Zhang Wangcai's condition made several of his wives and concubines feel that something was wrong, and they realized that it was an opportunity to compete for favor. Ke Jiner comforted Zhang Wangcai, and made Zhang Wangcai feel his meticulous care.
Early in the morning, Zhang Wangcai woke up from a nightmare again. He touched his back and was soaked in cold sweat. The concubine who had just been taken in the county town the day before yesterday woke up and lay shyly in Zhang Wangcai's arms, looking at Zhang Wangcai tenderly.
"Master, are you having nightmares again?"
"Yes, since I killed those villagers, I haven't had a good night's sleep. I have nightmares every night. I slept soundly with you on the first night, thinking that I won't have nightmares again. No.
I think I just had another nightmare."
Zhang Wangcai put on his clothes, leaned on the pillow, kissed and nibbled the concubine in his arms, "Did it disturb you from sleeping in?"
"No, I slept very well last night." The concubine shook her head and asked: "Master, didn't you just kill a few villagers? Why are you so worried?"
Zhang Wangcai loved this concubine very much. She had a first-class face and figure, and she was proficient in singing and dancing. He had spent a lot of money to redeem her from the old madam. He put his arms around the delicate concubine and said, "If only it could be so simple.
That's good, these villagers have something to do with the Red Army, and they made a lot of noise some time ago, so we got angry and killed them."
"Sir, don't worry too much. Maybe these news are false. Besides, weren't the Red Army being encircled and suppressed by the White Army in West Hankou? Why don't you just go to them directly? The White Army doesn't like to arrest these people."
The concubine Jiao Didi said, "I'm not afraid of Master's jokes. When I was dancing for the guests before, I heard some guests with high backgrounds talk about it. They said that if you catch someone, you will be rewarded with a lot of money. If the Red Army really shows up, Master will take care of everyone here."
The news tells the White Army in the city that there are probably many people coming to make a fortune. With them dealing with the Red Army, what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Wangcai was stunned and patted his head: "Hey, we have been so worried all day long that our brains are dumb! Why didn't we think of this!"
Zhang Wangcai couldn't help but hold his concubine, kiss and nibble on her, and unknowingly wasted a lot of time.
It was already three o'clock in the morning. Zhang Wangcai stayed in the room with his concubine for a while before he came out. He looked up at the sun hanging above his head outside the patio and felt that the weather was much better today.
Suddenly, a cold hard object pressed against his waist. Zhang Wangcai was stunned. He turned his head slightly and saw two people wearing blue singles and hats with red five-pointed stars on their heads.
Holding a gun.
A cold voice came: "Let's go!"
Zhang Wangcai's mind was a little confused. He didn't turn around for a while and came to the front yard. Only then did he find that the servants and housekeepers of the family were all tied up and thrown to the ground. A group of people dressed in the same clothes as behind him were standing on both sides of the courtyard.
A young man stood on the steps, and behind him stood a tall and thick man.
Seeing this movement at home, Zhang Wangcai quickly turned his head and turned to look at the young man with a smile on his face: "I don't know if you are..."
Xia Yuan glanced at Zhang Wangcai and said coldly: "Red Army."
Zhang Wangcai froze on the spot, his whole body shaking, and his face showed an expression of fear.
Xia Yuan said again: "Beard, buck teeth, get out of the queue!"
The two people who were standing in the team, with their heads lowered, trembled slightly when they heard Xia Yuan's voice, and walked out in the eyes of the soldiers with surprise.
Zhang Wangcai turned his head, his eyes were a little frozen, and then the corners of his eyes were splitting: "You are not dead!!"
"Old...Master...well, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Buck teeth did not dare to look at Zhang Wangcai. He kept his head lowered and spoke tremblingly. He did not dare to disobey Xia Yuan, but did not dare to look Zhang Wangcai in the face. He was still very afraid of Zhang Wangcai in his heart. This fear was engraved in his bones since he was a child.
Growing up in the Zhang family, witnessing Zhang Wangcai's ruthless methods has always been a lingering haze in his heart.
The bearded man had very good eyesight and could think quickly. He quickly said: "Master, this is the last time I call you master. From now on, I will follow the Red Army. The Red Army is for the people, and you are harming the people. Thank you for your support back then."
I later followed you and did many wrong things, which were enough to repay your life-saving grace. From the day you let us follow the Red Army, we owe nothing to each other."
After saying that, he raised his head, stared at Zhang Wangcai, and said: "You'd better accept the inspection by the Red Army. Maybe a whole body can be preserved."
