Chapter Seventy-Four: Fighting Local Tyrants and Dividing the Land

Wang Fang's ugly face twisted in pain, and he screamed halfway, and the person was completely immobile.

Zhu Feng pulled out the steel knife and wiped the blood from Wang Fang's clothes, then looked up coldly at the soldiers who were still holding their weapons.

Those soldiers finally couldn't stand it anymore, and threw the weapons in their hands to the ground one by one, and they were immediately picked up by Mao Qing and thrown aside.

"Since the brothers are so happy, then let's talk about it later!" Zhu Feng laughed, ordered Fu Kang to release Zhao Minglun, pulled him to sit side by side on the steps of the main hall, and then instructed Hao Shi to take Zhou Bing to wake up all the people in the village, and asked Mao Qing to take a group of brothers to completely raid the Wang family.

Soon, Wang Fang's wife, concubine and seven or eight-year-old son were brought out, and when the three of them saw Wang Fang's body, they immediately screamed, and after being slapped by two Northern Han soldiers, they stopped screaming, hugged each other and trembled. Yu Chengfeng's old father and daughter-in-law were also brought out immediately, Yu Chengfeng immediately pounced when he saw it, and asked nervously, and the two shook their heads and said that there was nothing wrong.

Subsequently, the Wang family's warehouse was found, and three large boxes of belongings and many jewelry boxes were moved out and poured into the ground. Mao Qing moved a small box out and whispered to Zhufeng that it was all about buying and selling land deeds and leases, and Zhufeng nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to put it on the steps.

At this time, some villagers were "invited" to the courtyard one after another, looking at the chaos in the courtyard in a panic.

Zhufeng put his right hand tightly around Zhao Minglun's shoulder, sat there quietly, and waited until all the more than 100 people in the village had arrived, before he stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, folks, in Xia Zhufeng, it is Lord Lin Fenglin of Datang Shouzhou, and the brothers of the Northern Han Dynasty are here today to help everyone!" ”

Exclamations rang out at the scene, and several old and young women couldn't help but sob. It was the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty who drove them out of their homes, and they were exiled and miserable outside for five or six months, and then they returned home.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Feng picked up Wang Fang's corpse from the ground with both hands and slowly showed it to the people present.

"Wang Fang is dead!" The news immediately spread among the villagers, and the sobbing of the women and children in the crowd also stopped, and many people were happy, but soon became confused again.

"Wang Fang is rampant in the township, heinous! Today, our Shouzhou Army is on the road to heaven and Xipo Village! In the future, you don't have to worry about being bullied by him again! Zhu Feng roared loudly, leaned over and picked up the small box, grabbed a handful of contracts, and raised them in front of everyone, "I asked, the land in the village basically belongs to the king. The big guys have been working hard here for generations, but they will always give most of their income to the king, how can there be such a reason in the world? Today, in front of the big guys, our Shouzhou Army will burn all these contracts and leases that have oppressed you for a lifetime or several lifetimes! From now on, all the land you have planted will be yours! ”

With that, Zhufeng picked up the small box, poured it whole onto a torch that was placed on the ground, and threw two more torches on it. The flames rose and immediately enveloped the deeds and leases, and the papers slowly turned black and soon turned to ashes.

The audience fell silent, everyone looked at the embers on the ground in disbelief, especially those villagers, some even began to pinch their hands hard, is this true? The land that was used to save life has become their own from now on?!

Yu Chengfeng looked at the ashes that were swept up by a gust of autumn wind, burst into tears, pulled his daughter-in-law, knelt on the ground with a "tom", kowtowed to the winds again and again, and shouted: "Xie Lu Xie generals, Xie Lu Xie General Xie does not kill, Xie Lu Xie General Xie saves his life, Xie Lu Xie gives the land ......"

The other villagers finally reacted and knelt down and kowtowed, thanking them everywhere.

"Get it all up for me!" The winds roared.

The villagers were startled, and hurriedly got up at a loss, looking at the winds in horror.

Standing on the steps, his tall figure reflected high and wide by the torches on the wall behind him, Zhufeng waved his hand and shouted:

"We, Lord Lin Fenglin, told us that we have a pair of knees, we kneel to the heavens and the earth to our ancestors, and we must not kneel to others easily! You are all the owners of this land, which is yours and you don't need to kneel to anyone! Yu Chengfeng! Call two reliable people out and count the box of belongings and divide them equally among each villager according to their heads! ”

Yu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment and ran to a box of scattered copper coins.

