It's been a full week since the flood, and the farming area and the city are surprisingly quiet, as if it's as usual. The panic caused by the floods quickly dissipated, and the people of the city were soon back on track, and many of the city's official roads were buried by the sediment brought by the floods, and after several days of cleaning, the restoration work has come to an end.

"It's unlucky." Wang Lin scolded and walked out of his house, he was the official in charge of the collection and sale of grain, he thought that he would take advantage of this opportunity to collect grain, but he never thought that a big flood caused a lot of losses to the farming area, and the substandard grain collection would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the city lords, and he would have a lot less oil and water, and even affect his image in the hearts of the city lords.

"My lord, the official road has been cleared, and we can go to those inferior people to collect food." An obscene-looking subordinate reported the situation with a grin.

"Very good, this grain collection must meet the standard, so there is no need to leave rations for those inferior people, anyway, it is not a pity for them to die, it is a big deal to let them eat the bark." Wang Lin flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and commanded in a low voice in the tone of a superior person.

"Yes, my lord, you are wise and martial, and it is not a pity for those inferior people to die." The obscene subordinate flattered, bowed again and again, and a pair of thief eyes glanced everywhere.

"Let's go, let's go." Wang Lin slowly walked up to the carriage with the support of several domestic slaves, the carriage was extremely gorgeously decorated, decorated with silk ribbons, red sandalwood for the body, gold silk embroidery, and a thousand-mile horse-drawn carriage. If an uninformed commoner looks at it, he will even think that it is the royal family on patrol. In this way, a luxury convoy of up to 1,000 people rushed to the farming area.

"Report!" A short but fast farmer rushed into a makeshift grass hut and hurriedly knelt down on one knee in the hall, head bowed, body facing a seat.

"Scout, please." In the past few days, he and a few trustworthy people have built a simple army system and intelligence department, and the peasants are miserable, and they have joined the rebel army under the oppression of the government, and this grass house is the temporary command center.

"The subordinates have found that the city lord's tax collection team has set off." The scout folded his hands in front of his chest, hurriedly reporting the news, quite like a regular army.

"I see, keep an eye on them." Wang Xu said lightly, and then waved his hand.

"Yes!" The scout bowed, then exited the hut.

There were six people in the grass house, and in addition to Wang Xu himself, there were five people.

Commander of the First Army: Zhang Goudan, with an army of about 20,000 people

Commander of the Second Army: Chen Fengshou, with an army of about 20,000 people

Commander of the Third Army: Li Nian, with an army of about 20,000 people

Commander of the Fourth Army: Liu Liangtian, with an army of about 20,000 people

Commander of the Mobile Support Army: Wang Gui, with an army of about 20,000 people

In addition to the five major legions, the rebel army also included Wang Xu's 200-man scout army and pro-guard army, the total number of rebel troops was about 100,000, these people were almost all the peasants who survived the flood, in fact, the total number of peasants before the flood was about 200,000, but 100,000 people died in the flood.

"The government's grain collection army is coming, and the people will listen to my orders and act according to the plan!" Wang Xu said sharply.

"Yes!" The five men stood up straight, gave a military salute, and replied loudly, their voices resounding.

Two hours later

Wang Lin lifted the curtain of the carriage, poked his head out, looked at the desolate farming area after the flood, he wiped his nose with a handkerchief, and was about to get off the carriage, when he saw that there was mud everywhere and put his feet back, he was disgusted: "This place is really unlucky." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, this place is desolate and dirty, so it is better for the little one to collect the grain for you, so as not to dirty the shoes of the adults." The obscene-looking subordinate took the initiative to stammer, in fact, he also had a small calculation, if Wang Lin didn't go, he would be able to be a little more greedy, the essence of the government is like this, layers of greed.

"No need, come on, carry the sedan chair." Wang Lin also knew it very well in his heart, and glanced at him and immediately ordered.

At this time, four strong men with the thick thighs of ordinary people came out of the rear convoy, and a gorgeous sedan chair was carried out from the rear convoy, and it was made up with the support of the subordinates.

Seeing that the abacus had failed, the subordinate couldn't help but touch his head, looking embarrassed.

"Get up the sedan chair and collect the grain." Wang Lin commanded loudly.

"Yes!" The grain collection team replied neatly.

The peasants who were cleaning up the remnants of the flood everywhere also saw the grain harvest, and some farmers also surrounded one after another, and Wang Xu also walked out.

"Yo, sir, you are coming, we are far away." Wang Xu complimented.

Wang Lin glanced at the young man who was covered in yellow mud and dressed in shabby clothes, his eyes showed a trace of disgust, and his body couldn't help but move to the other side.

"Less nonsense, inferior, you know what we deigned to be here for." Wang Lin said mercilessly.

"Could it be that the official is here to help the disaster?" Wang Xu made a temptation, he knew it was impossible, but he still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Inferior people, do you have a problem with your brains? You have leased land from the government for a year, and you still want us to post it? Hearing Wang Xu's unknown answer, Wang Lin was insulted.

"But we've just been hit by a flood, and we really can't get food right now." Wang Xu held back his anger, and Wang Lin made it difficult for the peasants present to see the extreme on their faces.

"I don't care so much about you, you have to pay for the food today, and you have to pay it if you don't pay it!" Wang Lin's voice grew louder, and his face was full of impatience and contempt for the peasants.