"You...you..." Zhang Wangcai's brain was buzzing. He was betrayed by the person he had raised for several years. He was so angry that his chest could not stop rising and falling, and the corners of his eyes were even scarlet.
Blood light.
"Zhang Wangcai, even your people can't stand the evil things you have done."
Looking at this scene, Xia Yuan nodded with satisfaction. This bearded man was quite sensible, a little smart, and knew where to stand. If they were still thinking about Zhang Wangcai at this time, there was basically no cure, and they could be liquidated together with Zhang Wangcai.
Zhang Wangcai's figure shook, and he stared at the beard and buck teeth with splitting eyes. He opened his mouth and spoke for a long time, but no words came out, and his mind was even more confused with anger.
"Zhou Jiwang!"
Xia Yuan called another name.
Zhou Jiwang, who was in the third class in a row and had a somewhat ferocious face, walked out and stared at Zhang Wangcai with hateful eyes, making the latter feel a chill running down his spine.
Zhang Wangcai turned around, saw Zhou Jiwang, and felt a sense of familiarity inexplicably.
Zhou Jiwang asked: "Zhang Wangcai! Have you forgotten me? But I will never forget you in this life! I watched you kill my parents with my own eyes, and I swore that I would come back for revenge!"
"It turns out it's you!" Zhang Wangcai knew that he couldn't escape. He turned and stared at the young Xia Yuan, feeling as if a jar had been broken: "I didn't expect that the officer of the Red Army would be so young. I didn't expect that, no.
Wrong, I killed many villagers, come on, kill me, the White Army will not let you go, you will be wiped out by the White Army sooner or later."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Yuan looked at Zhang Wangcai calmly and said: "When Bai Jun found out about us, it is our own business. Let's consider our own safety first. Tie them up.
Parade outside!”
While they were talking, the sound of gongs was heard in the village. Before the villagers knew what was happening, they heard someone shouting excitedly:
"The Red Army is coming and the landlords have been arrested!"
Some villagers looked at the village through the cracks in the door. A group of soldiers appeared in the originally peaceful village and guarded various intersections in the village. Old man Qi, who had followed all the way from Nianping Village, was making noise with a broken gong.
Knocking.
Immediately afterwards, they saw from a distance that Zhang Wangcai was tied up with five flowers and escorted to the village by two Red Army soldiers, followed by Zhang Wangcai's servants, who were also tied with five flowers and followed Zhang Wangcai.
"Folks, come out, the Red Army is here, Zhang Wangcai has been defeated, our good days are coming!"
Mr. Qi beat the gong to call the villagers to come out, but still no villagers showed up.
Yang Chenglin walked to Xia Yuan and said: "The people of Laohe Village have been oppressed by Zhang Wangcai for too long. They are afraid that we are the same as Zhang Wangcai."
Xia Yuan said coldly: "Go, you lead a platoon to open Zhang Wangcai's granary and move out all the grain inside."
Yang Chenglin understood what Xia Yuan meant and didn't ask any more questions. He just said: "Yes!" He led people into Zhang Wangcai's house, opened the doors of each room, found the food and pulled it out. The food was piled up like a room.
The soldiers looked at the corner of their eyes and cursed Zhang Wangcai for not being a human being for squeezing so much food.
They knew that the next step was to distribute food to the villagers. A row of soldiers enthusiastically put bags of food in the warehouse on small carts, and a group of three pushed the small carts to the village.
He threw the grain in the middle of the village and went back to move the grain.
Here, Xia Yuan had people tie Zhang Wangcai's family to a tree, waiting for the villagers to arrive to decide whether they would live or die.
Finally, the door of a house opened, and an old lady with shabby clothes and black and white hair came out and asked about the situation: "What is the Red Army?"
Mr. Qi explained: "The Red Army is doing well. Help everyone to knock down the landlords who oppress us, and distribute the grain and land in the hands of the landlords to us."
The aunt was a little surprised and said: "The Red Army also distributed food. Is it true?"
Mr. Qi said: "Then I'm trying to trick you. Look at the food piled there. It's food taken from the landlord's house."
At this time, Xia Yuan came over, asked someone to carry a bag of grain and put it in front of the aunt, and said: "Auntie, we came to Laohe Village this time to defeat the landlord and distribute the grain that the landlord stole to everyone. This bag of grain
You take it."
The aunt was startled when she saw a bag full of grain. She seemed to be afraid of the landlord and did not dare to accept the grain.
We know that the influence of landlords in the village is deep-rooted. If we want to uproot the influence of landlords in the village, we must operate on the landlords and let the masses know that landlords are not invincible and can be defeated.
