Chapter 139 The North Has Increased Taxes Tenfold and Must Pay Them Every Seven Days!

The icy voice reached everyone's ears, and they were shocked.

"We know our sins!" The monks of the Northern Territory kowtowed one after another.

They knew their fate very well, and could only admit defeat.

All the surviving monks of the Northern Territory were silent, and dared not breathe.

They lowered their heads and trembled.

Jiang Luoshen stared at this scene in a daze, and felt an inexplicable emotion surging in her chest.

She suddenly remembered a sentence, 'Heaven is ruthless, and the people are innocent.'

She wanted to ask: 'What is the guilt of the people? ! '

But she didn't have the courage to say it, and even without Qin Mu's permission, she didn't dare to get up and walk out of the dragon chariot.

She finally managed to stabilize her master, and she must not make her master angry again.

Otherwise, who knows what terrible results will be.

After this period of adjustment, Jiang Luoshen has developed an instinctive fear of Qin Mu.

This kind of fear does not even need the influence of the demon mark, it is simply the fear hidden in the depths of her soul.

Qin Mu used his mood swings, cruelty and ruthlessness to leave an unforgettable shadow on Jiang Luoshen's fragile heart...

"You have committed a heinous crime and numerous crimes, and you deserve to be executed!" Qin Mu's voice was calm and calm.

As soon as the voice fell,

tens of millions of Northern Territory monks were frightened and collapsed to the ground, and even their breathing became rapid.

"Don't kill us! Please spare us!!"

"Your Majesty! We know we are wrong! Please let us go!"

"I am willing to give you all my belongings! I just hope you can spare my life!!"

"Please have mercy..."

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

"Your Majesty, you are so merciful, please spare us!!"

........

Wailing sounded everywhere, and a group of Northern Territory monks desperately crawled forward, crying and begging.

For a while,

various begging voices came one after another.

All the monks in the northern region prostrated themselves on the ground, desperately kowtowing to Qin Mu. The scene was horrific and shocking.

After experiencing this catastrophe personally, their hearts and minds were completely wiped out, leaving only fear and panic.

They really didn't want to endure such torture again.

Now their only thought was to save their lives!

They would rather give all their belongings to Qin Mu in exchange for a way to survive...

Jiang Luoshen looked at everything below, her hands couldn't help but tightly grasp the hem of her skirt, her teeth bit her lips lightly, and she said nothing.

Her heart was once again filled with deep guilt.

Although she thought she had a clear conscience, these monks in the northern region were indeed implicated by her and suffered such a disaster.

All this was caused by her.

Jiang Luoshen lowered her head, and her heart was still unable to let go.

"Master... spare them..." After a long time, Jiang Luoshen raised his head and said timidly.

However, Qin Mu's expression did not change at all. He was indifferent as always. He glanced at the monks kneeling on the ground indifferently.

Just when Jiang Luoshen began to despair slowly in his heart,

Qin Mu's indifferent voice came.

"Raise your heads."

Hearing this, the monks in the northern border slowly raised their heads, their eyes were frightened and afraid.

Qin Mu looked down at them, his tone cold: "Since ancient times, those who attempted rebellion have all ended up with their nine clans implicated. When you rebelled, have you ever thought about what will happen to your descendants?"

Hearing this,

all the monks shuddered and showed panic on their faces.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive us! We will never dare to do it again!"

"Your Majesty, we will never dare to do it again, please forgive us!"

"We are willing to submit to you and follow you forever!"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy, as long as you let us go, we can agree to anything!"

The monks of the Northern Territory knelt down and begged, and kept kowtowed to Qin Mu for mercy.

Seeing the monks of the Northern Territory groveling and begging for mercy, Jiang Luoshen's pretty face was full of complex expressions.

Qin Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as indifferent as snow.

"Since you know your crime, I will give you a chance to live."

"However, the death penalty can be exempted, but the living crime cannot be escaped."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then, a strong ecstasy suddenly appeared on their faces.

They don't have to die? !

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

They kowtowed frantically, their foreheads were broken and bleeding.

After a moment, Qin Mu's voice sounded again.

"Since your repentance is commendable, I will pardon your crimes today, confiscate your property, demote you to commoners, and never leave the northern region."

"In addition, from today on, the northern region will increase taxes by ten times, and pay them regularly every seven days without any mistakes."

As soon as the voice fell, the originally ecstatic northern monks were stunned in place, with an expression of disbelief and confusion on their faces.

Ten times? !

Their annual income is already very little, and now that the northern region is destroyed, rebuilding their homes also requires a certain amount of consumption.

Now they are asked to pay ten times the taxes, and once every seven days!

What's the difference between this and asking for their lives?

They felt extremely bitter, but dared not speak it out, let alone refute.

They managed to save a small life, but if they dare to question it now, wouldn't they be seeking death?

“I will obey His Majesty’s will!!”

After a brief silence, everyone shouted in unison, the sound shaking the sky.

Jiang Luoshen looked down, his eyes moist, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. A big stone finally fell to the ground.

Although he was severely punished, he finally saved his life and the foundation of the Northern Territory.

At this time,

But Qin Mu suddenly smiled inexplicably, and said with a hint of joking:

"You must be very concerned about someone's safety now. I will fulfill your wish and bring her here today."

"Who is it?" The northern monks were startled and a little confused.

Jiang Luoshen was slightly startled. The moment she heard these words, her heart skipped a beat and she felt cold all over.

It's over...

Sure enough, the next moment, Qin Mu waved his right hand lightly and said calmly: "Come out, don't you want to take a look at them? I have given you this opportunity."

Jiang Luoshen's eyes trembled, his cheeks turned extremely red, his lips pressed tightly together, and his delicate body became weak.

Qin Mu obviously meant this to her.

A strong sense of shame instantly hit his body, making Jiang Luoshen almost suffocate.

She really wanted to meet these people.

but.......

But now she...

Jiang Luoshen held the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, bit her pink thin lips with her teeth, and looked at Qin Mu with watery eyes.

Qin Mu turned around, walked to her side, smiled softly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Don't worry, no one will see it."

Jiang Luoshen's pretty face turned red. After hesitating for a moment, she finally moved her lotus steps slightly, taking a slightly weird step, and slowly walked out of Longhu...
