my days with tyrants

Chapter 326
With the help of Song Xin to intercept and kill Liu Wen, it can be said that Li Xin established his authority in Xiangyang City in just one day...

Then you can catch whoever you want.

None of the gentry involved in Xiangyang City escaped his clutches.

All of them went to the government prison.

As for the higher-ranking Fu Tong San, after being invited to a room alone by him for a 10-minute long talk, he immediately fully supported his action to eliminate the rebellious party. After all, all that remained at this time belonged to that kind of wall Grass.

Li Tuifu is a student of the Son of Heaven, even if he is one level lower than himself, he has to serve as a superior official.

Those gentlemen tried to stir up civil uprisings and fooled the common people into being cannon fodder for them, but this kind of trick was like a farce in front of Li Xin who had learned some special theories.As he himself said, whoever wants to protect the lord loyally, stand up and fight with him personally, and see what these gentry masters have that deserves your death?
Is it their clan?
When they oppressed you, did they ever think that you are a clan?
Is it their hired worker?

Can the treatment they give you be comparable to the workers in Mount Wutai?
Is it their tenant?

Are you cheap? Instead of waiting for the imperial court to confiscate their homes and confiscate them, and then turn their land into official land for you to continue farming, you will no longer have to pay more than [-]% of the rent. Instead, you will guarantee them to continue to be their pawn A cow is a horse?
Are you cheap or cheap?

……

This set was completely defeated in front of him.

After all, compared with the old Confucian officials, these students trained by Yang Feng can basically be said to be completely crushed. They can play theory with literature, can lead troops to the battlefield with martial arts, know everything about astronomy and geography, understand water conservancy construction, and can play finance. .Although their knowledge is not very good, it can only be said that they have dabbled, but the problem is that what they dabbled in is currently the most advanced. one, and one groping in the misty dawn.

Totally incomparable.

However, Liu Wen, who also went north to Dengzhou at this time, had to face a more severe situation.

"It's all messed up!"

Standing on the mound, Judge Liu looked at a small village with rammed earth walls in front of him.

The fortress is being attacked and defended there...

At least for those young and strong people who are fighting, this is considered a fortress. The attackers are more than 1000 young and strong, all of which are cold weapons, but they have a lot of bows and arrows. The defender should be all active people in this small village, even including Many women rely on rammed earth walls.

This wall is found in many villages, not only to guard against bandits and thieves, but also to guard against wild animals.

These walls are very narrow.

Only the four corners have archers.

And inside the wall are a large number of young men with spears and even farm tools.

And standing on bamboo tripods.

As soon as the attacker emerged from the wall, he immediately stabbed through it.

And there should be a lot of perforations on the fence, and there are also archers shooting arrows, and some people are throwing stones with slings, and women are holding pot lids as shields, walking around and transporting in the village, even the highest roof in the village. Others are commanding with flags.

"The folk customs are simple and honest, and the martial arts are abundant!"

Liu Wen commented on this with the adjectives that Ambassador Yang is accustomed to using.

Of course, this is the case in most villages at this time.

Seeing the waving of flags inside and the constant deployment of personnel, this is definitely someone who has experienced a real war.

At this time, Xiaoqi came back.

He just ran to the people watching the battle to inquire about...

Well, just to watch the battle.

In fact, there are more people watching the battle than participating in the battle. There are at least tens of thousands of idlers around watching the battle, all watching with great interest, and many people are still shouting excitedly, as if the front is not fighting each other, but adding entertainment to their poor lives .

"Judge Liu, I understand the question. It is the Dengzhou Loyalty Club that is attacking, that is, Dengzhou, together with the gentry from Xinye, Neixiang, Xichuan and other places under its jurisdiction, formed by purging the Tie family and those Semu families. , the name is to pray for rain, but in fact they advance and retreat together. They have agreed that as long as the local officials of the court come, those who meet their wishes can stay as officials, and those who do not meet their wishes will be kicked out together. But in fact The gentry who participated in the Loyalty Club used this to deal with the locals who refused to listen to them. This village had an enmity with the local gentry in the Loyalty Club.

The village was not allowed to be searched, and the two sides fought like this.

That's the guy.

It is estimated that it is private revenge. "

Xiao Qi pointed to a middle-aged man on the mound not far away and said.

The latter was dressed in a scholar's shirt, sitting on the top chair, and looked at the battle ahead with a commanding posture, but he was already in sight of victory. After all, the opposite was just a small village, and he would have entered it long ago without this fence But how long can a rammed-earth fence last?

