Chapter 1254: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Forty-Four) The Opportunity Has Come

He Yong was lying on a fork of a big tree that was as thick as an arm. He was boredly rolling the leaves into leaf whistles, putting them in his mouth, and blowing them. The sun was in the sky, filtering through the branches and leaves. The slit shone on his body, making him feel warm and warm, making He Yong want to close his eyes and have a good sleep.

Since meeting Wen Yi here last time, this secret path into the mountain has become a channel for the rebels on the mountain to go down to inquire for information. Naturally, He Yong cannot go there. His goal is too big and there are dangers. Too many people know him, so they can only stay here as a contact point.

Niu Teng said that this time the land reform in Ziyang County would be an opportunity for them. He Yong did not believe it. As a former farmer, the attraction of land to him was unparalleled. If he had not registered with the government, and all All the members of the clan, old and young, died at the hands of the government, and a blood feud was formed. He even had the idea of ​​becoming a good person. This news is still being tightly sealed on the mountain. Even a confident person like Niu Teng is worried that before there is a definite result, once the news is leaked, it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the rebels on the mountain. If the people's hearts are dispersed, This team is not easy to lead.

There was a rustling sound in the bushes. He Yong was startled, threw away the leaf whistle in his hand, and quietly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. Someone came over, and it was definitely not one of his own, because he was one of his own. When reaching this point, the signal should be given first. He leaned over and stared at the place where the sound came from with wide eyes.

The dense jungle was separated by a pair of black claws. A figure came out from inside, startling He Yong. The person came out. His whole body was covered in black and numb, as if he had been poured with ink from top to bottom. He was holding three skewers of sheep in his hand and walked over while breathing heavily.

He Yong breathed out and looked at the three sheep forks, which seemed familiar.

By chance, the visitor arrived under the tree where he was hiding and dropped the sheep fork in his hand. He sat down and leaned against the tree. After a while, He Yong actually heard crying.

The man didn't shed tears easily, but He Yong listened to the voice of the Haotao under the tree crying loudly and mumbling something in his mouth. There is actually a tearing feeling in my heart. To make a man sad to this extent, it must be something big. He Tong himself also cried. It was when he learned that his parents, wife and children had been raped by the government. When you kill someone cleanly.

The man under the tree raised his head, tears washed away the darkness on his face. He Yong recognized him at once. Isn't this Wen Yi from the village? He was still talking about it last time. After I go back, I will be able to divide dozens of acres of land and live a good life. Why did it suddenly become like this?

problem occurs. Something must have happened.

He Yong thought for a while, held the tree pole with both hands, and suddenly slipped down. When he was still two or three meters away from the ground, he kicked off his legs and jumped down from the top. Suddenly he fell in front of Wen Yi.

Wen Yi, who was completely unprepared, was so frightened that he jumped up.

He reached out and pulled out the single sword stuck in his waist. He snatched it from the government servant he killed. Halfway through his hand, he saw He Yong clearly standing in front of him, and his hand suddenly froze.

"Brother He Yong!" Before he could finish shouting, he was already bursting into tears.

"Brother, what happened? What's wrong with you?" He Yong stepped forward in surprise and supported Wen Yi, who was trembling all over.

"Dead, all dead, my wife is dead, my son is dead, I am the only one left." Wen Yi curled up on the ground, held his head, and burst into tears again.

Seeing Wen Yi in great pain, He Yong squatted down silently and sat next to Wen Yi. He had also experienced this kind of pain. He gently patted Wen Yi on the back. He Yong did not say any words of comfort. There are no words that can be said at this time.

After more than half an hour, He Yong finally found out the whole story from Wen Yi who had calmed down. As expected, the imperial court's land equalization decree had become corrupt officials, landlords and powerful people. Wen Yi is not the only victim of money and opportunities to exploit people, but he will definitely be the worst one among them.

"Are there many people in our village who have been deceived like you?" He Yong asked.

Wen Yi nodded, "There are several other companies that have gone bankrupt. They all borrowed money from usury. I'm afraid they won't be able to pay it back in this lifetime."

He Yong said sternly: "If you can't pay back, then you don't have to pay it back. Ayi, you are good. At least you killed those dog officials who killed your mother-in-law and baby, but these people are just cowards." , if it weren't for the conscienceless officials behind them, why would you end up in this situation, and how could your mother-in-law and baby die? Do you dare to follow me? Let's find an opportunity, go down the mountain, and kill those dog officials. Cut into pieces?"

