However, in this era, there are probably no more powerful magicians than Merlin Morgan and his ilk.
If what Mushroom said is true, today's Britain is the last remnant of mythology. The Age of Gods in other regions has disappeared, and only Britain is still holding on.
So Merlin is probably similar to the Nanhua Immortal in the Three Kingdoms?
Leah thought about it and thought that the strongest people on Earth at this time were probably the British.
If we compare the people of Britain with the current China, Leah may belong to the world of Fengyun, while China is in the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.
Or maybe it's the difference between The Twin Dragons of Tang Dynasty and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. In short, it's just on a higher level.
However, getting back to the point, Liya asked directly: "Is that why the government doesn't dare to intervene in their affairs?"
"Of course not. Even though they are a well-known gang here, they are just a larger grasshopper facing the imperial army. What really makes them unscrupulous is that their gang leader is related to the Prince of Leping in Liangzhou, so they can blatantly collect protection fees."
At this point, the shopkeeper sighed.
"Do they collect a lot?" Leah asked again.
"One tael of silver a month, and for someone like me, two taels. To be honest, my little shop makes about ten taels of silver a month when business is good. They take two taels, and I have to pay one tael of tax to the court. Add in the cost, and I have to make another four taels. So at most, I have three taels left."
"Sometimes I have to spend money to build relationships...my family also has expenses...if business is bad, I will lose money. This world...is too difficult." The shopkeeper seemed to have found an opportunity to vent his grievances, and he revealed a series of dark things here.
Liya found that these guys were really evil, and they took more than the government. No wonder the mafia in modern times has to be swept away by the country!
If the Black Tiger Gang had no connection with the King of Leping, they probably wouldn't dare to act so blatantly.
During the conversation with the shopkeeper, Leah came to understand the current situation of farmers. It was so difficult to do business, let alone farming.
But if the peasants' lives were not difficult, how could she raise the banner of justice?
Of course, this uprising is not something that can be started casually. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If Leah does not mobilize tens of thousands of people at once, she will still be suppressed.
But now is a good opportunity, because the Northern Wei and Liu Song had just fought a battle, and both countries are severely damaged and do not have many troops.
This is her best chance.
Just as Leah and the other two were enjoying the food and wine, Leah suddenly noticed some movement in the corner. She looked closely and found that it was actually a person.
"Is there a person there?" Leah pointed to a corner downstairs, which seemed to be where the store kept stale water.
"Miss, you have a good eye. That is indeed a person." Seeing where Leah pointed, the shopkeeper took a look and then looked away.
"What's going on with that person? A beggar?" Leah was a little puzzled. Even if he was a beggar, it was a little too strange because the person on the ground was dirty and was crawling like a worm.
He was wearing tattered clothes and had a dirty, dark face, as if he was looking for something. His hands were groping for something on the ground, but he could not make any sound.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "That man is not a beggar, but... Hey, this incident happened a few months ago. This man is called Lin Beizhong. He is a well-known businessman here. He has been doing business with merchants from other places and has a little money."
"But who would have thought that one day when his wife and daughter were out on the street, they were seen by the leader of the Black Tiger Gang. He became lustful upon seeing them and forcibly took the mother and daughter back, hoping to make them submit."
"Under coercion, the two actually bit their tongues and committed suicide. The leader of the Black Tiger Gang was furious and even sent people to capture him. In front of him, he ordered a group of people to desecrate the bodies of his wife and daughter... Afterwards, the people who collected the bodies couldn't bear to look at them even once."
So this man went to the county magistrate and asked him to severely punish the Black Tiger Gang.
As a result, the county magistrate not only did not punish the Black Tiger Gang, but also sent people to break his hands and feet, and his property was confiscated by the county magistrate's people. Afterwards, the Black Tiger Gang said that no one was allowed to pity him, otherwise if they saw him, they would beat him up at the least, and at the worst...
Having said that, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything more.
Hearing this, Leah was so angry that she almost trembled all over. She wished she could kill the Black Tiger Gang and the county magistrate on the spot. However, after thinking for a while, Leah decided not to do so.
"Why, do you still want to help the man down there?" Merlin asked.
"Merlin, can you heal him?" Leah asked.
Chapter 10: Leah Begins Action
Although this person is already very pitiful, Leah still wants to make use of him because it is very important to her future plans.
"That's no problem, but what are you going to do after saving him?" Merlin asked curiously.
Ever since arriving here, Merlin found that he could not guess what Leah was going to do.
Even his clairvoyance, which he was so proud of, didn't know why there was such a big deviation.
Obviously, at this moment, Leah should have embarked on the journey to extract the sword from the stone, but now the two of them are in a big country in the East 10,000 kilometers away. It's really weird!
Leah did not go to rescue the man immediately. Instead, after finishing the meal, she took Merlin and Alice to walk towards the man.
