I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

"You don't understand, you don't understand." The old farmer was full of bitterness and despair.

"I understand." Li An nodded with a serious face.

Seeing this, the old farmer was surprised, and looked at Li An puzzled, this guy seems to have a good background?

After a long time, he asked tremblingly, "May I ask who you are?"

Li An smiled, walked to the old farmer, handed him his hoe, and then said slowly, "King Chen, Li An!"

The old farmer's pupils dilated instantly, full of disbelief.

For just a moment, the old farmer's eyes were filled with excitement and joy.

Afterwards, the old farmer knelt down respectfully towards Li An, throwing himself to the ground.

Li An patted the old farmer on the shoulder, without saying a word, and led the crowd to continue walking towards the village.

The old farmer raised his head tremblingly, with a little expectation and hope in his eyes: "My lord, will it really get better?"

"Of course, you just wait for the good news!" Li An raised his hand and waved.

Li An's back disappeared, and the old farmer got up from the ground. He looked back at the hoe beside him and held it tightly.

……

"Everyone will come to the village to pay the food immediately. Whoever dares to wait for us to come to the door will have to pay twice the food!"

At the entrance of the village, there was a sound of cursing. A group of house slaves of the Wang family were harvesting grain in the village. The house slaves all had fierce and cruel expressions on their faces.

Holding a whip in his hand, he whipped the people who came and went from time to time.

Along with the house slaves, there are government servants.

Compared with the clamoring servants, the servants are much more relaxed.

A group of yamen servants were sitting around under a big tree to enjoy the cool air, holding teacups in their hands, looking at the scene in front of them with mocking expressions.

The common people lined up in a long queue, carrying molted rice on their shoulders, and their faces were ashes.

As the rice was poured into the dendrobium, the people were bleeding with distress.

This is the painstaking effort of half a year...

As one dendrobium after another dendrobium of rice was packed into sacks by servants, the taxes to the court were finally paid.

The accountant again used the wooden stick in his hand and impatiently knocked on another dendrobium next to the official dendrobium. This dendrobium was bigger than the official dendrobium.

"The imperial court's payment is over, it's time to pay the land rent of Master Wang!" said the accountant impatiently.

Hearing this, the people knelt on the ground in despair, "Master, I only have half a bag of rice left here, which is all the food for my family.

Please do me a favor and leave some food for me, otherwise my son will really starve to death. "

As he spoke, the man pulled a skinny boy beside him to kneel down and kowtow to intercede, hoping that this would make the accountant sympathize and leave some food.

The accountant gave the man a cold look, and said slowly: "Your grain is far from enough to pay my lord's land rent. You can't afford to support your son anymore. Sell your son to my lord as a gift for this year." The land is rented!"

As he said that, the accountant waved his hand, and several servants walked towards the little boy.

"No, please don't take my son away." The man begged in a panic while holding the child.

"Death!" The servants yelled angrily, and immediately the stick fell on the man.

"Woo~" The boy was so frightened that he kept crying.

The people around looked at the scene in front of them, but they dared not speak out, and all of them turned their heads to one side in unbearable.

On the other hand, the yamen servants enjoying the cold and drinking tea watched the servants commit violence with the expression of watching a play.

After a while, the man's wailing became quieter, and another stick landed on the back of the man's head, and the man just fell straight backward.

"Boom~" The man hit the ground heavily, stirring up dust all over the place.

The accountant impatiently waved his hand to fan away the dust, frowned and asked, "Did you kill him?"

Hearing the sound, a servant kicked the man on the ground: "Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, get up for me."

The man didn't respond.

The servant frowned, squatted down and sniffed the man with his fingers.

"Sir, he was beaten to death!" The servant looked at the accountant with a calm and unmoved expression, as if he had already taken it for granted.

"Unlucky things." The accountant cursed, and then looked at the panicked people viciously: "I'll take care of everything, if you don't pay the food honestly, this will be the end!"

The people curled up their necks in fright, their eyes filled with numbness and despair.

The yamen servant who had been watching the theater saw the dead man, and finally spoke up: "Mr. Wang, you just beat him to death, we can't explain it to the adults!"

The accountant looked over with a smile, took out a few taels of silver from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to the yamen servant: "My lord, I'm sorry."

The yamen servant weighed the money with his hands, nodded in satisfaction, put the money into his arms, and immediately said to his colleagues with a smile, "Drink tea, everyone, continue to drink tea!"

I thought that the yamen servants would stand up to enforce the law after they were killed, but in the end they just took the opportunity to make money.

The common people numbly glanced at the smiling yamen servant, shook their heads, their faces were heavy.

As the accountant walked back, he passed the man's body.

The little boy was crying heartbreakingly beside the man: "Daddy, daddy, get up quickly, the ground is cold...

Dad, ah... dad... woo~"

There was no trace of pity in the eyes of the accountant, he grabbed the little boy's hair roughly and lifted it up with a cold face.

"It hurts." The little boy gasped in pain.

The accountant directly ignored the little boy's cries of pain. He roughly pinched the little boy's face and checked his teeth.

Immediately nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, he will be a good dog when he grows up."

After finishing speaking, he threw the little boy on the ground and said to the servants, "Tie it up!"

The servant nodded quickly, and took the hemp rope to tie the little boy's hands.

In the place where the grain was piled up, there were five or six children standing there with their hands tied. All of them couldn't pay the grain at home and it was offset as land rent.

Among these children, the cute-looking girl Wang's family will take in as maids themselves, and the stronger boys in Wang's family will also be taken in as servants.

The rest are all sold to dentists!They are then sold to others as slaves.

