Wu control the world

At this time, someone moved a chair beside her, and Lin Xi hurriedly helped the old man to sit down. The little girl was very lively and lovely, and she was no longer as timid as before, running around Lin Xi like a beautiful flower Butterfly.

"Old man, didn't you go to the northern border with Teacher Zige's arrangement?" Lin Xi remembered that Teacher Ziger said that there was an open space on the northern border, and said that he would arrange for his grandfather and grandson to live there.

"Mr. Zige is a good person. It happened that there was war on the northern border and it was not peaceful. He arranged for someone to send Xiaohua and me back to our hometown, and left a lot of money for us to start a new life."

"But Old Shitou was willing to donate the money to all of us, but life is still like this." At this time, the old village head took over the quarrel, but his words were full of sadness.

Afterwards, everyone began to talk one after another. From the angry but helpless narratives of the villagers, Lin Xi gradually understood what happened in these two villages.

It turned out that this remote city called Shiliu City was not peaceful, not because of orcs or natural disasters, but because of the city owner.

The city lord is greedy, not only forcing the villagers to pay various land taxes every year, even in times of disaster, but also trying to embezzle the ownership of the land from the villagers.For example, some villagers were unable to pay enough taxes on time due to the reduction of food production due to the weather, and the city lord would forcibly take back the land deed, and then half-politely and half-threateningly rented the land to the villager again!

The villagers would starve to death immediately if they left the land. Even if the city lord would charge twice the rent a year, there was nothing they could do.The city owner relied on Shiliu City as his, and raised a large number of thugs under him, threatening them all the time. Even though they were extremely angry, they could only swallow their resentment and grievances in their stomachs.

When Lin Xi heard this, his hands were already tightly clenched into fists, and his veins were even more exposed, but the facts told by the villagers next made him even more angry!

In addition to trying everything possible to squeeze the hard-earned money of the villagers in this way, this greedy city lord has other methods.

Due to the remoteness of the place and the long distance, whenever the orcs invaded, although the imperial army would try their best to strangle these orcs like now, but the army was limited after all, and a village as far away as this could not take care of it.Fortunately, the empire has also arranged another plan to try its best to protect the safety of every citizen, that is, in the autumn when the orcs are infested, the empire will ask Shiliu City to send some of its own guards to station here to protect the lives of the villagers. Property security.

But the city lord never did this once.In order to save the expenses of the guards, and even more so to prevent any casualties of the guards who obeyed him, the city lord simply ignored them at this critical moment and ordered all the guards to stay in Shiliu City. It kills villagers outright or destroys already struggling families, but it is undoubtedly more hateful.

It leaves the door open to protect the villagers from orc invasion.He should wholeheartedly do good deeds for the benefit of the citizens under his command, but this city lord is pushing the citizens into the fire!

Lin Xi also learned from everyone's narration: In fact, in order to compensate the losses suffered by the villagers when the orcs invaded, the empire will send a considerable amount of disaster relief funds through the city lord every year, but even this guarantees the villagers to survive the most critical situation. The city lord of the life-saving money in difficult times is also greedy, and it is all greedy!

He did not go to see the villagers who were brutally killed by orcs in the village, and he was indifferent to the villagers who were starved to death in the village because of hunger. The empire, how much money has been looted from the villagers!

What is the use of such a city lord!When Lin Xi heard this, she had already stood up with a "huh", her teeth were tightly biting her lips, and blood was streaming out!

The reason why these two villages seem to be quite peaceful is all thanks to the old man's money.After returning to the village, the old man convened everyone to advance the emergency funds for the villagers who were facing the land deeds being withdrawn by the city lord at any time because they could not pay the land tax. This relieved the urgent need of most people in the village.

Later, some of the remaining money was also used for this.Due to the severe drought last year, the grain production was reduced, but the greedy city lord still insisted on collecting taxes in equal amounts.

It wasn't until the old man spent the last silver coin that all the villagers survived.

But today, if Lin Xi hadn't appeared, even if the villagers could escape the slaughter of the orcs, they would be unable to pay taxes to the city lord because of the destruction of their fields and houses and the loss of food, thus facing the situation of being displaced!

For two full hours, Lin Xi and the villagers didn't have time to eat lunch.The villagers were full of anger, angrily condemning the city lord's despicable, ruthless and vicious actions, while Lin Xi kept a gloomy face.Hearing the complaints from the villagers, even he, an outsider, felt extremely resentful. He only felt that there was a ball of anger burning in his chest!

If Lin Xi didn't solve this problem for the villagers, she felt that she couldn't do without her, and she was ashamed to face these poor villagers!

After having a not-so-rich but enjoyable lunch with the villagers, Lin Xi immediately walked out of the room and said to the people behind him, "When I come back, I'll go back as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xi didn't turn his head back. According to the villagers' description in the morning and a simple map in his hand, he went straight to the Shiliu City City Lord's Mansion.

When she was about to walk out of the dense forest, Lin Xi seemed to think of something. After opening the space ring, she put on one of the magic suits that Anthony had given her.Immediately, the previous coarse black clothes were gone, replaced by an expensive silk shirt, and there was even a pattern made of gold thread inlaid between the cuff buttons.Not only the clothes, but even the trousers and shoes are high-end products that can be seen by others at a glance.

The brown hair on his head was shortened a lot and turned flaxen, and even his height and appearance had changed a lot.Now, even if Anthony stood in front of him, he would definitely not recognize that this young and somewhat frivolous young master Jingui was Lin Xi!

The magic suit is really not a mortal thing, it can change the body in an instant, and unless you read a spell to take the initiative to clear this outfit, otherwise, its effect can theoretically last for a lifetime!In order to get rid of the people following her when she left her uncle's house to go to the old house last time, Lin Xi had already used a set.At that time, almost under the eyes of the five people, he changed his appearance and continued to walk swaggeringly, but the five people didn't even feel the slightest abnormality.

After a big change, Linxi left the dense forest and walked along the rugged path for more than an hour. Finally, before it was dark, he came across a rural hotel with a little more people. A carriage entering the city began to approach the city lord's mansion.
