Xu He's thugs may be tall, ferocious, and powerful, but fighting and fighting are two completely different things.
Facing the attack of five villagers, even a tall, powerful and muscular thug could not resist.
Five trained members of the villagers' self-defense force attacked him with long and short weapons. He was in a hurry to parry and backed away. One of them was accidentally stabbed into the throat by a thin villager with a short gun, and he died.
The short spears used by the villagers' self-defense forces are definitely not as good as the three- to five-meter long spears used by the Ming army in battlefield battles, but they are still enough for small-scale situations when used by them.
Anyway, Xu He's team of thugs did not have the opportunity to receive formal military training, nor did they have formal military weapons. Their fate was basically the same, either being killed one by one, or several by several. Soon there was death all over the place.
After the thug team failed, Xu He also abandoned his family in the chaos. He ran away desperately, trying to find a way out.
But it is a pity that Xu is not good at running.
With his fat head and big ears, he was quickly targeted by a group of young people from the villagers' self-defense force. This group of young people kept chasing him. After running for a while, Xu He fell to the ground and could no longer run. The young people behind him They swarmed him and pushed him to the ground, then quickly tied him up.
"Ouch! It hurts! Be gentle! Be gentle!"
He kept shouting, only to receive angry scoldings.
"You dare to cry out in pain! Look at your fat head and big ears! You look like a blood-sucking moth! Don't cry out in pain! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"
Xu He wanted to cry, but he was afraid of being killed. He thought that everyone would be a knife and he would be a fish, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
When the binding was strong, the group of young men lifted him up and let him walk on his own, while they supervised him from behind with weapons in hand.
At this time, Xu He realized that the people who captured him were clearly a group of young children. They looked like teenagers and had childish looks on their faces, but when they looked at him, their faces were full of hatred.
"Babys, what are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? What's wrong with you? I don't even know you, and I have no grudge against you. What are you going to do?"
Xu He cried sadly.
"What did you do to us? You didn't do anything to us, but you landlords have oppressed us for thousands of years. Now it's time for us to turn over and sweep you into the garbage!"
A young man who looked like the leader shouted loudly, drawing cheers from his companions.
Xu He shouted with a grimace.
"Thousands of years? Oppression? What are you talking about? I don't even know you! What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"You don't know us? But we know you! Xu He, a well-known local bully in Ningyang County, bullied tenants and took human life lightly. Your evil deeds are countless. Your trial must be carried out! Your actions must be punished with justice. Judgment!”
The young man in the lead shouted again, which sounded very powerful. His companions continued to cheer, but Xu He felt cold in his heart.
"Dolls, I didn't do those things. Those things were... all done behind my back by my men! I am very good to my tenants, really very good. I give them gifts every year and festival. People who eat and do those things are punished, it’s me who punishes them, really!”
"You are smart to push things to your subordinates and leave yourself completely alone! But such words are useless to us revival members! We all know your true nature clearly! You are absolutely evil! Worm!"
The young man kicked his fat butt, causing him to stagger: "Stop talking nonsense! Leave quickly! The president and others are waiting for your public trial! If you don't leave quickly, I will beat you to death!"
Xu He's butt hurt, and his heart felt even colder. He didn't know where he had offended these people, nor where they came from. He deliberately asked, but all he got was a kick in the butt.
So he didn't dare to ask anymore, and could only walk all the way to the village with a sad face, and reached the high court that "belonged to him".
On the high platform, Xu He saw tenants with different expressions standing densely under the stage. Those tenants were all familiar to him, and they were indeed people from his own village.
Then he saw that all his family members on the stage had been arrested. Not only his own family members, but also three other family members were arrested. No one was left out.
They were tied tightly, and they knelt neatly on the high platform in a row, crying and some even had bruises on their noses and faces.
For example, his precious son, who is known as the little bully in the village, is now so bruised and swollen that even his mother has to work hard to recognize him, so it would be easier to recognize him through blood.
"My son!"
Xu He howled, but was kicked in the butt by the young man behind him.
"No noise! Kneel down! Shut up!"
"you!"
Xu He was furious in his heart, and just as he was about to roar, the young man pressed the tip of the short spear to his neck.
"What do you want to say? Can you try another word?"
Seeing the young man's murderous eyes, Xu He's anger disappeared. He swallowed, trembling and shook his head.
"No...nothing..."
"Get over here! Kneel down!"
The young man roared angrily, and Xu He quickly reached the edge of the queue like a caterpillar, knelt down beside his second uncle obediently, and gave his second uncle a bitter smile that rivaled that of Huang Lianyou.
It is equivalent to being reduced to a human being at the end of the world.
"The culprit is also here, it seems we can start."
As one of the leaders of this action, Han Dezhi, president of the Liangzao Township Farmers' Association, Fengfu County, Tai'an Prefecture, stepped forward, puffed up his chest, and sorted out his words.
"Folks and elders, you may think that this incident happened suddenly, but I want to tell you that the same thing has happened all over Shandong, and it has happened or is happening in every village.
Those kneeling here are the people who used to stand on your heads and show off their power, the four landlords in the village, your emperor, the people who can decide your life or death with just a few words. Are you surprised to see them kneeling here? ? "
It’s not just the frightened tenants below who are surprised?
Why aren’t the landlords and wealthy people on the stage surprised?
Are they blooming all over Shandong?
Is this happening throughout Shandong?
How can it be?
what happened?
Is this what the emperor wants to do? Or is it what the rebels are doing?
He couldn't believe what he heard at all, and he couldn't believe that this kind of thing was actually organized and disciplined. It didn't look like ordinary robbers robbing the village or rioters ransacking the village.
This kind of thing has definitely not happened before. Whether it was the Jin soldiers or the Song soldiers, during the chaos, no one knew how many landlords died tragically in Shandong and how many people were killed by them. But it was pure robbery. .
And what are these people doing?
Xu He was confused.
But then Xu He was no longer confused.
Because what Han Dezhi said was the crimes he had committed over the years.
From the time when Shandong fell into war six years ago, until now, he has actually told him one by one of the crimes he committed, including killing people and stealing goods, hiding weapons, raising private soldiers, and killing tenants. Well, they are all crimes punishable by death.
But no one bothered him in the past, no one wanted to execute him.
Of course it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t and can’t do it.
But things are different now.
There were fine beads of sweat on Xu He's forehead, and his body began to shake unconsciously.
It turned out that these people were really the emperor's people, and it was the emperor who wanted him dead!
He was desperate.
He couldn't believe that he, a mere tyrant from a small village, could actually be noticed by the almighty emperor.
The emperor actually wanted to deal with him personally!
What did he do to offend the emperor?
But the next development really surprised him.
