Chapter 178 Borrowing Food
"Wow, wow." A big yellow-haired dog couldn't help roaring.
"Sir, the salt farm is very messy tonight. It seems that a pole has attacked." The housekeeper said nervously to the master.
A large area of land near the salt farm is owned by Liu Shanxiai. Thirty years ago, when Liu Shanxiai took over the ancestral property from his father, there were only about 100 mu of fields. Liu Shanxiai forcibly seized nearly a thousand mu of land in the vicinity over the years, all under his own name. With land, he had money. He married a few The concubine hired dozens of family to protect the house and guarded her big house.
In the evening, from afar, there was a firelight on the other side of the salt field, which was much more dazzling than usual. Moreover, a huge sound could be faintly heard from the blowing wind. Liu Shancai was a little nervous. Large landowners like him were most afraid of bandits and exiles.
The exiles are easy to deal with. As long as they give some money and food, they can still keep their own property. However, if they encounter bandits, I'm afraid they will even have their own lives, and those concubines will also be robbed by bandits.
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Liu Shancai felt that his back vest was cold. What is the salt field? That's the salt farm of the imperial court. The pole will even attack the salt farm. I am only ten miles away from the salt farm. Can I be let go of by the pole?
"All the guards and nurses should pick up their weapons and protect here. All the doors should be closed." Liu Shancai said.
"Yes, my lord." The housekeeper said that he was about to go out.
Suddenly, "Wow, wow." The dog outside barked more happily.
There was a faint sound of footsteps.
"Quickly, let them prepare. If the pole comes, you must hold it!" Liu Shancai said in a trembling voice, should I let my concubine clean up and avoid it?
"Don, thon, thon." There was a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is it?" The doorkeeper asked.
"Open the door quickly. We borrowed food." A voice came from outside the door.
Borrow, borrow grain? Liu Shancai also heard the voice, "Ask them who they are." He said to the housekeeper.
"Who are you and how do you come here to borrow food?" The housekeeper asked loudly with courage.
"Haha, I heard that your family has a lot of food, and our eldest brother doesn't have enough food, so I came to borrow some food from your master." A voice outside said, "Open the door quickly. If you don't open the door, I won't be polite."
"How much food do you want to borrow?" Liu Shancai asked in a loud voice. If you borrow less, you can give it yourself.
"Haha, Master Liu is still easy to talk to. If it's not much, just borrow a hundred stones."
What? One hundred stones? Isn't this robbery? Liu Shancai's flesh hurts a lot. Aren't you robbed?"
"Haha, robbery? Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, we have taken down the salt farm. Your small yard is not worth mentioning at all. If you don't know each other, after breaking the door for a while, your family will have no place to die. The last sentence was murderous.
Liu Shancai's heart shivered, and the housekeeper next to him whispered, "Sir, don't open the door. After opening the door, I'm afraid it will be a disaster!"
Liu Shancai suddenly realized that he still had this big yard to resist. If he opened the door and put in these wolf-like poles, the house would be completely finished.
can't be opened, can't be given.
"I don't have food in my house. You can borrow it from another house!" Liu Shancai said, and at the same time, he walked inside: "Protect the yard. If you dare to come in, immediately chop it to death with a knife, and report it tomorrow."
"Yes, my lord." The housekeeper said. Pay attention, everyone, guard the courtyard, and the master will be rewarded tomorrow!"
"Boom!" A loud noise scared the people in the courtyard. Looking at it again, the wall next to it had collapsed a big hole. Outside the big hole, there was a large group of people, everyone holding torches and some with spears.
"Stand and don't move. Which one dares to move? This is the example!" A voice said coldly. With the sound, the yellow dog barking next to it immediately fell to the ground. The Tianling cover has been broken, and the claws have softened.
"I hate barking dogs."
Xu Yi stepped in, looked at Liu Shanxia, who was still shivering, and said, "You must be Master Liu?"
"No, it's good, it's right." Liu Shancai's momentum had been gone for a long time. Originally, he thought that his big yard could resist for a while, but he didn't expect that he thought that the copper wall and iron wall was worthless in the eyes of the other party.
"This is what you chose to refuse, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
Liu Shancai knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said with his head, "The strong man spare his life, the strong man spare his life."
"Your cheap life, I don't need to take it yet. What I need now is your food." Xu Yi said, "Take out all the food in his family."
