Chapter 47 Baron Cook
On the fourth day when the Xingtu army entered Tres, a serious incident of smashing occurred. Hundreds of unknown people attacked several porridge sheds set up by the Xingtu army, and the refugees who received the porridge were beaten and expelled.

When the patrol team of the Xingtu Army rushed there, the unidentified people also attacked the patrol team.

The incident caused more than a hundred refugees to be killed and injured, and a ten-member patrol officer was seriously injured. In Tres City, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Rumors spread among the refugees that Xing Tujun gave porridge just to gain the trust of the refugees. Xing Tujun would let these refugees join the army and send them to the front as cannon fodder to fight against the Dynasty army.

All of a sudden, the refugees were panicked, far away from the Xingtu Army's porridge point, and walked on the street. The refugees who had a good impression of the Xingtu Army in the past few days also looked at the Xingtu Army patrol team. deep fear.

Xing Tujun was set up in the headquarters of the city lord's mansion, and the commander Lin Nuoyan looked solemn. The incident of smashing and rumors made Xing Tujun's favorability in the hearts of refugees continue to decline. What's more, it directly disrupted Xing Tujun's upcoming implementation. recruitment plan.

Originally, the Xing Tu Army planned to recruit soldiers among the refugees to strengthen the Xing Tu Army's strength, but facing the enemy hiding in the dark, the Xing Tu Army suddenly fell into a passive position and had to stop recruiting soldiers.

On the Qingshi Road, Lin Chuan's combat boots made a powerful sound, and Lin Chuan, with a livid face, stepped into the headquarters.

As the temporary chief of public security in Tres City, Lin Chuan bears unshirkable responsibility for this incident. Lin Nuoyan did not pursue Lin Chuan's fault, and strictly ordered him to investigate thoroughly. After a day of investigation and visits, Lin Chuan already knew The reason, I came here to ask Lin Nuoyan for instructions.

Lin Chuan handed a list to Lin Nuoyan, and said murderously: "Uncle Lin, I have already found out the reason."

The list is full of big nobles from Tres. According to Lin Chuan's investigation, they are the behind-the-scenes supporters of this incident, and even the unidentified people who smashed up are also from the homes of these nobles.

As a privileged class of the dynasty, the nobility possessed the most wealth in the land, and almost all the senior officials of the dynasty were nobles. Compared with the common people and slaves who were in dire straits, the luxury of the nobility’s life had never changed.

The Xingtu army is an army composed of Xingtu slaves. Most of the soldiers have been bullied and enslaved by the nobles, and they have a deep hatred for the nobles.

Lin Nuoyan slammed the list on the table angrily: "We didn't trouble these aristocrats, but they came to trouble us instead. If we don't teach them a lesson, we really think that our Xingtu army is easy to bully!"

Lin Chuan had wanted to kill the arrogance of these nobles for a long time, and now he cupped his fists and said, "Uncle Lin, let me lead someone to arrest these nobles."

Xia Ge said with a worried face at the moment: "Commander Lin, please think again, if we attack the nobles in Tres, the nobles from other places will definitely unite to strangle us after hearing the news, then our Xingtu army will have no foothold." place."

Lin Nuoyan patted Xia Ge on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, since our Xingtu Army was established, we have relied on the desperate efforts of our brothers to achieve what we are today. We have never relied on the funding and support of nobles. , and will not in the future.”

"Lin Chuan, take someone to execute it. From now on, as long as there is my Xingtu army, there will be no more corrupt nobles who exploit the people!"

"I obey, my lord." Lin Chuan paid a military salute, turned around and strode away.

A moment later, Xing Tujun camp.

Five thousand soldiers of the Xing Tu Army in black clothes and armor stood in the open space, and the battle flag was blown violently by the wind.

Lin Chuan strode up to Dianjiangtai, looked around at the Xingtu soldiers with high morale, and nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Chuan raised his voice and asked: "Soldiers, do you know what to do today?!"

"Kill the nobles!" The soldiers' morale was like a rainbow, and they answered loudly excitedly.

The nobles have become a cancerous tumor of the dynasty, absorbing and squeezing thousands of people, and the Xingtu army will cut them off with sharp knives.

Seeing the morale of the soldiers, Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go!" Lin Chuan drew out his saber.

Five thousand Xingtu soldiers drove out of the camp, and lined up on the street in strong and sharp clothes.

Seeing the swarming troops, the eyeliners sent by the nobles thought that the Xingtu army was going to attack the refugees, showing gloating expressions.

"Hurry up!" The five thousand Xingtu soldiers were divided into dozens of teams, and under the leadership of their respective officers, they ran towards the set goal. The streets of Tres were under martial law, and the street entrances were blocked by refusal horses.

The eyeliners sent by the nobles suddenly realized that the situation was not good, but at this moment the streets were under martial law, except for the army, which was forbidden to pass. Seeing the sturdy Xingtu soldiers guarding the intersection, the eyeliners sent by the nobles could only pray for their noble masters.

Lord Cook is a baron of the dynasty, and he is considered a man of influence in the entire Tres. Although the Xing Tu army occupied Tres, Baron Cook was not affected in the slightest. Whether it is the dynasty army or the rebels, for the nobles They are all with a wooing attitude, so he is not worried about safety.

Baron Cook controls the grain sales of the entire Tres. As a diehard member of the dynasty, Baron Cook saw the arrival of the Xingtu Army and countless refugees pouring in. Therefore, he united with other nobles and decided to make a profit. price.

Originally, one silver coin could buy two bags of grain, but after Baron Cook’s price increase, it was difficult to buy one bag of grain with one gold coin, and countless refugees had to go hungry.

Then Xing Tujun opened a porridge shed, which eased the crisis and blocked Cook and his way of making money. This made Baron Cook very angry and decided to give Xing Tujun a little color, so he secretly sent people to attack the porridge. , smashing refugees, secretly spreading rumors, trying to drive Xing Tujun out of Tres.

But Xing Tujun's reaction was beyond Baron Cook's expectations. When he was enjoying a delicious elk lunch with his family, the panicked butler reported to him in embarrassment that Xing Tujun surrounded his baron's mansion.

"These untouchables disturbed my lunch, and I will make them pay!" Baron Cook cursed as he headed towards the gate, wanting to see what was going on. After all, he secretly sent someone to smash up the soup kitchen. guilty conscience.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the gate of Baron Cook's house collapsed, and a large number of heavily armed Xingtu soldiers rushed in.

"Damn it! What are you untouchables trying to do!" Baron Cook yelled angrily when he saw this scene just now.

Seeing the yelling middle-aged man in fine clothes, Thunderstorm swung his iron fist, and Baron Cook fell to the ground screaming, at least half of Baron Cook's teeth flew out with this punch.
