Chapter 149 Hit the wall!
This little money can't even buy a farm in Junyang, let alone this is the new capital.
The whole Tianwu people came over. If five hundred taels of silver could buy fifty acres of land, they would be laughing.
But the Broken Gold Beach is a full 400 acres, and now there are hot springs!
Let alone five hundred taels, they won’t even consider ten thousand taels!
This is their new home, the blessed land given by God!
“If you don’t want to sell it, get out!” The village chief took back the land deed and the road guide, his eyes were red with anger, he was almost tricked just now.
“Yes, you won’t sell it for any amount of money, get out of here!”
“Get out!”
The villagers shouted loudly, echoing in the valley.
Perhaps the commotion was a bit loud, or maybe someone was curious about the hot springs here last night. Not far outside the valley, villagers near No. 100 gradually gathered.
They looked at the small waterfall with the same eager eyes. Some even ran to the waterway and washed their faces and hands with the hot spring, which was extremely novel.
Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou looked at each other and knew that they must not give in today, otherwise people from other villages would be watching. Seeing that they were weak and easy to bully, they might be bullied in the future.
The county magistrate was so angry that he jumped up and down, almost feeling like his face was being torn off and rubbing against the ground.
Forget it if it was the wealthy families from the north in Xindu, a group of mud-legged people actually rode on his head.
He was so angry that he gave the order.
“Beat me, beat these untouchables to death, they dare to occupy my territory! Beat them out!”
The henchmen who follow him are usually good at bullying men and dominating women.
Whenever the young master shows his power, who will kneel down and beg for mercy? When have you ever encountered such a hard nut?
They could no longer bear it any longer. Now they took out the sticks they had with them, cursed and rushed forward.
“Here, don’t you take a knife? Cut me on the neck!”
“A bunch of untouchables dare to challenge our young master!”
The village chief didn't want to seriously cause any deaths, so he shouted to the villagers, "Throw away the hatchet and grab the pole. If they dare to come forward, I will beat them! If we beat someone to death, we will go to Xindu and kneel down to apologize! I want to Ask the emperor, ask the officials in Xindu, does the emperor have the final say in the world, or does a small county magistrate have the final say?"
“Old guy, you’re quite smooth-talking! Beat me up!”
That young man was also angry and shouted something.
Hence, a dozen or so scoundrels became more ferocious and rushed forward.
But they are doomed to fail this time. In the past, they were like tigers among sheep when facing the people, but today they are like sheep among tigers!
As soon as they met each other, Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou raised their hands to hold their sticks, then picked them up at their waists and threw them out heavily.
Three or four of the losers who came up later were knocked down without even waiting to swing their sticks to hit people.
Before he could even get up, the villagers were already rushing up.
Long poles, pickaxes and hoes fell like raindrops, and the thugs were beaten so hard that they were unable to resist.
“Ouch, ouch, it hurts me so much!”
“Stop fighting, wuwu, my arm is broken!”
“Sir, help me, please help me!”
More than twenty villagers versus a dozen scoundrels, it was an overwhelming advantage, and they won a complete victory in just a moment. More than a dozen dog legs were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They were **** and thrown into a pile like adult pigs.
Whoever dares to shout will be immediately kicked down by the villagers without mercy.
The young man became a polished commander. His face turned pale with fright, and he tried his best to pretend to be fierce and shouted, "My father is the county magistrate. If you dare to touch me, you will definitely not end well!"
“What’s wrong with your father being a county magistrate? The magistrate can cover the sky with one hand and commit crimes?” Li Laosi stepped forward and knocked him down, pulled his hair and tied him up.
“When I was killing the barbarians, you were hiding behind your father’s back and peeing your pants!” Liu Biaotou also stepped forward and kicked him. He picked up the county magistrate and threw him together with his thugs.
The people in the villages outside the valley looked at it from a distance, shrinking their necks in shock.
"Aren't these people from the north fleeing from the famine? This is too cruel! He is the county magistrate, and he will beat him whenever he wants and tie him up whenever he wants."
“That’s right, it’s really outrageous. I kicked them out when they went to the village to exchange for cabbage and radishes. Will they hold grudges?”
“Don’t say that, I gave the county magistrate the way just now. Are they going to kill me and go to my house?”
Everyone was afraid at first, but they actually had no grudges. They were just jealous when they saw hot springs dug out in the valley last night.
When asked by the county magistrate who stayed at the hotel this morning, they said a few more words.
Not to mention that everyone outside the valley was feeling guilty and scared, but that Li Laosi and others were a little worried after arresting someone.
Although they are in control, this is the county magistrate's son after all. How should we deal with him in the future?
You can't just kill him and bury him in public, right?
The village chief clicked his pipe pot twice and said to his fellow villagers.
"Pack up your things, let's go and file a complaint in Xindu! This Broken Gold Beach was originally a lump of earth, but when the hot springs were dug out, it turned into a lump of gold. Today, the county magistrate is here to rob it, but tomorrow there may be something. Mr. Fu, Mr. Prime Minister is here to rob us! Why don’t we break the pot and go to the new capital!”
"Yes," Li Laosi also had a bad temper, "Let's ask the high officials in the new capital, now the court's words don't mean it? Anyone can take away the land allocated to us by the court, so what else does the court have? What prestige!”
"Yes, enter the new capital and file a complaint! The worst we can do is die in the new capital! If we are not given a way to survive, we will not survive!"
“We are not afraid of wolves or bandits in the deep mountains and old forests, so why are we afraid of being sued? At worst, we may starve to death in front of the palace!”
I have to say that the escape route of more than a thousand miles from north to south has completely inspired the courage and ferocity of this group of farm men!
Immediately, everyone must pack up their things and rush to Xindu.
The others were fine, but the county magistrate and the scoundrels were completely dumbfounded.
They are jealous of the hot springs here and want to take them for themselves or buy them at a low price.
Is this a big deal? It has been done not only a thousand times but also eight hundred times before.
Why can’t it happen this time?
They have been beaten into such a miserable state, and they have to be taken to Xindu to be punished!
Recalling the few words of his father's instructions when he went out, the county magistrate was completely panicked.
The emperor suddenly moved the capital, and too many dignitaries and high-ranking officials came from the north. If they wanted to settle down, they would inevitably have many conflicts with the local aristocratic families.
Today's Xindu is like a powder keg, with more and more contradictions and hatred accumulated between the two sides, and maybe it will explode if something goes wrong.
He doesn’t want to be the fuse!
"Oh, folks, it's all my fault! It's my fault that I look down on others, and I shouldn't have bought or sold by force! You adults don't remember the faults of villains, so just let us go. Just pretend we haven't been here today. OK? Let’s not go to Xindu, I admit it, I admit it!”
The county magistrate's son struggled and fell to his knees, begging for mercy very sincerely.
The villagers did not expect that he was so "flexible and flexible" and that he would admit his mistakes and beg for mercy so quickly.
Going to Xindu to file a complaint, how can it be so powerful?
Mrs. Cui guessed it somewhat, and stepped forward to have a few words with the village chief and Mr. Li.
Everyone knew the whole story and felt less contempt for the county magistrate. Although this person was greedy, luckily he still had some thoughts and didn't just eat everything.
