"What can I do then!" The villagers were also anxious.

"Don't worry, everyone! This disaster was caused by me. I will definitely take care of it." Di Xi quickly comforted.

"Brother Di, you must not say that." Qian Yao said immediately, "You also want to save us!"

"Mr. Qian, don't worry." Di Xi said with a smile, "I have made a plan, but the first step is to deal with these officials."

Those officials who were stunned by Di Xi with a gold needle still seemed to be awake.

"That's true, it's not a problem to always let them lie down!" Qian Yao looked at these people with some worry.

"Don't worry, you can just do as I say!" Di Xi immediately stated his plan.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it. "Brother Di, can your plan work?" Tian Jianzhong said worriedly.

"I think it will work!" Qian Yao laughed, "It's time to fix that Zongkui."

At this time, Zongkui cried and screamed in the tax office like a mother: "My lord, you have to call the shots for me!"

"Okay, okay! Up to now, the process of the matter has not been explained clearly, how do you want me to help you?" Tax official Tang Ming said.

"Chief Tang, somehow from Haihong Village, a spy from the Jinshan Kingdom came to use the demon technique." Zong Kui said loudly, "My brothers, it is estimated that this guy has already solved it at this moment! "

"You are a little bit mysterious!" Tang Ming said with some suspicion, "As far as you can tell, it seems a bit unreasonable to ask me to send troops!"

"Chief Tang, don't be suspicious! I have a head guarantee!" Zong Kui cursed, "The other party is just a disabled person in a wheelchair. He can knock all of my people down. It's not a demon method. And you know, Sangzi City is here recently"

"Isn't it just that you can get rewards for catching monsters and witches?" Tang Ming said impatiently, "but you can't really use a commoner to fill the count! Once you are framed, you will be held accountable!"

"Chief Tang, just put a hundred and twenty hearts!" Zong Kui finally persuaded, "If something goes wrong, I will bear it."

"In this case, all right!" Tang Ming finally made up his mind, "I will accompany you to explore the reality of Haihong Village."

When Tang Ming and Zong Kui arrived at Haihong Village with heavily armed soldiers, Di Xi and others had been waiting there for a long time.

But what makes Zongkui strange is that several tables were placed at the entrance of Haihong Village. The men, women and children of Haihong Village sit around the table, which is full of various melon and fruit dishes.

The most surprising thing was that Di Xi waved his hand while sitting in a wheelchair. A few villagers instantly opened a banner with the words "Welcome to the tax officer who loves the people like a son—Tang Ming, come and guide!"

"Is this what you said, the rebellious villagers?" Tang Ming looked at the banner and the lively scene, really unbelievable.

"Chief Tang, don't be fooled by them!" Zong Kui hurriedly defended.

At this moment, the little girl Amei brought flowers to Tang Ming in front of her. She said with a milky voice, "You are Uncle Tang!"

"Little sister, do you know me?" Tang Ming was a little surprised.

"Of course I know you!" Amei said solemnly, "My parents often mentioned you, saying that the tax officer Uncle Tang is a good official. If it weren't for his usual help in maneuvers, we wouldn't be lighthearted here."

"It should be light corvee!" Tang Ming asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle Tang, you are right! It's light corvette." Amei said seriously. While she said, she also delivered flowers to Tang Ming.

"That's it!" Tang Ming felt a little embarrassed when he heard Amei say this. "This is just what I said when I fooled them. I didn't expect them to take it seriously."

At this moment, Zong Kui on the side saw this situation and hurriedly scolded: "Little girl, what are you doing here to block the way? Don't hinder us from performing official duties."

Who knows that Amei burst into tears when she saw Zong Kui's face. He hurriedly ran behind him, and all of a sudden he hid behind his mother.

"What did this little girl do?" Zong Kui cursed.

"What's up?" Tang Ming frowned, "What are you doing to scare such a cute little girl? No wonder the villagers complain about you, it seems that there is no catching up!"

"This" Zong Kui didn't know how to interface for a while.

At this moment, the village chief Qian Zong stepped forward and respectfully saluted Tang Ming: "Chief Tang, your arrival today really makes our small fishing village shine!"

"Mr. Qian, you don't have to be polite!" Tang Ming waved his hand quickly, "I heard me say that my officials did not collect taxes smoothly from you, and many people were detained by you. You said yes. Or not?"

"Where do you start this!" Qian Yao said quickly, "I am afraid there is a misunderstanding in this! Even if I borrow ten courage, we dare not offend Chief Tang's subordinates!"

"Mr. Qian, you still dare to lie." Zong Kui said, taking advantage of the situation and pushed Qian Yao.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yao seemed to have prepared beforehand, and he rolled back and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Captain Zong, what are you doing!" Tian Jianzhong quickly walked over and complained while helping Qian Yao up.

"I didn't try hard!" Zong Kui quickly explained.

"I said Captain Zong, how hard you work, don't you have any points in your heart?" Qian Yao slowly stood up, complaining in his mouth, "Oh, Captain Tang, this party leader usually bullied us!"

