"Is there anything else you disagree with?! I ask again, is there anything I disagree with!! ”

Knight Wade shouted loudly, raised the thick stack of papers in his hand, and shook it slightly, and there was a burst of anxious and troublesome sounds of 'bang, la, la'. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is in the square in the center of the village, which is said to be a square, but in fact it is a flat land, and every village will have such a place, so that when the lord comes, he can gather all the villagers, announce policies, or collect taxes.

And now, all the villagers in the village, young and old, young and old, are here.

"Ask again one last time, is there anything you disagree with!! If you haven't answered, then I'll assume you agree! Come up and sign for me one by one! ”

Knight Wade continued to wave the thick stack of papers, and the villagers around him looked grim, but ...... But they dare not speak out.

For a hundred heavily armed soldiers of the Wade Knight stood right in front of them, like wolves and tigers, and their murderous gaze could sweep over every restless person at any moment. Moreover, the few strong villagers who really had the courage to resist had already been beaten to the ground, and each of them had been beaten ten times, and now they were tied to wooden pillars and hummed, and no one dared to untie them.

According to the words of Knight Wade, this is called killing chickens to show monkeys, without suffering a little, these bastards really think that grandpa's family is a dye shop!

However, little Odega was still relieved, it seems that Knight Wade has not really gone crazy - he only whipped ten lashes without directly cutting off his head, which can already be said to be merciful.

It's good if you don't cut off your head directly, it's good if you don't cut off your head directly!

Little Odegar muttered to himself, "As long as there are no dead people, it's not a big deal, anyway...... The peasants had long been accustomed to the unreasonable fuss of the aristocracy with nothing to do. ”

Yes, most of the nobles in the Middle Ages were like this, they did not necessarily leave the house once in a few years, and all of them were idle eggs, and idle eggs would die if they hurt 9, and the most pleasant way to die was to toss the peasants under their hands. After all, there is a sense of happiness when there is contrast, and seeing that the peasants under their command have lived so miserably, and must force their faces to laugh under the power, the nobles get psychological satisfaction and can continue their spending and drinking.

But this kind of thing has rarely happened (it cannot be said that it has not happened) since Count Don Jr. came to power, and now the practice of Knight Wade is only to awaken their memories that are not far away.

"Jonathan—"

"In, in! My lord, I'm here! ”

Knight Wade would definitely not do such an energy-wasting act of reciting the name himself, so it was one of his lieutenants who was reading the name now. But Knight Wade, who had always stood by the adjutant's side, had to see all the peasants sign and sign with his own eyes before he could be relieved.

The peasant, whose name was read, hurried up to him as if there was a mad dog chasing after him—he could not help but hurry, and a few of the ones he had just read were a little slower, or hesitant, and were beaten down on the spot by the enraged knights, and pressed their hands to the drawing.

Since it is inevitable to draw a charge after all, why should you suffer such a meal of flesh and skin?

"Jonathan, you own a total of thirty-five acres of land, right or not?"

When the adjutant said this, he saw that the peasant in front of him was still in a daze, so he immediately raised his voice and asked again: "I'll ask you!" Thirty-five acres of land, right or wrong! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's thirty-five acres, not bad at all."

Jonathan woke up from a dream and hurriedly replied, for fear that the adjutant would regret it - in fact, he only had thirty-two acres of land, and now he somehow had three more acres, which could be said to be a big advantage!

The adjutant immediately glanced at Jonathan with disdain, of course he knew that his data gave Jonathan a big bargain, in fact, not only Jonathan, but every farmer got a big bargain. The original twenty-eight acres were said to be thirty acres, and the thirty-two acres were said to be thirty-five acres, and there were inexplicably a few more acres of land, which calmed down a lot of the anger that had been churning in the hearts of these farmers.

In fact, this is one of Wade Knight's strategies. Use the power of thunder, show the grace of rain and dew, and give a sweet jujube with a stick, and keep it so that these farmers can be honest and can't get up at all.

Moreover, those few acres of wasteland, which still need to be cultivated in order to be cultivated, are nothing for a huge county? And Count Tang now wishes that someone would go to open up the wasteland! Since Count Don doesn't care, then what does he Wade Knight care about?!

"Then do you want the land in the east or the land in the west? We will compensate you for the original price of the land in the east, which should be thirty-five acres or thirty-five acres, and the land in the west is a little barren, we can compensate you for twenty acres, which means that you can get fifty-five acres of land, you can choose for yourself. ”

East, or West?

Jonathan was immediately in trouble, the land to the east, he knew. Because it is indeed better to lean on a small river. And in the west, barren is just a nice saying, it is all the land of a village, how can it be poor if it is barren? It's just that most of the land in the west is uncultivated, and if you want to cultivate it, you have to open it up, so few people care about it.

