Domineering space queen

Chapter 235
"According to the Queen's wishes, I found three corpses, but they are dead after all. I'm afraid of bad luck and throw them outside the village."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and asked curiously, "Queen, what are you looking for dead people for?"

Li Han was dumbfounded, what corpse, what did Miss do?

Shutong stood up, "Where are you? Bring them all here."

The second master hurriedly ordered his men to go down and drag the dead. Shutong took a look at them, and found that these corpses were very fresh, about the same size as Spike's.

Nod, "Drag me to Nanshan Col!"

Although the Erdangjia was curious, he didn't talk too much, and arranged for someone to drag the corpse to Nanshan Col.

Leaving Li Han struggling, he hesitated for a while, and asked Mrs. Bao, "That Mrs. Bao, what did our lady do with the corpse?"

Lady Bao didn't have time to talk to him, "I don't know!"

Leaving aside Li Han's entanglements, a group of people crossed the streets in Shutong.

Along the way, almost every household closed their courtyard doors tightly.

The villagers are in a state of desperation recently. On the one hand, Li is notifying that the tax will increase by [-]% this year. Everyone feels that there is no way out.

This tax is paid, not only will this year's work be for nothing, but also the savings from previous years will be emptied.

But the imperial court issued an order, and ordinary people like them can't do anything about it.

Frowning, Zhang Xiaoyue brought more bandits back to the village.

Nowadays, the villagers dare not go out if they have nothing to do. These are bandits who kill without batting an eyelid.

The Erdang family was walking in the village and found that every household had their courtyard doors closed, and they smiled triumphantly.

"Queen! The houses in this village are too dilapidated. I'll build you the biggest and most luxurious yard, I'm so envious of them."

In his opinion, of course, how did Homecoming come about?The reason why the Queen is willing to return to this dilapidated village must be as she thought, to show her prestige in front of the villagers.

Then build the most gorgeous yard!
A group of them dragged three corpses to Nanshan Col, where Zhang Dewen was discussing with several clan elders.

The decree of the imperial court has come down, and the yamen servants have been sent to collect taxes from each household in each village. It will be Wangyue Village's turn soon, and everyone gathers together to find a solution.

The white-bearded old patriarch coughed and said, "If you really want to increase the tax by [-]%, don't think about it this year. Dewen, don't you have an idea?"

Zhang Dewen sighed: "Father! What do you want me to do with the decree issued by the imperial court?"

After he finished speaking, he paused again, "Wars are going on everywhere now, and the court is pressing hard. I heard that if there are families in the next few villages who can't pay the money, they will not only arrest people but also burn houses! I don't think so. If you are holding on, hurry back and take care of each family and raise money and food!"

A clan elder sighed: "Dewen is not an excuse, it's just that the tax increase is too much, no one can bear it!"

Zhang Dewen hummed: "If you can't bear it, you have to bear it. Anyway, I have already brought my words. When the yamen servants come to your door, you will not be able to hand them over. Your house will be burned and you will be arrested. Don't blame me for not saying hello in advance."

The old patriarch sighed: "Dewen, is the matter really so serious?"

Zhang Dewen curled his lips, "It's also because our place has not been affected by the flames of war. I heard that some places arrest strong men everywhere, even 60-year-old men. Our side just increases taxes, which is much better than them."

When they heard that the strong men were going to be arrested, the elders of the clan panicked, "How about arresting the strong men? Do you want to let the young and strong go to the mountains to hide?"

Zhang Dewen shook his head and said: "The flames of war in our location have not been affected for a while. Besides, our Wangyue Village is close to Mangshan Mountain and the terrain is remote. We can't send strong men here for the time being."

"Right now, this tax must be paid. The uncles should go back and think about a countermeasure!"

The white-bearded old patriarch sighed: "Dewen has said so, you don't have any confused ideas, go back and collect food for what should be collected, collect money for what should be collected, and don't end up with nothing in the end."

Some people cried poorly, "Patriarch! Our family is old, young, and sick. We really can't make up so much. Why don't you lend me a few taels of silver to support it?"

The patriarch of the white beard gave him a sideways look, "Don't give me a sloppy eye, I don't know if you look at me, do you have any savings in your hands all these years?"

The man was pointed out by him, but he only laughed, and a person beside him suddenly said: "Dewen, I heard that Zhang Xiaoyue does not need to pay taxes, is this true or false?"

Others also hurriedly looked over, Zhang Xiaoyue had the most fields in her hands, if she didn't pay taxes, wouldn't the others be excited?

Zhang Dewen said with a wry smile: "We can't compare with Xiaoyue, she has a backer, and the county magistrate has specially taken care of her, so there is no need to go to her house to collect taxes."

Hearing his reply, everyone's eyes were hot, "Dewen, Xiaoyue has such a backer, why didn't you tell me earlier? She is also a member of our Zhang clan, why don't you come forward and ask her to intercede with us and let her Let's get tax free too!"

Zhang Dewen raised this opinion with Shu Tong in a fever that day, but he got a sneer and felt chills all over his body at that time.

Afterwards, he regretted countless times, and repeatedly said good things in front of Li Han. Although Li Han said that Xiaoyue didn't take it to heart, he was also embarrassing and didn't dare to show his face.

Hearing this now, he couldn't help but blacken his face, and hummed: "I think you are delusional! Why should Xiaoyue help you?"

The man was not annoyed, and snorted: "It's just a matter of one sentence. They are all relatives and relatives. They should work together. Besides, she is an orphan girl whose parents have died. She will marry in the future. Why don't we The people of the tribe stand behind them."

Zhang Dewen sneered and said, "It's fine to talk about it in my house, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside."

"Dewen, what your second uncle said is also reasonable, why do you bother?" The white beard patriarch was dissatisfied.

"Xiaoyue is not in the past. When she went to Lianhua Mountain, she took in a group of bandits. Even the county magistrate dared not offend her. Just let everyone live in peace, and don't run to the door to find yourself uncomfortable." Zhang Dewen reminded.

"What is this uncomfortable? She is originally from the Zhang family, shouldn't she contribute to the family?" Some people were not convinced.

Zhang Dewen snorted, "What members of the Zhang family? When Xiaoyue was bullied by the Wang family, she didn't get help from her clan. That is to say, Xiaoyue didn't complain, and even paid for the clan to build ancestral halls and open wineries. She was more willing to give half of it." The proceeds come out. What else do you want?"

"I advise everyone not to push too hard, so as not to annoy Xiaoyue, and then take back the benefits, that's called a slap in the face!"

After hearing this, everyone was embarrassed, but there were still some people who did not give up.

"Dewen! We are not forcing Xiaoyue, but just asking her to talk to her. Maybe Xiaoyue is willing to help?"

Zhang Dewen's face was dark, "Do you think I didn't mention it? But Xiaoyue didn't answer at all, I don't have the face to ask for it anymore!"

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "The second head of Lianhua Mountain has brought a large group of bandits, I advise you all to be honest at home, and stay at home if you can, so as not to cause trouble again. "
