Chapter 1121
Chu Kuai, who was walking first, just stopped, and glanced at the crowd. His chest was raised tall, and he was full of confidence, "Who is the village chief here?"

Hearing this sentence, Fang Shixi almost laughed.

Shi Anping was clearly standing in front of him, so he thought everyone knew him!

It turned out to be embarrassing, a small village head, a catcher of the county government, how could he take him seriously.

With an embarrassed face on his face, Shi Anping tried his best to maintain a smile, "This lord, the young one is the village head of Yaozhuang. I wonder what the lord wants me for?"

Shi Anping squeezed his throat and said awkward words in a polite manner, probably he was about to vomit himself.

The head catcher stared at him with disdainful eyes, "So you are the village chief, that's just right, since everyone in your village has come out, I'll tell you what happened here, were you attacked by wild boars last night? "

"Exactly, last night's wild boar battle was too scary. It destroyed many houses and pens, and even injured several villagers in our village. Even more crops were destroyed. The loss was too great." Shi Anping's distress is absolutely true.

The originally peaceful small village suddenly suffered bad luck, causing people to panic. As the village head, he is not the first to bear the brunt, and he will be blamed by the superiors.

The head of the county yamen’s arrest did not change his expression, “Our county lord already knew what happened last night, so he sent an official to the branch to tell you that the yamen will organize the yamen servants to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars. To pay the security maintenance tax, each household is one or two taels of silver, when the money is collected, the yamen can catch a piece of money and go up the mountain to hunt wild boars!"

He didn't change his face when he said it, but the faces of those who listened were ashen.

Why do you have to charge them money?
Aren't they the ones being besieged by wild boars?

The losers, aren't they?
They really dare to ask for one tael of silver per household. Is it true that the yamen's money is tight again recently?

Shi Anping was anxious and panicked, his whole body was shaking.

He is also poor!

The crops in the field haven't grown yet, where can he get this tael of silver?

"My... my lord, the wild boar disaster, in fact, we can solve it ourselves. Our village has strong labor force. I will organize them to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars later, so I don't need to bother you, the agricultural bureau." There must be no chaos.

Regardless of Niu Shi's pull, Niu Geng also stood up, "We are all hunters, and it is easy to catch a few wild boars, so we will not bother the officials."

He also knew in his heart that these people must be short of money for drinking, so he tried every means to get some money out of the villagers' pockets.

It's not like it hasn't happened before.

Pei Yan sneered, "It's our job as a police officer to protect the people of one side. Of course, we are the ones to hunt and kill these beasts that disturb the people. This is a task assigned by the superiors. There is no reason for you to bargain!"

The arresters standing behind him all took a step forward, their menacing posture was definitely sufficient, they just missed pulling out their knives.

In fact, it is useless to argue and reason with these officials.

They can make it difficult for you to move with just a flick of a finger. If you, a commoner, want to live a stable life, you can only learn to swallow your anger.

No, after Pei Yan yelled, all the men, including Niu Geng, died down.

A tael of silver...

Fang Shixi thought about it, she couldn't get it out now, and even if she could get it out, she would never hand it over to these people.

With the money, what else can they do besides drinking and visiting brothels?
