"Old Master Yan is here"

"Old Master Yan is here"

The shadow of the tree and the name of the person. As soon as the old man Yan arrived, the atmosphere inside and outside the ancestral hall changed suddenly.

Those who were still watching couldn't help but show a bit of gloating on their faces. This is how people are. However, life is so hard and difficult, they can always find some fun. Now, if they can see those fellow villagers who are trying to challenge the authority of the Yan family, they will be their greatest joy.

Those who had already entered the ancestral hall, including Yan Laosi, couldn't help but feel upset in their hearts.

Although he was holding a crutch, Old Master Yan's pace was extremely steady. He walked into the ancestral hall without even needing Yan Qi's support. The busy working group in the ancestral hall quickly became alert. More than 20 officers and soldiers of the brigade responsible for protecting the safety of the working group also raised their guns and pointed the gun at Old Master Yan.

The more than 20 guards behind Mr. Yan were not willing to be outdone and also raised the gun in his hand.

Both sides were at a strife, and the air in the ancestral hall suddenly became tense. At this time, there was a slight turmoil, and the situation was immediately filled with guns and fire.

Only two people remain calm.

One is of course Mr. Yan. This old man has experienced great storms and will certainly not be scared by the small scene in front of him. The other is Yin Shangwen. Although Yin Shangwen is young, he has also seen the world and has carried out rent and interest reduction work in Jingxian County. The armed working group where Yin Shangwen is even a fierce fight with a rich ranger.

"Young man, I heard that you are going to do something free of rent and interest?" Old Master Yan looked out and stared at Yin Shangwen and asked.

Although no one has introduced it, Old Master Yan has what kind of eyesight? He immediately realized that Yin Shangwen was the main agent.

"Old man, you are wrong." Yin Shangwen looked at Old Master Yan and corrected, "It is not rent-free, but rent-free interest reduction. Our anti-Japanese democratic government clearly advocates that the legitimate rights and interests of the gentry in each township should be protected, but rent-free interest that exceeds the legitimate rights and interests must be reduced. I also hope that Old Master Yan, you can support our work."

"Support your work?" Old Master Yan said coldly, "Why?"

"Old man, I advise you to be more aware of your circumstances and not try to resist the government." Another young man behind Yin Shangwen could no longer bear it and stood up to scold Old Master Yan, but was suppressed by Yin Shangwen.

"Government?" Old Master Yan sneered, "Who was your so-called anti-Japanese democratic government enfeoffed? Has it been approved by the National Government? Is there a letter issued by Chairman Jiang or the Chairman of Anhui Province? Nothing is there, that is, the party and a bandit. As the mayor of Yanjia Town, I have the right to arrest you.

"You're going to give it a try." The young man behind Yin Shangwen could no longer bear it. With a wave of his hand, more than 20 officers and soldiers from the security brigade behind him pulled the bolts and pushed the bullets into the load.

"Young man, I advise you to think clearly about the consequences before speaking and acting." Old Master Yan ignored the young man behind Yin Shangwen, nor did he pay attention to the muzzle that was aimed at him at six or seven holes. He just shook his robe and said to Yin Shangwen leisurely, "Do you believe it or not? As long as I stomp my feet, you don't want to step out of Yanjia Town again."

Speaking of this, the negotiations were basically broken, so Yin Shangwen was no longer polite and responded coldly: "I don't believe it. Old Master Yan might as well stamp his foot and let me see it."

Mr. Yan was now forced to the corner of the wall, and immediately turned around and shouted at the butler Yan Qi, "Xiao Qi, go and summon the villagers and show these outsiders the prestige of our men in the Yan Family Town."

"Yes," the housekeeper Yan Qi agreed and turned around.

In just a moment, the bell of "Dangdang" sounded outside the ancestral hall.

There is a hundred-year-old pine tree outside the ancestral hall. There is a horizontal branch on the two of them. A bell is hung on this branch. Whenever there is something, such as punishing adulterers and adulterers, bandits coming to invade, or if a town meeting is to be held, the bell will be ringed, and then the men in the town will flock to you with their guys.

When the bell rang, Old Master Yan asked the servant to bring a chair and sat down calmly.

Yin Shangwen was not willing to be outdone, so he also brought a bench to sit down opposite Mr. Yan.

The two of them stared at each other and confronted each other for about ten minutes. There was already a lot of noise outside the ancestral hall.

"Young man." Old Master Yan looked at Yin Shangwen, with a smile of a winner on his face and said, "If you are willing to accept your mistakes now, and cancel the bullshit policy of rent-free and interest-free, I can still give you a chance to go back to the county town with all your heads."

