Chapter 108 Revenge!The tax collector who indirectly killed the original owner was brutally annexed by the land!Dazhang begs to subscribe!

Jiang Chen reached out and picked up the irregular green-red stone. It felt a little warm and slippery to the touch, like a cobblestone with edges and corners that had not been smoothed. Let's call it: half-step late peak Dzogchen?

【Blue Flame Sacrificial Stone】

【Quality: White】

[Description: The materials obtained by burning the corpses of Qingzhou fighters and crushing them, within a radius of ten meters, those who are also Qingzhou Bingwu Dao pathways will have their potential vitality stimulated and enter the state of "sacrifice". 】

[Note 15.00: After giving up, the lifespan of burning ranges from one year to nine years, and the strength of one's blood is increased by 150% to [-]%, and the duration is [-] breaths. 】

[Note [-]: If it is buried in the soil with the corpses of Liangzhou soldiers for twelve hours, special changes may occur. 】

Jiang Chen knew it in his heart, and thought:
"It seems that this 'Note [-]' is the key to the gathering of the five elements."

"I don't know if anyone in David's mainland has discovered the secret of the gathering of the five elements. If not, maybe I can still compete for the reputation and benefits of the person who invented the ritual..."

In the land of Kyushu, with the research and evolution of martial arts methods and rituals, thousands of strange rituals were born.

There are practical rituals like "riding the green bull upside down" and "returning the soul to the hometown", and there are also some useless rituals, such as "screaming", the only use is to make the screams Included in the chicken-shaped woodcarving.

Once pressed, it will make a scream. It is one of the hundreds of funny props that Qingzhou Military and Political Academy explicitly prohibits students from bringing into the hospital.

If someone develops a new ceremony and obtains a two-way certification from the Qingzhou government and the military and political academy, he can gain a lot of prestige and some privileges.

If the ceremony proves to have a certain practical value, it will even be rewarded by the Qingzhou government, at least no less than a middle-grade sharp weapon;
If the ceremony is of great value and is recognized by the David Dynasty, money, treasures, beauties, status and power, whatever you want, you will have everything!

A little excitement arose in Jiang Chen's heart, and he couldn't help but think of another "invention" of his own - flour.

"Counting the days, more than [-] days have passed, and I don't know when the second round of rewards from the imperial court will be passed on to the Zhengxi military camp?"

"Also, the tax collector who indirectly killed the original owner seems to be surnamed Sheng. Has Mr. Sheng received my thank you gift?"

With all kinds of fantasies, Jiang Chen chuckled, jumped on the back of the old green cow again, and rode backwards westward.

According to the divination results of the old man Dongfang, the team of animal trainers who captured the saber-toothed tiger will arrive in Xili City around tomorrow evening.

and so.

The best place to ambush is a place called Qingquan Oasis.

They will definitely stay at the water source here, rest for a night, and leave after dawn.

Jiang Chen calculated the distance.

If there is no accident, you can arrive when the sun sets today!

……

And this time.

Thousands of miles away, Qingzhou, Pingshou County, and Chen Sheng Township also had a major event that caused a sensation in the whole township.

The cause and result of this major event are also closely related to Jiang Chen himself.

Although the original owner's parents died, there are still some relatives who have not passed the fifth service, helping to take care of the three acres of irrigated land left by his parents and more than ten acres of barren mountain fields.

The original owner's uncle - Jiang Baofan is one of them.

He is in his fifties this year. He is an extremely honest farmer who endures hardships and stands hard work. He has spent most of his life farming to support his family.

He is also Chen Buhung's elder brother.

Although the names of the two brothers sound ridiculous, in the eyes of poor farmers, "full food" and "not hungry" are parents' greatest expectations for their children in the future life.

It was just that when the two brothers were young, a few Jiang surnamed households in the village were secretly oppressed, exploited and excluded by the Sheng family, the largest surname in the township, and their lives became more and more difficult.

In desperation, the parents had no choice but to give their younger brother Buhung to another wealthy family surnamed Chen who had no children.

That's why.

Before leaving, Chen Buhung was willing to agree to Jiang's request to be full, and from time to time take care of the only child with the surname Jiang in the folk husband group, that is, Jiang Chen.

"Be careful when you go out, the Western Regions are not a good place!"

"Got it, brother."

"I'll watch out, Uncle!"

When my younger brother and nephew are far away from home,

At the end of every month, Jiang Baofan would go to Huting, and the mail seekers would inquire about the current situation of the people in Pingshou County, especially...

My nephew and younger brother lived and died without hunger!

…………

Five days after the Qingzhou Army set off on No.40, the second letter from Chen Buxie finally mentioned Jiang Chen's name:

【Brother, this nephew of the Jiang family may have lost his mind! 】

【This kid was stung by a scorpion and passed out for more than ten hours. I thought he was going to die. I wanted to burn it to ashes, bring back a few broken bones, and bury it in the field. The burial will also be in our own field.

