Chapter 272 Please Rob Me
Chapter 293 Please Rob Me
"Plop!" Li Ming fell to the ground.

In the face of death threats, he could still stand, but when he heard that someone was going to take his position, he was about to collapse.

Baozhou Mansion is just a sixth-rank official, but it was Li Minghan who had worked so hard for decades to get it.

Besides, all Li Ming could think of to seize the official position was to kill him.

Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to help Li Ming up again, and said: "Master Li, don't be afraid, my friend is not trying to take your office, he is helping you with your salary."

"Support?" Li Ming was even more frightened, and slipped out of the chair again.

"Support?" Chang Zilong was even more shocked and jumped up.

Jiang Xiaobai was a little puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You don't know that, do you?" Master Bu laughed loudly and said, "People in their era are very brain-dead. The country has no money to fight wars, so it's okay to force it to be distributed to the big households, but it's not okay for the big households to take the initiative to pay."

Jiang Xiaobai was even more surprised: "What's the reason for this? Don't give it away for nothing, but be happy if you get robbed?"

"It's not that I don't want it, but I want it with your life." Master Bu said, "If you donate to the army privately, you are suspected of buying the army. Why buy the army? Rebel. You are about to rebel, and they can still be polite to you." ?"

What kind of robber logic is this?

Jiang Xiaobai turned to Chang Zilong and asked, "Is that the case?"

Chang Zilong nodded and said, "Actually, with our Chang family's financial resources, we can support the Xiang Barracks to go to Yizhou. But my father didn't dare, so he could only give me a few hundred catties of grain every time in the name of visiting relatives. One strip of bacon, I wouldn’t dare to have more.”

It turned out to be so!

Jiang Xiaobai turned to Li Ming and asked, "Master Li, if Lord Bu pays the departure fee in advance, would you not want it?"

Li Ming was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again, and said: "My lords, don't say such rebellious words again, copy and chop all over the house!"

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless.

By kidnapping Li Ming here, Jiang Xiaobai was actually planning to tell him that he had enough financial resources to support the departure of the Xiang barracks.

As long as the Xiang barracks are deployed, the lifeline will be in their own hands. At that time, under the city of Yizhou, if they use modern weapons to frighten them, the possibility of surrender is extremely high.

Even if the entire army does not surrender, most will flee.

Just imagine a group of people who have been hungry all year round, suddenly eat rice for a few days, and they are full, and there is meat. Are they willing to go back and continue to starve?
But this kind of thinking was cut off from the root - people didn't dare to accept it at all!
"Cut!" Lord Bu sneered again, and said, "You don't dare to ask for the salary, won't you impose special taxes on me? You issue an order that the southern businessman Bu Ren came to Baozhou to do business and made huge profits , so a special tax of 3000 taels is collected for military use, isn’t that all right?”

"Special tax? I don't dare!" Li Ming didn't believe it at all. You have hijacked the court officials, so there is no reason to take the initiative to send money.

Master Bu said: "Let's levy, don't you always impose exorbitant taxes under clever pretexts?"

"Understood dare not!"

"I'm serious, 3000 taels is too little, why don't you ask for 5000 taels!"

"My lords, don't tease the lower officials!" Li Ming reached the brink of collapse, and said, "I fell into your hands today, beating or scolding, asking for ransom or other things. If you do, you must agree!"

"Do you look down on me, do you think I'm joking with you?" Master Bu pretended to be angry, got up and went into the small room next door.

After a while, Master Bu came out with a crystal ball the size of a fist.

This crystal ball is clear and transparent, and the pattern of the Big Dipper is etched on it. It is probably a prop for children to play Dragon Ball.

Lord Bu put the crystal ball on the table and said, "This old man got it from the belly of a ten-thousand-year-old clam that he killed when he was traveling in the East China Sea. No matter where he takes it, it is A treasure that is not for sale. I am happy today, let Master Zhizhou forcibly confiscate it!"

"Ten Thousand Years Pearl..." Li Ming's eyeballs were about to pop out.

He is also someone who has seen pearls, but he has never seen such a large and transparent pearl.

Intuition told him that this thing was worth at least 1 taels!

Li Ming's head was confused, and he kept tearing his hair.

What's wrong with this? It's obvious that the three robbers hijacked him, and he was mentally prepared to suffer, but they insisted on giving money and taking out such a magical treasure. What are they going to do?
"Lord Li, this is only on the surface. You take this bead, whether you go to a pawn shop to pawn money for the army to go to war, or pay tribute to the current emperor to seek promotion and rank, no one dares to say no." In the meantime, Master Bu took out another seven or eight small glass balls, put them on the table, and said, "These are for you, they are not included in the account, you can use them to play with."

"You... who the hell are you? What exactly are you going to do?"

"Lord Li, we are friends of Lord Duyuhou." Jiang Xiaobai said: "We really can't bear to let Lord Duyu lead a group of hungry and stumbling soldiers to fight, just want to do our best for the court. "

"But this..." Li Ming still didn't believe it.

"Listen, people inside, quickly let Master Li out, or you will be shot!" Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

In fact, Jiang Xiaobai had heard it a long time ago. Just a few minutes ago, at least a hundred people crept up.

Li Ming became more nervous, and at the same time gained a bit of confidence, he said: "Everyone, you have been surrounded, and there is no way to escape! I am thinking of you...you..."

Li Ming wanted to say a few open words, even threats instead of temptations, but he suddenly thought of his current status as a prisoner, but he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "We are upstairs, so we don't need to be surrounded, we just need to block the exit."

Li Ming said: "The ones who came may be General Li's men. His subordinates are all elite soldiers. Mr. Bao, although you are brave, you are no match for four hands with two fists!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but stuff the crystal ball and a few glass beads into Li Ming's pocket, pulled him up and said, "What needs to be said has already been said, and what needs to be given has already been given. I really want to support Master Li to make contributions. As for how to choose, Master Li can figure it out!"

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai opened the door and pushed Li Ming forward.

"This..." Li Ming was completely confused.

"Don't you understand?" Master Bu smiled and said, "Go down and explain to them, and then come up, let's have a drink!"

"Let me go?" Li Ming's body was shaking.

"Go, go!" Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "If you come back, we will be friends! If you don't come back, we will meet each other!"

"You...me!" Li Ming retreated step by step, and then rolled down the stairs.

"Master Bao, do you want to fight?" Behind him, Lord Bu was already holding a pistol, and said excitedly: "Oh, open my eyes, I have encountered something that is not illegal to kill someone!"
