Lu Feiyu, who was watching a play, was stunned when he heard that the matter suddenly involved him.
Boy, can this be blamed on him?
Okay, let’s assume that this fourth tax collection is because of me. What about the previous three times, were they also because of me?
At that time, I didn’t know about the existence of the Tianyuan World, let alone the existence of the Dayan Dynasty.
Lu Feiyu used to think that the Great Yan Dynasty was quite generous, but it turns out that these rewards were all obtained by plundering the people's wealth.
Truly "take from the people and use it for the people."
It’s just that the amount taken is a bit too much and a bit too aggressive.
Taxes are collected three or four times in less than half a year. Even a mule can’t stand this, right?
Moreover, seeing the arrogant attitude of these tax collectors, Lu Feiyu was afraid that these people would have to pay not only the grain tax they should pay, but also a lot more.
Even, you might have to secretly give some copper coins and silver to satisfy these greedy petty officials.
For this guy, collecting taxes is no different from skinning someone alive.
What’s more, the skin has to be peeled off four times in less than half a year!
Even snakes can't shed their skin like this.
Lu Feiyu shook his head. Although he also looked down on the behavior of the petty officials, he didn't intend to take care of this matter.
After all, he came here to cause destruction, not to build the Great Yan Dynasty.
Moreover, even if he could control these petty officials in Qingshan Town.
What about other villages, other towns, and even other main cities?
The Great Yan Dynasty is so big, can he manage it?
He doesn't have the time, let alone the energy to care.
From Lu Feiyu's perspective, this feudal dynasty was rotten to the core.
It must be eradicated completely and the modern thinking of the Beast Taming World must completely change the way these people think.
To achieve this, Lu Feiyu must devour the Heavenly Dao of this world, so that the overall strength of the Beast Taming World will be stronger than that of the Tianyuan World.
After all, throughout the world, from ancient times to the present, only the weak have listened to the strong and followed the principles of the strong.
As his thoughts turned, Lu Feiyu raised his foot again, walked through the group of people crying and begging for mercy, and continued to move towards the Song family.
On the way, he also saw several petty officials holding iron whips driving a group of pale-faced and ragged people.
The petty officials were cursing, and the people in the army were in a miserable state.
I think they are refugees who were unable to pay taxes and were driven to Linyuan City to repair the city walls.
The work of repairing the city wall is not based on the modern eight-hour work system, with weekends off.
Both the intensity and hours of work are even more exaggerated than the "996" that Chinese workers are afraid of.
You really have to work as soon as you open your eyes, all year round.
Of course, people who do this kind of work usually don't live a full year.
After all, food, clothing and shelter were extremely poor, and there were occasional monster attacks from the Beast Abyss.
If you can work for two or three months, you are considered lucky.
Those with bad luck might die on the same day!
While thinking in his mind, Lu Feiyu had already walked to the gate of the Song family mansion.
Although the Song family was submissive in Linyuan City, they even wanted to marry the head of the family's daughter to the sick son of the Zhang family as a concubine.
But this does not mean that the Song family is weak in Qingshan Town.
On the contrary, the Song family, which has warriors in the Transcendent Realm, is a hegemon in the huge Qingshan Town.
Even the petty officials who came to collect taxes had to put on a smile in front of the Song family and carefully say things like "The dynasty is not easy, please bear with me."
His attitude was unbelievably good, completely different from the several clerks Lu Feiyu had met before.
Lu Feiyu released his spiritual sense, which stretched for a thousand meters, covering the entire Song family mansion.
Soon, his expression changed and he saw his old acquaintance Song Lin.
However, when Song Lin returned home, he was even more embarrassed than when he was in Linyuan City.
A young girl actually lived in an attic with a ceiling height of less than 1.5 meters, which was used to store miscellaneous items.
There was not even a bed in the attic, only a thin blanket covering Song Lin.
At this height, even a woman like Song Lin couldn't stand up straight.
How can this be a place for people to live?
Living here is simply a torture to one's self-confidence and self-esteem.
Moreover, Lu Feiyu discovered through his spiritual observation that Song Lin, the daughter of a family head, lived in an even simpler place than those servants and maids.
Although the living conditions of those people were not very good, with most of them sleeping in a large bunk bed with several people, at least they could walk with their backs straight.
“That shouldn’t be the case.”
Lu Feiyu said in his heart.
How could Song Lin end up in such a miserable situation in the Song family when he had the full protection of Uncle Song Qiushan?
What's more, when the Zhang family was destroyed, he noticed that Song Lin and Song Qiushan took away a lot of the Zhang family's precious resources.
With these resources, she should also be able to have a place in the Song family.
Thinking of this, Lu Feiyu was suddenly stunned.
Where is Song Qiushan?
Where did the caravan leader go?
The other party is a warrior who has reached the fifth level of physical body. He is also a big figure in the huge Song family, otherwise he would not be the head of the caravan.
Where did this old guy go when his young lady was insulted like this?
Lu Feiyu's spiritual sense moved, and he finally found Song Qiushan's figure.
Song Qiushan was thrown into the attic like garbage.
Why didn't Lu Feiyu discover the other party at the first time?
Because Song Qiushan now doesn't look like a human being at all!
His hands and legs had disappeared, leaving only his torso and head.
And his long gray hair was also shaved clean.
At this moment, his eyes were blank, staring straight at the black ceiling, like a dead man.
Only when his eyes moved slightly occasionally did he reveal a hint of life.
Seeing the other person like this, Lu Feiyu took a breath.
What on earth happened to Song Qiushan that he ended up like this?
The Song family was so cruel that they could torture an old man of the Song family to such a state.
Moreover, a manpower of the fifth level of martial arts was destroyed just like that?
Lu Feiyu had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He flashed and came to the attic where Song Lin and Song Qiushan were.
Depressed, cramped, and unable to raise my head.
This was Lu Feiyu’s first feeling after appearing in the attic.
He was 1.8 meters tall and had to bend his knees, bend his waist, and shrink his neck to avoid hitting the attic ceiling.
"This is not a place for people to live."
Lu Feiyu complained and scanned the surroundings.
After arriving at the attic, Lu Feiyu was able to see more details.
He clearly saw that under the thin blanket on Song Lin's body, there were two black iron chains as thick as an adult's arms, locking her hands and feet tightly.
The chain has a barb on the inside.
As long as Song Lin moved slightly, the iron barb would pierce into his flesh mercilessly, taking out a piece of flesh.
