At the foot of Huishan Mountain.

"Fire!"

Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, Yang Xin said very dryly.

Salazar set up the cannon as fast as he could, and then aimed it at the top of the crowd in front of him, and by this time many people were already looking back at them, and in the midst of these stunned eyes, the de facto white slave simply put the arquebus into the ignition hole......

"Boom!"

The thunderbolt of cannon on a sunny day suddenly rang out.

In the petrified gaze of the opposite side, flames and smoke erupted.

A cannonball whizzed through the sky.

The crowd of people who were fighting below stopped one after another, looking at the top of their heads in amazement, watching the invisible cannonballs whizz by, and disappeared into the dense forest of Huishan in an instant.

Then everyone turned back......

"Reload!"

Yang Xin said.

Salazar quickly reloaded.

"Get out of the way for me, I'll count three times, and I can't see the swinging army inside, and this cannonball will hit you among you!"

Yang Xin shouted with a trumpet.

The crowd in front parted in horror as fast as they could.

In the blink of an eye, the heavily surrounded Dangkou army inside was revealed, they were still forming a dense circle formation with a spear forest, protecting more than a dozen tenants inside, and even a few women and children, and obvious blood stains could be seen on the outside of the spear array, and there were three dead or seriously injured bodies lying there. As for the soldiers, most of them could see that they had been stoned or something, but fortunately the full armor provided them with perfect protection, and their opponents did not dare to use real weapons......

Yang Xin's style was well known, and the gentry knew very well that they could not use weapons.

Those young and strong domestic slaves are long bamboo poles, stones, or slingshots, the use of these is the level of civil fighting, but the use of swords, bows and arrows to attack the official army is a rebellion.

The Dangkou army is also an official army.

And it is also an official army directly under the emperor.

Especially in the case that Yang Xin has just killed a champion, those gentry will not be stupid enough to give him a reason to do it, and the simple people are indignant to surround it, this is not a big deal, although according to the law, this will definitely not work, but in fact, it often happens everywhere in the Ming Dynasty at this time. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the power of the gentry was almost at its peak, the local gentry instigated the common people to surround the officials and run outside the yamen to demonstrate, which was really taken for granted by them.

I often do demonstrations outside the emperor's house!

In the 31st year of Wanli, coal miners in Xishan, Beijing, processing and transportation workers, and even some large coal users walked outside the Chengtian Gate.

The gentry did not consider it a crime at all.

"Come out!"

Yang Xin shouted.

The army inside immediately escorted the tenants out.

None of the young men and house slaves on either side dared to move, and even some began to run away quietly.

Soon, the Dangkou army withdrew to Yang Xin's side.

"Whose land does this land belong to?"

Yang Xin asked the tenant.

"Master, that's really the Ye family, the little ones have paid rent to their family for generations, how can the little one not even know who the landlord is, this piece belongs to his family, the land of the An family is separated by that river, and the little ones don't know how they say that they are theirs, and everyone here knows it, but they all talk nonsense with their eyes open!"

The latter knelt down and cried.

The other dozen tenants and their families all fell to their knees and cried in an instant.

"The people of the settled family come out!"

Yang Xin shouted.

A butler-like trembling stepped forward.

"Title Deed!"

Yang Xin said.

"Back to Yang Yanshi, these lands were given to our master by the Ye family last year, as evidenced by Ye Maocai's son's handwritten letter."

The butler said.

"So there's no title deed?"

Yang Xin said.

"Yes, there is a contract!"

Not far away, a green worm hurried to say.

Yang Xin looked at him unexpectedly, and the latter arrived quickly, and then handed over a contract, and Yang Xin took it and looked at the contents.

"White deeds?"

He looked up and said.

"Back to Yang Yanshi, the student will pay the deed tax."

The latter hurriedly said with a smile on his face.

The next moment, Yang Xin slapped the white deed on his face......

"Madam, I'm afraid this ghost thing won't be written for more than two hours, and the ink hasn't dried yet, so you dare to use it to fool me? The signature on this is Ye Maocai, you dug him up from the grave and asked him to write it? Also, do you think I don't know Ye Maocai's handwriting? They have a bunch of his words! Isn't it shameless that you don't even let go of the dead? ”

He said angrily.

He really knew Ye Maocai's handwriting.

This contract was obviously forged in a hurry, although the signature was indeed copied from Ye Maocai's handwriting, but anyone who really understood this could see that it was forged.

In other words, Yang Xin himself is not like he has never done this.

