"Since taxes are collected by imperial decree, why aren't all of them recorded in the accounts?"

“Why don’t you issue certificates when forcing merchants to pay taxes?”

"So repeatedly, and with such violent means. Do you truly deserve the title 'Emperor's Personal Guards'?"

Just as Feng Kun was about to evacuate, a shrill shout suddenly came from the Wanzhou Pacification Office.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Feng Kun frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?"

"To reply to General Feng, it's still Lu Ning, Deputy Captain Lu."

"They said the tax we collected wasn't recorded in the accounts. Furthermore, they didn't leave any receipts for the merchants."

“It doesn’t conform to Ming law.”

"They blocked the door with their men and prevented us from loading the tax money onto the truck."

After his subordinate finished saying this, Feng Kun's face became extremely gloomy.

"It's Lu Ning again?"

"You really gave him face, didn't you?"

As he said this, Feng Kun rushed out angrily.

At this time, in the courtyard, Lu Ning and his direct relatives were strongly preventing Feng Kun's men from moving the tax silver out of here.

Even though the other party outnumbered him by far, Lu Ning had no intention of backing down.

"Lu Ning, do you know what you are doing?"

"Do you really think that just because you have two battalions of the Jingjia Army backing you up, you can disobey my orders in the Zhenfu Division?"

'bass! ’

As he growled these words, Feng Kun rushed out and drew his blade.

Whether it was those who followed him or the Jinyiwei who regarded him as their leader in the Zhenfu Division, they all followed suit.

The sound of hundreds of people drawing their swords sounded extremely harsh at this moment.

But Lu Ning, who had only a few people around him, still looked at them coldly.

As a former lieutenant general of the Jingjia Army, Lu Ning, who led the Jingjia Army's most elite third and fourth battalions, was ostracized by his colleagues precisely because he was unwilling to go along with others in the army.

However, due to his prestige in the army, they were also afraid that his integrity would ruin the plans of the Prince of Shu's Palace.

Therefore, he was forcibly "demoted" to the Pacification Office. The intention was to give him some time off, to cut him off from his former subordinates. If he still refused to change his ways, they would find a random excuse to make him disappear from public view completely.

Who would have thought that even with the arrival of the Pacification Office, there would still be no peace!

Feng Kun was extremely embarrassed several times, and this time he directly disobeyed his orders.

In his opinion, it was a blatant provocation.

"Envoy Feng, I have no intention of offending you."

"You keep saying you're collecting taxes by imperial order, but I haven't seen the approval document, and the taxes we've collected haven't been deposited into the treasury or recorded in the accounts."

"I have my doubts about this, subordinate."

Hearing this, Feng Kun raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly: "Do you have doubts?"

"Why? Do you still want this pacification envoy to show you His Majesty's imperial edict?"

"Are you fucking worthy?"

After he finished speaking, Lu Ning, still serious, replied: "Your subordinate, of low rank, has no authority, so naturally, your words are not worthy."

"It is reported that the imperial envoy from the capital will be able to enter the city today."

"If there really is such an imperial decree, the imperial envoy who came here would surely know it very well."

"I, your subordinate, would like to ask him for confirmation."

"Please also ask Envoy Feng to give me this opportunity."

Hearing this, Feng Kun was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Who should I ask for confirmation? The imperial envoy?"

"Did a donkey kick your fucking brain?"

"This is Shu County. We only need to obey the orders of the Shu Palace."

"As for the imperial envoy..."

"What are they?"

"Laozi, even if I tell him now that the 'imperial edict' is fake, do they dare to argue with him in Shu County?"

"You..." After Feng Kun said this arrogantly, Lu Ning, who was furious, glared at him.

"I'm going to throw the Ming law in his face right now and tell him word for word: I'm guilty, so who dares to touch me?"

"Go to him for confirmation?"

"go!"

"While I'm at it, tell him a message for me..."

"Let him stay in Shu County and bow his head and be a good man. Otherwise, I, Feng Kun, the emperor's personal guard, don't mind letting them become ghosts."

Feng Kun, who doesn't even act, has arrogance and domineeringness written all over her face.

After he finished speaking, one of his subordinates pointed his embroidered spring knife at Lu Ning and the others with disdain and said, "A good dog doesn't block the road."

"Get out of here immediately before Envoy Feng loses his temper."

"Lu, listen up! Today, we're going to kill you right here..."

"Tomorrow, the story that will be widely spread in Shu County is that we are 'eliminating harm for the people.'"

"This is reality."

'Crack!'

When Lu Ning heard the sarcasm from Feng Kun and the others, he clenched the knife handle with a cold expression, making it crackle.

"how?"

"You still want to draw your sword?"

"You, Lu Ning, if you dare to draw your sword today, I will make sure you, them, and your family members die without a burial place."

When Feng Kun pointed at Lu Ning and the others and finished speaking, the lackey beside him echoed, "Confiscate their property and exterminate their clan. Do you understand?"

"Haha."

When he finished speaking, the audience burst into shrill laughter again.

Lu Ning doesn't care about his own life or death, but he cannot ignore his brothers and their families.

The deafening laughter forced him to face reality and he loosened his grip on the knife handle in humiliation.

Is it the same everywhere in Shu County?

Within the army, there is collusion and collusion between the upper and lower levels.

Is it also the same when I arrive at the Pacification Office and become the 'Emperor's personal soldier'?

No way to serve the country!

At this moment, Lu Ning's heart was cold.

"Go away!"

"Have the tax money loaded onto the cart. Let's go home!"

"Yes."

"Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"

"Don't you have any idea of ​​how you've fared in Shu County?"

"Incorruptible?"

"Enforce the law?"

"You've become a joke."

The harsh mocking sounds one after another echoed in the ears of Lu Ning and others.

"you……"

The old brothers who followed him were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to say something, but Lu Ning stopped them with his hand.

For him, everything he believed in before collapsed at this moment!

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far away and reached everyone's ears.

"Sir, something bad has happened?"

"Ok?"

Feng Kun and others who heard this voice subconsciously turned their heads to look.

'Plop.'

Because the Jinyiwei who delivered the message was too nervous, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Look at your potential."

"What's going on?"

Feng Kun asked immediately with a stern look on his face.

"Qin, the imperial envoy has entered the city."

"Ah? Is that all?"

"Qin, after the imperial envoy entered the city, he happened to catch Deputy Captain Liu and his men, and went to collect taxes."

"Ok?"

"so what?"

"Deputy Captain Liu and others were accused by the imperial envoy of 'falsely conveying the imperial edict'..."

"Lingchi was carried out in the street."

'boom.'

Upon hearing this, the huge Pacification Office was instantly in an uproar.

At this moment, the disdain on Feng Kun's face was instantly replaced by sinisterness.

And there was a little more light in the originally dull eyes of Lu Ning and others.
