Dou'er Village is located in the middle of nowhere, and the road has been built in the past two years, and some news from outside can also be transmitted in.

The government is not a fool, it is inevitable that people will run away, and this kind of thing will not be publicized in a big way, except for the village where the strong man was arrested, no one in other villages has not received news.

It is said that the government guards the entrances and exits of the village, and no one is allowed to ventilate the news.

So the village chief and the patriarch don't know about it yet.

"Catch the strong man?"

The village chief yelled in disbelief, because he was too surprised, and stood up directly.

"Sit down, don't make a fuss" The patriarch snapped his cane hard and glared at him.

The village chief was so anxious that he was sweating, but instead of sitting down, he said anxiously: "Third uncle, where can I sit still, this is to catch the strong men, and there are two of them, if they are arrested, where can they stay alive?"

Compared with the village chief's anxiety, the old patriarch was much calmer and glared at him again.

"I heard it, I'm not deaf, let you sit down"

Under the pressure of the patriarch, no matter how anxious the village chief was, he could only press down and sit down obediently.

"Miss Xia, I don't know if this news is reliable?"

After the village chief sat down, the old patriarch looked at Bai Xia, who was sitting on the main seat.

The news was told to them by Bai Xia, because the government deliberately closed the news, and Dou'er Village had not yet received the news.

"The old patriarch can send someone out of the village to investigate, now each village is guarded by officials, and the truth of the news can be known at a glance."

The old patriarch looked at her deeply, and wanted to ask her where the news came from, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak, and left with the village chief.

Soon after the two left, several children of seven or eight years old left the village and went to several other villages.

Bai Xia is not in a hurry, the news is true, and he is not afraid of them to investigate.

The children are lively, but the small feet are slow, and they go out in the middle of the afternoon and come back close to the evening.

The village chief and the news they got were the same as what Bai Xia said, and the village chief immediately couldn't sit still, and hurriedly went to find the old patriarch.

The two talked in the room for a while, and then made an appointment to come to the summer house.

It's already night, and the two shouldn't have come to Bai Xia's girl's house, so as not to be gossiped about, but the matter is urgent, and they can't care so much.

"The reason why Miss Xia told us this news is that there is already a way to solve it?"

The two sat down at Bai Xia's house again, this time it was different from the morning, the two had already gotten the news and confirmed that the government was really arresting people, and even the old patriarch was not as calm as in the morning.

"Nope"

Bai Xia shook his head, the hearts of the village chief and the patriarch were half cold, and they heard her say again: "It's not ......"

Seeing that the eyes of the two of them were over, she continued to speak: "Xuzhou Thorn Shi is afraid that he will be opposed."

The two were stunned for a moment.

"So this group of people was arrested, they are rebels, if you don't want to go along with him, the best way is to resist, it depends on whether the two of you have the courage to do so"

There are not many people in Dou'er Village, but people are all conformists, once the people in Dou'er Village rebel, there will inevitably be a chain effect, and people from other villages will also rise up to resist.

The assassin of Xuzhou wanted to take the king of Jizhou as a vote, but it was the people of Xuzhou who suffered.

Although Xuzhou's troops are weak, it is not without an army, and it has not been fought at the moment, where are so many people needed.

It's just that the government has been arresting strong men since this time, and all they want is to fill in with human lives.

People were arrested, but relatives and friends were still in the hands of Xuzhou Thorn Shi, and they had to get from.

Even if you die, you can't take a step back.

"Rebels? Where is he opposed? ”

The village chief has been stunned by the word rebel, but the old patriarch still retains some sanity.

"Jizhou"

Bai Xia spit out these two words, and the old patriarch's cloudy old eyes kept turning.

"Is it the emperor's order?" Thinking that the matter of collecting grain tax was an order from the emperor, he subconsciously asked.

Bai Xia shook his head.

"It was his own idea"

The old patriarch's face changed, he was just an old farmer, except for knowing how to farm, he didn't know anything about national affairs, but he also knew that recruiting troops without the emperor's order was called hoarding, saying that they were rebels, there was no problem at all.

And he is so dignified, what are you going to do in Jizhou.

If he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't want to.

"It's easy to say, but we mud legs, where are the opponents of officials," the old patriarch smiled bitterly.

Thinking of those officials in the county government, a person is tall and big, and he can do some kung fu, where are they their opponents.

"As long as you listen to me, I can help you"

Bai Xia called them here just for this matter.

She doesn't want to watch the people of Dou'er Village die in vain, there is no male in her family, the only one Yu Dahai, when he faked his identity, he also made a deed of sale, and now he is a slave of the master's family, not in the list of arresting strong men.

"Good"

The old patriarch didn't ask much, and quickly agreed.

After a few more conversations, they left Bai Xia's house.

On September 23, a group of officers with ropes on their shoulders rode fast horses on the road to Dou'er Village.

There were about a dozen people, each of whom had a calm face and a murderous aura.

The horses were running fast, and the houses of Douer Village could already be seen in front of them.

"Stop"

The leader of the trapper stopped and looked at the empty field in front of him, his brow furrowed tightly.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Something isn't quite right"

The other catchers took a look at it several times, but they didn't find what the problem was, isn't it just a slightly more luxurious small village, what's wrong?

"Don't you think it's too quiet? Just after the autumn harvest, there should be a lot of villagers ploughing and hoeing in the fields, but there is no one in these fields."

The head catcher is about forty years old, and before he came out to be a head catcher, he was also an old farmer.

When I saw that there was no one in the surrounding fields, I felt that something was not right.

The other catchers looked at each other and found a problem.

It's kind of weird, indeed.

A few people rode horses, carefully observing, but when they reached the village, they did not find a single figure.

The doors of every house in the village are locked.

The whole village was empty.

On the other side, the cloth workshop on the mountain in the east of the village, where the people in the village were basically concentrated, a young man who inquired about the news ran back quickly and went directly to the largest house.

"Miss Xia, they are here, they are all carrying ropes, and they are riding horses, and now they are in the village."

Hearing this, Bai Xia turned his head to look at the fifty or so strong men who had already lined up.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready"

Everyone roared angrily, and morale was high.

As the main target of the government, they want to resist more than anyone else, Bai Xia gave them this opportunity, and also taught them some simple fighting skills, each holding a two-meter-long wooden stick in his hand, the stick is as thick as a baby's arm, and it is just right in his hand.

Hearing that the arresting officer was coming, everyone was ready to go.

It is also thanks to the fact that the cloth workshop was afraid that the noise would affect the villagers when it was built, so it was soundproofed so that their roar did not leak out, otherwise it would have been discovered by the officials in the village.