Xia Yuan launched a trial against the landlord Lao Cai, and Zhou Jiwang was in charge of the trial. He was a villager in Laohe Village. Seeing the trembling appearance of the villagers, he was heartbroken. At the same time, he hated Zhang Wangcai even more. He shouted: "Folks,
Come out, everyone. It’s me, Zhou Jiwang, from Zhou Laoding’s family, the third-to-last family at the end of the village. More than ten days ago, Zhang Wangcai robbed our family of the only ewe with a calf. My father and I were bullied and beaten by Zhang Wangcai.
, I lay in bed for two days. A few days later, Zhang Wangcai and his men rushed into my home again and killed my parents. I was working in the fields and heard what was going on in the village. When I got home, I saw my parents being killed.
That scene!”
Talking about this matter, Zhou Jiwang's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. He told about the suffering Zhang Wangcai had brought to his family in the past, and also talked about the scenes he saw in Nianping Village on the way to find the Red Army. The villagers in Laohe Village heard
After seeing Zhou Jiwang's voice, some villagers recognized Zhou Jiwang.
"He is really Zhou Laoding's son. I thought he was also killed by Zhang Wangcai."
"Zhang Wangcai is really not a human being!"
"Look, Zhang Wangcai was tied to a tree. Maybe what Zhou Jiwang said is true."
Everyone gradually believed what Zhou Jiwang said. They opened the door, walked out of their homes, and gathered in the village. As Zhou Jiwang denounced Zhang Wangcai, some villagers who were full of hatred for Zhang Wangcai also angrily denounced Zhang Wangcai and complained to everyone.
Talk about how Zhang Wangcai dealt with everyone in the past.
More and more villagers came out. They cursed one after another, and some even threw stones at Zhang Wangcai. Zhang Wangcai's face became red and swollen after being hit by the stones. He was angry and dared not speak. Two Red Army soldiers beside him were holding the black holes of their spear heads.
Touching his body.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed. The villagers who had not dared to say anything before looked at Zhang Wangcai and Zhang Wangcai's men who were like dead dogs. Their long-squeezed anger was vented at this moment. If the Red Army hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed forward.
They went up and beat Zhang Wangcai and his men severely, even to death.
In response to the squeezing anger in everyone's hearts, Xia Yuan also resorted to complaining to let everyone vent their anger in this way.
Immediately afterwards, the Farmers' Association that had been tested in practice in Nianping Village was moved to Laohe Village. Under the general trend, villagers responded to join the Farmers' Association one after another. Then the Farmers' Association tried Zhang Wangcai and Zhang Wangcai's family and knelt on the ground.
The wives and concubines cried bitterly and had been domineering for too long. They had not felt what despair felt like for a long time. It was like they had a stone tied to their body and sunk to the bottom of the lake. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free.
The Red Army was in charge and the trial team organized by the Peasants' Association responded positively and demanded the execution of Zhang Wangcai and his servants. They had endured the oppression for most of their lives and were finally released at this moment.
The executioner was handed over to Zhou Jiwang. As for the beard and buckteeth, Xia Yuan did not let the two people be executed. They chose to stand in line and make contributions sooner or later in the future. They were not in a hurry and asked them to be responsible for killing Zhang Wangcai and others.
It may be counterproductive.
Zhou Jiwang can complete the revenge by the way, which can be regarded as Xia Yuan's selfishness. After all, Xia Yuan comes from the future world and cannot be as pure as the people in this world. Xia Yuan has selfishness and he will not give absolute preferential treatment to the prisoners. If
He is a heinous person and will definitely be interrogated within the organization. Everyone agrees that Xia Yuan will shoot the prisoner immediately.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of gunshots came from Laohe Village, and along with the sound of birds flapping their wings, the whole village fell into silence.
Xia Yuan led the team away, and the first platoon was responsible for the rest. When performing the mission, training the four platoon leaders was one of his plans. When the second platoon returned, they took away Zhang Wangcai's family fortune. Zhang Wangcai's family fortune was gone.
The landowner of Nianping Village had a strong but very impressive family fortune, with more than 3,000 yuan, which once again enriched the Red Army's capital chain.
In addition, Zhang Wangcai also has more than 20 guns, enough to equip two squads of soldiers.
After returning to the village, funds skyrocketed. Xia Yuan also held a simple meeting within the Red Army and began to purchase weapons and equipment. "If you want to suppress bandits, you cannot do without the support of weapons and equipment. I will spend 5,000 yuan to purchase arms. This
This matter was left to the third platoon leader Hu Xianfeng, who disguised himself as a landlord and led a team of troops to the county town to purchase weapons and equipment, while the fourth platoon was responsible for covering it."
