Chapter 121: Forcibly Collecting Taxes, Simple and Brutal

In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Xiao Ren slaughtered the Fang family!

He also inventoried the property, which was a bit less than the Mi family's.

But they were still dripping with oil.

It was Fang Ba's own fault for being used to tyranny, otherwise he wouldn't have been exterminated.

The steward came to deliver the news out of kindness, but the result was shocking.

Hopefully, the Chen family will be obedient later.

Otherwise, even if they are relatives, they won't be able to escape extermination.

Xiao Ren arranged for people to take the money away and also arranged for people to notify the County Magistrate to record the fertile land.

So it could be distributed to the commoners for farming.

"Let's go, to the Chen family!"

Xiao Ren left the Fang family mansion with his soldiers.

The Chen family mansion.

Because there was plenty of time, the Chen family had already received the news.

The Mi family and the Fang family refused to pay taxes and were exterminated!

The moment the Chen family learned this news, they were almost scared into fleeing.

The Chen family could be said to be the weakest in the county.

But the two strongest families were exterminated, the kind where the entire clan is executed! Would their Chen family be far behind?

Just as the Chen family wanted to flee the county, a steward told the Master a secret.

The person who led the men to exterminate the Mi and Fang families was none other than Xiao Ren.

When the Master of the Chen family learned this news, he didn't flee anymore.

After all, they were relatives; how could a relative lead men to exterminate his own relative's clan?

The Master of the Chen family took his family, and everyone stood at the mansion gate waiting for Xiao Ren's arrival.

When Xiao Ren arrived at the Chen mansion with his soldiers, he was also stunned to see over a hundred people standing at the gate.

Before Xiao Ren could speak, the Master of the Chen family spoke first.

"Master Xiao, you've finally arrived!"

"I've already had the taxes calculated."

"It's a total of 3.1 million coins; the extra 100,000 coins are a tribute to you officials for your hard work."

"Men! Hurry and bring the money up!"

As soon as the Master of the Chen family finished speaking, several servants brought out several chests.

When the chests were opened on the ground, they were filled with money.

Xiao Ren was somewhat surprised; these relatives must have received the news.

Before they even arrived, the Chen family had prepared the taxes.

Collecting taxes by force is truly simple and fast!

"By the way, Master Xiao, the Chen family has thirty thousand mu of fertile land and is willing to give up fifteen thousand for the local commoners to farm."

"I hope Master Xiao will not make things difficult for the Chen family."

The Master of the Chen family was very polite, his heart pounding wildly.

He was really afraid that Xiao Ren would be unhappy and directly slaughter the Chen family.

Now, in front of so many people, he didn't dare call him "relative"; it was safer to call him "Master Xiao."

"Relative, your attitude has truly done a 180-degree turn."

"Did you receive the news just now?"

Xiao Ren looked at the Master of the Chen family with a smile.

He signaled for the soldiers to inventory the property; after all, this wasn't for his own home.

It had to be turned over to the government treasury; if anything was missing, he would have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

"I just received the news; the Mi and Fang families didn't know what was good for them and dared not to pay taxes—they deserved to die!"

"Fortunately, Master Xiao came personally this time, otherwise my Chen family would be in danger."
