Pei Lin lit the light of the torch and read aloud the documents that Pei should have prepared a long time ago, and counted the crimes of the Chen brothers. Pei Gai deliberately wrote the words very plainly, and never engaged in those official articles, which was almost no different from the daily conversations of the common people, and I believe that everyone inside and outside the dock fort can understand it.

You must know that the little people are not the kind of officials who understand the legal provisions and the implementation process of Bian Yan, they have always listened to the wind and rain, Pei Lin read the Chen brothers' crimes, and it really caused another commotion in Wubao - I knew that the two brothers were not good things, but I didn't expect them to be so bad!

It's just that this is not enough to make the people in Wubao turn against each other, because the prestige and virtue of the government have not yet been added to their bodies, and they are far less terrible than the Chen brothers who are rampant in the township. And there have always been "thieves like combs, soldiers like grates", so many fierce soldiers outside are still outsiders - even after two thousand years, regional contradictions always exist - once they rush in, I am afraid that their own industry and even their lives will be immediately threatened. No matter how bad the Chen brothers are, if they need to help defend the dock fort for the time being, they will definitely not be able to harm themselves, right?

I waited for Pei Lin to read: "The Chen brothers secretly passed through the county officials, modified the field deed, and put all the land properties in the township under the name of the Chen family......"

When Pei Lin read this sentence, he was quite proud: the Chen family forged the land deed and was approved by the government, but it was handled by him Pei Lian, he was a slave, but the crime was written "slippery official...... Regardless of whether it is slippery or not, it is called "official", does this make the king hint again that in the future, those who are slaves will also have the opportunity to be officials? If this is really the case, as the envoy said, it is much better than being a slave in the Langya Palace, and the future is absolutely bright!

Immediately, without looking, I heard the commotion on the dock fort suddenly flourished.

Originally, the Chen brothers did not occupy much land in Huaisi Township, but they organized armed forces by building dock forts, and in the name of protecting the township, they demanded that all the dependent peasants be pledged with the land deed - since you accept our protection, you must vomit something out, right? The reason for pledging the land deed is very sufficient, that is, in case someone fornicates with a foreign enemy and damages the interests of the dock fort, the land deed can be confiscated and confiscated as the public property of the dock fort.

In these years, "the imperial power does not go to the countryside", it all depends on local autonomy, and things like winning deeds are all relied upon, even if the evidence of the bitter lord is sufficient, as long as he is held down and not allowed to denounce, the government will naturally not be investigated. Taking a step back, the bitter lord really went to the county to complain, as long as the dock fort is up and down, most people are on the side of the dock fort owner, and the government will also follow the "public opinion" and "public opinion" and drive the bitter lord out of the matter. Therefore, as long as there are enough reasons and you can still convince the public, it is very simple to want to win the deed - the reason for pledging the deed is this.

In fact, not only the Chen brothers, but also the owners of the dock forts often used this method to control the dependent peasants, and then turned around and changed the land deeds privately, and then contributed money and grain in order to obtain the endorsement of the government. Originally, I thought that when the surrounding area was a little more peaceful, there would inevitably be farmers who wanted to claim back the land deed, and when the time came, one by one, they would slowly open the hole cards, and through some water grinding efforts, they could completely turn the temporary dependents into their own tenants - but who would have thought that they would be drunk by Pei Lin on the spot.

Chen Jian inevitably panicked, and shouted loudly: "It's all rumors, in order to move the hearts of the people in my dock fort, you must not listen to the provocation of the dog official!" Suddenly, someone next to him shuddered and asked, "Are they all rumors?" I also asked Erlang to take out my family land deed, and I won't ask for it back, but I can ask for a look......"

Chen Jian glared and said: "You can't read a basket of words, so you will come out of the field deed, can you understand it?!" ”

The other party still didn't give up: "Although the villain doesn't know what to read, he still remembers the ancestral deed and what it looks like." Please also ask Erlang to come out, I just take a look, and I can ...... at a glance."

Jian Chen panicked, and said casually: "The deeds of your pledge are locked in my brother's cabinet, how can I get them?" ”

The noise intensified, and the wall of the dock fort immediately became a mess, no matter how hard Chen Jian and his henchmen suppressed, they could not stabilize people's hearts again.

Outside the dock fort, Liu Yetang approached Pei Lin and asked in a low voice: "The enemy's spirit has been taken, and his heart is in turmoil, can he take this opportunity to attack?" Pei Lin frowned and glanced at him: "I just read the book, when to attack the dock fort, it is a matter of business, why bother to ask the villain?" Liu Yetang nodded, and was about to give an order, but Pei Lin suddenly reached out and pulled his sleeve: "Wait, there are still a few words at the end of the book......"