All the family stayed aside and did not dare to move. Just now, they all saw that the big man in front of him was holding the strange weapon in his hand. He just pointed and saw a flame coming out of it, and the master's favorite yellow dog was killed.
What is that? Why is it so powerful? The family were all scared to death. They were afraid that the thing would point to them.
Move it all out? Don't you have to empty Mr. Liu's house?
"Quick, move, why don't you move the food?" Xu Yi shouted to the people behind him. There were countless people holding torches behind, far more than 30 people. They were nearby villagers.
Xu Yi took the soldiers to the courtyard of Mr. Liu's house, the first big family and the most unkind Liu Shancai, under the guidance of Uncle Tai Shan.
As Xu Yi walked, he felt indignant. What he hated most was that these big families still asked for so many rents and borrowed only 100 stones of food in the barren year. It was too little.
Before going to Liu Shancai's compound, looking at the dilapidated homes of other people, Xu Yi finally couldn't help it and said to the soldiers, "Mobilize the people of this village and let them follow us to Liu Shancai's house to borrow food."
"Dip, let's go to Liu Shancai's house to borrow grain!!" The soldiers shouted.
What? Borrowing grain? The villagers had long been annoyed by the noise of the salt farm. When they heard that they were going to the landlord's house to borrow grain, most of them did not dare to come out, and a few people followed them.
"Go to the landlord's house to borrow food. Are they willing to lend it to us?" A bold villager came out and asked.
"Brother, look at the weapons in our hands. Does he dare not lend them to us?" Xu Yi said.
Looking at the spear and the strange weapon, the villagers slowly believed it.
"Brother, everyone who goes to borrow grain with us will be given a stone of grain to each family." Xu Yi said.
"But the government will come to us."
"Don't be afraid. We have taken down the salt field. In the nearby area, the tars are about to die. What else are you afraid of?"
What? Did they take down the salt farm? The villagers finally knew that there was so much noise in the salt farm tonight that they were beaten down by this group of people.
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the salt farm to have a look. Anyone who wants to fight the tartars and these big rich and unkind families can join our team!" Xu Yi began to advertise.
"In a few days, we will also knock down the nearby salt fields and knock down the tartars on these lands, so that everyone can have food to eat and have a good day to plant."
"Mom, I'm going." A villager said.
"No, who knows if they are real or fake."
"Anyway, there has been no rice in our jar for a long time. We have been eating wild vegetables these days. What should we do in winter? I'm going to borrow food.
"Wife, I'm going to borrow food. We have no food to eat."
Soon, a large number of people gathered around Xu Yi.
Xu Yi looked at it and was quite satisfied. Let's go to Liu Shancai's house and borrow his food.
"Yes, there is so much food in his family. We are going to run out of food. Let's borrow food!" The villagers rubbed their hands and borrowed food!
Hearing that Liu Shancai refused to borrow food, Xu Yi immediately asked his men to prepare, took out two grenades, put them under the corner, and lit the lead.
The wall is very tall and grand, but in front of the grenade, no matter how strong the wall is, it is also a floating cloud.
"Boom." With a sound, the wall was blown up. It shocked the family inside and the villagers outside. What is this? Why is it so powerful? They also thought that if Liu Shan didn't open the door, did they need to go home and move the ladder? The wall was so high that I'm afraid the ladder was not enough.
Before they recovered, Xu Yi had taken the sky and gave it a meeting gift to the barking dog.
Although it's night now, the torch shines clearly, and the distance is only 50 steps. Such a short distance is naturally a hundred times.
The villagers were just shocked, but now, it can be said that they are shocked.
Tomorrow, I will also go to the salt field to join them. I can defeat the fierce Tatars and occupy the salt field. With these weapons, it will not be a problem to defeat Xinghua and Gaoyou. In the hearts of the villagers, they gradually have this idea. Originally, people's lives in troubled times are as low as grass. Following them may really be a way to live.
"Hurry up, move, why don't you go to carry the grain?" Xu Yi shouted.
Only then did the villagers come to their senses and move the food!
"You all come here, don't move around." Xu Yi pointed at these family people with Tianque and concentrated them in one place, so as to facilitate supervision.
"Ten of you, look at them, we're going to move the food." Xu Yi said.
It's enough to leave ten people and watch them. The rest of the people, move the grain back quickly. These villagers won't empty the grain of Liu Shanxia's family, will they?