Even when three people came in front of the man, he didn't care. It seemed that he had already gotten used to it. He just stretched his head and looked for edible food in the rotten water.
"Hey, do you want revenge?" Looking at the man's appearance, Leah asked directly.
The man paused for a moment and continued to look for food in the rotten water.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Liya continued: "Whether it is the life of the county governor here or the members of the Black Tiger Gang, I can help you deal with them."
Only then did the man stop. He looked at Liya with a pair of hateful eyes and said slowly: "You have found the wrong person. With my appearance, I can't help you or give you anything."
If someone is too nice to you, he is either a traitor or a thief. But even if a man wants to help, he is already a useless person, worse than a beggar.
"It's okay, I can heal you. My request is very simple. I need your life and loyalty to me, and I will give you the opportunity to kill those enemies with your own hands." Leah said lightly.
"Okay!" The man said without any hesitation.
"Merlin, I'll leave him to you. Clean him up and bring him to me." Leah said to Merlin.
"Hi hi hi." Merlin said helplessly.
This little girl is not a king yet, but she is quite good at ordering people around.
"Also, my name is Long Liya." Liya said after thinking for a while. The surname Long is naturally translated from Pendragon, after all, Pendragon is the translation of dragon.
There is no need to change Meilin's name, as there are people with the surname Mei in China.
Seeing Merlin's helpless look, Leah smiled. However, there was a deep sense of tyranny in Leah's smile. For the sake of those oppressed people, both the Black Tiger Gang and the county governor must die no matter what.
Despite this, Leah still planned to ask other people in the city to avoid any misunderstandings later.
In the following time, Leah asked other people in the city for a while, and the result was that the officials in Wu'an County did not do any good things, and they often joined forces with the Black Tiger Gang to oppress the people.
And the leader of the Black Tiger Gang is a Hu person.
After getting this result, Leah felt relieved.
We should restore our Chinese clothing and rebuild the backbone of Yanhuang
These two groups of people, one is a foreigner and the other is a traitor, have joined forces to oppress the good and occupy the people's land, which is enough to prove that they are not good people!
Leah thought about it for a while and then came to her senses.
During the past few days, she first investigated the soldiers and other families in the city, and when she felt that it was almost ready, she was ready to take action.
The Northern Wei Dynasty had the wise and powerful Emperor Tuoba Tao in power, so the weather was naturally good and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. As the county governor, Mr. Wang just had another day to lie down.
He was leaning comfortably on a bamboo bench, with two good-looking maids serving him. One of the maids was peeling an orange and putting the oranges into County Magistrate Wang's mouth one by one.
Another maid was rocking the bamboo chair under County Magistrate Wang, who was humming and looking very comfortable.
"Oh, our parent official, County Magistrate Wang, lives a very comfortable life. Even the emperor would have a similar life, right?" Just as County Magistrate Wang was enjoying himself comfortably, he suddenly heard a strange voice in his ears.
Faced with this strange voice, County Magistrate Wang immediately opened his eyes. He quickly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl dressed like a gangster coming in.
The girl's beautiful and delicate appearance instantly attracted the eyes of County Magistrate Wang, and he couldn't help but let out a sly smile: "Beauty, I wonder where you came from."
Liya looked at the old man with disgust, and immediately pulled out the sword from the stone. With a whoosh, she placed the silver-glowing sword directly on the neck of County Magistrate Wang, and said coldly, "Stand up."
When the two maids saw this scene, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back, lowered their heads and dared not speak.
"Who are you? Do you know that anyone who kills an official appointed by the imperial court without authorization will be beheaded?" Seeing that Leah put the sword on his neck without saying a word, County Magistrate Wang was stunned at first, and then threatened.
You still dare to threaten me?
"It's just killing a corrupt official. If I kill you, I'll just leave. Do you think the imperial soldiers can recognize me?" Leah raised the corner of her mouth.
In the eyes of County Magistrate Wang, the girl in front of him must have listened to those unruly people and came to kill him. There are many chivalrous men who kill corrupt officials for the people, no matter in the past or now. He doesn't want to be killed by Leah like this, so he must find a way to save himself.
So County Magistrate Wang immediately admitted his mistake: "I wonder where did you hear that I am a corrupt official? I have always been a clean official and have never made things difficult for any of the people. Please don't listen to the one-sided words of those unruly people!"
"Whether it is just one-sided or not, I know it in my heart. If the county magistrate still wants to live, you should obediently hand over all the money you have embezzled and accepted as bribes, as well as the land deeds and the like. Otherwise, my sword will not have eyes~"
As she spoke, Leah used a little strength, and County Magistrate Wang felt a chill on his neck, followed by a sharp pain, and a hint of cherry red appeared.
County Magistrate Wang shouted quickly, "No, no, no!!! Hero, heroine, spare my life! You just want money, right? I'll take you to my little treasury right now."
If they just want money, it would be fine. Although you will lose a lot of gold and silver in a while, as long as you can stay alive, it's fine.