He is also strange, the Tian Qi issue is definitely a big killer that shakes the hearts of the enemy, so it is reasonable to attach it to the end, but why are there two columns of small words below? Filled with doubts, he recited aloud again:

"Chen is unfaithful, unfilial, unfriendly and unfriendly, Chen Jian once wanted to hire Xuyi Mo's daughter as his wife, Chen Fen sent someone to peep, and saw that this woman was beautiful, and he privately promised to marry his wife's brother Pang Mou......"

Chen Jian was still holding his throat on the dock fort to suppress the peasant soldiers, when such a sentence suddenly floated in his ears, even if he was stunned, he immediately grabbed the wall with his hand, and asked loudly: "What are you reading?" Can you say it again? ”

Pei Lin repeated the previous sentence loudly again, Chen Jian couldn't help but widen his eyes, and shouted to his brother: "I thought it was my sister-in-law who obstructed it, but it turned out to be the intention of the eldest brother?!" ”

Thinking of that Zhen Sui, who was rough on the surface, but in fact, he hid hills and ravines in his abdomen, seeing this situation, he immediately grabbed Chen Fen's bun with his left hand, and took out the cloth stuffed in his mouth with his right hand. The two brothers looked at each other again, and Chen Fen hurriedly explained: "Xingguo Xiu listened to the dog official's provocation, it was indeed the plan of the sister-in-law, and the power of the Pang clan in Xuyi County was not weaker than ours, so I had no choice but to give in - the reason, I had already told Qingfen!" ”

The two of them are all unwritten, and they have never been like "you" to "you" when they are talking, and they don't know how to use honorifics, but this time they are really anxious, and they actually start to call their brothers "Qing".

Chen Jian nodded on the dock fort: "The words of the eldest brother, the younger brother is naturally convinced......"

Before the words fell, I heard Pei Lin start to read the next sentence again: "As for Chen Jian, he had an affair with his brother and concubine Feng family, and now the flesh and blood that Feng is pregnant with are not Chen Fenzi, but Chen Jian!" ”

When Chen Jian heard this, he was blindfolded on the spot, and his face was red. Chen Fen couldn't help but be stunned, and asked at the top of his throat: "Xingguo, is there such a thing?" ”

Jian Chen hurriedly waved his hand: "Big brother, big brother believe me, or do you believe the dog official's nonsense?" ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Fen replied: "The so-called groundless ......" In fact, he had long been suspicious in his heart, and he had heard a lot of gossip, but he couldn't find evidence, so he never asked his brother - if there were no rumors, how could Pei Gai be able to inquire?

When Jian Chen heard this, he was so angry that his eyes were split, and his face first turned red, and then turned to iron blue, and under the light of the fire, his face was full of skin and flesh twisted, like a demon. I heard Chen Fen ask: "Hugh wants to make perfunctory words, but you swear to the sky, I will believe you!" As soon as Jian Chen glanced at him, he saw countless surprised, puzzled, and disdainful eyes around him shooting towards him, like sharp arrows, at this time he was really speechless, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "That's it, it's ......."

He knew that if this matter was always a rumor, it would be fine, and since it was drunk on the spot in front of the public, it was impossible for Chen Fen not to be suspicious, although he said "I will believe you" in his mouth, he would inevitably have a pimple in his heart - even if it was purely fabricated, everyone in Wuwu Fort heard it, and they were all looking at themselves with doubtful eyes, so would he still have the face to be a man in the future? How could my brother allow Concubine Feng to give birth to the child smoothly? The hat on that head is really not green but green!

Chen Jian made a quick decision, immediately took an arrow and pulled his bow, and shot at Pei Lin with an arrow: "Dog thief, dare to slander me!" Pei Lin was so frightened that he shrank his neck, but fortunately, Zhen was quick with his eyes, and hurriedly swung his knife to block it, and the arrow was smoothly split in half.

But then he heard the sound of the strings again, and then Chen Fen screamed miserably, and he was hit by an arrow in his face, which penetrated through his skull, and he saw that he couldn't live!

This turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was shocked up and down the dock fort, but Chen Jian's figure was already gone—even several of his cronies had disappeared. Liu Yetang immediately made a decision and shouted: "Attack!" The soldiers shouted, and rushed straight to the dock fort - because they had come in a hurry, they had not prepared any equipment, and they planned to take advantage of the distraction of the people in the dock to climb the wall and destroy it.

The strings sounded on the fort, and the county guards planted several people on the spot, but then they also began to shoot arrows at the fort wall, and one of the peasant soldiers screamed so loudly that his head was planted from the wall to the outside of the wall......

