The fierce wife is in power: the general should not try to escape

Chapter 427 Raising Money
The ground trembled for a while, the big pit was covered by trees and snow, and a dozen men in black also stayed here.

Yin couldn't help panting heavily, at this moment he was at the end of his strength, if there were a few more people here now, maybe he would directly explain here.Suppressing the pain and feeling of powerlessness, Yin took a look at the big pit, and after confirming that the men in black couldn't get out of it, he lifted his feet and walked towards Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan had almost healed his injuries, and when Yin Yi came over, he just stood up and was about to go out.

Although he didn't see what happened just now, he has been paying attention to the movement around him.The moment he saw Yin Yi, Qi Muyuan understood that the man in black had already been dealt with.Because of this, Qi Muyuan still admires Yinyi's methods a little bit.

"Take a break, your wound needs to be bandaged." Frowning, Qi Muyuan looked at Yin Yi's current state and couldn't help but said.

Hearing this, Yin Yi did not try to be brave, just sat down and let Qi Muyuan deal with him in a simple way.The severe cold weather makes the wound scab quickly, but this does not mean that the wound does not need to be bandaged.On the contrary, even if some wounds have scabs, the scabs must be picked apart and then re-dressed.

This busy work lasted more than half an hour, and the wound was not handled particularly finely.It was inevitable that Zhao Xuanran's people would catch up again, but the two just dealt with it hastily and left immediately.

Because of this interception, Qi Muyuan decided to change the route back, and at the same time made a simple treatment of his and Yinyi's faces.In addition, Yinyi sent a letter to the people in Yinlou, and the people in Yinlou dealt with some pursuers for them overtly and secretly, and the subsequent journey was relatively smooth.

Two days later, Qi Muyuan and Yinyi changed from a small road to an official road, and successfully sneaked into a city called Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is about a month away from Kyoto, which is considered a relatively remote place, but Tongzhou has not been depressed because of this. Instead, it has become the best developed city in this direction, and several surrounding cities are faintly headed by it.

At this time, the prefect of Tongzhou's mansion was in a solemn atmosphere. The prefect of Tongzhou and the people in power in several surrounding cities sat in the study with serious faces.

The magistrate of Tongzhou was named Xu Weiguang, he was a little fat, he was greedy for money by nature, and he would do anything to make money.Since becoming the magistrate of Tongzhou, Xu Weiguang has set a tax for Tongzhou himself. This tax will not be handed over to the court, and it will be used as his small treasury.

If it's just that, it's fine, but the amount of tax to be paid is not low.Moreover, he has different taxation quotas for people from different family backgrounds. Don't think that he is thinking about ordinary people. To poke out.

At the beginning, people didn't understand Xu Weiguang's character, and they were very dissatisfied with this inexplicable tax, and they also made troubles at the door.But they were all solved by Xu Weiguang's thunderous means, and no one above was to hold them accountable.

Later, people learned that the new magistrate of Tongzhou was originally a student of the Right Prime Minister, and that the Right Prime Minister had a great backer behind him, so he had nothing to fear.As a result, the wealthy businessmen in Tongzhou Prefecture were the first to lose, and each of them came to the door with a generous gift of apology to pray for Xu Weiguang's forgiveness.

Later, under the joint suppression of Xu Weiguang and wealthy businessmen, ordinary people could not seek justice for themselves, and their lives were so tight.

Some time ago, Zhao Xuanran rebelled, and Zhang Cheng asked Xu Weiguang to increase the tax in order to support Zhao Xuanran financially.All the property obtained was transported back to Kyoto for Zhang Cheng's use, and even Xu Weiguang's early preservation was not spared.

A few days ago, Xu Weiguang received another notice from Zhang Cheng that he needed money, but there was not much he could get out, so he called all the people in power in the surrounding cities, trying to get some money from them.

"You all know that it's Xu who helped you both openly and secretly over the years, so you can always sit in your current position and have a lot of money. Now Xu needs your help. I think you are not ungrateful people , will be able to help Xu solve this urgent need."

Looking around at several people, Xu Weiguang said it soundly, but there was a real murderous intent in those eyes.

These people are all aware of Xu Weiguang's methods. Even if they intend to rely on the emperor and the prince, the sky is far away from the emperor. Before the emperor sent someone, they were dealt with by Xu Weiguang.

Therefore, for the sake of their own lives, they would rather lose money to avoid disaster.

"Master Xu is in trouble, I will not stand idly by, but although Huaye City has outstanding people, I have no wealth, and what I can give Master Xu is only 5 taels, and I can't get any more."

The prefect of Huaye City is a gray-haired old man. He is still in office at his current age, and he has indeed received a lot of favor from Zhang Cheng.In order to show his gratitude, the prefect of Huaye City immediately announced the amount of 5 taels of silver, hoping to send Xu Weiguang away.

As soon as his words came out, someone immediately echoed them.

"Lin'an County is willing to donate 2 taels. I hope Mr. Xu can get through this difficult time!"

"Qinzhou is willing to give 4 taels, and use all his family wealth to fight with Mr. Xu!"

"Wanshui County is willing to donate 2 taels to support Master Xu's great cause!"

They all reported their own prices, so it turned out that the prefect of Huaye City paid the largest amount of money.However, at the beginning, Liu Zhiyi, a minister of the Qingshui Yamen, could have been found out with 20 taels of silver and a lot of real estate.And these few prefects and county magistrates who are so far away from the capital and will not be easily found out if they do anything, are so "poor" that there is not more than one person in total.

Xu Weiguang's face darkened immediately, and the looming murderous intent immediately burst out undisguised, filling the entire study.

"Bang!" Xu Weiguang sneered after he slapped the table heavily, "Hmph, the adults are really generous, and the total is only 13 taels. No matter how many people are anointed, what you say is nothing more than a fraction!"

Without going around in circles with a few people, Xu Weiguang is now facing the pressure Zhang Cheng put on him, so he really doesn't have the heart to go around with a few people.

As soon as these words came out, several people were shocked.They didn't want to offend Xu Weiguang, but they had been used to being domineering in their own territory over the years. Even if they had to rely on the relationship between Xu Weiguang and Zhang Cheng, they had never bowed down.

Now Xu Weiguang is using this attitude to force them to hand over their wealth. Naturally, no one is willing to compromise.
