Heaven only seeks democracy at the right time, but it is a great descent to become a soup.

Democracy, the original meaning, is the meaning of the king who does not come out of power.

The so-called sovereignty and human rights are naturally the masters of whoever has the biggest fist, and the poor will put aside the controversy, and the one who has reached it has been since ancient times.

Li Xiangqian said softly: "Brother Yan, you have also seen that the people in the city don't want me to go in, but it is so hard, I can only make a move, this time, there are many people who will die." ”

Yan Yingyuan arched his hand and hurriedly said, "Don't be like this, my lord, I will have a good talk with the county commander." ”

"You see, there are dozens of us, and we have no other plans, if your county order doesn't agree, I have to bring more people, in fact, it is very simple to break this city wall, your city building technology still needs to improve, wait until next year to let you see what is called reinforced concrete!"

Yan Yingyuan received the order and hurriedly ran back to the gate of the city, put down a hanging basket on it, and picked him up.

How to communicate with the county order, it is not enough for outsiders to think, Li Xiangqian is under the city, but there is no much trouble, this Jiangyin itself is the meaning of the yin of the Yangtze River, and it is also a place of trade, according to the practice of this era, there are a lot of shops outside the city gate, sometimes outside the city, you can gather a commercial port, it is not simple.

Naturally, there are masters who can't escape in time, or who give up their lives and money, and they can't run at this time, but Li Xiangqian is unconcerned, and after a few glances, he found that there were people in a restaurant on the side of the road, so he asked people to go over and call the door.

The boss originally didn't dare to open the door, the threshold of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness is extremely low these days, and he is already a very good person if he doesn't kill people, but Li Xiangqian threw money directly into the window without a door panel.

We don't know if money can be channeled, but the shopkeeper is also soft-handed and soft-footed, even if he is robbed, he is willing and has no regrets.

When I opened the door, I was naturally flattered in every way, and Li Xiangqian didn't care, although this small shop was not big, it was still clean, and the most important thing was that it was next to the Yangtze River, and there was no shortage of fishing goods, so I exercised my skills in making fish.

Forty or fifty people filled the shop, but fortunately, they didn't have to care about the human rights of the Cao family, and directly let them squeeze into the hottest and most inside, the family was really neat, but I was afraid that there were not many people who liked this kind of neatness.

It was also close to noon at this time, Li Xiangqian was not hypocritical, and quickly asked the store to stir-fry a few side dishes, and brought the fish that had already been stewed.

Although you can't drink, but this meal is quite happy, mainly compared to the outside, there is a group of people from the Cao family outside the door, they want to come in but don't dare, but they can eat and drink down, naturally it is cool.

The people of the Cao family fully demonstrated the limitations of the small-scale peasant mentality, allowing them to fight with the people of other villages for water and fertile land, or a cow or a pretty daughter-in-law, they may all be brave and fearless, but let them confront the official people, it is a bit timid.

After eating almost, Li Xiangqian remembered that today's real protagonist, Cao Juren's family had not eaten yet, but they were arrested in the middle of the night, and they were by no means a physically fit man, and they had walked at least dozens of miles, although they were tied to the carriage, but this may be even more painful, and now it can be said that they are already very weak.

"Boss, give each of these people a bowl of porridge, oh, or anything, fish soup and the like, you don't have to eat it with your hands."

Because the lock sleeve was prepared before, and the hands of the Cao family were handcuffed, it was really difficult for these scholars who were powerless to resist, they were crowded at a table, and of course the best seats were reserved for Cao Juren.

Untied the rope that strangled the mouth, and a bowl of rice porridge with fish and meat was placed in front of everyone, and the shopkeeper was also afraid, this is the famous Cao Juren in Jiangyin, in case of offending, people let the family smash their own shop in minutes.

But if you don't open the door, you will offend these wolf-like soldiers.

That Cao Juren was already dizzy at this time, he was almost 60 years old, and he didn't have any common sense of health preservation, he was tossed all night at this time, and his spirit was sluggish, but he was propped up, and said: "You are really rude, I am the lifter of the Apocalypse Dynasty......"