The battle was chaotic, but it didn't last long, and soon someone took the initiative to open the gate of the fort, and raised their hands on their knees, saying "I am willing to surrender...... I just want to return the land deed that has been passed down from generation to generation in a small number of years. Zhen followed the body and slashed the person to the ground with a single sword, and then rushed into the fort first. Liu Yetang was so anxious that he shouted behind him: "Since they are willing to surrender, don't kill and injure the people anymore!" ”

The county guards swarmed in, and soon under the guidance of the Wubao peasants, they captured Chen Fen's wife and children, only Chen Jian and a few of his cronies, as well as Chen Fen's concubine surnamed Feng, who was pregnant with Liujia, and there was no trace - some people alleged that he was carrying a large bag and a small bag, opened the secret door on the north side, and escaped in the dark......

——————————

The dirty things between the Chen brothers, in fact, each of them ate dumplings dumbly - they knew it in their hearts, just to maintain the stability of Wubao and make the family continue in the troubled times, so they all endured it, and on the surface, they were still brothers and sisters, and they behaved very harmoniously. However, there are some things that are absolutely unsightly, and once they are drunk, the contradictions will be aroused on the spot.

It's just that Chen Jian was very angry in his heart, and said that I was excited for a while, and I asked my brother a word about you, and you denied it, so I pretended to believe it on the spot - foreign enemies covet it, how can you and my brother be in trouble again? But who would have thought that your rough temper would not change at all, and you would bite me back and ask me to swear to the sky...... There is a god in the head of the head, can this oath be made casually? Seeing that the people in the dock fort are scattered, it is clearly difficult to clean up, once it is attacked by officers and soldiers, it will inevitably be burned. You're going to die anyway, so it's better for my brother to do it, and my brother and I'...... It's better to run away!

So the perennial grudge in his heart broke out, and one arrow shot Pei Lonely, and he didn't know how to make the ghost send him, and the second arrow went straight to the door of his brother Chen Fen's face. After shooting this arrow, he turned around and went down the wall on the spot, led a few cronies, coerced Feng's concubine, beat the fine soft bag, and absconded through the secret door on the north side.

After running for several miles in the dark, his breath calmed down, and Jian Chen couldn't help but regret it in his heart - he should have cut off the hateful sister-in-law and her evil seed first, if his nephew grows up in the future, what if he wants to seek revenge on himself?

Pei Gai had heard a little about the story between the two brothers—of course, there was no evidence, and he couldn't dig up any details—he appended it in small print to the back of the document and handed it to Pei Lian, thinking that "brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold", if the matter of the deed is not enough to incite the hearts of the people in Wubao, perhaps they must try to separate the Chen brothers...... It was originally designed well, but in a hurry, I forgot to explain it to Pei Lian.

If he really explained to Pei Lian, it is estimated that with the situation at that time, Liu Yetang would immediately order an attack, and the losses might not be greater, Pei Lin would not have to read the last two columns of small characters, and the Chen brothers would not be on the spot. The unintentional mistake produced a good effect - of course, Pei Gai could not have predicted how much trouble that little fish slipped through the net would bring him in the future......

Let's say that the 1,000 soldiers of the two battalions of "Fierce Wind" and "Robbery Fire" soon took control of the entire dock fort, and under the command of Liu Yetang, they acted overnight, tied all the people in the fort with ropes, and loaded the money and grain into the carriage. Zhen Sui sent a few healthy soldiers with good eyesight to the north to spy on Hu Jun's movements.

According to Liu Yetang's meaning, let's try to empty the dock fort overnight, and then quickly retreat back to the south bank ......of Huaishui, but Zhen Sui said: "The governor still wants me to destroy the dock fort, otherwise if the Hu army comes, I am afraid it will be difficult to expel the fort according to the fort" Liu Yetang paused and said: "How can I not know?" But I'm afraid it's too late, if you go slower, the Hu people are all on horseback, and they will be chased by them...... "Look how strong this dock fort is, where can it be destroyed in a moment or three?"

Zhen Sui pouted and said: "The earthen wall is naturally difficult to pick, can't I destroy the wooden house?" "Ordered the soldiers of the headquarters to set fire everywhere, and burned all the houses in the dock and the wooden fort gates.

By the time the fire started, it was almost dawn...... You must know that such a large dock fort, even if it is just to loot floating wealth, it will take a long time, Liu Yetang ordered to retreat several times, but Zhen Sui was reluctant to the pleasure of looting, and repeatedly delayed...... waited until Zhen Sui's subordinates ran back to report that they had vaguely found a sporadic fire on the east bank of Surabaya, and suspected that an army was stationed there. Liu Yetang said: "This must be Hu Jun's arrival!" "It is estimated that they will leave camp as soon as dawn, and then look for a suitable place to wade—" We must return to Huainan immediately, and send someone to report to the governor urgently! ”
