Chapter 33 Departure
All along, Tan Lun has been very low-key. Since he was sent to Zhejiang, he has been adhering to the principle that more things are worse than less things, try not to conflict with them, and even try to sit in the corner when discussing matters and not participate in.

As for the reason, there is no other reason. At present, several people are all members of the Yan Party: Hu Zongxian, Governor of Zhejiang Province and Governor of Zhejiang Province, is a student of Yan Song. In addition, they also have an unclear relationship with the palace.

As for the Qingliu faction, Tan Lun was the only one.

Hearing that Zheng Michang insulted his respected colleague in this way, Tan Lun could no longer bear it, and confronted him tit for tat.

"You might as well repeat what you said just now, I, Tan Lun, will definitely write a book for you in the future!"

"I just said it, what's the matter? Shit is clean! Even if Xu Jie is standing in front of me, I dare to say that."

"You!" Tan Lun was anxious, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit someone.

"Come on, did you scare me when I was Zheng Michang?" Zheng Michang said sarcastically without any fear.

"Okay, stop arguing! Do you still look like a scholar? How is it different from the ruffians on the street?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight if they continued to quarrel, Hu Zongxian, who was sitting at the top, calmed down the turmoil.

"Humph!"

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of malice towards each other.

Immediately after Tan Lun took the lead to leave, Zheng Michang looked at the back of Tan Lun leaving, couldn't help spitting on the ground, and cursed in a low voice: "What!"

……

On the way to Taoyuan Village, Gao Hanwen repeated the ins and outs of the matter to Ma Ningyuan again.

Ma Ningyuan couldn't help being furious after hearing this, and waved his hands angrily: "These gangsters!"

"I think these villagers must have been bewitched by the thieves, so they were so impulsive just now, and even did such a thing as killing soldiers. When I go there later, I hope Lord Ma will be merciful and don't hurt innocent people."

Seeing that the prefect of Hangzhou was so violent, Gao Hanwen was a little worried and couldn't help but comfort him.

After listening to Gao Hanwen's request, Ma Ningyuan smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I have my own measure."

Seeing that Gao Hanwen did not respond, Ma Ningyuan continued: "I don't know if Mr. Gao has heard such a saying that the people can let them know, but you can't make them know. I think you are too kind to those troublesome people, so let them push their noses." Face, don't worry, I will seek justice for you!"

"The people can be taught, but can't be taught..." Gao Hanwen fell into deep thought after hearing Ma Ningyuan's words.

The troop marched very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the place where the previous incident happened-Taoyuan Village.

"My lord, look over there!" A sharp-eyed soldier in front reported.

"What?" Ma Ningyuan said, took the binoculars from his subordinates, and looked in the direction the soldier pointed.

I saw four or five corpses hanging from the big trees near the village. Their clothes were stripped off, and all kinds of unsightly insulting words were left on their bodies.

Ma Ningyuan suppressed the anger in his heart, put down the binoculars, and ordered to his subordinates: "Speed ​​up!"

Soon, the troops marched to the entrance of the village. When all the soldiers saw their colleagues hanging from the big trees, they couldn't help being furious, and a sense of sadness arose in their hearts. Some acquaintances among the soldiers had already closed their eyes and covered their faces in pain. .

The people who were hung from the tree might have been fighting together alive and well the day before. They made an appointment where to drink and exchanged ideas about which girl was the prettiest, but who knew they would leave in such a disgraceful way.

"Enclose the whole village and don't let a single fly out." Ma Ningyuan ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and surrounded the entire Taoyuan Village, and then searched from house to house.

At this time, several corpses hanging from the trees were also put down and lined up neatly.

Gao Hanwen saw these soldiers who desperately tried to cover his escape turned into temperatureless corpses, and he couldn't help being stunned for a long time. He slowly walked to the corpses, bent down, and muttered something incessantly.

"My lord, there is no one in the village!" The soldier who was in charge of searching the village before came back to report.

"Hmph, these gangsters are smart, and they know what they have committed is not small. Search around here for me, and avenge the dead brothers!" Ma Ningyuan gave a grinning grin, and waved his hand as he ordered.

"Yes." The soldiers took the order and began to search nearby.

"Bring me the map around here." Immediately afterwards, Ma Ningyuan ordered to his subordinates.

Ma Ningyuan took the map from his subordinates, and after looking through it carefully, he found that there was no place to hide nearby.

"My lord, I have searched all around here, but there is no one there."

"Our side is too!"

Ma Ningyuan frowned, but he kept thinking about the possible hiding places of the villagers.

"Master Ma, as far as I know, there is no hiding place nearby. Is it possible that these villagers are not hiding?" Gao Hanwen finished his condolences, his expression returned to normal, and then he asked.

"You mean to say?"

"That's right, I guess these villagers are not hiding. After all, their purpose from the beginning was to protect their fields. I guess they are guarding near the fields at this time." After Gao Hanwen finished speaking, he pointed out the location of the farmland in Taoyuan Village on the map Location.

"It makes sense, as expected of Xiaoge Lao's disciple, why didn't I think of it?" Ma Ningyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted his head excitedly.

"All soldiers obey the order, aim at the farmland of Taoyuan Village, and set off!"

"Yes!"

……

The farmland of Taoyuan Village is less than two kilometers away from the village. At this time, the whole village gathers here. The old and weak, women and children rest outside, and the healthy young people gather together to discuss countermeasures.

"What should we do now? Let's kill the officials, the matter is serious! In a short while, a large number of soldiers will arrive."

"What are you afraid of, we have so many people, we will fight them at worst! If you want my land, you must step over my dead body!"

"Yes, I fought with them!"

"There are so many people in the family, and we still have so many old, weak, sick and disabled, how can we fight? Are you stupid?"

"It's all the fault of Daniel, who said that the officials wanted to take away our land! Otherwise, we wouldn't be so impulsive."

"That's right, it's all Daniel's fault. If it wasn't for him, why would I escape here now?"

Everyone discussed one sentence after another, but still failed to come up with a reliable solution for a long time. Gradually, they turned their attention to the big cow who was resting under the big tree.

Daniu, formerly known as Zhang Daniu, a villager in Taoyuan Village, is one of the few educated people in the village who can read and write. The characters on the soldiers who were killed before are also his masterpieces.

It was he who told the villagers that the officials were using the guise of measuring the land for the purpose of annexing their land, and it was he who raised his arms and led the people to actively resist.

"How about we tie up Daniel and transfer him to the government, and we can be exonerated from other crimes."

"I think this is a good idea. Sacrificing him alone is better than all of us suffering together."

"My son was born only a few days ago, so he can't live without his father, right?"

"I still have an 80-year-old mother to support."

……

Soon, everyone reached an agreement, and the partnership tied up Zhang Daniu who was still asleep.

Zhang Daniu suddenly woke up from his sleep, and said in shock: "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"I'm sorry, Daniel! Please sacrifice a little bit, or everyone will suffer with you."

Hearing this, Zhang Daniu's eyes were full of despair.
