My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

As expected, Emperor Jingming and his two companions fell down.

But fortunately, it was just a minor skin scrape and nothing serious happened.

With only one tiger left, three men, a donkey and a black group joined forces to defeat the big donkey's powerful hoof again.

Harvest its life.

The wild boar was also hit on the head by a big stone that Emperor Jingming asked Cui Luoshan to bring, and was killed.

The night fell and the moon shone in the sky. In the cool mountain breeze, Ye Shengxin looked at the ground full of harvest, clapped his hands and patted his waist.

"That's great. With these things, you won't have to carry manure for others after you sell the ducklings."

Emperor Jingming used herbs to treat his broken ankle and was happy. "I will take a day off tomorrow and go to the town with you to sell things."

"it is good."

"Big Duck, Little Duck, I'm back."

Cui Luoshan brought his father and several villagers to the mountain with carts pulled by donkeys of different sizes.

After looking at the two big tigers in amazement for a while, the villagers began to praise the brave donkey.

They had never seen such a brave donkey that could kill a tiger, and they were really envious of it.

After a lively moment, the villagers accompanied Ye Shengxin to collect the prey they had harvested, loaded them onto a cart, and went back to the village.

The next morning, Emperor Jingming got up early and made a hasty breakfast for Ye Shengxin with the little remaining rice and wild vegetables.

The two men had just finished eating and were loading the prey into the car when they heard footsteps outside the door, followed by violent knocks on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door, open the door quickly, whoever is inside."

The voice of the person knocking on the door outside was so urgent and loud that Ye Shengxin and Emperor Jingming's hearts skipped a beat.

Could it be that their previous identities attracted enemies?

In this uneasy mood, before Ye Shengxin reached the door, the courtyard door was kicked open and two wooden boards fell to the ground with a bang.

Half the yard was covered with dust.

Ye Shengxin covered his nose and looked at the arrogant man at the gate of the courtyard. He was wearing the uniform of a yamen runner, and behind him were the uneasy village chief and Cui Luoshan and his son.

When the two saw Ye Shengxin, they looked worried.

Village Chief Cui, who was standing at the back, was afraid that Ye Xingxin and Emperor Jingming would offend the yamen runners without knowing it and be punished with a stick, so he quickly squeezed over and spoke before the leading yamen runner could speak:

"Big Duck, Little Duck, these are the town's tax collectors. The leader is the kindhearted Huang. He came here today to collect taxes from you two."

Village Chief Cui had experience in dealing with yamen runners, so even though the leader had a fierce look in his eyes and looked like a bad guy, he still tried to sweet-talk him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the leading yamen runner Huang's face immediately looked better.

He passed over the young boy Ye Shengxin and looked at the calm and composed Emperor Jingming.

His eyes suddenly focused.

Thinking of his uncle, the mayor, he immediately came up with an idea, but he didn't show it on his face and shouted loudly:

"I heard you hunted a lot of game in the mountains last night," he said, looking at the donkey-drawn cart next to him. "Since you have valuables, you should pay taxes. Head tax and hunting tax."

"There is also military service. One of you two men has to serve."

Neither Ye Shengxin nor Emperor Jingming had household registration, so paying taxes was a sore spot for them.

Even the unreasonable hunting taxes.

Emperor Jingming learned about the local customs from the village chief. The yamen runners came at this time and said this simply because they smelled the money and wanted to peel off a layer of skin from them.

He and Ye Shengxin had no power or influence and were unaware of the past. They could not make a fuss about this matter openly and could only endure it.

He exchanged a glance with Ye Shengxin, and finally his gaze fell on Hao Duanzhuang, who had some ability.

Suppressing the idea in his heart, he poured a bowl of warm water for the yamen runner Huang and nodded: "Huang is right, Dayu and I should pay taxes."

"Once we sell these prey in town, we will definitely pay the tax."

"It's our fault that Officer Huang came all the way here. I'll give you a generous gift as compensation later. Please accept it."

