After hearing these complaints, the thin-faced tenant let out a long sigh.
Which family is not like this? Most of the grain produced in the fields every year has to be paid to the Cui family and Wang family as rent. At the same time, they also have to bear heavy taxes and labor every year.
The little food left at home was not enough for the family to eat. When they were not working, the family could only drink a little gruel every day. When the farming season was busy, they were willing to thicken the porridge and add an extra meal. In order to ensure that they could work. Live with strength.
"If you bear with me any longer, I think the Tiger Character Banner will capture Xiao Songji and divide the fields among us tenants." The thin-faced tenant patted the other party's shoulder with his hand.
He didn't know how to comfort him either.
But after all, he was not a member of the Tiger-Character Banner, so how could he know when the Tiger-Character Banner army outside the castle would attack Xiao Songji, so all he could do was to appease the other party.
Jia Duofu looked at the thin-faced tenant, bit his lip and said, "You didn't lie to me? The rebels outside will come to attack Xiao Songji, no, it's the tiger-character flag."
"Yes, I will definitely do it. Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion has taken it, and soon it will be our turn for Xiao Songji." The thin-faced tenant assured.
Because he knows that only by giving the other party hope can the other party be stabilized and not do anything drastic, thereby implicating the whole family.
"I knew that the Tiger Flag's army had already arrived at Xiao Song Ji, and there was no way they would leave Xiao Song Ji alone." Jia Duofu's tone became much more relaxed.
The thin-faced tenant patted Jia Duofu's upper arm with his hand and said, "Let's go back to bed first, otherwise you won't be able to sleep even if you want to when it gets up."
With that said, he pulled the other person and started to walk back.
But after walking a few steps, he found several figures standing behind the corner. He was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away.
"Gou Sheng, is everything you said true?" the middle figure behind the corner said.
Hearing this, the thin-faced tenant recognized that the owner of the voice was the same as him, Qin San, who was also a tenant of the Cui family.
"You scared me, why are you staying here without sleeping?" The thin-faced tenant did not respond to Qin San's words, but asked the other party.
Qin San stared at him and asked again: "Gou Sheng, we grew up together. Don't lie to me. Are what you and Brother Duofu said just now true?"
There were several tenants standing next to them, and they were all staring directly at the thin-faced tenant.
"It's true, it's all true." At this time, the thin-faced tenant could only affirm the words to appease Jia Duofu, and at the same time said, "I said this from my own mouth, and if you hear it, please don't spread it out, Cui If the family members knew about it, they would definitely not let me or you go."
"Don't worry, we won't tell." Qin San promised.
"Yeah, we won't tell."
"Don't worry Gou Sheng, we will never talk nonsense."
Several other tenants also gave their assurances.
However, these people's guarantees still made the thin-faced tenant look bitter.
At this moment, I felt extremely regretful. I blamed myself for saying anything about the tiger-character flag's land division, otherwise I wouldn't have caused so much trouble.
Now he just hopes that what his cousin said is true, and that the Tiger Character Flag will really allocate the fields to the tenants.
"The more people know about it, the more danger it will be. I think you might as well go out of the city, Gou Sheng, and confirm with the Tiger Flag army outside the castle the time to attack Xiao Songji. We can also cooperate with them. What do you think? What?" Jia Duofu said at this time.
He is the person who most hopes that the Tiger Character Banner will win the Xiao Song Ji and distribute the land to each household.
Because the Cui family was forcing the family to live no longer. If the people from the Tiger Flag didn't come again, his family would probably find a rope to hang themselves at home.
"Brother Duofu, this is a good idea. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. If it's been delayed for a long time, there's no guarantee that the long-term workers and servants of the Cui family won't know about it." Qin San supported it from the side.
Hearing this, the thin-faced tenant looked bitter and said, "I'm not familiar with the people in the Tiger Flag, and I only know about the Tiger Flag through my cousin."
"That's better than us. We still heard about such a thing from your mouth." Qin San said.
The thin-faced tenant would definitely do such a risky thing, so he would naturally evade it in every possible way.
The people of the Tiger Character Banner said that they allocate fields to every household, but it was also said by others. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but one thing was true. The Tiger Character Banner was a rebel army of the Ming Dynasty.
Since he is a rebel, how could he, a common man, not be afraid?
"Gou Sheng, you are the most suitable among us, and everyone is willing to listen to you. If you don't go, once the news leaks out at dawn, you will be the most dangerous." Jia Duofu is looking forward to the army of tiger flags the most. Being able to enter the earth fortress, naturally they don't want to see the other party retreat.
Several other tenants nodded, hoping that the thin-faced tenant would contact the people with the tiger-shaped flag outside the castle.
After all, let them go, and they are afraid.
"Brother Duofu is right. Now that so many people know that you, Gou Sheng, are related to those people outside the castle, there is no guarantee that no one will leak the news to the Cui family." Qin San agreed from the side.
The thin-faced tenant frowned when he heard this and said, "Didn't you just promise not to leak it out? Why don't you keep your word!"
I felt unhappy.
"We can keep it a secret, but who can guarantee that no one else is eavesdropping? It's such a dark situation, even if someone is eavesdropping, it's hard to be discovered, so I think it's better to choose a different day. Just tonight, even if someone wants to go To inform the Cui family, they wouldn’t dare to do so with so many people watching,” Qin San said.
Seeing that several people were talking more and more seriously, the thin-faced tenant became frightened.
People's hearts are apart, who can guarantee whether someone will betray him to the Cui family for some benefit.
"Don't hesitate, you won't be able to stop the whistleblower in the daytime." Jia Duofu said again.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for his answer.
The thin-faced tenant who was forced onto the beam swept his eyes over the people in front of him one by one, gritted his teeth and said, "I can go, but you all have to listen to me in the future."
"We listen to you." Qin San promised hastily.
Jia Duofu also said: "Yes, we listen to you."
"Yes, I listen to you."
In addition to the two of them, other tenants also expressed their opinions.
"Do you have a rope? If you want to climb over the earth wall, you need a rope. Otherwise, there will be too much noise when going down, which will easily scare the Cui family's long-term workers." asked the thin-faced tenant.
Since you want to leave the castle and go to the military camp outside, you must be prepared.
"I have a piece of hemp rope, but it's a little short." A tenant took out the hemp rope tied around his waist.
Qin San took his belt, held up his pants with one hand and said, "Everyone, please take off your belt, it's enough to connect them together."
With Qin San taking the lead, several other tenants also took off their belts.
Of course, not everyone's belt can be used. One tenant's belt is just a thin hemp rope, which breaks as soon as it is pulled and cannot be used at all.
