In a square, several rural noble ladies and a local lord were having their hands tied and forced to kneel on the ground.

The ladies were so frightened that they burst into tears.

The lord was more knowledgeable. He was full of anger and shouted at the poor people around him: "How dare you rebel?! When the empire's suppressive army comes, you will all die. Whoever catches the rebel first?"

If bygones are bygones, I can reward him with a hundred acres of land!"

These words seemed familiar, as if someone had said similar words once in hell.

The surrounding poor people surrounded them, looking at each other, not daring to make any move. They were indeed afraid that the army would come and kill them all, but they wanted them to hand over the leader of the rebels who had been helping them... These people also

Can't do it.

Some people even looked greedy when they heard about a hundred acres of land. This is not a small amount of money. If they can really get it... handing over the boss for this in their future life does not seem so unacceptable.

?

But just when the poor were entangled and confused, a man wearing a ceremonial robe came over.

The people who had gathered around made way for one after another. Everyone temporarily put aside their doubts and looked respectfully at the man in ceremonial robes in front of them. He was the original "rebel" in this place.

"Brothers, are you afraid?" The rebel didn't even look at his lord, but turned to the poor people, opened his arms, and asked solemnly.

No one responded because everyone was too scared to speak out.

"You are afraid, why?" The so-called rebel then asked and answered himself: "Because of fear of death, because of authority, and because of deep-rooted ideas."

"But think about it, why should we be afraid of them? What can we gain by resisting them? What can we lose?"

"Look at that manor, it should be yours, look at those fertile fields, it's yours too! You work on it every day, but 80% of what you produce is used by the lord! What's more, the world

You have been slaves for generations and have never owned any private property. The only thing that will accompany you the longest is the shackles, which are not in your hands but in your heart!"

"We must resist! The reins on our necks by the big shots and nobles are getting tighter and tighter! They indulge in extravagance every day, leaving us to eat food that even dogs can't eat! They snatch our beautiful daughters and work as maids

and concubines, and drove them back when they were old and lustful. These people are so pretentious that they think all this is natural! Right?!" the leading rebel shouted!

Some people immediately responded: "No!"

The crowd has a herd mentality. When the first person yelled that something was wrong, the others looked at each other. Slowly, they also raised their hands and whispered timidly: "No...it's not right."

"We resisted them, and what we got was everything we should have had! What we lost were only shackles! Why didn't we resist? Why did we let others slaughter us!?"

"Today, we will give these merciless nobles a long-overdue trial! Who comes up first?!" The leading rebel pointed at the tied noble family with a stern expression!

"You want to try me! Where is the evidence? Where is the judge! Where is my crime?! If you want to try me with nothing, then you are just a group of mobs under the banner of resistance. Without justice, the organization will be eclipsed.

, your team will surely fall apart, you may be able to kill me today, but my blood will be splashed on your flag! Everyone will know that your behavior is unfair!" The lord shouted immediately!

He is indeed a knowledgeable person. At this time, he also knows how to raise the banner, point out the opponent's weaknesses, and attack the opponent's heart.

This kind of rebel organization has only two things to maintain its collective will, one is interests and the other is belief. Without these two, it is a mess and no threat.

The benefits are easy to talk about. As long as you resist, you can get money, share the land, and support your own women and children. With such benefits, coupled with the recently accumulated trust, you will definitely be able to easily build a team.

But if the relationship is only maintained by interests, then the two parties will not be able to build a trusting relationship. When one party loses its use value, the relationship will completely collapse, that is, internal divisions and internal struggles will occur. In this way, the rebellion will naturally collapse

.

Therefore, one must have "faith". Only faith can eliminate internal struggles and tightly unite the people.

Faith is actually something that one is willing to devote one's life to. For the church, faith is the God they believe in. They firmly believe that God will bring happiness and can bring them heaven after death.

That's why this noble had such an idea, because he knew that this rebel army did not believe in God.

This secretive extremist organization, according to the report issued by the royal spy to various nobles, states that what they believe in is "the future."

A bright and equal future, where everyone has food to eat, clothing to wear, no oppression, and everyone can reap the fruits of their own labor.

They believe that the beautiful society described by these ideals is worth pursuing. It is this belief that can give people a special meaning and a spirit that makes people worthy of fighting for this ideal!

The first thing that this future must demonstrate is fairness and justice. If these things do not even exist, then this future will be just a castle in the air, just talk on paper.

Therefore, this kind of fairness and justice must also exist for enemies.

In other words, the nobles who are now tied can still enjoy this kind of fairness. If the lord is killed for no reason at this time, then the "faith" established by the organization to make these people resist will no longer exist, and the people will

You will know that organizations actually kill people for profit, and there is no essential difference from them.

In this way, just as the lord said, the flag is no longer pure when it is stained with blood, and a team without purity will definitely disintegrate itself.

This nobleman shouted these words just for this reason, so that he might be treated like a prisoner and someone would come to rescue him.

