Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Liu San'er's brow suddenly twisted into a frown.

Normally, since the two villages have cultivated land separately, the tax is naturally divided according to the amount of land. When I plant a arable land, I pay a 10% tax, and if I plant a very arable land, I pay 10%. But looking at them now, it is possible to plant land for these villagers, but there is another saying about tax sharing.

Liu San'er respectfully said, "The grassroots are dull, and I would like to ask your grandfather to make it clear."

"OK!"

The government official smiled viciously: "Liu San'er, don't mention how many brothers don't give you a way to live, how much tax do you pay, let you decide for yourself, how?"

Do it yourself? What do you mean?

Everyone was puzzled, and they saw that man waved, and someone immediately moved a huge box behind them and placed it on a stone table in front of them. He pointed to the box and said, "There are ten copper coins in it. It represents ten percent of the tax. "

"..."

The government official continued: "You only have one chance. Remember, if you catch one, Lujia Village will only pay 10% of the tax, and you will pay 90%. You grab two, and they pay 20%. You pay. 80%. However, if you have the ability to catch ten, then your Jixiang Village can be exempt from taxes, and all taxes will be paid by Lujia Village! "

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha, how about, Liu Saner. We're good to you."

If you grab ten copper coins, you can be exempt from tax. Such a good thing, how kind are these officials?

Moreover, if Liu Saner really caught ten copper coins, then all the taxes would be paid by someone from another village. Such a heavy tax would be so difficult!

My heart was a little bit heavy, but the people around me had already expressed joy, and some people had clapped their hands and secretly said, "This is great!"

"Isn't it easy to catch copper coins? Now, we don't have to pay taxes!"

Looking at the crowd's exuberant appearance, I didn't speak, only secretly worrying, but their excitement did not last too long. When everyone gathered around and looked at the box carefully, everyone took a breath of air.

Liu Saner looked at the box, and his face was a little pale.

what happened?

Ruxiang and I looked at each other and went forward. She managed to help me walk to the stone table. When I looked at it, I was shocked.

The box was also surrounded by thick wooden boards. I didn't know what mechanism was installed inside. There were even dozens of sharp knives in continuous rotation, making a whispering sound. Numerous horrifying cold lights flashed in front of them and stabbed them. People's eyes hurt.

Through the blade, you can see that there are indeed ten copper coins on the bottom of the box, but if you continue to take it like this, you will be cut off if you reach out!

When I saw this, I was instantly angry.

If you hit the copper box that spread the plague before, you can see the rampant and domineering officials in Yangzhou. What I see this time is their fish people, who are so wicked to kill their lives. !!

With such officials, how could the South not be chaotic?

"How's it, Liu Saner? If you like to be in the early stages, let's make you a great hero. As long as you can catch ten coins, then you will be exempt from paying taxes. Even if you can't catch ten, even With only five or more copper coins, your village pays much less taxes! "

"..."

"However, we still have a rule, you can only reach out once, as long as your hand leaves the mouth of the box, you can't reach in again, understand?"

"..."

"Of course, if your kid isn't so brave, then don't talk about re-education." The man said fiercely: "Fishing tax money, you have to pay! The land of Niangniangshan, don't dream about farming ! "

hateful!

Liu Yi asked them to reclaim the cultivated land. It must have allowed these fishermen to make a living in the dry season, but it was not expected, but it became a means of public grudge against these corrupt officials!

The surrounding villagers were messed up.

"What should I do?"

"Go ahead and chop it up?"

"But what would we do if we didn't plant the land?"

Everyone was talking, and finally they all set their sights on Liu San'er. The young man was standing in the crowd, with a well-stretched face taut with bruises, and his lips clenched silently. No matter how worried or anxious the people around him were, he just stared at the knife box.

Ruxiang walked in front of him and said anxiously: "Brother, don't be stupid, this way your hand will break."

Immediately someone said, "What shall we do? How can we live?"

Everyone quarreled again. I didn't speak, I just looked at the knife box intently. After looking around, I went to Liu San'er and patted his arm lightly. He looked back at me: "Are you here?"

I nodded and looked at the knife box and said, "Are you going to get it?"

"..." He was silent and nodded.

