Chapter 15 Conquest


Chapter 15 Zheng Ding

Something happened ahead.

When Zheng Fan and Feng Siniang went to the front hall, they saw two soldiers standing at the door of the front hall. These soldiers were all wearing black leather armor.

Dayan is still black, and the main color of military uniforms is black. However, these two soldiers only wear leather armor, which proves that they are not the elite of the Yan Kingdom's forbidden army or field elites, but just the local defenders of Hutou City. military.

Under the stage in the front hall, a middle-aged man dressed as a clerk and a middle-aged captain in armor were standing together. The clerk was holding a booklet in his hand and the captain had a look on his face. Unruly.

"The one on the left is the local director of Hutou City. His surname is Chen. He often comes to our place to eat. I don't know the one on the right. I have never seen him." Feng Siniang introduced to Zheng Fan in a low voice. Then, she took a step forward and took the initiative. He walked up to us and said, "Hey, what's the wind that's blowing our minds?" Master Chen is here, why don’t you say hello earlier so that the girls can dress up?”

When Master Chen saw Feng Siniang, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Evil desire, laughed and cursed:

" Okay, your girl here, my body and bones can't bear it. Her skin is so rough that even the Qiu Ba in the barracks outside the city are moister than you.

But you, Si Niang, I heard that I was the one yesterday. Did you pick up the guest?"

"Hey Oh, my Lord Registrar, I, a big family, have so many mouths to talk to, but I can only live on this little business. Now everything is starting to become expensive, and there is nothing I can do. I can’t look at this big family. The rice vat is out of rice.”

Master Chen reached out to grab Feng Siniang's hand, but Feng Siniang calmly dodged it.

At this time, the captain next to him frowned with some dissatisfaction, as if he was a little dissatisfied that Chief Chen next to him had just called himself Qiu Ba.

But he didn't have any trouble because of this. Although Yan founded the country with military force, it also enjoyed peace for a long time. Although the culture of emphasizing culture and restraining military force was not as strong as that of those big countries, it had already gained some momentum.

However, when he saw that the chief clerk next to him was only talking and laughing with the old madam and delayed the business, the captain still snorted with some dissatisfaction.

But, let me tell you, this old bustard is indeed very tasty.

When Master Chen heard the snort, his expression immediately changed, he looked at the captain next to him with a flattering look, and said:

"Captain Xue, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
< br>Immediately afterwards, Master Chen turned over his hands After reading the book in the book, she said to Feng Siniang:

"Siniang, the court collects labor, and there are four Dings in your family's book."

"Oh my God, this year's labor, Haven't you already conquered it?" Feng Siniang covered her mouth and exclaimed.

For ordinary people in the Yan Kingdom, paying taxes and labor is an unavoidable hurdle, and it is also an obligation that every citizen should fulfill every year. However, the rule is that the dead are alive. If you have money, You can use money to redeem your own labor.

The business of the inn is pretty good. The labor service for the first half of the year has been collected and paid, and Siniang used the money to redeem it.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Something's happened again." Chief Chen said with some embarrassment.

"How can this be possible? How can we let ordinary people like us live? Oh my god."

"How dare you, the army is about to go out, as a citizen of the Yan Kingdom , It is your duty to deliver food to the front army. If you, a woman, dare to push back, be careful that the general’s sword will not recognize anyone!”

Colonel Xue made a move to draw his sword, but Feng Siniang cooperated and backed away in fear, covering her mouth and not daring to scream anymore.

Master Chen shrugged. He is a local official from Hutou City. Several generations of his family have been working as officials in Hutou City. Sometimes, he really can’t let go when doing things. Fortunately, he has this Qiu Ba acts as a villain by the side.

"Siniang, according to what is recorded in the household register, your family has Siding, Zheng Aming, Zheng Cheng, Zheng Li and Zheng Fan."

Xue Xiaowei and other Chen masters After the book finished speaking, he stepped on the chair and shouted:

"Hurry up and call the person out!"

"This...this..." Feng Siniang showed hesitation in her eyes. She turned her head and glanced at Zheng Fan first, then leaned forward and said: "Two adults, it's not that I don't want to serve the country, but in fact , I really can’t have four children in my family now.”

Before the captain could get angry,

Feng Siniang immediately continued:< br>
“My Ali, he went to do business with the caravan a while ago. I don’t know where he is now or when he will come back;

My A Ming is sick right now. , I would like him to go, but if he goes, it would be a huge sin to infect his tuberculosis to the military camp. "

"Don't you want to lie to me?" Master Chen didn't believe it.

“Hey!” Feng Siniang clapped her hands helplessly, “You can go and ask if my Ali went out the day before yesterday. You also know that the silly big guy eats a lot and has a caravan. If he wanted him, he would be given a meal and a reward, so naturally I would kick him out;
< br>As for A Ming, he is still lying in the backyard, and the coffin is ready."

