With a violent gong sounding, the strange silence in the Fan family's mansion was instantly broken.

"What's wrong!?"

In the hall, Fan Wenlong's other three sons were secretly happy at this time, according to local customs, the old man is the most favored on weekdays, but they have already received the news that the old man took people to go bravely, but he planted a heel in the village and lost his life.

However, the sudden sound of gongs and drums at this time made them feel a little uneasy.

"Knock knock~"

The rapid sound of drums and gongs mixed together, making the entire Fan family mansion seem to be shrouded in panic, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the gate one by one.

The faces of the Fan family changed slightly, and at this moment, the two younger brothers were indifferent, looking at themselves as if watching a play, so they gritted their teeth and walked to the front yard with a few family members, and other Fan family members on the road also followed behind.

When he came to the front yard and confirmed the safety with the caretaker, he climbed the ladder on the wall and saw that the villagers in the village outside surrounded the Fan family's mansion.

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the Fan family who poked their heads out, and then said loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Fan family is cruel and unkind, abusing tenant farmers and bullying the people, today, we join forces to seek justice for the people!"

However, the expected excitement did not materialize.

When the boss of the Fan family appeared, the villagers, who were quite indignant, showed cowering and fearful looks on their faces.

This cringe and fear is something that is rooted in their hearts.

It's like a mouse seeing a cat, a slave seeing a master, even if the other party is not as strong as imagined, or even weak, there is still a shackle in their hearts.

Seeing this situation, the boss of the Fan family smiled.

- The mud can't hold up the wall.

At first, he didn't expect that this impoverished village would have the courage to attack him.

You must know that although there are many people in this kind of poor village, there are no connections in the county at all, let alone any power, and there are no arrogant people in the village.

Therefore, the Fan family didn't care before.

But since the old man has been planted before, and he is not such an arrogant fool, he naturally has to be careful.

But now it seems that his caution seems to be a little redundant.

"It's just a group of villagers, I heard that there are a few outsiders who can fight and kill the old man, but with these few people, can they still break through the courtyard wall of my Fan family?" The boss of the Fan family thought to himself in his heart.

However, at this time, he did not dare to be careless, since he heard the situation clearly, he did not bother to say some meaningless words to anger these already angry villagers, and went back to the hall to report to his father Fan Wenlong.

"Already snooped out?"

"Absolutely."

Fan Wenlong sneered and said, "With this bit of manpower, you dare to come to my Fan family to make trouble, I really don't know what to do." ”

"Dad, what do you mean?" The boss of the Fan family asked tentatively.

Fan Wenlong looked at his eldest son and asked.

"Tell me what you think."

The boss of the Fan family is cautious by nature, so he naturally intends to stick to the county and wait for reinforcements, since he has already sent someone to the county seat to inform him, then it is good to guard the yard and not go out to wait for reinforcements.

Listening to his eldest son's thoughts, Fan Wenlong also felt reasonable.

But at this time, the second son and the third son came together.

"How can you rely on the ambition of others to destroy your own prestige?"

"Daddy, a group of stinky villagers who want food, what is there to be afraid of?"

The boss of the Fan family frowned: "There are more than 20 families outside, and now there are not many nursing homes, what should I do if I go out rashly and have an accident?" ”

"Dad, give me twenty people, and I'll kill these mud legs!"

"Just give me ten!"

When Fan Wenlong heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "These people want to destroy my Fan family, it's ridiculous!" Third brother, you go and kill these people, slaughter a few leaders, and disperse the rest! ”

"Yes!"

When the Fan family opened the door and the family members swarmed up, the villagers began to shake subconsciously, and some even began to smear oil on the soles of their feet and secretly retreated.

There are also people who are watching him, counting on this young official and his warriors who can fight and kill to help them administer justice.

Jiang Xinghuo watched this scene calmly.

The villagers are still angry, and they have not yet reached that state of complete numbness, which shows that the people's hearts are still available in this era.

It is a pity that the people's wisdom has not yet been developed, and the traditional agricultural economy has determined that landlords like Fan Wenlong occupy absolute dominance in the vast villages, from agricultural production to personal dependence and even rule by force.

If this change in Jiangnan can allow farmers to engage in new manufacturing methods through large-scale cash-for-work and the establishment of handicraft textile parks, then the changes in manufacturing methods, life and cultural habits will make these people become the seeds of benefiting from the reform, forming the effect of bringing the old with the new, and affecting millions of people through their social relations.

In this way, the peasants can really be freed from the control of the landlords.

And at the moment, it is not practical to expect the peasants in these villages to fight against Fan Wenlong, and he still needs his action.

"Well, it's just a little hope, I still have some expectations that are too high, if I don't make a move, I'm afraid it will attract the resentment of the villagers, thinking that I picked the head, but now I can't take responsibility."

Seeing the Fan family pressing forward step by step, and the villagers retreating step by step, Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and thought in his heart.

