The night never to be forgotten .
Walking down the lane Shan was the saddest person in the world , he was thinking about the tax he had to given to the King and that day was the last day to give the tax . At that time taxes were as high as an big business man can barely afford and he was only a farmer .Till this time the Xhangs had managed to keep their heads above water but this year they had an new member in the name of Sam their 1year old son and he knew they had two choices either live or give the tax .Suddenly he got an idea "The Kings officials will need at least three days to reach here and in that time I can leave the country" he suddenly changed from being sad to his usual happy go lucky attitude , but he didn't knew danger was prowling on his house .
"Good night my sweetheart" said Mrs. Xhang to her son as she kissed him on cheeks . She turned and suddenly a gust of wind flattened her and she found herself staring at a rather young samurai (Soldiers being as fast as ninjas those days)She was in complete rage .
"What are you doing at my house at such an hour of night don't you have manners . "
"Sorry madam but I'm here due to King's orders he told me to collect tax from all those who have not paid it ."
"Are you kidding me , my husband has paid the tax already ." said Mrs. Xhang not knowing that her husband has not paid it .
"Well in that case you can ask your husband ."He goes out and comes back with a gagged and tied Shan who is bruised in many parts . Mrs. Xhang is horrified when she sees her husband . The samurai removes the gag .
"Are you all-right Shan , this bloody samurai says that you haven't paid the tax he's lying right."
The now red faced husband looks down as Mrs. Xhang discovers the truth . " This all joke right , this aren't be possible you all are joking to me trying to scare me I... can't believe you , you all are liars I... " The tear eyed Mrs. Xhang said as broke into a huge fit of cry .
"Now for the money so where's the tax ."But no matter how hard Shan tried he couldn't give half the tax money .
"In that case I quite admit I'm following the King's orders , sorry but I can't help orders are orders ." The samurai said as the glisten of his sword filled the room and in a flash all was over he replaced his bloody sword into the scabbard .
The floor was red with blood and there lay on it the now dead bodies of the parents of the boy revolution .
