God's Taoism is free and easy, starting with taking in the clam girl

Chapter 9 Trouble
Boss Tu, who left Yiyishi Village, was in a very happy mood, humming a brisk unknown tune, and his steps became much lighter.

Yiyishicun is really a treasure land of Fengshui. Since I discovered it a few years ago, my life has become smooth.

Now, Yiyishicun has invited a new God, and he should be the happiest group of people.

After all, starting from this season, the output of a stone village will change from the original 2 copper coins to 4.

And it is a fine copper coin that can be met but not sought.

The high-quality incense copper coin brought not only a change in strength, but also gave him a stepping stone to enter a higher-level circle. Now that this stepping stone has become bigger, he might be able to enter a wider world because of it.

With such a good mood, he came all the way to Qinchun Spring.

Boss Tu stood by the spring, looked at the spring of clear water in Qinchun Spring, and knew that he would definitely not return empty-handed from this trip, and the joy in his heart was even greater.

'This stone village is indeed my blessed land. Even the Qinchun Spring next to it seems to be much richer than the other springs around it. From now on, we must focus on the gods around it. '

"The government's tax collector is here, and the Dragon King here will come out to see you."

At this time, Qinchun Spring was still immersed in laughter and laughter, and had no idea that trouble had come. Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound from the shore, and several happily swimming carp in Qinchun Spring froze as if they had been immobilized at the same time. .

After being stiff for a while, a red and white red carp swam past them, and the carps recovered, like frightened birds scattered.

"It's over, the bully is here!"

"Run, if you run too slowly, you will be caught as grilled fish."

"Mother, I want mother!"

"Grandma, where is grandma, where is grandma?"

In an instant, the swimming fish at the bottom of the spring ran away crying, leaving only one koi still in place, and the Qinchun Spring, which was originally clear to the bottom, was suddenly disturbed.

Seeing his nephews behave like this, Ao Qing couldn't help shaking his head secretly, sighed, and then a carp jumped out.

The next moment, a woman in palace attire appeared beside Qinchun Spring, and she clasped her fists with both hands and bowed.

"Ao Qing, Dragon King of Qinchun Spring, has seen the messenger."

'What a beautiful woman! '

Boss Tu's eyes flashed brightly. The moment he saw Ao Qing, he couldn't help but feel an evil thought in his heart, and an unprecedented idea suddenly rose in his heart.

He walked in Anyuan County and met many gods, each with a different appearance due to their different bodies.Some gods have strange looks, some gods have hideous faces, and many of them are horrific, making children cry and have nightmares again and again.

Such fair-skinned and beautiful people with a clear and refined temperament are definitely rare. They are either powerful and unattainable, or they are already famous and famous. People like Ao Qing who are in a "wild" state are almost the only ones in the scorpion shit.

'If only she couldn't pay the incense tax, I could...'

There was an evil thought in his heart, but on the surface he was smiling all over his face, Boss Tu's eyes narrowed into a line, like two hooks.

"Ao Qing? It's a good name. But I remember that the Dragon King of this spring is Ao Bing. When did you change it?"

"My father returned to his hometown three months ago, and now Ao Qing is the Dragon King of Qinchun, holding the water of the Qinchun wilderness." Ao Qing replied unhurriedly, but the sadness was aroused, and there was a faint feeling in his eyes. There is aqua flow.

The dragon returns to its hometown?Aobing that old dragon is dead?

Boss Tu's heart moved, and he quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands in apology.

"I'm so sorry, I was rude."

The moment he lowered his head, the corners of Tu Boss's mouth slightly lifted, and when he raised his head, it had already returned to its original appearance.

"Today I was shocked to hear the sad news of Brother Ao, and Tu Mou's heart was pierced with grief..."

Ao Qing was overjoyed when she heard the words. This tax envoy was actually her father's old friend. Now she is so poor that she only has a spring of clean water left. How can she pay the incense tax? There is a turning point.

She hurriedly saluted and said, "It turns out that uncle is in person, and Ao Qing pays respects to uncle."

Seeing the envoy looking at her with a smile, the hope in her heart became stronger, so she climbed up the pole, and hurriedly said: "Ao was the Dragon King in the early Qing Dynasty, but there was a severe drought every year, the people were in dire straits, and there were few sacrifices. It’s not enough to make ends meet, can the imperial court consider reducing or exempting taxes so that all living beings can recuperate.”

At this time, she didn't care about the personality of the person in front of her, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up.Just like a traveler who has been hungry and thirsty for many days in the desert, if he finds a bottle of water of unknown origin, he can only drink it at a risk.

If the imperial court can exempt taxes, he may be able to survive the disaster.

Just as she was looking at each other with hope on her face, Boss Tu's next words were like being poured with a bucket of cold water in the cold winter, and Ao Qing felt her whole body was icy cold, as if she was about to fall into an abyss at any moment.

"It is true that there is a slight drought this year, but the tax system of the imperial court cannot be abolished. Please also ask Qin Chunquan to pay the incense tax for this season on behalf of the Dragon King."

Ao Qing's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and the tears in her eyes, which she could hold back, couldn't be controlled, like pearls dripping down.

"What's the matter? Brother Ao Bing didn't leave some emergency money for your niece?" Boss Tu leaned over to the woman with eyes full of concern, and the intertwined yellow teeth in his mouth looked particularly penetrating when he spoke.

Ao Qing shook her head with tears in her eyes.

"I can't get the incense and copper coins." Boss Tu shook his head regretfully: "You're making things difficult for uncle. The expedient solution is to follow the old rules."

Do things according to the old rules?
When Ao Qing heard this word, she trembled all over. When she was a little fish, she had heard her father say what happened to the gods around her who couldn't pay the incense tax.

If you really have no money to pay the incense tax, the only way is to get something to offset the tax. The valuable things in Qinchun Spring have already been exchanged for water by her. Now the only thing that has some value to the court is a couple of carp in the spring. up.

Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head: "Wait a minute."

She just raised her head and before she finished speaking, she saw Boss Tu slowly stretching out his hand and making a slight move, two black shadows flew out of Qinchun Spring and fell steadily into his palm.

Taking a closer look, two carp the size of a loach were struggling and jumping desperately in his palm, their mouths were opening and closing, chattering non-stop.

"It's over, caught by the bad guys."

"Ao Ding doesn't want to be a grilled fish, save me, auntie, save me!"

"Grandma, grandma, I was caught too, come out and save me!"

"Let go of me, let me go!"

"Since my niece can't come up with incense coins, I can only take these two dragons to pay the bill." Boss Tu ignored the mournful cries of the struggling carp in his hand, habitually weighed the carp in his hand, and was about to put it in. The hand in the pocket stopped, turned to look at Ao Qing, and said with a smile:
"You are lucky, the nobles in the palace happen to want to eat dragon carp recently, otherwise these two items will not solve the problem."
