"Fuck, my understanding is so damn superficial."
After listening to Wu Jieyu's explanation, Zhang Liansong blurted out with wide eyes.
In his opinion, whether it was deploying troops outside or showing off his strength at the dock, it was all to ensure their safety while showing off.
But now it seems...
The calculations of my master are so far-sighted!
Catching Guo Yijing and hitting him hard was one of his thunderous methods.
The label of "father's murderer" will make Guo Yijing, who has the home advantage, lose his mind.
He stayed in the cabin and deliberately came down late on the pretext of changing into his official uniform, allowing the remnants of the Donglin Party to express their goodwill while giving Guo Yijing a window to vent his feelings.
The purpose of attacking and beating up this grandson openly was not only to embarrass the King of Shu, but also to let He Zhishan, the head of the local nobles, see his determination to break off relations with the Beggars' Gang and his own strength.
Thus, it lays the groundwork for the next 'testing the waters'!
'Hiss.'
It's so showy that it makes your scalp tingle!
Compared with my own brute force way of pretending to be a pen, this kind of interlocking calculation is really awesome!
Near the city gate, He Zhishan, who was thinking about how to use Xu Shan to seek benefits for the local gentry, said sincerely: "Imperial Envoy Xu..."
"You have come a long way, and you must be exhausted from the journey. I have prepared some wine in the city to welcome the imperial envoys."
Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled and replied, "I, the Imperial Envoy, accept the Prefect's kindness on behalf of all of you. However, in this urgent matter, His Majesty has ordered us to review the accounts of Shu County as soon as possible and arrange for the suppression of the rebellion as soon as possible."
"I hope that Magistrate He will understand and cooperate with me on this point."
"I understand and will cooperate! Then, after we enter the city, I will directly arrange for the imperial envoys to go to their bases?"
"Forget about the station. We're stationed at the Zhenfu Division in the capital, and we're used to it. So, we can change our accommodation to the local Zhenfu Division."
"what?"
After Xu Shan finished saying this, He Zhishan subconsciously froze there.
"What? Is there a problem, Magistrate He?"
"No, no problem. It's just that the conditions at the Pacification Office are very poor."
"I'm not here to enjoy myself, I'm here to serve His Majesty."
"Yep!"
"Speaking of which, why didn't the Shu County Pacification Office send anyone to the ferry today?"
"This imperial envoy wants to find out more about the local situation."
Facing Xu Shan's question, He Zhishan, with a slightly stiff smile, said in silence: "Imperial Envoy Xu, you may not know that the Shu County Pacification Office has been a bit busy recently."
"Busy? Busy about what? Catching rebels?"
“No, taxation!”
"tax?"
After Xu Shan finished speaking, He Zhishan, who did not dare to say more, nodded awkwardly.
"Alas, it was only when I arrived in Shu County that I discovered that the Pacification Office had such great power in the local area."
“Everything can be taxed!”
As they were talking, the group had already entered the city.
The merchants and common people along the way, after seeing Xu Shan and his companions in their Feiyu suits, hid in fear on both sides of the official road. However, the eyes they looked at them with were filled with hatred and indignation.
"Whose child is this? Take him away quickly."
"Don't want to die?"
Several children who ran towards the official road were directly picked up and taken aside by several kind-hearted people.
The parents who came out to chase after him were frightened and kept thanking him.
There was no need for anyone to clear the way on the long and narrow roads. Both ordinary people and merchants avoided them as much as possible.
Even the vendors near the road subconsciously moved their stalls back a little.
Afraid of blocking the way!
"You know what, the Jinyiwei in Shu County are quite intimidating."
Goudan, who saw all of this, smiled and muttered.
"This is not a good thing."
"The way people look at us is mostly filled with hatred."
Wu Jieyu, who was standing next to him, noticed all this and replied.
'Snapped. '
'Clatter.'
"Oops!"
Just as Wu Jieyu finished speaking, a shopkeeper in a restaurant along the street was kicked out of the house.
As his body smashed over the sign outside, he let out a scream.
"Sir, Sir, please stop hitting me."
"I don't want the money for your wine and food."
"cocoa……"
"You've come to collect taxes three times this month. No one can handle this."
"Please, please, sir, please be magnanimous and let me go."
The shopkeeper, ignoring his own injuries, crawled and knelt in front of his own restaurant, screaming in a crying voice.
'Snapped. '
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a foot wearing cloud-piercing boots stretched out and kicked the shopkeeper hard in the face.
"Ow."
The kick was so fierce that it caused blood to come out of the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth.
So that his screams were even more heartbreaking!
“Damn…”
"You're an ungrateful person."
“Is this the tax we are supposed to collect?”
"This tax was ordered by His Majesty. We, the Emperor's personal soldiers, are here to collect it."
"What's wrong?"
"You bastard, do you still want to disobey my order?"
'bass! ’
As he said this, a Jinyiwei dressed in Feiyu uniform came out, immediately drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword, and put it to the neck of the restaurant owner.
Seeing their attire, both Xu Shan and the accompanying Jinyiwei understood why the common people were in awe of them and yet shared a common hatred for their enemy.
This is the emotional crux!
"Is this how the Jinyiwei collect taxes?"
“Who will pay the taxes collected?”
"The imperial court, Your Majesty? Or the Prince of Shu's palace?"
Facing Xu Shan's questioning, He Zhishan on the side looked embarrassed on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
The Jinyiwei of Shu County have now become the minions of Kuidou. However, they are bullying the market under the name of "the emperor's personal guards."
Sometimes, they even don’t take the people in their yamen seriously.
Now Li Gui meets Li Kui...
There was a good show to watch.
"I dare not disobey your order, but Your Majesty, you can't let us live, right?"
"Are you making irresponsible remarks about His Majesty?"
"well!"
"Then today, I will chop off your head in the name of the emperor's personal soldiers."
"Set an example for the whole street."
"If anyone dares not to pay taxes again..."
"Just like this beast."
'bass.'
After saying this, the Jinyiwei from Shu County who had leaned forward actually raised his right arm.
'Uh-huh. '
'Pfft. '
"what……"
But the moment he raised his hand and swung the sword, everyone saw that the arm of the Jinyiwei, which was holding the Embroidered Spring Sword, was completely separated from his body.
The Shu County Jinyiwei, whose right arm was cut off from mid-air, let out a shrill scream at this moment.
"Ok?"
"Who the hell dares to touch the emperor's personal soldiers in broad daylight?"
"Do you want to die?"
Originally, several Jinyiwei who were still hiding in the restaurant drew their swords and rushed out after seeing this scene.
When they rushed to the street, they saw He Zhishan, the prefect of Shu County, accompanied by a young man in a crimson dragon robe, standing not far away on horseback.
