Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 219

219. Chapter 219, Do you know the seriousness of the matter? !

Since embarking on the journey back home, everything Cohen Puglia saw and heard was beautiful.

He imagined his future life all the way.

But he didn’t expect that the first discord he heard came from his own home.

So my house is on fire?

He suppressed the anger in his heart, stopped outside, and listened to the conversation inside.

“… the farm machinery loan fee, land tax, head tax, your family has reduced the fees as much as possible, don’t be ungrateful.”

“Thank you, sir, thank you, sir… but…” his father’s rather cowardly voice came from inside, “Didn’t the notice board posted in the farm before, and the officials from the provincial capital, say that these are all free? They said that we will all be agricultural workers in the future, and the benefits and allowances we get are all ours. They said that the means of production are public and everyone can use them. And the grain produced is not ours, it’s all public, we get our own benefits and allowances… Why do we have to use our own allowances to pay these fees?”

“Oh, old man Priya, you can talk now, right?”

“Master from the provincial capital, one or two years ago, they were all mud legs, how could they be called master?”

“What announcement, go and see now, is there any announcement posted there?”

Another round of scolding came.

Cohen Priya’s face became extremely cold, but his eyes were hot as if they were about to spit fire.

He half turned his head and looked at Momo, as if asking what was going on.

Momo looked a little embarrassed, his eyes wandering.

He hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: “I don’t know why the master’s people came to your house today… Well, brother Cohen, I have something else to do. I’ll put the things here for you. Let’s talk later…”

Obviously, this Momo didn’t want to get involved in this matter, and ran away.

Puglia didn’t have time to hold him back and ask more questions. In the house, his old father’s voice sounded again:

“But… my son is coming back soon. Cohen went to fight for the governor and broke one of his hands. We have to keep the remaining allowance in our family, otherwise what will we do in the future… ah…”

Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of “pop” and his father’s scream.

“You are shameless, right!”

Hearing this, Cohen was already full of anger, and he didn’t have the courage to wait outside any longer.

He pushed the door hard and entered the house.

After a quick glance, he saw his younger brother and sister hiding in the side room, peeking through the crack of the door; he saw his mother sitting next to him crying, his father who had just been slapped and covered his face, and three arrogant men.

He knew these three people. They

were all so-called “masters”, male servants of the former owner of Weire Farm. They did not farm or work, but devoted themselves to serving the owner of the manor, Master Qiklin, who was the leader of the manor militia.

Now, Master Qiklin no longer had ownership of Weire Farm, but he still relied on the policy of the alliance when it reorganized the Qinggu Mutual Aid Association, and transformed himself into the chief executive of Weire Farm. And the former male servants, under his operation, became civil servants in the village-level administrative unit of the farm.

Outside the door, Puglia had probably understood the whole story.

It was nothing more than Qiklin and his lackeys still treating Weire Farm as their private property; those who stayed in the farm and did not move away were still his slaves.

What so-called agricultural machinery use fees, land taxes, head taxes… these are not in the alliance, but this guy has set up his own names and collected them with the administrative power of the government.

Will the collected taxes be handed over to the alliance?

Obviously not.

They don’t even dare to touch the output of the land. Because after the reform of Beiqing Valley, all the land is state-owned. How dare they take things from the alliance government?

But from the serfs… oh, now the agricultural workers, they still have the courage to rob their allowances and their welfare rations.

And it’s big.

Now, Puglia is very angry.

He is not only angry about the unbearable treatment his family has received, not only angry about the slap his father received, but also angry about the subversive challenge to his ideals.

Although he has only been in the army for a few months, he deeply agrees that he paid the price of his half-crippled body to fight for the happy life of all the people of Angry Owl Star, to break the cannibalistic environment formed in the wasteland environment, and to rebuild a beautiful home.

This is a glorious mission, and he regrets that he can’t continue to fight for this great cause in the army.

When he returned to his hometown and continued his great cause in another way, he saw this scene.

This was a betrayal of the alliance’s ideals, a subversion of the Governor’s Declaration, and a humiliation to countless people who risked their lives for the entire planet!

He asked calmly in anger: “Who hit my father?”

The leading man looked up and down at this half-disabled man with a completely different temperament, and had some impression: “Cohen?”

“It was me, who just hit him?” “

I did it, so what?” A man next to him popped up.

With a crisp sound of “snap”, Priya’s intact left hand slapped. It ‘s true

that he had a broken hand, but he was a veteran who had been trained in the magical recruit camp and had fought on the battlefield for three months with real swords and guns. He had at least seven or eight lives in his hands. He was the sharp knife that could be selected for such a difficult task as conquering the bunker.

The lost hand was gone, but the remaining one was still strong.

The man was prepared, but he still couldn’t dodge or block the blow. He was slapped hard and fell to the ground, unable to stand up.

The other two saw this and rushed towards Priya.

But they were no match for Priya, a half-crippled veteran. They were all knocked to the ground with just one hand.

In the end, the three of them could only support each other and run away in a hurry.

“You went out to serve in the army for a few months, which is great, right? You came back with a broken hand and a blind eye, a useless person! Just wait for me!”

Before leaving, he did not forget to say a cruel word.

…

After those guys were beaten away, the brothers and sisters who were hiding in the house ran out and hugged their brother on the left and right. The father put down his hand and looked at his son who had been away from home for many months. In addition to the broken hand and disability, his temperament had also changed a lot. He didn’t know what expression to show. The mother wiped her tears, walked in front of him, stroked his stumps and his injured half face, and burst into tears.