The little boy stood there in fear, seeing the servants getting closer and closer with the hemp rope, he subconsciously glanced at the father lying on the ground.

In the end, the little boy looked at Mr. Accountant with a stern look in his eyes.

"I want to avenge my father!" The little boy shouted and ran towards the accountant.

The accountant was unprepared, and the little boy who was rushed over directly bit his calf.

"Ah, mad dog!" The accountant yelled in pain, cursing, and threw the boy away with all his strength, and then kicked the boy hard in the chest.

Chapter 237

The boy flew upside down and hit the ground heavily. Before he could utter a cry of pain, a mouthful of blood spat out from the corner of his mouth, and he died.

The accountant hurriedly opened his trouser legs to check, and saw that there was only a tooth mark on his leg without bleeding, and his face recovered a little.

He looked at the boy's body coldly, and gritted his teeth: "Little mad dog, now that he has been beaten to death, I will not be able to collect enough money!"

After finishing speaking, the accountant looked at the village chief viciously: "Is there anyone else in this family?"

If the little boy was beaten to death by him, he would not be able to pay the land rent, and he would have to catch another one to pay the land rent.

The village chief looked at the corpses of the man and the little boy, his eyes were full of unbearable, he lowered his head and shook his head: "It's gone, there is no one in this house."

"Huh?" The accountant's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "Old man, you'd better think carefully before speaking. If I know that you have lied to us, I will burn your house down today!"

Hearing this, the village chief's eyes were full of panic and fear. He glanced at the corpses of the man and the boy with guilt, and then said, "Niu Laoshi's family has a lady..."

The accountant nodded, then pointed to a house slave and said, "Follow the old man and catch the honest lady!"

"Yes." The servant replied humbly.

Afterwards, the accountant gave a few taels of silver to the yamen servant who was drinking tea with a smile on his face again. This is the little boy's life money!

……

At Niu Laoshi's house, Niu Laoshi's wife is cooking.

Although it was a good harvest year, their dinner was just some wild vegetables and a pot of chaff!

Yes, their dinner is a pot of porridge with wild vegetables and fine bran.

The food that the common people handed over was rice that had molted its husks. This was what the yamen and the Wang family requested, and the common people were willing to do so.

It's not for the Yamen and Wang's family, but the rice husks can be ground into fine chaff, and some broken rice is their food!

The lady of the Niu family did not go to pay the grain today, because it happened before that a woman followed to pay the grain, and because of her beauty, she was directly kidnapped by the Wang family's slaves and sold to the brothel.

So now when it's time to pay food, everyone makes the young female relatives in the family hide.

"Dong dong dong~" There was a rapid knock on the door, and the Niu family was so frightened that she quickly closed the door and ran to the back of the yard to hide in the cellar.

At this moment, the voice of the village chief came: "Miss Niu, I am the village chief."

The lady of the Niu family was stunned for a moment, but she still walked cautiously towards the gate of the courtyard, and asked tentatively: "Village chief, the grain harvester has left?"

"Not yet." The village head replied.

Hearing the sound, the Niu family lady took a few steps back vigilantly again.

"Miss Niu, go to the entrance of the village quickly, something happened to the head of your family." The village head sighed.

"What, village chief, did you say something happened to the head of the family?" The Niu family's lady widened her eyes in horror, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw the village head's expression of embarrassment and sympathy.

The Niu family lady anxiously grabbed the village chief's hand, crying and asked: "Village chief, what happened to the head of my family?"

"Lao Niu couldn't pay the land rent. Mr. Wang's accountant wanted to use your son to pay the land rent. Lao Niu didn't agree, so he was beaten, beaten..."

The village head really couldn't bear to say it, so he shook his head.

In the morning, there was still a family of three, but now there is only one woman left alone.

Alas, sin!

The Niu family's lady turned pale instantly, her arms trembled, she had to squeeze out a smile to cover up her pain and uneasiness, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Village chief, are the head of the family and my children all right? Are they all right?"

Before the village chief could speak, a person suddenly appeared behind the Niu family lady. He directly hugged the Niu family lady's waist, and immediately licked the Niu family lady's face with his tongue greedily.

"She's still a beauty, and she made a lot of money today!" The house slave said with a greedy face, and his palms were also moving up and down.

The Niu family lady turned her head in horror, and met those greedy and disgusting eyes, she held back the nausea in her heart, and struggled desperately: "You let me go!"

The house slave sticks out his tongue and licks his lips: "Your husband and son are dead, your land rent is not enough, you are the new land rent. We will sell you to a brothel when we go back. Before that, I will love you well I love you!"

"Bastard." Niu's wife bit her lips and struggled desperately.

But she stopped suddenly, her pupils dilated, and she stared blankly at the slave who was holding her and bullying her: "You mean the head of the house and the baby?"

The slave licked Niu's wife's face again with his disgusting tongue, with a cruel and greedy look on his face.

The Niu family lady did not resist this time, but looked in the direction of the village head in despair.

The village chief looked away and nodded.

Tears kept rolling down from her eyes, and the Niu family lady wanted to cry out in pain, but she found that she couldn't make any sound now.

There was a backlog of breath in his chest, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it, as if he couldn't live without this breath.

She was instantly drained of all her strength, and was hugged by her waist by the slave, like a body without a soul.

The house slave didn't stay too long, but took Niu's wife back to the business first.

……

Not long after, the Niu family's wife was brought to the entrance of the village.

"Mr. Wang, I brought the man here." The slave took credit and threw Niu's wife on the ground.

The accountant nodded, knelt down and pinched Niu's wife's face to size up.

Immediately nodded in satisfaction: "Well, she looks good and can be sold for a good price."
