He smiled and nodded to Wu Laosi and praised:
"Well, the fourth child has shown a fearless spirit now. This makes him look like a descendant of my Wu clan. That's good."
"Let's do this. My father will transfer ten people from his personal guards to you. You don't need to kill many people indiscriminately. You only need to kill a few leading mud-legged people and disperse the rest!"
"My child will obey your father's orders!"
Wu Laosi was so excited that he didn't forget about it.
He rolled his eyes at Wu Laoer and babbled at him, then walked out of the main hall with his head held high, took ten well-armed servants with him, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
"Open the door!"
Wu Laosi's voice seemed full of energy.
The tall and heavy double doors creaked open, and Wu Laosi, surrounded by ten well-decorated servants, stepped out of the door with dignity and stood on the wide steps.
The villagers in front of the door were frightened by this power and subconsciously retreated.
Those who are timid quickly apply oil on the soles of their feet and slip away.
"Mother, who was in charge just now? Stand up for me."
Wu Laosi is so proud!
He squinted forward and shouted disdainfully.
Most of the villagers were looking around and whispering.
They were counting on the high-spirited young official during the day and his capable officers and soldiers to stand up and help them get justice.
About a hundred steps behind the noisy crowd, Xu Qin and his team were watching the development of the entire situation very calmly, with bright eyes.
He changed his appearance as a young man during the day and now also wore bright armor.
Behind him was a full flag team wearing battle armor and fully armed, with a total of fifty-six officers and soldiers.
Under the cover of darkness, they stood ready.
Five to six hundred villagers were mobilized, rushed to the town, and surrounded the Wu family compound.
This fully shows that the majority of villagers still have survival awareness and are far from the numb state of being completely enslaved.
Popular support is still available.
It’s just the Ming Dynasty’s traditional farming economy and backward and decadent bureaucratic governance system that determines that bullies like Wu Peigui can run rampant in the lower-class villages for a long time.
Most of the villagers here, not to mention the emperor and ministers, even the county magistrate have never seen each other in person.
The sky above their heads is the town official Wu Peigui.
Wu Laosan was right. In Gushan Town, Wu Peigui in the Wu family compound was the emperor.
Land is the lifeblood of everyone, but most of it is in Wu Peigui's hands.
Therefore, who dares to expect these farmers to fight against Wu Peigui in the overlord Wu family compound?
Tonight, officials still need to take action.
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Although not loud, it is clear and firm.
"Folks of Gushan Town! The Wu family has been ruthless for many years, running rampant in the countryside and denying us a way to survive. Tonight we rebel against him."
Xu Qin felt that the voice sounded familiar and asked Yang Shiqi next to him.
"It was the little woman by the greenhouse when we first entered the village, Zhang Xiaowu's mother-in-law..."
Oh...remembered.
At this time, Zhang's wife's arm was still wrapped in black gauze.
Previously, she and some members of the Zhang family buried several homeless green-skinned brothers and hurried to the town.
She was ready to risk her life tonight.
People were surprised to find that the thin Zhang's wife was waving her arms and shouting excitedly.
Several members of the Zhang clan around her also stood up, waving their iron rakes and hoes, and shouted loudly.
As long as someone takes the lead in agitating, there will be many followers.
"What are you talking about? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
When Wu Laosi saw this, he shouted sternly, pulled out the Yanling knife from his waist with a cry, pointed the cold-light tip of the knife directly at the crowd in front, and howled:
"Mom, let's see who dares to get close. I have no eyesight, young master!"
Su Zecheng, who had been watching with cold eyes since the initial instigation, now had a solemn look in his eyes.
The entire action plan tonight was the result of discussions between him, Yang Shiqi and Xu Qin.
It aims to mobilize the masses, touch their nerves that are about to become numb, and inspire their initiative for their own rights and interests.
But the actual situation is very unsatisfactory.
He knew that this situation was very detrimental to the process.
Therefore, he must take action at the right time and add fire.
"Villagers, don't be afraid. The evil people in the Wu Family Courtyard have been bullying us for so many years. We will fight them tonight."
"Yes... fight!"
To start a riot, you need organizers, and someone needs to drive the rhythm of the villagers' fighting mood.
At this time, everyone on the scene roared like thunder.
Normally, everyone is cowardly, but when the crowd was in a rage, the anger they had stored in their chests was aroused.
Thus showing extremely strong courage and perseverance.
Xu Qin, who had been observing calmly not far away, felt ripples in his heart for the first time.
Farmers of this era are in urgent need of proper agitation.
It seems that it is not as numb as imagined, so unchangeable.
Amidst the excitement, the villagers continued to rush forward with iron rakes, hoes and even dung forks in hand.
Wu Laosi is a young boy who is strong on the outside but hard on the inside, and has never experienced big storms.
In the past, his father would hold the battle, while his brothers would compete.
Today he volunteered, but in fact he looked stern and was very sad.
He was too timid to be tough, while his servants were happy to be lazy and fish.
In this situation, the master is shrinking, why is he holding on and trying to die?
Soon, Wu Laosi and his servants were forced back to the gate by the villagers.
The shadow of death gradually loomed over their hearts.
At this time, Wu Laosi's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In front of such a huge crowd, he gave in.
I no longer dare to do what Haikou boasted in front of my father and brother, and kill these mud-legged people.
Even Wu Peigui's warning to kill only the leader was forgotten by him.
"Close the door! Hurry and close the door for me!"
But the door to the Wu family compound was tall and heavy, and had to be pushed slowly by a few sturdy men before it could be closed.
It's too late, it's fast.
Su Zecheng's side was dressed as villagers, and several plainclothes Yilin guards responsible for protecting him had already rushed forward, rushed into the courtyard, and showed off their weapons one after another.
"Ouch, there's a spy!"
Someone among the servants shouted, and Wu Laosi's heart skipped a beat. No matter what, he turned around and ran away inside.
But before he could take two steps, he was caught up by a Yilin guard.
"Porchi..."
The Yan Ling knife pierced the left chest from the back with a strong force that reached to the hilt.
The blade was drawn out with a string of blood beads.
Wu Laosi didn't even have time to hum. He lay on the ground and twitched a few times before dying.
A pool of scarlet blood slowly seeped out from underneath him.
When the servants saw that the fourth young master was dead, they all wiped the soles of their feet with oil and became like birds and beasts.
The gate to the Wu family compound was controlled by the villagers.
"Chief Flag Officer, blow the trumpet and march."
Xu Qin issued the attack order with confidence, preparing to live up to his dream of becoming a general.
"Dudu... dadudu..."
The attack horns sounded in the army.
Yi Linwei, who was covered in black armor with only a pair of eyes exposed, activated.
