The start time of Daqin is reversed by 30 seconds

"how is this possible."

Su Jie's methods are comparable to theirs in charge, and in terms of strength, it is several times more powerful.

This made Xia Wuji puzzled.

Su Jie walked slowly to Xia Wuji's side, and said, "Do you think you can withstand Ben Hou's punch now?"

Xia Wuji said: "Who are you? How could the officials of the Qin State know these tricks?"

Naturally, Su Jie would not answer Xia Wuji and said: "You wait for a ranger to attack and kill an important official of the Qin State, and you will be sentenced to death, and you covet this Marquis's wife, which is an extra crime. How do you think this Marquis will deal with you?"

Xia Wuji said bitterly: "You dare to kill me? Yun Zhongjun and Dongjun will not let you go."

To deal with Su Jie, Xia Wuji knew that Yun Zhongjun and Dongjun had to take action.

Su Jie laughed loudly and said: "So this is your reliance? Since that's the case, I want to see what these two people are capable of!"

Su Jie pointed at Xia Wuji's eyebrows.

Xia Wuji's eyes widened and he passed out.

Su Jie said: "Wang Ben, tie him up and take him to Jingyang Prison. You send your cronies to guard him, and don't let Madam know."

Wang Ben took the order and immediately sent several personal guards to tie up Xia Wuji.

Carried to the army.

The cold light in Su Jie's eyes closed, and the golden Liuding Liujia slowly flew into his sleeve, and the momentum gradually melted away.

Today, Ben wanted to use their hands to kill Hefeng, and then catch one or two of them, which would be of great use.

However, this Hefeng was not dead.

Naturally, Su Jie could also let He Feng die without a complete body, but this would definitely attract people to investigate.

Therefore, He Feng can die, but he must die without seeing the corpse, otherwise the warlocks in Chu will draw their eyes to him.

With the means of these qi refiners, as long as the body is found, it is easy to find out how He Feng died.

Su Jie's eyes grew cold, and the corner of his mouth sneered.

The unconscious Hefeng was supported by Wang Ben on a horse.

Thousands of soldiers watched their generals show off their supernatural powers, and their expressions were filled with admiration.

Every move is like a god descending from the earth.

How powerful those four people are, they can naturally tell them apart, but even such four people were easily defeated by their generals.

Many soldiers said one after another: "The general has become stronger again!"

Before that, the general had a battle against the Mohist Juzi under the city of Handan, so he naturally had a comparison in his heart.

Su Jie waited to rectify a little, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

The army moved slowly.

Su Jie held Lu Caiwei in his arms, and stroked the hair on her forehead with his hand.

Half an hour later, Lu Caiwei moved slightly, opened her eyes slowly, and found herself lying in Su Jie's arms, blushing all over her face, but she didn't struggle.

Distraught, she turned away slightly, seeing that Su Jie closed his eyes, he didn't seem to notice, his fingers were still gently rubbing her forehead.

Lu Caiwei felt feverish all over, feeling all kinds of feelings in her heart.

Just quietly looking at Su Jie who was holding him.

Lu Caiwei blinked her long eyelashes, and quickly closed her eyes again calmly.

"you're awake?"

Chapter 224 Jingyang Desolate Village Has No Strong Relatives! (Please subscribe, it's miserable)

at dusk.

Su Jie's brigade had already arrived dozens of miles away from Jingyang.

At this moment, the army passed by a village.

Su Jie lifted the curtain of the car and ordered: "Wang Ben, station the army here, and don't disturb the people."

Subsequently.

Su Jie and Lu Caiwei got off the carriage together.

When he came to the hill in front of the village, his eyes showed surprise.

At this time, it was midsummer, and the fields should have been prosperous, but there was little green to be seen at this time.

Su Jie said: "You don't need to follow."

Then he took Lu Caiwei and walked slowly towards the village from the path.

Lu Caiwei looked around, and occasionally found scattered green leaves and grass on trees and secluded corners, but at a glance, it was clear that these remaining greens had only recently sprouted.

On both sides of the road, Su Jie and Lu Caiwei couldn't help frowning.

Lu Caiwei said: "This is Jingyang?"

Su Jie frowned and nodded.

The bones of horses, sheep and other livestock can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road!

As soon as the two entered the village, they thought that there should be many people in the village at this hour, but looking at it this way, the village was empty and extremely cold.

As far as the two of them could see, there were only some old people, young children, women and children, but not a single strong man.

Su Jie and Lu Caiwei were dressed in luxurious clothes, with a graceful and luxurious demeanor.

It immediately attracted the attention of some people.

It made many people seem cautious.

Soon, Su Jie stopped an old man who was walking towards him, cupped his hands and said, "The elder is being polite."

The old man looked to be in his sixties, with wrinkled face, thick calluses on his hands, and firewood on his back.

Seeing Su Jie and Lu Caiwei, he immediately put the firewood on the ground.

He replied: "I have seen this nobleman, but I don't know what's the matter with the nobleman?"

Su Jie smiled and said, "Old man, why did the people in the village go?"

The old man looked at the village, shook his head and said: "I went out to beg, some escaped, we are old and can't walk, otherwise we will go into exile together, staying here, we can only die."