At this moment, when everyone hesitated, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Folks! The Fan family lost all their conscience, abused us, and didn't give us a way to live, and today we turned against him, and we don't believe that without the Fan family, we won't be able to live. ”

Jiang Xinghuo felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when he looked back, he was surprised to find that Aunt Liu, who was thin and weak, was waving her arms excitedly and shouting at this time.

As soon as these words fell, several men stood up, waving the farm tools in their hands and shouting.

Immediately afterwards, the villagers were agitated.

"What do you want to do?"

The three elders of the Fan family roared, drew their swords, and shouted: "If anyone dares to approach again, don't blame me for having no eyes for the sword in my hand!" ”

Seeing this, the old village chief, who had not spoken, had a solemn look in his eyes, he knew that this kind of situation was very unfavorable to the villagers, but today, he had to avenge the villagers and his relatives who died in the hands of the Fan family.

"Don't be afraid, these wicked people will only bully people. Let's fight with him, as long as we kill one, we can earn one. ”

"That's right! Fight! ”

The villagers shouted angrily.

Although they are usually cowardly, at this time, they show great courage and perseverance.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at these villagers, and Gu Jing Wubo's mood rippled for the first time.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the peasants of this era did not seem to be as unchangeable as in his worst predictions.

The threat of the third elder of the Fan family did not work, and soon, the villagers continued to rush forward with dung forks and flails.

After all, the Fan family nursing home felt outnumbered, and their hearts were a little empty, and they were soon forced back to the door by the villagers, and the shadow of death gradually shrouded their hearts.

Cold sweat was dripping on the forehead of the third elder of the Fan family, and in the face of the absolute number gap, he didn't dare to shout like the second brother to kill these mud legs.

"Close! Close the door! ”

However, when it was too late, several soldiers dressed as villagers and hiding in the crowd had already rushed forward and showed their guys one after another.

The third child of the Fan family's heart jumped suddenly, and turned around to escape, but before he could run a few steps away, he was pierced through the right chest by a spear, and blood fell to the ground along the tip of the spear.

Now that the gate has been captured, immediately after, the army that has been prepared for a long time behind swarms.

The thoughtful boss of the Fan family is in the middle courtyard, with the rest of the family ready to respond.

Seeing the family in the front yard fleeing back, behind him was a figure that could not be seen clearly, relying on his tall stature, but the boss of the Fan family caught a glimpse of a scene that made him heartbroken. It's the army!

"You go and stop it, I'll report to the master."

The boss of the Fan family took a deep look, and then hurried towards the small door without looking back.

"Yes!"

All the families agreed in unison, and immediately, they drew their swords one after another and rushed towards the enemy who did not know the details.

The Fan family is the overlord of several villages near Qingpingbo, with huge power and deep roots, relying on force, and doing some illegal business between black and white on weekdays, which is used to rampant in the township, so the number of nursing homes is extremely large and quite brave, so even if he saw his companions retreating, he still bravely greeted him.

However, they didn't know that at this moment, they were facing the army!

And he is the most elite soldier of the Ming Dynasty!

The first sword and shield bearers and crossbowmen worked in pairs, and each group was equipped with a crossbow.

"Woohoo!"

The sound of the bowstring breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and the arrows cut through the sunset line at dusk like meteors, bringing up a string of brilliant streamers and shooting straight at the Fan family.

"Poof! Poof! ”

The sharp arrow sped, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the chests of seven or eight family members, and blood spilled out.

"Ahh

The terrible screams sounded in the Fan family's mansion, and soon drowned out, and the Fan family's mansion was full of wailing.

In just a few moments, there was not a single living person, all of them fell in a pool of blood, and became corpses.

The soldiers who participated in the battle had a look of fanaticism on their faces, and said excitedly: "It's been a long time since I've encountered this kind of hard stubble, it's so cool!" ”

"Haha, these country tyrants are courageous!"

"Tut-tut, don't look at what the grandfathers used to fight."

"Without further ado, hurry up and clean up the battlefield."

"Hehe, good stuff can't be wasted."

The soldiers laughed and laughed, and in an instant, they quickly rushed into the Fan family's mansion, searching everywhere for something valuable.

Obviously, even if these soldiers are already the most elite existence of the Ming Dynasty, they still can't get rid of some of the bad problems inherent in the army in the feudal era.

But Jiang Xinghuo had no intention of excessively suppressing their desire for loot, and they couldn't use the standards of saints to demand everyone, otherwise no one would work, and the final result could only be rebellion.

Don't let the army distribute the spoils of war, this kind of thing can't even Zhu Di do.

As long as he didn't hurt the women and children and ordinary servants, and took some of the ill-gotten gains of the Fan family, he would turn a blind eye.

In the hall, the second child of the Fan family, who accompanied Fan Wenlong, was sulking, and the eldest brother and third brother had something to do, but they didn't.

However, before he could continue to think about it, a strong and pungent smell of blood instantly rushed into his nostrils.
