Chapter 55 Sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife

"Tell me, you dare to say something nonsense to the Hua family, that is the Hua family, you can give us fields, we should be grateful to Dade, you are talking nonsense, now you are seriously injured, you need money for medical treatment, and the family is already short of money"

In the dilapidated tiled house, Liu Laohan, a farmer, frowned and sighed as he looked at his son who was beaten and bruised on the hospital bed

The mother's tears on the side have flowed,

"How can you say that about a child? Although the child's words are hard to hear, they are right, where will we go to find so many taxes in three days, if we can't pay them, will we really hand over our daughter to Hua Dashao's hands? ”

"What can I do? So what can we do? That's a big boy, Bhutan has a lot of families, and even the government is their people, and there are people in the family who work in the court, and we can't do anything."

The old man of the Liu family shouted angrily, tears flowing.

This is the sorrow of ordinary people, they have no power, no resources, no connections, no power, even if they are oppressed and humiliated, they can only endure it, so that at least they can survive

"Father, your idea is not right at all, I used to think the same as you, but now I know that these are all those scholars, these are all the words used by those dignitaries to deceive us"

Liu Gui, a man of the Liu family who was beaten half to death, slowly opened his eyes and gritted his teeth, the pain in his body was not as sad and angry as the pain in his soul

"But some time ago, I met a person, and they all told me that the reason why we poor people are so poor is not because we don't work hard, but because the rules made by the people above, and the people above are sucking our blood, and we are raising those high-ranking officials and nobles, and we are raising those officials and bureaucrats, but we don't get anything, which is not fair at all."

"Shut up, what are you talking nonsense. If you can't say this, do you want to cut off your head? ”

The old man of the Liu family trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to resist or resist without culture.

"What I said is true, father, do you know that there is now a group of bandits called barbarians in the area of Daojin Nanfu in Youzhou, and I heard that wherever the barbarian army goes, they will eliminate dignitaries, open warehouses and release grain, burn IOUs, and even divide the fields"

"Now there is a saying outside, the barbarian army has opened the world, the barbarian army does not pay food, does not pay taxes, divides the fields, divides the land, and divides the houses!"

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? The common people of which dynasty don't need to pay taxes, you dream, don't listen to those people's nonsense, you just come out because you are always thinking nonsense, and now there is such a thing. I was beaten half to death, so let's think about what to do next, how to put together the tenants."

The old man of the Liu family shook his head like a wave valley, with fear on his face.

What his son said in front of him, but he never thought about it.

He felt that this was simply a fantasy.

"Yes, yes, son, you must not be cranky, such a thing is simply impossible. We ordinary people don't say anything else, just farm well, pay taxes, and support ourselves, we can't control other things, and we can't manage them."

The old peasant woman also hurriedly comforted on the side.

They have never thought of or heard of such rebellious words.

Liu Gui lowered his head and was silent.

At this moment, he felt an unusual sadness.

Huaxing County, a remote house.

Liu Gui stumbled, with sandbags wrapped around his body, his nose and face swollen and crooked, and he struggled to walk on the muddy ground.

Entering the room, pushing open the door, there were seven or eight men with the same yellow face and thin muscles, seeing Liu Gui arrive, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Brother Liu, be careful, be careful, we heard that you were beaten by the evil young man of the Hua family, we are very worried, you are too impulsive"

"It's just that it's too impulsive, if just talking can make the Hua family be grateful and change their ways, it's impossible."

"Yes, yes, it's impossible, what if you get killed?"

The people in the room, you say a word, I say a word, chatter, but the pessimism in their eyes comes out slowly.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I was really angry, you also know the situation of our family, it's similar to everyone else, hard work for a year, God doesn't appreciate food, and the grain harvest fails, but the tenant rent of the East China family does have to be paid, plus the government's taxes, only one percent can be left, and even the food is not enough"

"And now this evil young man of the Hua family has set his sights on my sister, who is only 7 years old"

Liu Gui gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth.

He couldn't imagine what kind of treatment his 7-year-old sister would suffer if he was really sent to the Hua family?

Could it be that in a few days a body will be carried out and thrown into a mass grave?

"The Hua family is an evil young man"

"This damn world is not fair at all"

"This damn world is not right at all!"

Everyone was furious, you and I were talking and talking... Indignant, but helpless.

It's just too hard for ordinary people to fight against a group.

"Brother Wang, is the thing you told us about the barbarian army last time true or false, is it really a field to distribute food and even weapons!"

After the crowd was angry, they looked at another man who was obviously much better than them.

This man. Although the face is yellow and thin, the expression is indeed not so depressed, and there are even some pleasant moods.

This is obviously a person who is much better off than they are.

The person called Brother Wang nodded and said

"Of course what I said is true"

There was a pause

"You also know that I am from Wangjia Village, and you were originally doing well in our Wangjia Village, but since General Wang came over, he has wantonly plundered property in our Wangjia Village, and even asked people to serve him. Our Wang Jiajun is really miserable, not much better than you."

"It was an army of 500 people, until that day, Chen Zhang, the commander of the barbarian army, came to Wangjia Village alone, he alone killed the four major generals, and killed Wang Shen General, at that time we were all very scared, will this group of rogues come to burn and loot, don't tell you, now I think about it at that time I have almost written the suicide note, and even prepared the poison, if I really be caught by the rogues, I would rather die by myself."

"But what you didn't expect at all is that this group of rogues entered Wangjia Village without committing any crimes, but hunted down and killed high-ranking officials, those landlords, and those who joined the army, and held a public trial."

