However, no one among the crowd answered Yang Chuxia, and the Land Officers of the two villages had been hiding in the back without showing themselves.
Ye Er and the others also didn’t know which two were the Land Officers.
"Madam, those two chubby fellows in the back are the Land Officers. The one with the beard is from Yangxi Village, and the one without a beard is from Yangdong Village. The two are brothers, and Yangxi and Yangdong used to be one village more than ten years ago." The speaker was still that elder sister from among the won, a villager from Shoutao Village, which was closer to here, so naturally she knew who was who.
Upon hearing her words, Yang Chuxia looked back and saw that indeed the two n were hiding behind others; when they saw her looking at them, they even shrank back a bit.
"I’ll ask once again, will you pay the taxes or not?"
After asking, the villagers didn’t even hesitate to exchange glances, but instead shouted in unison that they would not pay. This made Yang Chuxia marvel at the village’s impressive solidarity.
"Very good!"
At this mont, Li Wen, whom she had sent away, arrived with a hundred or so robust n, who seed to have been gathered from the nearby villages as well.
Clapping her hands, she said, "Not paying, very good! Now that you’re not paying, it’ll be too late when you later change your minds. You don’t want to pay taxes, then off you go to the dical clinic. Li Wen, Ye Er, get our n to go up there, shave these ignorant fools for . Still dare to be defiant? I’ll show them what true defiance is! Beat them up first, then after that, break a leg off each one of them, as long as they don’t die."
"Yes!"
By this point, Ye Er’s heart was already brimming with tears.
Why did he feel that dealing with thugs was sothing the lady managed so effortlessly? Well, he hadn’t spent much ti following Ye Zi’an and hadn’t personally witnessed the thods Yang Chuxia employed against Old Lady Hua and her group back in the day.
In Yang Chuxia’s eyes, these people were no different from the likes of Yang Xiao’an, people with whom you couldn’t reason, needed no reasoning.
Whoever saw soone trying to reason with a madman? When dealing with a madman, isn’t it just a tranquilizer shot and down they go?
The villagers of Yangxi and Yangdong saw that Yang Chuxia and Li Wen had suddenly brought so many people, but they weren’t scared at all; their villages had plenty of people too.
When they saw people charging at them, they also charged forward.
"Ye Er, Ye Wu, keep an eye out, don’t let this stubborn lot hurt our people," she ordered.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
So a new brawl began, with the village won not stepping forward because they knew if they dared to move, the people behind Yang Chuxia would charge at them.
Ye Er, Ye Wu, and the others, facing these people who only had so brute force, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say one could fight a hundred. With these guards and the robust n from other villages, victory was overwhelming.
"So, is it ti for the Land Officers to co out yet?" Yang Chuxia pretended she hadn’t heard the elder sister’s words before, planning to let those two co out on their own.
By that ti, the villagers had all but collapsed, forcing the two Land Officers to co out.
"This is too much, just too much! Is this how the officials of Great Zhou treat people, by bullying the commoners? Old man here is going to the prefecture to sue you, I’m going to the prefecture to sue you!" The two Land Officers still knew to strike first, imdiately claiming that the officialdom was to bla.
Yang Chuxia snorted coldly and said to the people behind her, "You tell them, who are you?"
The Godsend elder sister spoke up again, "I’ll tell you Old He, stop spouting that official jargon. Who even considers a pitiful Land Officer like you in our village matters? I’m from Shoutao Village, and definitely not one of those official folks."