Master Chen waved over to one of his subordinates and asked him to inquire about it, and then, He even went to the backyard with Colonel Xue to check on A Ming's condition.

When A Ming is fine, he has a pale "dead" face on weekdays. Now that he is injured, he looks... tsk tsk;

Captain Xue was a little dissatisfied and said: "Forget it about the one who is sick and about to die. The one who went out to run a business is considered a fugitive!"

Master Chen, as a regular customer of this store, But he said a few good words for the inn, "General Xue, you can't say that. This year's labor was completed in the first half of the year."

Xue Lieutenant licked his lips, feeling that he was still feeling unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. This time the troops were sent out in a hurry, and many places were not prepared, so he could only yell:

"Where are the other two Dings?"

"Here they are." Feng Siniang pointed at Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng who were standing here.

"Hmm..."

Xue Lieutenant seemed to be very interested in Liang Cheng's physique. Although Liang Cheng was not tall, he had an extremely capable temperament.

When he looked at Zheng Fan again, he frowned subconsciously. Zheng Fan had only woken up a few days ago. Although his complexion had recovered a lot, his body was still a little thin.

However, according to the roster, these two people should be relatives and brothers, and the conditions of this family seem to be good, so I asked:

"Maybe you can bring your own armor?"

"Yes, yes, we will also prepare our own dry food." Feng Siniang replied immediately.

Xue Lieutenant nodded, pointed at Liang Cheng and Zheng Fan and said: "Prepare your own armor and order it at the military camp outside the city before noon tomorrow."

"Did you hear that? Don't delay." Master Chen added.

“I heard it, I heard it.” Feng Siniang immediately responded, “Hey, you two adults are leaving now, please stay for a meal.”

“No, We still need to continue to count the civil servants." Master Chen refused and left the inn with Captain Xue.

…………

In the small hall, everyone sat in a circle.

Even A Ming climbed out of his coffin and sat next to him with a pale face.

Blind Bei pursed his lips and said:

"Now, there are only two ways before us. One is to pack up our things and leave Hutou City tonight. Find another place to stay;

The other one can only be..."

"I think it would be a pity to just go and give up here. "Zheng Fan said.

Obviously, the inn is a business that we have been running for half a year, and it is also our first home in this world. It is really not cost-effective to abandon it like this. At the same time, In order to obtain the status of a legal citizen of Yan State, I must have paid a lot of price. If we take over, everyone will become a gangster together.

At the same time, Hutou City is also the first point of the next target plan, so it is a shame to give up so easily.

In fact, there is another way, which is to rebel now, but this is not realistic yet.

Blind Bei heard the words, nodded and said: "My lord, it is better to be far-sighted."

Actually, he had already made a choice, but there were some words that were only appropriate for Zheng Fan himself to say. As a subordinate, Of course, he could only put the Lord's safety first, no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to say so.

This is the political correctness of being a subordinate.

"Liang Cheng, my lord's safety depends on you."

Liang Cheng, who was sitting next to Zheng Fan, nodded, with a fleeting evil spirit in his eyes.

Blind Bei said again: "San'er, you will come with us tomorrow. We will bring our own dry food. Even if he is a dwarf, can we help him?"

Xue San didn't know the word "dwarf" at all. Why is he so sensitive? He nodded directly and said:

"Yes."

Blind Bei is aware of the situation of Liang Cheng and Xue San. With these two people by the Lord's side, they are just working as civilians in the rear to transport food and grass. If so, the problem shouldn't be big.

Actually, there are also Blind Bei and Xue San on the inn’s household registration. One is named Zheng Bei and the other is Zheng San. However, one is blind and the other is a dwarf, so they are not included in the labor service collection.

Feng Siniang hesitated and said: "How about I go up with the Lord? I will be waiting beside you, Lord..."

"Are you going to be a military prostitute?"

“………” Feng Siniang.

The blind man Beizheng faced Zheng Fan and stood up slowly. Although his eyes were empty, Zheng Fan had the feeling that he was "watching" him.

“We are, after all, just subordinates of the Lord. We will crowd around the Lord, overcome thorns and thorns for the Lord, and remove all obstacles on the road in the future. This is our responsibility and our mission!


But the Lord is the King who sits on the throne. He must sit higher than us and see farther than us!

I think, given the Lord’s character, he definitely doesn’t want us to treat him like Liu Chan. "

Zheng Fan nodded, thinking about his mentality of not even leaving the inn these days, a smile appeared on his face, and said:

"I used to watch costume movies, and I always... I feel that the war scenes in it are too fake, either because of insufficient funds, or because the supporting characters are too casual. This time I can go and see it with my own eyes,

Haha,

To be honest,

I'm quite looking forward to it. "

At this time, A Ming, who was pale, interjected:

"My lord, you are working as peasants, so you probably can only see carts and fodder..."

"..." Zheng Fan (End of this chapter)
