Chapter 94 The Last Straw ([-])
The government came to arrest people, and all the members of the Renyi Society who were supposed to be at home rushed there spontaneously.Chenjiacun was influenced by the Renyi Society, and most of them are people with a sense of justice.

Many people also followed closely after the members of the Renyihui set off.

Even women and widows are not excluded.

They took their children and held wooden sticks, and went to the strong together.

It didn't take long for members of the Renyi Society who knew how to lighten kung fu to arrive at the scene.

As far as the eye can see, there are nearly a hundred officers and soldiers standing at the entrance of Chenjiacun, waiting in full force.

Several officers and soldiers led by them entered the village and forcibly dragged a young man.

The young mother pulled back, trying to snatch her son back from the officers and soldiers.

But how could she be the opponent of so many big men?
The result was that she was pulled and fell to the ground.

Reluctant to let go, she was forcibly dragged for a short distance, crying and begging for mercy: "My lord, please let my son go! Didn't you pay the tax for exempting the corvee? Why do you want to arrest my son?" Ah~"

"Get out! If you don't let go, don't blame us for being rude!!"

Seeing this, Chen Jinlan stepped over a few times, and immediately stopped both sides: "Officer, wait a minute! If you have something to say, speak slowly, and please let this young man go first."

Seeing that it was Chen Jinlan, the officer frowned slightly, and immediately signaled his companions to let him go with his eyes.

Seeing this, the young mother quickly pulled her son back to her side.

Holding his son and crying.

Only then did Chen Jinlan bow his hands politely: "My lord, I don't know what happened to this mother and son? Is it necessary to trouble the lord to send out so many troops to forcefully arrest them?"

The attitude of the officers and soldiers was very tough: "Master Chen, I am not afraid to tell you that there is an imperial decree handed down from Wangcheng that every village must hand over at least 20 people from 50 to 100 years old, regardless of whether you pay taxes or not! So , not only the young man in front of you, Chen Family Village has to hand over 99 people! I advise you Renyi Society not to meddle in other people's business! Otherwise, you will be against the entire imperial court!"

Hearing this, Chen Jinlan's face suddenly turned ugly.

In the past, when he dealt with these officials and lords, he could accommodate or negotiate.

I didn't expect the government's attitude to be so tough this time.

Chen Jinlan thought for a while, and asked again: "Master, can you tell Chen why Wang Cheng gave this order?"

The official sneered, and proudly said: "Oh, so you know! Do you know why Chechi Kingdom has a good harvest after spring? Why was there a bumper harvest last season?"

Chen Jinlan looked surprised.

The good weather and good harvest have something to do with this matter?
He really didn't know that.

Seeing Chen Jinlan's ignorant face, the officer and soldier was even more frightened.Looking at Chen Jinlan's eyes, it was as if he was looking at a country bumpkin.

"That's because your Majesty loves the people like a son, and you have invited eminent monks to hold water and land meetings to pray for God, and we got a response, so we have such a good day with good weather." Longing and obsession.

But suddenly the style of painting changed, his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he reprimanded Chen Jinlan: "Otherwise, where do you think you are getting such a good life now, huh?! I really think it's God's beauty, and God has mercy on you muddy legs Sons?! If God is really merciful, why did you not see God merciful to you in the last two harvests? Isn’t it thanks to the king and eminent monks?!”

Chen Jinlan was greatly surprised.

He didn't expect that there was such a reason behind the good weather during this period.

Now it will be difficult.

When it comes to gods, even he can't make up his mind.

After all, people in this era are still very superstitious.

"Then... Guan Ye, the reason you came to arrest people this time is because..."

The officers and soldiers bowed their hands to the sky again, but they stared at Chen Jinlan with unfriendly expressions: "Your Majesty has an order. In order to thank the eminent monk for praying to the sky for the people of Chechi Kingdom, a Zhiyuan Temple is specially built for it! This time I will take everyone back to the royal city. To help build the temple!
So you should feel lucky to be able to contribute to the monastery!

Maybe you will get a fortune because of it.

Otherwise, if the gods blamed it and caused the entire Chechi country to face drought again, your Chenjiacun was wiped out ten times that time and it would not be enough to make amends! "

heard here.

The woman who was still holding her son and crying, suddenly became excited: "No! I don't want my son to leave! I don't want it!"

In fact, no wonder women are so excited.

Because of the compulsory corvée in ancient times, let’s not talk about it without pay, and you even have to prepare your own food, and dead people are even more common.

And the place where he served this time is still as far away as Wangcheng.

Once you come and go, the risk is even greater.

It was understandable that she didn't want her son to go.

However, there are extenuating circumstances and extenuating circumstances, but Chen Jinlan is in trouble here.

He didn't know what else he could do.

Is it possible to bring Chenjiacun to revolt now and fight against the court?

What is the difference between that and death?
It doesn't need much, as long as Xiannan City brings in two thousand guards now, it is enough to destroy them back and forth several times.

At this moment, the violent-tempered member of the Renyi Society couldn't help rushing forward and said, "Damn it! You say that the merits of the eminent monks are the merits of the eminent monks?! Last year when our village was starving and freezing, Didn’t see the eminent monk again?! Where were they at that time?!”

Immediately afterwards, another member stepped forward and said, "That's right! Brother Lan, every time you go to serve in Wangcheng, how many of them can come back safely? This time we must not let them go! At worst, we will fight with them!"

Accompanied by the sound of resistance sounded one after another.

More and more villagers gathered together.

The momentum of Chenjiacun's side gradually became stronger.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers, who were not so powerful just now, can't help but move back slowly, with a dignified expression.

"Master Chen, have you thought about it? What will be the consequences of going against the court? I don't need to tell you, you should know it, right?"

"I'm afraid of you motherfucker!"

"At worst, he will be a hero again in 18 years!"

The noise kept coming and going, making Chen Jinlan's head hurt.

He suddenly shouted: "Enough!"

Immediately afterwards, the audience fell silent for an instant.

Chenjiacun and Renyihui all looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

The officers and soldiers couldn't help swallowing, waiting for his reply.The nervous ones even clenched their spears, ready to fight.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that Chen Jinlan would say a sentence that pleased the officers and soldiers and disappointed the brothers: "Let them take people away!"

"Brother Lan...!"

"I said! Let them take people away!"

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time resumed their arrogant and domineering appearance.

Needless to say, it was naturally the young men of Chenjiacun who were brought out one by one.Of course, due to the affection of the Renyihui, the officers and soldiers no longer forced the selection, but let Chenjiacun select volunteers.

After the incident, 100 strong men left with the officers and soldiers.

As for Chenjiacun, the atmosphere of the whole day has become extremely heavy.

Everyone is in the mood to talk...
