Chapter 259: Swing the hoe
"The county lieutenant said that in the autumn, the tax paid is half less than last year, do you believe it?"
"I didn't think about it."
"I don't believe it."
The farmer who spoke was named Guan Amai, who sold the land he rented to the Song family a while ago, and now lives temporarily in the farmhouse of his friend Liu Cai in the same village.
The reason why he didn't believe Xue Bai was because his grandfather had been a fugitive before, and later Yuwen Rong included the household, and the imperial court had promised to "start the department in six years", that is, to exempt the newly settled farmers from taxation for six years, but the land in the third year had not yet been harvested, and it was heavily taxed by the imperial court.
Guan Amai remembered the deep wrinkles on Grandpa's face and sad eyebrows, but he couldn't tell what happened.
"If you have land, plant it." Liu Cai gnawed on his fingers, felt that his fingers had a salty taste, and sucked them, perhaps because the salt made him feel more energetic, and he muttered again, "I believe in the county lieutenant." ”
His grandfather originally wanted to name him Liu Cai, which means "keeping money", but the county official was too lazy to write, so he asked him to call him.
Guan Amai asked: "When the farming is free, do you go to the county to sell vegetables?" ”
In fact, Guan Amai did not spend the ten copper coins given by the Song family when he bought the land, but hid most of them and buried them under the dung heap in Liu Cai's backyard.
Suddenly, someone pushed the door open and entered.
Remember https://m in a second.
Guan Amai hurriedly got up and called, "Guo Thirty-five Lang." ”
"Liu Cai, do you know that you occupy the Guo family's land?!"
"I didn't ...... The county lieutenant divides mine..."
"Eat dog intestines, still here with me's 'county lieutenant and county lieutenant', lieutenant your mother, immediately hand over the lease deed given to you by the county bureau and get out!
"The ground was ploughed, and the seeds were sown......."
Liu Cai was still talking, and he was directly slapped and knocked to the ground.
Guo Thirty-five said: "You pee on the ground of the Guo family, do you want to say that the land is yours?!" ”
On the contrary, the steward of the Guo family who came with him was good, and stepped forward to help Liu Cai with a pleasant face, and said with a smile:
"My little Langjun is straightforward, in fact, he knows your difficulties, if you run out of food, go to Guo's house to help farm and ensure your family's survival."
These situations are completely beyond the scope of a farmer who has never seen the world can handle, Liu Cai is still stunned, and a copy of the deed has been handed to him.
"Let's draw a bet, you will still be in this kind of place in the future, and the Guo family will support you."
"I can't read.
"You want you to be fucking literate?!" Guo Thirty-five said impatiently: "Hurry up." ”
Guan Amai was more experienced, looked up, and saw that the Guo family had brought many parts, and there were many people. He nodded and slipped out, and said, "The villain has no field, no field." ”
Out of the house, he first rushed outside, hurried past the edge of the field, and grabbed a fellow villager who was also running in a panic.
"Ah Cai's mother-in-law and daughter in the weaving workshop? Tell them not to come back! ”
"The weaving mill is fighting, too!"
"What's wrong?"
"The big family catches the fugitive slaves, the fight starts, and the dead are all dead!"
Guan Amai was also in the weaving workshop because her own mother-in-law and children were also in the weaving workshop, and she suddenly became confused and asked, "Who died?" ”
"Xue Shuaitou didn't let the big family arrest people, and killed people......."
Guan Amai was a little relieved, his mother-in-law was ugly, and it should be fine.
He only felt that this situation was more and more like when Grandpa was suddenly urged to pay taxes, and the government changed again.
Fortunately, he had a good brain, and while the county lieutenant Xue was still there, he sold the field for a good price first.
In the dung field, pick up a hoe and plane.
When Guo Sanwulang led people to drag Liu Cai to the next house, he re-touched the hoe in the backyard of Liu Cai's house was forged by Xue County Lieutenant, which was particularly handy, and a deep pit was dug out after a while, and there was a sound of "ding", Guan Amai was afraid of hurting the hoe and copper coins, and he was not too dirty, so he dug directly with his hands and put forward a hemp bag.
