Wang Lanhua and Liu Xiaotian were suddenly startled.
Fear suddenly flashed in Liu Xiaotian's gem-like eyes. She held Wang Lanhua's hand helplessly and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, those bad guys are here again!"
"Don't be afraid, mother is here!" Wang Lanhua's face was also pale and she was very scared, but she still hugged her daughter tightly and comforted her softly.
Xiao Chen's expression suddenly turned cold, and his sharp gaze shot outside the hall, with a chill in his eyes!
Someone is actually making things difficult for Brother Liu Gang’s wife and daughter?
And it’s not your first time here?
"Wang Lanhua, get out here!"
Soon, a loud shout was heard.
A tax collector rushed into the hall viciously with several guards wearing armor and carrying black knives on their waists.
"When will the overdue demon-killing tax be paid?" The tax officer stared at Wang Lanhua and her daughter and asked coldly.
The tax collector was in his forties, dressed in a white robe, with a pale face and no beard. He had very strong energy and blood, and was also a warrior.
Soon, he noticed Xiao Chen standing aside, gave him a cold look, then looked away and stopped paying attention.
Xiao Chen had completely restrained his aura at this moment, just like an ordinary boy next door.
Wang Lanhua and her daughter were so frightened that they were shaking all over and couldn't speak for a while.
"Huh? I asked you a question, and you dare not answer?" The tax officer's eyes turned fierce, and he kicked a wooden table to pieces!
Wang Lanhua was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Looking at the falling wood chips, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
This is the table where mother and daughter eat.
This is the only one I have at home.
Liu Xiaotian even burst into tears!
"Shut up! If you cry again, I'll tear your mouth apart!" the tax collector scolded coldly.
Liu Xiaotian quickly covered her mouth and dared not cry anymore!
Anger surged in Xiao Chen's eyes. He stood in front of Wang Lanhua and said, "How could you be so cruel to a little girl? You really are so arrogant!"
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business? Do you want to die? Get out of here immediately! Otherwise, I will break your legs!" The tax officer said harshly, not taking Xiao Chen seriously at all.
A young man!
What abilities do you have?
Xiao Chen laughed in anger.
He, the great Taixu disciple, was actually threatened by a small tax collector!
This world is really upside down!
Xiao Chen was about to speak when Wang Lanhua grabbed him.
She knew that Xiao Chen was incredibly powerful, but he couldn't stay in Yunhuo City forever. The tax collector was not someone to be trifled with, and she didn't want to offend him!
Stopping Xiao Chen, Wang Lanhua said with red eyes, "Sir, this young man is a guest at my house and has nothing to do with this matter. If he has offended me, please forgive me! As for the tax, my husband is a guard of the Taixu Sect. He has made contributions to the fight against the demon race over the years. According to the laws of Daxia, he is exempt from the demon tax!"
Now that Da Xia is plagued by demons, in order to more effectively summon strong people to fight against the demons.
Each city began to collect demon-killing taxes many years ago, which were used to provide offerings and training resources to powerful demon-killers.
Because those strong men were fighting against the demons with their lives on the line, the salaries given to them by each city were very high.
Therefore, the taxes for killing demons in some cities are very high.
Yunhuo City is a huge city.
The strong ones are like clouds!
Each person must pay five taels of silver in demon-killing tax every year!
There is nothing wrong with this!
After all, the more powerful ones there are, the better.
The safer the citizens will be!
But the problem is.
Liu Gang is a guard of Taixu Sect. He has made contributions to the fight against the demon clan and is exempt from tax for life.
So many years have passed.
The tax officials of Yunhuo City never asked the mother and daughter to collect the demon-killing tax.
Do not know why.
After the mountain competition.
The tax collector suddenly showed up and started collecting taxes!
"Are you saying I'm making things difficult for you?" The tax collector's eyes were ferocious, like a jackal baring its fangs.
According to the laws of Daxia, Liu Gang's family can indeed be exempted from taxes for life.
But when he oppressed the poor in the past, he was taught a lesson by Liu Gang.
He has always held a grudge.
Therefore, after receiving the news of Liu Gang's death, they deliberately went to collect taxes and make things difficult for him.
Liu Gang died fighting against the demon clan. According to the laws of Daxia, he should not only be exempt from taxes, but Yunhuo City should also give him subsidies.
But so what?
He just wants to take revenge!
"No...no! I dare not! But I really can't hand over one hundred taels of silver!" Wang Lanhua said in horror.
The tax collector in front of him was notoriously cruel and ruthless. No one who had offended him over the years had a good ending. At best, their legs would be broken, and at worst, they would lose their lives!
"If you can't pay, go to the front line! They are in need of people to cook there!" The tax collector grinned.
Wang Lanhua's face suddenly changed when she heard this.
The front line is extremely dangerous, no one can come back once you go there!
This tax collector wants her life!
Even five-year-old Liu Xiaotian trembled all over and her face turned pale with fear when she heard the words "going to the front line".
"Tax... Tax officer, please, don't let my mother go to the front line. Xiaotian'er will give you this rag doll to pay the tax, okay?" Liu Xiaotian held back her tears and mustered up the courage to hand the white rag doll in her hand to the tax officer.
This white doll was made by Liu Gang for Liu Xiaotian in the past. It is a pair with the one Liu Xiaotian made for Liu Gang. Liu Gang's name is embroidered on the back.
"Get out of here, you ignorant child!" the tax officer scolded coldly and slapped Liu Xiaotian.
"Ah!" Liu Xiaotian screamed and instinctively covered her head with her hands. The pure white doll in her hands fell to the ground.
however.
The puppet didn't touch the ground.
The tax collector's hand did not fall.
A figure moved sideways like lightning and stood in front of Liu Xiaotian.
Xiao Chen looked indifferent as he looked at the tax collector in front of him. His whole body suddenly glowed, his black hair flew, and his clothes fluttered, like a terrifying god.
"Sword... Sword cultivator? This great..." The tax collector's pupils shrank, knowing that he had hit a wall. Just as he was about to speak, a ray of purple mist hit his chest, and he flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
The expressions of the guards in the field all changed drastically.
The young man in front of me is actually a sword cultivator?
The tax collector, who was so powerful, couldn't even withstand a single blow from him!
What's going on here?
Liu Xiaotian also stood there in a daze, staring at Xiao Chen, who was bathed in purple mist.
The white doll she had fallen down was held up by a wisp of purple cloud and slowly floated in front of her.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Liu Xiaotian. He put away his cold expression and smiled warmly. He said, "Xiaotian'er, this is a gift from your father. It is extremely precious. Promise me that you will treasure it and never give it to anyone else, okay?"
"Okay... okay!" Liu Xiaotian nodded subconsciously.
Do not know why.
The older brother in front of her gave her a very warm feeling.
Although not as strong as his father, he still gave her peace of mind like a mountain.
and.
This big brother is so awesome!
The wolf-like tax collector was easily defeated!
"How dare you hit me! Do you want to die?" The tax officer was furious. He stood up from the ground and rushed to Xiao Chen.
Although the other party is a sword cultivator.
But this is Yunhuo City.
It’s not his turn to be so presumptuous yet!
"Let's talk outside." Xiao Chen glanced at the tax officer and walked slowly.
The tax officer glanced at Xiao Chen coldly, then walked out with a group of guards following closely behind him.
He would like to see.
What tricks can this young man play?
"Mom, there are so many of them. Will big brother be in danger?" Liu Xiaotian was a little worried.