What's more, he still has an absolute advantage in numbers.

"Where's the magistrate?"

Liu Wen said.

"The magistrates don't care. There have been many fights like this recently. The magistrates have been hiding, and they can't control it. I just don't know why the Nanyang Guard didn't send troops. It's supposed to be so close, so they wouldn't know."

Xiaoqi said.

"It's someone deliberately trying to mess things up."

Liu Wen sneered.

He got off the horse immediately after speaking.

"what is his name?"

he asked.

"Li Shan is a Gong student. He was originally in Taixue and came back from the capital at the beginning of the year."

Liu Wen nodded and walked straight over.

But soon, several young and strong attackers came to stop him.

"A certain Xiuwu Wang family, Hongwu Bingzi Juren, and brother Li's old acquaintance, returned from Jinhua's resignation, and quickly reported it."

Liu Wen shouted in the attitude of an adjutant.

The leader Qing Zhuang hurriedly ran to Li Shan, who looked up at Liu Wen unexpectedly, Liu Wen hurriedly raised his hand to signal to him, Li Shan got up immediately, not that he was easy to deceive, but that Wang Juren was a real person, Xiu Wu Wangduo, Liu Wen still has some contacts with him.And Wang Duo is a native of Henan Province, who belongs to the goal of this stage of struggle for people like Li Shan. He must know his name, or even knew him before, but Liu Wen is sure that even if they have met, they are only casual acquaintances. Nan, and I haven't seen each other for many years, because Wang Duo went to Zhejiang to be an official four years ago, and now he is studying as a teacher in Jinhua Prefecture.The difference between Liu Wen's figure and appearance is not the kind that can be distinguished at a glance. As for the dialect in Jiaozuo area, he can also speak it, because his family's ancestral home is there, and his father was a refugee recruited by the Ming army, and then he came to Guizhou as a military household. .

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for many years, but I don't want to meet here!"

he exclaimed enthusiastically.

Li Shan quickly put on a smile.

"Brother Wang, I almost didn't recognize him after five years in the capital."

he shouted.

Then he came over.

The two meet again face to face.

"Brother Wang, I heard that you are an official in Jinhua, and now you don't want to be subjected to that treacherous attitude anymore?"

Li Shan straightened up with a smile on his face.

then……

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out suddenly.

With a frozen face of astonishment and a bullet hole on his forehead, he looked at the short gun in Liu Wen's hand.

"Yes, that's why I'm here to hoe the rape."

Liu Wen said sincerely.

The next moment Li Shan's dead body fell down.

The young men around were dumbfounded, and then they came to their senses, roaring madly one by one, drawing their knives and about to charge upwards, but at the same time, Jin Yiwei behind Liu Wen pulled the trigger, and the three young men fell down at the same time, and Liu Wen The second short gun hit the head of the young man, and he immediately looked around, looking at those young men in shock.

"I'm the new judge of Dengzhou, think it through, if you dare to do something against me, it's a big crime of rebellion, copying your family and killing the nine clans, I don't care what you were fighting for before, now that I'm here, everyone has to listen to me Yes, go and tell them to stop attacking, otherwise I will send troops to the Nanyang Guards, and all those who participate in the fighting will be killed as rebels."

Liu Wen shouted.

The knife in the leader's hand fell immediately.

"Don't go soon!"

Liu Wen shouted to another young man.

The latter quickly threw the knife and ran towards the attacking young man.

"Tell those young men over there that everyone pays money, and if they want money, they will follow me."

Liu Wen then shouted at Xiaoqi.

He was talking about those onlookers.

Xiaoqi ran over immediately, and soon there were young and strong people following him, and those young and strong who attacked were still hesitant at first, but when the young and strong around Liu Wen had rapidly swelled to thousands, the leader Immediately ordered to stop the attack, and ran to Liu Wen with several main subordinates.

then……

"boom!"

He also had a bullet hole in his forehead.

"Only kill the culprit, if he dies, you will be innocent!"

Liu Wen held up the short gun and looked at the stunned young men in front of him.

The latter woke up immediately.

Indeed, if the official does not kill people, it means that he will settle accounts after the fall. After all, this kind of fighting has to be borne by someone. It is the most dangerous to coax them now. I don’t know which ones to kill when I settle accounts after the fall. !But now killing the leader directly means that this guy has committed all crimes.

