Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 145 Putting Down Arms
bang bang bang bang~
The next moment, a burst of gunshots rang out, and immediately, several tax collectors outside the city gate fell to the ground one after another.

"what!"

Seeing this scene, the people around were frightened immediately, and retreated after a burst of exclamation.

No one thought that these big soldiers would actually dare to shoot and kill those tax collectors.

"Drag their bodies down," the officer ordered to his soldiers.

Following the officer's order, the bodies of several tax collectors were immediately dragged down by a group of soldiers.

In addition to the corpses, the tax collection boxes of these tax collectors were also taken down, and there were some copper coins and banknotes in them, which were all confiscated.

A group of soldiers came and went quickly, and soon disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only a few pools of bright red blood on the ground.

Not only at the gate of the city, but also in various places in Youzhou, there were countless soldiers arresting the tax collectors of the imperial court.

It's good that these tax collectors don't resist. If they resist, they will be killed directly.

When Youzhou just started to move, many tax collectors didn't know that the Youzhou government had taken action, because the Youzhou government had been patient before, which made their arrogance reach the highest level.

Under such circumstances, a group of dozens of tax collectors rushed to the machinery manufacturing factory recklessly, demanding that the machinery manufacturing factory pay taxes to them.

"Get out of the way, we are people from the imperial court, and we want to find the person in charge of your factory..." A tax collector shouted loudly at the gate of the machinery manufacturing factory.

It turned out that this team of tax collectors wanted to approach the machinery factory, but was stopped by the guards guarding the factory.

In the past few years, both the Youzhou manufacturing factory and the military factory have been military forbidden areas in Youzhou, protected by hundreds of heavily armed guards, and ordinary people don't even think about being able to enter it.

"You can't go in."

No matter how a group of tax collectors yelled, the guards of the machinery factory said nothing.

"You are bold, do you know who we are? Let us enter quickly, or you will be overwhelmed." A leading tax collector shouted at a group of guards.

As he spoke, he even wanted to force his way in. When other tax collectors saw it, they also prepared to force their way in.

There are more than 30 tax collectors here, each of whom has a waist knife and weapon, and looks quite powerful.

"Stop, back off, or we will be rude." Seeing the movements of the tax collectors, the guards of the machinery factory pointed their guns at a group of tax collectors, threatening loudly.

However, although there were more guards than tax collectors, the tax collectors seemed to ignore them at all.

A tax collector shouted loudly: "You are welcome? Why are you impolite? We are court tax officials. If you dare to touch a single hair of our hair, you will be overwhelmed. I advise you to come back quickly, otherwise be careful. Disaster to the family."

"what happened?"

Just as the tax collectors and the guards were at war, a shout came from the gate of the machinery factory.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man walking out with a group of guards.

"Master Xu, these people want to force their way through the gate." A guard hurriedly reported when he saw the young man.

"Who are you? Don't you know that this is a restricted military area?" Hearing what the guard said, the young man immediately yelled at a group of tax collectors.

"Who are you?" a tax collector asked the young man.

"I'm Xu Guangqi, director of Yuyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory. Why did you force your way here?" Xu Guangqi asked calmly.

"You are Xu Guangqi. We are the tax officials of the imperial court. Let me inform you that your factory will have to pay 30.00% commercial tax to the imperial court every month." A tax collector said loudly to Xu Guangqi.

"So you are the fake tax collectors who ran rampant in Youzhou recently." Xu Guangqi said lightly.

Immediately, he issued an order to a group of guards and said: "Catch them all, and those who dare to resist will be killed."

Hearing Xu Guangqi's words, immediately, a group of guards from the machinery factory rushed towards the tax collector.

Seeing this situation, a group of tax collectors saw something bad and drew their weapons.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?" a leading tax collector shouted.

"Drop your weapon, or you will be killed without mercy."

Seeing that the tax collector wanted to resist, a guard officer yelled loudly.

"If you don't talk about it, you will be arrested directly. If you resist, you will be killed directly." Xu Guangqi said loudly from behind.

Hearing Xu Guangqi's words, the guards no longer hesitated.

There were hundreds of them, several times more than the tax collectors, and many of them were equipped with flintlock guns.

"lay down your weapon."

"lay down your weapon."

The guards roared and quickly approached the tax collector.

Seeing such a situation, it was impossible for the tax collectors to put down their weapons and tie their hands. Seeing the guards rushing, many of them even raised their knives and made attacks.

"boom!"

A guard in the front row pulled the trigger, and he took aim at the leg of a knife-wielding publican.

The moment he shot, a bullet penetrated into the publican's knee in an instant, making the publican lose his balance and fell to his knees.

Bang bang bang bang.

Just after the first gunshot sounded, the next moment, one after another gunshots sounded.

With the sound of these gunshots, a group of tax collectors immediately carried a dozen people down in the front row.

The tax collectors were dumbfounded. No one thought that these guards would actually dare to attack them.

In just an instant, they killed or injured more than a dozen people. Some of them were shot in the limbs.

"lay down your weapon."

After a round of shooting, the gate guard continued to drink.

Hearing this, the rest of the tax collectors no longer had the strength they had at the beginning. They dropped their weapons one after another, and then knelt on the ground as soon as their knees gave way.

"Forgive me, forgive me."

As the tax collectors gave up their resistance, soon the machine factory guards arrested all the tax collectors alive.

As for the bodies of the tax collectors who were killed, they were quickly disposed of.

Just when a group of tax collectors was arrested at the Machinery Manufacturing Factory, a thousand heavily armed Musketeers quickly entered Yuyang City.

In the end, the musketeers came to a building with the Tingwei Yamen hanging on it, and then directly surrounded the building.

Ting Wei, the official name of the Qin Dynasty, was in charge of the prison. It was renamed Dali in the Han Dynasty, Dali Temple in the Ai Emperor, and Tingwei in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has been named Dali Temple since the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"Master Lieutenant, those tax collectors who killed people are hiding here. We have been monitoring here for the past two days, and they can't escape." A man dressed as a yamen servant said to the general who was leading the Musketeers.

"very good."

"Who are you? How dare you surround Tingwei's Yamen, do you want to rebel?"

The arrival of thousands of musketeers immediately alarmed the officials in the yamen. An official in official uniform led a group of people out of the yamen and shouted loudly at the general leading the musketeers at the door.

Although the Tingwei Yamen in Yuyang City is only a subordinate institution of the Tingwei Yamen in Jicheng, there are not many officials in it, there are almost several large and small officials and dozens of jailers.

"Rush in, search for me, and kill anyone who dares to resist."

The musketeer general ignored the few officials rushing out of Ting Wei's yamen, but directly issued a search order.
