Signing the house.

I only heard Lin Zhongcheng smile and asked, "In the days when I was away, how is the progress on your side?" ”

"Back to Zhongcheng, hurry up and hurry, the 27,000 acres of official land has been measured." Zheng Yuanshao's face was dark, and it was obvious that he had been sunbathing in the fields these days.

"Does Guantian still want you to measure?" Lin Run's face was a little unsightly: "What this court asked you to measure is Mintian!" ”

"I'm ashamed, I was about to ask Zhongcheng for ......" Zheng Yuanshao put the handkerchief back in his sleeve, stood up and bowed and said: "Xiaguan According to Zhongcheng's deployment, the day after you leave, you will take people down to the village and prepare to start clearing." ”

Saying that, he said with a face full of shame: "But who knew that we were blocked by a large group of people, who formed a human wall, blocked in front of the ridges, and did not allow us to clear the fields." ”

Zheng Yuanshao said in a trembling voice while wiping his sweat: "Xiaguan and Xiaguan are very excited when they see those villagers, lest there will be a civil rebellion in Songjiang, and then it will be completely impossible to end, so I have to measure the official field first." ”

"......" Lin Run listened to Zheng Yuanshao with an expressionless face, and said quietly for a long time: "So, not a single acre of private land has been measured?" ”

"Yes......" Zheng Yuanshao bowed down and said with two trembling and sweating eyes: "The lower officials are incompetent, please punish Zhongcheng." ”

"Can you finish the Qingzhang mu by punishing you?" Lin Run snorted coldly.

"Of course not." Zheng Yuanshao smiled bitterly and said: "In accordance with Zhongcheng's instructions, the lower officials repeatedly told the villagers that 'the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is the same as that of the government and the people', which is very beneficial to the people. But the people relied on the Xu family, neither served hard labor, nor did they have to pay poor money, and they didn't look down on the preferential treatment of the imperial court at all. It is to lay down a heart and resolutely not let Qingzhang mu! ”

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

"Yes." Zheng Yuanshao said in his heart that it was good to take a look, but he would die after seeing it.

The two said a few more words, and Zheng Yuanshao withdrew and returned to his official office.

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

At the same time, the guys from the seafood shop also entered the Afang Garden in the west of the city.

~~

In the retreat garden in the east of the city, Xu Fan served his old father, who was addicted to drama, and came out of the Sleeping Wind Pavilion after taking a nap.

I saw Xu Ying go and return.

Xu Fan motioned for his little brother to stay away from the Sleeping Wind Pavilion with him and came to the verandah.

Fang asked in a low voice, "Zheng Yuanshao has a letter?" ”

"Yes." Xu Ying nodded, quickly relayed the news to the eldest brother, and then raised the thumb and said:

"Big brother, it's really a god! Lin Run really suppressed the matter in Suzhou. ”

"Of course. Now that the government and the opposition are more and more sympathetic to my Xu family, he will only be attacked miserably without real evidence. ”

Xu Fan put his hands behind his back, looked at the remnants of the lake and said: "The so-called one drum, then decline, and three exhaustions, as long as you resist his wave of attacks, the surnamed Lin should retreat." ”

"Big brother refers to ......" Xu Ying's eyes sank and said, "Qingzhang Tianmu?"

"Yes, tomorrow's confrontation is very crucial, we must let him take a good look at the determination of our people in Songjiang." Xu Fan said coldly.

"But Zheng Yuanshao doesn't know, which township Qingzhang will go to tomorrow?" Xu Ying said with some worry.

"What does it matter?" Xu Fan sneered and said, "Which township is not my Xu family's territory?" When you go back, gather all the stewards and let them all be ready tomorrow, and they will defend each other and leave no dead ends! ”

"Well, good." Xu Ying was excited for a while, and said with her hands on her hands: "Then tomorrow will be a big battle." ”

"It's going to make a big fuss! It's good to make him disgraced! Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "You go back and tell those in charge, let everyone fight for me tomorrow!" ”

"The dead are to be burned with silver, and the wounded are to be healed. Whoever participates in the night eats a flowing water banquet, and all the silver will be rewarded! The one who made the most trouble, gave the surname Xu! ”

"Hiss......" Xu Ying gasped in distress. The Xu family has been rich for decades, and they have always only been in and out, how could they have been so generous?

"I can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, and I can't bear the daughter-in-law to fight the hooligan!" Xu Fan endured his heartache and said: "If you fight for it once, let him go to the countryside again!" ”

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

~~

Before dawn the next day, Lin Run and Zheng Yuanshao gathered their troops and led the subordinates of the governor's yamen to pour out.

In order to avoid leaking the news, he did not tell anyone the destination of the trip, and only urged the team to go south to the bank of the Huangpu River, and then ordered the army to rest at the Huangni Temple.

Lin Run summoned Zheng Yuanshao and other middle and senior officials to assign tasks on the spot. At this time, the officials knew that the governor's first shot was fired in Xujiabang.

Xujiabang is the hometown of Xu Gelao, as long as the Qingzhang here is completed, other places will naturally be solved.

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

However, to everyone's surprise, as soon as the officials and the sergeants came out of the Huangni Temple, they saw that the road outside and on the ridge were already full of villagers.

Seeing the officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns and the officials coming towards the ridges, those villagers gathered and formed a wall of people to block between the officers and soldiers and the ridges.

"What are you going to do?" The officials shouted angrily: "Do you want to rebel? Get out of the way! ”

"We're standing on our own fields, what's your business?!" Someone hid behind the villagers' wall and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up, you're not welcome here!" ”

The officers gave the order and ordered the sergeants to line up as well, draw their swords and raise their guns, and confront the villagers.

"Listen, we are in the name of the governor to measure the acres of land, who dares to stop it, please ask the king to order the banner and behead on the spot!"

"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba chants!"

"You have the ability to kill us all!" The villagers relied on the large number of people, and they were not afraid of the threat of officials at all.

~~

Huangni Temple.

Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly entered the main hall to report.

"Zhongcheng, the villagers have gathered again, blocking us from approaching the fields."

Lin Run's face sank like water, and he walked out of the main hall quickly and came to the gate of the temple located on the hillside.

I saw at least three or four thousand villagers, old and young, men and women, forming a long wall of people, and confronting each other with officers and soldiers.

And there are countless villagers, who came from all directions, just like an ant colony that has found food, and Lin Run's scalp is numb when he sees it.

"Strange." Lin Run's brows tightened, this action was swift and confidential, how did these villagers get the news and come over so quickly?

It's not scientific.

You must know that there are only three or four hundred people in the whole village of Xujiabang, and all the surrounding villages have to rush over at the first time to gather such a big battle.

This is not something that a scattered villager can do spontaneously.

Lin Run understood, and he was once again generalized.

ps. Chapter II. There are a few hundred more words left in the next chapter.
