"This world! After all, it is our world! No matter who comes, you can't be unreasonable, right? Our land was purchased reasonably and legally by our ancestors for generations." He put the teacup in his hand aside and looked at the few.
A landowner who came to mourn, Liu Yuan, the largest landowner in the area, said unhurriedly.
Recently, the state of Zheng has changed. Those who originally lived under the wings of Zheng have become frightened. They are eager to get a guarantee from the new ruler, a guarantee that can continue to make them rich and safe.
Several big landowners who own land look at me and I look at you, they are all a little embarrassed. Who can sit here and don't know whose family's affairs?
The ancestors of these people may have been really diligent in the beginning, relying on primitive accumulation to get rich. But later on, when they got rich, whose family didn't have some dirty things?
They took advantage of the bad times and used some shady means to do unspeakable things, destroying the families of some people who were unwilling to hand over their land...
Therefore, when they hear the words "reasonable" and "legal", they instinctively feel a little frightened.
"Don't look at me like that, everyone... This new 'parent official' has no time to pay attention to what we did before, and he is unlikely to care about how we live our lives in the future." Liu Yuan glanced at these timid people.
Rat's followers sneered and said.
"But, you all know that parents and officers need to be filial to us." He paused for a few seconds, then offered a price: "2,000 gold coins per person! I think the new parents are too lazy to do that.
Ignore the cries and howls of those unruly people."
There were almost 10 people present, and they all took out 20,000 gold coins in one go, which was considered a large sum of money in Zheng State.
After all, they are just landlords who rely on farming to make profits. To be honest, even if they were sold, they probably wouldn't have the courage to pay bribes like Datang Group.
When they heard that they had to pay again, these people all started to feel sick. Zheng Guo had exploited them once before for the so-called rich country and strong army. At that time, in order to deal with errands, each of them had to pay 500 yuan.
of gold coins.
It's good now. In just a few days, the Zheng Kingdom will be finished. They have to prepare another filial piety for the new rulers. This really makes them very uncomfortable.
Outside Liu's house, several trucks slowly stopped. The doors were pushed open. A platoon leader jumped out of the car. He put one hand on the holster on his waist and the other on his forehead.
Ritou looked at the plaque on the door.
Soon, in the car behind, a group of worried farmers also got out of the car, and a few of them were lying on the side of the road, retching.
It is really rare for farmers in Zheng State to have ridden in a car, so it is completely normal for them to get motion sickness and vomit after getting off the car.
The remaining farmers were all pale, some were really motion sick, dizzy and uncomfortable, and some were frightened - for them, this place was almost the same as the Palace of Hell.
The young official who came before did not tell them that he had come to report the evil deeds of the local squire and landlord and that he would follow up and confront them.
At that time, they only said that there would be rewards for reporting, and the family would provide rice, flour, grain and oil... Those who had the courage to complain actually got the supplies, so everyone went to complain one after another.
result……
"What are you afraid of? We are here to make decisions for you. As long as what you tell the truth, I will redress your grievances today!" Seeing his soldiers jumping out of the car one after another, the platoon leader
He immediately gained momentum when he spoke.
No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still afraid of kitchen knives. His soldiers are all killers with guns, and they are not the opponents that a few guards from the families of these landlords and squires can compete with.
"I...I...I'm talking nonsense..." A farmer swallowed, thinking that he could give back the little junk he got.
In his opinion, provoking Liu Yuan is much more terrifying than provoking the government. By then, his whole family may not even be alive.
"Yes, yes! This, this master... I, I was actually greedy for gain and said nonsense... This, this Mr. Liu... N, that is... he is a good man." Another old man
He also backed down and explained cautiously.
"Young man! Are you really making false accusations?" The platoon leader who came here to handle the matter sneered: "Think clearly before you speak... If you really give up this opportunity... the hatred you will have and the suffering you will suffer,
I have suffered a loss and been wronged... I have no place to talk about it in this life..."
Those few people held it in for a long time and did not dare to say anything more. It was not that they had not struggled before, nor had they not seen others struggle. But the government and the local tyrants and evil gentry worked together to play the untouchables like them over and over again.
Once again, they have suffered enough misfortunes, how can they have the courage to struggle again?
"It seems that these people are really a deterrent. They make you lose the courage to fight back, but they have the courage to trick me into wasting gas and running for nothing..." Seeing more and more people retreating, this
The platoon leader also had to look down.