Li pointed forward and said, "If you talk more, you'll be useless." ”

Cao Juren chattered and said: "You kidnapped the votes and waited for me, but you threw yourself into the net and ran to the county seat to ......"

"Ahh

A junior beside Cao Juren ate the butt of a rifle and screamed there, and then the other Cao family members were dissatisfied: "You dare to beat people, my brother is a ......."

"It's the other way around!"

"Don't ...... the King"

"Who will continue to fight again, don't you see that I like to be quiet when I eat?"

The butt of the gun is indeed more powerful than the words, and a few scholars were originally holding back the fire, and most of them were disheveled, so they were brought out, hungry and tired, and they were angry.

It's just outside the store, but it's the men in their clan, as long as they all rush over, they will definitely be able to save themselves.

Whoever dared to speak out was beaten up, and the situation was much better, but Li Xiangqian turned a blind eye, but called the shopkeeper over and said: "This West Lake vinegar fish is really not bad, if you go to the north to open a restaurant, it will definitely be able to shock those guys with heavy oil and salt." ”

"Thank you, Master Jun, it's just ......" The shopkeeper looked at Cao Juren cautiously, they didn't dare to look up again now, and curled up there.

He is a local businessman, how dare he offend this powerful local force? In fact, if he wants to continue his business, he has to make offerings to these gentlemen frequently.

Li Xiangqian seemed to see something, and said: "You don't have to care about this family, they committed a murder case, and after the lawsuit, there are not a few people who are sentenced to death, just dead tigers." ”

Cao Juren was anxious when he heard this, and said: "I am a lifter, who dares to judge me!" ”

"Hit."

There was another headless and brainless beating, Li Xiangqian looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Don't be afraid, we are very civilized, for this kind of murderer, I still mean very good, you should be beaten, don't be afraid, how much money should I give you?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Li Xiangqian said: "Don't be afraid, you know, the soldiers under my command, on the first day of enlistment, began to learn the three disciplines and eight points of attention, and it is necessary to give money for meals." ”

"These people, I have evidence, they run rampant in the township on weekdays, relying on their own identities to steal, this is a matter in your county, but the person who killed me is not a trivial matter."

At this time, a person suddenly ran in from outside, it was Yan Yingyuan, who was originally blocked outside, and asked to see him for a while before he was invited in.

"This adult, the parents of this county, Lin County, are invited."

Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "Okay, all go to the city, as for you, if you don't want to eat, wait until you go to the prison in the city to eat." ”

Yan Yingyuan said: "The county order said that only one adult is invited to enter the city. ”

"Clams?"

Yan Yingyuan said: "Also, at the same time, please let Cao Juren's family go to show sincerity." ”

"Clams? Clams! ”

"Also, the local area has always been peaceful, and it is really unfriendly for you to bring so many weapons into the country, please hand us over your weapons."

"Clams!"

Li pushed forward the things in his hand and said, "I don't read much, don't lie to me, is this what your county order said, or which fool said it?" ”

Yan Yingyuan was a little embarrassed and said: "The county magistrate of this county is still young, and insists that only in this way can the peace of the party be guaranteed. ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "Then I entered the city unarmed and was killed, what is it, I have the impression that the people I sent to Jiangnan were also made clear by this family, claiming to go to the county seat, so they didn't resist, and killed all the people directly, you still have to do this to me?" ”

Yan Yingyuan was also embarrassed and said, "Xu has some misunderstanding." ”

Li Xiangqian also said: "Then let's hand over the gun to you, if you turn your face and kill me, what will I do." ”

Yan Yingyuan said: "You are a distinguished guest, we can't invite you, how can it be." ”

"In this way, you go back, let your county magistrate be at the head of the city, swear to the people, we will not play the trick of trapping and then killing for us, and we will give you the gun."

Yan Yingyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this really the case?" ”

Li Xiangqian said: "I mean what I say. ”

That's right, I'll give you a gun, but I won't give you anything worse than a gun.