"You could get hurt."

"Injury is better than being peeled off!"

I thought about it and whispered into his ear: "You know, if you do n’t do it today, even if the people in this village are starved to death, it ’s not your business; but if you reach out Go get caught. If you get caught less, you will be a sinner in their eyes. "

Humans often do this, they are given much more, and it becomes a matter of course to get them.

Liu San'er was silent for a moment and said, "I do what I should do."

I looked at him in surprise.

Although I have not asked his age, I feel that Liu Saner is younger than me, and his smile and temperament are a bit childish. Rely on him.

This breath is somewhat familiar.

However, looking at his firmness, I felt relieved, and whispered to him, "Come and see me."

He walked to my place in doubt, glanced at the box with my finger, and immediately reacted to it, giving me a pleasant surprise.

I smiled and said, "This place is your chance."

Just now I looked at this knife box from all directions. The knife inside is very dense. Any position where I can start has the knife edge uninterrupted. So no matter how fast he is, he will always be injured, but I still found a place where my hand could reach the bottom of the box, and only a blade would pass through that place.

Just seize the opportunity, there is a chance before the blade is cut.

But be fast enough.

Thinking of this, I looked up and looked at Liu San'er: "Can you do it?"

He turned to look at me, raised his right hand and shook, "I can use this hand to reach the river and touch the fish directly."

He spoke easily, but I saw his eyes a little heavy.

At this time, the government official sneered and said, "Liu Saner, dare you?"

Liu Saner gritted his teeth and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of. But do you talk well?"

"What's so difficult, we will write down the instruments, as long as you can do it, we will cash them one by one."

"it is good!"

After that, the government official took the paper and pen, wrote down the paperwork on the stone table, and held it in front of Liu San'er, shaking it, "How?"

Liu San'er took a look at it, and folded it into my hand, then slowly rolled up his sleeves, exposing the strong and strong arm covered with solid muscles.

Ruxiang was so scared that her face was pale: "Brother, your hands matter!"

At this time, even the elderly village chief came to him and said tremblingly, "Saner, you have to think clearly."

Liu Saner gritted his teeth and walked to the box.

The blade inside was still rotating, reflecting the sun, and the bright blade of light continued to stroke his face, which made his expression more dignified, and I looked beside me, nervous and nervous. Clenched fist.

The noisy villagers around them all became quiet at this moment, and the whole village was so quiet that the wind stopped.

At this time, Liu San'er raised his right hand and slammed into the box.

All of a sudden my breath was choked.

Seeing that the knife in the box flashed, the place suddenly became empty, and even the few copper coins faintly could be seen, and the next moment, Liu Saner's hand had passed through that place, straight out Box bottom.

Grab it!

All this was done in an instant, but between light and flint, everyone stopped breathing and opened their eyes, as if time had stopped halfway at this moment.

Seeing that the rotating blade was about to turn back, I opened my mouth subconsciously to call him, but my throat was too tense to make a sound.

But Liu Saner's response was not slow. After a quick grasp, he has quickly retracted his hand.

At this moment, my eyes did not look at his hands, but through the rotating knife light in the box, looked at the bottom of the box, and vaguely saw that there were still a few coins left, but because the blades kept turning I can't count it clearly.

How many he caught?

This is a tax related to the two villages!

However, regardless of catching more or catching less, Liu Saner is in a disadvantageous position. For the time being, it was a blessing to see that he could keep his hand, and I was relieved immediately.

But at this moment, something amazing happened.

When Liu Saner's hand was almost retracted to the box mouth, he stopped suddenly!

what happened? !!

I was taken aback. Even before I could speak, I saw Liu Saner's clenched fist suddenly loosening.

Two copper coins slipped from his fingers and fell back into the box with a bang.

this is--

Not only me, but everyone around me was stunned, but all this happened too quickly, and we were almost too late to respond, but at this moment, Ruxiang standing next to him uttered a terrified whisper: "Three brothers-- ! "

At this moment, Xue Liang's knife light brushed across his eyes, and then, a blood light was introduced into the eyes.

The rotating blade had been turned back, and was scratching on Liu Saner's arm, and immediately cut a deep and long wound, blood flowing!
