Zhou Bin felt a little surprised. They hadn't spoken yet, so why did they surround them?
Zhou Bin asked calmly, "What are you going to do?"
A soldier laughed and said, "How dare you escape taxation, you are obviously selling cats, you must pay taxes, ten spirit crystals, I will pay it in a moment!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Bin and the others were stunned. What did this mean?
The snow leopard on the side was so angry that it immediately bared its teeth and roared, thinking that these people were really evil.
I am obviously a mighty and majestic snow leopard, how dare you say he is a cat!
This is nothing. To say that he was a cat for sale is too much.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "You must be mistaken. We are just passing by. Where can you buy cats? Besides, this is a snow leopard, not a cat!"
But the soldiers just stared and lied. They said in unison that this was a cat and that taxes must be paid.
Bai Long and Xiao Bao on the side were almost furious. This guy was really too much. They couldn't help but want to attack the masters, but were stopped by Zhou Bin's eyes.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go pay the tax in a bit."
When the soldiers saw that Zhou Bin and his men did not resist, they immediately became arrogant.
A soldier said with a smile: "Boy, you are smart. Just wait patiently."
After that, they led the people away. After they left, Bai Long said with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Zhou, these people are too arrogant. Why don't they let us take action?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's see what other tricks they have, and then we'll talk about it."
When they saw that Brother Zhou was not in a hurry at all, they had to endure it for the time being.
Zhou Bin led them and followed behind the crowd, waiting to pay.
After a while, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened and everyone was let in one after another.
Zhou Bin smiled and whispered, "Look, aren't we coming in now?"
The two nodded. It turned out that Brother Zhou meant for them to sneak in first.
Once they got inside, they were immediately taken to a small house.
It turned out that these people were here to pay money. Zhou Bin discovered that most of these people who paid the money were ordinary people, and they all had angry expressions on their faces but dared not speak out.
Zhou Bin felt that the time was right, so he immediately stood up and shouted, "Wait! Don't pay yet!"
At this time, a middle-aged man was about to start paying, but was stopped by Zhou Bin's shout.
Everyone turned around in surprise, wondering who was so bold as to openly stop everyone from paying.
The uncle looked at Zhou Bin blankly, not knowing what he was going to do.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Bin quickly came to the front of the crowd.
The soldiers were also confused and didn't know what Zhou Bin was trying to do.
Zhou Bin said loudly: "Uncle, this is obviously unreasonable. Why do you want to pay?"
The uncle felt happy when he heard Zhou Bin openly speaking up for him, but faced with such a scene, he dared not refuse to pay even if he didn't want to!
So the uncle didn't say anything and just lowered his head.
At this time, the soldiers came to their senses and surrounded Zhou Bin in a flash.
The tax collector was very angry and asked in a stern voice: "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry about who I am. Your way of collecting money is unreasonable. It's pure robbery! Why should we listen to you?"
"How dare you! You, a young boy, actually dare to question the city lord's rules. You really don't know your place!" the little leader scolded angrily.
Zhou Bin was not in a hurry, and said loudly: "Don't you find it strange? Other places charge at most three points, but here they dare to charge fifteen. Are they planning to eat us? You must not pay, and you can't let them bully you!"
As soon as Zhou Bin's words came out, everyone became excited instantly, because what Zhou Bin said was what was in their hearts. They also knew that such rules were extremely unreasonable, but facing the City Lord's Mansion, no one dared to resist at all.
If Zhou Bin hadn't stepped up today, everyone would have just handed in the money obediently as they did before.
Now Zhou Bin was speaking for everyone. Although no one dared to express their agreement publicly, they all consciously collected the money. Everyone hoped that Zhou Bin could fight for some rights for everyone.
When the soldiers saw this, they thought that this kid Zhou Bin dared to incite trouble in public, it was really outrageous!
The little leader shouted, "Come here! Catch this troublemaker and beat him up!"
