Chapter 947 Leaving Maocheng

Zhou Ran remained silent and noncommittal.

Qing Wenliang became anxious and said: "If you think the tax collected by the Taxation Department is too much, I can pay back all the taxes in Maocheng! As long as you spare my life, I will give it no matter how much it costs!"

The members of the Taxation Department who were lucky enough to survive saw the director in such a state, so naturally they did not dare to make a mistake, and they all knelt in front of Zhou Ran.

"Champion Hou, you are a hero, you must not be the same as us, right?"

"Yes! You sir have a lot, please spare us!"

"We promise not to dare!"

The members of the tax department are so arrogant and domineering when they collect taxes, but so humble when they beg for mercy.

The Lord of Maocheng, Qi Maolin, stood up slowly. The scene in front of him made him unable to believe it, as if he was dreaming.

The arrogant tax department of Qing State actually knelt down in front of Zhou Ran and begged for mercy.

To what extent does Zhou Ran's strength reach?

Qi Maolin was stunned when Zhou Ran had already stretched out his hand.

"Bring the money!"

Qing Wenliang had no choice but to take out the Qiankun Ring again.

"Marquis Champion, this contains Maocheng's tax revenue for the past year. I will return this money to Maocheng. From now on, the Taxation Department will not come to Maocheng to collect taxes again!"

Zhou Ran smiled slightly and immediately poured out the contents of the Qiankun Ring.

They were all red soul coins, piled up into a hill, and the scene was spectacular.

The Maocheng Guard soldiers who returned to the city wall were all dumbfounded. Have they ever seen so much money in their lives?

After offering the Red Soul Coin, Qing Wenliang quietly moved his steps, preparing to escape.

"stop!"

Zhou Ran stopped him.

Qing Wenliang turned around tremblingly: "Champion Hou, I have already given you the money, can you let me go?"

Zhou Ran shook his head and said, "I did ask you to take out the money, but I didn't say I would let you go after taking the money."

Qing Wenliang was immediately furious: "If you go back on your word, I will fight with you!"

As he spoke, Qing Wenliang used all his strength to attack Zhou Ran like a cannonball.

Zhou Ran remained unmoved and tapped Qing Wenliang's forehead lightly with his finger.

This is not an ordinary finger. Zhou Ran's powerful spiritual thoughts are lingering on the finger. This spiritual thought is injected into Qing Wenliang's body. How can Qing Wenliang still have any chance of survival?

Qing Wenliang's body collapsed and he lay motionless on the ground.

This powerful man at the peak of divine transformation could not survive a single move in Zhou Ran's hands.

Seeing this, the other members of the Taxation Department dared not confront Zhou Ran head-on. Since Zhou Ran wanted to kill everyone, they might as well escape quickly, maybe there would be a chance of survival.

The members of the Taxation Department scattered like birds and beasts, thinking that Zhou Ran could not deal with so many people at the same time.

But everyone thought wrong. Zhou Ran didn't care at all how many members there were in the Taxation Department.

From the Qiankun Ring, nine spiritual swords flew out.

No matter how fast these people are, they can't be faster than Zhou Ran's nine spiritual swords.

After a while, every spiritual sword was stained with the blood of members of the Taxation Department.

More than twenty powerful gods brought by Qing Wenliang, as well as Qing Wenliang himself, all died in Zhou Ran's hands.

The members of the Maocheng Guards on the city wall were all stunned.

I originally thought that Maocheng would be destroyed, but I didn't expect that Zhou Ran could defeat everyone by himself.

City Lord Qi Maolin cautiously walked up to Zhou Ran and said, "Will you kill me?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said,

Said: "City Lord Qi, you are willing to sacrifice for the people of Maocheng. I will not kill a good person."

"I am a good person?"

Qi Maolin was stunned. This was the first time he heard such words, and he seemed flattered.

Zhou Ran pointed to the red soul coins on the ground and said: "With these red soul coins, Maocheng's life will be a little easier. You can take them all. Since they were looted by the tax department, they should be returned to them." Everyone."

"thanks, thanks!"

Qi Maolin said gratefully, Zhou Ran is really a living Bodhisattva.

The citizens of Maocheng are almost dying. These red soul coins can save many lives.

"Champion Hou, please come back to Maocheng with me. The citizens of the city will thank you very much!"

Qi Maolin extended an invitation to Zhou Ran. If it hadn't come from Qing Wenliang's mouth, he might not have known Zhou Ran's name.

Zhou Ran shook his head and said: "I killed the people from the Taxation Department, but I am afraid that I have been targeted by the leader of the Qing Kingdom. Therefore, it is better for me to leave. Maocheng only needs to keep this secret at this time and provide me with the information from above." With the portraits and clues, the king shouldn’t embarrass Maocheng, right?”

Qi Maolin was deeply moved by Zhou Ran's words.

Not only did he help Maocheng eliminate the most hated tax department, but he also took the blame on himself. For the sake of Maocheng's safety, he also cut ties with Maocheng.

I can still meet such a good person in my life.

"Champion Hou, Maocheng will never forget you!" Qi Maolin said gratefully.

Zhou Ran pointed to the red soul coins on the ground and said: "Put away these money as soon as possible. It's not convenient for me to stay here, so I'll leave here."

After saying a few words, Zhou Ran left Maocheng.

The deeper into Qingguo, the more Zhou Ran felt the desolation of Qingguo.

The land area of ​​Qingguo is much larger than that of Jingguo, but the land is barren and the people have a hard time making a living.

Most of the city-states he passed through were similar to Maocheng, which was particularly desolate.

Within a few days, Zhou Ran had passed through several city-states and learned about the national conditions of the Qing Kingdom. They were all bleak, and the citizens complained against the king.

Zhou Ran already knew in his heart that all this was caused by the lord Dongli. Why Donghua Immortal's son did this, he didn't know.

It is getting closer and closer to the capital.

On the other hand, news that the Taxation Department's entire army had been annihilated has reached the capital.

Duan Xuan, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was immediately worried.

The Qing army had just experienced a defeat, and now all the elite members of the Taxation Department had died inexplicably, and the state machinery had been paralyzed.

Duan Xuan could not take charge of such a major matter, so he immediately came to the palace and prepared to report the matter to the king.

A chamberlain came out and said: "General Duan, the Lord of the Kingdom is practicing in seclusion. If you have anything important to report, please let us know after you leave the retreat!"

"It's an emergency, how can I have so much time?"

Duan Xuan was so impatient that he pushed the servant aside and came to the back garden of the palace.

This was the retreat place for the king of the country, Dongli. Duan Xuan quickly found a flash of stone gate. Behind the stone door was the king of the Qing Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Please come out and see me!"

Duan Xuan said loudly, but the stone door did not respond at all. It did not move at all and did not open. This made Duan Xuan even more impatient.

While waiting, Duan Xuan suddenly felt a huge gravitational force, which almost sucked his whole body in.
