"God, why don't you open your eyes? You are unjustly accusing us of dying! Mr. Official, please be merciful and let our men go..."
"Master Captor, Uncle Zhou, I bow to you. I beg you to be noble and let these ignorant children go. Don't go to the Yamen. I don't dare to go to the Yamen..."
"Dad! If you let my father go, we won't dare to fight anymore. Please be merciful!"
A crowd of common people knelt down at the entrance of the village. In this era, people's fear of the government was unimaginable to future generations. Ordinary people would have to shed their skin if they entered the yamen without dying. If you want to save people, you have to wait until you sell your house and land.
The head catcher Zhou Xing enjoyed the feeling of these people kneeling down and begging. When he looked back, he saw that the stone roller under the big willow tree was quite clean, so he sat on it immediately.
"Look, what do you want me to say? Now that you know you are afraid, why did you hit someone just now? I heard that you guys are cheating here, so I got up early and came over to have a look, but luckily you had a full martial arts competition ah!"
"Beating people! And the people they were beating were bannermen! You really took the courage of a leopard, don't you think about the consequences? In the Qing Dynasty, the Han people attacked the Manchus. What kind of sin was this? Can't live a good life anymore? Eat them all Are you full?"
The village chief is now kowtowing like a fool, "Master, calm down, sir, didn't you go too far last night? The young man was so angry that he suspected that these old men who wanted to buy land were the murderers... We were wrong, and we accept the punishment." , please have mercy..."
Zhou Xing and Jiao Si'er looked at each other, and then Zhou Xing said, "Hey... they are all from the countryside. I don't want to make things worse. It's almost the New Year, so it's better to be peaceful and peaceful. More and faster Please come to the chapter. It will be updated as soon as possible. But if the sufferer doesn’t speak, there is nothing I can do..."
At this time, the villagers looked at the group of foreigners with bruised noses and swollen faces. They all knelt on the ground with sorrow and cried loudly, "Please have mercy, please have mercy..." But no matter how much they begged Jiao Si'er, they could only stare with their noses. Tian said nothing.
When Zhou Xing saw it, he could only shake his head and wink at his men. The wolf-like policemen tugged on the iron chains and said, "Let's go, follow grandpa. I'll give you prison meals..."
The crowd suddenly boiled, and an old lady rushed out and hugged her son's legs and cried bitterly, "Son, there is nothing we can do. Mom can't live without you... This uncle, this uncle, our land has been sold to you." , one acre of paddy field and three acres of dry land, all sold to you, woo woo woo..."
There was only a crisp sound, which was Jiao Si'er snapping his fingers. "Old man, please stop crying. You made a wise choice. One acre of paddy field is 40 taels, and one acre of dry land is 20 taels. A total of one hundred taels of silver. Get the banknotes for the old man, set up the table and write the receipts! Come on, Mr. Zhou, you are from the Yamen Gate, you will be the middleman, the certifier..."
Jiao Si'er's men conjured up the four treasures of the desk, chair, bench and study room like a magic trick, and in a short time a transfer deed was written. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Old man, please take it. This is a bank note from Lotte Bank in Tanggu City. Wherever you go, you can find the ocean. The Mexican Eagle Ocean with its water is the kind that can be blown... Is there any more? There will be more later. Do you have……"
There were a total of fifteen young people who took action, which means that fifteen families finally chose to bow their heads. There was nothing they could do about it. The jailbirds in the yamen could kill people. Let’s not talk about enforcing the law impartially. As long as they survive, If you go in, you may be diagnosed with typhoid fever and tuberculosis within three days, and a corpse will be returned to you later. Please come to more and faster chapters.
The reality is so cruel, and everyone has to bow their heads, not to mention that the money given by these foreigners is really not small. People were reluctant to sell before. On the one hand, it was hard to leave their homeland, and on the other hand, it was the industrial zones. Bizarre rumors.
However, under the threat of life and death, those rumors about foreign devils could not be ignored. Jiao Si'er looked at the crying common people and laughed in his heart, "If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place? I had to use my evil tricks!"
Fifteen families bought a total of more than 60 acres of land. Although this was a good start, it was far from Xiao Letian's goal. Jiao Si looked at the other farmers with a sullen face and said coldly, "Fellow folks, are there any others for sale? Don't be so unwise. You won't be able to hide them for a few days even if you shrink up and hide them. I can still help those who are selling land now in Tanggu." I'll introduce you to some jobs in the city, but you won't get such good treatment in the future..."
Jiao Si looked at the silent people around him, his triangular eyes shrinking smaller and smaller, and his fierce eyes swept over no one who dared to look at him. "Folks, let me tell you the ugly story first. Starting from tomorrow, if you trade every day, the land price will be reduced by one tael of silver. Don't make the mistake of yourselves..."
As soon as they heard that the price was going to be reduced, the crowd immediately started talking, and many people who were wavering were hesitant. People know very well that this group of people will not give up until they achieve their goals. Being able to use officials from the yamen to come forward is something that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Just when several families were hesitating, a group of people suddenly came rushing down the dirt road, and the leader was a young man with his braids hanging up. "You can't sell it. These people are lying to you. They want to take away all your land and build foreign factories!"
Seeing Jiao Si'er's confused look, a young yamen officer quietly came over and whispered, "It's Huang Liu, Huang Xiucai. He is the distant nephew of Huang Juren who had the Ninth Marshal executed before. He has been jumping up and down recently to make trouble." Awesome, the one who scolds the Industrial Zone is the worst..."
