"Do you have to be shot?"

Xu Shijiu frowned and looked at Yin Shangwen and asked.

Early this morning, Yin Shangwen came back from Yanjia Town and reported to him that he had arrested Mr. Yan and had already been tried in public yesterday. He had to wait for Xu Shijiu to agree to carry out public shooting.

To be honest, Xu Shijiu was surprised by Yin Shangwen's suggestion.

In more than a dozen towns in Longkou County, there are many local tyrants and evil gentry who are more greedy than Old Master Yan. There are very few local tyrants and evil gentry that are definitely enough to bully men and women. The standards in the fishing village are to be suppressed, and to shoot them, they should also be suppressed. These local tyrants and evil gentry who are full of evil deeds are not enlightened gentry like Old Master Yan.

Compared with other gentry, Old Master Yan is really an enlightened gentry.

"My opinion is that Yan Zhong must be shot." Yin Shangwen said, "Although the situation in Yanjia Town has been opened, the concerns of the villagers have not been eliminated. The influence of the Yan family in Yanjia Town is deeply rooted. Even if Yan Sanquan and Yan Wuyou's brothers defected to the Japanese to become traitors, it did not damage the status and influence of the Yan family at all."

"In this case, it is impossible for the villagers to worry that the Yan family will recover the day. Once the Yan family recovers, will the counterattack be implemented? Will the land they just redeemed and the land they redeemed were taken back by the Yan family? Will the tenant rent and profits they paid back from the Yan family over the years be recovered?"

"With such concerns, the support of the township party for our democratic government will be reserved."

"Only by suppressing Mr. Yan and using thunder means to completely dismantle the Yan family's power, the villagers will dispel their concerns and truly support our anti-Japanese democratic government. In short, I think that if we cannot give the villagers enough guarantees, the anti-Japanese democratic government will not be able to obtain unreserved support from the villagers."

Xu Shijiu is still a little hesitant, and his position is different. Xu Shijiu does not feel any disgusting about a gentry like Mr. Yan. Even Mr. Yan lends money, Xu Shijiu doesn't think anything is wrong. Five-point profit is definitely not a high profit in this era, let alone Mr. Yan has not made a big fight, and he has made a small fight.

Yin Shangwen said: "I also admit that Yan Zhong is already an enlightened gentry compared to other gentry. However, no matter how enlightened he is, it is an indisputable fact that he exploits his own country and party. After investigation by our county party committee, there are more than 1,000 households in Yanjia Town, of which more than 300 are Yanjia tenants, and more than 60% of the land in Yanjia Town are Yanjia land."

"There are so many tenants and land in the Yan family?" Xu Shijiu was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"That's not counting." Yin Shangwen said again, "Most of the other 600 households have borrowed usury from the Yan family. The reality is that over the years, the Yan family's property has become more and more abundant. The grain accumulated in the granary alone is enough to eat the whole town for more than three years, while most of the other townsmen have almost no overnight food. Is this a normal phenomenon?"

Xu Shijiu was secretly shocked when he heard this and asked, "The Yan family has so much food?"

Yin Shangwen said: "This is just a conservative estimate. If the Yan family is suppressed and the Yan family's property is confiscated, I can guarantee that the harvest is much larger than this number. For the 19th Detachment, it is like a timely help. If the troops are expanded and recruited, they cannot do without the supply of food and wages."

Seeing that Xu Shijiu was a little moved, Yin Shangwen wanted to slaughter the Yan family as a fat pig.

Yin Shangwen then said: "Captain, there is another advantage to suppressing the Yan family. Even the Yan family, whose power is deeply rooted in the local area, has been suppressed by the democratic government. Which gentry, in every town, dares to sing a rebellion with the democratic government? And these businesses in the county should also think about the consequences of always perfunctory democratic government."

Xu Shijiu was completely moved. As Yin Shangwen said, it is an indisputable fact that the Yan family exploited the villagers.

"Okay, I'll agree to this matter, but it cannot be expanded. Unless it is a local tyrant and evil gentry who do many evil deeds and is extremely angry, it's better to kill a few less." Xu Shijiu said, "After all, the national united front that we are pursuing now. At this stage, our primary enemy is little Japanese. As long as these gentry and merchants are willing to fight against Japan, we should just open the door to them."

Old Master Yan was publicly executed by Longkou Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, which caused a great shock.

