As for this broken door, when they came to kill Wang Yuanwai yesterday, Han Zhen didn't do much and kicked it open.
Not to mention blocking hundreds of people.
Moreover, even if they were to be killed, there was no reason for the whole village to come.
Is it possible that he still wants women and children to see how to kill people?
Seeing that Ma Sangou and the others were still hesitating, Han Zhen stepped forward and opened the side door.
On the threshing floor outside the house, there were more than 300 people standing in darkness, with several tenants standing in front, and a tied man lying on the ground.
Han Zhen stepped out of the side door and looked around at everyone: "What's going on?"
A tenant explained: "Xiao Langjun, Wang Laizi wanted to go to the county town in the middle of the night to report to the official. When Tan Qiang found out, he actually stabbed Tan Qiang with a hatchet."
Hearing this, Han Zhen looked indifferent, but he couldn't help but feel happy.
He was worried that he could not find a suitable opportunity to unite the villagers, but the other party came to his door.
Glancing at Wang Laizi, who was tied up on the ground, Han Zhen looked at Tan Qiang again.
Under the light of the torch, Tan Qiang looked pale.
Han Zhen asked with concern: "Is it important?"
Tan Qiang shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao Lang. I just looked at it and the wound is not deep."
"That's good!"
Someone in the crowd asked aloud: "Xiao Langjun, how should Wang Laizi be dealt with?"
Han Zhen quickly organized some words in his mind and said loudly: "Fellow folks, since everyone is here, I will say a few words that speak from my heart. I am not afraid of officers and soldiers. Even if I can't defeat them, I will bring some money up the mountain with me. Even if you are a mountain king, you will still be free and happy."
"The reason why I stayed here is because I saw that you were living too hard, and I wanted to make your life better. Ask yourself, have you had enough to eat in these years, even just one meal?"
More than 300 people were silent.
He didn't speak, but he already answered.
At this time, Han Zhen looked at Tan Qiang and asked loudly: "Tan Qiang, have you eaten enough today?"
"I'm full. Three big bowls of wheat rice soaked in broth are so delicious." Tan Qiang said and couldn't help but licked his lips.
For a moment, all the villagers looked at these tenants with envy in their eyes.
"If the officers and soldiers come to kill me, I will just go up the mountain. What about you? Although Wang Yuanwai is dead, Zhang Yuanwai, Li Yuanwai, and even Liu Yuanwai will soon be there... By then, you will have changed back to your previous appearance and you will not be able to eat. Full of food, endless taxes to pay, and endless suffering!”
"What do you think we should do with him?"
After Han Zhen finished speaking, he looked at the villagers in front of him quietly.
"kill him!"
Suddenly, a loud shout broke the silence.
As soon as Tan Qiang finished shouting, he was startled.
When he heard Han Zhen's words, he felt a big ball of depression accumulated in his heart, and he couldn't let it out.
But after shouting, he felt a little regretful. Just when he was at a loss, another loud shout broke out from the crowd.
"kill him!"
Immediately afterwards, more and more people shouted, and finally they became one and resounded throughout the night sky.
For no other reason than they want to eat well and wear warm clothes.
A smile flashed in Han Zhen's eyes, and the sword in his hand was raised high, then suddenly dropped.
Poof!
Blood splattered everywhere.
It was also a public killing, but one day later, this time the villagers did not scream in fear, nor did they run away, but looked happy.
From this moment on, Xiaowang Village completed its initial unity.
To say it is preliminary, because the vast majority of villagers have not tasted the sweetness yet.
It will be half a month later, when the wheat is harvested, that the villagers who do not have to pay taxes will be completely united.
Before that, Han Zhen needed to give them some sweetness to keep the villagers motivated.
He took a step forward and said loudly: "I am ready to take in the fugitives. If I can attract a fugitive household, I will always reward you with money. If there is a blacksmith or scholar among the fugitive households, the reward will be doubled."
The villagers had just learned about this news from Wang Hong's mouth, but they were dubious.
Now that he said it himself, everyone completely believed it.
Seeing them whispering to each other and looking ready to make a move, Han Zhen quickly dissuaded them: "There are many tigers and leopards in the mountains. It's not safe to go up the mountain at night. It's not too late to go tomorrow."
