Chapter 90 Torturing Officials!Pay no taxes or die! (seeking subscription)

Da da!

Da da!

Under the setting sun, Huang Degong rode his horse and held a gun, came to Shen Yongjia and other officials and gentry, and sneered: "I actually expect my own country to be brave enough to fight against our soldiers and horses in the West Factory, and I am overestimated!"

As he spoke, Huang Degong also picked up the square scarf on Shen Yongjia's head with the tip of his spear.

Shen Yong Jiaqiang calmed down and said: "Don't dare to hide it from the superior, they are indeed thieves, not village braves, my Changzhou scholars have suffered from it for a long time, please investigate clearly!"

"Let's take it as if you are telling the truth. After all, my Xichang is also a soldier of the imperial court, not a rogue, but now I wish I were a rogue, so that I can poke a few holes in each of you to eliminate the pain in your chest. gas!"

"Damn it, that is, Lao Tzu Xichang wants to come with cannons and guns. If ordinary officials come to collect taxes, you're afraid that your fellow countrymen will kill them all! Isn't it?"

"It's a pity that I was hungry and killed the Tartars for you back then, but you refused to pay half a bucket of taxes and food! What a bunch of wolves!"

Huang Degong scolded these officials and gentry.

But Shen Yongjia and other officials and gentry did not dare to show their air.

"Where does the former chief assistant Shen Changzhou's family live?"

Huang Degong then asked.

These officials all glanced at Shen Yongjia.

Shen Yongjia replied, "I really don't know."

"You locals don't know where your local nobles live?"

Huang Degong asked a question, and said, "I don't know, then copy your home!"

"No, we know, we just didn't dare to say at first, he is Shen Gong Zhongzi!"

A squire named Song Jiutong hurriedly pointed at Shen Yongjia.

Shen Yongjia was furious, and looked at Song Jiutong: "Song Jiutong! How dare you betray the lord? If it wasn't for Lao Tzu's Shen family's help, would you be able to become an official?"

Song Jiutong bowed his head and remained silent.

Huang Degong pointed a gun at Shen Yongjia: "Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Shen Yongjia honestly agreed, then got up and brought Huang Degong to his mansion.

At this time, Huang Degong suddenly saw a raging fire burning next to a large house in front of him.

Huang Degong was shocked, and hurriedly asked Shen Yongjia: "What's going on?"

Shen Yongjia secretly laughed, and thought: "The people in the mansion must have known about it, and lit a big fire according to the agreement, so that these people in the West Factory thought that their food had been burned."

After thinking this way, Shen Yongjia made a painful and anxious look on purpose and said, "It seems that the Hanfu's grain depot has run out of water!"

"Bastard! What a cunning gentry!"

Huang Degong lashed Shen Yongjia's face with a whip, cursed, and ordered: "Tie him up to me!"

"Yes!"

Then, Huang Degong waited for the Xichang official school to escort Shen Yongjia to Shen's house.

When Huang Degong arrived at Shen's house, the Shen's grain depot had been burned down to a rubble field, and even the houses around were also set ablaze.

"Fire first!"

Seeing this, Huang Degong ordered.

"Yes!"

Therefore, the Xichang Official School first helped the nearby people to save their lives.

But Shen Yongjia and his son Shen Shaofang, who had already appeared outside the gate, looked at each other and sneered at this time, triumphantly.

After the fire was brought under control, Huang Degong led his troops to Shen's house.

Shen Shaofang and other members of the Shen family were also submissive, and they all prostrated themselves outside the gate: "Welcome to the official business!"

Then, Shen Yongjia pretended to be sad and said: "The slaves are not careful, and the grain depot is leaking. Now it may be difficult to pay the taxes and grains in full. I hope that Lord Pang will accommodate!"

"Grandpa Pang, please be accommodating!"

Shen Shaofang also begged with other Shen family members, but she still couldn't help laughing secretly, unable to hide her joy that the trick had succeeded.

"The commander-in-chief is right. You cannot underestimate the shamelessness of you people. You must be judged with the greatest malice."

As he said that, Huang Degong spread his hands: "Sure enough! I figured out a way to burn the granary!"

Huang Degong sighed after speaking: "It's really shameless!"

"Grandpa, please! It's really not that my Shen family doesn't want to pay the tax. Our Shen family doesn't want to do this either. Now that the food and fodder are all burned, our Shen family has to borrow food to survive! Woooo !"

