Chapter 850

"Then you beat them. Those who don't hand over grain are disobeying orders; they are stubborn peasants, just beat them to death." The magistrate blurted out naturally.

Upon hearing this, the private secretary said helplessly: "But I think we have increased taxes, and they simply cannot give so 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. If something bad happens, what should we do?"

"Magistrate, we are going to live here for a long time. Many people can't hold on anymore."

Upon hearing this, the magistrate fell into deep thought.

But then he sighed again.

581. Bet the house, family broken and dead! (Please subscribe!)

You must know that this time, the Heihu County magistrate, in order to gather enough money for the Blood Blade Sect Master.

He also bet the house.

So his money went out, and naturally, he was unwilling to give up.

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

He wouldn't care about the lives of those people.

After all, the people are the people, and he is he.

So at this moment, he was also particularly resolute and didn't want to care about more things at all.

Under such circumstances, only the magistrate was heard saying: "This situation is also helpless."

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

"But no matter what, you must reach the task amount I want. Otherwise, continue collecting."

After saying this, the magistrate lay down and went to sleep again.

When the private secretary saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel particularly helpless.

This was also a helpless matter.

However, the private secretary was only worried on the surface and didn't think deeper.

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

But they would never dare to resist in the end.

As long as those people didn't resist, then he could still act recklessly, which didn't have much impact on him.

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

The few families they beat directly changed from a perfect little family to a broken family.

The middle-aged man died, so the others had an even harder time living.

A family was destroyed just like that by them.

But they couldn't care about so much at all.

By 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.

In Heihu County.

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

Ying Mo followed the crowd and entered 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 saw a group of people standing in front of a family.

This group of people wore uniforms and carried knives.

They were clearly officials, and this group of people looked at the family in front of them.

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

Upon hearing this, the head of the family stood out, knelt down helplessly, and spoke.

"This official, we really have no money. If we had even a little bit of money, we would have handed it over. We definitely listen to the magistrate's order."

"But our family really has no grain at all."

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

"Please, officials, give us a way to live."

When Ying Mo saw this scene, he felt a bit confused.

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

But what he didn't expect was that the leading official captain slapped him hard.

Then he shouted loudly: "You talk to me about this here; I know you are a stubborn peasant hiding the truth."

"I tell you, there is no way to stop you from handing over the grain. Hand over the grain quickly, otherwise, give me all your money."

"Otherwise, you will be like the family from this morning."

"You don't want to die early and leave your whole family helpless and without support, right?"

When saying this, the head of the family was instantly terrified.

When Ying Mo heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It seems that this matter is really the same as what he imagined.

He only saw the family helplessly take out the money, and most of the grain was also taken away.

Subsequently.

He saw the family crying on the ground.

They didn't 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 officials to continue watching, so he could understand what was going on in the whole Heihu County.

That family just now actually still had a little grain.

They looked like a very hardworking family, and 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 officials saw this scene, they still walked in.

He only saw the leading captain shout loudly: "The magistrate has ordered, every household must hand over one hundred wen of silver, violators will be executed!"

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 have no money at all. We already handed it over once this morning."

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

"Why did you come again?"

582. Looking at each other in dismay, investigating the situation! (Please subscribe!)

After hearing these words, those few government soldiers looked at each other in dismay.

Seeing this scene, Ying Mo actually felt it was somewhat interesting; were they planning to collect twice?

However, just at this moment, the government soldier spoke up: "We collected once this morning; at that time, we didn't collect enough silver, nor was there enough grain."

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

"Come, search thoroughly for me!"

After saying this, he sent another group of people who rushed straight in, moving very quickly.

These were all tall and sturdy government soldiers; naturally, they were not people the two thin and weak men could resist.

After they went in, it wasn't long before they came out carrying two bags of grain.

These two bags of grain were not much.

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