Before Jiang Long and others arrived at the place where ditches were dug for watering the farmland, they saw a group of people standing or lying down in the distance, forming several small circles, chatting and laughing and guarding the river.
These people were holding wooden sticks, shovels and other murderous weapons in their hands.
No need to ask, these people must be the evil servants in the Anlehou Mansion.
"Tudu." Jiang Long picked up the horse's reins, stopped, and ordered with a cold face: "Take a few guards and go to the east to cut off their retreat. Remember, after waiting for the meeting to take action, no one is allowed.
Let go."
The river comes from the west and goes to the east. The farm of Anlehou Mansion is located on the east side.
Compared with the farm in Jingfu, the farm in Anlehou Mansion is located downstream of the river.
"yes!"
Tu Ying responded, took a few guards with him, and took a detour.
"Gantiback." Jiang Long said again.
Gundyback, who was as black as ink with only one white tooth, responded respectfully: "Young man is here."
"Take a few guards and go to the west to intercept them. We will start to beat them hard later. I think some people will panic and run upstream."
"Yes, if anyone dares to run towards me, I guarantee that nothing will be missed here."
After Guntyback finished speaking, he took a few guards with him.
Next, Jiang Long pointed at the surrounding farmland, as if he was talking to everyone, but did not immediately lead anyone forward.
The servants in the Anlehou Mansion also saw Jiang Long and others. Although they saw a young man wearing a brocade shirt at the front of the team, and there were many guards from the Jing Mansion among them, they had treated the Jing Mansion in these years.
The farms nearby are used to being bullied.
Moreover, they were of low status and did not really know how powerful Jingfu's guards were, so they remained there confidently and did not let the tenant farmers in Jingfu Farm go there to dig canals and water the farmland.
Anlehoufu's farm is downstream, and a canal has been dug at Jingfu Farm, so the water level downstream will definitely be lower. When the water level is low, the river flows slowly. In this way, when watering the fields, it will
It will take more time.
If it is too slow, the sowing date may even be delayed.
Among the servants of the Anlehou Mansion, some were bolder and would even raise their fingers and point at Jiang Long and laugh a few words from time to time.
Seeing someone on the opposite side laughing and joking in their direction, the guards knew that those people must not have anything nice to say.
This was a slight and insult to his young master, and it was considered to have touched the bottom line of Jingfu's guards.
Some people narrowed their eyes and pressed the handle of the knife with their big hands.
After a while, I saw that Tudu and Gundybak were almost in place.
Jiang Long sneered in his heart, suddenly waved his hand, and said sternly: "Come up and hit them hard! Give them a good beating!" After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Don't make a fuss yet.
Human lives.”
The dozen or so remaining guards responded loudly, then spurred their horses and whips, roared, and rushed forward like a gust of wind.
The servants of the Anlehou Mansion obviously did not expect that the Jing Mansion would be so tough this time.
In the past, Jingfu Farm would only beg pitifully.
Even if there are tough men, they just talk the talk and don't dare to fight back.
So their reaction was a little slow. Some people were lying on the ground with their eyes closed and pretending to sleep. Before they could react, Jingfu guards rushed into the crowd on horseback.
Infantry was no match for cavalry in the first place, not to mention that the servants in the Anlehou Mansion were just a bunch of rabble.
They can't be considered soldiers because they have never been on the battlefield.
It was possible for them to bully the honest and honest tenant farmers who did not dare to fight back, but when they encountered the angry guards of the Jing Mansion who were full of iron-blooded murderous aura, their combat effectiveness was down by more than one or two notches.
Trample, collide!
As if they were on the battlefield, the Jingfu guards charged head-on and passed through the group of people.
Then he stopped his horse, turned around, and charged again for the second time.
If in the first round of charge, there were bold slaves on the side of Anlehou Mansion to fight back, then in the second charge, as long as the servants on Anlehou Mansion were still standing, they were scattered in all directions.
And escaped.
The guards of the Jing Mansion were careful in their attacks, and no one was killed.
But if you are hit by a tall horse or stepped on by a humble horse, even if you don't die, you will still be seriously injured.
Seeing that the guards of the Jing Mansion organized the second round of charge, the servants of the Anlehou Mansion threw away the sticks and shovels in their hands. They only regretted that their parents had given them two legs and ran away like crazy.
But how can two legs run faster than four legs?
After two rounds of charges, there was only a wailing sound.
Without Jiang Long's instructions, deputy captain Jiang Jun ordered the guards to dismount and drag all the wounded who were lying on the ground moaning in pain together.
After a while, Tudu and Gundybak dragged several fishes together and gathered them together.
It wasn't until the battlefield was cleaned up that Tian Dazhuang, Zheng Zhi, and Yang Qiang came to their senses.
Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang were shocked and turned pale.
They didn't expect that Jiang Long, who looked harmless and even a little weak, would be so ruthless in his attacks.
He directly knocked down all the servants in Anlehou's mansion.
And every one of them was seriously injured.