The Ye family must have entrusted this piece of land to the An family before escaping, and once the Donglin Party wins, Ye Maocai will definitely be rehabilitated in the end, and they will come back at that time, and as heroes among the gentry, the An family will definitely be willing to show loyalty to them again when everyone knows it. Of course, if the Ye family never comes back, this land will definitely become an family, anyway, the emperor and the tenants can't be cheapened, and the gentry can be cheap to each other, but they definitely can't be cheap to others.

"It's, really, really, it's just a tide!"

The green worm struggled to its feet from the ground and shouted.

"Which one is your patriarch?"

Yang Xin asked the tenant.

The latter immediately pointed to an old fellow in the crowd.

"Come out!"

Yang Xin shouted.

The latter came out tremblingly.

"I'll give you a chance to tell the truth.

Someone died here today, then the culprit must die, either you die or he dies.

This land is indeed the hidden field of the Ye family, there is no record in the government, and it is impossible for me to find out, but you seem to have forgotten one thing, the land of the An family is recorded in the government, if this land is not in the name of the An family, then it does not belong to the An family.

Regardless of whether it previously belonged to the Ye family or not, whether the Ye family gave it to the An family or not.

There is no record from the government.

Then it doesn't belong to Anjia.

In essence, it is still equivalent to an uncultivated wasteland, and its owner is the emperor.

I'm not here to check on your hidden fields, but you have provoked this stubble yourself, so today I can clearly tell you, including you tenants, as long as those hidden fields are not recorded in the government, none of them belong to those landlords, and those are still the emperor's land. If any of you cultivate a field that you think the landlord is hiding from it, then you can come to me and report it, and after the report is the same as theirs, the maximum rent is forty percent, and all taxes are exempted.

Now let me ask you again, whose land does it really belong to? ”

Yang Xin said.

"Yang Yanshi, it was the An family who gave me a hundred taels of silver, and asked me to bring my clansmen to testify, it's none of my business, these young men and house slaves are also from his family, and they have nothing to do with me!"

The patriarch immediately knelt down and shouted.

"Give them a hundred taels for each of their five families, and I won't care about this matter."

Yang Xin said.

The patriarch hastened to get up and told the slave to fetch the money.

"As for you......"

Yang Xin looked at that Xiucai.

"It's just a forgery, it's not a capital crime!"

The latter regained his confidence and said with a look of disdain.

"What about the dead?"

Yang Xin said.

"I didn't kill that!"

The green worm still didn't care.

"You didn't instruct it?"

Yang Xin said.

"Did I order you?"

The latter shouted at the young men.

The latter hurriedly shook their heads, these are tenants, serfs, and hired laborers who have settled down, who dares to say yes? When he died, his family would not be able to spare these people, and as long as they were not allowed to rent any more seeds, or increase the land rent, the family would starve.

"Look, they all said no!"

The green worm said proudly.

"Come!"

Yang Xin said as he put his arm around his shoulder.

The green worm looked at him suspiciously, and then followed him under Yang Xin's half-drag, and quickly walked in front of the cannon, and continued to move forward directly in front of the cannon......

"What do you want to do? Let go of me, I'm a student, I'm a student! ”

The green worm struggled like crazy, screaming in horror, and then watched Yang Xin take the ignition rod from Salazar's hand, and blow the fire rope in front of him, he struggled even harder, but no matter how he struggled, he could never get rid of Yang Xin, and he could never leave the cannon that was almost on his stomach......

"I like to talk about the law, but you seem to forget, I am a vicious brocade guard, I like to talk about the law and I don't mean that I have to talk about the law, I said, there are people dead here today, then someone must pay for it, it is obvious that only you should pay the price for this, rest assured, it is very painful to kill people with three pounds of heavy shells, just pay attention in the next life."

Yang Xin said.

"Ahh

The green worm screamed wildly.

Then he watched as Yang Xin put the arquebus into the ignition hole......

"Boom!"

The deafening sound of artillery rang out again......

"What are you looking at, bunch of idiots!

I have made it very clear in the city before, isn't the most important thing you should do is not to keep an eye on the landlords and lenders around you, see if they have done any cases of rebellion, rebellion and rebellion, and then come out to report it, so that you can get out of the sea of misery and live a good life from now on?

I have set the good days before you.

But why don't you take it? Why do you still have to work for those who oppress you, whip you, and force you to live like a dog in the mud of poverty for generations? Look at the three dead bodies there, they really died like a dog, I gave them the opportunity to be human beings, they didn't want to, they would rather be dogs, and they would be dead dogs.

If you are willing to be like them, then do as you please.

If you want to be human, then my door is always open, and anyone can go to see me.

As for how I arranged for you in the future, you can ask a few of them, and I have already made it clear to them what to say. ”

Yang Xin stood in a bloody color and shouted.

The tenants and domestic slaves across from him looked at each other......
