After listening to Chen Qing's words, Chen Xu was about to get up and salute Lu Gao to thank him.

How dare Lu Gao accept Chen Xu's gift, he hurriedly flashed aside, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Guo knew what Lu Gao was thinking, and stepped forward to say something to Chen Xu.

It turned out that this time he helped Chen Hu and others to sneak into the city, and his family didn't know about it. Lu Gao's original intention was just to rescue Chen Xu and Dian Wei, but he didn't want to, Chen Xu actually rebelled against the officers and soldiers and broke through Puyang City.

Lu Gao's family is also a strong man in Puyang, and his father also sent private soldiers to help Cao Pengshi inspect Puyang City.

After the city was broken, Chen Xu ordered to exterminate all the powerful private soldiers who resisted in the city. For this reason, Lu Gao's private soldiers were killed and wounded. Even his parents and family members were controlled by officers and soldiers.

Lu Gao just found out about this matter. Now that he sees his family under control, he is anxious. But Chen Xu didn't know him, and he didn't dare to plead with Chen Xu, so he found Li Guo.

Li Guo understood what happened, so he promised him to intercede with Chen Xu.

After listening to Li Guo's narration, everyone in the hall was stunned. They didn't expect that the biggest contributor to the rescue of Chen Xu and Dian Wei ended up in this fate at home.

Chen Xu's face also changed, he supported his body, walked in front of Lu Gao, made a deep sigh, and said guiltily: "Brother Shuangwei helped each other, but I don't want to damage my brother's family because of my negligence, and I ask Brother Shuangwei to forgive me." ”

The private soldiers in Lu Gao's family obeyed the command of the soldier Cao Pengshi. From this, it can be inferred that this person also defected to Zhang Yong.

However, it is no exaggeration to say that if there is no help from Lu Gao this time, Chen Xu and Dian Wei may not be able to escape death. This kind of great favor can completely offset the grievances between his family and Chen Xu.

After all, if he took refuge in Zhang Yong, he did not necessarily participate in the framing of Chen Xu. Even if Chen Xu was really framed, with what Lu Gao did, he could save their family's lives.

When Lu Gao saw Chen Xu saluting him, he was a little at a loss.

Although he calls himself a ranger, he likes to dance with guns and sticks. But, in the end, he has no talent and no integrity. It can be said that if it weren't for his fox friend being captured by officers and soldiers, he would not have helped rescue Chen Xu.

Now, the entire Puyang City is under Chen Xu's control, and his words can decide the life and death of many people. In the face of such a character, Lu Gao seems to be a little lacking in confidence.

Moreover, he himself knew that his father had also made some efforts in framing Chen Xu.

Lu Gao hurriedly saluted, and said with sincere fear: "There are only dozens of domestic slaves, why bother? Although the family man has some faults and offended the general Huwei, please ask the general to look at my face and not pursue this matter. ”

After speaking, Lu Gao fell to the ground and no longer got up.

Although Lu Gao was heartbroken by the loss of dozens of house slaves, he didn't dare to say anything. After all, the private soldiers in Haoqiang's family can be said to be the most loyal subordinates in the family.

Haoqiang secretly raised these private soldiers and built weapons and equipment for them, and the annual cost was definitely not a small amount.

Chen Xu hurriedly stepped forward, pulled up Lu Gao, took his arm and said, "Why is Brother Shuangwei like this?" I didn't know about this before, but now that I know that I have a relationship with you, how can I care about those little things? ”

……

In the past few days, the changes in Puyang City have frightened the people of Puyang City a lot.

First of all, the angel general Dongjun Taishou and the officers of the rebel army were all put in prison and took charge of Puyang City.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the former prisoners rebelled and captured the angels and heroes.

I have to say that the dramatic changes have been an eye-opener for the people. However, everyone is now feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

Although they sympathized with Chen Xu and considered him a hero. However, imprisoning an angel is a crime! The people did not know whether this rebellion would affect them.

It wasn't until the next day, when a notice was posted in the city, that Chen Xu issued a statement saying that they would never disturb the people, and the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only that, Chen Xu also told the people of Puyang City that they could go to the government to expose those heroes who were bullying and rampant in the township, and Chen Xu would definitely help them get justice.

At first, there are still people who don't want to go. After all, even if Chen Xu could occupy Puyang for a while, they didn't think that Chen Xu would be able to resist the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers.

When the time comes, if you don't bring down those evil heroes, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around.

