(Sorry, sorry, I was dizzy just now!) Sent the wrong chapter! I'm sorry! Make up for it now! ）

Xiao Tianjian and some of his subordinates walked to a small mountain village in the northeast of Lianhua Mountain, and when the people here saw them, they were so frightened that they fled home and closed the door and hid.

Looking at the frightened villagers, Xiao Tianjian shook his head with a wry smile, stopped his subordinates who were about to smash the door, and shouted, "Be honest with me!" Order, from now on, no one shall do anything to disturb the people in the local area, and give me a resignation!" ”

A few of the guards who were about to smash the door and pull out the villagers in the house immediately retreated and stood behind Xiao Tianjian, and Xiao Tianjian walked to the door, coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and patted the knocker on the dilapidated gate, and shouted to the people inside: "The folks inside, please!" Don't be afraid, we are not robbers who kill people and rob money, and we will never harm you! Can you open the door and talk to me? ”

After the people inside heard Xiao Tianjian's call, they were a little surprised, they didn't expect that this group of people with guns and knives did not forcibly break into the door, and they were so polite to discuss with them outside, they were frightened on the one hand, afraid of being harmed by these people, and on the other hand, they were afraid of angering these strongmen, so after hesitating for a long time, they still opened the door latch in fear and walked out tremblingly.

Walking out of the door was a dry and thin old man in his fifties, although he was only in his fifties, but he was also considered to be a long life in this era, and his age seemed to be much older than his actual age, and his body had already been stiffened by years of hard work.

As soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian standing at the door of his house and the people behind him, the old man immediately knelt down for Xiao Tianjian, kowtowed and shouted, "Good man, spare your life!" Our poor family has long been unable to open the pot, and there is really nothing to honor all the good men! Please raise your noble hands and let us go! ”

Xiao Tianjian looked at the courtyard of this old man's house, and glanced at the house again, where does this look like a home! It seems that in this area, the life of the common people is also not easy, on the one hand, they have to be exploited by the government, and on the other hand, they have to be oppressed by the local poles, this day is really unbearable!

"Old man don't be afraid, we are not here to ask you for money and food! You don't have to worry, get up and talk! Xiao Tianjian stretched out his hand to help the old man up, and Wen Yan comforted him.

The old man looked at the tall man in front of him, his face did not show a trace of fierceness, and he spoke politely, not like a villain, so he was more or less relieved, but he still didn't dare to slack off on Xiao Tianjian, so he quickly ran to the house, took out a small stool, and asked Xiao Tianjian to sit down and talk, while he himself stood aside cautiously and waited.

"Don't be nervous, old man, we just passed by here and want to ask the old man about something!" Xiao Tianjian did not shirk, sat on the small bench, and continued to say to the old man with a pleasant face.

The old man looked very nervous, and nodded again and again: "If the good man has something to ask, as long as the old man knows, he will never dare not say it!" ”

From the costumes, the old man also saw that Xiao Tianjian should not be from the government, nor should he look like an official army, so there is only one possibility, that is, these people must also be a group of strongmen, for such people, he would not dare to offend in any way, so now what he hopes most is to send these Yama princes away quickly, don't annoy them, otherwise his whole family may suffer.

Xiao Tianjian turned his head to look at Lotus Mountain, so he asked the old man: "I came here today, just to ask the old man, this Lotus Mountain can go up the mountain except for the mountain gate, but there are other ways to go up the mountain?" ”

After hearing this, the old man was shocked, his eyes became flustered, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no!" There is only one way up the mountain from the front gate of Lotus Mountain, and there is no other way to choose! ”

Xiao Tianjian carefully observed the old man's expression and eyes, and saw that his eyes flickered, obviously he was not telling the truth, and he was still very nervous and afraid, which made Xiao Tianjian even more suspicious that what he said was untrue.

"Oh? Is that really the case? Old man, are you afraid of that Xiao butcher, so you dare not say anything to me? Then let me ask you again, is this Xiao butcher good to you locally? Xiao Tianjian was not angry, and continued to ask the old man with a pleasant face.

As soon as he mentioned this, the old man's face suddenly showed a trace of anger, and he couldn't help but say, "Okay! That's great! ”

"Oh? So don't be afraid, you might as well tell me, how is this Xiao butcher good to the locals? We absolutely promise not to say it! Xiao Tianjian showed an interested look on his face, and then asked the old man.