"My lord, the younger ones were forced to do so. His family is very powerful and even colluded with bandits. If the younger ones dare not follow, their Li family will collude with bandits and destroy the family. His family is a well-known bully in this place. , killing people to steal goods, colluding with bandits, and even trafficking people, the little ones are willing to take the crime and make meritorious service!"

One of them immediately knelt down, crying with snot and tears.

Then others cried out.

A young man who was watching the battle next to him just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Wen raising his hand.

"That's why their Li family has enmity with this village, and they use the power of the Zhongyi Society to force you to attack this village with them. If you refuse, then he will bring people from the Zhongyi Society to attack you first? This is the case with the Zhongyi Society." Behavior, this is plotting rebellion, as long as you follow this official to destroy this group of rebels, you will not only be innocent, but you will also be rewarded after the event is completed. If the Loyalty Club is like the Li family, they will all be rich, right? "

Liu Wen said kindly.

"If you have money, you have money!"

"The ones who enter the Loyalty Society must at least have a thousand acres of fertile land, or have the reputation of a scholar."

……

These guys immediately scrambled to speak.

"Then these are fat sheep!"

Liu Wen said like a bandit leader.

At this time, even the leader of that village rushed over.

"Take the young and strong in your village and follow me as a soldier. I will take you to copy the Li family first."

Liu Wen said very simply.

"The little one swears to die to follow the big master!"

The man knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

They can guarantee maximum loyalty. After all, Liu Wen has saved their whole village, and those hired young men belong to Liu Wenwen's troops, and those who have committed crimes and meritorious deeds belong to the new affiliated army who rushed to the front.Just like this, a rogue-style legion was formed. Judge Liu put on his official uniform, rode a horse, and led Jinyiwei, who also wore yellow armor, to attack Li's house aggressively, tied up all the men, and then The property copied from the Li family was displayed as a reward to his subordinates, and the land deed of the Li family was taken out and burned directly in front of everyone.

The tenants who planted his family's land will no longer have to pay rent to his family in the future.

The title deeds are gone! What the hell!

There is no official in his shop.

……

In this way it could almost be said that in the blink of an eye he had received his true allegiance.

Even the tenants of other gentry families in the Loyalty Club excitedly carried hoes and other weapons, and ran to follow their Liu Qingtian. In the evening, Liu Qingtian brought tens of thousands of young and strong men to the city of Dengzhou like bandits approaching the city.Then, just like bandits approaching the city, the poor in the city flocked to the city gate, and amidst the howling of the gentry and gentlemen of the Zhongyi Society collapsed, they opened the city gate to their Liu Qingtian.

then……

"Grassman welcomes Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian is here, and the sky in Dengzhou will be cleared!"

"Caomin is willing to donate thousands of coins to help Lord Qingtian reward."

……

A group of elders and sages from the Zhongyi Society waited happily in front of the city gate.

Liu Wen pointed to the leader.

"Is he?"

he asked.

"Back to the old man, he was the one who took the lead in rebellion. He and Li Shan are in-laws. He organized the Loyalty Society to fight against the court. He also said that when the court officials come, just listen to them honestly. If you don't listen, you can pretend to be a bandit in the middle of the night. chopped."

"Yes, he also killed eight members of the Tie family and took the two women of the Tie family to his own house to spoil them."

……

Li Shan's subordinates who had defected testified one after another.

Liu Wen looked at the man with a smile, and the latter laughed like he was crying.

"Rebellion and chaos, Fa-rectification on the spot!"

Liu Wen shouted.

The next moment he raised his short gun, and before the fellow Xiangxian could react, he pulled the trigger directly.

"boom!"

The dead body of fellow Xiangxian fell down.

The other elders and sages in the back collapsed instantly.

"Run!"

One of them yelled.

Then they all turned around like crazy, trying to escape from here.

"Assembly to create rebellion and cause chaos, all will be executed on the spot!"

Liu Wen shouted calmly.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his second short gun and pulled the trigger on the back of an elderly Xiangxian, and the guards on both sides of him also pulled the trigger on the short gun in the hands. The elderly Xiangxian who were running away amidst the continuous sound of gunshots also pulled the trigger. They kept falling, and the members of the Loyalty Club who came to welcome them soon turned into dead bodies in front of the city gate.

Liu Wen held two short guns and looked at the shocked people around him...

"What are you looking at, hurry up and lead the way, go to their house and copy out the land deed, and you won't have to pay them rent in the future."

He said.

The next moment was countless wild cheers.