"You poles dare to rob my family's food and live impatiently?" A shrill woman's cry sounded in the warehouse.
What's going on? Xu Yi hurried over with people.
Liu Shancai's face changed: This voice is exactly the voice of her original wife. How can she be so bold? She dares to talk to these people like this. Aren't she afraid of death? Although he is usually afraid of his wife, now he is still secretly worried about his wife.
Xu Yi walked over and saw a mother Yecha standing there in front of the huge granary, with her hands on her waist, pointing her fingers at the villagers and shouting.
"You unbeans, if anyone dares to move today, I will let my second uncle take you to arrest you tomorrow."
Who is this? With such a big breath? Xu Yi stepped forward and shouted, "Those who dare to stop him will be killed without mercy."
The purpose of this time is mainly to borrow food, so Xu Yi only used intimidation. As soon as he entered the door just now, he scared those family. However, if someone really dares to stop him, he would not mind using force.
"Let me tell you, Yin Li in Xinghua County is my second uncle. If any of you dare to move, I will ask him to arrest you all."
"Ban!" There was another sound of fire.
"Ah!" As soon as she lowered her head, a head flower on her head was knocked down.
"I don't like people shouting. You shout again, and I'll make your head bloom. A Yin from Xinghua County is not worthy to carry it out and press me. I will tell you that the magistrate of Gaoyou is coming, and I will still borrow your food. Xu Yi said coldly.
"How dare you, if you kill me, the court will definitely kill your nine clans!" She said that her hands were about to grab Xu Yi with her teeth and claws.
"Ban!" A blood flower appeared on her chest. She looked at the blood on her chest in surprise. She couldn't believe that this unbelief dared to kill herself.
"I don't like people to be so noisy." Xu Yi said lightly, "Kyu my nine clans? I'm not afraid. Are you afraid? As he spoke, he pointed to a villager next to him.
"Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of? Since I, Liu Dezhi, am not afraid." This villager is very brave.
"Captain, since you have done it, it's better to clean it up to get out of future trouble." A soldier said...? This? Xu Yi was a little unbearable. He agreed that he was just here to borrow food.
"Your Excellency, these people deserve to die. They occupy a large area of land nearby, and the land rent is very high. Some families can't pay the land rent. Master Liu took those dog legs to ask for accounts, broke the legs of several people, and ruined several girls in our village!" Liu Dezhi said, and his eyes turned red: "Look at these family, you are so honest now. When I followed Master Liu to ask for an account, I did a lot of unreasonable things!"
"Yes, that's right." Other villagers said one after another, "They harm the countryside, and they have more than enough to die!"
"That's right, my lords, they should all go down to the 18th floor of hell!"
Listening to the shouts around him, Xu Yi knew that these landlords usually rely on money and power to do all the bad things. Not many of these big families are good people.
He stared at the granary with his eyes and had already made a murderous move.
But will you be scolded by the eldest brother if you go back like this? He was not sure about his eldest brother's mind. He did it himself, which was a little inconsistent with his order.
"They should go to the 18th floor of hell. Would you like to give them a ride?" Xu Yi asked.
Some people retreat. Although they hate Liu Shanxia very much, it takes a lot of courage to kill people with their own hands.
"I'll go!" Liu Dezhi said.
" OK, give him a spear!" Xu Yi said to the spearman behind him.
"Who else?"
"I'll go."
"I'll go."
Seeing someone taking the lead, more than a dozen young men followed.
"You guys, follow behind. If a familyman resists, execute immediately!" Xu Yi said.
Liu Dezhi took a spear and rushed back angrily to find those who had gathered and confiscated their weapons. Those who abused my Cui'er, you all died! I want to avenge Cui'er!
Soon, there was a scream in the front yard, the sound of running away, and the sound of Tianque.
Xu Yi didn't have any expression. He came to the front of the granary and kicked open the door of the granary.
"Quick, move the grain."
A lot of food!
"Report, there are more than a dozen carriages in the backyard. Can we use them to transport food?" A soldier asked.
Is there a carriage? Of course." After each of the villagers removes a stone, put all the rest on the carriage for me. Xu Yi had a smile on his face.
After the grain was moved, Xu Yi led the team out of the yard. Liu Dezhi and several young men had followed. We are going to join the team and fight the landlord!"
"Good, you are very welcome!" Xu Yi said.
A raging fire has been lit in the yard.
