In Tanzhou, the local forces are called 'Xiangshe'.

At that time, many places in Hunan had established "township societies", which were generally formed by the union of hundreds of families, which were originally militia organizations for the purpose of arresting thieves and maintaining local law and order, and were led by powerful landlords in various townships. Due to the lack of proper management and restrictions, some of these township communities have degenerated into underworld forces in which powerful landlords oppress the people and even argue with the government, which has caused serious public order problems. The momentum was so great that even the Southern Song Dynasty court was alarmed.

It is precisely because of these forces that Xin Qiji is ready to do a big thing after the impeachment of Zhao Shanjue.

Xin Qiji has been doing a lot of things, before Ma Chao became a bandit, Xin Qiji wrote an article called "On the Thief's Slasher", this argument was not recognized by Song Xiaozong until recently, so Xin Qiji's impeachment of Zhao Shanjue was successful.

The article mainly talks about why everyone doesn't live a good life and becomes a bandit. Mainly because the common people can't survive. The state officials are most concerned about letting those lower-level officials collect taxes for them, so the state officials dare not inquire about the behavior of the lower-level officials who are cruel to the people and harmful things; The county officials are most concerned about the cleverly set up projects to gather in a car, so the county officials do not dare to inquire about the behavior of the lower-level officials who are cruel to the people and harmful things. In this way, the vast number of peasants, the county yamen endangered them by accumulation, the county yamen endangered them by looting, the lower-level officials endangered them by extortion, the powerful and inferior gentry endangered them by annexation, and the bandits endangered them with violent robbery. So if the people do not go to the thieves, what way will they live?

Improve the living environment, unify the bandits, and through the improvement of their lives, let some bandits return to their hometowns to farm, marry wives and have children.

The problem of bandits is solved, and there is only one problem left in Tanzhou, that is, the township community. Therefore, Xin Qiji sent Ma Chao to the squire again, so that Ma Chao could find a gap between these local tyrants and destroy their unity.

The squire's personal force is not large, and the most alarming thing is that they are a hundred schools of thought and share benefits.

The Nangong family is the head of the township community, with more than 1,000 well-trained soldiers, so Wang Cheng, like Ma Chao, chose the first family to do it, which is the Nangong family. If it is Ma Chao, he will slowly cut with a knife, and when the Nangong family dies, he will not feel pain.

But Wang Cheng can't do it, he likes to make drastic moves, so that the pain of people can be seen, and he likes to bully people to the point that others hate him. Because Wang Cheng seems to have defined himself as a bad person since he was born.

His decapitation was sudden, which caught the Nangong family a little off guard. But Wang Cheng is not a fool, he is not really like a bandit, rushing in to kill people, and then robbing money and leaving, he uses his brain. The Nangong family is still in charge of the old man Nangong, so he asked the horse pole to help and control the old man.

Da Xiong was indeed a little nervous, because he ate five more bowls of rice, and then followed Wang Cheng to the ancestral hall, and when he arrived at the ancestral hall, Wang Chengcheng took a few steps back and let Da Xiong walk in front, and Da Xiong was a little apprehensive in his heart.

The ancestral hall generally has the tablet of the ancestors, except for the big things such as sacrifices, which is presided over by the patriarch, handling some family public affairs, and criticizing the children of the family who have made some big mistakes.

This time the ancestral hall was opened, and Da Xiong felt that this ancestral hall was for himself.

Before entering the ancestral hall, I felt a solemn atmosphere, looking at the troops guarding the ancestral hall, which was also the most powerful military force of the Nangong family. Big Bear is quite confident in his own ability, but with so many elite soldiers in the family, Big Bear doesn't think that he and the horse pole can conquer the people inside by force.

Even so, Da Xiong didn't think of retreating, from the moment he promised Ma Pole to return to the courtyard of the Nangong family, Da Xiong planned to give up his cowardice and fight in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
