nobles to spare our family.

Our family has handed over all the grain we harvested this year, and we can't afford anything to pay the sun-bathing tax allocated by the government some time ago. "

The old man wept bitterly, and said with a "wow": "The old man's family really didn't have it these days, and they went out to bask in the sun when the sun was shining during the day.

Please raise your hands high and spare the old man's family. The old man's family really can't afford to pay the tax for the sun. "

An Chuxia froze for a moment. She knew that the officials in Zhushan County oppressed the common people and collected all kinds of exorbitant taxes under clever pretexts, such as tax on shoes and tax on bare feet.

This is really the biggest joke in the world.

It seems that just chopping off the heads of the county magistrate and the county magistrate is still relentless, and all the corrupt officials in Zhushan County should be sent to the guillotine, so as to be worthy of the people in this county who have been oppressed for a long time.

Lanyue also looked at the old man kneeling on the ground in shock. It was the first time she heard that she had to pay taxes to bask in the sun.

After reacting, at such a young age, her eyes were as bright as cold stars and as cold as frost. At this time, she exuded the aloof aura of being a member of the royal family, which made people dare not look at her closely.

"Teacher, I swear alone that one day, I will return the common people to a bright future!"

An Chuxia looked at Lanyue with firm eyes and a beginning to show the domineering prince. After casting admiring eyes, she walked up to the old man and reached out to help him up.

"Elders don't need to panic, we just passed by here, wanting to ask for a bite to eat."

Hearing their accents, the old man was indeed not from the local area. Although he was still a little apprehensive, he believed An Chuxia's words.

Looking up carefully, he saw that there were only four of them. He went back tremblingly and took four pieces of black and gray pancakes, and handed them carefully to An Chuxia who was standing at the door.

"At home, there is this kind of pancake made of black flour mixed with sun-dried wild vegetables. Please invite a few noble people, don't be disgusted."

An Chuxia originally wanted to bring the little girl Lanyue out to see all kinds of things in the world. After she really sits on the throne one day, she should not only know that she is being enjoyed by everyone, but does not know the suffering of the people.

"Thank you old man, my belly is rumbling, it is good to have food to satisfy my hunger, how dare I dislike food that is not suitable for my stomach."

An Chuxia took out a five-liang silver ingot and put it in the palm of the old man's hand, "This is money for pancakes, the old man must accept it."

"This... this... this, this, this~" The old man saw the silver in his hand, and was speechless for a while.

He hasn't seen silver for many years. In fact, most of the people buy and sell goods with copper plates, and silver is rare.

What's more, they are remote here, they are poor in material, and they have encountered corrupt officials. These years have become more and more difficult. The people are running around every day for food and clothing.