"Yes, it's just for us ordinary people to put a public trial on ourselves, and if we think he deserves to die, then solve it with a knife, and if he doesn't deserve to die, let him go"

"You don't know. At that time, those dignitaries and nobles who bullied us, begged bitterly in front of us, I will never forget that feeling, I used to be high, I was afraid, until they were all sent to the public trial, I found out that these dignitaries and nobles are not much different from us, the reason why they are so arrogant and domineering, can bully us all rely on their rights. ”

Brother Wang raised his head and said coldly as he spoke

"You know the next thing, this rogue has not committed any crimes, not only that, but also burned all the IOUs in front of us, and the old Wang family next door is so excited that they have to kneel down, their family owes a lot of money, and they can't afford to pay it back for several lifetimes, and now they don't have to pay anything back."

"Not only that. They also put food, and our family was able to survive with the food. During this period, what other grievances did the commander of the barbarian army hold to tell us why he was so poor and why he was so miserable? ”

"As I said to you, we are not poor because we are born, but because those dignitaries are exploiting us, oppressing us, and they are robbing us of the value of our labor, all our money, and it is legal."

"Just like Liu Gui, 90% of the family's hard-working grain has to be handed over to the landlord and the government, how can you live at all!"

"It's not that we don't work hard, it's that they don't want us to live at all."

The more Brother Wang spoke, the more excited he became, and after he finished speaking, he exhaled

"I heard that the next few villages that the barbarian army will attack will put grain in this way, send money and even weapons, so that our villagers can protect the villagers themselves, in the words of the barbarian commander, only with swords and guns in their hands can they protect themselves"

"Friends come with flowers, enemies come with swords. If you can't protect yourself, who else can you expect to protect yourself?

Friends come with flowers, enemies come with swords.

Liu Gui muttered to himself when he heard this, as if his entire soul had been washed.

He felt that this was completely correct, if he had a sword and a gun in his hand and a sword in his hand, would this evil young man of the Hua family still dare to bully himself?

Even if the Hua family bullies him, it's because he has many family members, and he can't beat him at all."

Money is his sword, and he is only because he doesn't have it.

Everyone listened to Brother Wang's words, and they all yearned for it, imagining the days when they could send food and money without debts, and that kind of day was like a dream

"It's a pity, the barbarian army doesn't know if it will come to our Huaxing County, if the barbarian army can come to our Huaxing County, it will be great."

"This Hua family in our county is evil, I also hope that he will be tried by the barbarian army, and I will definitely vote for him at that time, let him die so that he can no longer die, and avenge my dead family"

"It would be nice if the barbarians could come"

Everyone said, and some even looked forward to the arrival of the barbarian army

"Liu Gui, your family only has three days, and the evil young man only gave your family three days, if the tenant can't raise it, what can your family do?"

"It's a pity, in three days, the barbarian army is not there, if the barbarian army can reach our Huaxing County within these three days, maybe your family won't have to suffer so much, and we won't have to live a hard life anymore"

"Yes, when will the barbarian army come to our Huaxing County? Wish they had come sooner."

"Hope to come sooner"

Everyone chattered and discussed, with yearning on their faces, yearning for the barbarian army to be able to divide the fields, distribute money, food and weapons, and not have to starve and freeze again.

In the past, high-ranking officials and nobles will also be tried in public.

"We really don't know when he's coming, but if he doesn't come, can't we go find him?"

Liu Gui raised his head suddenly, and his words instantly stunned everyone present, with tangled expressions and uneasy.

After all, although they alone say that they are barbarians, in terms of official explanation, they are a group of rogues.

As an ordinary person, honest and honest, he actually went to contact the rogues privately, and contact with the rogues, once he was caught, it was a capital crime

"Liu Gui, what do you mean by this, do you want to find the barbarians, are you crazy, if the government knows about it, it is a capital crime, and you will be killed"

"Yes, yes, banditry is very dangerous."

When everyone heard Liu Gui's words, they were immediately frightened and hurriedly persuaded them.

To put it bluntly, they are just ordinary people after all.

"Kill the head?"

Liu Gui showed a wry smile and raised his head to look at the crowd, "Do you think there is any difference between our family and killing heads now?" ”

"It doesn't make any difference at all, if you can't get enough food in three days, my 7-year-old sister will be sent in, and even if you can survive this year, what if you don't have money next year? Is it true that our whole family will enter Washington as slaves and servants, and become servants and servants of their family for the rest of their lives? ”

"Also, isn't it the same in your family? This year, you still owe taxes, and if you don't have money, they will take away all your family's grain, and how will you farm next year if you don't have any grain?"

"Oh, by the way, you can borrow seeds from the Hua family, but borrowing to grow grain is equivalent to owing money, and by next year, you will have to repay double, or even a hundred times, and then there will be more and more, more and more, and in the end you can't afford to pay it back, and the fields will also be robbed, and many people in our village have fields and land, aren't they all robbed by the Hua family in the end?"

"Sooner or later, I'm going to die, why don't I fight?"

As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Brother Wang in front of him, and said word by word

"Brother Wang, I want to confirm that the barbarian army is really as good as you say, can he call the shots for our people?"

Brother Wang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his head and said word by word

"I don't know if the brutes are so good, but I do. They have indeed done nothing to us ordinary people. ”

"If you think about it, there is a shortage of war now, if it weren't for the good conditions at home, how could I come to you to visit my relatives, it's because there is no exploitation by high-ranking officials and nobles this year, and there is no oppression from the government, and all the food and things we grow belong to us, and we only hand over a little bit of it, so I can visit relatives and friends, I can swear, everything I said to you is true."

"Good"

Liu Gui raised his head, his face with a blue nose and swollen face showing a hard gaze, and looked at everyone

"You stretch out your head with a knife, and shrink your head with a knife, I decided to find the barbarian army, take the barbarian army to Huaxing County, and avenge our hatred. Would you like to do it with me?
