Chapter 426: Merit

The old man, who was whipping the old man with a leather whip, trembled with fright, and the leather whip in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The onlookers were like the sea at low tide, and they all dispersed with a bang, and ran to their homes. In the end, only the Wang family's family was left in the market. More than 100 family members stood by Wang Mingquan's side, their faces pale, but they didn't dare to leave Master Wang and run for their lives alone.

Wang Mingquan was also very scared, he had heard about Xingguobo's soldiers attacking Jinan and killing the governor. But this time, newspapers were burned everywhere in Shandong, and I didn't hear that Li Zhi had killed people. It was precisely because of Li Zhi's silence some time ago that Wang Mingquan became bold and dared to tie up Li Zhi's soldiers. Wang Mingquan guessed why Li Zhi couldn't confront the entire Shandong Shilin.

Perhaps, Li Zhi's power is limited to controlling a few cities, and he can't reach the countryside? Controlling a city is simple, and a few thousand people can take the city and go on a killing spree. But how many people are needed to control the vast countryside?

Wang Mingquan wants to fight with Li Zhi, because this fight is his lifeline. If Li Zhi's forces gradually penetrated deep into Shandong and collected taxes from the gentry in Shandong, Wang Ming's large industry might fall apart. If Wang Mingquan, like the gentry in Tianjin, only collected a land rent slightly higher than the land endowment, what would he use to support his servants, accounts, families, and wives and concubines? Wang Mingquan's sons have a group of wives and concubines, if the small people who donated the land are gone, how will Wang Mingquan's sons live?

And this Huadian Township has always been Wang Mingquan's words, for decades. Wang Mingquan is really not used to the appearance of a voice in Huadian Township that is contrary to himself.

Wang Mingquan has a hundred reasons to fight with Li Zhi. But he didn't expect Li Zhi's reaction to be so fast.

Fifty horses carrying fifty Tiger Warrior soldiers, dressed in full-body steel armor, rushed towards the bazaar in Huadian Township with great vigour. The crowd in the market dispersed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a hundred families around Wang Mingquan. A hundred family members surrounded the old man of the Wang family, because they were afraid to keep retreating back.

But they eat the food of the family, and because of their vital interests, they are unwilling to put down the knives and sticks in their hands.

Wang Mingquan's face was pale, but he was calm. He pondered that with so many people protecting him, Li Zhi's soldiers wouldn't dare to kill all of his own hundred soldiers, right?

The owner of the tea shop, who was tied to the flagpole, looked at the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division in surprise, and his face was flushed with excitement. Sure enough, it was right to read the newspaper yourself. Since Xing Guobo decided to run a newspaper in Shandong, he had the means to protect the newspaper. The head of the Wang family thought that he could run rampant in Huadian Township with a hundred families, but in fact he was a moth to the fire.

The family who broke out of the siege rode on the horse and pointed to his hand and said, "Platoon commander, it is this group of Wang family members who want to kill us." ”

The platoon commander waved his hand and said, "Kill all those who resist with weapons, and don't let go of any of them!" ”

Fifty soldiers roared, drew their sabers on their backs, and rushed towards the hundreds. The horse's hooves struck the ground, making the floor of the bazaar tremble slightly.

A hundred servants looked at the fifty horses rushing towards them, and finally they could not hold back anymore and fled. The horses, which are often six or seven hundred pounds, can knock people to death when they collide with them. A hundred family members grabbed knives and sticks, abandoned the head of the Wang family, and scurried around the market like a herd of panicked elk.

The soldiers of the Tiger Division, but they are not ready to let them go.

The sharp crucible steel saber was pulled out, and the fast horse caught up with the fleeing Wang family. The cavalry infantrymen gently held the steel knife in their hands, and they did not need to use any force in their hands, and they could press the steel knife into the flesh of the fleeing family by relying on the strength of the horse, cutting a fatal wound.

The family who was cut by the steel knife only felt a cold on his body, and a fountain of blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground screaming. They covered their huge wounds and kept rolling on the ground.

The soldiers of the Tiger Warrior on horseback cut down one and chased after the next without hesitation.

These family members were very vicious and had a bit of brute force when they bullied the ordinary people, but in front of the elite Tiger Ben Division soldiers, these hundred family members were like a group of children, and they had no power to fight back.

The panicked family members realized that their lives were gone. Li Zhi's killing god can not only control the city, but also rush to the countryside to kill.

They threw away their swords and clubs and fled forward in desperation.

But where can a man's leg outrun a horse's leg? Screams continued to sound in all corners of the bazaar, and there were fewer and fewer Wang family members still alive. Some of the panicked escapers climbed into the courtyards of the houses near the market, while the soldiers of the Tiger Warrior broke into the door, rushed in, grabbed the fleeing families, and slashed them in the market.

Wang Mingquan stood next to the flagpole of the bazaar, watching more than 100 families being slaughtered like chickens and dogs by the soldiers of the Tiger Division, his face was pale and trembling. The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division seemed to deliberately save Wang Mingquan's life, and wanted Wang Mingquan to see clearly the fate of opposing Xingguobo, and never used a knife against this talented old man.

But Wang Mingquan knew that it would soon be his turn. In Tianjin, Li Zhi acted against the gentry under the pressure of the scholars of the whole country and treated the poor well. In Li Zhi's eyes, the landlord is not worth more than the life of a family. Since Li Zhi killed all his family, he will definitely do it to himself later?

Wang Mingquan's legs were weak, he bent down little by little, and finally knelt on the ground. He turned his head to look at the flagpole and saw the old man Zhang with a red face, and the two Tiger Warriors who looked at him coldly.

Wang Mingquan knelt on the ground and moved over, untying the two Tiger Warriors. He kowtowed desperately on the ground and shouted loudly: "Grandpa Bing spare his life, Wang Mingquan has now seen Xingguobo's Tianwei, and from now on he only dares to have one heart with Xingguobo." Grandpa Private spared my cheap life! It's also a merit! ”

The two soldiers who were loosened breathed a sigh of relief when they loosened their ropes, moved their bodies that were bound by ropes, and said coldly: "You are also the first one who dares to tie up our Tiger Warrior soldiers and say that they will beat us to death." ”

Wang Mingquan was stunned by this sentence, trembling and unable to speak.

The platoon commander on the horse walked over and raised his handcuff to aim at Wang Mingquan on the ground.

Wang Mingquan waved his hand and said, "Don't! Don't kill me! Master Jun, don't kill me! I'll give you all my possessions! ”

The platoon commander sneered and pressed the trigger.

I only heard a clear snap, and the bullet shot into Wang Mingquan's left chest. A bloody arrow came out of Wang Mingquan's chest, Wang Mingquan looked at his body in disbelief, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The rest of the soldiers had finished their killing and were gathering back. The platoon commander who led the team waved his hand and said, "Wang's family raids the house!" The bodies of Wang Mingquan and his family were hung at the gate of the county town to show the public! ”
