Chapter 498

"Then you beat them; those who don't hand over grain are defying orders, they are stubborn commoners, just beat them to death." The Magistrate naturally blurted out.

After the Private Secretary heard this, he spoke helplessly: "But I feel that we have increased taxes, and they simply cannot give that much."

"In this way, wouldn't we be collecting a lot of money? This is a great oppression for the local people."

"They are in a bad mood; what if something bad happens? What should we do then?"

"Magistrate, we are going to live here for a long time; many people have already been unable to hold on."

After the Magistrate heard this sentence, he fell into a deep thought.

But then he sighed again.

581, Bet the whole fortune, family broken and dead! (Seeking subscription!)

You must know that this time, the Heihu County Magistrate had bet his whole fortune to gather enough money for the Blood Blade Sect Master.

He had also bet his whole fortune.

Since his money had gone out, he naturally would not give up.

He naturally wanted to suck blood from those people and suck back all his losses.

He would not care about the life or death of those people.

After all, the people were the people, and he was him.

So at this moment, he was also particularly resolute and did not want to care about more things at all.

Under such circumstances, only this Magistrate was heard speaking: "This situation is also helpless."

"In the afternoon, you collect a little less."

"But no matter what, you must reach the task volume I want; otherwise, continue collecting."

After saying this, the Magistrate directly fell asleep again.

When the Private Secretary saw this scene, he could not help but feel particularly helpless.

This was also a helpless matter.

However, the Private Secretary was only worried on the surface and did not think deeper.

In his heart, such a practice would at most cause those people to complain.

But in the end, they did not dare to resist.

As long as those people did not resist, then he could still act recklessly on his side, which had no great impact on him.

And because of the few examples in the morning, they collected even more easily.

Those few families that were beaten by them directly changed from a perfect little family to a broken and dead one.

The strong man died, so the others found it even harder to survive.

A family was destroyed by them just like that.

But they could not care about so much at all.

In the afternoon, they were still forcibly collecting grain and money.

Their speed was particularly fast.

And by the afternoon, Ying Mo had already arrived in Heihu County.

Inside Heihu County.

The flow of people in Heihu County was still relatively large.

Ying Mo followed the crowd and entered this Heihu County directly.

Ying Mo's appearance looked like an ordinary farmer.

However, just after entering the city.

He saw an extremely bad scene.

He only saw a group of people standing in front of a family.

This group of people wore uniforms and carried knives.

They were clearly government soldiers; this group of people looked at the family before them.

The leader shouted loudly: "Hand over the money..."

After hearing this sentence, the head of that family stood out; he knelt down helplessly and spoke.

"This official, we really have no money; if we still had a little money, we would have handed it over; we certainly listen to the Magistrate's order."

"But our family really doesn't have a bit of grain."

"If you really want grain, then our whole family might starve to death."

"I hope you officials will give us a way to live."

When Ying Mo saw this scene, he felt somewhat confused.

He sat down on the side, quietly watching this scene, wanting to see how the matter would develop next.

But what he did not expect was that the official captain who led the group slapped down fiercely.

Then he roared loudly: "You are telling me this here; I know you are a stubborn commoner who hides the truth."

"I tell you, there is no way to stop you from handing over the grain; hurry up and give me the grain, otherwise, give me all your money."

"Otherwise, you will be the same as the family this morning."

"You don't want to die early, and then your whole family will be lonely and helpless without support, right?"

When saying this sentence, the head of that family was instantly scared.

When Ying Mo heard this, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.

It seems that this matter was indeed the same as what he had imagined.

He only saw that family helplessly take out the money, and the grain was also taken away by more than half.

Subsequently.

It was seeing that family lying on the ground crying.

They did not care about the dust on the ground; they were sad to the extreme.

When Ying Mo saw this scene, he felt particularly helpless.

But at the same time, Ying Mo also raised a curiosity.

He prepared to follow this group of government soldiers to continue watching, so he could understand what exactly was going on in the whole Heihu County.

That family just now actually still counted as having a little grain.

They looked like a very hardworking family; they could still hand over some grain and money.

But this next family was not so good.

(De Nuo Zhao) The house was very simple, and even a corner was missing, and they had no money to repair it.

When this group of government soldiers saw this scene, they still walked in.

He only saw the leader captain shout loudly: "The Magistrate has an order, every household needs to hand over one hundred wen of silver, those who defy the order will be beheaded!"

And at this moment, two people came out of this room.

This was an old man and a young man, father and son.

After they came out, they knelt down.

The old man spoke: "We really don't have a bit of money; we already handed it over once this morning."

"We handed over all the money and all the grain."

"Why did you come again?"

582, Look at each other, investigate the situation! (Seeking subscription!)

After hearing this sentence, those few government soldiers looked at each other.

Ying Mo saw this scene and felt it was somewhat interesting; were they planning to collect twice?

However, just at this moment, the government soldier spoke: "We collected once this morning; at that time, we didn't collect enough silver, and there wasn't enough grain."

"Our Private Secretary was afraid that you were hiding grain, so he sent us to come again."

"Come, search fiercely for me!"

After saying this, he sent another group of people to rush in directly, and the speed was very fast.

These were all tall and big government soldiers, naturally not something that those two thin men could resist.

After they went in, before long, they carried two bags of grain out.

These two bags of grain were not much.

At this moment, the captain revealed a sneer: "Good, you actually dared to hide grain."