He didn't care about anything else, so he ran away with a heavy amount of money.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, two sticks stretched out and tripped him, and it was a few Guo family members who stared at him for a long time.
Coins were scattered all over the place.
"Thirty-five Lang, there is a thief!"
"I'm not a thief...... It's my stuff.....
"Can it be yours that was dug up from my lord's field?"
"It's really mine, I sold the field, Steward Song gave it to me, I don't believe you asked him ....."
"You are also selling my lord's land, and the Song family steward is talking to Thirty-five Lang, and your lies will be exposed soon."
The Guo family members packed up the money and left.
Guan Amai hurriedly rushed over and hugged the cloth bag and shouted, "It's really my money!" Steward Song is there, you ask him! ”
Song Tianshou is talking with Guo Sanwulang about how to divide the land boundary, including how to distribute the wasteland newly cultivated by Xue Bai, and now the seedlings have emerged in the field, and the conversation is good and bad, and it can be ten thousand stone of grain a year.
Suddenly they heard the quarrel, and they all turned their heads to look.
Song Tianshou recognized that it was a farmer who spent money to buy rented land from him a while ago, and secretly said that although he was testing Xue Bai at that time, he bid quite high for Xue Bai's face, and in addition, Xue Bai did have the confidence to give farmers the confidence not to sell it without so much money.
At this point, it became a joke.
At this time, as long as Song Tianshou spoke, he might be able to get the money back, but he didn't want to delay talking to the Guo family about dividing the land.
"Let's continue to talk, the Guo family lured the wolf into the house, and now they still want to return to the original field, so don't touch the new field anymore.
"The Guo family has lost the most."
Guo Sanwulang's face became a little more serious, and he raised his hand and waved his hand, asking the subordinates to drive Guan Amai away, so as not to make a big deal about him.
"Oh my money! It's mine! ”
Don't make a noise, drag it out.
Guan Amai held the package and refused to let go, shouting: "Steward Song, the money you gave me ....."
But the more he shouted, the harder the Guo family dragged him down, and hit him on the head with a stick.
"Steward Song!"
Guan Amai couldn't care about the pain anymore, without the money, his family really had no way to live, so he held the coins and shouted Song Tianshou.
The sticks fell on him one by one, he really didn't understand, why was Steward Song so close that he refused to say a word for him?
"Steward Song......."
"Poof."
There was a muffled sound of the stick hitting the flesh, and Guan Amai forgot about the money in the end, only staring at the figure of Steward Song, wanting to see if he could turn back.
No.
He really didn't deserve to let the other party take a second look.
"Dead?"
"Jiri! Death does not let go. ”
"Buried it, he's a fugitive, who knows where he's gone.
Over there, Song Tianshou's face also became serious.
"The canal was repaired by Xue Bai with the Song family's money, and Xintian must be owned by the Song family!"
"That piece of land belonged to the Guo family fifty years ago." Guo Sanwulang shouted: "My family's ancestral grave is still on it!"
On the same day, Guan Amai was buried, not far from the field.
In the field, a wheat seedling also broke through the soil, and together with the soil that gave birth to it, it entered the homes of large households.
"The wheat sprouts are all out, why should we occupy our fields?!"
"This land is not yours!"
In the west of Huiguo Town, the resistance encountered by the big families of the Gaomen was unusually great, and the farmers of the Jimin Society who had been sheltered by Xue Bai for a winter gathered together and were very united.
"This place was originally a wasteland, because the county promised to open up the wasteland for the Song family, so the Song family paid to dig this canal. County Lieutenant Xue didn't make it clear to you, so he let you occupy the land. You are eating the grain from the Song family, and you are occupying the Song family's land, is it reasonable? Not to mention anything else, the canal hasn't been repaired yet, and now it's stopped, do you have water to water the ground in the summer?! ”
"It's useless to say anything, the big dog wants to rob our field, but it just can't work!"
