Chapter 356 The real murderer is me?
While Hashirama was confused.
In the distance, a middle-aged woman with tattered clothes rushed here frantically.
She hugged the reckless girl, then apologized and begged for mercy with cold feet and trembling body:
"I'm very sorry, very sorry!"
"I didn't discipline my child well, and let her offend several ninjas!"
"Please forgive me! I'll leave now, and take the girl away..."
The woman hugged her daughter, kowtowed and admitted her mistake, while trying to escape quickly.
"Wait a moment!"
Hashirama stopped the mother and daughter.
The latter trembled all over, knelt down immediately, and begged for mercy again.
"Please spare me! The girl really offended me intentionally! I, I..."
The daughter knew it, and the mother knew it too well.
The ninja in front of her was a superman who could kill even the monsters that were tens of meters high before.
If you piss off such a person, there is no way to survive!
"Don't get excited, I will kill you and hurt you and your daughter."
"I want to know what happened to the child who just said that I killed her father?"
Hashirama asked gently so as not to scare the woman again.
"No, it's not true!"
The girl's mother was obviously full of fear of ninjas and dared not respond.
But the girl herself did not have much fear, or she was still young and ignorant.
She stared at Hashirama and accused him loudly.
"Don't say anything!"
"Mom, you said that it was because of these ninjas that Dad died?"
"Shhh!"
The woman was terrified and immediately covered her daughter's mouth, and hurriedly explained:
"No, no! My child, you heard it wrong! I definitely didn't say that..."
Tobirama frowned and immediately scolded:
"Whatever my brother asked you, you said it, and we will never hurt you!"
"Tobirama, stop!"
Hashirama stopped Tobirama.
So, is it scary enough? Scarier than Uchiha!
"My brother is a bit radical. Don't worry, we will really hurt you. Please tell me what happened. If it is really related to me, I am willing to do my best to compensate!"
"Really not! I just ask people to let us go! Please!"
The woman was still willing to tell the truth. I also knew that she was afraid of Hashirama and others, and she had some other concerns.
"This..."
Hashirama sighed, and it seemed really forced.
Looking at this, I am afraid it will be difficult to ask any useful information.
So Hashirama looked at Madara beside him, hoping that Madara could help.
With just one glance, Madara understood what Hashirama meant. Although he was a little reluctant, he would still refuse Hashirama's request.
So, Madara opened his Sharingan, only opened the basic three jades, and glared at the woman casually.
The latter fell into illusion instantly, and his emotions stabilized.
And began to narrate the truth of the incident.
It turned out that:
This mother and daughter were just an ordinary farmer outside the city. When the tailed beast attacked some time ago, in order to avoid the disaster.
Most of the farmers outside the city were forced to move into the city.
They thought that the governor of the city of Namahatsu was doing a good thing to protect the people.
As a result, three days ago, after the tailed beast was successfully expelled.
Many farmers excitedly left the city and returned home, but suddenly found that their homes had been looted and all valuables were gone.
That's not all.
The town magistrates, together with the farmhouses and group leaders, directly occupied the land of ordinary people like us!
They claimed that we voluntarily abandoned the land, so they directly confiscated it to the lords of the assigned area.
And this is not over yet!
Yesterday, the warriors of the nobles came to us and asked us to pay a tax!
What is [suppression tax]?
The people of Konoha Ninja suffered so much that they specially commissioned the Konoha Ninja to expel the monsters, and thus needed to pay a commission fee.
The Konoha Prefecture will not pocket any of this suppression tax, and all will be paid to the mighty Konoha Kage!
To thank the ninjas for expelling the monsters and protecting the entire Konoha Prefecture!
The key point: this suppression tax is very expensive, requiring 2 stones!
It is also equivalent to about 300 kilograms of food, which is equivalent to two people's food for a year.
It accounts for almost 30% of our family's total annual income!
This is almost equivalent to death!
You know, although the Warring States period has ended, all countries, including the country of the Kingdom of Kuo, basically still use the harsh tax laws of the Warring States period.
For ordinary farmers, they need to pay various taxes every year.
Including: annual tribute, section money, building money, service, rice, banquets, etc.
There are more than ten items in total, and there are various repeated tax items.
In summary.
In a serious case, about 70% of a family's total harvest in a year can be confiscated directly!
It is equivalent to earning one thousand taels and only having three hundred taels left.
This can only barely support oneself and family when the harvest is bad; if there is a little turmoil, they will almost certainly starve to death!
And now.
This suddenly came up with a suppression of the salary, and they actually wanted to forcibly take away the last 30% of our food.
This is almost equivalent to killing people!
The woman's husband naturally agreed and had an argument with the samurai who came to collect taxes.
The other party didn't even bother to talk nonsense, and directly hacked the farmer to death with a knife, killed the girl's father, and then took away the food.
Such a scene happened to our family, and it was staged in almost the entire famous mansion and the surrounding areas.
In the past three days, all the nobles' subordinate samurai were imposing taxes, and even [Ruo Nian 꺛] [Fusuo Si Dai] and [Fucheng Dai] who were responsible for the security of the famous mansion joined in.
Because of this, the girl's father was killed and her food was robbed.
Then he ran out of the city gate hungry to pick up some garbage to satisfy his hunger.
When I saw the culprit who caused all this to happen, the ninja from Konoha Village.
께The girl was subconsciously dominated by anger and chose to attack the enemy with stones.
She understood the root cause, but she heard her mother cry that her father was killed by the noble lord's samurai and these Konoha ninjas!
…
Hearing this, the truth became clear.
And Hashirama understood everything instantly, and his mind exploded!
It turns out that he actually killed the other party's father!
놆That harsh [suppression of wages] killed the other party’s father!
Also, within these three days.
The aristocratic gentlemen in this famous mansion are basically raising their own money to pay the commission fee.
And during this period, they were frantically exploiting ordinary people, thereby squeezing out a huge amount of people's fat and money!
Even in the name of 뀙影!
The two billion silver taels in the motorcade behind Zijin and Tobirama were actually a huge sum of money scraped from the people of the city!
No wonder all the people out of the city today are filled with resentment and hate so much that they bite themselves and others to death!