It stands to reason that it is best to choose the land in the east, because the east is all cooked land, there is no risk, and you only need to hoe the soil and plant the land every day to ensure a good harvest. But to the west, to the west it was twenty acres of land!

Twenty acres! As a farmer, Jonathan's desire for land is far from what we can imagine now. After all, it is land that can grow food and feed a family, so if you are tired, you will be tired, and if you are hard, you will be hard, and you will fight!

"I ...... I'll choose the western one! ”

"To the west, fifty-five acres of land." The adjutant said this, then filled in the numbers on the paper and pushed it over to Jonathan: "This is your land deed, fifty-five acres to the west, and it is clearly written. If there is no problem, there is a red ink on your right hand, you press that one, press it on the paper, and the contract is completed. ”

"Okay, okay."

Jonathan took the paper and looked at it like a treasure, in fact, he couldn't understand it, although Count Tang Jr. was already fully implementing education, but the main force was still underage children, and Jonathan was good if he could understand his name.

But although I couldn't understand it, the number fifty-five on the paper was still clearly written, and Jonathan stared at the number three times before putting his thumb into the ink, closing his eyes and pressing it hard!

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir......"

The contract was in duplicate, Jonathan took his share, happily folded the paper seriously, and then thanked Wade Knight and the lieutenant in gratitude, and trotted all the way back.

"Hmph, the rat's eyes are light, and after all, he will rise to fight the small people."

Seeing that the peasants who had just objected had now become like this, Wade Knight couldn't help but snort coldly, once again confirming the correctness of what he had done.

"The necessary coercion and deterrence are indispensable...... Maybe add a little favor...... After all, I don't want to give the Olcoba Knight any more trouble......"

Yes, although it is already a great sin to say that privately leading soldiers, but this is in the West, and the West is not the same as the East. The emperor of the east controls everything, the whole world is not the king's land, the coast of the land is not the king's minister, and the king's important minister has to die. However, in the West, the basis of the ruling class is composed of both nobles and knights, and the command of the army is originally part of the knight's duty.

However, the use of soldiers to threaten the villagers was unjustifiable in Count Don anyway, so Knight Wade used his rigid brain and racked his brains to come up with a good idea to try to dispel the resentment of the peasants. In this way, when the Earl found out, he could have a nice name, such as 'helping the villagers to maintain order,' or 'helping the peasants to measure the land,' and in any case, there would always be a way to prevaricate.

Originally, it could have been like this.

Seeing that things were getting smoother and smoother, the peasants were torn apart by the threat of force and the lure of interests, and everyone thought that they had actually taken advantage of it, and even those who had been whipped did not have much resentment when they saw the contract, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

However, a herald hurried over to Knight Wade and said a word, and Knight Wade's face changed on the spot.

"Two hundred unidentified armed soldiers in the north are approaching at full speed?!"

The moment he heard the news, Knight Wade's first feeling was that Count Don was coming, but he thought about it and it was impossible, first of all, Lord Count came alone, at most with Knight Alcoba. Secondly, the heralds have said that these two hundred soldiers are not familiar to them, that is to say, they are not standing armies, so they can only be town guards, and Count Xiao Tang is bringing troops, and it is impossible to bring town guards!

So, that's all that's left ......

"Odega-!!"

Facing the angry roar of Wade Knight like a lion, little Odegar could only face it with a wry smile.

But Wade Knight's anger will not be dissipated by a wry smile from little Odega!

"You idiot! Idiot! What have you done! ”

Wade Knight strode forward, his hair rushed to the crown, and he opened a pair of big hands and directly pinched little Odega's clothes, his hand strength was so great that he almost dragged little Odega up!

"Originally, everything could have been worked out perfectly! Look what you've done! Do you think I don't know about your little thoughts! Do you think that the adjutant you secretly sent out yesterday, I didn't find out! You've only lived for a few years, and I've lived for years, do you really think I don't have brains? But look what you've done! ”

Knight Wade roared angrily, he really regretted it, he knew everything about the adjutant of little Odegar running out at night yesterday. But first, he didn't dare to look for it at night, and second, he did see that the adjutant was running towards Count Tang's castle, so he put his mind at ease.

If he had known this, he would rather toss the soldiers all night than let the adjutant escape!

But now, little Odega is actually full of regrets, he is indeed proud, he became famous at a young age, and he is the most proud student of Count Don, he is reused and trusted, and there are even rumors that he is already the successor of the first red man in front of the earl, the knight of Alcoba...... All this has made this young man who was once just a serf lost, although he still has strong self-control, but a certain degree of nobody in his eyes is inevitable......

If he had been able to communicate well with Wade Knight before, maybe this would not have happened.

