The dark night enveloped the city of Linchuan County.

It is already the end of midnight, and many people are already asleep.

Peng’s wife, Han, had a cold change in her early years. She had to get up and change her waist patch every midnight, otherwise she would not be able to sleep in such cold weather.

Han lit the lights and changed the dressing stickers in the room. At this time, suddenly, a black shadow flashed across the window outside.

Han was confused for a moment, thinking that it was probably the night cat from the next door, who came to steal food again, and without any care, he got up and prepared to go back to bed.

But, just as she got up, the door was suddenly kicked open. Han quickly turned around. Before she could shout, she was already covered by her mouth and nose and stabbed into her heart with a fierce knife.

Han fell to the ground, but the person who came rushed straight to the edge of the bed. The Peng Chancellor on the bed was awakened. He just opened his eyes, but he was strangled by someone and could not say a word.

"If you want to blame, you will blame you for knowing too much!"

The man stabbed him with a knife!...Death was quietly staged in Linchuan City.

… “Are you sure you have done it all clean?

Li Fan is not an ordinary person. Even if he only leaves clues, he may follow the clues."

In the alley, one or two carriages stopped quietly, and among the carriages, Mr. Han was suddenly! This matter was so important that he actually asked him to go out in person.

In the carriage, a man with a sinister expression was sitting opposite him. The man said, "Don't worry, this time I took action. After finishing it, I will go back to the mountain directly, and no one can find it!"

Mr. Han nodded and said, "There is the last one on the list now. If you kill him, you can go back first."

He glanced at the list.

The list is written very clearly, Zou Mingda, Zhang Shubo's confidant.

Zhang Shubo has no ability, and the reason why he was able to become the chief clerk of the county magistrate was because he had a good sister who married the former county magistrate Sun Zhongji.

So, when doing that, almost everyone was handed over to this man named Zou Mingda.

Zou Mingda, according to Zhang Shubo, was a juren in the provincial examination back then, but in that exam, Zhang Shubo asked his brother-in-law to replace Zou Mingda's fame.

Thinking of this, Mr. Han couldn't help but shake his head. In his opinion, Zhang Shubo's methods were really too despicable. He stole the other person's fame and fortune and forced him to be a gunman for him. This job was done roughly.

Deep in the alley, there is a small house.

"Brother, I heard that Lord Li Fan is here today..." In the room, a scholar who looked quite poor was talking to another person. Under the light, the other person was exactly the same as him! "Hey, it has been five years in a blink of an eye."

"It's been five years!"

The poor scholar drank wine and his eyes turned red, and he looked at his elder brother.

However, his elder brother just smiled foolishly and looked at him.

"Brother, if I hadn't been playing tricks when I was a child, I forced you to take me to fish, which would cause you to fall into the river and ruin your mind, and you wouldn't have been confused for the rest of your life... I owe you what my brother owe you."

The scholar looked at his elder brother and murmured, and then said, "But over the years, in order to take care of you, my younger brother has not even avenged revenge. He just wanted to earn more money so that you and my brother would no longer be hungry..." "But now Lord Li Fan is here, Lord Li Fan is a blue sky, and he dares to kill even the Sun family. If I go and report it, he will definitely not be able to escape!"

A hint of hatred gradually appeared in the scholar's somewhat scarlet eyes.

Back then, he was admitted to the juren, but was replaced by Zhang Shubo. Finally, he found him and said that he was giving him a chance to do things for Zhang Shubo... He was once angry and extremely angry, but in Linchuan County, he had nowhere to seek justice. Zhang Shubo's sister was the wife of the county magistrate, and the Sun family was the god of Linchuan County... In the end, in order to survive, he agreed.

Promising to do things for his enemies! Over the years, he had almost no hope, so no matter what kind of thing it was, he did it for Zhang Shubo.

However, the seeds of hatred in my heart have never disappeared.

Especially, when a ray of light has appeared in Linchuan County now.

Li Fan! Li Fan's deeds have spread throughout Linchuan, and countless people are looking forward to it... "Brother, don't cry, don't cry, peanuts, let's eat peanuts..." His elder brother saw the tears in his eyes, grabbed the peanuts and handed them to him, his eyes full of concern.

Zou Mingda's eyes felt sour and he couldn't help but feel in love. He stood up and said, "Forget it, brother, you don't understand what you said to you. I'll go to the toilet..." He went out the door and walked into the toilet not far away. When he entered the toilet, he suddenly heard a clang.

Did the elder brother overturn the plate?

Zou Mingda sighed, said nothing, and took up his pants and prepared to go back.

But at this moment, he saw two black shadows in the atom coming out of his room.

The two black shadows were carrying swords.

Zou Mingda's face changed instantly, and he didn't dare to move lightly. After the two of them left the yard, they didn't see any sound for a long time, he hurried back to the room! When he entered the room, he was stunned.

In the room, his elder brother... had already died on the spot! He died with his eyes open! "Brother!"

Zou Mingda shouted loudly, and he walked up with trembling and picked up his elder brother's body. For a moment, tears fell like rain! "The elder brother never went out and never knew anyone. Why did he kill him? Why did he kill him..." He felt very painful in his heart. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and was stunned in an instant.

"They... are here to kill me!"

"But they didn't know that they killed the eldest brother..." "Big brother died for me..." At this moment, he was stunned, and his pain was even more uncomfortable, but he also reacted.

Someone wants to kill him, but there must be only one reason for killing him.

Silence your mouth! If you don’t silence your mouth sooner or later, why do you want to kill him at this time?

He suddenly got up, ignored everything, turned around and ran! He ran towards the direction where the county magistrate lived!… “Master, aren’t you resting yet?”

Xiao Liuzi brought tea to Li Fan and asked questions with concern.

“Not sleepy.”

Li Fan shook his head, but suddenly asked, "Xiao Liuzi, have you paid the tax?"

When Xiao Liuzi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, Xiao Liuzi has never been in contact with her.

I used to be a little beggar, and no one would come to ask me for tax collection. Later, I followed Nan San and didn’t have to pay taxes.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan burst into laughter.

Yes, Nan Sanye is just a local snake in Donglin County. He just has a good relationship with Guo Lianyue, the son of Donglin County governor, and his subordinates can already be exempted from taxes and not paid.

"But Xiao Liuzi had collected taxes," Xiao Liuzi continued to speak, saying, "At that time, the poor often had some taxes that could not be raised, so the government asked us to go there, and we shared the taxes that were collected with the government... Alas, Xiao Liu was scolded by Nan San at that time, saying that I was a waste, and I couldn't even collect the money I picked up for food... But Xiao Liu really couldn't bear it. Those people were really too poor..." Li Fan nodded.

Donglin County is just a portrayal. In the entire Yangzhou, this is probably a common problem.

The taxes are extremely heavy! Moreover, the government does everything to collect money.

－ Otherwise, how could so many people be willing to listen to the story of Gu Xiaohu looking for ghosts and asking for money to pay taxes in the tea shop today?

If the tax is heavy, the country will advance and the people will return.

The people's money is concentrated, and the treasury should be full, but Li Fan also knew that the court is also very poor today.

Li Fan thought.

"Bang bang bang!"
