Through Time Chapter 321

Hearing this, Zhao Xie looked at Han Cheng, who was sincere in his feelings, and could not help but stare.

He originally only wanted to use the other party, but to his surprise, the other party was actually willing to put himself in danger to help him!

Zhao Xie’s heart could not help but feel a little grateful to Han Cheng.

But soon, these few moments of gratitude were extinguished by him.

It was not like he had asked Han Cheng to do so!

If you want to achieve great things, you should never be soft-hearted!

If he had made up his mind earlier, he would have gotten rid of Zhao Lang and his brother, who had no use for him!

He wouldn’t have been forced to flee to the south!

This time, he must get rid of the other side!

But the words on his lips were that

“King Han, this is too dangerous! We’d better go back to the village together first and gather our men!”

Han Cheng was anxious, it was so hard for my old man to find a chance to meet with Gong Zi Lang.

How could this not go?

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Xie’s gaze flicker, and then preempted him, saying

“I know I can’t persuade King Han! I can only do my best for King Han some more and wait until we reach Yunmengze.”

“I will then send a manor house for you again, and also prepare a team of a hundred men!”

A few moments of ruthlessness surfaced in Zhao Xie’s heart; by sending something, he was not giving the other party a chance to change his mind.

Otherwise Zhang Liang, who was on the sidelines, would surely have dissuaded!

Sure enough, Zhang Liang said at this time that

“King Han, this man Zhao Lang is cunning and ruthless, if he learns of your identity.”

“I’m afraid it won’t be good for you!”

Han Cheng looked at the two men at this point, and had a plan in his mind.

Zhang Liang was still loyal to him, just a little prejudiced against Gong Zi Lang, hum, and all brought about by Zhao Xie.

As for Zhao Xie’s sympathetic attitude, he saw it all in his eyes.

We are all descendants of kings, that little bit of the so-called imperial heart, others don’t understand, but he still can’t?

So with a serious face, he said.

“Duke rest need not be so, we are equal to the royal family and it is only right that we help each other!”

“Ah Liang, you need not worry either, and go with Gong Zi Xie to my king’s manor.”

“The king will get off here.”

After saying that, he was extremely determined to let the coachman stop and walked down himself.

Zhang Liang could only let the squire, Junior, follow, and he did not dare to show his face, after all, he had also met with the other party.

Only after the carriage had gone far away did Han Cheng turn back and run in Zhao Lang’s direction.

At that moment, Zhao Lang was looking at the liege chief and the pavilion chief in front of him with a cold face.

They were both the owners of the largest manor here and the ones in control of the place.

Although their positions were small, they did control the lives and deaths of hundreds of people in this pavilion.

In the Great Qin, it is not difficult to control the life and death of a farmer.

All one had to do was to collect more taxes or ask for an extra foot of cloth before winter came.

The peasant could then freeze and starve to death. Individual peasant families were extremely vulnerable and could not withstand much of a storm.

And these two men, just because they didn’t get along with an old man.

The tax was deliberately overcharged.

The old man’s family of four had only just enough rations for the winter.

Just enough meant that they would be hungry, but not starve to death.

The extra harvest would be enough to make the other man lose his strength and not survive the winter.

This is true killing without blood!

If a farmer hadn’t reported it, Zhao Lang wouldn’t have been able to see the problem.

“General, the men have all arrived.”

Xi walked over at this time with a group of skinny and bony peasants.

Zhao Lang nodded and said to the official at the side that

“Read out the decree, and have the local officials on the side relay it.”

In a previous life, there was still the phenomenon of different voices in ten miles in all of China, and the same was true of the current Great Qin.

It was just that the readers and the officials were able to communicate with each other.

Soon, as the decree was read out, the faces of the peasants below had a slight change.

The eyes that looked at the head of the li and the head of the pavilion also took on a little more anger.

But more than that, they were numb, for they did now know that the head of the village and the head of the pavilion were behind it.

But what could they do?

If they dare to resist, they will be the ones to suffer when these Qin troops leave.

The chiefs of the pavilions and the chiefs of the li, after the initial panic, also calmed down.

When they saw the numbness of the peasants, their faces even grew a little more smug.

These people, they couldn’t be disposed of!

Even if there was a punishment, even if they were thrown out of this position, they were still gentry!

They are still the ones who have to govern the countryside!

Because there is no one to replace them now!

“The taxes for last year, were they collected according to the decree?”

Zhao Lang ignored the two people in front of him and instead asked towards the farmers behind him.

The farmers looked at the cold-faced Zhao Lang, you looked at me, I looked at you, but none of them said anything.

Zhao Lang said indifferently that

“Since no one has spoken, it means that there is no matter.”

If the people do not sue, the officials will not investigate.

The eyes of both the chief of the pavilion and the chief of the mile lit up, and the chief of the pavilion even smiled and said that

“This general, since there is nothing to do, or else come to my humble abode to drink a cup of wine and take a rest.”

Seeing this scene, the peasants dared not speak even more.

Zhao Lang frowned slightly, it seemed that it could only be by private means at night.

Just then, a farmer suddenly spoke up and

“No, I handed in 80% of the grain last year, and my father died of hunger because of this!”

Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, the pavilion chief directly hooted and shouted to

“Nonsense and nonsense! I…”

Bang!

Before the pavilion chief could finish his words, he was smashed into the body by Zhao Lang with a shot that

“You go on.”

Soon the peasant explained the matter with hatred, and then looked at Zhao Lang.

He was already putting his life on the line here, just to see what the other side would do with it.

“Is the situation true?”

Zhao Lang looked at the Pavilion Chief in front of him and said, coldly

“I will separate these peasants for questioning, and if you dare to lie, I will have you killed on the spot!”

The chief of the pavilion shivered at the sound of this and hurriedly replied.

“This is true, but the official only collected more grain, and did not kill the old man!”

“He was the one who didn’t resist hunger, General, ask these people, who didn’t come from hunger in winter!”

“Who made him unhealthy!”

Zhao Lang also listened and nodded, saying that

“Good point.”

The farmer on the side turned pale instantly, not knowing what the penalty would be for overcharging the tax.

But it would definitely not cost him his life, and with the other man’s family wealth, he could surely escape this one.

When the other side came back again, that was when their family would be wiped out.

Instant despair for the peasants!

Just then, he suddenly saw the Great Qin general at the head of the group, suddenly send the lance in his hand forward.

The sharp lance instantly pierced the pavilion commander’s chest!

The Pavilion Chief looked at Zhao Lang with extreme shock, he did not understand why Zhao Lang, who had just said that his words were justified.

He could not understand why Zhao Lang, who had just said that his words were justified, had suddenly killed him.

Zhao Lang also had no intention to explain, and with a casual stirring of his hand, he completely cut off the other party’s chance of life.

The lich at the side was so frightened that he fell to the ground, trembling, and said to Zhao Lang that

“You… How dare you kill a Great Qin official!”

Zhao Lang sneered to the

“I didn’t kill him, I just sent the gun into his chest.”

“Look at all of us sergeants, who don’t have a little wound on them.”

“Who made him unwell!”

The lictor was stunned and wanted to say something else.

Zhao Lang’s lance was then already sent over again.

The headman also slowly fell to the ground.

Zhao Lang blandly said.

“It seems that he is not in good health either.”
