Chapter 78: The Law

On the first day of September, the People's Army officially raised its flag in the mountains.

On the 10th day of September, the People's Army successfully captured Yong'an County and Haifeng County in two ways.

On September 11, Hu Zhuang Yiyi People's Army successfully captured Haifeng Qianhusuo, and before nightfall that day, Zhou Yiyi's People's Army was not far from Jiesheng Qianhusuo, and the battle would soon break out.

After a day and a half of hard work by the People's Army, two-thirds of the large households in Haifeng County have been raided, contributing a lot of wealth and materials to the People's Army to support the development of the People's Army.

After a day and a half of hard work, most of the ordinary people in Haifeng County have temporarily accepted the fact that the People's Army dominates Haifeng County, and some ordinary people have recognized the People's Army, especially when they know that many large households in the county have been raided by the People's Army, so that more ordinary people can recognize the People's Army.

In the eyes of the common people, the People's Army is a very different army than the Ming Army, the People's Army will pay for food and food from the people, there will be no shortage, and it is also polite to the people when it comes to speaking.

"The People's Army is really a good person, but it's a pity that the Ming Army is too strong, even if the People's Army can take the county seat, there will soon be many Ming troops coming to encircle and suppress." Some knowledgeable ordinary people sighed very much at the appearance of the People's Army, and they did not think that the People's Army could hold the county seat of Haifeng.

In the past day and a half, the large families that the KPA had not come into contact with had spent their lives in fear, unable to eat or sleep, for fear that the vicious "thieves" would break open the doors of their houses and kill them all.

Xu Mansion is such a big family, Xu Xinzhi, the head of the Xu family, "watched" that the big families around Xu Mansion were raided by the People's Army one after another, even if he pretended to be calm in front of his family, he was extremely scared in his heart.

The head of the Xu family didn't believe that other big families wouldn't think of a way to exchange wealth for the life of a family, but so many big families had already been raided, and the head of the Xu family felt that he was waiting for death to come.

When a new day comes, after a few bites of breakfast, the head of the Xu family sits on the main seat of the main hall, and continues to wait for death to come, originally his wife and concubines and children all wanted to come over to accompany the head of the Xu family, but they were all driven out by the head of the Xu family, and the head of the Xu family did not want to see the sad and afraid expressions he unexpectedly revealed.

It didn't take long for the butler, who had been near the gate most of the time to wait for the arrival of the People's Army, to rush back.

"Master, master, the thief is here."

Hearing this, Xu Xinzhi's mind was shocked, and he pressed his hands against the chair to stand up, and then asked the panting housekeeper, "Did they rush in?" ”

"No, the thief spoke very politely, saying that he had something important to visit the master, and he was still waiting outside the gate." The butler replied.

What's the situation? Xu Xinzhi was a little confused, shouldn't the thief come to raid the house? How will you visit politely.

Xu Xinzhi didn't understand it, so he didn't think about it anymore, just look at the thieves who gradually came to visit, everyone in the Xu Mansion was trapped in Haifeng County, everyone's lives were held in the hands of the thieves, and the thieves' hands were gently pinched, and the Xu Mansion was gone.

Trying to suppress the fear and fear in his heart, Xu Xinzhi tried his best to restore himself to the momentum of being the head of the family in the past, and strode towards the gate of the mansion.

When he walked to the gate of the mansion, Xu Xinzhi immediately said to the guards: "Go and open the gate." ”

Several guards had been trembling and didn't want to open the door, thinking that death would not be far away after opening the door, but they couldn't help but listen to their master's words, so they had to step forward and slowly open the door.

The door opened, and there were only seven people outside the gate, one was a young man of about twenty years old, who looked very ordinary, wearing blue clothes, and the material of the clothes was very ordinary, but the style of this clothes Xu Xinzhi had never seen before, but this one was worn by people, giving people a very spiritual feeling, and the other six were soldiers holding spears and wearing shabby clothes.

"How many thieves? Salute before soldiers? Xu Xinzhi was still confused, but in order to save the family's life, Xu Xinzhi personally came to the door to greet the thief.

"Little brother, my surname, I am Xu Xinzhi, the master of this Xu Mansion, but you are here to find me?" Xu Xinzhi walked up to Deng Qing and asked.

The master of the Xu Mansion came out to greet him in person, Deng Qing didn't feel much, and said according to the normal external words: "Hello the master of the Xu family, my name is Deng Qing, and I am an ordinary official of the Haifeng County People's Military Government, and I accepted the order of the county magistrate to come to the Xu Mansion to do business. ”

There are a lot of words in Deng Qing's sentence that Xu Xinzhi feels unfamiliar, and it is also this sentence that makes Xu Xinzhi's heart feel a little relieved, it seems that this thief has no idea of raiding Xu's house, but he doesn't know what to do in Xu's house.

"Little brother Deng Qing, please, there is something to say." Xu Xinzhi stretched out his hand to invite.

Facing Xu Xinzhi's invitation, Deng Qing nodded, got up and walked towards Xu's mansion, and the six People's Army soldiers who protected Deng Qing followed Deng Qing to act together, although Haifeng County has now been controlled by the People's Army, but it is impossible to determine how many rebels are still hidden everywhere, and they can't act alone.

Walking into the Xu Mansion and entering the main hall, six People's Army soldiers stayed outside the main hall, Deng Qing himself entered the main hall to talk to Xu Xinzhi, and the two sat down face to face.

"Master Xu, our People's Army is not a chaotic bandit, it is a regular army, Haifeng County has been ruled by the People's Army, Xu Mansion has been disturbed in the past day or so, I am very sorry on behalf of the Haifeng County People's Army, that is the People's Army is investigating and doing many evils.

The people who were confiscated were not only big families like Xu Fu, but also local ruffians/hooligans from small households, and our People's Army did not expect that there would be such chaos under the rule of Haifeng County, and the head of the Xu family should rest assured that the People's Army did not find out that the people of Xu Mansion had committed evil deeds, and they would not attack Xu Fu.

This time I came to Xufu because the law of the People's Army will be implemented in the Haifeng County area, and the head of the Xu family has a large amount of farmland under his name, according to the law of the People's Army, the amount of farmland owned by each person will be limited, and the extra farmland will be purchased by the People's Army Government and distributed to the landless people. Deng Qing said slowly about his intention to come this time.

Listening to Deng Qing's words, Xu Xinzhi didn't change much on the surface, but he was already sneering in his heart, no matter how good Deng Qing said, in Xu Xinzhi's opinion, the People's Army was still a thief, and he wanted to take away the farmland of Xu's mansion, Xu Xinzhi didn't believe that the People's Army would really spend money to buy farmland.

However, when Deng Qing finished speaking, Xu Xinzhi directly agreed, willing to accept the laws of the People's Army, Xu Xinzhi was very worried that once he did not accept, then Xu's house would be raided, and the farmland was now taken away by the People's Army, and soon the People's Army would be surrounded and suppressed by the Ming Army, and the farmland would still be in his own hands at that time.
