Chapter 119 – Ox, are you hungry?

What is the name of the current Emperor of Qianlong?

What does the emperor look like?

Who are the civil and military officials?

Regarding these, the people of Qingniu Town do not know, or the vast majority of the people of Da Qian, know nothing about it.

Despite living in Da Qian, despite being part of the same human race.

But.

For the townspeople of Qingniu Town, the highest status people they usually came into contact with were only the tax collectors who collected taxes, and the officials who arrested people.

Life is gray and never bright.

There is chaos ahead, no wakefulness.

In his own muddled state.

Many people did not even know what crime they had committed and were labeled as “sinners” and forced to come to the border from the thirteen states of Daqian.

But, even when they came to the border, to the town of Green Ox, they still had to pay taxes.

The people of Greenbrier don’t find it odd.

They have lived on the land of Daqian for generations.

It has always been felt that paying taxes is a matter of course, and they are willing to do so, and feel proud of it, and feel that they have a part to play in the prosperity of Daqian.

Just.

Just ah just.

A yearly wave of demons, a yearly increase in taxes.

It has crushed people’s spines and made it difficult to stand up straight.

“My lord, please ……”

“We literally, don’t have a single grain left ……”

The entrance to the town of Green Cow.

The sparse townspeople, with fearful faces and with a gesture of great caution, begged the tax collector, who had come on horseback, to be able to dispense with this levy.

The cloudy eyes revealed hope.

Dry palms trembled and merged.

However, the tax collector who was riding on a green-scaled horse, looking extraordinarily tall with his back to the sun, appeared so untouchable.

But he grunted coldly and struck the horsewhip in his hand hard on the ground.

“Pop!”

It’s crisp and loud.

Pumping the sand and dirt, pumping the gravel, pumping the fear out of people’s hearts.

“A bunch of pariahs, it’s already a great favor for the court to let you live!”

The tax collector yanked on the reins and cursed.

“Swine,” “thieves of the court,” “vile slaves who waste food.”

He cursed fiercely, but the yellow-faced people didn’t dare to retort, they just remained standing there begging for mercy.

“But, but, we really don’t have any food ……”

“Next year, next year we’ll make it up!”

Hungry.

Very hungry.

Under the tax collector’s ruthlessness, the people of Qingniu Town were a bit cowering and afraid, but what overpowered that fear was the powerlessness and hunger emanating from the depths of their bodies.

Everything you can eat in Greenbrier.

Food or livestock, even weeds by the side of the road.

It also goes into people’s stomachs early.

How can you come up with, how can you make something out of nothing and pay enough food to the tax collector?

The people begging for mercy were densely packed in the sunlight, and they were gathered together, ragged and looking rather pathetic.

Gradual.

There are old people who want to get down on their knees and plead.

But before that, a hand held the old man first.

“Granny, get up.”

Xu Department’s voice was the same as before, like a harmonious spring breeze, and it was as gentle as it could be to the ears.

But underneath that gentleness, the fire that had been latent for so long was finally no longer hidden, blazing up and burning uncontrollably.

“No, no, no.”

The old man shook his head desperately.

She wanted to kneel, she wanted to beg for forgiveness with the tax collector, pleading with the tax collector to spare the town of Green Cow this year.

However.

As the old man returned his gaze to the tax collector.

Instead, they saw an extremely startling sight, the tax collector who rode on a ferocious horse, taller than all and more majestic than all.

He was even casually punched by the Xu system and ruthlessly smashed to the ground, rolling over ten times one after another.

He cursed.

He roared.

But that’s when.

The scene was inexplicably quiet.

“Department, department brother, how can you ……”

The old man tightly grasped Xu System’s hand, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

She looked blankly at the tax collector.

For the first time, he realized that the original tax collector who had fallen off his horse was not tall; he was as tall as the people of Green Ox Town, and even appeared to be slightly shorter because of his overweight build.

For the first time, I realized that the original dusty tax collector did not look intimidating in the least.

Original.

Turns out we are.

Is it the same ……

The scene in front of them confused the people of Qingniu Town, they didn’t know what to do, whether to help up the tax collector or to accuse Department Xu.

Is Xu wrong?

It couldn’t be, could it? How could there be a mistake in the Xu system that had been protecting Qingniu Town.

So, is it the taxman who is at fault?

This bold idea, instantly shocked people vetoed, the tax collector on behalf of the Great Qian, the Great Qian how will … will …… be wrong it …

People are a little hesitant.

Eventually, a man came out of the crowd and tried to help the fallen tax collector.

Only to be stopped by the tax collector’s harsh scolding just as he walked up to him.

“Pariahs, lawless, simply lawless!”

“Is there any law in your eyes!”

“Pariahs are pariahs, and those born will only be pariahs, you damned guys, wait to be killed by demons!”

The tax collector cursed so hard.

The sharp, piercing voice made the green-scaled horse neigh noisily.

At first, the people of Green Cow Town felt guilty, feeling that it was their fault for not being able to pay the tax, a great sin that could not be forgiven.

But as the level of abuse from the tax collector rises.

Especially when it comes to family members, some of their faces become hard to see.

“No, you’re not allowed!”

“Cursing my mother!!!”

Someone erupted, and it was the man who was ready to go forward and pick up the tax collector, the tanned, usually goofy-looking Ox.

His eyes were red with anger and his body trembled.

Clenched fists trying to slam into the taxman.

And yet, he was hesitant to do so.

“Bastard, I don’t think you have the guts to do this, attacking an official is a felony, can you afford this crime!” , the tax collector sitting on the ground, let out a sneering voice.

Like noisy ducks, quacking and quacking, one taunts Ox.

Bull’s movements came to a screeching halt.

He was silent, slowly withdrawing his fist.

It was only then that the Xu system walked up next to Niu, took hold of Niu’s wrist, and reached forward again.

“Brother Xu?”

“It’s okay, Ox, do whatever you want.”

“But, but, I can’t do that ……”

Ox stammered.

Trying to explain to the Xu system what kind of serious consequences there would be once they attacked the officials of Da Qian, and how the people could fight with the officials.

Yeah.

The people can’t fight an official, even a minor official.

The Xu system smiled, and asked to Aniu, to the townspeople present, “Are you hungry?”

“Hungry!”

Ox answered quickly.

“Want to eat, sweet big white rice.”

“I want to eat!”

Ox still answered quickly.

“Then punch out, punch at him.”
