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 Broken Gold Beach is a full 400 acres, and now there are hot springs!
Not to mention five hundred taels, they won't even consider ten thousand taels!
This is their new home, a 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, as he had almost been tricked.
"Yes, I won't sell it for any amount of money. Get out!"
"Get out!"
The villagers shouted loudly, echoing in the valley.
Maybe there was a lot of noise, 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, and 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 followed him were usually good at bullying men and women.
Whenever the young master shows his power, who doesn't kneel down and beg for mercy? When have they ever encountered such a tough nut?
They couldn't bear it any longer. Now they took out their sticks and rushed forward with curses.
"Here, don't you take a knife? Cut my neck!"
"A bunch of untouchables dare to challenge our young master!"
The village chief didn't want to seriously cause trouble, so he shouted to the villagers, "Throw away the hatchet and grab the pole." , if they dare to come forward, beat me! If we beat someone to death, we will go to Xindu and kneel down to apologize! I would like to ask the emperor and the officials in Xindu, does the emperor have the final say in the world, or is it someone else? The little county magistrate has the final say!"
"Old guy, you are so smooth-talking! Hit me!"
The young man also got angry and shouted.
As a result, more than a dozen scoundrels acted more and more fiercely and rushed forward.
But they are destined 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.
The losers who came up later were knocked down by three or four of them before they could use their sticks to hit people.
Before he could get up, the villagers were already rushing up.
The 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, oooh, my arm is broken!"
"Sir, help me, help me!"
More than 20 villagers were overwhelming to a dozen thugs. Advantage, but a complete victory was achieved in just a moment.
More than a dozen dogs were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They were tied up and thrown into a pile like adult pigs.
Anyone who dares to yell will be kicked down by the villagers without mercy.
The young man became a polished commander. His face turned pale with fright. 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 the county magistrate? County magistrate ." Ling can cover the sky with one hand, so he committed a murder?" Li Laosi stepped forward and knocked him down, pulled his hair and tied him up.
"When I was killing barbarians, you still peed your pants behind your father's back!" Liu Biaotou also stepped forward and kicked him. He picked up the county magistrate and threw him together with his thug.
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 famine? This is too cruel! That's the county magistrate, and he beats him whenever he wants, and ties him up whenever he wants?"
"That's right, it's really outrageous. They went to the village to trade cabbage. Carrot, I have expelled people, will they hold grudges?"
"Don't talk about it, just now I gave directions to the county magistrate, will they kill me and go to my house?"
Everyone was afraid at first, they were actually There's no grudge, I'm just jealous when I saw a hot spring dug out in the valley last night.
When asked by the county magistrate who was staying this morning, they said a few more words,
instead of saying that everyone outside the valley was feeling guilty and scared, they only said that Li Laosi and others had arrested someone, and they were a little worried.
Although they are reasonable, this is the county magistrate's son after all. How should we deal with him in the future?
You can't just kill and bury him in front of everyone, 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 snatch it! Why don't we break the pot and report it directly to the new capital!"
"Yes," Li Laosi also had a bad temper. "Let's ask the officials in the new capital. Now the court is talking Doesn't it count? Anyone can take the land allocated to us by the imperial court, so what prestige does the imperial court have?"
"Yes, enter the new capital and file a complaint! The worst we can do is die in the new capital! Don't give us a way to survive. , we will not live!"
"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 will starve to death in front of the palace!"
It has to be said that from north to south, it is more than a thousand miles. The escape route completely inspired the courage and ferocity of these farmers!
Immediately, everyone must pack up their things and rush to the new capital.
Others were fine, but the county magistrate and the henchmen 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!
Thinking of 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 there were too many dignitaries and high-ranking officials 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 conflicts and hatred accumulated between the two sides, and maybe it will explode if one thing goes wrong.
He doesn't want to be the fuse!
"Oh, folks, it's all my fault! It's me who looks down on others, and I shouldn't buy or sell by force! You adults don't remember the faults of villains, so just let us go. Just pretend that we haven't been here today. OK? Let's not go to Xindu, I admit it, I admit it!"
The county magistrate 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 is actually so powerful?
However, Mrs. Cui guessed a little bit 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.