"The county office has spoken, do you want to fight against the imperial court? Rebellion?!
"We want County Lieutenant Xue back!"
It was Song Mian and Guo Jian who brought people to occupy the area, but the two did not come forward to speak, but only watched from the carriage.
Song Mian was anxious to make meritorious service to the family and made a stand, and kept urging his subordinates to coerce the peasants.
Guo Jian was a little worried, looked up at the ancestral grave in the distance, and felt that he was too lazy to do anything for the family to encroach on the fields.
It's not that his morality has improved after following Xue Bai for a few days, but the damage in his heart has not healed.
Lately, he had been wondering, what was the use of doing all his best to make a profit for these people?
The so-called profit sharing interests, interests are the most changeable, and the relationship between interests is the most unreliable...... This is something that I know about it after experiencing it myself.
In the past, he always thought that after his death, those mansions and money could be left to his wife and children, no, they were swallowed up in a blink of an eye, and the first to swallow were the relatives in the family who had received the most help from him.
Suddenly, the loud shouts pulled Guo Jian out of his contemplation.
"Come on, fight!"
"Do you know that this is a rebellion?!"
"Kill me!"
In the Jimin Society, the loudest shouter was a farmer named Zhao Yuliang, who was still a farmer at this time, but he was standing beside Xue Xian and stretched his head towards those parts.
"If you have the ability, give me a moment!"
With a sickle in his hand, he protected Zhao Yuliang's side, and shouted, "Which one dares to move?!"
Their momentum is not weak, but it makes the other side hesitate.
"Why don't you teach these people a lesson?"
Song Mian saw that there were more than 100 big men on the opposite side, and unlike the peasants next to him, he asked Guo Lian, "What does Guo Lushi say?" ”
"There's no hurry." Guo Jian said: "After cutting off their water and surrounding them for a few days, they will naturally be deflated." ”
The two then left their parts behind and temporarily returned to the county seat to negotiate with everyone.
The big families on the side, such as the Cui family and the Zheng family, also paid to share the Guo family's land, and now they want to return it to the Guo family, so they naturally have to make up for the losses, so they have been very busy in the past two days. The Cui family occupied a few acres of land on the south bank of Yishui today, which they had wanted to occupy for a long time, but it was delayed because of Xue Baiqing's acres of land.
If Xue Bai really invited the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to come forward, they would have to settle the matter of the fields as soon as possible, and then the law would not blame the public, and they could only recognize that the land was theirs.
However, I didn't expect to encounter the united resistance of the Jemin Society.
"This matter can't be delayed any longer, it will make Diao people follow suit."
"It's simple, each family gathered their tribes and pressed them all at night."
"Is it necessary?" Guo Jian said, "According to the usual method, it will be ..... to spend more time."
"Today, Xue Xian killed people in the weaving workshop, I'm afraid he will increase his momentum."
"What about the Caogong? Caogong is all towards Xue Bai. ”
"It's busy on the canal, halfway there. There are also many who have been assigned to reclamation, and those who are Diao today are often former laborers. The rest of the county magistrates will be personally appeased, nothing more than willing to spend money. ”
"Fortunately, Xue Bai's time here is still short."
"Let's do it quickly. There are more than 100 villains, and each family has sent more than 100 parts to win it in the past. ”
"The ground is sprouting, don't step on the ground...."
At night, Zhao Yuliang turned over, couldn't fall asleep, and simply sat up.
This movement alarmed the basin.
Brother Yuliang? What's wrong?
"I heard that the county order burned the field book, can this field still be kept?"
"Just wait for the county lieutenant to come back." Basin rubbed her eyes and muttered nonchalantly.
Zhao Yuliang whispered: "Can the county lieutenant really come back?" I'm telling you, a lot of people don't know the bottom of their hearts. ”
"Definitely, Xue Bantou, Qu Shuai, and Brother A Yi are still in the weaving workshop."
