Chapter 321 Who Made Him Ill
Hearing this, Zhao Xie couldn't help being taken aback when he looked at the sincere Han Cheng.
Originally, he just wanted to use the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party was willing to risk his life to help him!
Zhao Xie couldn't help feeling a little grateful to Han Cheng.
But soon this kind of gratitude was snuffed out by him.
He didn't ask Han Cheng to do this!
If you want to achieve great things, you must not be soft-hearted!
Back then, if he had made up his mind earlier, he would have directly eliminated Zhao Lang and his useless younger brother!
Nor would he be compelled to flee to the South!
This time, he must get rid of the opponent!
But he said,
"King Han, this is too dangerous! Let's go back to Zhuangzi first and gather our people!"
Han Cheng was in a hurry, Lao Tzu finally found a chance to meet Gong Zi Lang.
How can this not go?
Just when he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Xie's eyes flash, and then said to him first,
"I know I can't persuade King Han! I can only do my best for King Han, and wait until Yunmengze."
"I'll send you another Zhuangzi, and prepare a team of a hundred people!"
A bit of ruthlessness emerged in Zhao Xie's heart. When he gave something, he just didn't give the other party a chance to change his mind.
Otherwise, Zhang Liang on the side would definitely dissuade him!
Sure enough, Zhang Liang said at this time,
"King Han, Zhao Lang is cunning and cruel, if he knows your identity."
"I'm afraid it's not good for you!"
Han Cheng looked at the two of them at this time, and he also had some calculations in his heart.
Zhang Liang is still loyal to him,
Even if there is some prejudice against Gongzi Lang, hmph, it was all brought up by Zhao Xie.
As for Zhao Xie's hypocrisy, he could see it all.
Everyone is a descendant of the royal family. If others don't understand the so-called emperor's mind, how can he not understand it?
Then he said with a serious face,
"My lord Xie doesn't need to be like this, I am the same as the royal family, and it is right to help each other!"
"Ah Liang, you don't have to worry, go to my king's Zhuangzi with Young Master Xie."
"This king will get off the car here."
After finishing speaking, he asked the groom to stop with a firm attitude, and walked down by himself.
Zhang Liang had no choice but to let the servant Xiaosan follow him, but he didn't dare to show his face, after all he had met him before.
After the carriage had gone far, Han Cheng turned his head and ran towards Zhao Lang.
——
At this time, Zhao Lang was looking at the head of the village and the head of the pavilion with a cold face.
They are not only the masters of the biggest Zhuangzi here, but also the controllers here.
Although the position is small, it really controls the life and death of hundreds of people in this pavilion.
In Daqin, it is not difficult to control the life and death of a farmer.
Just charge more taxes, or ask for an extra foot of cloth before winter comes.
Peasants can be frozen to death or starved to death. A single peasant family is extremely vulnerable and cannot withstand any storms.
And these two people were at odds with an old man.
Deliberately charged more taxes.
There are four members of the old man's family, and the rations for the winter are just enough.
Just enough means that you will be hungry, but you will not starve to death.
And the overcharged ones are enough to make the other party exhausted and unable to survive the cold winter.
This is the real killing without blood!
If it wasn't for the reports from farmers, Zhao Lang wouldn't have seen the problem.
"General, everyone is here."
At this time, Xi came over with a group of skinny farmers.
Zhao Lang nodded, and said to the officials beside him,
"Read the decree and let the local officials on the side convey it."
In the previous life, Huaxia still had the phenomenon of different pronunciations for ten miles, and it is the same in Daqin now.
It's just that scholars and officials can communicate.
Soon, as the decree was read out, the expressions of the farmers below changed slightly.
The look at the head of the village and the head of the pavilion was also a little more angry.
But it's more of numbness, they really know now that the head of the village and the head of the pavilion are playing tricks.
But what can they do?
If they dare to resist, when these Qin troops leave, they will still suffer.
After experiencing the initial panic, the pavilion chief and the village chief also calmed down.
After seeing the numbness of the farmers, their faces were even a little more proud.
These people can't deal with them!
Even if they are punished, or even kicked out of this position, they are still gentry!
The countryside still needs to be governed by them!
Because no one can replace them now!
"Last year's tax was collected according to the law?"
Zhao Lang ignored the two people in front of him, but asked the farmers behind him.
The farmers looked at Zhao Lang with a cold face, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one spoke.
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"Since no one speaks, it's okay."
People don't report, officials don't investigate.
The eyes of the pavilion chief and the village chief suddenly lit up, and the pavilion chief even said with a smile,
"General, since there is nothing wrong, how about going to the humble house to drink a glass of wine and take a rest."
Seeing this scene, the farmers were even more afraid to speak.
Zhao Lang frowned slightly. It seemed that he could only use private means at night.
At this moment, a farmer suddenly said,
"No, Xiaomin handed in 80% of the food last year, and Xiaomin's father starved to death because of it!"
Zhao Lang frowned, and a smile appeared on his face.
At this time, the pavilion chief shouted directly,
"Nonsense! I..."
boom!
Before the pavilion chief could finish speaking, he was shot by Zhao Lang,
"Go on."
Soon, the farmer explained the matter with hatred, and then looked at Zhao Lang.
He was already risking his life, and he wanted to see how the other party would deal with it.
"Is the situation true?"
Zhao Lang looked at the pavilion chief in front of him, and said coldly,
"I will interrogate these farmers separately. If you dare to lie, I will kill you on the spot!"
The pavilion chief shuddered when he heard it, and quickly replied,
"This is true, but the officer just collected more food, and did not kill the old man!"
"It's because he can't resist hunger, general, you ask these people, who is not hungry in winter!"
"Who made him ill!"
Zhao Lang also nodded and said,
"rational."
The face of the farmer on the side turned pale instantly, he didn't know what punishment would be for overcharging taxes.
But he will definitely not lose his life. With the other party's wealth, he will definitely be able to escape this time.
When the other party came back, that was when their family was wiped out.
The peasants were instantly desperate!
At this moment, he suddenly saw the leader of the Great Qin General, and suddenly sent the spear in his hand forward.
The sharp spear instantly pierced Ting Zhang's chest!
The pavilion chief looked at Zhao Lang in astonishment. He didn't understand why Zhao Lang said his words were justified just now.
Kill him suddenly.
Zhao Lang didn't intend to explain, and just stirred it up casually, completely cutting off the opponent's vitality.
The chief at the side was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and tremblingly said to Zhao Lang,
"You... dare to kill Daqin officials!"
Zhao Lang sneered,
"I didn't kill him, I just put the gun in his chest."
"Look at our sergeants, none of them has any injuries."
"Who made him ill!"
The chief was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something else.
Zhao Lang's spear had already been sent over again.
The chief also fell to the ground slowly.
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"It seems that his health is not very good."
