When Sun Quan heard this, he felt angry. In Jiangdong, who else could compare with Sun Quan? He wanted to see who was more arrogant than him in Moling City, so he walked over with two guards.
"Untouchable, you still want to ask me for money. You are lucky that I didn't drive you out of Moling. Get out of Moling immediately." Sun Quan stepped forward, only to see the intersection of two streets. The young man in blue led a dozen or so guards, and looked at four or five refugees with disgust.
"Mr. Xu, but what you said, five of us will work for your Xu family for ten days, a total of ten stones of rice. Now that the work is done, you have to admit it." An old man pointed at the young man in blue, trembling all over. , said angrily.
"Hmph, old man Mo, you say I, Xu, owes you food, but you have written evidence." The blue-clothed youth squinted and said arrogantly.
"you?"
Old man Mo and the others are honest farmers who don’t know anyone in Chinese. They took their family and fled from Xuzhou to Jiangdong, and finally settled down in Moling. They did temporary work for the Xu family, and it was only a verbal transaction.
Several families are now waiting for the food to be put into the pot, but they did not expect the Xu family to turn their faces and deny anyone. If there is no food to put into the pot, they will starve to death.
"Without written evidence, even if you sue the Yamen, you won't be able to sue a certain family. Get lost." The young man in blue looked at the miserable men with disgust on his face, and kicked old man Mo away.
[Chapter 237 of the main body who is the king of Moling? ]
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family passed on the family knowledge, and the children in the family, who studied and became officials, had a first-class influence on the whole world and the government and the public, while the so-called powerful families established themselves in one place by controlling the land and population.
In Moling, the Xu family is the leader of the Moling tyrants. It is the largest local tycoon in Moling. It unites these dozens of powerful forces to form the local power of Moling. This group of local tyrants controls more than [-]% of Moling. soil of.
General Zhengdong's Mansion has already begun to attack the powerful people from various places in terms of the population of Jiangdong. In the fourth year of Chuping, Jiangdong fought overseas and sent over [-] tenants to Yizhou. They were forcibly recruited by the local powerful .
In terms of land, it is natural not to be too tense, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.
Therefore, a phenomenon has been created in various parts of Jiangdong. [-]% of the land is controlled by less than [-]% of the people. Naturally, some people have land but no one cultivates it, and some people want to cultivate the land but have no land to cultivate.
Moling is the most special, because Moling confiscated a large number of refugees from Jiujiang and Xuzhou, making this contrast even more obvious.
During the time of spring plowing, every household was busy. The Xu family had a lot of fields, but there were not enough tenants. Naturally, they could only find some people from outside to do it. More than a year in Moling, there were refugees, and Old Man Mo and his group came from Xuzhou.
In the past, Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou to avenge his father. The Cao soldiers under his command were even more hostile. They attacked Xiapi from Pengcheng and massacred the city several times. The river, one block at a time, filled with resentment in the bright red river.
Old man Mo was from Xiapi back then. He was originally a tenant under the command of a large family. However, this large family was also beheaded when Cao Jun broke the city. Young and old, and a family of in-laws and son-in-law, more than a dozen people, went all the way south, crossed the river, and entered Moling.
Entering Moling, although the county government opened warehouses to distribute food at the beginning, as long as they help build the city wall, the family can have enough food, but the good times don't last long. Since last month, the Moling county government has been running out of food.
They just need to find other jobs. Old man Mo, his eldest daughter's husband's family, two families, and five strong men have worked for the Xu family for ten days. Although they only have ten stones of food, they are enough to support their family. It's been half a month, but in the end, the work is done, but there is no food.
"receipt?"
Old man Mo was in his fifties, wearing some tattered sackcloth, he was not tall, but he was a bit lean and strong, his face was a bit thick, and his brows were wrinkled.
In the past, when they worked as tenants or long-term workers for big households, they would make written receipts and press their fingerprints as evidence, but these days, ten-day temporary workers are basically verbal contracts.
"Mr. Xu, we peasants who don't know how to read, how can we make a written statement? You can take pity on our family and return the food we owe us? There are more than a dozen people in our family who are still waiting. This food saves lives!"
Old man Mo knew that he couldn't fight hard with these family members, so he begged for mercy in a low voice, hoping to get food, otherwise, within two days, his family would run out of food.
"Hmph, there is no proof, why do you say that my son owes you food? Everyone judges, is it true?" The blue-robed youth looked at the crowd watching the excitement around him triumphantly, looking like me The appearance of reason.
"Uncle, it's clearly the fault of the Xu family, why no one dares to say it?" Among the surrounding crowd, a young man with amber green eyes frowned fiercely as he watched this scene, and turned his head. Looking at a middle-aged man in silk and satin, he asked in a low voice.
"Little brother, who can't see that it's the fault of the Xu family, but in this Moling, who dares to offend the Xu family?" The middle-aged man sighed, shook his head, and said.
"That's right, it's not the first time for the Xu family. The Xu family just wanted to drive the refugees out of Moling. It was a bit restrained, but since the county magistrate left, Mr. Xu's family has become arrogant." At this time A man came over, looked at the old man Mo's family, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that this family has worked hard for ten days, but in the end they didn't get anything, and the county government has run out of food. Know how they spend their days!"
"Is there no law in Moling?" The young man narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, I have!"
A passer-by beside him replied softly, "Xu County Lieutenant controls thousands of county soldiers, and he is the king of Moling."
