The people on both sides fanned more and more vigorously, and the sand directly hit the faces of several officials.

Even the dog couldn't open his eyes.

What the hell are these guys doing?How did you get so much sand without being afraid of being seen?
Just as an official was about to speak, his mouth was filled with sand.

"Bah, bah, bah! Where is this place? Get out of here!"

Gouzi had no choice but to keep on his way with his eyes squinted, until he hid under a big tree, and the situation got a little better.

The official who asked Gouzi what the villagers eat in the bullock cart was called Niu Zhiquan, and the other two called him Lao Niu.

But obviously these people couldn't talk to him.

According to Gouzi's observation, this bull official is not bad-tempered, and he also looks down on the actions of those two people.

So Gouzi decided to take advantage of this and come up with a divorce plan.

The person who wanted to steal Gouzi Diniu before was called Li Er, and the other was called Wang Wu.

They are a pair of cousins, no wonder their temperaments are so similar.

Li Er looked at the clothes just washed yesterday, which were messed up by sand, his face turned blue, and he shouted angrily: "What's going on in your village? Are you bluffing us? There won't be such a big sandstorm here. !"

Gouzi's heart tightened, thinking that he had been discovered, he said quickly: "It wasn't like this in the village before, but there was no food in recent months, and the villagers could only eat the surrounding tree leaves and haystacks. Naturally, there are few places that can shelter from the wind and sand. gone."

Li Er looked at him suspiciously, always felt that something was wrong, so he patted the sand on his body, and was about to check around.

Gouzi secretly thought badly.

At this time, Niu Zhiquan came out suddenly, with a hint of impatience on his face, and urged: "Let's do things quickly, and go back as soon as possible!"

These two people had relatives working in the county government office, so they were forced in. Otherwise, in this famine period, how could such a useless person find a job?
When they arrived at the county government office, they didn't do their jobs well, and they wandered around like street gangsters as a whole.

So he can't see them, and they can't see him.

He thinks he is putting on an act and is extremely hypocritical, and he doesn't bother to argue with them at all.

Moreover, the new food tax issued this time is nothing short of nonsense. The people have no food, and instead of providing relief, the imperial court wants to exploit the people again, simply forcing people to die.

There is also an old mother in his family, and fortunately the county government distributes monthly silver, otherwise it would be a problem for the two of them to survive.

But I didn't expect that this time it turned out that he and those two people came to the village to collect the grain tax. Although they were reluctant, there was nothing they could do.

Li Er didn't like Niu Zhiquan for a long time, so he walked over arrogantly, with a cheap expression on his face, and looked up and down Niu Zhiquan with his triangular eyes, reached out and patted his face, and said, "What are you? ? Order us both?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Gouzi huddled beside him and pretended to be a transparent person, but a pair of excited eyes appeared under the straw hat.

Hehe, there is no need for him to sow discord.

A stern look flashed in Niu Zhiquan's eyes, and he smiled angrily, and stretched out his hand to block Li Er's arm.

"Why? Just because I am your leader!"

That's right, he has worked in the county government for several years, so he has certain qualifications.

The above stuffed these two related accounts to him.

Unexpectedly, those two people were not afraid at all, and laughed wildly, "Boss? What are you, you still want to be our boss?"

Niu Zhiquan clenched his fists angrily when he heard this, wishing he could hit the two of them in the face in the next second.

Gouzi was almost finished watching the play, so he came out to play sloppy and surrounded Niu Zhiquan.

"Masters, shall we still go?"

It was still the look of shrinking and fear, but it calmed down the fighting between the two sides.

Li Er and Wang Wu snorted coldly, squinted at Gou Zi and said, "You useless thing!"

After the two left, Gouzi came to Niu Zhiquan's side and said with a smile, "Master, let's go too."

Niu Zhiquan withdrew his gaze, looked at Gouzi with complicated eyes, pursed his lips, and said, "Thank you."

Gouzi left the cow outside the village and walked in with a few people.

Several people hiding around also changed positions.

Xiong Er commanded: "Hurry up! Get some more sand, they won't be fascinated!"

Old Xu felt that he was standing next to him and stopped him: "Don't! They have entered the village now. There are so many houses in the village, it is useless even if the wind and sand can blow in. There are many outside the village. Don't be noticed by them. It’s enough to cover a place.”

Old Xu's temper was relatively calm, and he never forgot the tasks assigned by Chu Junze.

It has to be said that it is a clever idea to use wind and sand to cover the wheat.

A few people over there had already arrived inside the village. Li Er saw that there was no one around, so he couldn't help asking: "Where are the people in your village?"

Gouzi turned his head and said: "Our village is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, most of them stay at home. If the officials collect grain tax, they will bother to go into the house and go door to door to collect it."

Wang Wu only shouted bad luck, and sat down on the spot boldly.

"I don't care about the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled! Tell them to come out quickly!"

Gouzi's eyes darkened, but he promised again and again, and ran away in a hurry.

Niu Zhiquan saw that the two of them were still acting like this, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Li Er looked at his back and sneered, and said to Wang Wu: "This man is really an eyesore, let uncle find an excuse for him another day!"

Wang Wudao didn't care much, and said, "No need, anyway, uncle let us follow him to replace him in the future, what's the rush, let him be proud for a while."

It is said that Gouzi made a detour here before meeting up with Xiong Er and the others.

Make a puking look in front of them.

"I'm so pissed off. Those two officials are really inhumane. They're just playing with their temper, showing off their prestige, and they still want my cow!"

Good guy, several people around looked at each other in blank dismay, who didn't know that Gouzi's cow was his life, and still wanted to make this idea.

Gouzi also gritted his teeth in hatred, "See how I fix them!"

After speaking, he ran back again.

At the same time, I also brought a few old people and children over, which had been arranged a long time ago, and I knew exactly what drama to play and what to say.

Li Er and Wang Wu watched Gouzi bring back a group of old people and children, their faces darkened.

"It's really old and weak."

When I got closer, I found that everyone was dragging a small bag of things behind them.

Li Er immediately showed the official's score, "Is the food ready?"

"According to the law, you should hand over [-] kilograms of grain, and this bag is not enough."

In fact, the imperial court only needed ten kilograms, and they doubled it themselves.

If in the past, ten kilograms was not much, or a lot less, but now, it is the ration of a family for a month, let alone twenty kilograms.
