Twenty miles south of Fucheng, outside the Liu family's grange.

Tian Yong ordered: "It's that Zhuangzi, on!" ”

When his men received the order, they immediately rushed forward with their troops. They shouted loudly as they ran towards the Grange.

The Grange's sentry immediately spotted the thieves rushing towards him, and began to nervously ring the gong in his hand.

At this time, the tenants of the grange had already collected the grain, and they had also shed their husks and collected the store, which was a rare time to rest. When they heard the sound of the gong, they were all a little stunned, because it had been a long time since they had heard of the thieves.

When the stewards of the grange also began to strike in the village with gongs, the tenants who were taking a nap in the house came out of their houses, took the poles and hoes, and went to the fence to pay their respects.

But the tenants arrived too late, and Tian Yong's men quickly rushed in through the gate of the waizi, and then rushed to all corners of the village. When the tenants saw the thieves with knives and guns rushing towards them, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

The gang of thieves seemed to be merciful, and they pursued them without killing the fleeing tenants. Instead, they were beaten down with weapons, tied up with ropes and thrown into the corners.

For the women in the Zhuangzi, these thieves don't seem to have much interest either. If women don't come to influence them to grab things, they don't care about them. If they come to stop them, they will be tied up and thrown on the ground.

And these thieves are very important to the possessions of their families. They rummaged through the cabinets, searched every corner of the house, and took away all the family's belongings and food.

In the warehouse in Zhuangzi, Tian Yong personally went to inspect the grain in the warehouse.

"Tian, Mr. Tian?" A middle-aged man who was tied up suddenly spoke.

Tian Yong looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Isn't this the third master of the Liu family?" Why didn't you stay in the city and come to this Zhuangzi? ”

Liu Sanye saw that it was an acquaintance, so he said with a smile: "Isn't this to see the harvest and prepare to transport it to the city." Mr. Tian has come here to make a fortune? ”

"Well, that's right," Tian Yong looked at the half-filled warehouse, nodded and said, "The brothers are hungry, come out and find something to eat." ”

Liu Sanye said with a smile: "Take the Tian Zong casually, as long as you leave me three or four achievements, so that I can go back and explain to my old man." ”

Tian Yong didn't answer, but asked: "You can't harvest this year, why isn't the warehouse even full?" ”

"Isn't this a bandit?" Liu Sanye blurted out, and then immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately remedied: "God doesn't open his eyes, and there is little rain under it." ”

Tian Yong nodded and said, "Well, that's right, it's almost the same if there are so many." After that, he instructed his subordinates: "Deal with all the people here." ”

Before Liu Sanye could understand what was going on, a thief behind him stabbed him in the heart from behind.

The other stewards, bookkeepers, porters, coachmen, etc., who were near the warehouse, were quickly settled.

One of Tian Yong's subordinates came over and asked worriedly, "Will there be trouble in the future?" Although the Liu family is not as good as the Shen family, the Ye family, and the Hou family, it should not be underestimated. ”

"They all recognized me, do you think it's better to keep it or deal with it?" Tian Yong asked expressionlessly.

His men have nothing more to say.

Tian Yong instructed: "Go and do things, get all this food." ”

"Yes." His subordinates clenched their fists and agreed, and began to direct their subordinates to carry food. It just so happens that there are a lot of big cars here, but they are shoulder-to-shoulder.

An hour later, Tian Yong left the Grange with his team, as well as food and belongings, and headed for the camp to the south.

It wasn't until the next day that the Liu family in the city learned the news. After that, the house began to cry, and then began to change the decoration, replacing the lanterns at the gate with white, and preparing to hold a funeral for Liu Sanye.

Early in the morning of the third day, the big families in the city sent people to Liu's house to express their condolences to Liu's family. At noon, Liu's family carried the coffin to the guerrilla general's yamen and blocked Li Yan's yamen.

Li Yan got the report and immediately took his soldiers out of the yamen.

"Master Liu," Li Yan asked coldly, "What are you trying to do?!" ”

Master Liu leaned on crutches and said with a sad face: "As you said, there are no more thieves around Guide Mansion!" But look at what you see, my son has been killed by thieves! And the twenty-three lives on the Grange, how do you explain it?! ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "I deeply sympathize with the deaths and injuries of your son and other people. We will also mobilize troops as soon as possible and begin to clear out the bandits. But did you bring the coffin to me to threaten me?! ”

"As a guerrilla general in Guide, you are in charge of suppressing bandits in Guide. There is such a big thing happening here today, you have to give me and the people of Guide Mansion an explanation! Master Liu said in a loud voice.

"That's right! Give us an explanation! Several other subordinates also shouted along.

"Before I came, you had such a rule?!" Li Yan asked: "I have been in charge of the guerrillas in Germany for more than three months, and most of the thieves in the territory have been exterminated, and I have a clear conscience!" This time the thieves suddenly appeared, most likely from the south. I will let the troops continue to clear out to protect everyone's safety. However, if you still want to make trouble here, I'm not welcome! ”

"What do you want?!" Master Liu said angrily: "You can't protect the safety of us, and you dare to threaten us, aren't you afraid of the court's discussions?!" Don't be afraid of this surging public opinion! ”

"Give us an explanation!"

"Compensate for the damage!"

"Kowtow to my third master! Wake! ”

……

There were people in the crowd who kept shouting loudly and making all sorts of demands.

Li Yan ignored Master Liu and them, and instructed Sun Sifu: "Go and transfer troops." Give them half an hour, and if they don't leave after the time, all of them will be arrested. ”

"Yes!" Sun Sifu agreed, and immediately asked people to go to the barracks to transfer troops. And he himself began to loudly announce Li Yan's instructions.

Li Yan glanced at the crowded crowd in front of the door again, and the outermost was the lively crowd. In the middle are the juniors and subordinates of other big families, who are here to join in the fun and cheer. The people closest to the yamen are the people of the Liu family, all of whom are wearing filial piety clothes, and some are wearing spirit-summoning flags, a large piece of white flowers. The women covered their faces with white handkerchiefs and sobbed twice from time to time, not knowing if they were really crying.

He sneered imperceptibly, and then went directly back to the yamen. The door of the yamen slowly closed, closing all the disturbances out.

Sun Sifu led his soldiers to guard the gate, and the soldiers kept repeating Li Yan's instructions.

"Within half an hour, you must all get out of here, or you will be arrested!"

The drums of "knock", "knock", "knock" sounded three times. Sun Sifu shouted loudly: "The timer begins!" There will be three drums every quarter of an hour! Everyone, do it for yourself! ”
