Chapter 102: Winning Xiulin Fort

But this time, they touched the outside of the village and had not had time to go in to burn, kill and loot, but a group of people suddenly came out of the mountains and forests next to them.

The pirates were shocked, and then they saw that these people were not wearing military uniforms and thought they were friends. The pirate leader asked, "Who are you?"

There were only nearly a hundred people who emerged from the mountains and forests, but they were all holding weapons. The leader was a young man, handsome and handsome. He held a long sword with a flashing cold light in his hand and sneered: "We are the people of Xiulin Castle, here to take the lives of you thieves!"

"Xiulin Castle?"

Many pirates' faces changed drastically. The pirate leader, who was holding a steel fork, said fiercely: "We have nothing to do with you Xiulin Castle. What are you doing in your care about your little things? Could it be that you have become a lackey of the court?"

But the young man said quietly: "It is because you have no connection that you deserve to die..."

As he said that, he raised his arms and waved his sword, and without saying anything more, he rushed towards the pirate gang first.

Judging from his steps, he was brisk and elegant, and his attainment of light skills was obviously extraordinary.

The nearly a hundred people behind him, wearing weapons and cloth clothes, rushed towards the pirates, shouting loudly, and they were all full of energy, and they were all very Jianjiazi.

Their shouts immediately made a lot of lights lit up in the village.

The pirate leader gritted his teeth in hatred, but he didn't have the courage to fight with them, and just shouted, "Let's go!"

In fact, it doesn’t take him to say that the name “Siolin Castle…” alone has already scared many pirates.

Xiulin Castle is indeed the best in the world in Leizhou Prefecture.

Seeing the pirates fleeing in panic, the young man led by Xiulin Castle sneered, chased after him and stabbed a pirate in a cold heart, shouting loudly: "Don't let these thieves go! Kill!"

The people he brought were all very skilled in martial arts. When he chased the generals, he actually killed the pirates under his command like chopping melons and vegetables.

There are also Jian Jiazi among the pirates, but in front of them, they can't resist a few moves. Occasionally, some of them are slightly powerful, and they are also besieged and killed.

They can't kill even if they kill, and they can't win if they run away. They screamed in pain, and they were all over the sky.

When the villagers in the village heard the noise, they soon ran out. Men, women, young, old, weak, women and children all held kitchen knives, hoes and other things. Although they looked a little scared on their faces, they were filled with indignation.

The villages along the coast of Leizhou Prefecture are often attacked by pirates, which has long made them hate these pirates.

But before they rushed forward, they heard the young man from Xiulin Castle shouting: "The fight is dangerous, don't come here."

While speaking, he also used his long sword to cut the throats of the two pirates one after another.

The pirate leader was furious as he watched his brothers being killed one after another, and could no longer bear it. He gritted his teeth and ran back with a steel fork, "Brothers, fight with them!"

The young man sneered, kicked two pirates blocking the way, and greeted the pirate leader.

Judging from his expression, he clearly did not take these pirates seriously.

The pirate leader was already very angry with him. He rushed forward and stabbed the young man head-on.

The young man hid sideways and chuckled, "Your little skill is really a pity to die."

In fact, the pirate leader's skill is naturally not weak. The steel fork is very powerful and has a lot of rules, but it is nothing in front of young people.

The young man's swordsmanship is agile and elegant, but his murderous intent is hidden.

He used his long sword to hold the pirate head and head forks, and then passed through the gap of the steel fork sharp blade, piercing the pirate head's throat.

"Um..."

The pirate's mouth was bleeding, his eyes were wide open, and he wanted to scold him again, but he couldn't speak at all.

His body fell to the ground in dejection.

"The leader is dead! The leader is dead!"

"Run!"

The pirates were shocked and fled in an instant.

The young man led his men to chase him all the way, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

After a while, they came back. The villagers in the village were still standing at the entrance of the village and not coming out, and their palms were already sweating.

In their opinion, such a fight is naturally too dangerous and scary.

The young man came back with his people and bowed: "My villagers, we are the righteous men of Xiulin Castle. Most of the pirates have been killed. We still need to rush back to report to the lord. Please ask you for the corpses of these pirates."

The most prestigious person in the village was an old man. He hurried out and bowed, "Thank you for helping me save the village."

The young man smiled and said, "You are kind to you, elder, killing pirates is the duty of our people in the world."

After saying that, he didn't say much, waved his hand and hurried away with the people.

When they left, the elderly Li Zheng turned around and said to the villagers: "Everyone is working hard today and pile up the bodies of these pirates. Tomorrow morning, our whole village will go to the county government to ask for the righteous men in Xiulin Castle so that the court can also know their merits."

The villagers were constantly saying good things about Xiulin Castle.

Those who were in their prime rushed out of the village to clean up the pirate corpses. Fearing that there were still some people who died, they also hoeed the corpses lying on the ground.

In the prefecture, Zhao Dongting, Su Quandang and others discussed it until late at night before they dispersed.

However, pirates have always been stubborn in Leizhou, and they did not discuss any sure-fire plan in a short period of time.

The next morning, Zhao Dongting asked Mu Kangxun how the matter was handled by those detained nobles and gentry.

Mu Kangxun was sweating again on his forehead. He still felt scared when he remembered the incidents he apologized for those things yesterday. He thought that he was the governor of Leizhou, and the same was true for those noble families when they were at their peak. But when he went back to let those nobles go yesterday, he almost knelt down to them and called them grandpa.

Those nobles have already become domineering in this remote place in Leizhou.

Fortunately, he finally fulfilled his mission.

After brushing his sleeves and gently wiped away the sweat from his forehead, Mu Kangxun bowed and replied, "Report to the emperor, I am fortunate to be unfair to my destiny. Those nobles have all gone home yesterday."

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting was only a little relieved.

What he was worried about was that the nobles were unwilling to let go. In this way, even if the tax reduction and exemption policies were issued, they might not be able to cooperate, and there would inevitably be troubles.

Later, Lu Xiufu reported that he had carefully discussed the tax reduction and exemption policy with Xiang Dongyang and the ministers of the State Council.

Zhao Dongting asked them to submit the draft. After reading it carefully, he did not feel any omissions. He was even more happy. He immediately announced that all departments and departments should immediately write the draft and then issue it.