Yin Shangwen smiled and said, "Old Master Yan, I still say the same thing. Whether you are willing or not, resist or not, the policy of reducing rent and interest rates must be implemented. The Yan family has exploited the rent of the whole town's fellow villagers over the years, and the profits must be refunded in full. If the whole town's elders intend to redeem the land, the Yan family must not shirk responsibility for any reason."

"Arrogant" Old Master Yan was very angry by Yin Shangwen's words. Even though he had been working hard for decades of qi cultivation, his beard was trembling. He immediately got up and walked out of the ancestral hall, preparing to gather the villagers to teach these young people who were ignorant of the world a lesson | 丨Stop them from taking Yanjia Town as a place where they can go in and out at will.

However, when Old Master Yan walked out of the ancestral hall, he unexpectedly discovered that the situation seemed to be wrong.

There were crowds of people outside the ancestral hall, and almost all the old and young men in the town came. That's right, all the old and young men were fucking the guys in their hands, which was also right, but the problem was that these old and young men were not angry, nor did they show the momentum of crushing these outsiders into powder, or even... they were a little indifferent.

That's right, it's just indifference. Old Master Yan felt the indifference from the eyes of the villagers.

However, Mr. Yan had seen the world after all, so he calmed down quickly and paused with a crutch first, ready to speak. However, what surprised Mr. Yan was that before he could speak, a voice shouted out first: "Reduce rent, reduce interest, return the land rent that has been paid over the years to us."

Old Master Yan was furious, raised his crutch and hit the man.

The man snatched the man, and Old Master Yan struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of it. When Dingqing looked at him, he took over his crutch as if he was honest and could not hit half a fuck with a hammer. But this time, Old Master Yan was like a snatching Xiongxin and dared to confront Old Master Yan in person.

"Rebelled, reversed." Old Master Yan was so angry that he trembled all over.

The housekeeper Yan Qiyi waved his hand and yelled at the servant behind him: "Catch me up."

Two servants rushed up and were about to catch people, but before they rushed forward, more villagers had already stood up, holding hatches, shoulder poles, hoes and even bird guns in their hands, protecting Yan Laosi behind them. While confronting Yan's servants, these villagers shouted in unison: "Reduce rent, reduce interest rates, pay us rent, pay us back our profits."

"Reduce rent and interest, pay back our tenant rent, pay back our profits, pay back the money."

More and more villagers surrounded him, and the scene soon became angry. However, the object of anger was not Yin Shangwen and his working group, but Mr. Yan, the Yan family.

After all, the authority of the Yan family is actually based on violence.

This power foundation is actually not solid. If you wishfully think that the power foundation connected by the clan town party is as a bond is, it means that you lack sufficient understanding of this power structure. When facing threats from foreign towns and foreign parties, the clan town party will indeed show a united side and have a considerable cohesion.

However, when problems and contradictions come from the inside and external forces intervene, this kind of organization can easily collapse.

A few years ago, the National Government also cracked down on local tyrants and bad gentry, but did not master the correct method and just tried to change the status quo with external forces. As a result, local tyrants and bad gentry gathered the villagers and completely undermined the county magistrate sent by the National Government. In the end, the National Government could only compromise.

However, the Communist Party’s attack on local tyrants and evil gentry in the Soviet area, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and the vast anti-Japanese base areas was very effective. None of the local gentry with great prestige or the local tyrants and evil gentry who only knew about Yuruo Village could compete with the Communist Party.

In a word, the Communist Party’s crackdown on local tyrants and evil gentry is not based on external forces, but on the internal forces of local villagers.

The Communist Party’s weapon is to reduce rent and interest rates, which is something that the National Government cannot learn, because the position of officials sent by the National Government is wrong. No matter who revolutions, it is impossible to revolutionize one’s own life. Most of these officials are from the local landlord class, so it is absolutely impossible for the poor to make the landlord rebellion.

The situation in Yanjia Town is similar to that in other places.

Old Master Yan still fantasized that the Yan family could still respond as usual and drive Yin Shangwen and his working group out of Yanjia Town, but this was a delusion.

Facing the angry village party and the villagers, Mr. Yan felt confused for the first time.

What's wrong? The Yan family really did something wrong? Why did it become the target of public criticism?

Yin Shangwen also walked out of the ancestral hall and saw the villagers of Yanjia Town angrily condemning Old Master Yan, a smile appeared on his face. The situation in Yanjia Town seemed to have opened up.