But maybe it was the Lord Qingtian who blessed him, he woke up that night, clamoring for a drink of water, I also breathed a sigh of relief, I won't feel sorry for you.

But from this day on, Jiang’s boy’s brain seems to be out of order, he is startled all day long, pretending to be a ghost, does he really think he is a divination?

As long as you have a little knowledge, you don't have no knowledge at all! 】

[How can a person who has not received the ritual know divination? 】

Jiang Baofan laughed, as long as his life is saved, it doesn't matter if his brain is bad or bad, fools are blessed with fools.

After reading the letter, he was much happier and ate half a bowl of rice that night.

however.

Accident happened!
It was agreed to send a letter every 30 days, but in just four or five days, another letter came!
Such anomalous phenomena frightened the honest farmer Jiang Baofan for a long time and did not dare to open the envelope, for fear that his nephew or younger brother would die in a foreign country or some major accident would happen!
He had long heard that the crap-talking villager, the civilian husband who went to the Western Regions, died 8000 people in just a month or two!
At last,
It was the wife who tore the envelope.

In the letter, Chen Buhung's tone changed greatly from the last time!
It is no longer "Your Ginger Boy",
But -

"Nephew Jiang Xian"!
[Brother, my dear brother, I'm afraid our Jiang family is going to have a new character. A few days ago, nephew Jiang Xian made a lot of noise...]

In the letter, all the incidents such as Jiang Chen's gathering of chariots, facing the top ten Qingzhou soldiers alone, and being named the head of the civilian husband were all mentioned in one go.

This startled the honest farmer Jiang Baofan, but when he thought about it carefully, tears flowed down unconsciously:

"Our Jiang family finally doesn't need to be bullied!"

pity.

A few days later.

The bullying that should have come has finally come.

"After so many days, nearly 1 civilians have died, and the three acres of land under the name of that brat of the Jiang family should... change their owners!"

The tax collector named Sheng Zhongxian laughed grimly, and couldn't hold back his greed for Jiang's land any longer. He brought more than [-] families with the same surname and surrounded Jiang Baofan's gate, all waving debt books in their hands!

"Pay back the money!"

"Jiang Chen's parents owed my family dozens of taels of silver, so they jumped off the cliff and committed suicide. The father's debt is paid by the son, and the money must be paid back!"

"It's only right and proper to pay off debts!"

"It doesn't matter if they're dead, the Jiang family's parents are usually timid and have no ability. If they live in this world, they will only eat rice dearly!"

"Uncle Full Food, you should come out and say something!"

Listen to these insulting words of the dead.

"Humiliate my family!"

"When I was young and I was starving to death, the Jiang family never borrowed a single penny from your Sheng family!"

Jiang Baofan was so angry that his face turned pale, his eyes were full of aggrieved anger, suppressing the anger in his heart, holding the firewood ax at home, and slammed open the door of his house.

At this moment, the audience is silent.

Everyone's expression changed, and several timid families were scared, and instinctively took half a step back, but Sheng Zhongxian, a tax collector, is a person who quits halfway?

Are you afraid of mere firewood axe?
Sneered and said:

"Jiang Baofan, your family's tax this year has not been paid in full!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baofan became even more angry, his chest heaved, and he said angrily:
"Sheng, there are four to five hundred people in the village, and my Jiang family has only seventeen or eighteen households. Including the unborn baby, there are only eight or ninety people. Why should I pay half of the village's tax? "

Sheng Zhongxian said with a smile:
"My Sheng family is just a few families. It's normal to pay less."

With the next sentence, his face gradually turned cold:
"I am the official. It is my duty to collect taxes for the country, and it has nothing to do with you! If you say something more, you should also pay the taxes you owed in previous years!"

A chubby accountant from the Sheng family shook his folding fan and said with a smile:

"If you sell your nephew's three acres of irrigated land and the ten acres of mountain fields, it will be able to cover the amount in the debt book, and there will be a little left over to cover the Jiang family's taxes this year."

Jiang Baofan was furious, split the wooden door in half with an axe, and said angrily:

"Whoever dares to move my nephew's land, I will kill him!"

Sheng Zhongxian's eyes were cold:
"If I invite Qingzhou veterans from Huting, then this matter will not be settled with just a few acres of land."

Jiang Baofan held the ax tightly, and said in a deep and sullen voice:

"Then go ask for it!"

The voice just fell!

Several Qingzhou soldiers in blue battle armor strode into the village entrance.

Mr. Sheng's accountant turned around and looked, half surprised and half happy, and said:

"Master Sheng, you have long expected that the Jiang family will not enter. These masters of Qingzhou soldiers... did you invite them in advance?"

Sheng Zhongxian was a little dazed, touched the back of his head, and said in a strange tone:

"No, if you call the gang of soldiers, I can keep one of the three acres of land, thank God."

soon.

Several Qingzhou soldiers, led by the villagers, strode to the village and asked loudly:
"Where are Jiang Chen's relatives?"

Hear this.

