The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 699 Not Paying Imperial Grain and National Tax
Li Yuanhao said to them: "You oppressed the people! The crime is unforgivable! If you continue to be tyrannical in the future, you will definitely be punished!"

"Yes! Young Master!" said the tax collector and a dozen gangsters.

"Who are you instigated by? Why do the common people have to be driven to a dead end? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the court?" Li Yuanhao said seriously.

I have visited many counties these days. Although each county has different levels of high taxes, it will not completely drive the people to a dead end.

But Daoxiang County in Habayashi County has such rampant and cruel officials. Li Yuanhao has never seen such cruel officials in the Jingtian Dynasty.

"My lord! You don't know something? Our Marquis was also a tax collector, named Wu Zhidong, and another Marquis was a jade merchant named Qian Wanli.

They are now jointly in charge of the three counties of Zhentian, Yulin, and Qamdo. They are marquises of one hundred thousand households. "The fat tax collector told the truth.

"Oh?! There is such a thing?!" Li Yuanhao was startled. One hundred thousand lords, in the current Jingtian Dynasty, only two of them were enshrined as one hundred thousand lords, but they still paid the royal grain and national tax to the court.

One of them was his uncle, and the other was a veteran of the three dynasties. These two made great contributions when the late emperor ascended the throne, so they were awarded honors by the late emperor.

And after he succeeded to the throne, no one has been canonized as a [-] household lord.

Suddenly two more appeared, and one was a tax collector and the other was a jade merchant.

Didn't the late emperor seal it with himself?Could it be...

"Quickly tell me! How did Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli get the position of Lord Marquis?" Li Yuanhao asked.

"This! This! I don't know about it! We just do our job!" said the tax collector.

"Take us to meet the two masters!" Li Yuanhao said.

"My lord! The two Marquis are currently in Habayashi County, so it's inconvenient to disturb you at this time!" the tax collector said worriedly.

Liu Yunxiang next to him interjected, "My son asked you to take us there, so just take us there!"

"Yes!" The tax collector was afraid of Liu Yunxiang, so he had to lead the way with more than a dozen gangsters. At this time, the sky was already bright.

Zhang Erwan also followed Li Yuanhao and Liu Yunxiang, Zhao Feixue did not follow, because she was pregnant, it was very inconvenient, so Zhang Erwan's wife took care of Zhao Feixue at her home, it was no problem.

After about an hour's journey, I finally arrived at the county seat of Habayashi County from Daoxiang County.

The tax collector brought Li Yuanhao, Liu Yunxiang, and Zhang Erwan to the Prince Hou's mansion, but he didn't dare to go in, and said to them, "The two Lords live here!"

"Okay! Go down!" Li Yuanhao didn't want to embarrass the tax collector anymore, so the tax collector pulled away.

And Liu Yunxiang said to him: "Don't bully the people anymore! Otherwise, my iron fist will not forgive anyone!"

"Yes! Yes!" The tax collector nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the war has already started.

The first is Rong Guo. The leader of Rong country, Xia Houwei, has long coveted the greatness of Lu country. He made an agreement with Fan Yunfeng, the leader of Fan country, to launch an attack on Lu country on the border at the same time as the eighth day of October.

Kangle City in the Golden Triangle, Daughter City on the border of Suilu, Chixian City on the border of Ronglu, and Lingzhou City on the border of Fan and Lu form a line at four points, sealing off the entire border of Lu.

The lord of Rongguo, Xiahouwei, sent General Xiahouyuan with 3 cavalry to storm Kangle City in the Golden Triangle area, and 5000 brother troops led by Yi Qingchen fought against the enemy desperately.

But in the end, because the opponent's army was strong and his own side was weak, they could only retreat steadily, retreating to Kangle City, and guarding the city gate. Kangle City was besieged, and a large number of Kangle City residents evacuated to the hinterland of Lu State.