Su Jie was shocked all over, refugee!

Once there is a drought, refugees are prone to appear, and then become bandits.

Lu Caiwei said: "Old man, why do you say that there is a dead end? Even if there is a severe flood, Qin will allocate food for disaster relief."

The old man looked at Lu Caiwei and said, "Food for disaster relief? Hey, it would be nice if the county didn't come to demand land rent and taxes from us. How could they give us food?"

Lu Caiwei asked: "But this county magistrate is harsh on you? Didn't you act according to the law?"

Afterwards, the old man slowly told some things he knew.

Originally, in normal seasons, food tax was also collected on a per capita basis.

But now it is a famine, and it is inevitable that the payment will not be made on time.

According to the legal system, the county magistrate should report the disaster situation, so that the court or the princes can order some relief, but the county magistrate has not reported the progress of the drought for a long time.

This means that every family has to pay food according to the previous legal system.

For example, this old man originally had a family of three, and his two sons had fled the famine, so he was left alone at home, and the county magistrate paid the grain, and it was still counted as three people.

This is not wrong, the mistake is, why did the county magistrate not report the disaster situation, or delay reporting the disaster situation.

The old man said: "My two sons left some food for me before they left. They said that if I am not starved to death after fleeing famine, they will come back to support me, but I don't know if I can wait until that day."

The locust plague has not completely broken out yet.

Many eggs laid in the field by last year's old locusts have not hatched at all.

But as a veteran farmer who has been farming all his life, he can know in advance that this year's harvest has become a big problem.

Lu Caiwei comforted: "Don't worry, old man, your son will definitely come back."

The old man was stunned, looked at Lu Caiwei, and said with a smile: "I don't support people these days, I just hope my son will go as far as possible, otherwise there will be no food at all."

Just as the three of them were discussing.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the village!

More than [-] officials walked into the village, and the leader was embraced by the rest.

The leader was quite young, but he had a domineering expression on his face. After walking a few steps, he saw a lamb being pulled by a rope.

As soon as his expression changed, the other person immediately understood and ran over to remove the lamb.

"What are you doing! Isn't it time to pay taxes!"

The little official kicked the woman down.

"This is your family's spring rent. As long as you have a sheep, the tax envoy will appreciate it."

"Give it back to me, you took the sheep, what will our family eat?" the woman begged.

The little official sneered and said, "Humph, your family's? The whole of Jingyang belongs to Marquis Wu. I'll ask you to collect the rent according to the law. You don't have food, so use the sheep to offset it, so my family's tax envoy is kind. "

Su Jie watched this scene coldly.

Lu Caiwei gradually felt Su Jie's coldness.

The old man shook his head and said: "His husband died in battle many years ago. After all these years, who still remembers what his husband did for Qin? Otherwise, these violent officials would not dare to do so."

Su Jie asked: "This person acts so domineeringly, does he have any support?"

The old man said: "This is the nephew of the county magistrate, and also the tax envoy of Jingyang!"

The woman was kicked to the ground, a five or six-year-old child ran out from the house, supported the woman and shouted: "Mother, mother!"

Soon, the tax envoys kicked open the doors one by one.

Pair with the bamboo slips in your hand, and take away any valuables at home.

The whole village dared not speak out.

Soon, the tax envoy passed by Su Jie, Lu Caiwei and the old man.

The whole person trembled, and his eyes immediately fell on Lu Caiwei.

However, when he saw the two people dressed in extraordinary clothes, he became vigilant and said: "Why are you two staying here, do you have a road test?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Caiwei from time to time.

Generally, road guides are required for visiting between countries, and road inspections and registrations are required to prove one's identity when traveling in various parts of Qin.

Nowadays, many merchants will wander in various villages, which is very common.

If it was a merchant, he could take the opportunity to keep them for questioning. He had already made up his mind that this kind of stunning woman was the only one he had seen in decades!

When the villagers saw the tax envoy coming in front of the two outsiders, their palms were sweaty.

The children are hiding in the corner and peeping.

Su Jie said coldly: "My husband and wife are merchants. Since you are a tax envoy, you should collect taxes and come to question me and my wife. Why?"

The tax envoy said: "My uncle is the magistrate of Jingyang County, so I have the right to ask. If you two have no road test, how do I know if you are spies from another country?"

Naturally, Su Jie's identity would not have a word with this tax envoy.

Su Jie asked: "According to the legal system of the Qin State, in the year of severe floods, the tax is reduced or exempted depending on the situation. The disaster situation in several counties in Guanzhong has reached such a point. Why is it so rare in Xianyang City? Moreover, as the tax envoy of the Qin State, you Acting domineeringly, trying to generate public grievances, do you know your crimes?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately said: "My lord, don't talk nonsense."

Su Jie waved his hand.

The tax envoy sternly shouted: "Bold, you dare to say this envoy, do you know that you have committed a serious crime by saying this, and I still need you to teach me how to act according to the law? From the envoy's point of view, you are the secret work of another country. Let them be arrested."

The village suddenly erupted.

Some men who came back from outside also saw this scene one after another.

Su Jie laughed angrily and said, "Arrest me? Who gave you the right!"