And judging from the girl's appearance, she wouldn't be able to get much money from him. When he got out of trouble, he would immediately order his men to capture the girl and "interrogate" her severely!
I can only say that he is worthy of being a good official of the people. Even when he is about to die, he still has lust on his mind.
Liya held County Magistrate Wang hostage and walked out, asking County Magistrate Wang to show the way.
After walking out of the door, a group of thugs who were guarding the house immediately noticed this situation. They wanted to rush over, but Leah spoke.
"Put down your weapons, otherwise I can't guarantee that your master will survive." As she said that, Leah cut the arm of County Magistrate Wang with a sword, and blood flowed like water.
Chapter 11: The Heroine Takes Whatever You Want
Wang Junshou also screamed in pain. He no longer had time to imagine what would happen after he caught Leah. He said anxiously, "Put down your weapons, put them down."
Upon hearing this, the group of guards could only put their knives on the ground and watch Leah take County Magistrate Wang away.
"Boss, what should we do?" The guards immediately turned their eyes to one of the guards.
The guards called the head frowned, and then one guard said to another, "Go and call the group of people from the Black Tiger Gang. We may need their help in this matter."
"I understand." The security guard nodded and went to get help.
Liya took Wang Junshou hostage all the way to his small vault. After seeing the lock of the vault, Liya cut off the lock with a sword and pushed it open.
There was a small mountain of gold, silver, treasures, and various jewels inside. When she walked inside, Leah also found several piles of land deeds.
"Haha, County Magistrate Wang is really a good official for the people. If I remember correctly, the court should only give the county magistrate a few hundred taels of salary a year, right? This much gold and silver is at least hundreds of thousands of taels, plus those jewels, it's hundreds of thousands of silver taels in total, and there are also those antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Tsk tsk tsk... I wonder if the county magistrate is
How did you get it?"
Liya looked at these people's money and said with a mocking tone.
One tael is 1 yuan, and hundreds of thousands of taels are tens of millions. A normal official can never reach such a high level.
"Haha, these are all gifts from others. Money is just something outside of our body. Lady, you can take as much as you want. Don't be polite to me!" County Magistrate Wang just smiled awkwardly.
"This is what the county magistrate said, so I won't be polite. Merlin, it's time for you to take action!" Leah shouted to the outside.
"Coming, coming~" Hearing Leah's call, Merlin immediately walked in with a smile.
"Are there others?" County Magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, there was only one man, and even if there were two people, they could not take too much. A thousand taels would be the most they could take.
There were no silver notes in this era. All the money was real gold and silver. If a person didn't use a wooden box to carry it, he wouldn't be able to get much money.
Merlin walked in and took a look at the vault, his mouth opened in surprise. He had never seen so much money before.
"Please help me collect the silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Keep the deeds separately. I will need them later." Leah glanced at Merlin who came in and said
"I see." Merlin nodded.
He just waved his hand at the silver and jewels, and they disappeared in front of County Magistrate Wang, who was dumbfounded.
"What did you do? Where's my money? What kind of magic did you use?" After coming to his senses, County Magistrate Wang suddenly became uneasy!
"Didn't County Magistrate Wang say that all of it would be given to me? Take as much as you can. Doesn't County Magistrate Wang keep his word?" Leah's tone suddenly turned cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
"No, no, haha, since you have taken all my money, can you let me go? I have nothing now!" Sensing Liya's murderous intention, County Magistrate Wang said with a sad face.
"Let you go? Don't be impatient, you still have a lot of use. I will let you go after you finish those things." Leah raised the corner of her mouth.
Wang Junshou wanted to curse in his heart. He had never thought that this little girl was so vicious. She had taken all his money and still wouldn't let him go!
Wang Junshou could only continue to ask: "I wonder what the lady wants me to do?"
"Don't talk, follow me out and we'll talk." Leah put down the sword in her hand, grabbed County Magistrate Wang's sleeve, and walked out of the gate.
Just as Leah grabbed Governor Wang and arrived at the gate, a palm wind came from the darkness and hit Leah's forehead without saying a word. Judging from the internal force transmitted from the palm wind, it was going to kill Leah with one palm.
Liya immediately responded with a palm strike, and with a palm seal, the person who attacked Liya flew backwards with a "bang", broke a tree behind him, and fell into the river with a "plop".
"Master!"
Seeing the hall leader who attacked the girl fall into the water without any reaction, the members of the Black Tiger Gang immediately ran to the river, where they saw their hall leader spitting blood from his mouth and nose, but he did not react and instead gradually sank to the bottom of the water.
"It seems that your Black Tiger Gang is not that good." Leah glanced at the group of people from the Black Tiger Gang. There were a dozen of them in total. They should be here to rescue County Magistrate Wang.
"Damn it, you actually killed the hall master!" A member of the Black Tiger Gang looked at Leah angrily and rushed towards her.
