"Don't move." A tax collector was about to stop him, when suddenly the tax soldier captain scolded loudly.

The battlefield had given him many things, except for the long scar. The most important thing is the intuition of danger, and the experience tells him. Canglan is here to make trouble today, and he doesn't care about killing people in order to make things bigger.

He didn't want to be a pawn for the nobles to sacrifice, these brothers had fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, wives and children. It was a little worthless to die here like this, and if possible, he felt that as a big brother, he had an obligation to bring them back intact. As for the old fellow, to be honest, he hated it for a long time. On a certain Cheng dù, if Canglan killed that old guy, he would also get his wish.

Hearing the captain's order, the tax collector flashed to the side. The bottom of my heart suddenly relaxed, as if I had unloaded the burden of a thousand catties.

Xiao Wu stepped forward to pick up the tax collector who had shrunk into a ball, and walked out of the door of the fish stall. With a casual throw, the tax collector turned over a few somersaults and lay at Canglan's feet.

"Lord Tax Collector, you are a tax collector sent by the King of Jiujiang. However, you are also a courtier of the Great Han. Our marquis is a marquis crowned by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and you dare to speak wildly as a little tax collector. It's not difficult for me to be for you, the Yun family is a martial marquis, and it is a military order.

You know better than me what the crime of slandering the Shangguan is, and the military orders that those who slander the Shangguan and spread rumors will be beheaded. Just now you said that my marquis is no longer the marquis of the Han Dynasty after reversing the imperial court. Excuse me, has the imperial court issued a clear decree? Or the king of Jiujiang has the will of His Majesty, you take it out and give it to me.

I'm willing to kowtow to you obediently and admit my mistakes, but if you can't take it out. Don't blame me for being ruthless. Borrow your master's head to the military regulations of the Zhengyun family. ”

Canglan's last sentence was squeezed out from between his teeth, since he killed someone, he naturally had to find some reason. Canglan's reason is a full excuse when he hears it, but the people don't know the true picture of the matter. Seeing that what Cang Lan said seemed to have some truth, they all helped Cang Lan coax.

"Master Cang, the little one has eyes but no beads. You treat the little one as a fart and let the little one go. The villain's daughter is the side room of the King of Jiujiang, and it depends on how much the owner gives the King of Jiujiang some face. ”

The tax collector has long lost his former majesty, lying at the feet of Canglan and kowtowing.

"You mean to say that the imperial court does not qualify for the title of marquis of my family. The king of Jiujiang did not receive the will of the imperial court, and you are just talking nonsense. Isn't that so? Think it through and then talk about it. Maybe I'll spare you a life. ”

Canglan faced the tax collector who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing. A charming smile was revealed. But how do you look at this smile, how does it look like a wolf grandmother.

The tax collector's eyes rolled a few times, and he seemed to understand something. He immediately replied, "Yes, yes, the villain is confused." What I just said is all villain's nonsense. I also hope that Master Cang, you don't care about villains. Spare the villain. The villain is grateful on behalf of Princess Jiujiang. ”

This guy really can't help it. I can only move my daughter out to save my life.

"You are the biological father of Princess Jiujiang, how can I not give you face. The law is nothing more than human affection, since you have clarified it yourself. No matter how difficult it is for you, it is also my canglan. Come, help the tax collector to get up. ”

Two villagers immediately came from both sides and helped the tax collector up. The tax collector wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nodded at Cang Lan and said, "Thank you Cang Ye for not killing." But I was already thinking about how to complain to the King of Jiujiang when I went back.

"Lord Tax Collector Hugh is polite, Canglan's words are not finished. After all, the Yun family is a martial marquis, and it pays attention to military discipline. The death penalty of the tax collector can be avoided for the sake of the face of the king of Jiujiang and the princess. However, this living crime is inevitable, and it is more or less a punishment for everyone to have a warning in the future. Bear a little longer, and the brothers will cut off his hands and feet, and the meaning of the small punishment and the big commandment will be over. ”

"Canglan...... You! Captain, help! The tax collector listened to the words at the beginning, and was stunned for a moment, but did not react for a while. But when he reacted, several wolf-like villagers had already rushed up.

