Chapter 114 What is evil and what is shameless

The three elders on the stage were talking nonstop. They wanted to take over the land from Widow Gao’s house!

The old man in gray clothes in the middle, who looks to be nearly sixty years old, is the leader, "Ms. Gao, there are not many people in your natal family, and you have no heirs. It is not easy for you, a woman, to support your family."

"Bah!" The woman in the audience, who was only in her twenties, spat fiercely at San Lao, "Don't you just want my family's land? Here it is, I don't want it anymore, I will take it with you later

My husband’s memorial tablet leaves here.”

The old man in gray clothes shook his head and said, "Mr. Gao, this land belongs to the village, and we do this for your consideration. But if you want to leave, you can keep your pension."

Gao's husband was a corps commander in the army and received a monthly salary of 750 yuan. Liu Cong's policy was to pay a one-time salary of ten years if he died in battle, and there were various subsidy policies for the widows of soldiers.

Mr. Gao received 90,000 yuan, and the government gave him a receipt. He used the receipt to go to the local government office to collect the money.

Mrs. Gao's face was full of anger, "My husband paid for it with his life, why should he leave it to you?"

Another old man said shamelessly, "Your husband is from our Gaojia Village. If he has any potential, he will naturally have to give back to our Gaojia Village."

"Now you say that my husband is yours? Why didn't you say it when you burned his memorial tablet?" Mrs. Gao pointed angrily at the martial arts hall where Mars was still standing.

"We were the ones who helped you bury Gao Shui back then!"

"Obviously the government wanted to bury him in the cemetery, but you refused to let him go. You insisted on saying that he should be buried in peace and return to his roots. You insisted on burying my husband on your wasteland, and even wanted to exchange it for my family's good land. You are simply bullying me.

"

Gao's husband was called Gao Shui. The third elder was so shameless that he burned down the martial arts hall and said that he was from his own village.

"What do women know?" The old man in gray clothes in the middle became impatient, "Here comes someone!"

Immediately, four or five strong men surrounded Gao.

The old man in gray looked at Mr. Gao coldly, "Mr. Gao, will you hand it over?"

Mrs. Gao shrank back in fear, but her tone remained firm, "My husband paid for it with his life, and it belongs to my family."

"The Gao family did not abide by the rules of women. After her husband died, she committed adultery many times. Give me a beating, kill a few people, and search her house!"

The old man gave an order, and the men surrounding Gao grabbed her hair and pulled her to the ground. They punched and kicked her.

The three elders looked at Gao's screams and smiled coldly.

"stop!"

"ah!"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly, and knocked several men away with his fists, while he was still holding one person in his hand. The man's face turned red from being pinched, and he kept slapping Huang Zhong's arm.

"Who are you? Why do you want to interfere in my affairs in Gaojiacun?" The old man in gray clothes was a little surprised, surprised that someone dared to meddle in other people's affairs.

Huang Zhong ignored him, put down the man who was about to suffocate to death, turned to the people and asked, "Why don't you care? One day, the man in your family died while serving as a soldier. When you face such a scene, who will save you?"

"

"Save others today, and others will save you tomorrow. Such people are not worthy of overthrowing the three elders in the village!"

The people just stared at him blankly, not even daring to look at the three elders pointed at by Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong was hit again. He turned around to help Gao and asked the third elder, "You said she committed adultery. Who did she commit adultery with?"

The old man in gray clothes smiled coldly, "You, don't you see that you are hugging her now?"

Huang Zhong suppressed his anger and said, "You bully the weak so blatantly, aren't you afraid that the Chu army will come back?"

"Haha." The old man in gray smiled coldly, "How many people from Chuhou's army can stay here? Our ancestors have been here for generations."

"You're right, we just bully the weak. There is only so much land in the village, so someone has to go hungry, right?"

Impoverished mountains and rivers breed unruly people, and Huang Zhong finally understood why Liu Cong would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. The Wang family is good to the people, but there is a prerequisite. You must first become a tenant of the Wang family!

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality. Land annexation has been a problem in the feudal era for thousands of years. At this moment, Deng Zhi also understood why Liu Cong meant reducing the rich and the poor.

If everyone does the same thing as the three elders in front of them, they are forcing the people to die, killing people and rebelling! This is digging into the foundation of the country!

Trampling the already broken tablet at his feet, the old man in gray taunted, "How can the land in the village be divided enough if these people are not dead?"

"Mr. Gao, hand over the bill and marry me as my concubine. How about sparing your life?"

Haha, this old guy is over 60 years old, but he is still lustful!

Gao nestled on Huang Zhong's chest and looked at him coldly, "You old fool is dreaming."

The old man in gray didn't talk nonsense and clapped his hands. More than fifty men, holding forks, hoes and other farm tools, and leading more than a dozen big yellow dogs, looked at Huang Zhong and the others with eager eyes.

The old man sneered and said, "The lives of you people are worse than those of my dogs."

"If any foreigners dare to interfere with our affairs in Gaojia Village, go ahead and beat them to death and feed them to the dogs!"

"Woof, woof, woof." A dozen big yellow dogs were released and charged at Huang Zhong and the others with bared teeth. Those men also rushed towards Huang Zhong with farm tools!

"call out!"

"Ouch."

"ah!"

The arrows came through the air and directly knocked the people who were shot by these beasts off their backs.

"General." The people were dispersed, and two groups of soldiers rushed in to guard Huang Zhong and Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi walked up to Huang Zhong and said, "Old general, now do you know why my lord is so cruel?"

Huang Zhong didn't speak, but looked at this scene with complicated eyes.

"Who are you?" The old man in gray clothes asked in panic when he saw the soldiers.

Deng Zhihan pointed at the martial arts hall with a grimace, "Those tablets you burned are our robes!"

"My lord, this is all a misunderstanding."

Deng Zhi didn't even look at him, "Take it! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"promise!"

The soldier rushed towards the men on the opposite side who were still holding farm tools with their swords in hand.

"Put down your weapons, or die!" The soldiers were approaching in rows.

The few remaining yellow dogs lay on the ground whimpering, looking pleadingly at the slowly approaching soldiers.

"Kill them, or we will die." The old man in gray clothes was still deceiving people.

Huang Zhong's face turned cold at this time, he helped Gao Widow sit down on the ground, rushed forward, and snatched the knife from a soldier's hand.

"ah!"

"Killed!"

After cutting down several men, Huang Zhong walked straight onto the high platform.

"General, misunderstanding..."

"General, please spare my life..." He grabbed the old man in gray clothes like a chicken, and Huang Zhong was about to chop him down with a single blow!

"Old General, wait!"

Huang Zhong looked at Deng Zhi doubtfully, and Deng Zhi smiled and said, "It would be too cheap to chop him with a knife. My lord has invented a punishment called Ling Chi, so why not let him try it."

Huang Zhong nodded when he heard this and threw the old man in gray to the audience.

"Ouch." The old man in gray screamed, and several soldiers tied him up.

"Go and capture their whole family." Deng Zhi ordered.

"Wait a minute." Huang Zhong stopped the military prince who wanted to take action, "Capture the three tribes!"

"promise!"
