Chapter 145: [Cruel Official]

...

Then both old men wrote down Ao Wu's words and handed over whatever they wanted, as long as they were not without evidence.

This makes it difficult for the two old men.

The people around him look at the Ao family like fools. If you want to pay these stupid accounts, just pay them, they won’t pay them.

But not long after, the pace of life suddenly changed.

Cool tax, cruel official!

Faced with heavy taxes, the whole country is in the same atmosphere and is unwilling to pay more taxes.

As the emperor above, Yang Guang, of course, had a bad face, so he ordered the officials to collect the taxes and the person who did not pay the taxes until they were handed over.

If you don't hand over, you can be arrested and imprisoned, sent to the army, serve, and the most serious beheading.

So a strong wind blew across the Sui Dynasty, with the most serious area in Shandong.

All the people who resisted and landlords were affected. Not only were the people beaten, but the officials rushed in and snatched the food.

What you hand over is different from what you are stolen.

It is conceivable how many officials are fat.

The official officer has such a fat job, so of course he becomes more and more excited as he does.

So the consequences became even worse, and I don’t know how many families were destroyed for a while.

Almost every family has something to do, but the Ao family has nothing to do, because the two elders are very cooperative, and the evil officials want to make trouble, but there is no trouble to find.

After a period of time, most people recognized the facts and could only pay taxes honestly.

In this way, there will be fewer things, and the county magistrate can pay the transaction to the superiors even after receiving the tax.

Some people don’t have much food in their homes and may not be able to eat it until the next harvest, but this is just a hidden danger and will not happen immediately.

This temporary stability period has not lasted for long, and the emperor has given new orders to build ships in Donglai and conquer the powerful men of Qilu.

Before the cold winter has passed, I have to go into the water. I am afraid that there will be no return, so many people are unwilling to go.

The imperial court has the previous precedent, and this time it becomes "smart" and those who dare to escape will fight to the death. Aren’t you unwilling to pay the tax when paying the tax? Once you continue to be strict, don’t you pay it obediently? Now you have to use people and continue to be strict, and someone will still serve!

The court issued a desperate order, and the prefect had to put the pressure on the county magistrate. For the sake of his head, the county magistrate forced the people to death.

Those who dare to escape will be arrested and killed, and the whole family will be locked up.

Under the double pressure, the lives of the people of Qi and Lu became more and more difficult, and the situation Ao Wu saw when he entered the city.

"Grandma, in this situation, don't resist the county government. You should pay whatever you want and don't be afraid of heavy taxes. If the official officer starts a random project, you can go to Dr. Zhong and let him make a clear understanding with the county magistrate."

"By the way, our family is this recruitment?" He suddenly thought of the recruitment and asked.

Lao Fengtou said: "You are the only male at home, not under the recruitment."

It seems that the laws of this court still talk about human nature and morality. Those who know that only one child will not be sent to the battlefield and will be killed.

This made Ao Wu feel even more relieved.

He finally ordered: "If the situation in the future is worse, then you should not be reluctant to let go of these family businesses. You must not be able to take them when you can't. You should not have any pressure to think about it. Just go to the Zhong family, do you know?"

Listening to his instructions so seriously, the old lady looked worried: "Son, will you not stay at home for long if you say this?"

"Don't worry, I'll come back if I have time, and I'll spend most of my time on Mount Tai." Ao Wu also thought about taking them up the mountain, but life on the mountain was inconvenient, so I'd better forget it.

When the old lady heard that the old man was not around, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Lao Fengtou stopped drinking: "What are you crying? You will always come back if you come back!"

He turned to look at Ao Wu, as if he wanted to ask what Ao Wu was doing, but he still didn't ask in the end.

After these things were discussed, the old lady remembered Zhong Qing. She was a good wife, but now she suddenly disappeared. Didn’t she let Ao Wu lose his wife?

"Son, I heard that before Qing Niang left, she had a bad relationship with you and had a fuss. Now she is not here, I think if she wants it..." The old lady remembered the girl who followed Ao Wu last time, "I think the girl who followed you is pretty good..."

"She's only nine..."

Ao Wu was about to say that the girl was only nine years old and was still a princess. First, she had several generations of age, and second, she had several gutters of identity!

But before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly sounded from the door outside!

"Open the door, open the door quickly!"

The sound was bad and fierce, and the door was knocked strongly.

The three people in the room were stunned. Old Fengtou stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

He said as he picked up a stick from the door.

A thud came from outside, the gate of the courtyard fell, and then more than a dozen people rushed in.

Ao Wu walked out of the house and saw that the officials rushed in. The four people in front were the officials who met outside the city in the morning.

Their faces were all black, and it seemed that Li Yuanba had a good grasp of his hands!

When they saw Ao Wu, they immediately pointed and shouted: "It's him, it's him who helped the fugitive escape!"

After swiping, all the officials drew their swords and looked at Ao Wu, as if they were going to fight against the cheating on the spot!

"What are you going to do? This is my son!" Lao Feng was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Ao Wu!

A detective was stunned and looked at it. Only Old Man Ao’s son could be so evil!

"But he beat the official officer and he has to go back with us!" said the constable.

The man who was beaten to the point of being too beaten said viciously: "The Ao family has a son, and two males should catch one of them to serve!"

He waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, arrest him!"

Eight or nine officials rushed forward with swords and wanted to capture Ao Wu.

But as a gust of wind blew, all of these people fell to the ground and moaned.

Ao Wu clapped his hands and said, "I want to cause trouble for me, are you thinking that your life is short?"

The person who led the lead lost several teeth again and fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

The few officials who did not take action all looked at Ao Wu in horror.

"I live in the Zhong family and want to come to me there." Ao Wu said to him.

The detective swallowed his saliva and hurriedly helped the injured people out.

Ao Wu helped the gate of the courtyard up and repaired it briefly. After installing it, he gave a few instructions to the two elders, so that they didn't have to worry, so he rode back to the Zhong family on a horse.

He told Doctor Zhong about the Sanlitun incident. Although he was not afraid of trouble, he also wanted to let the Zhong family take care of the two elders.

"This county government is becoming more and more arbitrary!" Doctor Zhong was so angry that he hit the table and said.

"Awu, don't worry, I will watch the Ao family, and there will be no accident." Dr. Zhong said to Ao Wu.

Then, he called the housekeeper and asked him to go to the county government office to explain the words clearly to the county magistrate.
