Chapter 268 Out of Control
But when they arrived at Fabe Village, the development of the situation was beyond Kevin's expectation.
One thing he guessed was that the landowner Baden was not ready for his next move. Kevin led the villagers to surround the Baden family's house and asked Baden to come out to negotiate in person.
The residents of Fabe Village have never seen such a battle. The person who dared to surround Mr. Baden’s house must be some kind of strongman. They were all so frightened that they hid in their own homes.
The door of the Baden family is closed, but there are still many servants and thugs inside. They are armed with weapons, sticks, hoes and other household items that can be used as weapons, and they climb on the walls to protect the courtyard - the Baden family As the largest landowner in this area, he has done a lot of bad things, because he has always been very concerned about the safety of his own home. He built the house he lives in like a small fortress, with people standing on the walls.
Kevin led the villagers to shout outside the wall for a long time. Their target, the landowner Baden, still did not show up, but his butler, a fat guy with big ears and a waistline not far behind his master, slowly and slowly The ground climbed onto the wall.
The butler said arrogantly: "You didn't pay taxes honestly and injured Lord Baden's men, but you still have the guts to run wild in Fabe Village!"
Kevin and others People were irritated by his attitude and shouted: "Let Baden come out and tell us in person."
The housekeeper said disdainfully: "How presumptuous, Lord Baden can be seen by you untouchables whenever you want? I I advise you not to have any wishful thinking, just go home, prepare your taxes, and pay them honestly. Mr. Baden may be kind enough to pardon your crime of tax resistance."
Kevin shouted. Said: "Huh! Your crime of setting up a war tax privately has been discovered by us!"
"Absurd! Mr. Baden is also following the orders of the lord's palace!"
"Then you should take out the lord's decree!"
"Nonsense! You can also read the lord's decree. "
"It's a lie if we can't produce the decree. Originally, we should report it, but if the poll tax can be reduced according to our conditions, we can not report you to the Lord's Mansion. "
The housekeeper was a little surprised after hearing the request of Kevin and others. Then with an extremely exaggerated expression, he put his hands on his ears and said: "What? Louder, I can't hear you!"
"Stop pretending to be confused and let Baden come out! Otherwise we will really go to Lake Town to report him."
"Hahahaha! You guys really made me laugh all day long, you are just a bunch of untouchables...haha Haha!”
The butler burst into laughter, but he irritated the crowd outside the wall one by one.
"Ouch!" A wailing sound sounded, and the butler's forehead was hit with blood by a stone.
The smile soon replaced by anger, the butler pointed at the crowd and yelled: "You...you are so brave!"
"Kill this bitch!"
The angry crowd threw more and more stones.
The housekeeper panicked and ordered behind him: "Quick! Dispel these untouchables quickly!"
A group of people soon appeared on the wall. They also held slings and threw the stones. Shoot hard into the crowd.
The villagers did not expect that there were people inside equipped with slings. A large number of people were hit and suffered severe injuries.
They stood very densely outside the wall, and the slings did not require any accuracy at all. Some people who were hit in the head and other vital parts fell to the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic, followed by collective rage.
“Kill these villains!”
They threw everything they could pick up against the wall.
The stone fighting continued for a while, with people on both sides getting hit intermittently.
The anger of the people outside the wall was getting stronger and stronger. I don’t know who shouted: “Kill these bastards! Let’s rush in and find out that Baden!”
No one paid attention, I don’t know. Someone got two ladders from somewhere, and they just showed up. Then the ladders were quickly put on the wall. The angry villagers climbed up the ladders to the top of the wall and started fighting with the guards of the Baden family. Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Kevin regained his composure and shouted to the people who rushed up the wall: "Just subdue them, don't kill anyone!"
But his voice was drowned out. In the hustle and bustle, no one seemed to hear his voice, or care to listen to him.
People were shouting and shouting, and people kept climbing ladders to the top of the wall. The guards on the wall were quickly suppressed. Seeing that they were at a disadvantage, most of the guards jumped off the wall and ran into the courtyard. , those who couldn't run had to squat down with their heads in their hands, but the angry people seemed not to let these thugs go, and kept punching and kicking them.
The people who crossed the courtyard wall opened the gate from the inside, and the people surrounding the outside rushed in with a roar.
Kevin climbed onto the wall and with great effort stopped those who were still using fists and kicks to retaliate against the guards, but the guards who did not run away had run out of energy.
"Alas!" He sighed, and then stood on the wall and shouted to the villagers who were rushing into the yard to calm down.
But it was useless. After people rushed into the yard, they banged open the doors of each house, found out the people inside and beat them up indiscriminately. In the eyes of them who lost their minds, the people in this house were All people are sinful.
The furious crowd quickly searched the mansion inside and out, but could not find Baden or the housekeeper.
So they tied up the servants in the mansion and forced them to tell them about Baden's whereabouts, but they didn't get any useful information.
During the search, something unexpected happened.
Someone discovered a room with several boxes inside. When the boxes were opened, the golden light made people instantly sluggish.
The box contains a lot of silver coins and copper coins. How have they, who have been poor for generations, ever seen so much money?
After the group was stunned for half a minute, the first person to react rushed forward, grabbed a large handful of money and put it into his pocket, and then the second, third...
< br>
But he was quickly pushed aside, and the crowd behind him rushed forward, scrambling to pick up the money and stuff it into their pockets.
People who were searching in other places also came after hearing the news. Several boxes of money were quickly divided up, and many people even started fighting because of the robbery.
When there was not a penny left in the box, the late arrivals beat their chests and regretted that they had not found this place first.
But they soon found a way to make up for their regrets. Although all the coins were robbed, there were still many items from the past in the house.
Then the chaos officially began. People began to search for property in the house and put anything that seemed valuable into bags.
There was such a big commotion in the Baden family's house, and the villagers of Fabe Village soon knew what happened.
It was like a bolt from the blue: the arrogant Mr. Baden was beaten away! A group of people from other villages ransacked his home and plundered his belongings!
After being shocked, he became unwilling: How could he take advantage of those people from other villages!
No, we also have a share of the Baden family’s belongings! This landlord exploits us a lot on weekdays.
So the villagers of Fabei Village also rushed into the mansion. Because they were intimidated by the courage of the previous group, they did not dare to ask for the property that had been divided, so they robbed the remaining things.
The furniture was moved and dismantled, and granite bricks that they had never seen before were knocked down one by one and taken away.
The servants who were abandoned by Baden were in bad luck. They were forced to hand over their money.
Fabe Village is a large village. The Baden family has lived here for generations. There are several independent branches, as well as other wealthy households in the village, who have also suffered from rice transplants...
Kevin was the only one standing blankly at the gate, crying without tears. This was not what he had imagined before!
When people lost their minds, he tried to stop his companions from messing around, but it didn't work.
Even when he saw others taking large amounts of money, a fiery impulse arose in his heart, and he finally suppressed this desire.
What to do next? Kevin panicked a little.