Zhu Feng walked down the steps, walked up to the surprised villagers, and shouted, "The land is already yours, and the money will be distributed to you, but can you protect them?" What if someone takes them away? ”

The villagers' smiles froze on their faces. Yes, on the other side of the courtyard, there are still one or two hundred Zhou soldiers standing there!

Zhu Feng pointed to the sky and roared: "Since the former Tang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven in the north has changed one after another, and the officials here have changed one after another, but who has sympathized with us ordinary people, they come and go, what's the difference?" It's just a difference in the severity of the tax! Why are they? Is it that protects us from being bullied by the king? Or has it improved our lives so that we don't have to worry about every meal? ”

The courtyard was silent for a moment, only the crackling of torches could be heard, and the villagers were all reminiscing about the words of the wind, and their faces were shocked, surprised, and excited, but none of them could remain calm.

The winds stepped back, returned to the steps, pointed to the weapons on the ground, and said, "We are the only ones who can protect us!" Only knives in our hands! Now, start giving money to everyone, and if you want to protect your land and your money in the future, you can take a knife from the ground and protect your family and property!

From today onwards, Xipo Township is our permanent base! We, the Shouzhou Army and the Northern Han Army, can teach you the skills to kill the enemy, and can be your eternal backing and backer! ”

After speaking, Zhu Feng pulled up Zhao Minglun, who had been sitting there indifferently, walked in front of the group of Zhou soldiers, and said with a smile: "Brothers, we are all soldiers, can we have a good business?" ”

Can the two sides who were still drawing their knives just now still talk about business? The group of Zhou soldiers were all blinded by this sentence.

With a wave of his hand, Hao Shi brought over a box of money and slammed it down in front of the soldiers, immediately attracting all the attention of these soldiers.

Zhu Feng clapped his palms and said softly: "You were accidentally defeated today and lost your weapons, even if everyone can go back safely, it is a great joy to be able to be unpunished, even if you pass the test, you will not be comfortable in the army in the future, right?" I want to make a private agreement with you on behalf of the Shouzhou Army and the Northern Han Army, so that everyone can go back safely, beautifully, and with a full pocket, how about it? ”

What is this statement? Zhao Minglun and the soldiers all looked at Zhu Feng in amazement.

Zhu Feng approached Zhao Minglun and the others again, turned back and pointed to the villagers who were queuing up to receive money, and then pointed to the courtyard of Nuoda, and said softly: "Let's come out to be soldiers and beg for a living on the head of the knife, don't we just want to get a few money to support our families?" If you can get a few acres of land, then it will be even better! Everyone is a smart person, think about it, if we always bully these poor people with four walls, even if we desperately squeeze out a few pennies? If you want to get it, you still have to get such a big family! ”

Zhao Minglun couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, here Wang Fang is good to himself and his brothers on weekdays, and has been entertaining him with good food and drink, so they chose this place to carry out an ambush, but now, he is so tired that Wang Fang's soul returns to Huangquan and his family is ruined.

However, Zhou Bing, who was standing behind Zhao Minglun, had a lot of eyes lit up.

"Oh, this box of money is already ownerless, and now it is divided evenly among everyone, which is not only a shock money for everyone, but also a cooperation sincerity money given by our Shouzhou Army! In the future, we will cooperate privately to sweep away the notorious landlords in other villages and even other townships in Guanwangmu Township. Zhu Feng continued to lower his voice, tempting those Zhou soldiers.

Zhao Minglun was also a little moved, this is indeed a way to make money by ensuring income during drought and flood.

"Let's think about it again, in the future, we promise not to openly invade the area you are responsible for defending, and we will divide all the money and property we get equally, and all the excess land will be divided equally among our brothers, and we can give it to the villagers to plant at a discount, and we can just harvest it when the time comes!"

You should be able to see what the future holds, right?! If you don't stop for a few days, the cavalry of the Liao State and the army of the Northern Han Dynasty will go south, and there will be all kinds of conquests on this land in the future, we can guarantee that they will not attack you, and we will live in peace and make a fortune together from now on, how about it? Zhu Feng continued to tempt, turned around and grabbed a pile of money that Hao Shi had separated, spread it out and lit it up in front of those Zhou soldiers.

At this moment, Zhao Minglun looked back at the expectant eyes of the brothers, and was the first to walk up and take a copy of the money handed over by Hao Shi, and the other soldiers were silent, lining up to receive the money!

And it came to pass! Zhu Feng was secretly proud, and turned and walked towards Wang Fang's widow, who had been curled up in the corner of the steps.
