"Why should we sell you three acres of fertile land for five thousand dollars? Where is the money?" the man named Jiang Yan shouted loudly.
I saw a frail scholar shouting loudly with red ears.
Jiang Yan? The young man remembered that when this person reported his name, he said that his surname was Jiang Mingyan Linglin.
"En?" Lao Xu and Hao Liu over there did not expect such a literate person among the thirty or so people.
"What's going on with Captain Hao?" Old Xu looked at Hao Liu with a bad expression and asked beside him.
"I don't know either!" Hao Liu's face also turned livid. He really didn't expect that there would be such a literate person among these people. You said you have read and read and you came here What kind of land do you want to get? You go to the prefect's mansion. Where can there be special people to entertain you? Now Yangzhou lacks those who have been educated and literate, so that they can be flooded into the grassroots to be a small official, such as this Old Xu is such a person because he can write, so he can have such a good job.
"Hao Liu, let me tell you, if there is anything wrong with .nsb.om, don't come next time." Old Xu became rude to Hao Liu, and called out his name directly. "Are you using the Guo family to suppress me?" Old Xu said with a grim expression. The background behind this Hao Liu is the Guo family in Xinye. This old Xu of the Guo family can't afford to offend him, but if Lao Xu offends him, he can let the Guo family replace him. Come alone.
"Don't dare. Don't dare. Master Xu, don't worry, I will deal with it right away!" Hao Liu's face was also not good-looking. He waved his hand and a few Xinye defenders followed him to force Jiang Yan over there.
"Brother Jiang. Is this really a deed of prostitution!" There was an illiterate man next to him, but he couldn't help asking after hearing Jiang Yan's words.
"Hmph, it's the deed of sale. They not only swallowed up our three mu of land, but also increased the tax by one level every year, until the sixth level!" Jiang Yan read out the handwriting on it angrily.
"The sixth floor is so high, so you can't press your fingerprints. When I was in Yuzhou, it was only the sixth floor!" Some people were dissatisfied. Those who are weak will die on the road. What is the picture? Isn’t it the 30% tax in Yangzhou? Now tell them that this Yangzhou is no different from other places, they are all six floors, why are they here? "Hehe, it's in black and white, Captain Hao, you still want to play tricks!" Jiang Yan said to Hao Liu over there.
"Everyone, are you literate?" Hao Liu asked the refugees.
Many refugees are shaking their heads, even if they know each other, they just know their own names.
"Hehe, since you all don't know how to read, how can you listen to what this Jiang Yan said alone. He said that 30% of the tax is 30% of the tax. This Jiang Yan, he is delusional and misjudged!" Hao Liu's eyes signaled, Several defenders of Xinye City nodded and surrounded Jiang Yan in the middle.
"I'm not dazed, it's really written on it is the deed of sale, I don't believe that we go to Xinye City, post him at the gate of the yamen, and let everyone see it on the bulletin board." Jiang Yan was still there shouting loudly .
Hao Liu's face turned cold.
"This Captain Hao forced us to sign a contract of selling ourselves..." Before the word of the contract was spoken, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a pain in his chest. When he took a closer look, it turned out that Hao Liu's subordinates who were close to Jiang Yan made a move on Jiang Yan. up. Just now, it was a Xinye defender who secretly punched Jiang Yan in the stomach, so that Jiang Yan was unable to say a word in one breath.
"This is prostitution..." Jiang Yan wanted to speak, but he punched him in the chest again. Some refugees saw Hao Liutu poorly, and the people were also afraid of things, and they were unwilling to force themselves. Looking at Hao Liutu, they were a little scared. .
Hao Liu looked at the frightened look of these lowly people, and then nodded in satisfaction, that's right!
"Cough, cough, cough!" Jiang Yan over there was spitting blood from his mouth, the defenders of Xinye had dealt too hard.
"Hehe, this is Yangzhou, and this is what His Highness the King of Shu looks like. Someone Jiang has seen such a subordinate, so the King of Shu, Liu Mang, must be no better than someone who deceives the world and steals names. Let me tell you, Hao Liu. Jiang died just now, and Jiang will say that this is a contract of sale, and he cannot sign it, and after signing it, he will only be a slave for the rest of his life." Jiang Yan continued to shout loudly.
"Why don't we sign it!" The refugees over there became agitated again, and none of them wanted to put their fingerprints on it.
"Huh! Shame on your face!" Hao Liu was furious. He only used violence against Jiang Yan just now and didn't kill him directly. Shameless, Hao Liu naturally won't touch lightly anymore, isn't it just three acres of land, he doesn't want Hao Liu, so Hao Liu waved his hand down.
Immediately, the Xinye garrison nodded in understanding, "Shua!" The cold light flickered, the sword in the hands of the Xinye garrison was out of its sheath, and the refugees over there panicked, this Hao Liu was going to kill people.
"Come on, kill Jiang, you bully, fake king!" Jiang Yan sneered and closed his eyes.
"Pfft!" Hot blood splashed out.
Is this what it feels like to be killed? Why can't he feel the pain? Jiang Yan felt the hot blood but couldn't feel the pain. Could it be that he died too quickly.
"Ahh!" A scream sounded beside Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan was very strange, he didn't cry out for pain, why was there someone screaming beside him. Subconsciously, Jiang Yan opened his eyes, but Jiang Yan was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. On the ground, a Xinye defender was screaming and rolling on the ground, blood splashed all over the ground, staining the ground. famous.
"Brother Jiang, have you never seen blood!" A very calm voice sounded from the side.
Only then did Jiang Yan see that a young man beside him looked at him very indifferently. He was holding a sword in his hand. Isn't this saber just in the hands of the Xinye defenders
"It was you. You saved me?" Jiang Yan saw that this person was the commoner named Han Yang just now, and beside him was a strong man with a scarred face. "Why did you save me!"
"There's no reason, it's just that I don't like it!" The young man was very indifferent, the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, but the young man didn't care at all.
"You, you guys, be bold! Do you want to die!" Hao Liu was startled and angry. He wanted to kill Jiang Yan to make everyone shut up, but now he's not dead. One of his subordinates was slashed and lay on the ground, writhing in pain.
"Death? It's up to you, Hao Liu!"
"Haha, refreshing!" said the scar face next to him.
"Okay, okay, okay! Shame on your face." Hao Liu was also angry, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes. This Hao Liu was originally a local ruffian, and it's not like he hasn't killed people in this troubled world. In his hands, there were quite a few innocent people's lives, but Hao Liu turned into an official later on.
"Come and take them down for me! Shoot and kill them!" Hao Liu has more than a dozen Xinye defenders in his hands, and they are all Hao Liu's cronies. Either the local ruffians back then, or those desperadoes in the Xinye prison. Three teachings and nine teachings, Hao Liu took under his command and worked hard for him. So since these refugees are blocking his way of making money, they will be killed.
"Yes!" A dozen of Hao Liu's subordinates over there drew out their sabers and forced them towards the young man.
"Brother Han, be careful! Folks, this Hao Liu asked you to write a deed of selling your life. We can't let them succeed. There are only a dozen of them, and there are so many of us. Let's take them down together!" Jiang Yan over there looked at Hao Liu's movements couldn't help but feel a little guilty, because of him, Jiang Yan, Hao Liu wanted to kill Brother Han and several people together, and Jiang Yan was motivating the people to help.
Although the young man was a little grateful, but he didn't take it seriously, because the young man thought of the common people?*
