Chapter 3058 3060 [Officials force people to rebel]


    ?After the opening ceremony of Laozu Temple, it became one of the most popular temples in the surrounding area.


    Because everyone believes that there is a true **** in this temple, people come here from hundreds of miles away to burn incense and make wishes, hoping to receive the protection of gods.


    ??Moreover, because of Xiang Nan''s superb medical skills, his ability to count, and his eloquence, the pilgrims who came here basically got what they wanted, so the incense of Laozu Temple became more and more prosperous.


    ??Pilgrims always make offerings every time they come, such as money for sesame oil, money for meritorious deeds, food offerings, etc., so the income of the old ancestral temple is really quite a lot.


    Xiang Nan and Lu San were in the temple during the day, receiving pilgrims from all directions. At night, we close the temple door and go home together.


    Anyway, except for the statues of gods, there is nothing to steal in the temple. The silver coins and food donated by believers are carried home every day.


    ??Moreover, most people believe in ghosts and gods, and few are so bold as to steal things from temples.


    …


    ?The days passed day by day, and on this day, a big event suddenly happened in Bailuyuan.


    It turns out that after spring, people take their accumulated grain to the county town and sell it in exchange for money.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as the truck carrying grain arrived at the county seat, it was robbed by soldiers. And if it wasn''t enough, we had to pay three more loads of grain.


    As soon as this incident came out, the people in Bailu Village were very excited.


    It''s only April now, which is the time of drought, and the people''s food has just been robbed. Now we have to pay three more loads of grain, which makes it impossible for people to live.


    ?So everyone protested one after another, not wanting to hand over the food, and hoping that the patriarch Bai Bingde would lead them to make trouble together.


    “Chief, you have to stand up and uphold justice.”


    “Lu Taiheng’s bones are weak and he can’t hold on anymore. It’s up to you, clan leader!”


    “Chief, let’s fight him, he won’t let us live anyway.”


    ?At this time, Bai Bingde was already very ill.


    Xiang Nan also went to see him. He was already seriously ill and had only a few days to live, so he didn''t treat him anymore.


    "You asked me to lead you to make trouble, but have you ever thought about it? Once a trouble breaks out, people will die." Bai Bingde gasped, almost speechless.


    Hearing what he said, the villagers were frightened at first.


    ?Although they wanted to cause trouble, no one dared to die.


    “How about we go find the little **** and see what he has in mind?” one person suddenly suggested.


    “That’s right, if the little fairy can do calculations, he will definitely have a good idea.”


    “Yes, let’s ask him.”


    ?Everyone said in agreement, turned around and left.


    When Bai Jiaxuan saw it, he quickly said, "We are making trouble, we have to make trouble. We must at least let the officials know that we ordinary people are not easy to mess with."


    ?He thought clearly that if Xiang Nan really took the lead in this matter, then he, the patriarch, would not be able to inherit it from now on.


    After all, if you don’t step up at the critical moment, how can anyone have confidence in you? Lu Taiheng has been scolded as a "softhead" just because he didn''t answer the question.


    If he doesn''t take responsibility, he will also be called a "softhead" when the time comes.


    His father is about to die. If he doesn''t show off now, how will he succeed the Bailuyuan clan leader in the future? By then, I am afraid that the entire Bailuyuan will be decided by the little **** Xiang Nan.


    ?So he decided to stand up and take the lead.


    Seeing him say this, the villagers all stopped again and looked at him in surprise. "What are you talking nonsense about?" When Bai Bingde saw his son saying this, he got up from the kang angrily and cursed, "If you pick this one, you will lose your head."


    "Da, when my brother-in-law broke into the Qing army camp half a year ago, he never thought about his own head." Bai Jiaxuan said firmly.


    ??Bai Bingde couldn''t help but let out a long sigh when he heard what he said.


    …


    "Da, Uncle Jiaxuan is going to cause trouble, don''t get involved in it." At the same time, Xiang Nan said to Lu San.


    ?He didn’t want Lu San to pick the leader, because whoever was the first to pick the leader would end badly.


    At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, and both of them were killed; at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turbans revolted, and all three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang were killed; at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Han Shantong and Liu Futong launched a Red Turban uprising, and both of them died. …


    Since ancient times, peasant uprisings have occurred in all dynasties, but almost none have been successful.


    ??Furthermore, during this Jiaonong uprising, the people had no good ideas at all, and there was no strict organizational leadership, or even a clear leader, so it was destined to be a mess.


    Maybe it started with great success, but once it encountered setbacks, it basically collapsed. To be honest, their combat power has not yet caught up with those bandits on the mountain.


    ?Hence Xiang Nan does not approve of Lu San’s adventure.


    Unless he wants to really start an uprising, he gathers the villagers to form a militia, buys guns, cannons and bullets, and then is recruited by the Kuomintang government and eventually becomes a warlord with real power.


    ?Otherwise, it’s better not to bother and just practice kung fu in the temple.


    "That won''t work. The Bai family is so kind and righteous to us. We can''t just sit idly by when something happens to him." Lu San said.


    He was grateful for the Bai family''s kindness to him, so he didn''t want anything to happen to Bai Jiaxuan.


    "Don''t worry, Uncle Jiaxuan will be fine. If he is really in trouble, I will save him." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "And you have been in trouble recently, so you are destined to have a disaster.


    If you interfere with Uncle Jiaxuan, he will be harmed. When the time comes, everything will turn into trouble for him, good things will turn into bad things, and small things will turn into big things. So don’t get involved in this matter, got it? "


    Hearing what he said, Lu San nodded.


    ??If he is really so unlucky, then don''t implicate Jiaxuan.


    Xiang Nan smiled when he saw this.


    For these ignorant folk, it is better to use this method instead of talking about the big principles, which will produce faster results.


    …


    ??Bai Jiaxuan then sent a message to the villagers to lead the farmers in revolt.


    It is agreed that at noon tomorrow, we will gather at the Sanguan Temple, and three blunderbuss will sound as the signal. At that time, the villagers from Nanyuan, Beiyuan, Dongyuan and Xiyuan rushed to the county seat and forced the county magistrate to take back his life, otherwise he would not return to his original position.


    Since there was no Lu San to help Zhang Luo, and Bai Jiaxuan could not trust anyone else, he submitted all the posts himself. They are Li Dabao''s family in Shenhe Village, He Lao''s family in Hejiafang, and Pangda''s family in Pangjia Village.


    Fortunately, the villagers within a radius of dozens of miles were very resistant to the idea of ??handing over grain. Therefore, as soon as the chicken feather notice came out, it can be said that there was a response, and everyone gathered at the Sanguan Temple.


    It''s just that officials don''t get it for free. They received the news early and sent people out to block the troublemakers in the house.


    ??Moreover, they took away the blunderbuss in their hands so that they could not send out signals.


    Even Bai Jiaxuan was blocked at home by Tian Fuxian and others, unable to move.


    ?Seeing this, Bai Jiaxuan got angry and his teeth became swollen, and his cheeks became swollen.


    ?Because this is the first time he has taken the lead in doing something, the people have listened to his words and are now incited. If the matter comes to a head and he fails to come forward, causing the matter to fail, then from now on, his prestige among the villagers will be gone.
