The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 1036
But the head of the military governor said: "Hmph! You want to take it from me! It's not that easy!"

The head of Wudu ordered a few house slaves to drive a carriage and run to Wangyue City, ten miles away from the village.

Wangyue City is a county seat in Chengguo. The county magistrate is named Qin Shousheng, and his wife is named Shi Zhenxiang.

Among them, Qin Shousheng is greedy for sex, and Shi Zhenxiang is greedy for money. Together, they are greedy for money and sex. The people in the entire county are oppressed by them.

As long as there is still some oil and water to be squeezed out of the common people, they should be squeezed out as much as possible.

Therefore, the taxation of the common people is very heavy, and the peasants work hard all year round without rest. As a result, the increase in production does not increase the income, and most of the grain is levied, and the common people just make ends meet.

Wu Dutou is Qin Shousheng's loyal lackey, so he naturally acted as a tax collector, leading a group of yamen servants to forcibly collect taxes every day.

The common people are afraid of these lackeys.

The old man finally collected the grain from his own field, and finally milled a bag of rice, but these lackeys confiscated it.

This bag of rice was the life-saving food for the old man and the old lady, so the old man secretly took back the grain that should have belonged to him while the military governor and the others were expropriating his family's grain.

Many families begged on their knees to these lackeys, but to no avail.

The head of the military governor said: "It's useless to beg me! If you ask for it, please ask our county magistrate!"

As a result, the people of Wangyue City gathered at the gate of the county government to beg collectively to reduce the tax, but Qin Shousheng not only did not reduce the burden, but increased the burden.

Shi Zhenxiang in the family was very dissatisfied with the tax collected this time, and it did not meet her expectations. She became obsessed with the clothes made of gold silk, which were very expensive and required a lot of money.

As a result, taxes were increased instead, and the common people were almost driven to a dead end.

Bao'er heard the old aunt's tragic statement, and said to the old aunt: "Aunt! Don't be sad! As the saying goes: good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that we don't repay. When the time comes, we will repay it together!"

The military governor presented the jade pendant he got from Bao'er to Qin Shousheng, the magistrate of the county. Qin Shousheng took a look and found that the jade pendant had a spiritual energy.

So he gave the jade pendant to his wife Shi Zhenxiang. When Shi Zhenxiang saw it, she felt like a treasure, so she wore it around her neck and showed it off among the people.

Bao'er and the old lady went to the city.

She felt that this time, the hateful Qin Shousheng and Shi Zhenxiang must be pulled down, so that the common people can stand upright.

After Gao Shuang, Fenix ​​and Mu Wanqing stayed in Feixi City for a day, they decided to continue their private visit to the hinterland of Chengguo.

Gao Shuang pretended to be a suave young man, while Anise and Mu Wanqing were two beauties, and the three walked forward.

Passing through several villages, I found that these villages were lifeless, with neither crowing of cocks nor barking of dogs, it was very quiet.

So thirsty, I went in to have a look, and found that there were no people in several villages.

Even if there are, there are old ones and young ones, and those strong men and laborers are gone.

Moreover, seeing many people hurrying by the side of the road, they all ran out of town.

Why is this happening here?
Gao Shuang didn't understand.

After a journey all the way, we finally arrived at Mochizuki City.

The gate of Wangyue City is open, unlike the gate of Feidong County, which is guarded.

Gao Shuang, Anise, and Mu Wanqing entered the city and saw many shops here, but unfortunately, the business was very deserted.
