Chapter 302 It's Absolutely Unreasonable!

The person following Chu Ze and the others appeared after the banquet in the Su Mansion.

Been following them for days.

And there's more than one.

In the barracks, there are a few unremarkable soldiers.

Outside the barracks, these people dressed up like ordinary people in the city.

Pretending to follow Chu Ze from afar.

On the first day they followed Chu Ze, they were discovered by Chu Ze.

But he didn't scare the snake, but he looked like he didn't know anything, wandering around in the barracks.

As for Lan Yu's claim that he was fooling around in the barracks, he also took this opportunity to inquire about the situation in Ningxia.

The people in this barracks were not only taken away by Lan Yu from Yingtian, but also the garrison in Ningxia.

These people know the situation in Ningxia best.

Chu Ze had already inquired about the situation in Yinchuan, but now was not the time to clean up Su Zhen.

Two days ago, news came from Zhu Xi that there was more than one adult who provided shelter for Su Zhen and others in Yingtian Mansion, and behind that adult was a fish.

But the fish was hidden deep.

When there was a slight movement on Zhu Xi's side, he took the initiative to cut off all the clues.

As a result, they haven't found out who that person is until now.

Zhu Biao asked him to write a letter to Chu Ze, asking him to lure Su Zhen again, so that they could catch them all.

It is easy to lure Su Zhen, but the problem is that Chu Ze needs an opportunity now.

Chu Ze was strolling casually in the street, his brows furrowed as the common people looked worried.

Forget it, let's go shopping elsewhere.

Just in time to see what is going on in the land surrounded by Su Zhen and the others.

Chu Ze inquired and walked in the direction the man pointed.

After not walking far, Chu Ze saw a large fertile field.

Crops are planted in the fields, and workers are working in the fields.

Wei Chan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once described Yinchuan in a poem like this: "Orchards are formed under the Helan Mountain, and the south of the river in the northern part of the country is famous in the old days."

Now it seems true.

It's just a pity that all these good things have been taken up by bullies and corrupt officials.

Chu Ze stood in the field for a while, then turned and walked to the other side.

When he came over just now, he saw two hunched figures from a distance, working slowly in the field.

But that area is not like fertile land.

Chu Ze went around and said, "Old man." The expressions of the old couple changed, and their trembling bodies realized that they were about to kneel down.

Chu Ze hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Don't be afraid, we are just passers-by. Let's see you... a piece of rock and not much soil. What can you grow from this?" It wasn't Chu Ze who said, his yard The little soil here is more than the soil here.

These seeds are sprinkled, an absolute waste.

When they heard what Chu Ze said, they looked up at him.

Seeing his amiable appearance and not being accompanied by guards holding water and fire sticks, he believed his words.

They picked up the bags that fell on the ground, continued to bend down to sow, and sighed: "What can we do? If you plant, you will get something. If you don't plant, you will not be able to live."

Before living, even if there is a piece of rock in front of them, they will find a way to make it grow food.

Chu Ze frowned and asked, "Is the food grown on this land enough?"

"How can it be possible." The old man smiled wryly, and the old voice sounded sadly, "When it is food money, gods and Buddha money, and treasury money, he almost emptied his family. But what can we do? One day, we have to pay taxes, and we have to eat. This kind of planting is somewhat hopeful, but if we don’t plant it, we will just wait to die.”

Chu Ze was stunned, and turned his head to ask Zhao Si: "What are these people who eat money from gods and Buddhas?"

He had never heard of it.

Zhao Si must have heard of some of these.

"The money for food is the money needed to transport the food for the people and horses along the way; the money for the warehouse is the management fee for the warehouse; the money for the gods and Buddhas is the worship of the gods and Buddhas along the river to bless the road. incense money."

Chu Ze was shocked.

"You also need to pay for these things?!"

Zhao Si nodded: "Collect, in addition to these, there is also a bamboo basket fee in some places, which is the bamboo basket for collecting the collected money."

"But shouldn't these all be handled by the government?" When did the people need to share it? ?
"That's why it's called exorbitant taxes." Zhao Si concluded.

Chu Ze: "...that sums it up really well."

Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are four words, which is absolutely correct.

"Old man, you fucking want to die, don't you! Who told you to sow seeds here? Brothers, let me arrest them and send them to the yamen to lock them up!" A group of vicious officials quickly chased the old couple away. surrounded.

As soon as the big iron chain was taken out, the couple's faces turned pale with fright, and they kept kneeling on the ground and begging.

"My lord, my lord, I beg you to spare us. We just want to have more things, so we can pay more food in the coming year."

Before the old woman finished speaking, she was slapped hard on the face.

"Damn it, you don't know if your old bones will survive next year. I see that you guys are clearly trying to take advantage of the imperial court and occupy the public property! You want to be in this kind of land, right? Then pay the money." , as long as you pay the money, not to mention here, I will let you plant all of this land, and I don’t care.” The leader stretched out his hand and shook in front of the two old couples, “Pay it, I paid the money, I don’t care. Release them immediately, or I will send you to prison immediately! I just don’t know, you old bones, you can stay there for a few days.”

Seeing this, Chu Ze was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing!

This group of bullying things actually bully the weak!

It's simply unreasonable, there is no law of the king!
"Damn it, I'm going to beat you up today!" Chu Ze took out the gun at his waist with his backhand, loaded it neatly, aimed at the official's calf, and sternly said, "Stop it!"

The blood exploded, and the official's face turned pale from the pain, and he fell to the ground with a plop, crying loudly.

The leader was all shot by the opponent, who can guarantee that the next shot will not fall on himself? !

The guards looked at Chu Ze vigilantly, fearful and fearful, "Who are you to attack the guards? Do you want to die!"

"I think it's you who want to die!" Chu Ze pointed at the heads of these officers with a gun, and cursed, "A bunch of bastards, they are so big in vain, they don't even respect the most basic respect for the old and love the young!" I don’t know. Hurry up and let me go.”

The gun in Chu Ze's hand was too intimidating, and the group of guards had to obey.

The old couple got away and thanked Chu Ze a thousand times.

Chu Ze waved his hand: "Leave quickly." He was worrying about how to hook Su Zhen, but this group of dogs actually gave him the opportunity.

Not at this time, when will it be.

Chu Ze raised his chin slightly and ordered: "Take me to see your lord immediately."