Shen Yongjia really covered his face and started crying after saying that.

The rest of the Shen family also cried, and they all secretly glanced at Huang Degong.

At this time, the Changzhou scholars who came to save lives because of the fire in Shen's granary and nearby houses also came here to watch. Seeing Shen's family crying like this, some soft-hearted scholars began to persuade them.

"Your soldiers in Xichang are different from other officers and soldiers. They even help our common people to survive. It can be seen that they are good officers and soldiers with military discipline. They must also be conscientious. Since their Shen family was burned , it can be regarded as retribution, or forget it."

"That's right. Although the Shen family used to bully our neighbors a lot, it's really miserable now. Soldiers from Xichang, why don't you give them a favor."

"Look at them, they are usually lords, but they cry worse than when we common people were in famine. My heart softens. The soldiers of Xichang should show kindness."

Shen Yongjia, Shen Shaofang, Shen Shaozhi and other members of the Shen family cried even more when they saw that their neighbors, whom they hadn't looked down on, were pleading for mercy for them.

Shen Yongjia even wailed loudly: "The Shen family received the state's favor, and should serve the country in case of emergency, but the descendants are not good at housekeeping, and they suffer from such misfortune. In the future, it will be difficult to see the ancestors! Woohoo!"

"Oh, how miserable!"

"Yes! The Shen family is miserable this time."

"Now it depends on whether Master Bing of Xichang is willing to show kindness."

Huang Degong ignored these common people who sympathized with Shen's family, but directly ordered: "Liu Zongmin, you come and torture them, and the rest guard the main roads around. Anyone who dares to obstruct my Xichang from carrying out the emperor's mission will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Liu Zongmin, who was searched out from the refugees by Zhang Gui's men, stood up at this moment, and said with a sneer, "Now it's my turn to torture you!"

Liu Zongmin's parents hanged themselves because they couldn't pay the rent collected by the gentry, and he himself became a refugee because of this. If Zhang Guiti hadn't rescued him, according to the original historical development, he would follow Li Zicheng and others to rebel.

Now, although Liu Zongmin did not rebel, but became an official school of the imperial court, his class hatred for these gentry has long been engraved in his bones.

Therefore, Liu Zongmin ignored the sympathy of those scholars and people outside, nor was he emotional because of the fake crying of these Shen family members here. Instead, after saying this with a smile, he asked people to bring Shen Shaozhi, Shen Shaofang's younger brother, first. He whipped the whip and asked, "How do you plan to pay the taxes and grains your family owes to the imperial court?"

"what!"

Shen Shaozhi screamed, and then said angrily: "I don't know!"

boom!
Liu Zongmin pressed one of Shen Shaozhi's hands to the ground, then picked up the bone and smashed it down: "I really don't know?"

Shen Shaozhi trembled and said, "I really don't know!"

Liu Zongmin simply drew a knife and stabbed Shen Shaozhi's abdomen: "I told you that you don't know!"

Shen Yongjia, Shen Shaofang and others couldn't help being surprised.

Shen Yongjia even yelled directly at Huang Degong: "My servant, our Shen family's food has been burned. You have seen it with your own eyes. Why do you still force us to pay taxes? Now you still torture us like this, and even kill people? How is this different from a cruel official?!"

"This is the end for refusing to pay taxes! I don't care if your food is burned or not. My west factory only asks you how to pay the tax and food, and you must see the tax and food paid immediately."

Huang Degong yelled: "There is no need to discuss!"

When Shen Yongjia saw this eyeball rolled, he looked directly at the common people outside, and shouted: "Fellow folks, please help me and tell the Shen family about me, don't you also want to see their Xichang forced to pay taxes? Killing people?! Aren’t you afraid that they will force you like this?!”

As Shen Yongjia spoke, he glanced at Huang Degong. Seeing that Huang Degong did not show any intention of compromise, he simply knelt down to these folks and people: "I beg you folks to help me! If my Shen family has offended you in the past , beg for mercy here!"

Senior hunters often appeared in the form of prey. The noble gentry of the Shen family, who usually looked like earth emperors in Changzhou County, all pretended to be aggrieved and innocent like little white rabbits, begging for mercy from the common people outside.

For a while, the common people began to feel dissatisfied with Xichang's approach.

"Xichang did too much."

"It's really mean, no matter how you say it, the Shen family is also the first assistant family."

"The descendants of Shoufu can't treat him kindly, let alone people like us."