But even so, little Odega was still a little unconvinced in his heart, why can you knights transfer soldiers privately, and I can't do this?

"Stupid!"

Wade Knight directly slapped little Odega in the face, this slap was hard and accurate, and directly beat little Odega.

"How do you know how long we've been preparing, how many people we've communicated, and how much effort we've spent! It could have been possible to keep the Earl in the dark for the time being, and wait for it to be revealed little by little later. You're doing this now, and you directly mobilized the guards of Cork City to come out, I don't know how many people have seen it, how can we hide it?! Maybe the Earl is on his way here now! ”

"That's not wrong! These things should have been known to the Earl! ”

Little Odega covered the red marks on his face, crossed his neck and continued: "You can talk about me for other things, I am at fault for these, but privately mobilizing soldiers and threatening the villagers are not supposed to do these things!" The Earl should know that! ”

"That's why you're an idiot! Do you really understand where you stand?! ”

Hating iron does not make steel, hating begonias without fragrance, Wade Knight has this expression on his face: "You are now a superior person!" It can be said that they are all the next knights who are predetermined! You should understand who you should think about, for the Earl, or for this group of people? Lord Earl can be gentle and kind, because he is Lord Earl! But if we are lackeys, we must be ruthless, even if we are infamous, we must help the Earl do things well, so that we can be a qualified lackey! ”

There is no help.

The man is completely hopeless.

At that time, after listening to what Wade Knight said, little Odegar only had this thought left in his mind. This man is hopeless, and Knight Wade's mind is now full of loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty, as long as it is good for Lord Earl, he will act arbitrarily, and no one's opinion will be listened to. But, you can't expect everyone to be like you!

Poor peasants, precarious serfs, everyone is just trying to survive in the cracks, for people who can't even eat, you let them abandon all dedication and loyalty, that's a bit too strong!

The two of them were constantly firing in the middle of the square, but to be honest, their mouth cannons looked intense, but they never hit the point.

This is the limitation of the times, and the knights represent the traditional aristocratic class, who have never taken the peasants seriously, and are more concerned about their own rights and obligations. But little Odega represents a new class of bureaucracy that has just emerged from the peasant family, and who cares about the peasants, partly because they come from peasant families and have a natural sympathy for the peasants. But the more realistic reason is that the extensive peasants are their natural supporters, and as long as they still have the support of the peasants, the little Tang Count cannot ignore them, and they will always have a place in the court.

This contradiction is not irreconcilable, as long as the cake of interests is big enough, it is no problem to hold people on both sides to death, but at the moment, it seems that it is indeed inevitable.

Because the human heart is really the most difficult thing in the world to figure out.

The reinforcements that little Odega called, of course, could not have been personally commanded. In fact, of the two hundred town guards, there were four commanders alone, each of whom commanded fifty people, and among these four people, there were also differences.

There are two people who think that everyone is the Earl's subordinates and should wait for the Earl's arrival to make a decision, but some people think that they will drive the Wade Knight and the standing army out of the village first and protect the villagers, which can be regarded as a meritorious achievement.

In the final analysis, it is just selfishness.

These people have long looked at the knights unpleasantly, not to mention the natural opposition between the two classes, it is all a cliché. But it was true that the knights were blocking their way up.

If you want to fight, Count Tang Xiao greets knights, you have to work, Count Tang Xiao greets knights, goes out on patrol, Count Tang greets knights, and even daily life matters, Count Tang Xiao also greets knights, they, the first 'protégés of the Son of Heaven', can only work in the countryside day after day, what kind of 'education work', to be honest, they have long been annoyed!

They are all young people, eager to make meritorious contributions, eager to kill the enemy, eager to worship vassals, and dream of going to war every day, but they are not little Odega, who can be unanimously appreciated by the entire county, and have a worry-free future. Their road ahead was blocked by the veteran knights, and there was no hope of moving forward, so why didn't they be anxious?

And now, it is rare to catch a knight who made a mistake and was caught red-handed by them, how can he let it go so easily!

"Soldiers! It's time to protect the villagers and clear the rebellion! Come on! ”

At that time, seeing that Knight Wade slapped little Odegar to the ground, one of the guys immediately shouted out excitedly, and then rushed out first, he rushed, his own soldiers, and the soldiers next to him, whether they were happy or not, they were going to follow!

And the standing army, they have all been killed in the sea of blood in the sword mountain, everyone was born and raised by their parents, why just let you beat me and not allow me to fight back? These experienced veterans immediately formed an array, and a brawl was about to happen!

"It's over, it's all over......"

Seeing such a scene, Wade Knight only felt cold, and for a while his hands and feet had no strength, so he could only mumble to himself, and the little Odega, who was caught in his hand, also sat on the ground with a weak ass.

This time, the leak is really bigger......
