The fields around Beiwa Village belong to dry land, and it is good that the villagers can barely make ends meet.

In drought years, there is no harvest, and it is not uncommon for villagers to go out in groups to beg.

Except for Zhao Shuang, the others were accustomed to this kind of poverty in the countryside, and everyone quietly walked through the village, hiding next to the dilapidated houses at the edge of the village, waiting for the people to arrive, and in one fell swoop, they broke through the Beiwa Grange with blue bricks and high courtyard walls.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lord Zhao led the officers and soldiers to Beiwa Village.

When the common people saw that so many officers and soldiers had arrived, they had already gone into the broken house and peeked through the broken windows that had no window paper or even window lattices.

After Lin Chu and Lord Zhao discussed, they arranged a battle plan, and when it was dark, under the cover of night, everyone quietly went out of the village, surrounded the grange, and then concentrated their forces to break through from the south gate.

With a plan in mind, the next step is to wait.

Zhao Shuang asked Lord Zhao and Lin Chu next to him: "Why is the countryside so poor?" ”

Lord Zhao wants to say, girl, not only is the countryside poor, but our father is also poor, okay? But considering that the girl didn't remember anything in the past, she explained: "Beiwa Village is all dry land here, and the fields here are all owned by the grange, and the people in the village are all tenants, they have no land, and they make a living by renting the land of the grange, and most of the harvest is handed over to the grange, so the villagers naturally have a hard time." ”

Lin Chu said: "In the past few years, not only the villagers of Beiwa Village have had a hard time, but also the people in the rich areas of the south of the Yangtze River have not had a good time. ”

"Why? Is there a famine year after year? Zhao Shuang was puzzled.

Lin Chu said lightly: "The famine is one thing, the main reason is that the phenomenon of land annexation is becoming more and more serious, the fields in the hands of the peasants are getting less and less, and the taxes of the imperial court are getting heavier and heavier, and the peasants' lives are naturally becoming more and more difficult. ”

Zhao Shuang once learned in a middle school history textbook that in the last years of ancient dynasties, land annexation was often serious.

She has never thought about why the phenomenon of land annexation is getting worse.

"Why is land annexed? Are the rich forcing the poor to sell their land to them? ”

Lin Chu smiled and shook his head: "There is persecution, but in most cases, the sale and purchase of land is voluntary between the two parties. ”

At this time, Lin Wenyi also joined the question mark in: "Why? Why did the peasants sell their land? ”

"Because my father broke his leg and wanted to be treated, he had to sell the land to the Grange." A young girl's voice suddenly came from the dilapidated house next to her.

Zhao Shuang instantly understood, yes, this is also the reason why many years have passed, and the Chinese people love to save money, because a family with an ordinary income has too low ability to resist risks, and once there is a natural or man-made disaster, if there are still a few acres of land in hand, then they can only sell the land to tide over the difficulties.

The poor get poorer and the rich get richer, which is a strange circle that society has not been able to get out of.

Perhaps one day, when the productive forces of human beings reach an unimaginable height, and material goods are no longer a shackle that restricts human beings, this problem will be solved.

When the night fell, Zhao Moshen gave an order after consulting with the leader of the leading squad, and the officers and soldiers quietly sneaked towards the grange.

In the dark, Zhao Mo said in a deep voice: "Shuang'er, you and Rou Niang stay in the village and wait." ”

Zhao Shuang said: "It's better to stay in the village than to be safe with you." ”

Lord Zhao thought about it and made sense, so he took his daughter to the grange together.

The Grange is still some distance from the village, and it may be that the lord of the Grange dislikes the villagers and does not allow them to build houses near the Grange.

The grange covers an area of five or six acres, with high walls and large tiles.

As soon as the group approached the Grange, the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the Grange.

Zhao Shuang could tell from the barking of dogs that there were about fifteen or sixteen big dogs.

If these dogs are released, it will also be a nuisance.

Two officers who had a good relationship with Meng Xiancheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, a question came from inside the door: "Who?" ”

The messenger said, "I, Yangzi, came here from Lord Meng." ”

"What's the matter?" The people inside were obviously very vigilant, and their voices became cautious.

The messenger said: "It's inconvenient to shout out important matters, let's meet and talk about it in detail." ”

The people inside hesitated for a moment, as if they had gone in to report to the person in charge.

The people outside are beating drums in their hearts, if the other party doesn't open the door, they can only break in, this high-walled compound is really not easy to break into.

Everyone held their breath and sighed, and the atmosphere was not out for a moment.

After a while, there were footsteps, unlocking, and twitching the deadbolt from inside the door, which showed that the inside of the grange was tightly protected.

The gate creaked open, and as soon as the people inside poked their heads out, they felt a huge force rushing towards them, and the gate was instantly opened, and the officials and officers rushed in and quietly rushed into the door.

The man who opened the door and the two doormen of the porter were restrained and tied up.

The three people who were tied up were just about to shout, but the cold blade was against their necks: "Don't scream." Say, how many courtyards are there, where are the beggars and homeless people who are kidnapped? ”

The doorman didn't speak, and suddenly received a kick in his waist, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and he opened his mouth to scream, but his mouth was tightly blocked by something stuffed into it.

The officers and soldiers who broke in quickly alarmed the first person who entered the house, and as soon as the person inside appeared, he was slashed back with a knife.

This is the battle plan set by Zhao Shuang and Lin Chu, and they will not let go of the living force that will destroy any enemy.

Because the people in this house are doing the most heinous work of skinning people, they will inevitably resist desperately, either I will die or the enemy will die, so we must not be soft on them.

The officers and soldiers who were transferred did not know that they were facing Meng Xiancheng and others, and they were directly told by Zhao Moshen that they were fugitives who committed heinous crimes, so in order to save their lives, they immediately slashed each other as soon as they saw the other party.

The officers and men were about to break through the first courtyard, when suddenly a group of fierce dogs, each fat and strong, rushed towards the officers and soldiers fiercely and frantically.

These big dogs are more agile than people in jumping and moving, and it seems that after training, a dog's combat power is definitely stronger than that of an officer and soldier, and it can even defeat one against two.

The officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment when they saw the fierce dogs rushing over, and when they subconsciously raised the knife in their hands and prepared to fight hard, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the air.

It is not accurate to say that the whistle sounds, the sound is rapid and desolate, and the smell is creepy, like falling into hell, as if there are ten thousand ghosts devouring bodies, and the soul is being torn by evil spirits.

"Hack those vicious dogs to death!" The officers and soldiers were frightened and stunned by the whistle, and a voice shouted.

Everyone reacted suddenly, but found that the vicious dog that had been ferociously rushing over was lying on the ground at this time, trembling, obviously caught by this whistle.

The officers and men were overjoyed, and raised their knives to cut at a dozen or so trembling dogs, which was like cutting melons and vegetables, and easily solved a major problem.

The vicious dog was dealt with, and the whistle was gone.
