The host of fast travel always wants to stand up and become the king

Chapter 186 General Xiao always wants to marry me (21)

The old man cried and shouted: "Our harvest is so small, and you have raised ten floors, we can't afford it at all."

A middle-aged woman ran up, crying and shouting: "You are so unreasonable, do you still let us people live? Raise ten levels of taxes, but still rob us of food every now and then, we can't live anymore , how can there be money to pay taxes?"

The whole village was alarmed and protested.

However, the effect was not good. The officers and soldiers said with a cold face: "Go to their homes and collect all the food."

The officers and soldiers kicked away every household, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and turned the already poor homes into a mess.

The villagers could only watch helplessly, and several of them hugged together and cried together.

The old man couldn't bear it anymore, he spread his hands and shouted miserably: "Chu Heng has nothing to gain, oppresses the common people, increases taxes, makes the king stupid!! God has no eyes..."

呲!
A spear pierced the old man's chest and died on the spot.

The officers and soldiers said: "Call Your Majesty by his name, punish him!"

Xiao Chen's face darkened and he was about to dismount, but was caught by Jiao Li. She said, "This is the current situation of the people today. Even if you can save them for a while, you can't save them forever."

Xiao Chen pursed his lips, unable to believe that the common people were living in such misery.

He knew that His Majesty had increased taxes, but he did not expect that local officials were so unreasonable.

But if it wasn't for the imperial court giving them the right to bully the common people, how dare they?

Jiaoli took the reins, turned around and left on horseback, not wanting Xiao Chen to continue watching.

On the hillside, Jiaoli let the horse graze, but she and Xiao Chen sat on the grass, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance.

Xiao Chen muttered to himself: "How could this happen?"

Jiaoli looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and smiled lightly: "Chu Heng is a faint emperor, I think you should feel that such an emperor will defeat Li Kingdom one day."

Xiao Chen remained silent.

Jiaoli said again: "Actually, with General Xiao's ability, it is not difficult to protect the country of Li, but Chu Heng is too cowardly. He only cares about his own throne and doesn't care about winning or losing at all. He really may not be General Xiao’s opponent.”

Xiao Chen's hands beside him gradually clenched into fists.

Looking into the distance, every inch of land in the Li country was conquered by Shangguanluo who helped him, but now because of His Majesty's arbitrariness, a lot of land has been allocated to the barbarian country.

And almost half of the people who were deported to the barbarian country have died.

Jiaoli strikes while the iron is hot: "Xiao Chen, I know that you are loyal to Li Kingdom, but the emperor is stupid, the court is corrupt, and the people are suffering. Do you really want to support such a stupid king who doesn't care about the people?"

"As you saw just now, today's officials are corrupt and pervert the law, burning, killing and looting, all of which are acquiesced by Chu Heng."

Xiao Chen's face became more and more ugly, and his voice became sharper: "But even so, it's impossible for you to become emperor, and I won't help you."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chen turned around and turned his back to Jiao Li: "It's better not to take risks, it's best to leave as soon as possible."

He picked up the bundle containing Berners' head and strode away.

Jiaoli gritted her teeth: "Xiao Chen, come back to me!"

She let Xiao Chen see all this, and tried hard to persuade him, not to make him leave her.

As soon as Xiao Chen walked away, a group of bandits appeared and surrounded Jiaoli.

The tall, bearded man in the lead dragged his chin with the palm of his hand: "Hey, the little girl looks good, do you want to consider going back with the master and becoming Mrs. Yazhai?"

Jiao Li looked coldly, but then she said, "Okay."
