These servants, who were so arrogant and proud just now, were so frightened that they scattered in all directions or turned and fled when they saw the war horses flying toward them.
But human power can't match the speed of horses.
"Porchi..."
"..."
The man who was alone in the rear was immediately separated.
The horse speeds up and the knight swings his sword, the force is unstoppable.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of Wu Laosan's twenty or so servants fell down, and the rest fled in all directions, with Yi Linwei chasing them separately.
Wu Laosan was bitten tightly by Li Xiaoqi.
He pulled up the reins, turned the horse's head, raised his sword at Wu Laosan and started to charge.
Wu Laosan was originally a Baihu official in the garrison department of Huai'an Prefecture. He was good at martial arts, and he was wearing Mingguang armor and could block swords.
At the same time, he knew the power of cavalry.
Therefore, when Li Xiaoqi charged forward with his horse, he would always roll on the ground to avoid the war horse and Yan Ling Dao.
After several rounds, Li Xiaoqi missed all the shots, while Wu Laosan just tried to escape but didn't take the move.
He rolled on the ground several times to dodge, and his helmet came off. His hair was disheveled, and he was covered in blood and dust. He was very embarrassed.
Twice I almost got trampled by horse hooves.
The martial arts technique of rolling on the ground is very physically demanding. In addition, he is wearing a Mingguang armor that weighs forty-eight pounds. After five or six rolls and lying down, Wu Laosan was panting and sweating profusely.
Of course Li Xiaoqi knew the opponent's weaknesses. This time he used the horse to change speed while running, reining in the horse to fly and turn.
Wu Laosan rolled around and was unable to dodge, and was suddenly kicked by his horse.
"Ouch..." a scream.
After Wu Laosan was kicked in the abdomen by the horse's hoof, he collapsed to the ground. Li Xiaoqi turned the horse's head and rode forward with a beautiful drag chop.
"Porchi..."
The knife blade cut into their necks, blood splashed on the grass, and they died.
The battle ended in five or six minutes.
After the bloody and cruel field battle of thousands of cavalry in the Battle of Jingnan, this kind of petty fighting was just playing house for elites like Yi Linwei.
The disparity in combat power between the two sides is huge.
Li Xiaoqi and the others won't even break a sweat.
"What to do with these corpses?"
Yang Shiqi pointed to the dozens of corpses on the ground and asked.
The servants in the Wu family compound have been designated as traitors, and the bald man is a fisherman on Hongze Lake, which is correct.
But they are not just fishermen.
The so-called "ferrymen" in the world are actually engaged in the underworld business of smuggling and trafficking.
The most obvious one here is illicit salt trafficking.
In this Zhang Xiaowu incident, in a sense, these green-skinned bald heads can also be regarded as victims.
But gathering a crowd to fight and kill in private is considered a crime according to Ming law.
"Let the other four small flag troops on standby outside the village come in, find people in the village to collect and register the bodies, and then notify the family members to come and claim them."
"The Wu family's servants and others will post official notices stating their respective crimes. As for the rebellious leader Wu Laosan, their heads will be cut off and hung in the village to show public apology."
"The sergeants bravely put down the chaos and fought decisively. This is recorded in the record, and they will be rewarded based on their merits afterwards."
Xu Qin dictated clearly and logically.
"Understood, I will obey."
Yang Shiqi, Su Zecheng, Li Xiaoqi and others took the order with clasped fists.
Although Xu Qin hated the bullies who oppressed the people, he was not a hero, but a wise man, and no one was allowed to trample on his own initiative under the law.
Although the "Da Ming Law" formulated by Emperor Taizu Gao is not perfect, there are rough lines for judging whether the world is tortuous or not.
There are principles, and he must uphold and respect them.
"Take care of the affairs in Gushan Town, and then continue to move towards Qinghe County, so that the audit teams distributed in various counties can implement the measures as soon as possible."
"Anyone who dares to blatantly uphold the old system, engage in corvee labor, and impose exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes with clever excuses will be punished."
Su Zecheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
The imperial envoy is going to be cruel!
Just when the cavalry was killing Wu Laosan and the others, Su Zecheng caught a glimpse of Xu Qin's hand pressing the sword hanging on the saddle.
It seemed that he wanted to take the sword out of its sheath and go kill people.
But in the end I endured it.
After all, he is the envoy, and people like Wu Laosan, who are just a few little shrimps, are really not worthy of Master Xu.
The imperial envoy after the military god is about to take action unless the situation is serious, or he is facing an official of fourth rank or above.
At this time, the cheers of the villagers came from outside.
Starting from the fight between Qingpi and Wu Laosan, the villagers went into their houses and closed the doors one after another, fearing that Chi Yu would be harmed.
Just now, a few brave villagers showed up to find out what was going on, and then they figured out what was going on.
Hearing the cheers, the villagers woke up from their dreams and rushed out of their houses to the east end of the village.
Many villagers cried and wanted to kowtow to Xu Qin's face.
They already knew that this young official led his troops to kill Wu Laosan, who was causing harm to the countryside, and the servants in the Wu family compound.
"Master Qingtian, the Wu family has taken away several of our villages and thousands of acres of farmland over the years."
"I don't know how many people died in the corvee every year, and there were also many refugees from other places who worked as cattle and horses for them."
"..."
The angry villagers stood on the grassland and began to denounce the incident.
Xu Laosan and Li Xiaoqi's first small flag guard stood several feet away from Xu Qin and did not allow the villagers to get close.
It seems that this Wu family compound is here to cover the sky with one hand, and the number of human lives committed or land occupied is too numerous to describe.
This time Xu Qin dared to kill Wu Laosan and his servants, which was a great merit for the local people.
After all, there is no fairness in this world. Officials protect each other, and the world is as dark as crows.
Xu Qin is well versed in:
We must implement the new land tax policy. If these rural bullies, local tyrants and evil gentry cannot be severely punished, these people will never have peace, and productivity will not be liberated.
"Fathers and fellow countrymen."
Xu Qin stood on a high place and said loudly to hundreds of villagers:
"I have been appointed by His Majesty the current emperor to implement a new land tax policy. From now on, corvee service will be abolished, equal pay will be provided for equal work, and taxes and grains will be paid according to the land area. Everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, farm and fish, and no one will be allowed to levy taxes on the villagers for no reason."
"Everyone, go home, find out the old land contracts, etc., and register them one by one with Mr. Yang and Mr. Su. Later, you will go to the town with me to find Wu Peigui and ask him to return the fields that have been occupied over the years. All debt obligations and IOUs are void."
"..."
Xu Qin's impassioned mobilization propaganda was difficult for the villagers to understand.
But the villagers could hear clearly that the Wu family should return the land and all debts and IOUs should be cancelled.
"Master Qingtian, you have brought justice to our villagers!"
"The Wu family has been crazy over the years. The old, weak, women and children in many villages in Gushan Town have often bullied them. They are simply worse than animals."
"???"
Of course, there is no shortage of lackeys in this world. As long as there are bullies, there will be a lot of lackeys.
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power, helping the Wu family to oppress the people of this town, village, and even their neighbors.
These villagers who usually knelt and licked the Wu family were caught out by the villagers.
He slapped himself hard and cried bitterly in the face of everyone's rejection.
