Chapter 282 The Roots of the Great Zhou Royal Family
Ruan Xiu followed behind Ye Fan, and the two soon came to a restaurant.

This restaurant is small and the owner is a middle-aged man.

After the two sat down, they began to order, but they only ordered two vegetarian dishes.

Ye Fan brought Ruan Xiu, instead of eating inside, he went outside.

Here you can see the road and surrounding streets.

Ruan Xiu still looked puzzled.

But Ye Fan smiled and said, "Eat it!"

One is the sword master of Chaotian Continent, number one in the world.

One is the national teacher of the Great Zhou royal family.

The person with the highest cultivation level and the most powerful power sat in such a small restaurant just to eat two bowls of rice and order two vegetarian dishes.

If this scene were seen by people from the Zhou royal family or the spiritual world, they would be shocked immediately.

Ye Fan quickly finished the rice in front of him, Ruan Xiu thought that Ye Fan was going to leave, so he also prepared to strip off the rice in front of him.

But Ye Fan waved his hand at him and said, "Don't worry, take your time."

Then he called in the owner of the store and started talking to him.

Ye Fan asked: "Boss, how is the business?"

The boss sighed, shook his head and said, "What else can I do to support my family."

"I see that there are people coming and going in your restaurant. The business should be pretty good. What's the matter?" Ye Fan asked.

The boss immediately complained: "You don't know, these officials come to collect our taxes every day, and all the money they earn is given to the court. I think my small shop will not be able to open soon."

"How?" Ye Fan asked.

The boss continued: "It's not that those bastards from the government said that the tax will increase again recently. If the increase is really unaffordable, then I am going to close this shop."

At this time, the conversation between Ye Fan and the hotel owner also attracted Ruan Xiu's attention.

Ruan Xiu looked at the owner of the restaurant, and suddenly asked: "Aren't the imperial court's taxes all standard? Do you want to increase it?"

The boss looked at Ruan Xiu: "There is no standard, His Majesty is not the only one who has the final say, but this has deceived ordinary people like us."

Should not be!

Ruan Xiu murmured, "How could it be?"

As the Great National Teacher of the Great Zhou royal family, he naturally knows a lot about some affairs of the court.

He knows that taxes will increase every year, but at the same time there are demands for tax cuts.

These are the rules he often heard in the court, and they are also the rules set by the young emperor himself, why they suddenly changed now.

And seeing that the owner of this shop opened a restaurant, he couldn't even afford an ordinary life.

He originally thought that under the rule of the Great Zhou royal family, the weather would be smooth, the country would be safe and peaceful, and a restaurant owner should have a good life.

But looking at the store owner's appearance, it seems that he is not satisfied.

Ye Fan waved his hand quickly, and after handing over the meal money to the boss, he turned to look at Ruan Xiu and said, "Have you finished eating?"

Ruan Xiu nodded: "Eat well."

But judging by his appearance, it seems that he is not in a good mood.

Take Ruan Xiu and continue walking forward.

Soon, they came to a cloth shop.

Ruan Xiu didn't understand why Ye Fan brought him to the cloth shop.

Ye Fan was picking and choosing in the shop, as if he wanted to make a suit of clothes.

The shop owner quickly came over and said: "What kind of clothes does this guest officer want to make, I have all the best materials."

Ye Fan said, "Boss, how is your business here?"

The boss sighed, shook his head and said, "Stop talking, these damn servants come to bully us every day, and they come to collect taxes when they have something to do, and squeeze us ordinary people. We are bullied by them. .”

Ruan Xiu stepped up and said, "Isn't there any government supervision? You can report to the government!"

Seeing what Ruan Xiu said, the cloth shop owner immediately became unhappy.

"Reporting to an official? What's the use of reporting to an official? Those who are officials are even darker." The cloth shop owner said.

"Isn't there still His Majesty the Emperor?" Ruan Xi asked.

"Hey!" The owner of the cloth shop smiled, and then said nothing.

Ruan Xi didn't understand what he meant.

Then, Ye Fan took Ruan Xiu out of the cloth shop.

He didn't say anything about what the boss said just now.

Walking on the street, I saw villagers from the surrounding towns passing by one by one, and then many officers and soldiers also came over.

Those officers and soldiers followed the shops and began to collect rent.

Ye Fan and Ruan Xiu stood on both sides of the street and watched them.

After the officers and soldiers came in and collected the money, they put it in their pockets.

Ruan Xiu looked at this scene, her eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.

Ye Fan looked at him and said, "You're surprised, aren't you?"

Ruan Xiu nodded.

These officers and soldiers should be specially used by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty to collect taxes.

But shouldn't these taxes be collected from the treasury?

Why was these officers and soldiers received in their arms.

Ye Fan shook his head and did not explain. Next, he brought Ruan Xiu to a mansion.

Entering through the back door, with the abilities of Ye Fan and Ruan Xiu, no one can find them.

Next, Ye Fan and Ruan Xiu quietly pushed open a window.

When Ruan Xiu saw the scene inside, her eyes widened.

In that room, many treasures of gold and silver, and Linluo silk and satin were stored.

Who is the owner of this room, Ruan Xiu, as the national teacher of the Great Zhou royal family, naturally knows.

He just didn't expect that the gentle, respectful and thrifty, loyal and upright people who usually behaved in court would actually look like this behind their backs.

"How could this be?" Ruan Xiu asked.

Ye Fan said: "Now you can see clearly how rotten the Great Zhou royal family you are loyal to has become!"

Ruan Xiu was stunned.

The surprise in his heart was really hard to calm down.

I thought that after the monks in the practice world were wiped out, under the rule of the Great Zhou royal family, the world would surely usher in the prosperity of singing and dancing and the prosperity of the country and the people.

But what I didn't expect was that the roots of the Great Zhou royal family had actually rotted away.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he attacked the space gate, he encountered many resistances.

Even the imperial court's supply and grain were cut off many times.

With the power of the Great Zhou royal family as a single country, they couldn't support the practitioners on the front line.

"Does His Majesty know these things?" Ruan Xiu asked suddenly at this time.

Ye Fan looked at him and said, "What do you think?"

Ruan Xiu was silent.

With the emperor's deep thoughts, how could he not know these things.

I am afraid that he knows all courtiers and officials who are corrupt.

You know, the young emperor is in charge of Dali Temple.

That is the place where the officials are supervised.

"Do you think Dali Temple is clean?" Ye Fan suddenly looked at Ruan Xiu and said.

Ruan Xiu looked up at Ye Fan with a horrified expression.

Dali Temple?
Is it?

Ye Fan nodded and said, "If you don't believe me, just follow me!"

After speaking, he brought Ruan Xiu to another place.

This is the residence of the Deputy Minister of Dali Temple.