Maybe it's because Pen'er is still a child, so it's easier to trust people, so she said in a natural tone: "When the county lieutenant comes back, I will cure these corrupt officials and bad gentry." ”
Zhao Yuliang actually believed it, his mother-in-law was still in the weaving workshop, and if his mother-in-law was fine, he would be able to get out.
"Okay, let's sleep."
They lay down to sleep, when they heard a movement outside.
"Which?!"
Hold it all down!
The next moment, a group of black shadows with wooden sticks rushed in and swung their sticks at the people in the room.
"Call you arrogant!"
The subordinates are good at teaching Diao people like this, they know how to hit the most painful without killing people, and they are very hard to use their sticks.
Suddenly, there was a loud cry of pain.
The first thing Zhao Yuliang did was to hold the basin, block him under him, and use his back next to those sticks.
"Jiri!" Pen'er roared, "Beat me again and kill you!"
He's been on the docks, and he's bloodier than these peasants.
"Stop fighting!"
Zhao Yuliang cried and said, "We were wrong...... Don't fight, we'll hand over the field...... Katsuta...."
He had a hoe at hand, but there were so many of them that he didn't dare to pick it up and swing it.
The peasants had no choice but to agree to hand over the deed, and the sticks stopped.
"Kaeda! Get out!"
Zhao Yuliang got up with difficulty, and a figure had already rushed out, but it was a basin.
"Who dares to take our fields?!"
Pen'er screamed angrily, and the dagger in his hand had been stabbed on the thigh of a ministry, which was the method he learned from Ren Mulan to kill people.
But he couldn't see the figure clearly at night, and he was not intimidated by his child, but in pain, he swung his stick and smashed him to the ground.
"Basin!"
Zhao Yuliang was furious, and picked up the hoe and smashed it.
Something warm splashed him in the face, and the scene finally got out of hand.
At this moment, Zhao Yuliang killed someone in anger, no longer just a farmer, he himself was stunned there.
Basin wiped her tears and stood up, as if she didn't know that someone was dead, and shouted: "Our field, don't let it!" ”
"Murdered!"
"Those people are in trouble!"
Youbu hurriedly ran to the county seat, and hurriedly stepped on the wheat field that had just emerged.
Soon, more parts were sent.
This kind of chaos has not happened before, and the officials and gentry who have made trouble in the whole village have also seen it, and it is nothing more than to beat these people to be afraid.
"Eat dog intestines and make trouble under my family's ancestral grave."
Guo Thirty-five Lang was also awakened, the Guo family had sent more than 200 fields of the tribes over, but they thought that they were dealing with some lowly peasants, and there was no master in charge, so the tribes couldn't let go. Therefore, he needs to calm the situation and tell the subordinates that they can fight to the death.
"In the past, this kind of thing was done by Uncle Juan, but now Ah Weng has explained it to me, it's really ......"
Lang Jun should work harder, I think you should be the recorder of the county office in the future. ”
"I'm afraid that Song Mian will fight with me, but I don't think he can look down on the county office to do things........"
I took some of the housekeepers out of Guo Town, and soon it was Xintian, and there was a shout over there.
Guo Sanwulang couldn't help but be furious when he heard the movement, and shouted: "The stick is soft, isn't it?" If you don't stop them tonight, you will be even more lawless. Go and tell them to beat these people hard, and they are not afraid of the dead! ”
"Yes!"
This new field is on higher ground, and you can see Luoshui to the east, from which the canal is drawn.
At this time, a few family members turned their heads to look, and saw that there was a fire on Luoshui, and there were people holding torches walking along the canal.
"What's that?"
"Do you want to moor at night?"
"No, this is not a dock, there is nothing but Nitta."
Guo Thirty-five Lang was curious, and hurried a few steps forward, and saw that there were probably less than ten people coming from the opposite side.
He then asked aloud, "Which one?" Are you also here to help suppress the Diao people? ”
"What Diaomin?"
"Diao Min, who occupied my family's new field before, will tell you first that this land belongs to my family, and my family's ancestral grave is on the mountain in the north.
