The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 651
[Chapter 651: Hit hard!]
“Sir, the humble positions have been sorted out. They are all here. Look.”
Li Jing hurriedly handed over the documents. After Fang Xiu picked them up, he glanced at them hastily.
“Why is the gap so big?”
The land tax on this Earth-Ding-One sign turned out to be more than double the previous one!
Not to mention other people, even Fang Xiu himself didn’t believe it when he saw it.
Li Jing said: “Reporting to your lord, this is still a small amount, because there are still one-third of the gentry in the dungeon who have not paid their land tax. If they pay it again, I am afraid it will be about twice as much!”
Fang Xiu heard this I was completely shocked.
Although he had thought about how much benefit these gentry had gained from the people, he had never thought that it was so exaggerated.
Twice, twice as much!
What kind of concept is this? Fang Xiu took the document, took a deep breath, and said with a cold light in his eyes: “From today on, those gentry in the dungeon will be beaten hard by me!
Beat them three times a day, morning and noon “
Everyone!”
“This”
Li Jing was stunned when he heard this.
No one knows the physique of those gentry better than him. If he takes action, there may be problems!
“Sir, please tell me, should I hit him gently, hard, or really?”
Li Jing asked cautiously.
You know, there are also things to pay attention to when playing a board.
As the name suggests, this gentle beating is just for show. Once it goes down, it looks very serious, but in fact it is just some skin trauma. It will be fine after a few days of rest.
This heavy beating is just as the name suggests, it is a heavy beating. It doesn’t matter how the beating is. Those with good physiques will suffer some flesh injuries, but those with poor physiques will probably have a hard time.
And this kind of real beating is a beating to death, without any thought of leaving a way to survive.
Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at Li Jing, and said calmly: “Hit me hard, remember, three times a day. If anything happens, I will be responsible!”
When Li Jing heard this With words, he no longer has any worries. As a half-person from Fang Mansion, he thinks he understands people named Fang quite well.
Since the Major General said so, then the problem is not big.
“What I said was to start now, didn’t you hear?”
Fang Xiu said coldly when he saw Li Jing standing there, not moving.
When Li Jing heard this, he reacted instantly and hurriedly said: “I understand, Beizi, let’s go now!”
After saying that, he left the main hall and walked straight to the dungeon.
In the dungeon, the gentry were still howling and crying. When they heard the noise coming from the door, they all turned their eyes in fear.
But when they saw that Li Jing from before had left and come back again, everyone held their breath and concentrated, not even daring to cry anymore.
Even so, Li Jing still showed no mercy and didn’t even have any extra explanation. He waved his hand and said loudly: “Drag them all out and beat them hard!”
After hearing this, the officials behind him hurriedly handed over their hands. Saluted, “Yes, sir!”
“What, what does this mean?”
The gentry were completely stunned when they heard this.
Is there any royal law or heavenly law in this world?
They didn’t even let them cry!
“General Li, is there any misunderstanding? General Li, I haven’t done anything!”
When a gentleman saw the board, his face suddenly changed with fear.
Li Jing looked at the man and said coldly: “It’s nothing, it’s just that Mr. Fang saw that you were not feeling well and wanted to straighten your bones!”
After that, he ignored him and said: “Hit me!”
“Yes, Sir! “
Those government officials don’t care what your status is, whether you are a gentry or a prefect, they will always find you.
At first, the gentry thought that Li Jing was just trying to scare them and would never dare to take action. However, when they saw this scene, they were completely frightened.
“General Li, General Li, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!”
“Li, you have gone too far. Even if I die here today, I will never beg for mercy!”
Some people cried, and naturally they also had hard feelings.
Of course there is only one gentry among so many.
Even so, Li Jing still looked at the man with some reverence.
Even among a bunch of rats, the strongest one always gets some respect, but of course, that’s it.
However
, the next second, the yamen servant didn’t hit him twice.
The gentleman actually burst into tears and begged loudly for mercy. His voice was louder than the others, and he even howled: “Don’t fight, don’t fight! I’ll pay the land tax, I’ll pay, don’t fight!” “
“”
The person who used to be the toughest person was actually the first to give in.”
Li Jing didn’t know what to think.
However, with such a person taking the lead, the subsequent development was unexpectedly smooth. Not to mention anything else, two-thirds of the people were willing to pay the land tax on the spot.
As for the remaining third, some fainted from the pain, while others fainted from shock.
This happened only twice.
The dungeon has been cleared.
At this point, all the gentry in Linze Prefecture had paid their land tax.
“Sir, you are really smart! What the general failed to do for more than half a month, it only took you a few days to do it so neatly. I really admire you for your humble position.”
Li Jing stood in front of you. Xiu’s side was filled with sincere admiration.
However, Fang Xiu had developed enough immunity to this, so he felt noisy. He waved his hand and said, “This document also has land tax. It was sent to the capital overnight and was guarded by heavy troops. Do you understand?”
“I understand this humble position!”
Li Jing Bowing, with a firm look on his face, he said: “I will successfully complete the mission of the Major General!”
“Go!”
“Yes, General!”
Li Jing left, and Fang Xiu stood there, hesitated for a while, and then He stood up and walked to the door.
He raised his eyes and looked at the starry sky. The stars were dotted and looked extremely beautiful.
Fang Xiu sighed secretly and said silently.
Success or failure depends on this!
Under the same night sky.
Zhou Mansion.
The gentry gathered together again, although of course there were a few fewer people than the first time.
Those people were all beaten, and now they are still lying on the hospital bed recuperating, unable to move.
“Mr. Zhou Ge, Mr. Zhou Ge, you have to make the decision for us. We are loyal to Your Majesty and to the imperial court. We have done nothing wrong for many years. He can stop. Why can he be so arrogant, scolding and scolding? If you beat me,
beat me!”
“Mr. Zhou Ge, look at us and see how we have been beaten by Fang Xiu! It is a rule of the imperial court that we do not have to pay land taxes during the land sale. He is just an envoy, how can he be more powerful than the imperial court?”
“Mr. Zhou Ge, I know that this matter is difficult for you. Even in the imperial court, there are many disagreements, and your majesty is also affected by villains. But as long as we work together, we will be able to pull Fang Xiu down from that position!”
