Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chu Zhuo looked sternly at Supervisor Qu. "Superintendent Qu, if some villagers were disrespectful, it would have been fine to teach them a lesson. Instead, you tortured them to death. Your methods are cruel and unbecoming of a leader. Just yesterday, over twenty villagers from Lingjia Village rebelled because taxes were too heavy and the soldiers were too violent. Do you really want to incite uprisings everywhere?"

"If this creates a large-scale effect, with repercussions everywhere, and the north remains unsettled, and the south erupts again, who will be blamed for this crime then?"

His eyes fell on Song Lao San's face: "Or is it that Captain Song can bear it? How great is his ability?"

Qu Jiantou frowned, as if he was also thinking about this matter.

Song Laosan wanted to speak angrily, but Qu Jiantou raised his hand to stop him.

"Captain Song, please stop now. The collection of taxes is more important."

"Five villages must be expropriated today. No further delay."

Song Laosan looked somewhat unhappy, but although Qu Jiantou's position was not very high, he represented the opinion of his superiors, so he could not object.

Then he thought of something more important, so he said, "They've already been punished. I believe others won't dare to cause trouble. You villagers can go up the mountain and bring the food down."

But none of the villagers moved. Taking away 90% of the food, what's the difference between that and taking their lives?

Qiao Jianer took a step forward.

"Sir, the higher-ups are demanding that half of the grain and silver be collected. Is this in accordance with the regulations?"

Chu Zhuo looked somewhat helpless. He had already expropriated dozens of villages so far. He had reported this problem to his superiors more than once. He had replaced several supervisors around him, but they all took a tolerant attitude towards this kind of thing.

Until a warden told him the truth. Everyone who was sent to collect the grain, including the soldiers, had to make a little bit of money from it, just like soldiers were allowed to clean up and massacre the city during a war. This was to increase their enthusiasm and efficiency. If all the grain collected was handed over, no one would have the motivation to work.

The current collection is sweeping the country because everyone can benefit a lot from it, and the north is pressing for more.

Even with his benefactor in front of him, he was unable to make any changes and felt filled with guilt.

But he will also fight for it.

"Qujiantou, just like other villages, take 60-70% of the harvest, leaving a little for the villagers so they can have enough to eat and eat. Draining the pond to catch all the fish is definitely not a good thing."

As for Song Lao San, he didn't even want to give him a glance.

The villagers all looked at Chu Zhuo with pleading eyes, as if they regarded him as their savior.

When Song Laosan said he would take away 90%, they were disappointed. They could only accept 60% to 70%.

As long as we can survive this year and this war, and have a good harvest next year, everything will be fine.

The other villages are also about 60% to 70% and they can also grit their teeth.

This General Chu is still a bit kind-hearted. Maybe if he collects taxes from a family, they will only ask him to pay 60%.

Qu Jiantou frowned and said nothing, as if he was thinking.

Seeing that these villagers were hiding grain, he originally wanted to collect more, but it was their fault that he caught them making a mistake.

Song Lao San whispered, "Qu Jiantou, your hundred brothers don't want to be wronged. These villagers have made a big mistake, and they are looking forward to it. We can't let them down."

Qu Jiantou took a deep breath.

Then, Song Lao San looked at Qiao Jianer with a sinister look.

"You little bastard, did you see those two villagers being beaten half to death? They scared all the villagers, but not a seven or eight-year-old girl like you. You're really a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at Qiao Lianer.

"You are disobedient and rebellious. You are so young and ignorant. Don't think I won't kill you just because you are a child."

Song Laosan didn't seem to be joking, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

He beat an old man in his sixties and killed a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Song Lao San is definitely not a good person to be able to reach this position.

Everyone in the Qiao family looked terrified, and the villagers were also shocked.

Zhao Lizheng quickly pleaded: "Captain Song, she is still young and ignorant. She said one extra word. Please forgive her. I won't let her say it again."

"He's so rebellious at such a young age. What will happen to him when he grows up? It's better to kill him to prevent future troubles."

As he spoke, he moved his feet and stabbed at Qiao Jianer with his sword without hesitation.

The Qiao family opened their eyes wide and felt as if the world had stopped. They rushed forward with all their strength.

However, their speed was completely unstoppable.

"Song Laosan, don't do evil. This is your daughter Jian'er." Qiao Yunni's face was pale and she screamed heartbreakingly.

"I will kill my daughter." Song Lao San said quickly as he was in a murderous mood.

The sharp sword in his hand slashed diagonally, about to cut off half of Qiao Lianer's neck.

Qiao Jianer closed his eyes without any fear or retreat.

A thought flashed through her mind.

Is she wrong?

She is right to speak up for the weak and stand on the side of justice.

If I remain indifferent today in order to protect myself, who will speak up for me when disaster strikes me in the future?

If there is no fire to light up these people who are stuck in the mud, then I am willing to light a lamp for everyone, and I am willing to burn myself.

If she really died, I hope her bloodshed and sacrifice can make the extortion and plunder this time a little less severe.

The villagers all shed tears. The Qiao family had built a large courtyard and were about to move in. They had almost sold all their food and could not take anything with them.

Qiao Jianer has plenty of skills in making money. Even if the silver is taken away, there will still be a steady stream of wealth in the future.

But she stood up and sacrificed herself for everyone's food and clothing.

The villagers all knelt down and begged for mercy.

But they could only watch the scene unfold and could do nothing. The soldiers drew their swords and blocked them, blocking the crazy Qiao family.

The Qiao family and the soldiers started fighting, and the situation became chaotic.

They all had red eyes, men and women, old and young, all went into battle together.

The men who knew how to fight rushed to the front, and those who were armed with swords and knives were unable to defeat them.

But what's the use.

Qu Jiantou looked at the girl who was about to die and felt that she looked more and more familiar. He suddenly remembered the taste of the fruit called strawberry that he had eaten that day. It was sweet, as clear as stream water, and had the fragrance of falling petals.

At that time, the girl mentioned the difficulties faced by the people and their joy at the harvest.

His pupils dilated slightly and he wanted to speak, but he realized it was too late.

The swift sword whizzed past her ears with the sound of wind, and a fierce murderous intent was approaching. Her hair was lifted up a little. Qiao Lian'er suddenly opened her eyes, lowered her chin slightly, and looked at the sky.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly.
