Enclosure, third floor, inside Wu Zonglin's room.

Wu Shunfu and Wu Zonglin were both in the room, looking at Wu Zongrui.

Wu Shunfu felt very strange. In recent times, he knew every contact between Wu Zonglin and Wu Zongrui, and Wu Zonglin would tell the truth. However, in more than two months, something earth-shaking happened to Wu Zongrui.

Changes, the Wu Zongrui who only knew how to study before, was narrow-minded, wooden-looking, and could not speak, disappeared, and was replaced by Wu Zongrui who was wise, mature, steady and even had an unusual temperament.

Why is this happening? What happened during the three months in Hanming Temple?

"Wenru and the Luo brothers came back today, and I learned that the rebel mob originally came from Hushan Township, Xinfeng County, and its leader is King Duotian, who is also a lazy man who doesn't do his job properly."

"I admire Brother Zong Lin very much. I had a premonition that the rebel was the King of Heaven."

"Clan leader, Brother Zong Lin, I think there is no need to worry about Zong Kun. I just learned the news that after King Duotian captured the county government, he killed the officials in the county government's household and military rooms, and also killed

We hired a few magistrates and some officials, so the number of officials in the county government is obviously insufficient. After the riot is suppressed, Zong Kun will definitely be able to continue working in the county government."

"Brother Zong Lin just said that he had received news that the Ganzhou government had sent sergeants to the county to exterminate the mob. I thought the mob was a mob and could not resist the attack and suppression of the officers and soldiers. Once the officers and soldiers launched an attack, they would definitely flee."

"The Wu family must be prepared."

"Since the mob is from Hushan Township, when they are surrounded by officers and soldiers, they instinctively want to go home and must pass by our Xinlongli. The Wu family is around Guandao. If they are not prepared, they will definitely encounter the mob.

The looting..."

Before Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Wu Shunfu spoke anxiously.

"What can we do? There are so many thugs..."

"Dad, don't worry, listen to what Zong Rui has to say."

Wu Shunfu looked at Wu Zongrui with an expectant look on his face.

"Clan leader, Brother Zong Lin, there is no need for us to panic. When a mob is surrounded by officers and soldiers, it is like a lost dog. It is too late to escape. As long as we are fully prepared, we will definitely be able to defeat the mob and protect our Wu family."

"I propose that the young men of the Wu family be organized, armed with hoes, sickles and axes, to beat the mob whenever they arrive."

"My Wu family is fighting against the mob, and we are also doing things for the government."

...

"Okay, let's do it. Zong Rui, your proposal is good. I will organize the young people of the Wu family, and you will command them to fight against the mob..."

Wu Zongrui shook his head and was about to speak when Wu Zonglin spoke.

"Zong Rui, please don't refuse this matter. I will also listen to your command. My father's intention is for you to command, not to fight. You have a reputation and cannot fight in front of the battle..."

Wu Zongrui simply waved his hand.

"I understand what the patriarch and Brother Zong Lin mean. I am not afraid. I think those mobs who were dispersed by the officers and soldiers are no match for the young and strong Wu family. They can only be captured without mercy. This round of surrounding mobs

, the Wu family will definitely win, my idea is to let Zong Kun take command."

Wu Shun was stunned for a moment, then stood up and looked at Wu Zongrui.

"Zong Rui, you have thought of this. You see, Zong Kun doesn't respect you on weekdays..."

"Patriarch, I don't take these little things to heart. We are all brothers of the Wu family. How can we tell each other apart at the critical moment?"

"Well said, well said. I will teach this boy Zong Kun a lesson. If he dares to disrespect you in the future, I will break his legs first. Okay, Zong Rui, I will eat at home in the afternoon.

Now go and make arrangements. The officers and soldiers of the government office have already begun to surround and suppress the mob. If we don't make arrangements in time, I'm afraid it will be too late. Zong Lin, please stay with Zong Rui."

"Brother Zong Lin doesn't need to accompany me. Organizing young people is a big deal. I also have to go home to see Wen Ru and others and let them participate. Patriarch, there is one thing I want to remind you. The mob passing by Xinlongli this time will definitely

They will carry some money and food, and they risk their lives to rebel, not just for money and food. When they are blocked by the young people of my Wu family, the mob will definitely panic and throw away a lot of money to escape. I, the Wu family, must not be jealous of these money."

Wu Shunfu turned to look at Wu Zongrui and stopped.

"Of course, my Wu family organizes young people to resist the mob, and it won't do to get nothing. I think the amount of money and food will be based on the amount of land tax that needs to be paid in the spring, and the rest needs to be returned to the government."

"It's not clear that my Wu family is involved in it alone. We have to ask Li Zheng and even the elders to testify. If they testify, whether it is the government or the county government, they will definitely believe it."

"Don't let the small lose the big. Our Wu family still needs to gain a foothold in Xinlong, and we need to pay special attention to money matters..."

Before Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Wu Shunfu slapped his forehead.

"Well said, well said, Zong Lin, you go immediately to organize the young people and bring Zong Kun with you. All the young people who participate in resisting the mob will be rewarded with one coin of silver. I will ask Li Zheng and the elders to help bear witness.

..”

"Dad, don't worry, Zong Rui hasn't finished speaking just now."