As they spoke, they got closer, and they could already see the oil dripping from time to time on their torches.
One of them asked, "How are you going to occupy the land?" ”
"If you don't listen to persuasion, you will be killed!"
Guo Sanwulang crossed his hands on his waist, feeling majestic, as if he had the style of the lord of a county.
Later, he realized that Fang Cai's voice was familiar.
"Ask for so long, which family are you talking about, isn't it that the Song family wants to occupy an area again? No, you won't be..."
He suddenly remembered something, and subconsciously stretched his head, trying to see clearly who was coming in the night.
Sure enough, under the light of the torch, a handsome and disgusting face gradually appeared.
It's Xue Bai.
The strange thing is that Xue Bai pretended to be sick and left for so long, and he didn't bring any high-ranking officials from the imperial court, and there was no Jin Wuwei they said, or only those few guards, how could they still come from the east?
"County Lieutenant Xue, you dare to go back...."
"Killed."
"Poof."
Before Guo Sanwulang finished speaking, a cold light flashed in the night, and the sound of breaking wind rose, and his neck had been rudely split.
Blood gushed out and sprinkled on the ground beneath his feet.
Some of the parched earth was silent, quickly sucking up the blood, still silent, and the people fought over it, and the land remained silent, and it took thousands of years to dissolve everything.
Accommodating, but also disdainful.
Xue Bai wanted to solve the problem of land, but he couldn't be so tolerant.
He got some prestige by getting rid of Gao Chong, but it was not enough, the officials and gentry of Yanshi County obviously did not have enough awe of him, and even his policy of liquidating the household registration of the acres of land had to be obstructed, and he had not yet begun to suppress mergers and change the tax system, and only planned to let Yintian pay taxes.
Either because these officials and gentry were resolutely unwilling to change, or because they were not afraid of him enough........ they had to use whatever methods were effective, regardless of the consequences.
Without bloodshed, it is not enough to change.
Zhao Yuliang brandished his hoe and gradually forgot his fear.
He didn't care that the other party had more people than here, he just thought that it would be good if he could hold the field, otherwise their family would definitely not survive this winter.
But there was still a sense of despair in his heart that he was about to lose his field, because this was not the first time he had lost it.
The last time was because of the arrears, he borrowed five times from someone when Tianbao was in arrears for three years, and used the field as collateral, but he didn't expect to repay it for three years, and the more he repaid it, the more he repaid, and after the three-year harvest was filled in, his field was lost.
Blind by this name, in fact, there is no surplus food in his life, and his mother-in-law scolded him for "born unable to keep the life of wealth!"
Last winter, if it weren't for the Xue County Wei Jimin Society to take in their family, they would have had to sell their little daughter, not that he didn't feel sorry for his daughter, but that the family was dying of hunger, and only the little daughter could sell it at a high price.....
At this time, recalling the feelings of thinking about these things at that time, Zhao Yuliang felt that there was a knife in his heart.
"Damn! My field!"
"Kill him! Kill a leader, and Diao Min will be honest! ”
As someone shouted like this in the trilogy, all the sticks beckoned to Zhao Yuliang and beat him to death.
Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "I'm the one who takes the lead, come and kill me!" ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see more than a dozen people coming with torches.
The tribes were still stunned, but the peasants had already heard who it was.
"The county lieutenant is here!"
"The county lieutenant is here!"
Walking in front were Lao Liang and Jiang Hai, they really dared to kill people with knives, and they were so frightened that those tribes got out of the way.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Lao Liang opened his mouth but scolded the peasants.
"The county lieutenant will feed and drink you all winter, so that you can nourish your fat. I made you agricultural tools with iron, but you didn't have them? Let people take a stick and beat like this? Rubbish! ”
The peasants looked up and saw that Xue Bai had also come, but with a cold face, no longer as gentle as usual.
"County Lieutenant." They shouted aggrievedly.
"Does shouting work?! The county lieutenant has given you the field, do you want to keep an eye on it all the time? ”
Jiang Hai also scolded, stepped forward, snatched the hoe from Zhao Yuliang's hand, and walked towards the subordinates who were still retreating because he was frightened.
