    The house is signed and pledged at the bank.

    Lin Zhongcheng smiled and asked, "How is your progress during my absence?"

    "Go back to Zhongcheng, hurry up and hurry up, the 27,000 acres of official land have been measured." Zheng Yuanshao's face was dark, obviously he had been basking in the fields these days.

    "Do you still need to measure the official land?" Lin Run said with a somewhat ugly face: "What this hospital wants you to measure is the civilian land!"

    "Ashamed, I was about to apologize to Zhongcheng" Zheng Yuanshao put the handkerchief back into his sleeve, stood up and bowed: "I will follow Zhongcheng's arrangements. The next day after you leave, I will take people to the village to prepare for the death of my father-in-law."  .¡±

    As he spoke, he said with a face full of shame: "But who would have expected that we would be blocked by a large group of unscrupulous people. They formed a human wall and stood in front of the fields, preventing us from clearing the land."

    Zheng Yuanshao wiped his sweat and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoguan and Xiaguan saw that the villagers were very excited. They were afraid that there would also be a civil unrest in Songjiang, and then there would be no way to end it, so we had to finish measuring the official land first."

    "" Lin Run listened to Zheng Yuanshao's words expressionlessly, and for a long time he said quietly: "So, not even an acre of civilian land has been measured?"

    "Yes" Zheng Yuanshao bowed with his arms trembling and sweating profusely: "The lower official is incompetent, please punish me by the Prime Minister."

    "Can I punish my parents-in-law by punishing you?" Lin Run snorted coldly.

    "Of course not." Zheng Yuanshao said with a wry smile: "The lower official followed Zhongcheng's instructions and repeatedly told the villagers, 'Jiangnan equalizes food and the government and the people', which is of great benefit to the common people. But people rely on the Xu family and are not convinced.  There is no need to pay for labor and money, and I don¡¯t like the court¡¯s preferential treatment at all. I just make up my mind and refuse to let my father-in-law be liberated!"

    "So, it's really difficult to deal with." Lin Run sneered and said, "Tomorrow you will take people with me to the countryside. I want to see with my own eyes how united the people of Songjiang are."

    "Yes." Zheng Yuanshao thought that it would be good to have a look, but he gave up after seeing it.

    The two said a few more words, and then Zheng Yuanshao resigned and returned to his official residence.

    After a while, one of his relatives casually left the governor's residence, walked around the city a few times, went to a seafood store and bought two salted fish, and then returned to the governor's residence leisurely.

    At the same time, the clerk from the seafood store also entered Afangyuan in the west of the city.

    ??~~

    Retreating to Sisi Garden in the east of the city, Xu Fan came out of Mianfeng Pavilion after serving his old father, who was addicted to opera, for a nap.

    Then I saw Xu Ying leaving and coming back.

    Xu Fan signaled his little brother to follow him away from Mianfeng Pavilion and to the Chaoshou Gallery.

    Fang asked in a low voice: "Did you get a letter from Zheng Yuanshao?"

    "Yes." Xu Ying nodded, quickly relayed the news to her eldest brother, and then pointed at Brother Thumb and said:

    "Brother, this is amazing! Lin Run really suppressed the Suzhou matter."

    "Of course. Now the ruling and opposition parties are becoming more and more sympathetic to my Xu family. If he attacks rashly without any real evidence, he will only suffer backlash."

    Xu Fan clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the remaining lotuses in the lake and said: "As the saying goes, it will be strong, then weak, and three times exhausted. As long as we can withstand one more wave of his attacks, Lin himself will be able to retreat."

    "Brother is referring to" Xu Ying's eyes darkened and she said, "Qing Zhang's land?"

    "Yes, tomorrow's confrontation is very crucial. We must show him the determination of our Songjiang people." Xu Fan said coldly.

    "But Zheng Yuanshao doesn't know which village he will go to tomorrow to pay his respects to his father?" Xu Ying said worriedly.

    "What does this have to do with anything?" Xu Fan sneered and said: "Which township is not my Xu family's territory? When you go back, call all the managers together and ask them to be prepared for tomorrow, joint defense and mutual protection, leaving no dead ends!"

    "Oh, okay." Xu Ying was excited and said, "Then there will be a big battle tomorrow."

    ¡°It¡¯s just to make a big fuss! It¡¯s best to make him disgraced!¡± Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Go back and tell the people in charge that everyone will fight for me tomorrow!¡±

    "The dead will be burned and buried with money, and the injured will be treated. Anyone who participates in eating on a flowing mat in the evening will be rewarded with money and food! The one who causes the most trouble will be given the surname Xu!"

    "Hiss" Xu Ying gasped in distress.  The Xu family has been prosperous for decades and has never been able to get in or out. How could it have been so generous?

    ¡°I can¡¯t bear to have my children as a trap, and I can¡¯t bear to have my wife unable to fight against the gangsters!¡± Xu Fan endured the heartache and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let him go if I fight for it once, and I won¡¯t have the shame to go to the countryside again!¡±

    "Hey, okay, big brother." Xu Ying nodded with difficulty.

    ??~~

    The next day before dawn, Lin Run and Zheng Yuanshao ordered their troops and horses, and led the governor's Yamen staff out in full force.

    In order to avoid leaking the news, he told no oneAs for the destination of the journey, they only urged the troops to go south to the Huangpu River, and then ordered the troops to take a rest at Huangni Temple.

    Lin Runze summoned Zheng Yuanshao and other mid-level and senior officials to assign tasks on the spot.  At this time, all the officials knew that the governor's first shot was fired at Xujiabang.

    Xujiabang is the hometown of Mr. Xu Ge. As long as the clearing here is completed, other places will naturally be solved.

    After he finished mobilizing his subordinates, the civil and military officials quickly called on the sergeants and took action.

    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, as soon as the officials and the sergeants left Huangni Temple, they saw villagers already standing on the road and on the field ridge outside.

    Seeing the officers, soldiers and government servants armed with swords and guns heading towards the fields, the villagers gathered together and formed human walls to stand between the officers and soldiers and the fields.

    "What are you going to do?" the government officials shouted angrily: "Are you going to rebel? Get out of the way!"

    ¡°We are standing on our own fields, what does it have to do with you?!¡± Someone hid behind the wall of villagers and shouted: ¡°Go quickly, go quickly, you are not welcome here!¡±

    The officer gave the order and ordered the sergeants to line up in a row. Those who drew their swords and those who raised their guns started to confront the villagers.

    "Listen carefully, we are here to measure the acres of land in the name of the governor. Anyone who dares to stop us can ask the king to order a flag and kill him on the spot!"

    "Don't listen, don't listen, you bastard is chanting sutras!"

    "If you can, kill us all!" The villagers relied on the large number of people and were not afraid of the threat of official officials at all.

    ??~~

    Huangni Temple.

    Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly entered the main hall to report.

    "Zhongcheng, the villagers have gathered again and are blocking us from getting close to the fields."

    Lin Run¡¯s face was as sinking as water, and he quickly walked out of the hall and came to the entrance of the temple on the hillside.

    I saw at least three to four thousand villagers, old and young, men and women, forming long human walls and confronting the officers and soldiers without giving in.

    And there were countless villagers coming from all directions, like a colony of ants that had discovered food. Lin Run's scalp was numb when he saw it.

    "Strange." Lin Run frowned. This action was fast and confidential. How did these villagers get the news and gather around so quickly?

    This is unscientific.

    You must know that there are only three to four hundred people in the whole village of Xujiabang. All the surrounding villages had to rush over as soon as possible to gather such a large formation.

    This is not something that a bunch of scattered villagers can do spontaneously.

    Lin Run understood that he was defeated again.