Oh, it turned out to be a scholar. When Jiao Si'er heard that he was a scholar, he understood immediately. This must be related to the Qingliu people. Moreover, his uncle died at the hands of Xiao Letian. The hatred between the country and the family was all combined. .
Huang Liu ran out of breath and ran to the big willow tree, holding on to the trunk and wheezing for a long time. "Folks... Folks, you have been fooled... This, this Jiao Si'er is basically Xiao Letian's housekeeper. If he changes hands with your land, it will be given to Xiao Letian..."
Huang Liu pointed at the endless plains and said sadly, "Folks, uncles and gentlemen, this is the land that gave birth to us and raised us. We have been digging in the soil for generations. How can we live without the land?" ? These accomplices of the foreign devils are going to build an industrial zone after taking away our land..."
"What is industry? Industry is the magic of foreigners. How could the foreign soldiers who rushed up from Dagukou in the first few years reach the capital? They relied on these magics. Foreigners can create rampant Thousands of miles of large ships, as well as foreign guns and cannons that kill people invisible, these are all bullshit industrial magic..."
Huang Liu punched the big willow tree with his fists in grief, "Do you know that there are little devils in the iron machines used in industry? Otherwise, how could they have such great power? My uncles, gentlemen, and aunties. You guys, eight generations of our ancestors are buried here, do you want the souls of your ancestors to be taken away by this bullshit industrial zone? You are unfilial..."
Huang Liu scolded these people one by one until their faces turned pale. Even the head catcher Zhou Xing and the others were dumbfounded. These people simply don’t understand what industry is and what foreign science is, and they have no resistance to the various bizarre legends of Westerners. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Even though these officials show off their power in front of the people, when they encounter these nagging things, their claws are numb, and there is a look of fear in their eyes.
"No more selling, we don't want to sell any more, please return the land deeds to us..." Fifteen farmers who sold their land regretted on the spot and rushed forward to grab the land deeds.
"Withdraw... withdraw quickly. Damn it, it's been written in black and white on the paper, and the fingerprints have been pressed. You still want to regret it? Damn it, go away..." Jiao Si'er and the others stuffed the land deed into their arms. , turned around and ran away.
The villagers still wanted to chase, but Zhou Xing and the government officials stopped them all. "It's not over, it's not over? You still want to fight, do you really think we are just decorations? They are all scattered, they are all scattered..."
Huang Liu now said sadly, "Zhou Captou, you are also a native of Tanggu. Can't you follow these foreign devils to harm our fellow villagers? What kind of disaster have the foreigners brought across the sea to our Qing Dynasty? Can you? I can no longer help build this industrial zone..."
Zhou Xing shook his head, chewed his teeth and sighed, "Huang Xiucai, I don't know the reasoning of you scholars, and I can't refute it, but this industrial zone was appointed by the imperial court. We are all the emperor's slaves. If we don't listen to the emperor, we will be punished." Do you want to listen to you? Of course, what you said makes sense to me, but it’s a pity that you are just a scholar. No matter how great you are, you can’t reach the sky..."
"Court? There are traitors in the court! These thieves who deceive the Holy Heart will destroy the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. If I enter the court, I will die with them..." Huang Liu's eyes bulged with anger.
"Yes, yes, I can't defeat you. Scholars know the world's affairs without going out. If you dare to scold the treacherous ministers in the court, that's your skill. I am just a small official in Tanggu. I can't mix in your muddy water. Goodbye... "After that, he took several government officials and left.
Huang Liu gasped angrily, "How can this be good? How can this be possible? The Chinese people are so numb. In the future, the country will have to be destroyed and the species will be destroyed. Sooner or later, the Western Yi will have to change their ancestral rules, and sooner or later, they will become two devils. …”
Huang Xiucai pointed at the people in the village and said with hatred that iron is not enough. "Money, money, money, have you all fallen in the eyes of money? Isn't it just that there are no haystacks? Is it possible that the sky has collapsed? Just for this food and clothing." You have even forgotten the rules of your ancestors, and you have lost all respect for etiquette, justice and integrity..."
Huang Liu scolded him heartily, but the people all bowed their heads and remained silent. Someone in the crowd whispered softly, "It doesn't hurt if you stand and talk. Anyway, your family has a big business and you don't have to worry about food and drink. How can we ordinary people survive the winter? Without firewood." Don’t you have to spend money to buy it? Where does the money come from..."
"Who! Who dares to talk..." Huang Liu was like a monkey with its tail chopped off, jumping up and down angrily, "Shameless, shameless, we would rather starve to death, we must keep our integrity, we must also keep our duty as human beings... What is duty? Confucian etiquette, justice, integrity and morality are duty, and ancestral rules are duty... Starving to death is a small thing, losing integrity is a big thing!"
In the autumn wind, the people of the whole village were scolded by Huang Xiucai for an hour. Anyway, Xiucai said one thing over and over again. In order to prevent this industrial zone from being completed, everyone should starve to death.
But many people don't understand, why do everyone come to teach us? Fourth Master Jiao, Capt. Zhou, and Huang Xiucai all have their own reasons, but why didn't anyone ask everyone how to fix the meal this morning? Where do we get the fodder for our livestock?
An hour later, Huang Xiucai lost his temper and turned around and left. In the cold wind, only the helpless villagers were left looking at the fire scene with green smoke curling up, and they were all on the verge of crying without tears.
"Ancestor Huangtian, how on earth are we going to survive? How are we going to survive..." The crowd screamed in sorrow.