Without saying a word, a hoe swung out and smashed directly on the head of a leading part.
"Bang!"
It's hard to kill someone, but it's that simple in Jiang Hai's hands.
Everyone around was frightened.
Basin clenched his fists, scared and excited, just now he stabbed people with a dagger, what he wanted was such momentum.
"Rob?!"
Lao Liang stepped forward and shouted: "The county lieutenant asked you to wait for you to retreat, and those who do not retreat will be regarded as attacking officials, and they will be killed!" ”
"What are you still doing? Kill it! ”
Zhao Yuliang was feeling ashamed, and when he heard this, he picked up a shovel and rushed up to beat it with a shout.
The shovel smashed through the body of the man who had bullied him, and the blood flowed into his field, and he suddenly felt relieved. As long as he can keep this field, he will not have to sell his little daughter again.
"Grab the field? Come on!"
Xue Bai finally saw the light of the iron weapon waving.
This is different from the last time Cao Gong was enveloped, Cao Gong got the promise, and it depends on him that he is on the same side as the official gentry. In other words, that little money is not enough to make people fight against the gentry or the master of the entire Yanshi.
Gotta give land.
Using a few Hu cakes to bribe the displaced people to go to Lishan to assassinate them, that is to send people to death. He has to give the field, so that people can settle down, let people know what they are guarding, and those who have constant production have perseverance, which is the most firm strength to support him in the future.
Xue Bai went crazy.
Late at night, Lu Linghao hurried to the county office, and on the way put forward many of his opinions on these matters.
"Isn't it just dozens of hectares? There's no need, he must send it to those farmers? How many acres are coming. ”
Just listen to this kind of talk, in fact, Lu Linghao knows best, this is a matter of the power of the county office, and it is a matter of who compromises first between Xue Bai and the big households.
"He lacks a root in his head, and he doesn't do things lightly or seriously. It's like a madman has a lot of strength, a truth, this kind of person is very ruthless, and he has to avoid it...... Oh, what about the noble ones? ”
"I'm going to Luoyang."
"Quick, send a fast horse overnight to tell him the news."
"Whoa."
Lu Linghao hurried to the government office, only to see that all the big families had already gathered in front of the office.
Leading everyone to the lobby to sit down, he waved his hand and calmed everyone's emotions.
"You're in a hurry. In a hurry, won't you be led away? Now that Xue Bai is back, he will not grab the field for the time being, and continue to cut the meat with a soft knife in the original method. I have been working with Guo Lu for many years, when did I provoke a civil uprising. ”
"Don't use force again, invite Xue Bai back to the county office to discuss matters, and be polite on your face. If you don't listen to him, you cut off the water source and spend some money to win over those people, won't you stop making trouble? ”
"Mrs. Guo, don't cry first, it's true that Guo Sanwulang is dead, but can you still declare a personal vendetta? If you really fight, if something happens to your old man, he will have the final say. Slowly theorizing, are you still afraid of him? ”
"He is angry and impulsive, and he is covered by nobles behind him, and it is most unwise to clash with him head-on."
Lu Linghao didn't need to explain this further, Gao Chong was easily provoked by Xue Bai, and in addition he was involved in a major case of rebellion, the fierce conflict lost the advantage of the local snake. And Lu Linghao, as the county commander, behaves upright, sits upright, and can deal with the clans calmly.
Xue Bai was there, and they jointly squeezed out; Xue Bai fled, and they took advantage of it; When Xue Bai came back, it was nothing more than continuing to squeeze out. How can you mess up because the other party is gone.
After some pacification, all the gentry calmed down, agreed to go home, and treated it as if nothing had happened.
Nothing happened, but some villagers fought for land and made a commotion, and Xue County Lieutenant went over to deal with it. No one died, and there was no fire in the county, except for Guo Sanwulang, who died, just to take advantage of this incident to pinch Xue Bai.
