Chapter 497

Ying Mo patted the other party's shoulder, then left gracefully.

Leaving only one sentence behind.

"Rest assured, I won't make any mistakes in what I do."

Ying Mo went straight to Heihu County all the way.

On this journey, Ying Mo's speed was very fast.

Of course, Ying Mo was also calculating in his heart, after arriving at Heihu County, where should he start?

This time, Ying Mo was going to find the Blood Blade Sect Master and also to investigate the local conditions of Heihu County.

It could be said that he had relatively cumbersome tasks, so he prepared to investigate the local conditions first.

Then, while he was at it, he would go and deal with the Blood Blade Sect's matter...

At this moment, on the other side, Heihu County.

Heihu County was not peaceful today.

In a house by the street, a strong sound of fighting came.

Various hoes used for farming were thrown out, and several women and children were also pushed to the ground.

A strong man was in action with several government soldiers wearing uniforms.

At this moment, the strong man spoke loudly.

"I'm telling you, if you dare to take this grain away, then I will fight you to the death."

At this moment, quite a few people were standing around, and they were all observing this scene.

At this moment, although their complexions were somewhat bad, no one dared to stand up and resist.

The reason was that today, the Heihu County Magistrate suddenly demanded an increase in taxes.

He demanded that more grain and money be handed over on the original basis.

If there was no money, then grain had to be given.

But for the local people, these were all very difficult things.

After all, they were just ordinary people, and being able to keep a little bit of the harvest at the end of the year was already considered very good.

1.3 There were even many households that needed to rely on the relief of other families to successfully survive.

It could be said that they were all living in a precarious state, but such a life was relatively stable.

But today, the Heihu County Magistrate actually wanted to increase taxes.

He had collected a large amount of local money and grain again, which naturally stimulated a sense of resistance.

Even if there were some families that still had quite a bit of grain—

—these families had also spent a lot of time to accumulate it.

But they had to hand it over for nothing, which naturally made them feel unwilling in their hearts.

580, Issued an order, simple and brutal! (Seeking subscription!)

And for those who originally had none—

—the Magistrate issued an order, and the government soldiers under him did such things, naturally not leaving a way for these families to survive.

So naturally, things of resistance appeared.

Those few government soldiers held knives in their hands.

Their faces carried a fierce look, and the one standing on the side was the Magistrate's Private Secretary.

He was mainly responsible for this temporary collection.

At this moment, he came over and spoke to the strong man: "This is the Magistrate's order."

"I'm telling you, if you dare to defy the Magistrate's order, then I think you should know the final outcome."

"When the time comes, if you are thrown into the heavenly prison, don't blame me for not reminding you. 15"

"When the time comes, it won't just be you; your whole family will probably be very miserable."

Upon hearing this, the strong man's complexion changed instantly.

He did not expect that the other party would actually start threatening him, and the other party's threat was so real.

The other party indeed had this ability.

Still at this moment, only the strong man was heard speaking: "You insult my wife and children, rob me of my grain, and don't give us a chance to live."

"Why shouldn't we resist?"

After the Private Secretary heard this sentence, he hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"You still want to argue here, right?"

"Then go to hell; come, take action directly."

"This stubborn commoner actually dares to be so arrogant and domineering in front of us; that is completely defying the King's law."

Upon hearing this, the strong man suddenly became panicked.

He did not expect that the other party would take action without agreeing, but he had been forced into a dead end.

Since the other party wanted to take action, he also wanted to take action.

But how could he be the opponent of those government soldiers?

A government soldier rushed up, held his hoe with the weapon in his hand.

Then the remaining few government soldiers directly pressed him to the ground.

With brutal methods, punching and kicking, before long, the man's face was swollen in several places, and the whole person was dizzy.

He looked as if he only had one breath left as he lay on the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing, people would have thought he was dead.

"Publicly defying the King's law is the outcome." The Private Secretary shouted loudly at this moment.

Actually, the Private Secretary was also particularly helpless in his heart.

This order was only issued today.

If he could, he also did not want to go against the local people, but the Magistrate had already issued the order.

This was a relatively important task; if he could not complete the task, then the one the Magistrate would punish would be him.

So there was no way, he could only do it according to the Magistrate's order, so he was also particularly firm in his heart.

As long as he could beat one into submission, then the others naturally would not dare to resist, so he was playing this idea.

This was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

Sure enough, the people nearby were trembling with fear after hearing these words.

They knew that there was no such King's law under the heavens.

But they did not dare to stand up and resist.

Because the other party could deal with them at will; if they dared to come out and refute, then the next miserable one would be them.

So under such circumstances, they could be said to be particularly uncomfortable.

For a whole morning, the Private Secretary was doing this work.

They did not give up on any household.

For those with a lot of money, they collected as usual.

For those with little money, they collected forcibly.

For those with no money, they directly beat people, under the guise of establishing prestige.

It had to be said that the Private Secretary's method appeared relatively brutal, but it was very effective.

By noon, he returned to the County Government Office.

At this time, the Magistrate was basking in the sun inside the County Government Office.

"How did the matter go?"

The Magistrate asked directly after knowing the Private Secretary had returned.

After hearing these words, the Private Secretary gave a chuckle, walked over, and said, "According to our expectations, the good plan is being executed step by step."

"But Magistrate, I discovered a problem."

"This problem is very serious; if it is not solved, I am afraid it will be a hidden danger for our Heihu 097 County."

This sentence aroused the suspicion of the Heihu County Magistrate.

He sat up immediately and asked: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

After the Private Secretary heard this, he spoke.

"Today, when I was collecting grain, I discovered that many people were unwilling to hand over the grain."
