When they arrived at Waxia Village, the villagers were so frightened that they all hid in the house, Li Qingyuan saw the village chief and others waiting at the entrance of the village with bandages from a distance, and waved his hand: "Don't engage in those false things, tell me about the situation here first." ”

The village chief looked at the three people around him and scratched his head and said: "General, it's not a big deal, it's just a little bit of skin, I'm really sorry to alarm your driver, do you think you want to go to the village system to rest and rest?" ”

Li Qingyuan looked at him and asked, "Call me general, are you the army retreating?" What's with? ”

The village chief's glasses were red and he said, "When I hit Sorghum Fort, I was slashed in my right hand..."

Li Qingyuan paid attention to it at this time, and saw that the village chief's right hand was missing four fingers, and Li Qingyuan patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go, find a quiet place and tell me about the situation here." ”

When everyone came to the village office, Li Qingyuan looked at the simple wooden chairs, and sat down at random, and the village chief stepped forward and said: "General, this recess village has 317 acres of upper fields, 670 acres of middle fields, and 1,300 acres of lower fields. There are more than 670 villagers in more than 130 households, including more than 230 adult laborers, more than 300 children, and 47 elderly people. ”

Li Qingyuan nodded, a very ordinary village, with a high fertility rate, a high premature death rate, and there are obviously more middle-aged people and children than the elderly, which means that people's life expectancy is generally not high.

Li Qingyuan asked, "What about the land?" Are they all from the Liu family? ”

The village chief looked at the three people around him and said, "Du Accounts is more clear, he is an old man in the village, let him tell you." ”

Du's account room is a little nervous, I have never seen such a big official in my life, this entourage is more than the county master, I'm afraid it's bigger than the county master.

Seeing that he asked, Du took out the account book and said: "At present, the fields in the village are owned by the Liu family or relatives of the Liu family, and ninety percent of the fields in Zhongtian and Xiatian are owned by the Liu family.

Li Qingyuan nodded and asked, "So there is no doubt that it was the Liu family who released the cold gun this time?" ”

The village chief looked at Li Qingyuan and then at the other three people and shook his head: "This is not very clear, we didn't see it at the time, people ran fast..."

Li Qingyuan waved his hand: "Okay, don't say it again, I have already sent someone to investigate, you go down first, the village chief stays, and let my subordinates show you the wound later." ”

After the others retreated according to their words, and only their own people were left in the room, Li Qingyuan asked: "I just saw you talking and always looking at the people around you, what's the matter?" Do they have a problem? ”

The village chief shook his head: "It's hard to say..."

Li Qingyuan glared at him: "What's not to say!" It's all your own people here, you can say whatever you have! ”

The village chief nodded: "General, this job is not easy to do!" ”

Li Qingyuan looked at the village chief without speaking, and the village chief sorted out his thoughts and said: "Since I received the order to be the village chief, I am very grateful to you, general, but after I came, I found that the people here did not cooperate at all.

Later, the Liu family found this dilapidated house, as well as these broken furniture, and then set up a village system to look around, there is no one in the entire Aoxia Village who is not related to the Liu family, and these three people are also distant relatives of the Liu family. ”

Li Qingyuan nodded: "And then?" Why did the Liu family shoot you coldly? ”

The village chief sighed: "It's not a matter of measuring the land, this Du account room told me, this has always been the government to measure the land, either to collect taxes, or to determine the property rights of the field, according to the convention, if you want to measure the land, you must first ask the Liu family how much land there is, let them report the number themselves." ”

The village chief's face turned red and gritted his teeth and said: "I just think that if the general wants me to measure the land, there must be a reason for you, I don't care what others do, but I have to do a good job in a down-to-earth manner under the general's instructions, so I didn't listen to Du Accounting, but took the amount of people one acre and one acre by myself, step by step, and the result was like this..."

After speaking, with tears in the corners of the village chief's eyes, Li Qingyuan listened to it and said after a while: "Don't worry! Your blood will not be shed in vain, and my territory cannot let the Liu family do whatever they want! ”

The village chief shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not good to collect evidence, I haven't seen this gun, this bird is everywhere, and they won't admit it." ”

Li Qingyuan sneered: "I'm not here to investigate the case!" I'm here to solve the problem! Evidence? My words are proof, and there is only one way for him to be crushed in my way! ”

The village chief was a little surprised and asked nervously, "Isn't this okay?" ”

Li Qingyuan asked, "What's wrong?" Let me ask you, what is the tenant rent of the Liu family? ”

"Five out of five"

"Have you ever let go of the debt of donkey rolling?"

"Yes?"

"Has anyone starved to death in Waxia Village because of the tenant rent?"

"Yes!"

"Has the Liu family ever done anything evil?"

"Yes!"

Li Qingyuan stood up: "That's enough!" Then this one starts with him! ”

The village chief asked nervously, "Is there going to be a war?" What battle? ”

Li Qingyuan looked at the distance with deep eyes and said leisurely: "Fight the local tyrants and divide the fields!" ”

The village chief savored these six words, and the more he read it, the brighter his eyes became, and he asked happily: "Do you want to divide the fields to the people?" ”

Li Qingyuan nodded: "Otherwise, why would you be asked to count the population of the land!" ”

The village chief asked expectantly, "When will it start?" ”

Li Qingyuan looked at the herald running in the distance: "Today! Right now! ”

The herald came running and saluted, saying, "Report to the General!" Commander Wu is still ten miles away from Aoxia Village, and Commander Wu specially sent me to listen to orders! ”

Li Qingyuan took a breath: "I order!" Send two battalions to surround Waxia Village and not allow them to enter or leave, and those who violate the order will be killed on the spot! The other battalion captured the Liu family's compound after the other two battalions completed the encirclement, and the rebels were killed on the spot! ”

The herald left, Li Qingyuan stood in the village, looking at the silent village, at this time these villagers felt that they were no different from the Qing soldiers, but they just changed the object of handing over the emperor's grain, but after today, they should not think so.

Li Qingyuan hadn't participated in this kind of battle to attack the village for a long time, and now it only took him an order to attack the county seat, and then his subordinates would carry it out.

Li Qingyuan now feels more and more like playing a real-time strategy game, he only needs to go step by step, and he has completely lost his enthusiasm for fighting the war.

Li Qingyuan watched the soldiers drive in, listened to the gunshots and explosions from the direction of Liu's house, and then cheers, charges, an hour later, Regiment Commander Wu pressed a large group of old and young people to the village system, some of these old and young people were frightened, some were unwilling, some were angry, and some were numb, Wu asked these people to kneel in two rows, Li Qingyuan looked at them and waited in line Li Qingyuan asked lightly: "Who ordered the assassination of the village chief?" ”

The Liu family lowered their heads, no one returned, Li Qingyuan shook his head and smiled: "I shouldn't be too kind to you, I shouldn't have illusions, okay, I won't ask, take it all down, ask everything that should be asked, and hold a public trial meeting tomorrow!" ”
