Chapter 778 A feint

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Mr. Zhongcheng is standing on the hillside behind him. How dare the officials at the foot of the mountain not perform their best?

    They gathered the horses together, a total of one hundred and fifty, and then covered the eyes of the horses with cloth strips.

    The cavalrymen held their reins nervously and looked at the two sides facing each other dozens of steps away.

    "I'll count dozens!" A seventh-grade official shouted to the villagers with a tin trumpet: "Disperse immediately, or we will forcefully drive them away!"

    "ten!"

    "Nine!"

    During the count, the opposing officers and soldiers retreated to both sides, leaving space for the cavalry to charge.

    "five!"

    "Four!"

    "three!"

    The blindfolded horse snorted and paved its hooves anxiously.

    The villagers on the opposite side couldn¡¯t help but show expressions of fear. Many people¡¯s legs were weak and timid, and they wanted to get out of the way.

    But there were so many people packed in front, back, left and right that you couldn¡¯t move even if you wanted to.

    "Don't be afraid!" the Xu family servants among the crowd shouted: "They are trying to scare us. Lin Run loves the people like his own children and will not hurt us!"

    "Let them measure the acres, and no one will have anything to eat in the future!"

    "You have to pay taxes and you have to do hard labor! You will never be able to be members of the Xu family!"

    "If you die, you will be burned and buried in the mansion. If you are injured, you will be treated in the mansion. Don't be afraid, just hold on to me!"

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this round of shouting really worked, and the villagers regained their footing.

    "One!" the official shouted.

    The cavalrymen suddenly became worried and clamped down on their horses.  Countless horses' hooves turned over and rushed forward!

    Amidst the clatter of horse hooves, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, as if there were thousands of horses riding on them.

    Everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats.

    Many women, children and women were so frightened that they cried loudly and cried for their father and mother, but they were wrapped up and unable to move by the villagers.

    We can only watch the cavalry getting faster and faster, getting closer and closer!

    Seeing that the wall of people still persisted, the soldiers on horseback became nervous.  Many cavalrymen looked back at the officer holding the flag high.

    However, the official could not withstand the pressure and looked back at the gate of Huangni Temple.

    This is a deterrent method used by the government to suppress the will of the people. However, once the villagers make up their minds to resist to the end, the pressure will return to the government.

    Lin Run¡¯s face was ashen, he gritted his teeth and shouted: ¡°Withdraw!¡±

    The official's ears are also good, so he immediately asked the Yamen servant on the side to ring gold.

    clang clang clang!

    With the sound of gold ringing, all the cavalrymen suddenly pulled their horse reins back.

    Finally, less than three feet away from the human wall, he stopped abruptly.

    Many war horses raised their front hooves high, almost knocking off the villagers at the front.

    They were so frightened that they sat on the ground, and almost no one was hurt.

    ??~~

    "You idiot!" Zheng Yuanshao spat and asked with a sullen face, "Zhongcheng, what should I do?"

    Lin Run did not answer. He glanced at the dark villagers and turned to leave.

    He has seen everything he wanted to see.

    The Xu family and the villagers of Songjiang have formed a community of interests.

    The Xu family protected the villagers to avoid taxes and corvee, and the villagers were willing to be driven by the Xu family and used the tactics of a sea of ????people to fight against the government.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    So he didn¡¯t waste any time trying to persuade the villagers, he just turned around and left without any hesitation.

    ??~~

    Afang Garden.

    The Xu brothers have been waiting anxiously for the news.

    At noon, Xu Ba ran in with a happy face to report.

    "Withdraw, withdraw, Lin Run withdraws!"

    "Oh?" Xu Ying jumped up from the chair, grabbed Xu Ba, and said excitedly: "Tell me, what's going on?!"

    Xu Ba then told them how to keep an eye on the governor's office and how to gather the people to fight against the officials and soldiers.  If you encourage the people to stand in front of the charging cavalry, tell them vividly to the two gentlemen.

    "I admit that we are gambling." Xu Bayi said with a smile on his face: "As long as those cavalry take a few steps forward and knock down a few people, the crowd will disperse."

    "But Lin Run didn't dare to hurt Mud Legs and shouted stop at the last moment." Xu Ba's tail was almost raised to the sky.

    "Now all the anger of the officers and soldiers was exhausted, and they could only withdraw in despair."

    "Hahahaha!" Xu Ying patted the table, laughed so hard that she wiped her tears and said, "I'm so proud of you! Women!"How can kindness achieve great things?  "

    "The so-called Qingliu are like this. They have too much burden and can't do anything." Xu Fan smiled contemptuously and said, "Let's go and greet the governor."

    "Let's go together." How could Xu Ying let go of this good opportunity to watch a joke?

    The two brothers mounted their tall horses and arrived at Jixianmen, surrounded by their servants, preparing to create a 'chance encounter' and ridicule Lin Zhongcheng, who had returned home in vain.

    Just like a terrorist organization needs to claim someone after committing a crime, Xu Fan also had to let Lin Run know clearly that what happened today was behind the will of the Xu family.

    ??~~

    Unexpectedly, they waited and waited until after noon, when they were hungry, but still did not see Lin Run and his army return.

    They didn¡¯t know what was going on until Xu Ba, who was inquiring about the news, came back.

    "What, you left by boat?" Xu Fan was a little confused when he heard this.

    "Yes, their warships have been waiting in Shenjiawan for a long time. They left Xujiabang and boarded the ship."

    The Xu brothers looked at each other in surprise.

    Isn¡¯t Lin Zhongcheng too glass-hearted?  Even if we don¡¯t clear the land, we can¡¯t just turn around and leave.

    We can still talk about it and find a way of measurement that everyone is happy with.

    "What's going on now that you're gone?"

    "Where have they gone?" Xu Ying asked again, thinking that if she hurried to Dazhangjing, she might still run into them.

    "Flow the river." Xu Ba's answer was completely different.

    ¡°Down the river?¡± The brothers were confused again.

    Dazhang Jingcong is an artificial canal that passes through Songjiang Fucheng and connects Wusong River and Huangpu River.

    If Lin Run goes back to Suzhou, he should go north along Dazhangjing River instead of going down the river.

    Although you can reach Wusong River by going down the river, you have to go in a big circle and walk an extra hundred or dozens of miles.

    Therefore, there is only one destination when going down the Huangpu River!

    "Why did he go to Shanghai? Fishing?" Xu Fan looked to the northeast with a puzzled look on his face.

    The development of the two counties of Songjiang Prefecture, Huating and Shanghai, is extremely uneven. 80% of the population and land are in Huating.

    So Huating people often look down on Shanghainese.

    In fact, the population and annual income of Shanghai County are larger than those of Kunshan

    Well, I can only find confidence in Deputy Squad Leader Su Song.

    "Could it be that I hit a snag here and picked up the weak persimmons?" Xu Ying said with a teasing smile.

    "It's possible." Xu Fan touched the beard on his chin and said uncertainly.

    Although the Xu family also owns extensive land in Shanghai, their control is not as good as that of Huating.

    Because when Lu Shen, the old man of the Lu family in Shanghai, was still alive, he had a close relationship with Mr. Xu Ge and had a close relationship, so the Xu family's food appearance was not too ugly.

    But when Xu Fan thought about it, this didn¡¯t look like Lin Run¡¯s style either.

    ¡°That¡¯s a ruthless person who dares to bring the Yan family and the Lu family to death.

    The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Shanghai too and see what kind of monster he is!"

    ps. The third update, I¡¯ll write it tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