The old man probably couldn't help it, and replied angrily: "Since the good man wants to know, then the old man will tell the good man today!" People who want to come to our village, originally rented the temple field of this lotus temple for generations, although the life is hard, but it can still be maintained, in the first few years, this Xiao butcher occupied the lotus temple on this lotus mountain, and drove away all the monks here, and those who refused to leave were killed by him, and since then, we people have to listen to the mercy of his Xiao butcher.

Originally, we rented the temple field, only to pay half of the field rent, but since the Xiao butcher occupied here, our days have not been sent down, all year round to do some food, most of them have to be handed over to the Xiao butcher them, a little food left, is not enough for our family to eat, in the past two years, the Xiao butcher has intensified, the village of the young and strong into the gang, the village is left with us old and weak people, but the rent is still not exempt from the half, we are a little disobedient, he will send someone to beat or scold, They have to kill people at every turn, and the girls and daughters-in-law in this village have suffered even more, as long as they let him take a fancy to them, or hear that the girls and daughters-in-law of whose family are more beautiful, they will go down the mountain and force the rope up the mountain for his enjoyment!

The good man doesn't know! Within a radius of thirty miles, I don't know how many people have been forced to die by his Xiao butcher! When it comes to this Xiao butcher, the people in our area dare not be angry, today I am optimistic that Han Ye is a good person, so I dare to talk to the good man about this, otherwise, I will be killed, and I will not dare to talk to you about these things! ”

After hearing this, the subordinates who followed Xiao Tianjian all showed a look of indignation, saying that rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, and when the pole wants to gain a firm foothold in a place, if the local people don't follow them, then this kind of pole is really a bastard to the extreme, and Xiao Butcher treats the local people like this, and it is really strange that the local people have been thriving in the local area for a few years!

"This Xiao butcher is really damned!" Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but say angrily.

"Who's to say it isn't! But the government of Yangcheng County, there is no way to take him Xiao Butcher, speaking of which, he has come to suppress it a few times, but he didn't want to lose it once, so it's better not to come! They come once, we are the local flat-headed people, they will be harmed again, they can't beat the Xiao butcher so they take our people out of anger, grab food and money, they also kill the good and risky merit, there was a small village in the east, but the year before last, the Zezhou government sent troops to suppress the Xiao butcher, failed to attack the Lotus Mountain, in a rage, the official army slaughtered the whole village in the east of the village overnight, the result of a village of 100 people, overnight was killed clean, where to start, We don't expect the government to come and kill this Xiao butcher!

With us suffering, this life can only go on like this! God knows when these days will end! Alas! After saying that, the old man shook his head and sighed heavily.

"Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger! This government can't be counted on! Old man! You listen to me, don't hide it from you, the old man, we were originally a rebel army from Shaanxi, and we were forced to live by the government, so we rebelled, this time I came here, I just want to gain a foothold in the local area, this Xiao butcher does not open his eyes, the first few days attacked our people, and now we are here to settle accounts with that Xiao butcher! Old man, please rest assured, although we are a rebel army, we are definitely not bandits like Xiao Butcher, and we will never harm our local folks!

We have one idea, that is, let the people of the world have land and food! We will never embarrass ordinary people! As long as I have a firm foothold in the local area, then I will give you the land to cultivate in the future! I promise that you will not be oppressed again! ”

Xiao Tianjian's words didn't fall, this old man's eyes widened, he didn't care about Xiao Tianjian's identity, he could see that these people were not from the government, and they were definitely poles, but he cared about what Xiao Tianjian said later, so he immediately asked: "What the good man said is that if you kill Xiao Butcher, you will give these fields to us people to plant?" ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "Not bad!" The fields in this world originally belonged to the common people, so why should they only be occupied by those who are rich? We just don't accept that the court doesn't treat the people as human beings, so we expose the rebellion! If we exterminate Xiao Butcher this time, then the land in this area that originally belonged to him will be distributed to our local people to cultivate! ”

After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but start to get excited, rubbed his hands and praised again and again, lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was doing a fierce ideological struggle, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Can a good man's words really count?" The old man raised his head and looked at Xiao Tianjian with suspicion.

"If it counts, I can swear to God!" Xiao Tianjian nodded calmly and said to the old man in a solemn tone.

The old man seemed to have made up his mind completely, stomped his foot and gritted his teeth and said: "At my age, I can live for more than fifty, which is enough!" This time, I'm out of the way! Done! Good man, dare to ask your name? ”

"Xiao Tianjian!"

"Huh? The surname is Xiao again! ……”

Xiao Tianjian pulled out a few black lines on his head, and in the eyes of the old man, the surname Xiao in the world is generally black!