He smiled and looked at the brothers around Huang Yayi, "We will not forget the brothers around the police, so please don't refuse."

Emperor Jingming had a good attitude, neither humble nor arrogant, and the usual arrogance on Huang's face gradually disappeared.

Satisfied, he stood up and walked to the tiger's body. The big tiger touched it and laughed with a mouthful of yellow teeth:

"Since you have a good attitude, I will show you a way. Mr. Huang in this town is a well-known kind man. If you sell your prey to him, you will definitely get a good price."

Huang Yayi gave some advice.

Emperor Jingming naturally accepted the offer: "Thank you very much, we will pull the cart over right away."

"Together." He invited maliciously.

"Together." Emperor Jingming nodded.

-

On the way, Ye Xingxin grabbed the bronze mirror in her sleeve. While the yamen runners in front of her were not paying attention, she asked Cui Luoshan to block her. She quietly asked Hao Duanzhuang:

"You can't change silver, but can you steal it?"

"These people have bad intentions. They are corrupt officials who come up with all kinds of excuses. We would rather throw our money to a dog than give it to them."

"If you can, I'll leave the stealing of the silver to you."

Hao Duanzhuang looked at the servants who dared to embarrass Emperor Jingming as if they were dead, and said calmly: "Okay."

Ye Xingxin was relieved, [That's good. ]

"Run faster!"

In front, the big donkey was pulling the cart slowly because it was injured yesterday. Huang, the yamen runner who was anxious to go back and claim credit, couldn't stand it, so he took the whip from Emperor Jingming's hand and whipped the donkey on its butt.

With a "pop" sound, the big donkey howled in pain, and the little donkey behind it also howled.

When Emperor Jingming and Ye Shengxin saw this, their faces instantly turned grim.

If they had been able to endure it rationally before in order to prevent their identities from being exposed, they were now furious when they saw their life-saving donkey being injured and beaten.

Ye Xingxin cursed in his heart: [This is not a human thing, why didn’t a beast come and teach this guy a lesson. ]

[Damn it, even if my legs were broken, I still can’t calm the hatred in my heart. ]

Emperor Jingming glanced back at Ye Shengxin, who had a gloomy face. Ye Shengxin's expression changed in an instant and he smiled innocently.

What's the matter? Why are you looking at me?

Emperor Jingming turned around, his heart beating faster.

Is this Huang Yayi's retribution coming?

When? Can it be faster?

Emperor Jingming looked around and waited anxiously for a quarter of an hour, but did not see any strong beast show up.

I couldn't help but was about to turn around and look at Ye Shengxin again.

Huang Yayi suddenly shouted, "Stop the car."

As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his stomach and ran towards the forest beside the mountain path.

Everyone was waiting for him there.

Cui Luoshan looked at the forest and thought about what Huang Yayi had done to Qingshan Village over the years. In the end, he did not say anything to stop him.

I hope he has good luck.

"Luoshan, what are you thinking about?"

Cui Luoshan was an honest young man who did not hide his expression. Ye Shengxin saw it clearly, so he lowered his voice and asked curiously.

Cui Luoshan also lowered his voice and replied softly:

"There are many troublesome yellow-haired monkeys living in this forest. They have sharp noses and monkey cheeks. They are not easy to deal with and are very hostile to humans."

"I don't know where the yellow yamen runner went in... but as long as he doesn't go too deep, he shouldn't run into them."

Ye Shengxin's eyes lit up as he looked at the mountains and forests.

[How can I not meet him? Judging from the looks of Huang Yayi, his luck is not very good. I think I will definitely meet him.]

[However, it would be great if these monkeys were more powerful than those monkeys in Mount Emei. They would be the perfect monkeys in my mind.]

[How come there are no gorillas? Oh, what a pity. ]

The corner of Emperor Jingming's mouth in front of him slightly raised, and he was in a particularly happy mood.

He thought silently.

It turns out that when Ye Shengxin was not harming him, he was such a wonderful person.

It's really wonderful.