At the end, Lu Linghao said: "Don't worry, we are the rules in Yanshi County." The rules of the world will be broken occasionally, but they will not be defeated, and no one can defeat the rules. ”
It was Lu Linghao's staff member Yuan Yiheng who was sent out to see Xue Bai.
He walked through the queue of farmers holding iron tools, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It feels like you're not facing a farmer, but a thief.
Finally, seeing that Xue Bai was still wearing that cyan official uniform, Yuan Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief.
In his eyes, the official uniform represents the rules, and as long as Xue Bai still abides by the rules, everything is easy to say.
"I've seen the county lieutenant. Tonight, the villagers made a disturbance, but thanks to the timely arrival of the county lieutenant, the unrest was stopped. ”
"In this way, I still have merit?" Xue Bai's expression was calm, and there was a smile on his face.
Yuan Yiheng smiled and said: "Of course there is merit, the county commander wants to repay the county lieutenant, and there is also some misunderstanding to apologize to the county lieutenant, why don't you go back to the county office and talk about it?" ”
"Weak."
"What?"
"The common disease of those who have vested interests and have enjoyed wealth for a long time, you are too soft, and you are not as tough as the Gao brothers."
Yuan Yiheng was very embarrassed, and secretly said that Xue Bai's face-to-face criticism was too much. He was exquisite, and he could still pick up the words, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, it's quite ambitious, and in terms of profound heritage, it has to be a county order."
If you replace "heritage" with "cheek", it is actually very accurate.
Xue Bai knew what Lu Linghao's means were, and said, "It's okay, let's go back to the county office and talk." I need to bring these farmers along and talk about their fields. ”
"This ..... afraid that the county office can't accommodate it."
"It's okay, they're not squeamish, just stand."
Yuan Yiheng had no choice but to send someone to ask Lu Linghao to lead these more than 100 peasant households into the city at night, but he still had to be prepared to avoid aggravating the conflict.
Xue Bai was about to set off, when a small figure hurriedly came, it was Ren Mulan.
"County Lieutenant!"
Ren Mulan came from the weaving workshop, still panting, and couldn't wait to say: "The county lieutenant is back, let's kill them......"
When Yuan Yiheng heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he was really a little frightened by this little girl's ruthlessness.
Xue Bai looked relaxed and took Ren Mulan to the side to speak.
"County Lieutenant, as soon as you are not there, the big dog family will send evil servants to rob people, saying that there are a few slaves and maids in the weaving workshop that they have escaped, and the deed has been taken out. Fortunately, Xue Bantou brought a few guys to stop him, otherwise he would have been snatched away by them, and the county lieutenant would have to teach them a hard lesson......
As he was talking, someone from the county office over there had come to report, and the county order promised to let Xue Bai take the farmers to the county office to talk.
"Talk?"
Ren Mulan thought that tonight would be like last time, and even more ruthless, but she didn't expect the battle to start, and the weapons were all raised, so she still had to talk?
She couldn't help but be anxious, and said, "County lieutenant, you can't be deceived." They promised to be good, and when you are gone, you will grab land and people again, no matter how you talk about it, they will not repent..."
Even a little girl knows this.
Xue Bai didn't seem to know, and said, "Don't worry, wait for me to go to the county office first." ”
"How can you not be in a hurry? County Lieutenant, you didn't see what they wanted to do when they came to the weaving mill. Ren Mulan almost cried, unconsciously waving the knife in her hand when she spoke, and said hurriedly: "When I grabbed the territory, I vented in one breath, but I was going to lose." ”
The knife was bloody.
Xue Bai was still too lazy to explain to her, and said casually: "I'll go to the county office first." ”
After saying that, he walked towards the night, and Ren Mulan turned her head to look, for fear that this Xue County Lieutenant would also be devoured.
The local clan power is like water, flowing silently, but it can often drown people.
The Luo River flowed slowly, and at the same time, a large ship docked.
In the darkness came an ordinary young man, and then there were a succession of figures.
"Hu Laishui, you lead the way......
