I, Kiriko, the Cheater

"Master Tax Collector."

"Well, you are the village head of this village?" The tax official was so tall that he didn't even look at the village head. "According to the usual practice, pay this year's tax first."

The tax officer stretched out his right hand, spread his fingers, took out a handkerchief with his left hand, and wiped his right hand carefully and carefully, "By the way, I almost forgot, the prefect personally issued an order that this year's taxes will be higher than in previous years." Add [-]%."

The village chief knelt on the ground and trembled. Before he could speak, the villagers behind him exploded.

"What? Add another [-]%? Are you still letting us live?"

"You know that our harvest is not good this year, right? Some time ago, the prefects came to collect grain, and now they have to pay more taxes? How can we live?"

"Dog officer, fuck your mother?"

"Why do you have a mother out of nothing?"

The soldiers brought by the tax collector drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another. The shining blades reflected the cold light, and the excited crowd fell silent again.

The tax collector then snorted in satisfaction.

"My lord tax collector..."

The village head still wanted to intercede, but was interrupted by the tax official.

"Shut up! It is absolutely impossible for the imperial army to collect food. This must be your slander... Today, you must pay all your taxes. If you can't pay, then you gang of untouchables have no need to live."

The tax official's eyes were cold, and a soldier next to him understood, raised his long sword, and pointed it at the village chief, as if he wanted to cut off one of the village chief's arms first, and kill the chicken for the monkey to see.

Seeing the soldier raising his long sword, the village chief raised his hand subconsciously, trying to block it.

But how could a human hand block a long steel sword?

The sword cut down, but it was not the village chief's hand that was broken, but the soldier's hands holding the sword.

The soldier stared blankly at his severed arm that kept spurting blood. After a long while, his brain accepted what his eyes saw, and he screamed in disbelief.

"You... who are you?"

The tax official took a step back and looked in surprise at the black-clothed swordsman who suddenly appeared next to the village chief.

The black-clothed swordsman was naturally Tongzi. When she saw the soldier trying to chop off the village chief's arm in the crowd, she immediately stopped hesitating and shot quickly to save the village chief.

"Although I can understand that it is your responsibility to collect taxes, if you report the truth here, I believe the big shots above will not blame you."

Kiriko looked into the tax official's eyes and said.

"Take a good look at these villagers. They don't even have enough food for themselves. How can there be any surplus food for you?"

The tax officer couldn't even listen to a word, but kept waving his hands, telling the soldiers to go up and deal with the black-clothed swordsman who suddenly appeared: "Who are you? Do you know what crime you have committed?" ? You dare to openly confront the imperial tax collector, you are guilty of the following!"

The soldiers next to him were instructed by the tax official, and rushed up with swords in their hands.

In just one minute, in just one minute, Tongzi made all the soldiers brought by the tax official fall down.

In the end, only the tax officer was left standing.

The tax official's expression also changed from surprise at the beginning, to shock, and finally to fear and panic.

And when he saw that Tongzi was finishing off the soldiers he brought neatly and neatly, and set his sights on him, the tax official, who was so proud before, was so frightened that he fell to the ground .

"Hey... Hey!"

Tongzi walked towards each other step by step.

"Don't...don't come here!"

The tax officer crawled back with hands and feet, but even if Tongzi just walked instead of running, the tax officer could not climb back faster than Tongzi, so Tongzi soon approached him and was dressed by Tongzi. High-heeled feet on the stomach.

"Wow!"

The tax officer felt that all the air in his stomach was about to be squeezed out, and then he begged pitifully: "Please...please, don't kill me, really don't kill me, I'm just following orders..."

"Every villain likes to say that he is only following orders, especially the soldiers of the invaders, as if saying that he is following orders can completely wash away his guilt of massacring civilians."

"No, I was really just following orders. It was the prefect of Heishan City who asked me to do so."

"The prefect of Heishan City? Why did he ask you to collect taxes?"

"No, it's not just tax collection, there are other things..."

The tax official did not continue talking immediately, but looked around first, and then asked in a low voice.

"Sir, can we talk somewhere else?"

He then added.

"No, no, no, I definitely don't want to escape, but there are some words that are not suitable for public discussion."

Kiriko thought for a moment, then reached out to the tax official.

The tax official thought that the other party was going to strangle him, so he backed away in horror.

But Tongzi just grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the ground, then she turned her head and said to the village chief who was standing there at a loss from the beginning.

"Village chief, can I borrow your house for a while?"

The village head seemed to have not recovered from what happened just now, until Tongzi asked him a few times before he nodded in a daze, not knowing whether he had listened or not.

Tongzi grabbed the tax official with one hand and dragged him towards the village chief's house, while the villagers surrounding him quickly stepped aside.