"Look at my temper, I'm just anxious, Zong Rui, go on."

Wu Zongrui looked at Wu Shunfu and Wu Zonglin.

"I have indeed not finished speaking. It is also the most important matter. The spring field tax in Xinlongli totals thirty taels of silver. It is not difficult to obtain thirty taels of silver from these mobs, but this matter must not be leaked.

, so after the mob escapes, the matter of collecting money and food is very important. I thought that only Brother Zong Lin or Zong Kun could participate in this matter."

"Zong Rui, what if Li Zheng and the elders interfere."

"Chief, you are worrying too much. Li Zheng and the elders are also human beings. What else will they say if they spend a small amount of money and food? This will not only allow them to speak well of the Wu family, but also improve the relationship with them."

Wu Shunfu's face turned red.

"Seeing that all my years of food have been in vain, what Zong Rui said is, Zong Lin, if anything happens to you in the future, ask Zong Rui more. By the way, Zong Rui has made great contributions to the Wu family today, Zong Lin, you

Take out twenty taels of silver."

"Zong Rui, please don't refuse. This is the silver I brought out to reward you. The silver is a little short."

Wu Zongrui saluted Wu Shunfu.

"Zong Rui thanks the patriarch for the reward."

In just three hours, fleeing mobs appeared at the intersection.

These mobs carried large and small packages and fled desperately.

The young man of the Wu family who was blocking the intersection became extremely nervous when he saw the mob coming towards him. His hands were shaking so much that he could not hold his hoe, sickle and axe. At the critical moment, Liao Wenru, who was standing in front with his face covered, let out a clear voice.

After roaring, he rushed forward. Next to Liao Wenru, the three brothers Luo Dianming, Luo Dianyong and Luo Diazhao, who also had their faces covered, rushed forward.

The actions of the four people instantly stabilized everyone, and many young people rushed forward with shouts...

Wu Shunfu sat in command and Wu Zongkun commanded from the front. They had never seen such a formation before and were a little confused. Fortunately, Liao Wenru and others rushed forward and they calmed down.

The fleeing mob never thought that there would be anyone blocking them from the front.

In fact, these mobs were looking for death. King Suotian disappeared early in the morning. When the mobs in the city heard the news, they immediately became chaotic. They smashed shops in the city, kicked down doors and broke into houses, desperately searching for money. The money and food made them famous.

They didn't even think about the approaching officers and soldiers. By the time they realized it, the officers and soldiers had already rushed into the city.

The mob immediately became chaotic and had no intention of resisting.

A part of the mob, still carrying the looted money and food, fled the county from the north gate and headed towards Hushan Township. Most of the mob was blocked in the city and was mercilessly killed by the officers and soldiers.

.

These fleeing mobs thought only of returning home with the looted money and food, and they had become frightened.

Facing the young and strong Wu family who had been well prepared and had extraordinary momentum, they had no intention of resisting.

Packages of all sizes were thrown on the ground. Most of the mob turned around and ran away. Those who ran a little slower were immediately rushed to the ground. Those who were lucky were tied up and escaped unscathed. Those who were unlucky were hoed.

, sickle and ax hit, blood flowed out immediately...

The mob quickly fled and the intersection became quiet.

The mob captured by the young men of the Wu family totaled about ten people.

Watching this scene, Wu Shunfu and Wu Zongkun had smiles on their faces.

However, Wu Shunfu was still sober and immediately asked Wu Zonglin to bring a few trustworthy people to collect the large and small packages on the ground and gather them in one place. The young and strong Wu family was honest at the moment, and no one went to pick up the packages on the ground.

The elders and Li Zheng beside Wu Shunfu were stunned when they saw this scene, and they didn't know how to speak at all.

Before dark, a dozen tables of banquets were set up in the courtyard of the enclosed house. All the young men of the Wu family who participated in the fight against the mob ate here. Wu Zongkun greeted everyone with a red face.

Inside the meeting hall, a banquet was set up. The elders from Xinlong Township, Li Zheng from Xinlongli, Wu Shunfu, Wu Shunnian, Wu Shungui and others accompanied the elders and Li Zheng to eat and drink.

There were friendly smiles on the faces of the elders and Li Zheng. They were paid a full ten taels of silver each. Of course they would not forget the matter of testifying for the Wu family and showing merit for Wu Zongkun.

Wu Zongrui was not involved, and Wu Zonglin was not involved either. The two of them were standing outside the enclosure at the moment.

"Zong Rui, today I finally understand that the Wu family cannot keep you. Thinking about it before, I was still worried about you and coveting the position of patriarch. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous."

"Brother Zong Lin, no need to say more, this is human nature."

"You say this, which makes me even more ashamed. By the way, the belongings counted today include three hundred and thirty-five taels of silver, twelve stones of grain, and some silk and silk. According to your request, each of the elders and Li Zheng will be given.

Ten taels of silver, deducting the thirty taels of silver from the field tax, and the young men who participated in the fight today, need to be rewarded with eleven taels of silver. The remaining two hundred and seventy-four taels of silver have all been sealed and will be sent to the county government when the time comes.

.”

"So much silver has been seized, does anyone know?"

"It's just dad and I who know."
