No one knew what Chen Mu wanted to do, and he walked forward step by step until there was a thick human wall in front of him. The miners slowly gathered around, their eyes flickering with danger and panic. Even more frightening than these sturdy men were the sticks they held in their hands and the pickaxes they carried on their shoulders.

In Chen Mu's eyes, this is an armor-piercing cone and a blunt weapon, which perfectly restrains him from wearing cotton and iron armor.

Chen Mu's heart beat like a drum, he unconsciously licked his dry lips, and looked around at the miners with a blank face, fortunately he also saw fear on their faces...... Ma Straw is afraid of beating the wolf, and this matter is much easier to solve.

"Chen has killed mountain bandits and robbers, but he doesn't plan to fight with the people, get out of the way."

When people heard him say that he had killed the bandits, they didn't react, but when they heard that Chen Mu had fought with the Japanese bandits, their eyes were shocked, and some people didn't believe what they were about to say, but they saw that Chen Mu was hanging a delicate Japanese knife from his waist, and they retreated one after another.

Raising his arm and splitting the crowd, Chen Junye walked straight to Yang Fan.

"The iron ticket is ten taels of silver?"

Chen Mu and Yang Fan asked face-to-face, and after the official mine owner nodded, he turned his face to the tax collector who was tied to the wooden pillar and asked, "Are you out, do you have a problem?" ”

The tax collector who was greedy for money had already been frightened, where was there still a little bit of decency when he was corrupt and bullied the mine owner, with undried tears on his face and urine stains under his body, revealing his chest that was torn open by the miners, and seeing Chen Mu howling as if he had seen a life-saving benefactor: "They want to cut my heart!" ”

Syllable!

"When you are greedy for money, why don't you know that you are afraid, ten taels of silver, and if you don't die." Chen Muyang slapped his hand, then rubbed his palm and said to Yang Fan: "You can't open the mine, it's still too late to run, the guards have been tired and lazy for a long time, and if you can't escape, it depends on your luck." ”

"It's not easy, let's live well."

Chen Mu sighed as he looked at the miners, Yang Fan and the other miners were still stunned, and someone asked: "Master Jun, the government doesn't want to pursue it?" ”

"I don't know if the government will pursue Chen, but it is good for everyone not to provoke a civil uprising." Chen Mu himself also made a sudden mistake in his heart, these miners did not look like they were really going to fight the tax officials and the flag army, if they were really so bold and angry, they had already wiped out Zhang Yongshou's twenty or thirty banner troops on the mine who were still fighting with their hoes, and they didn't have to wait until now.

Although he didn't know why, Chen Mu felt that this was a good thing, and took out his saber to cut the rope for the tax collector, and the fat-headed and big-eared guy couldn't stand up even if he sat on the ground.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the emotions of the miners were stabilized by his few words that he did not pursue, and Yang Fan, who incited the hired workers, also stopped entanglement, as if thinking about how he should end. It seems that this matter should be solved so easily, the great tax official will have some complaints about himself, but if he doesn't commit it, he can't control his own head, and he can barely be regarded as happy, and then the tax collector who has just been rescued did something that Chen Mu couldn't think of, he actually grabbed Chen Mu's boots and shouted surrounded by hundreds of miners.

"Arrest them, kill them, they want to kill the officials and rebel! Kill them! They want to rebel! Either frightened or born, Chen Mu only felt that his voice was unpleasant and harsh, the tax collector grabbed Chen Mu's leg fiercely, lay on his urine-soaked land, pointed at the surrounding miners and shouted: "Wait until you go out and kill them all, these Diao people, if you don't kill them, it's not enough to defend the country's law, and if you don't kill them, it's not enough to defend the country!" ”

He's not a tax collector, he's a fool!

Chen Mu went from the hillside to the single-person finalist, and it was not easy to eliminate the hostility of the miners towards him, and the atmosphere that was finally stabilized was simply destroyed by two sentences. To be honest, Chen Mu had never seen anyone with such a powerful destructive power in the past six months.

He really wanted to ask Yang Fan and these miners, who was willing to do a good favor and slaughter this tax collector.

There are really such brainless people in the world!

Originally, the road that Chen Mu separated when he came in was faintly surrounded by the miners, and Yang Fan, who was holding a knife in his hand, also turned his body slightly sideways, looking at Chen Mu and the tax collector with an unkind expression, and there was a great intention to tear them apart if he didn't agree.

Now the situation is clear, and the nerves that the miners have just relaxed are hung up again, as long as Chen Mu's words are not right, Chen Junye, who struggled to get out of the Black Ridge and easily kill the Japanese Kou, will die under this mine.

Chen Mu didn't panic.

He raised his left foot and imprinted it on the tax collector's face as punishment for his lack of brains, then withdrew his right foot, took two steps to the side, turned around and pointed and scolded: "Killing officials and rebelling, unruly officials - you are also an official?" ”

With this kick, Chen Junye and the miners reached a consensus again.

Seeing that he couldn't get out, Chen Mu put his mind at ease, paced two steps in place and said to the miner next to him: "Tired, move a chair." ”

"Zhu Ku, this tax collector Chen can't be saved, come here." Chen Mu shouted to the hillside, and then raised his head and said aloud to the flag army on the mine: "Zhang Baihu, your flag army is dead, and you will come down to talk about it, how to solve this matter!" ”

The surrounding miners were noisy, saying everything, and Chen Mu also heard someone say something to kill him and break the net, but he didn't know who it was when he spoke. The miners around him apparently had no intention of doing so, and some of them were obedient to the dispatch to bring the wooden chairs used for smelting.

"If you want to break the net, Chen is inside, and the flag army is outside, it's a big deal that you kill Chen, and everyone dies together. If you don't want to die...... at the end, he took the chair held by the overwhelmed miner and sat down, and said to Yang Fan: "Chen will be a Chinese person and solve this matter." ”

He now knows what is going on, I am afraid that neither the tax collector nor Zhang Yongshou with the flag army have come to solve the matter before, or they want to solve it by means of suppression, just like the order Chen Mu received, to impeach the miners.

Officials and officers are born with inexplicable arrogance towards the people, and they don't come to reason with the miners at all, so when Chen Mu led the army to feel that it had already fought, it was fortunate that Zhang Yongshou's banner army had not beaten the miners, otherwise this would be a massacre.

Zhu Xiang didn't know the situation, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, but it seemed that the situation was under Chen Mu's control, so he walked down the hill with the pride of a scholar. Zhang Yongshou didn't want to come down, he felt that Chen Mu's head was either broken by the Japanese Kou's archery, or he listened to the Three Kingdoms too much in Guangcheng, so what kind of knife did he play to go to the meeting?

But hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at him, and he couldn't help but come down.

When the two walked into the crowd, Chen Mu spread out his palms and said what he thought.

"The tax collector asks for bribes, which is the reason for the mountain lord's resistance to taxes, and he should pay the ticket tax, otherwise it will be a civil uprising. The mine of the mountain owner could not be opened, and the miners dispersed, barely retreating, and there was no need for ticket tax; Zhang Baihu's subordinate banner army had many casualties, and this money subsidized the flag army's pension; What do you think? ”

Chen Mu smiled, "If it doesn't work, whoever of you will come!" ”