"Official, we really can't take it out, just after the flood, we don't even have a place to live." Wang Xu still held back his anger and tried to negotiate.

"Don't talk nonsense, pay the rent within a day, otherwise the men will be soldiers, and the women will be slaves." Wang Lin shouted, his voice full of anger, and his eyes full of disdain.

"Hahahahaha." Wang Xu straightened up and suddenly laughed, the previous humble tone disappeared completely, replaced by a bold laugh with a mocking tone, "The official is so majestic." ”

"Diao Min, do you want to die?" Wang Lin was angered by Wang Xu's sudden reversal of attitude, and he had never spoken to him like this with a sense of civilianism.

"Zhai, keep your mouth shut." Wang Xu shouted at him, then turned around and shouted to the peasants present, "Everyone has heard it, this is the government, this group of dogs will not give us any way to live, we are displaced, and they are still forcing each other to the death." ”

"You! Someone, chop this kid for me. Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and his anger rose at this time, and he scolded loudly.

"I see who dares!" Suddenly, the surrounding peasants rushed up and quickly surrounded this thousand-person grain collection team, Wang Xu stood in the center of the crowd, his hands crossed, domineering side leakage.

The few people who were about to come up just now retreated one after another, obviously frightened by the changes in front of them.

"What are you doing, do you want to rebel?" Wang Lin saw that the situation was not good, and said sharply.

"That's right, it's a pity that you have to die here today, and the emperor can't protect you when he comes." Wang Xu laughed, then raised a hand and shouted, "Kill, except for this dog official!" ”

The shouts of killing resounded throughout the world in an instant, with the grain collection team as the center, a group of people who were black and oppressed rushed up like a flood, they all rushed up with the hatred of the destruction of their families, with the anger of oppression, and all rushed up at this moment, and the grain collection team of thousands of people were frightened and stupid, they did not expect such a situation at all, they were just a group of miscellaneous soldiers who mixed up and ate, their thin defense was crushed in an instant, and they were chopped into pulp by the angry crowd without even screaming.

The blood of the people around Wang Lin splashed his face, he hid in the sedan chair and shivered, and suddenly the door curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and he was pulled out like a pheasant and thrown on the ground.

"You're screaming, keep screaming." Wang Xu stepped on his face with one foot, and then kicked hard, and Wang Lin's teeth were kicked out of several of them.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm just doing what I'm told." Wang Lin's previous arrogance disappeared completely, he looked around in horror, hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and his voice trembled.

"Brute!" Wang Xu slapped Wang Lin to the ground with his backhand.

"I'm a beast, I'm not as good as a beast, a good man, no, uncle, you just spare my life, I have an octogenarian mother, a three-year-old child, and two wives at home waiting for me to raise, you don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, just spare me." Wang Lin cried and kowtowed while smoking himself, and then crawled in front of Wang Xu and kissed the instep of his feet.

"Folks, this is the ruler, the dog who bullies the weak and fears the hard." Wang Xu kicked Wang Lin away, and then laughed, and the people around him also laughed.

"Big brother, what should you do with this guy?" A farmer shouted in the crowd.

"Kill him, kill him, kill him!" The crowd was agitated.

Hearing this, Wang Lin was frightened, and the speed of kowtowing accelerated a few points.

"Be quiet and quiet, listen to me, it's too cheap to kill him, who has the best way to kill pigs in our village?" Wang Xu asked loudly, and then looked around.

"Me!" A bald and greasy middle-aged strong man walked out, spat at Wang Lin, and then turned to Wang Xu.

"Good, skewer him with a stick and get it from the fart. The eyes go in, come out of the mouth, don't let him die in the process, if you can't complete the task, I'll ask you! Wang Xu said sharply.

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." The strong man knelt on one knee and smiled siniverly at Wang Lin.

"Don't! No! Please, spare me, I don't dare anymore, I swear I'll be a good officer. Wang Lin was stupid, yellow liquid gushed out of his crotch, and hurriedly crawled towards Wang Xu.

"On the shelf, tow away." The bald and greasy man screamed, and then was pulled out by two people in a burst of disgust.

After a stick of incense, a terrible and long scream came from the direction where Wang Lin was taken away.

"Big brother, what are we going to do next?" Zhang Goudan asked.

"Peel off the man's skin, find someone to write that the dog official should be punished, the thief should die, the merchants and the people are equal, and overthrow the tyranny. Politics. Rest today, start the siege tomorrow! Wang Xu said lightly.

"Yes!" Zhang Goudan responded, his eyes full of fire.

South Creek House

Jiurin Nanxi raised his head suddenly, startling Su Han'er.

"What's wrong?" Su Han'er asked tentatively.

"Prepare, the siege will break out tomorrow." Jiurin Nanxi said lightly.

"So fast." Su Han'er also frowned.

"The city defense formation is estimated to last for one day, and under the offensive of the rebel army, the city can be broken within three days. When a person who has been oppressed suddenly has power, they will be more fierce and greedy than those in power, and it is estimated that they will directly avoid some burning and looting, and tonight I will start moving important items into my hidden basement, and my plan will be ready to begin. Jiurin Nanxi commanded.

"Hmm." Su Han'er nodded solemnly.