"Is that really the case?" Tang Ming frowned, and looked at Zong Kui with unkind eyes.

Zong Kui was so scared that he dared not speak.

"Chief Tang, actually the officials of the tax office are resting in the hall of Haihong Village!" At this time, Di Xi pushed aside the crowd and slowly came to Tang Ming in a wheelchair.

"This is?" Tang Ming looked up and down Di Xi.

"Chief Tang, he is the cripple I mentioned with you, that is, the spy of Jinshan Kingdom!" Zong Kui said loudly again.

"Captain Zong, you can eat rice but you can't talk nonsense!" Di Xi said calmly.

"That's right! Captain Zong, isn't it because you and Brother Di had a quarrel before? You don't need to buckle the spy's hat on his head!" Tian Jianzhong also helped.

After hearing this, Zong Kui wanted to defend himself again, but was blocked by Tang Ming's words: "Okay, you can silence me! I'll wait for the officer to ask for more details."

"Mr. Di, right?" Tang Ming asked Di Xi instead.

"Chief Tang, do you have any advice?"

"Where are you from?" Tang Ming said straight ahead.

"I'm just a merchant looking for his wife." Di Xi answered calmly, "I just settled here in the precious land for the first time."

"You said that my subordinates were not harmed, and they were staying in the hall well?" Tang Ming saw that Di Xi could not be asked about the origins, so he asked his subordinates instead.

"Chief Tang, that's right. Those officials are being served in the hall with good wine and food, and they have never neglected." Qian Yao quickly replied on behalf of Di Xi.

"A bunch of nonsense!" Zong Kui couldn't help but interject, "I obviously saw them stunned by your demon technique."

"Hearing is fictitious, seeing is believing. The easiest way, Chief Tang and I will take a look together, isn't it all right?" Di Xi said, turning around and walking back slowly.

The villagers of Haihong Village also hurriedly followed.

Tang Ming and Zong Kui looked at each other, and followed the crowd suspiciously.

In a short while, everyone had arrived in front of the guild hall of Haihong Village. This is the place where Haihong Village is usually used for celebrations and weddings.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter.

"Brothers are open to drink! I didn't expect the villagers here to be so hospitable!" "Following Zongkui's iron cock these days, I haven't even eaten a full meal." "That Mr. Di is really a bold person. I heard that These things are all made by him."

"How is it, Chief Tang, how is it?" Di Xi glanced at Tang Ming and said.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ming hadn't spoken yet, and Zong Kui immediately rushed in desperately.

"You guys, what the hell is going on!" Zong Kui who rushed in shouted loudly.

When the officials saw their immediate superiors coming, they immediately stopped laughing and stood up quickly. At the same time, Di Xi and Tang Ming walked in with the villagers of Haihong Village.

Seeing Tang Ming's appearance, the officials immediately knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Chief Tang!"

"Okay, get up all!" Tang Ming said hastily.

"Yes!" The officials hurriedly got up and divided them into left and right positions.

"Zong Kui, what's going on? Didn't you mean that your subordinates were killed by the demon? Now I think they are full of anger, even better than when they left!" Tang Ming angrily Said.

"It's impossible!" Zong Kui also looked surprised, and he hurriedly ran in front of several officials. Zong Kui touched his subordinates' foreheads, and then touched their bodies. But this Zong Kui struggled, but he didn't find any injuries on their bodies.

"Okay, don't touch the captain. Brothers are in good health!" Several officials said impatiently.

"It's impossible!" Zong Kui said loudly, "I obviously saw you all in shock before."

"Captain, don't ask any more about some things, you and I know it well, it's not good for everyone to say it!" The speaker was the deputy captain, Zhou Jue.

"Vice Captain Zhou, just put it on the table if you have any words. I'm here to understand the truth, so don't have any scruples." Tang Ming said.

Zhou Jue glanced at Tang Ming and then at Zong Kui, still hesitating on his face.

Zong Kui was furious at the sight: "Lao Zhou, don't tangle with this kind of thing, just say it!"

"Captain Zong, this is what you asked me to say, don't blame your brothers for being unjust." Zhou Jue replied.

"Enlightenment, Chief Tang. We didn't get fainted by any demon method like Captain Zong said." Zhou Jue said, "We fainted only because we had to travel through mountains and rivers and spent too much effort. The blood sugar was too low for a while, this I fainted."

"What?" Zong Kui was completely dumbfounded.

"The blood sugar is too low?" Tang Ming wondered.

"It's just these few days, we have had the last meal and not the next. Brothers really can't handle it anymore," Zhou Jue said.

"Yeah! Officer Tang, this captain tied the money bag too tightly. What he said is more work and more money, and the tax hasn't been collected yet, so what to eat!" Several officials also echoed.

"Really?" Tang Ming glanced at Zong Kui coldly.

"You guys, don't talk nonsense!" Zong Kui said anxiously.

"Captain, isn't this what you asked us to say?" Zhou Jue said calmly, "You are indeed too mean to us. Just let the cow pull the cart, and you have to feed the cow!"