Jiang Baofan panicked, could it be that his nephew died?But if you think about it carefully, how can your nephew have the ability to invite the master of Qingzhou soldiers?
unless……

Everyone present, at this moment, thought of a certain possibility!
Could it be that he joined the army and became a Qingzhou soldier?
Jiang Baofan was overjoyed and immediately shouted:

"I am Jiang Chen's uncle!"

Sheng Zhongxian felt uneasy in his heart, clenched his fists, looked closely at the Qingzhou soldiers who were getting closer, and guessed in his heart: "Could it really be Qingzhou soldiers?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The Qingzhou soldier's seed that hasn't been taken away in this township is only the son of Gongsun's family!"

The accountant even unknowingly broke the folding fan.

Amidst the complex emotions of the crowd, a Qingzhou soldier was full of joy, holding the land deed and documents, strode to the crowd, and said with a happy smile:
"Congratulations, everyone. Jiang Chen, a native of Pingshou County, has made great contributions to the West Conquest Army. He has been named an independent hundred generals and has become an official!"

One word shocked a thousand layers of waves!
Everyone was stunned for a while, and Sheng Zhongxian's face was ashen. For a while, the audience was silent, even if a needle fell on the ground, he could still hear it.

Qingzhou soldiers were astonished:
"Did I go to the wrong place? Jiang Chen, a native of Pingshou County and a native of Chen Sheng Township, are his parents and relatives here?"

Jiang Baofan hastily shouted:
"I am his uncle, if you need anything, just call me!"

At this time.

The leader of the Qingzhou soldiers came out, took out the documents from the package, handed them to Jiang Baofan, and said with a smile on his face:
"Before I retired from the army, I was only a hundred generals, but your Mr. Jiang, I heard...is it?"

Jiang Baofan happily said:

"After the new year, only."

heard.

The leader of the Qingzhou soldiers smiled even more, and glanced coldly at the people of the Sheng family, then patted Jiang Baofan, a farmer, and said with a smile:

"This is the deed of a hundred acres of fertile land under the reward of a hundred generals, and this official naturalization document. You must take good care of it for your Qilin'er."

"Yes, yes, I risk my life, and I will not let others touch these things."

Jiang Baofan blushed with excitement, and quickly patted his chest.

The leader of the Qingzhou soldiers smiled and exchanged a few greetings to get closer, and then took several Qingzhou soldiers away to look for the elders of the township, leaving behind the dull-looking members of the Sheng clan, and...

A bunch of villagers who came to watch the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

"What? Not military, but official!?"

"What kind of general is the civilian husband's independent hundred generals? Could it be that he is an official who is more powerful than the general?"

"Once we get official status, should we change our name to Master Jiang?"

"Uncle Full Food, let me see, what is written on that document?"

Many villagers were full of curiosity, and surrounded the farmer Jiang Baofan, and some even made a move.

"This is my nephew's stuff, don't touch it!"

Jiang Baofan put on a tiger's face, holding the official documents in both hands, and protected them tightly, but the contents of the land deeds were seen by some bratty children who were jumping around and moving their hands and feet.

The only literate child shouted:
"Isn't that the field of Master Sheng's family?"

at once.

The audience fell silent again.

Jiang Baofan was stunned for a while, his face was a little surprised, and he quickly asked the literate villagers to take a look.

Now, everyone can clearly see the content on the land deed.

The location marked in the text is between the left bank of the Pingan River and the Sword Tooth Mountain.

That is... the land owned by Sheng Zhongxian's family.

Upon hearing this.

Sheng Zhongxian panicked immediately, hurriedly pushed through the crowd roughly, and fixed his eyes on Tian Qi.

After seeing the words and the official seal on it clearly, he suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

"Master Sheng!"

The accountant was so frightened that he left Sheng Zhongxian behind and ran away.

When he wakes up again,
The elders of the township, who were leaning on crutches, had already revised all the information on the head of the household in the local field book, and threw a total of 600 taels of silver in front of Sheng Zhongxian, and said indifferently:
"I remember that your family still has more than [-] acres of mountain land. From now on, let's live in the mountains."

Sheng Zhongxian was taken aback for a moment, then turned pale with shock and said:
"My family's irrigated land has a full 120 acres!"

"Jiang Chen, the young... living a good life in the Jiang family, only got one hundred acres of land!"

Although the three elders of the township are nearly sixty years old, they were also Qingzhou soldiers when they were young. The old tiger is very powerful, and he said loudly:

"Where do you get more than 100 acres of land? Remember, your family has exactly [-] acres of land!"

"In addition, write a resignation letter tomorrow, and go to the mountains to be a hunter."

Sheng Zhongxian, the former tax collector, sat on the ground blankly, staring up at the setting sun that was about to set, like a bereaved dog.

…………

sunset.

Gobi thousands of miles away.

Jiang Chen, who was planning the "wilderness hunter", suddenly sneezed several times, frowned and said:

"Who is cursing me?"
