The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction: "What kind of man is it to speak incoherently? How can he accomplish anything great?"

Deng Gu panicked and revealed his difficulties: "I owe a total of 200 taels of silver!"

After saying that, he blushed.

Everyone was stunned.

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "How did you owe so much money? Are you a gambler?"

He could only think like this. Two hundred taels was an astronomical figure not only for an ordinary citizen, but also a huge sum of money even for a small businessman.

It would take at least until Deng Gu was fifty or sixty to pay off the debt by selling fish.

"His Majesty!"

"It's not like that. I borrowed five taels of silver, and the rest is interest." Deng Gu knelt down and explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone around opened their eyes wide and was shocked on the spot!

"What, five taels of silver, and two hundred taels of interest?"

"This is too outrageous!"

Qin Yun was immediately furious. He threw away his fishing rod and stood up. "You want to pay for 40 bowls of noodles for one bowl? Why don't you just rob people?"

"Humph, where is justice?"

"Tell me in detail, what happened?"

Deng Gu said bitterly.

"Your Majesty, my parents died three years ago. In order to bury them properly, my sister had no other choice but to borrow five taels of silver from the mayor, Wang Sangui."

"It's agreed to pay it back in half a year, and the interest is two taels of silver."

"But Wang Sangui started to act like a spoiled child. He would come to my house from time to time to borrow money, trying to take my sister for himself."

"I saw him and cut Wang Sangui's ankle with my sickle."

"Wang Sangui was the mayor of the town, and he had great power over everything. He immediately sent people to arrest me and beat me for several days."

"Then tell me, either the interest will be doubled to two hundred taels as compensation."

"Either he wants my sister to be his concubine."

"Of course I don't want to, but I have no choice but to agree to pay back the two hundred taels of silver as medical expenses, otherwise I will go to jail."

"That's how it all happened..."

As he spoke, anger burned in his eyes, but it quickly subsided, replaced by helplessness.

The mayor is not even a ninth-rank official, but in this wild place, he is a local tyrant! What can he do?

"Hmph, he could obviously just rob it, but Wang Sangui insisted on asking for interest. It really makes things difficult for him." Tong Wei said coldly.

Tang Jian and the others all looked unfriendly.

To put it bluntly, it is bullying men and women and robbery.

"Turn around!"

"I want to meet this cancer!" Qin Yun shouted.

Deng Gu was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it was indeed me who hurt people first, and I didn't care."

"Please let me handle this matter myself."

"I am willing to go with you, but please give me some time to settle my sister at home. She has suffered so much."

Qin Yun became furious and hated Wang Sangui, a cancer.

"stand up!"

"What are you afraid of? I'll take care of it for you. Isn't it just a matter of chopping him off with a sickle? It's not too much to chop off his head for bullying men and women!"

"Just show the way."

"Since you want to follow me, I can't just sit there and watch!"

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, his eyes were murderous, and he stopped fishing immediately.

Seeing this situation, the officers and soldiers under his command did not dare to delay and immediately turned the boat around.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"If Your Majesty makes the decision for me, my life will belong to Your Majesty in the future!" The young Deng Gu didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only kowtow.

Instead, it becomes more sincere.

Qin Yun always felt that he had a connection with him, and that he was a man of good character, so he decided to keep him by his side.

"Get up."

……

About an hour later, we arrived at Udon Town.

This is a small border town located along the Grand Canal. It has a relatively large population, green bricks and tiles, and a few wisps of smoke from cooking fires.

The dried salted fish almost covered the entire square.

There is a small house on the west side of the town. It has no main hall or side hall, only two rooms surrounded by a fence, with clothes and fishing nets hanging outside.

There are vegetables planted in the corner.

Although it was a bargain, I have to say the place was well maintained.

boom!

A middle-aged man who looked like a country gentleman brought someone to open the door, very rudely.

"Deng Yuhuan!"

"Isn't it time to pay back the money you owe me?"

A woman in an apron came trotting out of the house. She was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Her skin was not very good due to years of hard work, but her facial features were watery and she had the soft beauty of a water town.

Her figure was wrapped in washed-out, old clothes, so not much could be seen, but her area below the collarbone was well developed and had a considerable size.

At this moment, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was full of fear and restraint.

"Village, mayor."

"My brother is out fishing. I'll send this month's money to you in the evening."

"Sit down."

She brought a stool.

Who knew that the village head, also known as the town head, was not considered an official in the imperial court system, but at most half a staff member.

He was dressed in a silk robe of a country gentleman, had a mustache, was thin, and was very domineering. He kicked the stool over with one foot!

"no!"

"You must give it now!"

Deng Yuhuan was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and her eyes were a little red. It was because of these two hundred taels of silver that no one dared to come to her house to propose marriage. Everyone was afraid to bear the cost of these two hundred taels.

She was twenty-four years old, which was an age no one wanted in Daxia where people could get married at the age of fifteen. People in the town often talked about her in a negative way.

She held back her tears and reached into her pocket to take out some small change and copper coins.

"Village head, there is only a little left. I will send the rest to you before tonight. My brother will get enough by selling the fish he catches." Deng Yuhuan asked almost humbly. Her oval face had a natural beauty, even though her skin was not very good.

"Hmph, are you mistaken? How much silver do you owe me? You're only giving me this little now, are you trying to get rid of a beggar?" Wang Sangui put his hands on his hips, looking arrogant.

Deng Yuhuan's face turned pale and she said bitterly, "No, isn't it just three taels of silver per month?"

"fart!"

"This mayor of the village wants you to pay all your money now!"

Deng Yuhuan burst into tears and choked up, "I, I don't have that much."

“No money? If you don’t have money, pay with your body!” Wang Sangui shouted.

"Hahaha!"

All of a sudden, his men burst into laughter, each with an evil and vulgar look in their eyes.

"You!" Deng Yuhuan bit her lip, shaking with anger, and even wanted to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall to get rid of this devil.

If it were an ordinary man, she would have married him and just found someone to rely on, but she knew very well what kind of person Wang Sangui was, so she refused to agree.

"This is all the money I have. I will pay you back. Please go out!" She tried to raise her voice, hoping to attract the attention of people outside.

A hint of viciousness and a hint of fiery passion flashed across Wang Sangui's old eyes.

"You're not going to pay me back, are you?"

"Someone, hit me!"

"Yes!"

His seven or eight men, all strong and sturdy militiamen from the town, rushed forward and started smashing things like bandits.

boom!

Rumble…

They overturned clothes racks, knocked over fishing rods that were drying in the sun, and smashed pots and pans.