There are exceptions to everything, and there is a tenant in Puyang, whose real name is rarely known. Because he is very strong, everyone calls him Zhao Dazhuang.

Zhao Dazhuang was originally a tenant in the Wang family, and the Wang family was a strong man in Puyang, and there were countless fields in his family, so he needed a lot of tenants. Because of his strong body, Zhao Dazhuang was selected by the Wang family and given five acres of land, and he needed to pay seven layers of rent every year.

The seven layers mentioned here do not refer to the seven layers of grain produced each year, but a fixed number, which is calculated according to the average annual grain production of this kind of field.

The five acres of land allocated by Zhao Dazhuang will have to pay 2 every year. 7 stone grain.

Originally, if there is a famine, it can be reduced as appropriate. Last year, there was a severe drought and then a rainy day, and the crops could be regarded as no harvest.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the rent can be reduced in this case. But he didn't want to, not only did the Wang family not reduce the rent, but asked Zhao Dazhuang to pay the rent immediately without delay.

Zhao Dazhuang's family, he can only barely make ends meet every year, and last year he didn't get any grain, and even survival is a problem, how can he come up with 2. 7 stone grain?

In desperation, Zhao Dazhuang begged bitterly.

But he didn't want to, the young master of the Wang family actually asked Zhao Dazhuang's wife to serve him. In this way, not only can they be exempted from rent, but they will also be given some food to help their family survive this disaster year.

How can Zhao Dazhuang agree to this kind of thing? However, because there was no food at home, his wife thought about the young son in the family, and the Wang family came to urge the rent every day. In desperation, she secretly found the young master of the Wang family and went to serve him.

However, after the incident, the young master of the Wang family did not fulfill his promise, and only promised to reduce or exempt half of the land rent of Zhao Dazhuang's family.

After Zhao Dazhuang learned about this, he was furious. Although he was very strong, he was not very bold, and he didn't dare to reason with the young master of the Zhang family, but beat and scolded his wife.

His wife was ashamed and angry, and threw herself into a well and died. When Zhao Dazhuang heard this, he was filled with remorse and risked his life to complain to the government.

In order to settle this matter, the Wang family could only exempt Zhao Dazhuang's family from the land rent, and gave him a little food, so that their father and son could survive the disaster year last year.

Although he got food, his wife had died, and Zhao Dazhuang was unwilling to sue him. However, the Wang family is powerful and powerful, and the government does not want to offend the Wang family for this trivial matter.

Since then, this matter has been dragging on.

One day, when there was no one at night, the young master of the Wang family sent someone to Zhao's house and broke Zhao Dazhuang's right leg. After that, Zhao Dazhuang no longer dared to sue.

Today, the Zhao family has no food. He himself became a cripple, and no one would rent it to him.

Seeing that his son was so hungry that he was left with only skin and bones, and in desperation, Zhao Dazhuang had no choice but to bite the bullet again and come to Chen Xu to complain.

After Chen Xu found out that the matter was true, he also found out some other evil deeds of the Wang family.

He showed no mercy and sent people to execute all the people who had committed great crimes in the Wang family, and then confiscated their homes. I kept some of the money, grain and grass that I looted, and donated the rest to those who had been bullied by the Wang family.

Chen Xu's move is tantamount to a great joy. The people of Puyang no longer hesitated, and reported those who were the heroes and big families in the evil township.

Chen Xu did not refuse, as long as he found out that the matter was true, he turned into a cold-faced Hades, and raised the butcher knife without hesitation.

He still kept a part of the wealth for himself, and distributed the rest to those who had been bullied by these powerful people, or some poor people.

For a time, the people of the entire Puyang City were thunderous with joy. And the heroes are panicked.

There are even some ruffians and hooligans, who are greedy for the money and food of the wealthy family. colluded with others to slander some powerful and big families.

At first, Chen Xu didn't care. After all, many heroes are evil and can't stand up to scrutiny.

Later, the ruffians and hooligans who tasted the sweetness actually began to slander those wealthy and powerful families with better reviews.

These powerful and large families have strict family education, and they treat tenants very well, and they will also reduce or reduce the rent in case of natural and man-made disasters. The slander of the ruffians angered the people who had received the favor of these people.

It wasn't until the people were angry and other speculators were ready to make a move that Chen Xu came back to his senses.

He had the ruffians and some opportunists arrested, and the charges of these people were read out before they were shown.

Under the shock of the heads, Puyang City settled down.
