Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 271; Take a step back and execute the whole family
Chapter 270; Take a step back and execute the whole family
Lin Sanlang, who was three years older than Rongniang's father, was also from an old mansion soldier, and was Lin Wu's clan brother.

Standing just over 1.8 meters tall, Kong Wu is powerful and extremely sturdy. Like Lin Wu, he is also the leader of the Lijiazhuang Guard and one of the nine important leaders of Liu Wanquan.

Although these nine people are not in the position of stewards, they are poor stewards, and their treatment is the same as that of the second stewards, with a monthly allowance of [-] yuan.

Tonight it was his turn to lead the night watch, leading the five retired old soldiers to inspect Zhuangzi.

These people are different from Li Zhong, the chief steward of the mansion. When it's their turn, these people stay up all night and patrol the Li Family Village.

The scope of the inspection also surrounded the new Lantian County after Zhuangzi. This was something that the Lantian county magistrate most agreed with, and it also saved the county government a lot of thought and manpower.

Today's Lijiazhuang is more than ten times larger than before, and the work of inspections has also increased a lot. It is also a lot of physical work to wander around for a night. Fortunately, the old soldiers are all physically fit. Carefree.

Inspecting Zhuangzi is a unified rule of the five Zhuangzi of the Li family. Each Zhuangzi has assigned manpower, led by nine small bosses, who take turns to patrol all night long.

The work of inspecting Zhuangzi is the favorite job of these old mansion soldiers. Lin Sanlang led his men, talking and laughing, walking unhurriedly.

Suddenly there was a sound of a drum, and the six old soldiers immediately shook their bodies. One of the thin men said hurriedly;
"Lintou, something serious happened in the mansion."

As soon as a sentence was finished, there were dense and regular thumping sounds, which were urgent and sudden, but not chaotic at all.

Lin Sanlang didn't say a word, and waved his hands with a serious expression. The six soldiers of the government also knew that something serious happened, so they turned around and rushed towards the direction of the residence without talking nonsense.

They were all too familiar with the sound of this drum. Before the two armies faced each other, when they heard this kind of drum sound, they had to quickly run to gather in the camp and gather around the main account of the Chinese army, waiting for orders.

And the sound of the drum in the mansion means that something important has happened. The rhythm of the sound of this drum is also the sound of the drum gathered by the crowd. As long as it is the retreating soldiers of the government, they can understand it.

This kind of regular drumbeat spread densely in all directions, and everyone's pace became faster...

In a small courtyard on the side courtyard of Kaiguo County Zifu in Lantian, Chen Bin, a soldier of the government, had just performed Zhou Gong's ceremony with his own woman.

After sweating profusely, Chen Bin turned over and lay flat on the couch. The husband and wife cuddled together, repeating the love words of more than ten years, which was still extremely sweet.

Before he could say a few words, Chen Bin sat up suddenly, and his wife Chen asked in surprise when she saw that her husband was acting abnormally, unlike usual;

"Husband, what is this for?"

"Shh, don't make any noise, why did I hear the beating of a gong in the front yard, it's either water or a thief.

I have to get up quickly, the lady should rest first, and a certain family will go to the front to see what happened to the thunder? "

Mrs. Chen was about to enjoy the tenderness after the catastrophe, but when she saw her husband, she had to get up and go to bed, and she complained disapprovingly;
"Husband, why should you be surprised? The servants in the mansion are all family servants. They are conscientious and diligent in doing errands. How can they get out of trouble?"

After hearing this, Chen Bin speeded up his dressing speed again, and frowned while replying;

"That's even more troublesome. If it's not running water, if the gong sounds, it must be a thief. A certain family has to go to the captain's place to gather."

The Chen family is in her thirties and forties, and she is still pouted, posing like a little daughter;
"Husband is really worrying about it. When our Zhuangzi of the Li family dares to be attacked by a strong person, what is the difference between that and courting death?"

"My lady's words are wrong, don't forget, last year, the nine elders who fired bricks, and the Zhuangzi behind him were tied up. It's not the same now.
There are a lot of people who are thinking about Langjun's secret method, as the captain said, they should be more careful in the future, okay, go to bed first, and come when you go to a certain house. "

Without waiting for his wife to agree, Chen Bin took a half-foot-long iron stick and walked out without looking back.

Chen Bin's woman saw that her man had already left the house, so she lay down again unwillingly. She couldn't help sighing that today's important human relations event was not perfect, but fortunately, the most important thing was basically over...