Cohen Puglia comforted his brothers and sisters and sent them back to their room. Only then did he have time to talk to his parents.

At this moment, the mother had put away her tears, but when she saw his right hand, she still showed a sad expression: “I shouldn’t have let you join the army at that time!”

“Don’t be like this, Mom.” Cohen pretended to be relaxed and said, “I never regretted joining the army. In the east, there are more people like us who need help, and we are going to liberate them. What’s more, although I didn’t come back intact, at least I came back, and the army’s policies are also very good. I brought a lot of pensions, enough for us to renovate the house, buy a lot of things, and buy our own farm machinery… I am still at the rank of E9, which is higher than most people on the farm. Life will be better in the future.”

“I would rather you be fine than want that pension.”

Cohen had expected his mother’s reaction. A mother who loves her son must be like this.

He could only keep persuading her with kind words, and his mother’s mood gradually improved.

At this moment, his father spoke with worry: “Today, you beat Master Zeckerlin’s men away, they will not let it go.”

Cohen turned his head and replied: “Yeah, I think so. However, now is the world of the Alliance, not the time for him to cover the sky with one hand. I will write a letter later, and when a caravan passes by, I will ask someone to send it to the Veterans Security Bureau in Beigu City, they will take care of it.”

When he said this, he seemed full of confidence.

He really thought so.

“What will happen then?”

“That Zeckerlin will definitely be punished, and our entire farm will no longer be oppressed and humiliated by him.”

Hearing this, his father did not become happy, but sighed and said, “If you ask me… why don’t we give them the money, and at most apologize to those people who were injured by you today? If they knew that you had so much pension and retirement benefits, the little allowance they asked for would not be much, so we should give it to them…”

“What are you talking about?” Cohen was very dissatisfied, “How can you encourage the arrogance of that bastard? Although the pension is generous, it was earned by my own hands, and no matter how much more, there is no room for them to give more! The allowances of the two of you are earned by hard work in the fields, and you can’t give them any less!”

Old Priya wanted to say something, but was stopped by his son: “Okay, Dad, don’t say anything more, I’ll write a letter right away, that guy won’t be able to jump for a few days.”

Afterwards, the Priya family threw away their worries and had a reunion dinner, and chatted together for a long time.

He also wanted to help his mother clean up, but was stopped.

“Why are you still helping out when you’re in this state? Go and have a rest.”

Cohen did not force himself and returned to his room.

The newly built wooden house at home was not small. In order to facilitate work in the fields, the wooden house was located on the edge of the manor. There was a lot of open space around it. The wood was very cheap because of the special period, so when it was built, the children’s family was considered. The area was not small and many rooms were divided.

Back in the room, Cohen took out the paper and pen he brought back and began to write.

Before leaving home, Cohen Puglia only knew a few words and was considered semi-illiterate; in the few months in the army, he also made a lot of progress in culture. The army also issued them stationery, including diaries and pens and ink.

It was a bit difficult for Cohen to write a colorful article; but if he was careful and used common words to write things clearly, it would not be a big problem.

It was just that he wrote a little slowly, but he had nothing else to do now.

He recorded in detail in his diary what he saw and heard on his way back home, the infuriating things he encountered when he returned home, and his thoughts on them.

Along the way, he saw the great changes in the Beiqing Valley area, and felt a sense of happiness and expectation.

He saw the remnants of the old times, and the anger and pain that still flared up at the Weir Farm. He

despised these shameful people, and looked forward to the alliance.

He wrote a lot of words, and it took a long time. It was already late at night, and he was still writing under the light.

He wanted to put all these things into words.

When the time comes, he will tear off this part of the diary, and when the tractor passes by, he will pay some allowance to the driver to help deliver the letter. It should be feasible

. If it doesn’t work, he can go to Beigu City by himself.

Anyway, the road is smooth now, and it will only take two or three days.

I’m just worried that if I’m not at home, my parents will be in danger.

Just thinking about it, he heard a strange movement outside. He

had just been discharged from the army, and his vigilance was still there.

He opened a crack in the window and looked out, and he saw the deformed monsters.

There were no high-level ones, they were all ordinary, cannon fodder-type deformed monsters with only melee capabilities, but at a glance, there were at least twenty of them!

Why are there so many aberrations that almost surround their home?

He threw the diary under the bed, then got up quickly and planned to wake up his family.

But at this moment, the bolted wooden door of his house was smashed open.

He looked over and saw a familiar figure running away in panic. Before he could chase him, two aberrations tied with ropes but now loosened rushed in from the door.

Cohen subconsciously wanted to draw his gun to fight, but at this moment, he had neither weapons nor hands.

…

“I’m done with the story I want to tell.”

Millia de Jong let out a long breath and closed the diary in her hand.

She and her teammates are from the team directly under the Supreme Court of the Alliance, code-named “Monster Hunters”. Their team has a total of 20 people, responsible for going south to investigate the corruption in the Northern Qinggu Province .

Millia de Jong raised her head and stared at her brother-in-law in front of her.

“Captain Jason Morgan, what do you think after hearing this story?”

Jason Morgan, whose hair has turned white at a young age due to his busy schedule in recent months, put his trembling hands down from the table.

He was silent for a moment and said, “I am very sad.”

“What else?”

“I am sorry.”

“What else?”

“I feel guilty.”

Milia de Jong slammed the table and said, “It’s all perfunctory! Do you know that there are widespread cases of dereliction of duty, corruption, and even officials murdering civilians in your jurisdiction?! The incident I’m talking about is by no means an isolated case in the three million square kilometers of Beiqing Valley! Do you know the seriousness of the matter?!”
