Chapter 26 Jiangnan Change

"Mr. Cang, isn't this a little too much? % of the Marquis..." Zheng Bin said to Cang Lan carefully. After hiding in Jiangnan for many years, Zheng Bin is no longer the willful and heroic boy. Instead, he gradually becomes mature and persistent, and becomes meticulous.

"This is what the Marquis asked me to do. Don't make any noise. How can the second uncle transfer the ox from Lintong? This time, with the Marquis's order, don't worry. I have long wanted to deal with the tax collector under Liu Ji. Relying on my daughter as a concubine for Liu Ji, I was with me for five or six. I didn't get rid of his green shit today, even if he had never eaten leeks."

Canglan had long disliked the tax collector. He didn't even count this guy, but he actually dared to salivate at Haitang. He had been tolerant for a day or two, and now he had Yun Xiao's handwritten to make trouble. Then he wouldn't make trouble in the death.

"Since it is the order of the marquis, let's plan it carefully. At least don't let others catch the handle." Zheng Bin said thinking, touching the three long beards.

Canglan was talking when suddenly a village warrior ran in and said to Canglan: "Cang Ye, that old bastard is here again. Now he is teasing Lao Wu's wife in the fish stall, saying that he can't pay the tax and he will arrest him. He will capture Lao Wu's wife."

"Fuck! This old guy is trying to die. The people come and ask the brothers to gather at the fish stall. Today, let these bastards know how powerful he is. After being furious for several months, they will be out together today." Canglan grabbed the sabre from the shelf and walked out.

Zheng Bin wanted to stop him, but he still held back his hands and didn't move. In fact, he felt very hard, and he endured the old guy teased Zheng Shuang last time. He finally didn't have to endure it today. The Marquis said it right and the word "名" was a knife on the head, which was not good.

Canglan led a dozen subordinates out of the mansion and came to the street.

After years of operation by the Yun family, Yueyang City has become quite prosperous. It is far from the dead city it used to be. There are people coming and going on the streets.

Two village heroes opened the crowd in front, and Canglan walked on the street with his head held high. As the agent of the Yun family's forces in Yueyang, everyone on both sides of the road wanted him to salute him respectfully.

The fish stall is not far from Nancheng, because there are a large number of salted fish sold here every day, and it is the largest salted fish market by Dongting Lake. Therefore, there are many people coming to sell salted fish.

This place is managed by Canglan's confidant Xiao Wu, but the newly appointed tax collector was salivating about the taxes here. He was frightened by Canglan several times when he wanted to collect taxes. Today, he didn't know what he was crazy about. He actually came to the fish stall to cause trouble again. It just so happened that Yun Xiao's handwriting had just sent a letter to Jiangnan.

"Boy, pay the tax quickly. I don't know what kind of Marquis Yun, I only know the prince. This is the fief of King Jiujiang, so the prince has the right to collect taxes. You kid dare to give one less son. I will destroy your whole family today and sell your delicate little lady to a kiln to pay the tax."

The tax collector had two beards and a black bean-like mole on the corner of his mouth. The deer-headed and mouse-headed look was not a good thing. I really didn't know that such a person could give birth to a girl who was as beautiful as a flower. He would have fascinated the old pervert Liu Ji, King of Jiujiang.

"This is Yunhou's industry. According to the agreement, Yunhou's industry will not pay taxes in Yueyang." Xiao Wu argued with reason, but the tax collector brought forty or fifty tax soldiers and surrounded Xiao Wu in the house. There were only a dozen people following Xiao Wu. They all held harpoons and hatchets in their hands. As long as the tax soldiers dared to take action, they would fight to the death.

"Marquis Yun? Hehehe, news comes from Chang'an. Your Marquis Yun has rebelled against the Great Han and is no longer the Marquis of the Great Han. You guys should use him to scare me. Even if Marquis Yun comes to you today, you will have to pay taxes to me."

Canglan heard it clearly outside. It turned out that the news from Chang'an reached Jiangnan. He was wondering what kind of courage this kid had eaten, but it turned out that he had received the news. No wonder he had much confidence in speaking. He must have been ordered by Liu Ji.