"Hehehe, it turns out that there are soldiers and the grass head king!" The young man looked at Xu Ming, a young man in blue robe not far away, with a sneer, with a killing intent in his heart.
At this moment, old man Mo's complexion changed drastically. He could only grit his teeth and look at the people around him expectantly, hoping that someone would stand up and say something fair, but everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out, which disappointed him.
"Mr. Xu, if you don't give us food today, I'll sue the county government and let Xu Xiancheng judge." Old man Mo's thoughts may turn into disappointment, but when he thinks of the young and old in the family, he can't care. After so many visits, his complexion became ferocious, and he pointed at the young man in blue robe, and said fiercely.
After entering Moling for more than half a year, he also clearly knew that only Xu Xiancheng was on the side of these outside refugees, and Xu Xiancheng was at odds with the Xu family, and he was not afraid of the Xu family. call the shots.
"Hey, take Xu Shu to suppress our Xu family, you are a pariah and you are worthy, without evidence, are you just blackmailing our Xu family? My son is in a good mood today, let you go, get out!"
Hearing the words, the blue-robed youth was furious in his heart, a sneer was formed on the corner of his mouth, his eyes squinted, revealing a light of contempt, he kicked old man Mo one meter away, and said with a sneer: "Old man Mo, you It's best to take the whole family and get out of Moling immediately. I don't want me to see you again. Be careful that I send you untouchables to the county government, so that you can taste the disaster of prison. I'll see if Xu Shu can help you. "
Xu Ming is Xu Mu's legitimate son, so naturally he doesn't want this little food. This is a game he specially set up to deal with the refugees in the city. His father has always disliked the refugees in Moling City, so he tried every means to get them out of the city. The refugees from the city were driven out.
Xu Ming didn't dare to be arrogant before, because the county magistrate Fan Lin was there, and he had no choice but to be suppressed by Fan Lin, but now Fan Lin is not here, and the new county magistrate has not yet arrived, Xu Shu and his father Xu Mu, everyone is so tall and big, Besides, the Xu family was still the most powerful in Moling, so he naturally became arrogant, started to make an example of others, and then drove these refugees out of Moling one by one.
"father?"
"How do you beat people?"
The two sons next to old man Mo hurried forward and pulled old man Mo up from the ground. The son-in-law and son-in-law's younger brother also stepped up. Their eyes widened and they looked at Xu Ming angrily.
"Bastard, you dare to hit my father, I will fight with you."
Old man Mo’s youngest son, Mo Erniu, is only in his twenties, with a strong build and a violent and impulsive personality. come up.
"A pariah, kill him!"
More than a dozen guards from the Xu family around Xu Ming stepped up to protect Xu Ming. Mo Er Niukong had strength, and he didn't know how to use it. With his brute force, after he hit the two guards, he was surrounded by four or five guards from the Xu family. Beating.
"Mr. Xu, stop, stop first!"
Old man Mo rushed up immediately. They were all peasants, with some strength, but they were not good at fighting. Moreover, some of Xu's guards had long swords on their waists, and they were released within a quarter of an hour.
"The old man is wrong. We don't want the food. We don't want it. We will leave Moling tomorrow. Mr. Xu, please let us go!" Old man Mo hurriedly begged for mercy. He had experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion clearly. If you want to survive, you must not be confronted head-on by such a powerful force. As long as you can survive, you will leave Moling if you leave Moling.
"Hmph, it's really a toast and you don't want to eat fine wine. Tomorrow the Japanese master doesn't want to see you." Hearing what the old man Xu said, Xu Ming showed a satisfied smile, waved his hand, and asked the guards to stop. The jurisdiction of the Eastern General's Mansion is not the chaotic world of the past, there is order, and he dare not kill people, so that there is a big turmoil, which attracts Xu Shu.
"and many more!"
At this time, suddenly a young man in Tsing Yi gently stretched out his hand to push aside the crowd, strode out, looked at Xu Ming, with a smile as cold as ice on the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that under the rule of Marquis Wu, in the hinterland of Jiangdong, in the majestic Moling, there are still people who despise the king's law so much, beat them like this, and even drive them out of Moling, Mr. Xu, what do you have? Are you qualified to do so?"
The young man was dressed in Tsing Yi, with a handsome appearance, flowing black hair, handsome and illegal, with a long sword pinned to his waist, and an air of carelessness about his body, which made everyone a little distracted.
"Who are you?" Seeing someone stepping up to make trouble, Xu Ming's expression turned gloomy. He stared at Sun Quan and asked in a cold voice.
"Who is it? You don't care. It's the so-called help when the road is injustice. What your Xu family has done today is too much. The old man has worked so hard, why can't he get a single rice? Don't you want it?" I really can't see them starving to death, if you don't tell a reason, I have no choice but to take you to the county government to judge."
Sun Quan never thought that he would use this method to enter Moling, but this is a good opportunity, he can't waste too much time in Moling, the current situation is so tense, he must build Jinling City in the shortest possible time.
This is a good opportunity to cut through the mess, cut off the Xu family directly, and then suppress these local tyrants, otherwise, there is no guarantee that they will not be hindered when they concentrate on building Jinling City.
Standing at Sun Quan's current position, even the four major families in Jiangdong are nothing more than that. A small local tyrant in Moling is afraid, but of course he is not afraid.
