After receiving this compensation, Chu Zhatian organized everyone, including the head of the Taixu Sect stationed here and all the disciples, to have a good meal at noon.

Although he was worried about Yueyue's situation, after Chu Zhatian's death, he couldn't live in sorrow all day long.

When it's time to relax, you have to relax.

Otherwise, I would worry about my daughter all day long, and Yueyue would also be affected by my emotions.

Look, after lunch, Yueyue’s little hands and face were all greasy, and she looked extremely happy.

The overall condition of the person seems to be much better than before.

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, the Taixu Sect's residence in Qingliu City welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

I saw that it was a group of people dressed in the standard uniform of the Da Cang Dynasty.

The leader was a deputy clerk in charge of the county government’s finances!

Without waiting for the disciples guarding outside the residence to report, this group of official personnel rushed in directly.

As the Taixu Sect's leader, Chu Zhatian was naturally the highest-ranking person here. Upon seeing this, he went up to greet him.

Seeing this group of people appear, Chu Zhaitian’s brows suddenly frowned.

Deep down, he had no good feelings towards the Da Cang Dynasty.

The current dynasty has begun to decay, and there is unrest everywhere. While the people are living in misery, the dynasty has also become darker and more severe.

In order to suppress the "rebellious" forces in various places and stabilize those powerful cultivation sects, the Da Cang Dynasty needs a lot of financial, material and human resources.

Therefore, not only did various exorbitant taxes emerge one after another, but extortion was also common.

The laws against ordinary people and even weak practitioners are becoming more cruel and harsh!

Speaking of this, we have to mention Chu Zhatian's life experience.

Originally, he grew up in a medium-sized village in Qingliu County.

Later, just because the son of a family evaded military service, a group of yamen runners affiliated with the county government massacred the entire village.

Chu Zhatian, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, was lucky enough to escape with his life and later ended up in the Taixu Sect.

Although the elders and folks in the village have no blood relationship with him.

But as an orphan since childhood, he grew up eating food from many families.

In terms of blood relationship, those simple villagers are not his relatives.

But based on affection and the grace of raising him, they are all his relatives.

Therefore, Chu Zhatian's heart was filled with disgust, resistance and hatred towards the Da Cang Dynasty!

In the later period of his previous life, as he had acquired a certain amount of strength, Chu Zhatian actually led the Taixu Sect to join the ranks of overthrowing the Dacang Dynasty.

Even as one of the four holy places, Taixu Sect is still one of the leaders of those "rebel forces".

However, the foundation of the Da Cang Dynasty was so terrifying that until he was about to pass the tribulation and ascend to heaven, the dynasty was still on the verge of extinction.

"I wonder what the Master has brought here for?"

Chu Zhatian walked up to him, glanced at the mark on the other's official uniform, and immediately recognized his official position.

He cupped his hands and asked politely.

"What do you want to do? Doesn't Chu Zhenzong know?"

The deputy chief clerk who took the lead asked indifferently.

From the words, Chu Zhatian's identity in Taixu Sect was clearly revealed.

From this we can see that the various intelligence and information networks of the Da Cang Dynasty are still very powerful.

But even though they knew that Chu Zhatian was the sect leader, the other party's attitude was not very polite.

"This... I really don't know."

Chu Zhatian smiled and said innocently.

Behind him, Yue Chaolu, Yueyue and the others also came over.

Everyone seemed to sense that these people from the court had ill intentions.

Huo Huo, who was holding a beast's thigh in his mouth, snorted softly, wanting to warn the other party.

However, Chu Zhatian stopped it with his mind.

"Don't know? Okay! Then I'll tell you!"

"I am Liang Cai, the chief clerk under the prefectural governor, Lord Xiao!"

"In order to serve the dynasty, support the dynasty in quelling chaos in various places, and let the people live a comfortable life, Lord Xiao has recently formulated local laws that stipulate that if there is a dispute among the people in the jurisdiction, and compensation is required, one-third of the money must be handed over to the county government treasury!"

“And I heard that Chu Zhenzong just received a huge compensation from the Zhang family?”

"There are 150 million silver notes and 5 million spirit stones, right?"

"So according to the rules, Chu Zhenzong still doesn't hand over 50 million silver notes and 1.7 million spirit stones?"

This "Liang Zhubu" said with a serious face.

In the Da Cang Dynasty, every state and county had a prefect.

Whether it is the governor of a provincial capital or the governor of a county capital, he is equivalent to the "politics" of a place.

The county magistrate who holds military power or the "garrison commander" of the twelve states is equivalent to the "army".

Separating the two would facilitate checks and balances on each other and consolidate the central imperial power.

Prevent local military and political integration and the formation of independent forces.

At this moment, this Liang Zhubu and the yamen runners behind him were obviously men of Qingliu County's Xiao Fuyin.

As soon as the words fell, all the Taixu Sect members present at the scene immediately showed expressions of anger and suspicion.

"When did Qingliu County have such a law?"

"Give out one-third of the compensation? How is this different from robbery?"

Manager Liu, who was originally in charge here, frowned and spoke.

Yue Chaolu also said calmly: "Liang Zhubu, do you have the legal evidence? I have never heard of this law!"

"Humph!"

"This is what the prefect has just made!"

"You want a law enforcement order, right? Open your eyes and watch!"

Liang Zhubu snorted coldly and took out a piece of golden silk cloth.

It's an enforcement order!

He ordered them to come to the Taixu Sect's stronghold in Qingliu City to demand "compensation tax" from the sect leader Chu Zhatian!

Seeing this enforcement order, the anger on the faces of everyone present became even stronger.

"What's wrong with the prefect? ​​Why do you make laws at will?"

"One-third of the compensation tax? Could this law be aimed at the compensation that Junior Brother Chu received?"

"What a robber!"

Miao Yumeng was there, muttering angrily.

"Hmm? What did you say, little girl?"

"As the prefect of a county, Sir Xiao has the right to make local laws."

"You, Taixu Sect, don't want to cooperate? Or even want to rebel?"

Liang Zhubu's ears moved, and after hearing it, he immediately questioned in a stern voice.

A big hat was put on me directly.

When others were about to say something, Chu Zhatian raised his hand.

"As a sect under the rule of the Great Cang Dynasty, our Taixu Sect has always been loyal to the dynasty."

"One third of the compensation tax, right? Okay, I'll give it to you!"

Chu Zhatian said with certainty.

It was as if he really supported the policies of the Da Cang Dynasty and even the local county government.

Don’t let your goodwill suffer a loss, and don’t let eggs hit stones!

Now, neither himself nor the Taixu Sect’s strength can compete with the Dacang Dynasty.

Even in the area of ​​a county, the Da Cang Dynasty has a county governor and two governors of the Da Cang Wu Mansion branch, a total of three Dongxu powerful masters.

Even though he knew that this compensation tax might be directed at him, it might even have been just formulated by the Zhang family through their relationship with the prefect.

Chu Zhatian can only spit out part of it now!

But he made note of this account!