If you go up the mountain at this late hour, you might as well be eaten by a wild beast without being found.
After his persuasion, many people calmed down.
"What happened?"
Just as the villagers were about to disperse, the leader's voice sounded.
Everyone looked at the sound and saw the village chief and his son Wang Sheng leading five people in a hurry.
"Wang Diarrhea!"
Under the dim light of the torch, some villagers recognized that these five people were Wang Leli's family who had fled up the mountain two days ago.
This dog's life is so long, he really eats alone.
He actually went up the mountain to look for the fugitive in the middle of the night without telling them.
Seeing the villagers staring at him with strange expressions, Li Chang felt a little guilty and asked with a smile: "Why are they gathered here in the middle of the night?"
Someone explained: "Wang Laizi wanted to go to the county town in the middle of the night to report to the officials, but we caught him and the young man killed him."
"Good kill!"
The headmaster shouted loudly.
This Wang Laizi deserves to die for actually thinking of reporting to the official.
If officers and soldiers come, where will he receive the reward?
The villagers were originally preparing to disperse, but when they saw the village chief returning with the fugitives, they were no longer in a hurry to leave and stayed to watch the fun.
Seeing this, the village chief couldn't force the villagers to drive away, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Village Chief, this person is Wang Leidi. He was assigned to the Yamen a few days ago, so he took his family and fled into the mountains overnight. I persuaded you to come back."
Han Zhen looked the other person up and down and said, "I have heard that it is said that Wang Yuanwai took a fancy to his family's ancestral paddy field, so he called Master Xu to classify his family as a third-class household."
"It's true." The chief nodded.
Hearing the words Wang Yuanwai, a trace of resentment flashed in Wang Yuanwai's eyes, and then he suddenly knelt down on the ground and prayed: "Young Master, I don't want that wasteland and five buckets of rice. I just want to use the three acres of paddy fields inherited from my ancestors." Give it back to me."
Hearing this, the head of the village changed his expression and shouted from the side: "You are really ignorant. The young man saw that you were pitiful in the mountains and gave you two acres of wasteland. He has already shown great kindness. How dare you take advantage of it!"
Even many villagers felt that Wang Lili had gone too far and pointed fingers at him.
Who would have thought that Han Zhen was not angry, but smiled and said: "Okay, I will return the three acres of paddy field to you!"
There was a rare opportunity to buy horse bones for thousands of dollars, so how could he let it go.
It’s only three acres of paddy field. With Wang Leliu as a good leader, are you still afraid that those fleeing households in the mountains won’t be interested?
Moreover, it can also enhance his prestige and reputation among the villagers.
Sure enough, as soon as Han Zhen finished speaking, the villagers looked at him in disbelief.
That’s three acres of paddy field!
It is several times more expensive than dry land, and the result is given as promised.
This young gentleman is truly unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness!
Wang Lili was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he banged his head three times and cried bitterly: "Thank you, Mr. Young Master, thank you so much, Mr. Young Master!"
"Get up quickly."
After helping Wang Lili up, Han Zhen ordered: "It's late at night, let's go home first, and come back tomorrow to sign the deed."
Then, he turned around and said: "Three dogs, go find my sister-in-law to get some money from the warehouse and give it to the chief."
Soon, Ma Sangou came back with a lot of money.
Handing the money to the head of the village, Han Zhen warned: "Thank you for the hard work, head of the village. Just look for the fugitives during the day and don't go up the mountain at night."
The head of the village nodded in agreement, holding a lot of money in his hand, smiling heartily.
In just over two hours, I had already made a lot of money, so I got up early tomorrow and continued to go to the mountains to recruit fugitives.
When the other villagers saw this, their eyes were fiery. If they hadn't been concerned about the tigers and leopards in the mountains, they would have swarmed up the mountain.
Finally, Han Zhen asked someone to bring a basket of eggs to Tan Qiang and told him to go home and recuperate.
This moved Tan Qiang so much that he felt that the blow was not in vain.
Watching the villagers leave in twos and threes, Han Zhen raised a smile on his lips.
Tonight, he won.