Mrs. Chen was still complaining non-stop. Outside the yard, a copper gong was beating chaotically into the side yard.

No one yelled, just kept beating like that, the sound of the gong did not stop, and then came the shocking sound of the big drum, which entered everyone's ears.

The 39 small courtyards living in the side yard all started lighting the lamps, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the 39 families rushed out of their small homes one after another and rushed towards the front yard.

(One hour is equal to two hours, divided into ten quarters, quarter twelve minutes. Half quarter to six minutes.)
Not to mention that the 39 government soldiers in the mansion over there are gathering, but to say that Ma Benchu, the retired chief manager of the granary, walked out of the inner room trembling slightly.

Ma Benchu, who was in charge of the granary in the previous generation, lived in a large house where hundreds of Ma clan members had already gathered outside. The people standing in the yard were all the heads of the lower branches.

The Ma family was brought over by the Li family from Longxi. Among the nineteen surnames of the family, it is the largest family.

The genes of a typical strong man in Northwest China are all tall and big. Even Ma Benchu, who is in his 70s, is still about 1.7 meters six after experiencing the bone shrinking skills of the elderly.

Although Ma Benchu ​​resigned as the chief steward, the position of the patriarch surnamed Ma is still safe and secure.

Patriarch Ma was supported by his eldest son, Ma Ju, and walked to the middle of the yard. The old and hoarse voice was brought out with great excitement, and the words he said back then were as bold as ever;

"My Li family, the drums to summon the people have already sounded,

It has been 200 years since the Ma family moved here with the thirteenth generation of the authentic Li family and the second son of the Changfang, the first generation head of the Li family in Lantian, from Longxi. The gathering drum was only played once.
The third-generation Patriarch offended a wealthy family in Sichuan when he took office as governor of Sichuan and Shu. After leaving office, the other party sent thirty dead soldiers to break into my Li family's mansion at night...

That year, the old man was 26 years old, and A Lang was only 11 years old.
The third-generation patriarch personally beat the drum and summoned the clansmen to rescue. The old man took a fire fork and killed five thieves. It was really enjoyable.

Now that the war drums are ringing again, the old man is already waiting to die and cannot go to serve. However, Erlang, surnamed Ma, cannot show up.

My Ma family is the son of the Li family, with nineteen surnames, the first common surname, and the lifeblood of the granary has been managed by the Ma family for generations, what an honor it is.

If you go forward tonight, even if you die at the hands of bandit soldiers, you are still a man. It should be recorded in the genealogy of the Ma surname.

If there is anyone who dares to live on the sidelines, take a step back and ruin the name of the number one surname of my Ma family, before the Li clan card appears in the world.

This old man is about to implement the first family rule of the Ma family, and execute all the old and young of his family. Then don't blame me for being cruel, do you hear me? "

In the yard, the heads of dozens of Ma family branches suddenly agreed.

Ma Benchu ​​raised his old hand like bark;

"Go."

No one wasted their words, hundreds of strong men from the Ma family, each with a fire fork, rushed to the front county mansion like crazy.

At this time, just a moment after the first drum sounded, the Li family in Lantian, the [-]th surname of the family's son and servant, was the fastest to respond.
Nineteen old men, nineteen patriarchs, don't underestimate them, the nineteen family can follow the Li family for more than ten generations, and it is getting more and more prosperous.

They each have the means of quick response, and they gathered the strong men of the clan in an instant.

Nineteen old men unanimously issued an order to order their own strong and strong men to go to the mansion ahead and kill them.

I am afraid that the 50-year mirror image will be staged again, and the safety of the Patriarch is above all and more important to those who have followed them for generations, so they must rush to the mansion as soon as possible...

Liu Wanquan's first pass was to gather the drums together and stop when they fell;
The 39 soldiers of the mansion who lived in the mansion arrived at the front yard first, the main village of Lijiazhuang, and dozens of soldiers also arrived at the same time.

Lin Sanlang, who was inspecting Zhuangzi, also appeared beside the drum with five subordinates.
There were over a hundred of the family servants in the county mansion, gathered in the front yard, waiting for Liu Wanquan to give orders.

Nineteen surnames, strong men from nineteen big families, galloped here, saw that the 50-year picture did not appear,
Only then did everyone feel relieved and surrounded the entrance of the mansion. The parents entered the entrance and stood beside Liu Wanquan, waiting for orders...