The family will come to save themselves!

However, the person who responded to him was——

"No, we have witnesses." The leading rebel shook his head and pointed to the people below: "Each of them is a witness, and their suffering is all evidence!"

"And those are also evidence!" The leading rebel pointed to a box next to him. He pushed the box to the ground. It was full of parchment.

"These are your land rent certificates, bonds, slave deeds, and tax arrears certificates. Tell me, how do these hungry people owe five gold coins in taxes? This slave deed, it says

That girl, she can’t write at all, here is the voluntary signature column, who signed this name for her!” the leading rebel shouted sternly!

His fingertips lit up fire and burned these things!

The blazing flames illuminated his face, which was bright red, like a messenger from hell!

The poor people were in an uproar and didn't dare to look at him, so they stared at these parchments that usually made them have to work as slaves and work hard, but more and more parchments were turned into ashes in the fire.

"We have the evidence, who of you will accuse us?" The leading rebel looked at the whispering people: "Tell the truth how you were tortured by them, judge the crime, and we will try these people again!"

However, the people below were just commotion. No one came up. Everyone shrank in fear. The inertia of being bullied still remained in their hearts. No one dared to come forward and scold their "master".

Deep-rooted concepts prevent them from being arrogant to the nobles who used to be instigated by Yiqi, even if the other party's whole family is now tied together and unable to resist.

The leader of the rebels is waiting. He is not prepared to kill now, because Rui Guo's only revenge will pollute the purity of their beliefs.

After a while, the civilians did not have the courage, even though they all saw that the noble guards were all killed, and the whole family was tied up and knelt in front of everyone.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a group of soldiers walked out of the village. They were wearing simple armors, holding ordinary weapons, and were covered in wounds. They protected a young man who walked into the village.

The young man was trembling. He had just passed away from life and death. If those soldiers hadn't passed by, he would have died long ago.

"We rescued a child outside. He was caught and interrogated by the troops who came to the rescue. He was so frightened that he could not speak and was hung up. But fortunately we found him and the rescue troops had already been killed by us.

All wiped out." said the leading soldier.

"This damn gang actually killed innocent people!" a soldier said angrily.

"These oppressors have always been like this, brothers, come and have a drink of water." The rebel who was still waiting for the villagers to recover came up to him, picked up the young man, and then ran to the house to get some water.

"Thank you." The soldiers thanked them one after another. At the same time, they also noticed the situation around them. The cowering villagers understood what they were doing now.

Because at this moment, something like this is happening in more than one place.

A soldier knelt down and whispered a few words to the young man.

The leading rebel continued to move forward, and the lord shouted loudly: "What I just said still stands! You choose the right side now, and I will do what I say for the hundred acres of land! Your name is Logan, right? I remember

You, your father works as an errand in my house! You have to think clearly about one hundred acres of land!"

When he was saying this, the young man just walked up and punched the lord on the head, making him hold back what he said.

The young man then yelled: "You robbed my family's land, and you still dare to say this!?"

"Little brat, how dare you hit me!" the lord was angry.

However, the young man ignored him and began to complain with blood and tears, how his family's land was occupied... it was bought at a cheap price, his parents were forced to work, and he was sent to the next town to work as a carpenter apprentice to work hard to pay off the debt, and the debt was not yet known.

It came out of nowhere.

These things are familiar to everyone present.

In fact, they all had similar stories, and the culprit was that lord.

"Forgery of bonds, thirty whips!" The leading rebel read out the laws of the empire, and then immediately executed them. The whip struck the lord's body so hard that he was beaten to death, and he could no longer muster the strength to refute.

Those noble ladies were so frightened that their noses were filled with tears. They had never seen such a scene before, and they kept begging for mercy.

The nobles who used to be unattainable are now like this. Everyone saw this scene, so - the fear was suppressed, the anger was aroused, and some of the bolder ones said: "I want to accuse too! My

The house was demolished by him because it was too close to the manor!"

"Forcibly demolish the houses, whip ten times! Fine ten gold coins! To compensate!" Ten gold coins were taken away from the lord's wealth and returned to the commoner.

So, the scene became heated.

Their interests and beliefs are all present. They are not ordinary mobs. They are just enforcing laws that have not been enforced before, and the people who lead them are the organization in front of them.

"I have a situation!"

"I have it too!"

Floating wealth and coins are used to compensate, the punishment is being received, and no one cares whether to ask for mercy or not.

"The total number of charges is one hundred and fifty-one. Several crimes shall be punished concurrently. According to the law, the death penalty shall be imposed!" The blade was cut off, and the ladies who had sneered in the past could no longer make a sound. The knowledgeable lord would not open his mouth again.

Quibble, because his head is spinning on the ground.

The lord's youngest daughter cried so hard that her voice became hoarse, but the whip was used many times. She was whipped to death before she could be executed, but the execution did not stop, and her body was still decapitated after the sentence was pronounced.

Finally, the headless body in a pool of blood was placed on the same spot.