"What a big tone, you said that Marquis Yun is no longer a marquis of the Han Dynasty. Did Your Majesty have issued an order to abolish the title of Marquis of Lintong? As an official of the King of Jiujiang, what is the crime of the Marquis of the King of Kings of Wangyi? You should know it yourself."

Canglan shouted and walked out of the crowd watching the fun. When the people watching the fun saw that Canglan was coming. Out of respect for the Yun family, they immediately dodged to both sides and gave up a path for Canglan.

Seeing Canglan coming in a fierce manner, more than a dozen strong local warriors came. The tax collector felt a little weak, but then he thought again that the tax soldiers around him were all pretended to be the guards of the King of Jiujiang. They were all good players in the Jiujiang army. Forty or fifty people were dealing with the mob of less than thirty people. They should be somewhat sure.

Thinking of this, the tax collector's courage became much stronger. He stood up and walked out and said, "Good you, Canglan, the one with the surname Yun in Chang'an was quite right. I respect you a little, but now the one with the surname Yun has fallen in Chang'an. Don't be unaware of the current affairs. You are here today. I might as well tell you clearly, the King of Jiujiang. In the future, no matter whose property is, as long as it is within the fiefdom of Jiujiang, you will have to pay taxes to the prince.

Hehe, Canglan. Your Yun family has so many industries in Yueyang, so I think you should take the lead. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being polite.”

The tax collector's tone was very tough and there was no room for change. This was just in line with Canglan's appetite. He was here to make trouble today. There was no need for him to turn around.

"Ha, I joke that the taxes of the Yun family are something you can collect if you say you can. Since you don't take my marquis seriously, I will naturally not take the bullshit prince seriously. I know the truth, so I will get out of here today. In the future, I will not cause trouble in the Yun family's industry, and I will not know the truth..."

Canglan said, "Swish", and the Township Yong behind him also pulled out the saber at the same time.

Seeing this, the tax collector hurriedly hid among the tax soldiers behind him. Standing behind a tall tax soldiers, he leaned his head and shouted, "What's wrong with me? Do you dare to cut me down?"

"Brothers, I have been angry with this old boy for several months. Today I will pull him out and let him see if I dare to chop people today."

With Canglan's order, more than 200 rural heroes suddenly rushed out of the surrounding area. Not only were some of these rural heroes holding sabers, but no less than 100 were actually holding crossbows.

The silver crossbow arrows shone coldly in the sun, and the tax collector's head immediately shrank back. The tax soldiers were also stunned, and they did not expect that Canglan would dare to use a crossbow in broad daylight.

The Han Dynasty ruled the law strictly prohibited the possession of crossbows. Although the Yun family used this rule as fart, it had never been used in public, so they took it out like this today. Could it be that they were going to rebel?

I heard that the marquis of the Yun family had rebelled from Chang'an, and the Yun family's retainers killed several tax collectors in Jiangnan. I guess it was not a big deal.

The leader of the tax collector is Liu Ji's guard. Today he is here to support the tax collector. Liu Ji has long been moved by the Yun family's industry in Yueyang. Now Yun Xiao loses power, which is a good time to seize the Yun family's industry. Therefore, he ordered his own guard to go out with the tax collector today.

A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of the guard's forehead. He could see through the battlefield. The murderous intent in Canglan's eyes showed. Today, Canglan really wanted to kill people.

The guards pulled out the swords from their waists, but their eyes looked at the guards. They all knew that it was a joke to avoid or block the crossbow at such a close distance. They were all very young and didn't want to die here just like that.

"Don't move if you know the truth, I'll just cause trouble for him." Canglan saw that the tax officer's forehead was covered with sweat, so he guessed a little. He pointed at the place where the tax collector was hiding and said.

Seeing that the tax soldiers did not say anything, Canglan was even more confident and shouted loudly: "Fifth, where did you die for me?"

Lao Wu, who was trapped in the fish stall, replied inside: "Oh my god, the little one is trapped in the stall by these messes."

"Bastard, who dares to touch your finger here? Come out quickly and bring the tax collector out by the way. I want him to know what will happen to insult our marquis."

"No" Xiao Wu got support from Cang Lan and arrogantly pushed open the tax soldiers blocking the door. He rushed towards the tax collector as if an eagle was catching a chicken. (To be continued...)