Yan Yingyuan said: "Then I'll go back and talk about it, then can you release Cao Juren first." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "He is a suspect suspected of killing my subordinates, what should I do if he runs away." ”

Yan Yingyuan said: "The local scholars in the hometown are afraid that they will not be able to run. ”

Li Xiangqian said: "Ha, here is a problem, my Ming scholar, every day Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, but benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith are almost the same, at least a letter word is not counted, well, by the way, with the country's credit, trap those pirates, bandits or something, and then kill them directly, not only will not be scolded, but it is a self-proclaimed wise and martial strategy, you say, even Wang Zhi was killed, and there are still others who trust you." ”

Yan Yingyuan is submissive, he was originally a resolute person, but now he is caught between the two sides, and he is in a dilemma, but it is also difficult.

Li Xiangqian said: "You also know the guy in our hands, although there are many people outside, but they are really not our opponents, if there is a real conflict, it is a lot of dead people, and a lot of people have died, so it should be more harmonious, or more harmonious." ”

Yan Yingyuan looked at those rifles, as a classic history of the big county next to the Yangtze River, he had heard about the strength of the firearms used by many northerners, not to mention anything else, so dozens of firearms were deployed, and Jiangyin County really didn't have such a big force to fight.

Not to mention that there is a whole regime behind the people, not to mention the army of the imperial capital, Mrs. Xing's army is wandering around Jiangbei.

Yan Yingyuan returned to the city and continued to persuade the county order, but those Cao family's clansmen gathered more and more, if Li Xiangqian brought thousands or even hundreds of people, there may not be any list, it just so happened that he brought 30 people, although under their calculations, as long as these 30 people are not brain-dead enough to put themselves into death, they can almost run rampant in Jiangnan, but people don't know.

"Lao Cao, this may be your last hot meal, oh, is it the last meal except for the severed head meal, eat as fast as you can."

Cao Juren didn't dare to shout anymore, so he could only stare angrily.

However, there are young offspring, who have a fast metabolism, and at this time they bend over and start drinking porridge, and one of them takes the lead, and the others also start one after another.

When they had almost drunk, some people relieved themselves and knew what was happening, so a young man from the Cao family shouted, "You let us go, and I will give you money." ”

"Call me!"

Li Xiangqian said: "When you're full, plug your mouth, well, it seems that I'm still too soft-hearted, isn't it?" ”

After a while, after establishing the rule that everyone is beaten together who speaks, the people of the Cao family are very honest, and they are mostly dissatisfied with those who try to resist.

It's like that experiment.

Put five monkeys in a cage, there is a bunch of bananas on it, the experimenters installed an automatic device, once they detect that a monkey is going to get a banana, immediately there will be water sprayed into the cage, and these five monkeys will be wet, first one monkey wants to get the banana, of course, the result is that each monkey is wet, and then each monkey after several attempts, found that it is all the same.

So the monkeys came to a consensus: don't go to get the banana to avoid being sprayed with water.

These people of the Cao family are like monkeys, are they very smart, smart, according to the standards of this era, an era in which people can be local low-level cadres, and they are much more powerful than the top students in the college entrance examination and the top students in the public examination, that is, the national examination can be compared.

As vested interests, they can support themselves with a lot of rich money and food, and receive some so-called education, but correspondingly, they will push this power back and use it to bind the core of the country, and the manpower is completely tied to the land.

Li Xiangqian recruited many people in the imperial capital, and there were also many people who were from the south of the Yangtze River who were willing to go south and carry out some propaganda that was beneficial to the imperial capital.

But what I didn't expect was that when I arrived in Jiangyin, I was killed by this Cao Juren, and I was charged with a crime, and I bewitched the public.

Moreover, I am afraid that the people outside will do it.

"It's like eating human blood steamed buns, obviously trying to save you, but being killed by you."

Li Xiangqian also smiled bitterly, of course he understood that the exemption from agricultural taxes may be a good thing for most people, but for a small number of people, it is a catastrophe.

For a very simple example, according to the information, before this Cao Juren was admitted to the exam, he couldn't eat, but once he passed the exam, he soared, and at least he could live a very nourishing life.

He took the tribute exam several times, but naturally he didn't get into the jinshi, so he gave up and returned to his hometown to become a squire and enjoy it.

Come to think of it, most of this person's wealth naturally depends on the contributions of ignorant people and the use of his identity to take advantage of it.

What if, as soon as someone announces the exemption from agricultural taxes, what will happen?

This Cao Juren will go bankrupt immediately.