"Sir!" A woman finally stood up. She looked at the cowardly villagers and said in a trembling tone: "My family's grievances are enough to be repaid by that old immortal Liu Yuan! I am not afraid of death! I only ask you.
Let's do business first and provide justice to my family of seven!"
She stared at the platoon leader leading the troops, gritted her teeth and said, "If your Excellency gets involved in an affair with Liu Yuan, I will turn into a ghost and come to you to find out!"
"Hahahaha!" When the platoon leader heard the woman's threat, he wasn't angry or annoyed. Instead, he laughed loudly: "Come with me! Today is a good day for revenge."
He pointed at the sky: "The sun is just right! This world must be bright! There must be light! If it's pitch black, wouldn't it be meaningless?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered with great anger: "Let's go! Find someone to reason with!"
The soldiers carrying the guns laughed twice. They were very familiar with this routine. In the past, on those islands full of bandits, they had to take turns to complete the liquidation work.
In their view, these things that should not exist within the Datang Group's territory are all unreasonable. Only by completely eliminating these things can the world become as beautiful as Bunas and Dragon Island.
As a result, soldiers holding .45-caliber truths beat the door of Liu's mansion, and behind them, more soldiers carrying K3 truths were ready for a "debate."
The side door was opened, and a concierge stuck his head out impatiently. In his opinion, knocking on the door directly was a very impolite thing.
This is the Liu Mansion, and even the city lord has to be polite when he comes - isn't 60% of the land with a radius of a hundred miles the property of Mr. Liu?
But before he could scold him, a hand pressed on his face and pushed him down into the yard.
The porter stumbled, and then he saw clearly that the man on the opposite side, with an iron pot on his head, had rushed into the yard.
The policemen who came in moved the door bolt directly from the inside with such deft movements, and then more soldiers walked in surrounded by an official.
"How majestic!" The platoon leader, walking among his soldiers with his hands behind his back, looked left and right, full of curiosity about this majestic mansion.
He really didn't expect to see a place like a paradise in such a place where people are hungry, people are in dire straits, and bandits are rampant.
As a night school graduate who received higher education at the Datang Military Academy, everything here made him instinctively disgusted.
This was completely different from the prosperity of Bunas. This kind of castle in the air seemed to be built on numerous bones. In his opinion, it exuded a rotten stench.
"Who! Dare to act wild in the Liu Mansion! Are you looking for death?" A guard rushed out. He was startled when he saw these soldiers he had never seen before, and then he was knocked to the ground by the oncoming rifle butt.
.
"How can you hit people casually?" The person who was beaten covered his nose and immediately became reasonable.
"That's him!" The woman following the platoon leader suddenly seemed to be stimulated and stepped forward desperately, trying to fight the reasonable nurse who was covering the bridge of her nose.
A soldier stopped her. While struggling, the woman shouted with all her strength: "It's him! He led his men to beat my man to death! He threw my son to the ground! It's him! It's him!"
The nurse who was holding her nose was startled. When she saw the woman being stopped, she became arrogant again: "Okay! It turns out it's you, a crazy bitch! Do you dare to come back? You're looking for death!"
"I'm very pleased that you can plead guilty." The platoon leader nodded and raised his palms forward. The two soldiers passed him and rushed to both sides of the hospital. They captured him as soon as they stretched out their hands. They didn't understand what happened.
What kind of nursing home?
The nurse struggled twice and received two slaps in the face. He immediately did not dare to make a mistake. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Liu Yuanyin, with a sullen face, led a group of guards and a group of nearby landowners and squires. Hundreds of people stood in front of the platoon leader.
Many of the guards held long knives and swords in their hands, and some even had Cyric flintlock guns in their hands, which seemed to be much better equipped than the Zheng army.
"Who is this?" the platoon leader asked with a smile.
"This is Liu Yuan, Mr. Liu." Liu Yuan himself said nothing, but the butler next to him stepped forward and introduced him.
"Sir, please give Mr. Liu some face... let's talk in person? How about that?" Liu Yuan suppressed his anger, forced a smile, took a half step back, and asked with a gesture of invitation.
The platoon leader leading the team looked at the guards holding muskets behind Liu Yuan, and also smiled: "Master Liu, I am too timid to enter such a big battle."