Recalling the ferocious and unscrupulous manner in which the guards of the Provincial Palace had charged, trampled, and violently slashed the servants of the Anlehou Mansion with the backs of their steel swords, Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang both became confused.
Trembling.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, which made the two people's faces lose all color.
Tian Dazhuang clenched his fists with excitement on his face!
When he came to dig canals and water the fields and argue with them, he was chased and beaten by the servants of the Anlehou Mansion. The sticks whistled in the wind, and the blows on his body were painful!
The other party didn't hold back even a little bit.
Looking back now, Tian Dazhuang always felt a dull pain in his back.
Seeing his fierce opponent in the past lying on the ground with injuries or blood, moaning in pain, Tian Dazhuang felt extremely excited.
Clenching his fists tightly and looking at some of the faces, he couldn't help but take action.
"Young Master, there are a total of forty-eight people here in the Anlehou Mansion." Jiang Jun came over to report.
Jiang Long frowned after hearing this, "Don't they need to cultivate the land or do anything? Send so many people to guard the mouth of the canal on the river bank?"
"Young man, let's go and question him."
After a while, Jiang Jun came back with a strange look on his face, "Back to the young master, after questioning, I found that these people are not tenant farmers at all, but ruffians taken in by the Anlehou Mansion in the capital and nearby farms. Once the Anlehou Mansion
If any disputes arise, they will come forward to resolve them."
Jiang Long understood clearly that these people were basically thugs raised by the Anlehou Mansion!
Chai Shirong once said that when Concubine Yue was a favorite, the Anlehou Mansion was rampant in the capital.
Oppressing the people and robbing the women of the people, such things were done frequently.
Moreover, it is said that the Anlehou Mansion was only ten acres in size at the beginning, but after Concubine Yue became favored, only two years later, the land area of the Anlehou Mansion doubled, to about twenty acres.
.
The neighboring houses were all forcibly annexed by Anlehou.
And these scoundrels and scoundrels lying on the ground in front of them are the minions at the forefront when Anlehou oppresses the good.
In this case, it would be a shame for these people to die.
Jiang Long was riding on horseback, condescendingly looking at these gangsters with cold eyes, and suddenly asked: "Tian Dazhuang, this group of people killed five fellow villagers in our farm back then. Who did it? How can you still do it now?"
Can you identify it?"
"Of course!" Thinking of the past, Tian Dazhuang's anger rose in his heart. Because he was too angry, his tone was a little disrespectful when facing Jiang Long.
"You go into the crowd and pick them out."
"yes."
After Tian Dazhuang responded, he roared and rushed into the crowd, "You Da, You Er, You Wu, you three brothers are also here today?"
Three strong men were dragged out of the crowd by Tian Dazhuang.
"Da Zhuang, we three brothers have no choice but to do it." You Da didn't dare to struggle and resist, but just begged loudly.
You Er also said: "If we don't take action, the Marquis will skin us."
"I deserve to have your skin peeled off, you all deserve to die!" Tian Dazhuang's eyes turned red, "Now do you know how to beg for mercy?
Back then, when I knelt down and kowtowed, begging you to spare the boss of the Lan family... he was still a child, and he didn't even have a wife. You tied him up just because he secretly dug the mouth of the canal at night to water the fields.
Beaten to death!"
You Da You Er wanted to beg for mercy, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
They still remember the day Tian Dazhuang kowtowed to them for mercy, breaking his scalp.
His forehead was bruised and stained with blood.
It's just that back then, they never imagined that today would happen.
"You are beating and cursing angrily..." Tian Dazhuang couldn't continue, and big tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
"Big brother and second brother, please don't plead with him. We three brothers don't have to be afraid at all! We, the eldest, are from the Anlehou Mansion. The Jing Mansion was very powerful back then, but what does it matter now? I don't believe they dare to do anything to us.
!" You San had a dark face and an unusually strong body.
His arms can be as thick as the thighs of an average adult, like a bull. He was injured just now, but the injury was not serious. Although he is the youngest among the three brothers, he is the most ferocious and physically strong.
.
"Youwu!"
Tian Dazhuang stared at him with eyes wide open and teeth gnashing.
After hearing what their younger brother said, You Da and You Er felt that it was useless to simply beg for mercy, so they had to be more forceful, and they yelled one after another.
"Let us go quickly!"
"We are from the Anlehou Mansion. You are miserable. You dare to attack us. When the Marquis finds out, he will definitely not spare you!"
After hearing the shouts of the three You brothers, some other servants of the Anlehou Mansion, most of whom had good relations with the three You brothers, also started shouting at the top of their lungs.
Some asked them to be let go, while others threatened them.
"Waiting for revenge from the Marquis!"
"Let us go!"
"Once the Marquis gets angry, you will be dead."
"Now let us go obediently, and use some money to compensate us. I will put in a few good words for you in front of the Marquis."
"If you don't let us go, you will really be dead!"
"No one in heaven or on earth can save you!"
In the midst of this noisy shouting, Jiang Long's emotionless voice suddenly sounded, "Tie up You Da and You Er."