However, the most shocking thing was the town party in Yanjia Town. For the town party in Yanjia Town, the Yan family is the heaven, and the old master Yan is the master. But now, the old master Yan has been shot and the Yan family has been searched by the Anti-Japanese and Democratic Government. The once arrogant and arrogant Yan family has completely disappeared.

"Second, are you going?"

Seeing Yan Laosi walking out with a tiger face, the woman quickly snatched up and blocked the door.

Outside the gate, two young men walked by with a loudspeaker, shouting as they walked: "Friends, fellow villagers, reduced rent, reduced interest, and redeemed the land. There will be good days in the future, but the little Japanese will not die of my desire to perish. They will soon gather troops to fight, and Longkou will soon be attacked by the little Japanese."

"The little Japanese are more cruel than bandits and bullies, and more arduous than local tyrants and evil gentry. If they come to Longkou, we will not think of living a good life. Our wife and daughter will be humiliated by them, and the food we have worked hard to grow will be taken away by them. At that time, we will not even be as good as tenant farmers for landlords and old wealth."

"Famous people, if you don't want to go back to the past, if you want to protect your wife and daughter, and to protect your land and property, you can only pick up your guns, join the army, and fight in the army. We use bullets and grenades to tell the Japanese that Longkou is definitely not the place they should come."

The two young men shouted and walked away. Yan Laosi twisted his body and was about to go out again.

"Second Lao Si, don't go, I won't let you go." The woman blocked Yan Lao Si's way again. She knew where her man was going. What he wanted to go was a recruitment site outside the town. He wanted to sign up for the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. But the woman was extremely afraid of this. She could not imagine that once her man really went to the battlefield, she died on the battlefield, leaving her widow and three hungry children, but how could she live?

"Damn, I have to go." Yan Laosi had made up his mind.

When he saw Mr. Yan being shot in public at noon today, and then the working group sent the 14 oceans and more than 600 kilograms of grain that the Yan family had returned to him, Yan Laosi had already made a decision in his heart. He felt that this anti-Japanese democratic government was a government that was truly considering the poor, and he was willing to defend the government with his life.

Although Yan Laosi had only been in a private school for half a year and had no knowledge, he could still see clearly that defending the anti-Japanese democratic government of Longkou is to protect their family's future life. Now, the land sold by the dictionary has been redeemed, and the family has enough food for four mothers to eat for a year, and life has finally come to hope.

Yan Laosi would never want to return to his previous difficult life.

Just a few days ago, he was still squatting under his roof and crying. He had thought of committing suicide by hanging the beam. If it weren't for the young age of three children, he might have been a ghost in the underworld at this time.

"Fourth brother, I don't object to you if you want to join the army, don't go to the regular army, let's be a militia." The woman shed tears. The woman knew her own man's temperament very well. Usually, he looked depressed and could not beat a single fart with eight sticks, but once she made a decision, she couldn't even pull back the nine-headed cows, so she could only compromise.

There are two recruitment offices located in the Citang of the Town, one recruits militias and the other recruits regular troops.

Although being a militia is also very dangerous and may be transferred to the battlefield, it is at least safer.

"No, I'll be a regular soldier." Yan Laosi refused his woman without hesitation.

"Fourth brother, have you ever thought about it? If you have a few shortcomings, how can we orphans and widows live?

"Damn, have you ever thought about where the regular army would come from if no one signs up? If the little Japanese really came over and if Longkou County could not be defended, then no one would think of having a good life. The little Japanese are not humans, they are all beasts, and everything can be done. Therefore, I can't let them enter Yanjia Town."

"Lao Si, do you have to go?" The woman looked at Yan Lao Si sadly, hoping that he could change his mind.

But Yan Laosi put the food on his back, turned his head around the woman, and walked away without looking back.

Looking at Yan Laosi's figure leaving, the woman was already rubbing her tears, and a half-old boy walked out of it, holding a girl with her left hand and holding a smaller one with her right hand. The girl raised her head and asked, "Mom, are you going, dad?"

"Your father, he is going to join the army." The woman wiped away her tears and turned to face the three children. She immediately became strong. She took the youngest child from her oldest child, and then led the little girl into the house, saying, "There are a group of robbers outside. Your father has to drive them away."

"Dad is so powerful, even robbers beat him." The little girl said innocently.
