C293 Please rob me (1/2)

Shisan, I beg of you, rob me!

”Plop!” Li Ming dropped to the ground.

Facing the threat of death, he was still able to stand, but when he heard that someone was going to seize his office, he was on the verge of collapse.

The Bao Zhou Palace was only a sixth stage official, but Li Ming had painstakingly spent dozens of years to obtain it, using it to bring glory to his family.

Moreover, the only thing Li Ming could think of was how to snatch the official position, and that was to kill him.

Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to help Li Ming up, and said: ”Don't be afraid Lord Li, this friend of mine does not want to rob your official, he wants to pay.”

”Rent?” Li Ming was even more afraid as he slipped down from the chair.

”Rent?” Chang Zilong was even more shocked, and actually jumped up.

Jiang Xiaobai was a little puzzled, and asked: ”Is there something wrong?”

”You don't know about this, do you?” The Master Bu laughed out loud, ”The people of this era all have very bad brains. The nation has no money in war, so it is fine to force people to share their money with them, but not with them taking the initiative to pay. ”

Jiang Xiaobai became even more confused: ”What kind of logic is this? If you don't want the free money, then why are you so happy about the robbery? ”

”It's not that I don't want to, it's that I want to take your life as well.” The Master Bu said, ”By donating troops privately, we are suspected of bribing an army. What are you trying to buy an army for? If you want to rebel, how can they still be courteous towards you? ”

What kind of bandit logic was this?

Jiang Xiaobai turned to Chang Zilong and asked: ”Is that so?”

Chang Zilong nodded his head, and said: ”Actually, with our Chang Clan's wealth, it is enough to support Cantonment Camp to go out. ”But my father doesn't dare, he can only send me several hundred kilograms of food in the name of visiting family, a few pieces of cured meat, or else he won't dare anymore.”

It was actually true!

Jiang Xiaobai turned to Li Ming and asked: ”Lord Li, if Master Bu is going to pay the starting fee, what if you don't want it?”

Li Ming was so scared that he immediately waved his hands, and said: ”My lords, please do not speak such outrageous words again, we will kill everyone!”

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless.

The reason Jiang Xiaobai kidnapped him was to tell him that he had enough financial resources to support his Cantonment Camp.

As long as the Cantonment Camp was activated, his life would be in his hands. When the time came, he could use modern weapons to scare them, and the probability of surrender would be extremely high.

Even if the whole army didn't surrender, most of them would flee.

If a group of people who had been starving for years suddenly ate rice for a few days, got their fill, and even had meat, would they still be willing to go back and continue to starve?

However, this thought was cut off at the root – he did not dare to accept it!

”Tch!” Master Bu sneered again, and said: ”You don't dare to take the salary, wouldn't you charge me a special tax? Your next order is that the southern merchant Bu Ren would come to Bao Zhou to do business and make a huge profit, so he will be charged a special tax of three thousand silver and sent to the military, won't that do? ”

”Special tax? This official does not dare! ” Li Ming didn't believe it at all. You have all kidnapped an official of the imperial government, how can you take the initiative to give out money?

Master Bu said: ”Come on, didn't you guys always try to force the exorbitant tax on people?”

”This official doesn't dare!”

”I'm serious. Three thousand taels is too little. Why don't you just ask for five thousand taels?”
