Chapter 17: The Fall of the Landlords
Walsh was asleep when he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps and buzz from outside.
"Get up quickly, the landlord has been arrested by the village chief, and he is ready for a public trial!"
"Luffy was arrested, the big landlord was arrested, and all three landlords were arrested!"
"What, Luffy was caught?" Walsh, the old farmer who was green, suddenly opened his round eyes, straightened up, pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside the door, and heard Luffy's name again.
Walsh grunted out of bed and saw the orcs running around the street, and the orcs from every house on the street ran out of the house, which was both incredible and excited.
Walsh grabbed a young man passing by and asked urgently, "You just said that Luffy was caught, is it true?" ”
The young man was caught by the old orc, and said excitedly: "Why am I lying to you, don't you go to the small square to see it yourself, Lord Allen is going to be judged publicly, and there is no good place to see it if you go late." ”
Walsh was stunned for a moment, was struck by sudden happiness, and then rushed into the house, shouting with the largest decibels:
"Mom, get up, get up."
Walsh shoved the old woman violently, looking anxious, and her whole arm was shaking, for fear that she would not see it when she was too late.
"What's wrong?"
The old woman, who was still sleeping, was a little resentful, but when Walsh said that Luffy had been arrested, she also rolled out of bed, picked up her child, and rushed out of the hospital.
"Luffy is caught, Luffy is caught!" The Walsh family shouted wildly on the road and joined in the rush to tell each other, their faces overflowing with excitement.
When I ran to the square, the small square was once again full of people.
The little ones were innocent, and when they saw someone tied up, they pointed and giggled.
The three landlords were tied up with ropes and held in the middle of the small square, extremely humiliated.
Walsh suddenly burst into tears when he saw the powerful Luffy, dressed in supple black silk clothes, and kneeling on the ground in a luxurious dress.
"Woo, Lord Allen is really good...... "The old farmer choked up.
As Walsh's cry rang out, the rest of the dozen or so old farmers also felt the same way, and indescribable sourness welled up in their hearts.
For many years, the village chief had never done justice for them, and the old peasants began to choke up and cry when they thought that Alan could think about them.
When Luffy heard those cries, he was annoyed, his face darkened, and he yelled very angrily: "Alan, why did you catch me!" ”
"It's up to this man."
Priest Hood replied on behalf of Allen, pushing out the orcs who delivered the message.
The orc named Blue, one of Luffy's personal soldiers, has a body of strength, strong muscles, and is a powerful thug in the village, and he usually has a share of the dirty work he usually does.
Some old peasants saw Blue, their faces changed slightly, they had been bullied before, and they knew how strong Blue's strength was.
The moment Luffy saw Blue being escorted out, his pupils shrank, and such a powerful subordinate was actually solved by Allen.
Then the big landlord resolutely refused to recognize people, and insisted that he didn't know: "I don't know who he is, do you think you have something to do with me if you pull someone casually?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, everyone just knows it in their hearts."
Alan sneered, pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from Blue's clothes, and handed it to Hood.
Luffy's eyes were fixed on the piece of paper, and he wanted to get up and grab it, but his hands and legs were bound by special knots, and his whole body could not exert any strength.
Hood took the paper, he was the second most powerful person in the village, he was the priest in charge of the sacrifices during the festivals, and the privileged class of the village similar to the chief steward when there were no festivals.
I only heard him read aloud: "Dulles, I'm Luffy in Datie Village, you must help me with this, Village Chief Allen canceled the cat slave economy, so that my business is less than eighty percent, you are a big slave merchant in the town, you should know the importance of this matter, I suggest you tell Lord Viscount Altair Town......"
Every time Hood read a sentence, the onlookers became angry, and when they had finished reading the whole article, they all stared at the landlord's face with red eyes.
Again, once again, encountering the orcs who stood in the way of the implementation of the New Deal.
This time it was the three major landlords, and in the past, the peasant uncles naturally did not dare to fight the landlords, but the village chief gathered everyone to watch the play, and the true intention was self-evident.
Today it is possible to get rid of the three major landlords.
No, Hood stood on a high ground and began to announce all sorts of things that Luffy had committed in previous years.
For example, Luffy fell in love with someone's wife, occupied the property, and forcibly robbed other people's daughters to sell them as cat slaves, and there are countless examples.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen old peasants just stopped their tears, and couldn't help crying silently, kneeling on the ground and begging the village chief to execute the landlord.
Walsh was even more ruthless, holding the cat-eared beast boy baby who was born less than two days ago, with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed: "I don't know whose blood the child is, but I still have humanity and will raise him." Village Chief, I, Walsh, am self-reliant, and have never begged anyone else, now I only want Luffy to die! ”
The big landlord Luff was so angry that his lips trembled, he turned his head to look at Allen, and scolded: "Allen, you shameless old thief, who has no black spots in his life, I am a landlord, I am more noble than a pariah, I tell you, you can't punish me, otherwise the landlords of Morning Glory Town don't like you...... Hmm ”
Before Luffy could finish his sentence, he was tied with two ropes by the clever old hunter and sealed his mouth.
Hood continued to read out the landlord's crimes, and the whole village came to a climax, and an assassin was placed in the crowd as a supporter, clenching his fists and shouting: "Down with the landlord!" ”
"Down with the landlord!"
"Down with the landlord!"
With a bang, the sound of defeating the landlord sounded in the sky above Datie Village.
The second landlord listened to the shouts of the crowd, his expression was discouraged, and he could no longer have the idea of resisting.
As for the small landowner, Orlando bowed his head and said nothing.
Hood stood on the big rock, listening to the sound of the downfall of the landlord in his ears, and his heart did not relax, but worried about himself.
After the defeat of the landlord, only he and the village chief were left among the privileged class of Datie Village.
Alan is a powerful man in the village, and if he doesn't obey, he will definitely end up like Old Will and the landlord.
From now on, Datie Village will be Allen's hall.
After Hood recognized the situation, he immediately made a final judgment according to Allen's previous decision.
"The big landlords and the second landlords are guilty of many crimes and are directly executed. Orlando has repentance, and last night he saw through the conspiracy of the big landlord, and informed the village chief that he had meritorious service, and hereby exempted him from the death penalty and sent Orlando to work in the mines! ”
When the big landowner Ruffy heard the final verdict, he suddenly looked at Orlando with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Orlando, you betrayed us!"
Orlando didn't say a word, pretending not to know them, and tried his best to put aside the relationship.
"Ao, Lan, more!"
The voices of the big landowners drowned out in the revelry of the villagers.
Hood then lifted the restrictions and let the villagers vent on their own.
The orcs, who were usually oppressed by the landlords, screamed, clenched their fists and hugged forward, with red eyes, and gave Luffy a punch or kick with his hands.
The big landowner Luffy howled, and was soon beaten into a pig's head.
After a while, the old farmer with tears on his face also came, and they kicked the little brother at Luffy's trouser stall with a few kicks.
"Ahh......h
Outside the surging crowd, Natasha looked at everyone's tears of joy, and the discomfort in her heart was touched again.
Normal people in power don't think about the suffering of the people at all, why Eren did this at the expense of his political future, Natasha couldn't figure out.
Look at Allen again, he has already left the scene, and headed to the blacksmith with a stack of lathe blueprints.
Since then, the three major landlords of Datie Village have fallen.
