After being reborn and farming, she was pregnant with the emperor's cub

Chapter 42 Before the Storm

"It's true that you are very powerful, and I also admit that I have no room for resistance in front of you."

"But no matter what, no matter how bad my reputation is, I don't want to just follow you without any reason and be a person without status."

"Do you understand what I mean? Sir, you only let me call you sir and sit on your lap, but I don't even know where your real home is or what you do."

Gu Qian said half-jokingly, but the seriousness in her eyes was not concealed at all.

"Sir, I don't want to be a confused person."

"So, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that even if I die, I want to die in a clear way. Instead of just being a fool."

"Are you going to tell me?"

Gu Qian stared at He Xingqian closely.

He is really a little kid.

The scene was obviously so serious, but He Xingqian just wanted to laugh for no reason.

She, Gu Qian, has never been a timid person.

"Now the entire county is under control, with no entry or exit. Everyone wants to leave the county before collecting taxes. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Yes."

Gu Qian was shocked: "Can't escape? Our county is under control?"

Anyway, for this first step, let's see what He Xingqian is going to show her tonight.

But there are signs and degrees.

So, He Xingqian rubbed Gu Qian's hair.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to do business even if you open the door?"

But unfortunately, those beautiful visions were all messed up by He Xingqian's inexplicable attitude.

"Tell me, we ordinary people are living well in this world. Who can have the money to double the tax? Wouldn't that cost the big guy's life?"

Let’s take a closer look at the behemoth behind He Xingqian.

I really don’t care much about innocence or anything like that.

"It's okay, I was just thinking about what snacks we should eat later."

Behind them is Chuntao, who follows them closely like a shadow.

"No, there is new news that tomorrow morning people from the government will come to collect taxes. I don't know how much it will cost this time. How many people can't get the money and can't escape from the county. They can only be beaten alive.

Die."

He Xingqian just said that if she was really curious, she could follow He Xingqian to a place at night.

"Little girl, do you dare to go?"

I haven't been to the town for a few days, and the overall environment in the town seems much more deserted.

Gu Qian's eyebrows were filled with the wanton arrogance that only belongs to young people.

"If you don't work in this county every day, you don't know that things are going to change in our county."

A threatening and provocative voice sounded in Gu Qian's ears.

In this case, she might as well change her strategy, stop avoiding and ignoring the puzzles, and go straight to find a way to solve the problem in a way that she is better at.

He Xingqian kindly reminded me.

Gu Qian glanced at Chuntao who was following behind her, and curled her lips silently.

So at first, because He Xingqian was too mysterious, Gu Qian had no intention of touching those things. She just planned to pretend to be stupid and hide away.

Rediscover your freedom.

If she didn't have the courage, she wouldn't dare to cut off her own reputation as soon as she was reborn, and destroy her own reputation with her own hands, just to get a vague and unknown way out for herself and her mother.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of making He Xingqian lose interest in her and let her go free in a short period of time is almost zero.

Gu Qian didn't get the answer she wanted from He Xingqian.

“It’s almost unbearable to live this life, and you’re still doing such a crappy business!”

Well, if this encounter wouldn't bring her so much trouble, Gu Qian would be even happier...

Gu Qian often comes to this drug store to sell medicinal materials, and she has long been familiar with everyone in this drug store.

To be honest, Gu Qian died tragically in her previous life, was reborn unexpectedly with her memories, and came back inexplicably.

She Gu Qian may not lose.

Since you know that the other party is unfathomable, you still want to seek death? Are you tough? She, Gu Qian, is not that stupid.

Gu Qian came over eagerly, as if she was curious.

The old doctor didn't mind confiding in Gu Qian either.

What? That night of innocence?

Oh, she was accidentally plotted by He Xingqian to lose her innocence and put herself in this situation. Gu Qian had resentment and hatred.

It was like the last lock on Pandora's Box, asking Gu Qian if she wanted to open that terrifying box.

It wasn't until she took Gu Nuo into the medicinal shop. Everyone in the medicinal shop was sighing that Gu Qian realized something was wrong.

When Gu Qian came to her senses again, she stood outside He's house, with He Nuo standing next to her.

"If you really go and get scared, don't regret it."

He wanted to say something else, but seeing Gu Qian's appearance, He Xingqian couldn't bear it.

After a while, He Xingqian lost interest in her, and she naturally got out of those troubles.

"Hey, you're such a pitiful girl. It's not a good time to enter the county town, but you should enter the county town at this time. Didn't you see so many people guarding the county gate? With so many people standing there, you still want to come in. Are you a tiger?

?Come on, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to get out this time..."

But what she hates is that she is inferior to others in chess and one move is too short to capsize the ship in the gutter, not the innocence itself.

But I didn't care.

He raised his eyes and asked her: "Sister, what's wrong?"

"I don't know what's wrong with our man. He's been really non-stop lately and doubled taxes like crazy. Anyone who doesn't pay or doesn't have anything will be beaten to death!"

Although there are many private officials in various places who privately increase taxes to replenish their own pockets.

When the old doctor behind the medicine cabinet saw that it was Gu Qian coming over, he sat back down with his butt raised just now, with a sad look on his face.

Gu Qian's answer is that even if everything is unknown, she will open the unknown Pandora's box.

She had survived such a bad situation, so what if she mustered up the courage to open Pandora's box and find a way to break it this time?

Can't you really make a fuss now, your innocence is gone? If you think about it from another angle, at worst it will be regarded as a not-so-beautiful encounter.

Pedestrians are coming and going in a hurry.

After all, in the future world of the previous life, there were too many things like men and women falling in love and living together and getting pregnant before they were married.

That's impossible!

The old doctor gave Gu Qian a strange look, as if he didn't understand why Gu Qian, who had just entered the county from the countryside, didn't know this.

It's just because those who know the current affairs are talented and know that they can't compete with others, and she didn't take that night to heart.

No, there are regulations on private taxes every year.

She had looked at He Xingqian in all kinds of ways before, and even if something like that happened, she could force herself to endure it.

"Have you remembered what I taught you? When you get to the drug store later, you must hold your chest up and your head up, and show your best side. Do you know that you will shock those people's jaws?!"

Gu Nuo pulled Gu Qian's sleeve.

In other words, if you want the ultimate answer, or get rid of He Xingqian.

After all, their purpose in raising taxes is to enrich their own pockets, not to drive the common people to death or force them to revolt.

He just said: "I can only promise you, I will not force you. I can wait until you are willing to move here."

Gu Qian suddenly came to her senses, pulled up her hair by her ears, shook her head, and pulled Gu Nuo closer to the noisy crowd.

"Last time your sister went alone, they dared to laugh at me. Hehe, we must go back to our place this time!"

Gu Qian didn't pay much attention at first, just thinking that during the busy farming season, everyone was busy with the work in the fields.

But why did the county magistrate suddenly make a fuss about charging sky-high taxes this time, and why did he charge them more than once in such a short period of time?

This kind of situation has never happened in the county before! Although the previous county magistrate was greedy for money, he was never so bold!

So why is the county magistrate acting so abnormally this time? He is short of money? No!

According to my last one-day trip to the County Taiye’s Mansion, the County Taiye’s Mansion was resplendent with splendor and grand banquets. It was definitely not a sign of lack of money.

What was the reason for the sudden abnormality of the county magistrate?

Inexplicably, Gu Qian suddenly thought of He Xingqian's gentle smile.

Instantly my heart beat like a drum.
