Entering the bully's den, she changed her life by farming!

Zhao Zhizhi pursed his lips and said nothing more.

On the way back, both of them were unusually silent, especially Zhao Zhizhi, who was afraid of high altitudes. Apart from holding Wei Shao's neck obediently, he actually didn't tell him to fly slower.

Strangely enough, Zhao Zhizhi felt more secure in her heart when Wei Shao took her through the same Qinggong flying.

She even had the absurd idea that as long as Wei Shao was around, she could do anything with confidence and boldness.

Zhao Zhizhi couldn't help but sneered, thinking that he was really naive.

Wei Shao had already said that he would leave sooner or later. What was she still looking forward to!

She didn't know that last night, Wei Shao had determined his heart. Before leaving, he looked at the sleeping Zhao Zhizhi with eyes full of possessiveness, and the dark night could not block the hot gaze.

"Are you going back to pay taxes to the imperial court?" Wei Shao asked when he saw that the village was not far away.

Zhao Zhizhi nodded perfunctorily.

Wei Shao glanced down at her and said calmly: "Do you need my help?"

Zhao Zhizhi subconsciously opened his eyes, but directly ran into those deep black eyes.

Her heart suddenly stopped, she closed her eyes in panic, and said duplicity: "I don't need your help, my affairs have nothing to do with you."

Wei Shao's face turned slightly cold, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

At the same time, a fierce quarrel was breaking out at the village chief's house located in the middle of Xiaohe Village.

"Are you crazy? You dare to touch your taxes and money? Have you lived too long and are tired of living?" The village chief blushed with anger, but did not dare to speak loudly for fear of leaking the matter.

The culprit, He Xiuer, had tears streaming down his face after being scolded, but he still said stubbornly: "It's not all your fault. I've told you many times that Li Lang is about to take the exam in Beijing, and all aspects need to be taken care of. How can he succeed without money?" ?”

The village chief was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pointed hard at He Xiu'er, and cursed angrily: "Why did I give birth to a fool like you? You have to pass at least seven exams to go to the imperial palace. Li Xiucai only passed the government exam, so there is no need to treat your arm." The elbow is turned outward so much, could it be that he was fed some kind of ecstasy?"

After saying that, the village chief stood up angrily and started to walk out, "I want to ask, what does he want so much money for?"

Seeing his posture, He Xiuer ran in front of him without thinking, opened her arms to block his way, and said anxiously: "Dad, Li Lang didn't know about this, and he didn't ask me for any money. I wanted to give it to him myself." his."

"You!" The village chief was so angry that his head almost exploded. He stroked his chest, and suddenly bent his waist in despair, and said feebly: "Tell me the truth, how much money did you spend?"

He Xiuer hesitated and said: "Not much."

The village chief shouted loudly: "Say!"

He Xiuer was startled, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and she choked with sobs and said: "Rough calculation, it cost about ten taels of silver."

When the village chief heard this number, his eyes darkened, his body swayed, and he staggered back a few steps.

He Xiuer hurriedly stepped forward to support him and cried: "Dad, let me tell you the truth. Li Lang didn't have high confidence in passing the Chunwei examination, so he planned to bribe the county magistrate with money and get a job in the county government. .”

Seeing that the village chief's face was still ugly, He Xiuer quickly continued: "Li Lang is now my husband-in-law and your son-in-law. If he can really get a job in the county government, wouldn't it also benefit our family?"

The village chief sighed, shook his head, walked slowly to the chair and sat down, "Do you think this job is so easy to get? Our county magistrate is a bottomless pit. If you don't feed him, he will be It’s impossible to benefit you.”

"Besides, you are not the only ones who want to buy an official position. Naturally, whoever gives more money will be able to get there first. The dozen or so taels of silver you gave me may not be enough to fill his teeth."

He Xiuer panicked and said hurriedly: "What should we do? Now I ask Li Lang to go to the county magistrate and tell him that he will not buy an official position. Can he return the money to us?"

The village chief sneered: "Are you as stupid as you, the county magistrate? How can you vomit out something that has already been eaten in your stomach? If you really go, he will definitely find any reason to put you in jail." "

Having said this, the village chief raised his head again and said with an extremely heavy voice: "Now, the tax and bank payment are not enough. Not only will I be imprisoned, but I am afraid that the life of the villagers will not be any easier in the future."

Hearing this, He Xiuer realized the seriousness of the matter. She pulled her hair irritably, "This won't work, that won't work either. Can we just wait?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened suddenly, as if she had thought of something, and she said eagerly: "Dad, I have thought of a way that may help us get through this disaster."

The village chief didn't hold out much hope, "What else can we do now?"

He Xiuer quickly walked to him and squatted down, whispering: "Dad, we can't come up with more than ten taels of silver. The Zhao family can definitely come up with it."

The village chief frowned, "You want me to ask the Zhao family for help?"

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of He Xiuer's mouth, "How could I let you lose face and ask for help from others? Listen to me, I have a plan that can drag the Zhao family into trouble, and we won't touch it."

The village chief became interested and straightened his back, waiting for her to speak clearly.

He Xiuer stood up and approached the village chief. She whispered in his ear for a long time, but she didn't know what she said. A sly smile appeared on the village chief's face.

Before anyone came from the county, the village chief asked the villagers living at the end of the village to start paying taxes in advance.

After getting the news, Mr. Zhao handed the tax money to Zhao Yimu and asked him to hand it over with Zhao Ermu.

The village chief and He Xiuer stood at the door of their house. There was a long table in front of them, with paper, ink and pens on it. After every household paid taxes, the village chief would write down the name of the head of the household.

He Xiuer looked up at the people in line and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Ermu. She turned back and winked at the village chief, indicating that he could start.

The village chief cleared his throat and said loudly: "Villagers, prepare your tax money and hand it over one by one. Wait until I have checked clearly before moving on to the next one. Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. Don't evade taxes, otherwise your taxes will be evaded." My life can’t be saved.”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the villagers began to move forward in an orderly manner.

Zhao Yimu thought Zhao Ermu was in the way, so he said to him impatiently: "Go and watch from the front, don't let anyone jump in the queue."

Zhao Ermu responded lazily and walked forward from the other side of the team.

He Xiuer's eyes lit up and she thought to herself: "The opportunity has come, I hope Zhao Ermu will not let her down."

Victory or defeat depends on this.