Several men pushed him to the ground and grabbed him by the hand. One of the big men stepped on his hand, ignoring his screams like a pig. The bright saber flashed, and with a scream, one hand was cut off.

The captain of the guard was also startled, and just wanted to say something to stop him. But it was a step too late, and the blade was broken by passing the man's hand. The tax collector fainted in pain, and lay on the ground as motionless as a dead dog.

The big man looked at the tax collector with a cruel smile, and the saber in his hand once again arced.

"Ahh The tax collector's other hand was chopped off, and the tax collector fluttered on the ground like a fish. Several big men couldn't hold him down, and finally the two fat men simply sat on top of him, and the two townsmen each stretched out one leg. The executed man stabbed him twice, and the tax collector's two feet were also chopped off.

The whole process was smooth and flowing, and a few villagers hurriedly came over. With a torch in his hand, he burned the tax collector's wound to stop the bleeding, so that the blood vessels of the wound would close quickly. will not let him die of excessive blood loss, Canglan is definitely a man of words, and he said that if he didn't want his life, he didn't want his life.

"Brothers, tax soldiers, Cang doesn't want to hurt peace with you. Please leave here, and take this tax collector with you. According to his current condition, I am afraid it will be difficult to walk back to Jiujiang. ”

The lieutenant glanced at Canglan, and then at the crossbows aimed at him. With a helpless sigh, he ordered his men to carry the tax collector away. If Liu Ji Lao'er wants to dissipate his anger for his concubine, he can't say that he has to put himself out of the fire.

Helpless shì is stronger than people, if you resist Canglan at this time. Maybe this guy will kill the killer, Princess Jiujiang's father has cut off his hands and feet, so it's not a piece of cake to shoot a little lieutenant himself.

"Smack" Liu Ji saw the half-dead tax collector who was brought back, and his nose was almost crooked. The guards sent were like frosted eggplants, wilting one by one. The clay cup in his hand shattered.

Pointing at the captain's nose and scolding, "Let you protect the tax collector, how can it be like this." ”

"Lord Wang, we can't help it. At that time, there were ten times as many people as our brothers, and our subordinates were forced to hold back with bows and crossbows. Even if you go forward to fight, you won't hurt too many lives.

Yun Hou had the courage to rebel against the big man, and his subordinates naturally dared to kill the tax soldiers. Besides, there are still their cottages in Dongting Lake. If we really provoke them, and after killing people, we will hide in Dongting Lake, where will we find them? ”

"You ......" King Jiujiang didn't know what to say. If Yun Xiao is determined to rebel, then his Jiujiang and Changsha will be the first places to be troubled. He shouldn't have coveted his three-bow bed crossbow in the first place, and handed over the island in the middle of the lake and Yueyang to the Yun family to take care of. It's good now, it's a country within a country. didn't take himself as the king of Jiujiang in his eyes at all, and cut off the limbs of his father-in-law today. Why don't you come to Jiujiang tomorrow to collect protection money?

"I'll settle accounts with you later. Come on, quickly help this king to play. It is said that Yunhou's subordinates are making trouble in Jiangnan, and Jiujiang is alone, so he asked the imperial court to send troops to encircle and suppress it. ”

Although this Liu Ji looks like a peasant uncle, he has a heart in his heart. The ins and outs of this matter, he had already inquired clearly through Guò Chang'an's eyeliner.

Since it was the mess caused by the emperor's majesty, it was natural for the emperor's majesty to clean it up. Anyway, let me Jiujiang send people and money to fight. There are no doors, and even if all the troops of Jiujiang and Changsha are gathered, they may not be the opponents of the Yun family.

The battle to exterminate Huxin Island brought a great psychological shadow to Liu Ji, even if Yun Xiao had been gone for many years. But the arrogant generals he left behind were not something his subordinates could deal with anyway.

Liu Ji is angry, and Liu Che in Chang'an City is also angry. His will to request the canonization of the crown prince could not be issued, and it seems that no official in the entire court dared to accept his own decree and promulgate it to the world. Not even by himself.

"I know, I am still not the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It's still not the lord of the world, and if what I say doesn't count, then whoever you say will be the emperor. ”

Liu Che's roaring voice echoed in the Xuan room. (To be continued......)
