The Shadowless God of the Six Doors

Chapter 39 Extortion
Among the more than 20 people who rushed out of the gate of Li's house, the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, eight feet tall and burly.

"Fifth Master, the officials of the county government beat Liu San to death indiscriminately." A nurse came to the middle-aged man and said loudly.

The middle-aged man glanced at Liu San who had passed out, raised his head and glanced at Zhang Wenjin's face, ignoring his existence, and said to Feng Hu, who was tall and burly beside him, "You killed my Li family. ?”

"Who are you?" Feng Hu said without showing any weakness.

"This is the fifth master of my Li family, Li Cunshan. Come and pay a visit soon!" someone introduced.

"Hmph!" Feng Hu snorted coldly and wanted to explode, but was stopped by Zhang Wenjin.

"This is my Yunju county yamen catcher, Zhang catcher." Liu Kuaizui introduced Zhang Wenjin to everyone in the Li family.

"Catcher Zhang?"

Li Cunshan frowned, and looked at Zhang Wenjin, only to see that Zhang Wenjin was of medium stature, and his eyes were like stars, giving off a vaguely elegant and refined feeling, without any other special features. This may be because Zhang Wenjin practiced the Nine Breaths of Taoism Because of the method of receiving qi.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenjin, who was rumored to be favored by Qinglong Lingyun of the six doors, turned out to be a young man of seventeen or eighteen. Li Cunshan curled his lips and said, "My Li family is not Zhao Laocai's trash, if you think my Li family is a soft persimmon, easy to bully, Then you have made a wrong calculation. My second brother Li Cunmao works in the prefecture, and the third brother Li Cundao works in Qianniuwei Mansion. Are you..."

Before Li Cunshan finished speaking, Zhang Wenjin said: "Li Cunshan, your Li family took the lead in resisting taxes, and has not paid taxes for many years. We will not pursue the past. Today, my county government servant came to your house to collect tax money. How do you treat someone who hurt you? Does your Li family want to rebel?"

After Zhang Wenjin finished speaking, Li Cunshan was taken aback. He didn't expect Zhang Wenjin to put the label of rebellion on the Li family's head.Li Cunshan said without changing his face: "Captain Zhang, don't want to spit blood. My Li family..."

"It's a fact that your Li family didn't pay taxes. The Li family has a reputation in Yunju County, and the brothers in the family are working in the state and Qianniuwei. It's hard to believe that you have already disagreed. Do you want me to report to Master Lu? The state decides?" Zhang Wenjin didn't give Li Cunshan a chance to speak, and the more Li Cunshan listened, the more frightened he became.

This matter of paying taxes is a major national event. Previously, the Yunju county government could not gain a foothold in Yunju County, and was driven around by bandits, ignoring tax collection. Now that the county government has stabilized and stood firm, it is obviously unreasonable not to pay taxes.Based on this alone, if Mr. Lu writes a memorial, it will be enough for the Li family to drink a pot.

Thinking of this, Li Cunshan immediately put on a smiling face and said: "Catcher Zhang is right, my Li family is not Zhao Laocai's guy, and the taxes and silver that should be paid will not be less, but I want to discuss with the owner to raise money. After all, this tax money is not a small amount.”

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll wait for you for a few days. Let's settle the score first. What should you do if your Li family injured our county government servant?" Zhang Wenjin asked.

"Sorry, this is really a misunderstanding. These people are just recruited and don't know the rules. I will strictly guard the servants in the future. Please spare them this time, and I will not be an example." Li Cunshan said in his mouth. Look at Zhang Wenjin.

"Li Wuye is a sensible person, and I will not make it difficult for you, the Li family. The tax money will be sent to the county government within three days. My injured brothers need to eat, drink, and recover from their injuries. Liu Kuaizui, calculate how much the Li family should pay Silver taels?" Zhang Wenjin looked at Liu Kuaizui and said.

"Captain, I calculated that it will cost about 100 taels of silver." Liu Kuai said.

"100 taels? Is it enough? You have to be sure." Zhang Wenjin said.

"Ah?!" Liu Kuai thought to himself, there is an accurate number, the six people on the ground are nothing more than rubbing some safflower oil and resting for a few days, which will not cost much money.

"Li Cheng, do you see if the brothers have broken their bones?" Zhang Wenjin looked at Li Chengdao who was on the ground.

Sitting on the ground, Li Cheng glanced and asked with his eyes, and everyone shook their heads.

"Captain, we are all skin wounds." Li Chengdao.

Zhang Wenjin was angry, and secretly said: "I'm giving you a chance to extort money, and you can't grasp it. You have been fooled by bandits all these years."

"Okay, the Li family gave 500 taels of silver to treat my subordinates' wounds, and this matter is over. How about it? Li Wuye." Zhang Wenjin asked.

500 taels, 500 taels is enough for this group of people to eat and drink for a year, and they are useless.It's just a beating, and there is no muscle injury, so it costs 500 taels. Isn't this extortion?
Li Cunshan's lips were trembling with anger, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "Captain Zhang, isn't this too much money? Our people were also injured. Look..."

"Forget it, the people in my county government were injured by the Li family when they were performing official duties. We followed the rules and took them all away. We will go to the county government for interrogation to see if they are related to bandits and rebellious parties. Take them away!" Zhang Wenjin finished speaking, Turn around and leave.

As soon as Feng Hu heard the music, he stepped forward, waving an iron rod to arrest people.

"Slow, wait! We will lose money. Pay it now." Li Cunshan cursed in his heart. If this person is caught in the county government, it will be more troublesome to have to interrogate him if he has nothing to do. It is better to spend money to avoid disaster.

The Li family took out 500 taels of silver and handed it to Liu Kuaizui, and Zhang Wenjin led people back to the county government.

In the reception hall of the Li family, after hearing the report, Li Cunxiao, Li Cunshan's eldest brother, smashed the tea bowl into pieces angrily, and said sharply, "Is there still Wang Fa? This is going to ride on my Li family's head and shit! Fifth, are you The more you live, the more you go back, where is all the energy you had when you were young. You write to the second and third children to let them take care of it, and see if you can put pressure on Yunju County and let them know how powerful we are."

"Brother, calm down. I don't think this can quench your thirst. Why don't you let the fourth brother try it. The county government asked us to pay the tax within three days. If something happens to the tax in the county government, it's none of our Li family's business." It's gone." Li Cunshan said in a low voice.

"You mean to use people from the mountains?" Uncle Li Cunxiao asked doubtfully.

"Brother, what are you worried about? Now the county government has established itself, and we will have a good life there in the long run. Let's let them know how powerful we are when they have just stood up and their foundation is not stable, and give them a warning. They can't deal with the bandits, and they will have to come to us at that time, the Li family can now be a big family in Yunju County, no one can compare." Li Cunshan said with a smirk.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you and the fourth child. But be careful, if we get involved with bandits, even the second and third child will not be able to save the Li family." Li Cunxiao instructed .

"Brother, don't worry, there are more than one bandit, I have a solution." Li Cunshan finished speaking and left the hall.

Li Cunxiao always felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen, after thinking about it, he didn't know what went wrong, so he turned and went back to the backyard.
