Chapter 19-Completely Heartless Thing, This King Will Make You Regret Being a Human!
It was already late at night.
After Li Ke finished listening to the reports of these officials, he finally let them leave.
Then, the officials hurriedly left as if they had been pardoned.
After they left, there were only two people left in the side hall.
One was Li Ke, and the other was Li Ke's trusted aide, He Chenglin.
"Chenglin, have you ever heard of a breathing tax in this world? Did Member Yang really think that he was a god? He actually dared to collect taxes on a person's breath?”
When He Chenglin heard this, he only cupped his fists and said,"Human greed is never enough. For a member of the Yang Family who has lost his control, if it wasn't for the fact that killing these people would cause trouble, he would definitely have robbed them openly.”
"Ha, you can still see clearly!"
Li Ke rubbed his temples. This day really made him very tired.
Now that he saw the mess that these parasites had left for him, Li Ke couldn't help but have a headache.
It wasn't easy to develop Yizhou. However, it was a good thing that he had complete control over Yizhou. As long as there were no accidents, he was confident that Yizhou would undergo earth-shaking changes within a year.
"By the way, I asked you to find out who are the wise people in Yizhou during the day. Did you find out?”Li Ke suddenly asked.
He Chenglin nodded and said," I asked my brothers to ask around in various teahouses and taverns. I really did find out some information. Although Member Yang has made the officialdom of Yizhou a mess, there are still some clean and honest people."”
"However, because they didn't like Member Yang, they were either placed in places where they had no power or benefits, or they were directly ostracized until they had no choice but to resign.”
"More than twenty people?"
Li Ke thought for a moment and said," It's enough for more than 20 people to fill in the gaps. In fact, Yizhou is not that big. There are so many officials now. They are completely useless. Many of them came in because they bribed Member Yang. These people's positions can be removed.”
"In this case, more than 20 people can barely satisfy the daily management. As for the other positions and talents, I have my own ways to recruit the most suitable talents after the Yizhou officialdom is completely stabilized!”
Li Ke was originally having a headache over what to do with so many empty seats. He did not expect He Chenglin to be so helpful and directly find these 20 people for him.
" Cheng Lin, pass down the order to reinstate these 20 people…No, let them see me first. I need to personally see if they are capable before reappointing them!" he said directly.”
"Tomorrow night, let them come to see me.”
When He Chenglin heard this, he quickly cupped his fists and said,"Yes…this subordinate will send someone to inform them.”
Soon, He Chenglin strode away.
Li Ke, on the other hand, had his hands behind his back. He lowered his head and looked at the taxes written by Qian Buliang. His lips curled into a cold smile.
"Breathing tax, walking tax, eating tax, rain tax, even when you open your eyes to look at people, you have to pay a sight tax…Member Yang, you really have opened this king's eyes!”
"Is there a total of 108 taxes?”
Li Ke narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed in his eyes."Then, I'll let you, this heartless thing, regret the taxes you've set up!”

The night was over and the sky was bright.
Soon, the next day arrived.
This morning, many commoners had just woken up, eaten breakfast, and were about to go out to work when they suddenly saw soldiers riding past the door.
Furthermore, these prefecture soldiers were shouting something loudly as they passed by.
Listening carefully, one could hear the soldiers shouting,""Under His Highness 'orders, at three in the morning, at Caishikou, member Yang's crimes will be publicly announced and executed!”
"At three in the morning, Member Yang will publicly execute him!”
The soldiers 'voices gradually faded away, but the citizens in the city were stunned at first. When they reacted, they erupted into loud cheers.
"What?"
"Member Yang is going to execute him publicly?"
"Four in the morning? Doesn't that mean we're almost there!"
"Quick, go and see what's going on!”
"If member Yang can really die, then the heavens have really opened their eyes!”
"The heavens have eyes. This vampire is finally going to die!”
Countless commoners rushed out of their homes in an instant. Then, they saw that the streets were filled with commoners rushing to the market entrance.
They did not hesitate at all and hurriedly followed him.
When they arrived at Caishikou, they saw that it was already crowded with people.
Countless commoners had already gathered here.
At the entrance of the market, the vampire member Yang was kneeling there, his entire body tied up.
When they saw Member Yang, many of the commoners 'eyes turned red.
The anger in his eyes was almost tangible.
The next moment, many commoners threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at member Yang.
As he threw it, he cursed.
"You dog thief, you have such a day!”
"Just because we had some money in our business, you framed us and stole all our money. You caused my old mother to die because she didn't have the money to treat her illness.”
"My daughter was killed by you, you dog thief. Why aren't you dead yet?”
"Wouldn't it be too easy for him to die? He should be cut into pieces!”
"That's right, this dog thief. It's too good for him to die!”
The commoners were agitated. If it wasn't for the prefectural soldiers stopping them, Member Yang would definitely have been beaten to death by these commoners.
Li Ke sat on the chair and looked at this scene calmly. He did not stop it.
He knew that the nightmare that Yang Ling had given the people of Yizhou was too terrifying. If he wanted the people to completely break through the original nightmare and see the hope in front of them, he had to completely vent the frustration in his heart.
Therefore, even though it had already been two hours, he was not in a hurry.
Just like that, he waited quietly.
Li Ke waited for the voices of the people to gradually weaken before he stood up under the gaze of everyone.
He slowly walked in front of Member Yang and saw that he was in a very poor state. His body was covered in vegetable leaves and rotten eggs thrown by the commoners, and his face was filled with fear and anger.
"You…What are you trying to do? Today, I have fallen into your hands. If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why did you let these lowly people insult me?”
Looking up at the calm Li Ke, Member Yang gritted his teeth and said.
