Chapter 418: The heart is silent
Chapter 418 is silent.
After Mei Dexue's words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent for a while.
Hua Zhimeng already understood a lot when she heard Mei Dexue say this, but when she understood, she didn't dare to rush into Mei Dexue casually, if a person lets you know that he wants to rebel, then will he let you go?
This is the case with Mei Dexue and Ye Xing now, and Ye Xing and the others can escape from here today, depending on two possibilities.
The first possibility is whether Ye Xing's martial arts are high enough to break out, and the second possibility is whether they know the current affairs.
Ye Xing is not a person who knows the times, but in today's situation, he decided to change his usual personality, so when the hall was silent, Ye Xing suddenly smiled and said: "General Mei's spirit of self-protection of the Ming Dynasty is worth carrying forward, if every Ming citizen can defend themselves and protect their families, then how strong will my Ming be!" ”
When Ye Xing said such a thing, Hua Zhimeng understood very well in his heart that this was Ye Xing's last resort, Huo Qing and Feng Song were also surprised at first, but they were not stupid, and they quickly understood, and after they understood, they all immediately echoed Ye Xing's opinion.
Mei Dexue saw that her words made Ye Xing frightened like this, and suddenly smiled very proudly: "What Lord Ye said is a bit wrong to praise me, I just do my duty, that is comparable to Lord Ye walking in the world and managing the injustices of the world!" ”
Ye Xing's face immediately showed a look of shame, and then said with a smile: "Since Jiang Tonghai and the three of them have all used the taxes for General Mei's military training, then we don't need this tax, but there is one thing that needs a few helps." ”
As soon as Huo Qing heard Ye Xing say that he didn't want these taxes, his face immediately changed, but even if he was extremely unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to show it casually, he just wanted to know what Ye Xing wanted them to help with.
When Jiang Tonghai heard Ye Xing say this, he naturally felt a lot less afraid of Ye Xing in his heart, and he also had a little more contempt, but like Huo Qing, they didn't dare to express the thoughts in their hearts.
"Lord Ye, is there anything you need our help with?" Jiang Tonghai looked at Ye Xing and asked.
Ye Xing smiled faintly: "The taxes of the three of you are contributed to the military training, but in this nameless county, there are still many wealthy families whose taxes have not been contributed, so I want to let a few of you play a scene with me and let those individuals pay the taxes with their intuition." ”
Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing glanced at each other, and then they turned around and glanced at Mei Dexue, as if to ask Mei Dexue's opinion, Mei Dexue only nodded slightly.
Jiang Tonghai saw Mei Dexue nodding, so he immediately said to Ye Xing: "Lord Ye's affairs, we will naturally help, if Lord Ye has any orders, just say it!" ”
Ye Xing nodded and smiled, and then said: "I hope that tomorrow a few people can publicize it in public, just say that you have paid the taxes, as long as the three of you make a statement, I believe that the other big families in the nameless county will not dare to resist anymore, and will definitely obediently make up for these taxes." ”
This matter is a very simple matter, and it doesn't require Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing to really pay the money, just let the three of them move their mouths, what reason do they have to refuse?
So the three of them agreed.
Seeing this, Mei Dexue laughed a few times, and then said: "Since the matter has been settled, I think everyone should hurry up and eat, otherwise it will become a sin to starve everyone." ”
After drinking, Ye Xing and the others hurriedly left Jiang Tonghai's mansion, and after they left, they didn't say a word, and went directly to Di Xiaojie and their line, but when Ye Xing and the others quickly walked to Di Xiaojie's hiding place, Ye Xing suddenly stopped a little, because he found that there were people nearby, but it was definitely Di Xiaojie and them.
That person's movements were very careful, and although he sensed his presence, he couldn't find him, and from these, it could be seen that that person's martial arts were very high, which Ye Xing and they couldn't underestimate.
And at this time, Ye Xing and the others really felt how dangerous they were in Jiang Tonghai's mansion, if they really fought, Di Xiaojie and the others would probably be immediately arrested and killed by Mei Dexue's ambush here.
Because of Ye Xing's caution, Di Xiaojie, Xu Ruoxuan, and the lives of several of them were saved.
After they saw Di Xiaojie, they only said a quick word, and then didn't say a word more.
The few of them didn't get to the county government until they were really relieved, Di Xiaojie asked a little puzzled: "Brother Ye, how are things going, why were you so nervous just now?" ”
Hua Zhimeng knew that Ye Xing was a little embarrassed to say this matter, so she replied first: "That Mei Dexue is not easy to deal with, if we act rashly, we will inevitably be wiped out by them, so for everyone's safety, we can't collect the taxes of Jiang Tonghai and the three of them." ”
Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, but Di Xiaojie was still a little puzzled: "Then ...... just now"
"There have been people in our vicinity just now, and there are people in ambush right where you're hiding, so we have to leave quickly!" Ye Xing suddenly spoke.
And after Ye Xing said it, Di Xiaojie and the others were shocked, they were surrounded, but they didn't notice it at all.
After a long time, Xu Ruoxuan asked, "Brother Ye, what should we do now?" ”
Ye Xing thought for a long time, and finally said: "Listen to what Mei Dexue means, it is really possible for him to rebel, in order to crush his rebellion, we must find enough evidence, and mobilize all the forces we can mobilize, just in case." ”
Everyone understands what Ye Xing means by mobilizing all the forces that can be mobilized, and it is necessary to report this matter to the imperial court, but it is too slow for the imperial court to send troops to save it, with the rivers and lakes that Ye Xing has known in the past year, it should not be a problem for them to come to help as soon as possible.
"Okay, Brother Ye, don't worry, I'll handle this matter!" Xu Ruoxuan was the first to speak.
Ye Xing nodded: "Early tomorrow morning, you will leave the nameless county, go to a nearby place, and then release our news, I believe they will come as soon as possible after hearing it." ”
Everyone believes this, Ye Xing's friends are not ungrateful people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, Xu Ruoxuan nodded in agreement.
When the few of them agreed, Ye Xing said to all of them: "Xu Ruoxuan will do what I just explained tomorrow, and you will act with me with Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing, if this scene is performed well, the tax problem can still be solved." ”