"Dare, why don't you dare? I have killed several people. I went up the mountain this time just to find you. I can't survive at the bottom of the mountain." Wen Yi clenched his fists tightly and said with a ferocious expression: "I want to kill all these dog officials."

"Okay, we will be good brothers from now on. Just wait here. I have a few brothers who have gone down the mountain. When they come back, I will take you to a good place." He Yong patted Wen Wen hard. Righteous shoulders.

When the sun went down, the spies who had gone out finally returned to the meeting point one after another. After meeting up with He Yong, the group took advantage of the darkness and walked through the deep mountains and old forests, all the way to Gucheng Mountain.

"It's actually to this extent?" Niu Teng was greatly surprised when he heard Wen Yi's cry. He thought to himself that these dog officials were really audacious. They were so black-hearted and had reached the stage where they risked their lives to make money. If this was the case in the Han Kingdom, , will be cut to pieces directly. Oh, no, the big man does not have this kind of torture anymore, but this situation has no possibility of happening in the big man. For a county magistrate, not only the supervisory agency, but also numerous people are staring at him. Congressmen, these members come from all walks of life and all walks of life. It is simply not feasible to bribe them.

"Your Majesty is right, the system, the important thing is the system!" Niu Teng said in his heart. In their hearts, King Qin, Fan Sui and others worked hard and paid a huge price to implement internal affairs reform, but at the end of the day, a good law was turned into this. Not only did it not play the role Qin Ting wanted, but it also failed to get the due As a result, it has become a source of destruction for even greater evil, which is pitiful to think about.

But from the perspective of a big man, this couldn't be better.

"The boss, that's not all. This time I sneaked into the town, and there was actually a list of the people who were allocated the land. How many acres were there? The most ridiculous thing is that I actually saw Yong Yong. Each of the names of my brother’s family is actually ten acres of good farmland!” A spy who can read is also the one who travels the furthest.

"Son of a bitch, my whole family was completely killed by them, and they didn't even spare the dead." He Yong was furious.

"This is Li Daitao's stiffness." Niu Teng said calmly: "It's just a way for the dog officials to divert their attention and deceive their superiors. These lists must have been made into a booklet and sent to the superiors. When the superiors took a look, oh, we can do it. Not bad, the fields have been successfully divided, and the next step is to wait for a good harvest. Who would have thought that these lands have already fallen into the hands of those dog officials and the local tyrants and evil gentry who are in cahoots with those dog officials. Up and down, the dog officials are good at it. How is the situation in other places in Ziyang County? "

"It's almost the same. In some places, every family is crying. They are so ruthless that they not only make plans for the fields, but also take advantage of the opportunity to make large loan sharks. The situation is similar to that of Wen Yi's family. They will never be able to pay it off in this lifetime." Another spy He said, "There are many troublemakers in various places, but Zhou Liang, the imperial general stationed in Ziyang County, is connected with them. His army has brought out evil in Ziyang County. With him in control, how can the common people dare to make trouble?" If you make a fuss, the most you can do is cry for a while and go back depressed, thinking that you are unlucky.”

"It's not that I think I'm unlucky, but I dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Now Ziyang County is already a powder keg, with just a few sparks missing." Niu Teng said softly.

He Yong suddenly jumped up: "Head of the family, we are the Martians."

Niu Teng chuckled and said, "He Yong is right. Let's be the sparks. When the sparks fall into the gunpowder barrel, they will be blown to pieces with a bang. Since they want money rather than their lives, we will take it." Their lives go."

"Master, when are we going down the mountain?" He Yong suddenly became excited.

"Don't be anxious, this is our opportunity, but don't forget, there are still three thousand imperial troops garrisoned in Ziyang County. This is an old army brought by Qin State veteran General Meng Tian. It is not comparable to ordinary rural soldiers. We have to plan carefully. Only then can we go down the mountain. If the attack doesn't work, we'll have to go back to the Xanthium Mountain with our tails between our legs and become bobcats."

He Yong gasped for breath. When they started the uprising, they were so powerful. However, in a head-on battle with the three thousand troops brought by Zhou Liang, this peasant army uprising swept several counties. Tens of thousands of peasants were armed and defeated by three thousand Qin troops. It was also that battle that made him realize the huge gap between the regular troops and the peasant rebel army. If it hadn't been for the timely appearance of the big boss in front of him, his group would have been wiped out by them long ago. .

"First tell the brothers about the situation at the bottom of the mountain and the brothers on the mountain. Wen Yi, you have to come forward and tell the brothers exactly what happened to you. The common people have no way to survive. We have been trapped like this on the mountain. There is still no way to survive, so we have to go down the mountain and find a way to survive."
