Chapter Sixty-Five Downfall

  One more update

  "You guys are really something! I, Xiao, truly sympathize with you. Tell me, what kind of thing have you followed to do things? Is it worth it?" Xiao Tianjian loudly asked this group of people.

  These people all harbored a resentful mood, and together they glared fiercely at Wang Tiandong who had fallen to the ground. Some even spat on the ground before responding in unison to Xiao Tianjian in hushed tones: "Not worth it..."

  Xiao Tianjian, with a big smile on his face, sat down on a stool brought by one of his subordinates and patted his thigh, saying: "Ah! Not bad! You guys aren't too stupid after all! It seems there's still hope for you! Yesterday, you all saw how that Wang guy treated those injured or dead brothers, didn't you? And you also saw how I, Xiao Tianjian, treat my own brothers, right? Moreover, you've seen that my brothers are way more formidable than yours, haven't you? Today, I'll ask you one question: if I spare your lives, would you be willing to follow me?"

  Xiao Tianjian's subordinates were also listening, and the smarter ones immediately laughed. They thought that Xiao Tianjian was trying to win people over again! It seemed that these people would soon become their new brothers! This business of deceiving people's hearts, Xiao Tianjian was indeed doing it with ease! However, no one thought there was anything wrong with this, because in their eyes, Xiao Tianjian was truly the best! Following him, everyone felt at ease and also thought it was very promising!

  But Wang Tianglong's men, thinking about it, indeed that's what happened. Yesterday, Xiao Tianjian personally led the brothers to cover those tenants, and indeed several brothers were injured or killed. However, when they retreated, they brought back all the fallen brothers, burying the dead properly and treating the wounded properly. But Wang Tianglong abandoned his injured and dead men under the wall of the villa, ignoring them and leaving them to fend for themselves until they all died.

  This comparison makes it clear who is more suitable to follow. At least this Xiao Zheng is more generous to his subordinates than Wang Tiandong, let alone why they do this? Is it just for a living, not being starved to death by the world? Is it worth being loyal to that bastard? Moreover, following the surname Wang's bastard, their days are not going well either. When they go out to work, they have to rush to the front line, and most of them die or get injured, with no one taking care of them. As long as you're not stupid, you'll know what to do.

  Over a hundred people quickly knelt down together and shouted: "We are willing to follow Master Xiao from now on... Please, Master Xiao, accept us... Thank you..."

  Xiao Tianjian was annoyed by the noise of over a hundred people, but he patiently listened to their shouts and then smiled and nodded: "Very good! You are willing to follow me, which is very good! But I must say something unpleasant first. I, Xiao Tianjian, can treat you as my brothers, and I won't mistreat you! However, the premise is that if you follow me, you must follow my rules. My rules are many, and the first rule is obedience. What I say, you must do. My brothers need to undergo training, which is very hard work. The military stick is unavoidable, and everyone will have to endure it. But this is for your own good! Because you've also seen that my brothers are much more powerful than you! Why? It's because they were trained through the military stick! This is to protect your lives! We won't let our enemies slaughter you like before! If anyone is afraid of suffering, it's best to say so now, rather than waiting until later when it's too late!"

  In addition...

  Xiao Tianjian stood up and gave a long speech to these people, telling them the main rules he was following at the moment.

  These people were all tense, perked up their ears and listened to Xiao Tianjian's voice, afraid of missing a single word, lest they offend Xiao Tianjian's taboo and have their heads chopped off. After listening, some of them secretly cursed in their hearts, "How can this Xiao family head be so particular?" Following him is like being a monk, with so many rules and regulations, how can we have fun? However, there were also people who strongly approved of the rules set by Xiao Tianjian, it was only natural, otherwise, they wouldn't be so powerful. A few dozen people could defeat one or two hundred, with such small casualties, having rules is definitely much better than not having any!

  But anyway, none of these people dared to utter a word of dissent, and they all hastily nodded in agreement, saying "got it!"

  After dealing with these captives, Xiao Tianjian had them clean up the battlefield, clear away the corpses, gather the wounded and hand them over to Lü Langzhong for treatment. By doing so, he wanted to win over their hearts again, letting them see that Xiao Tianjian was indeed very benevolent and would not neglect those who were injured. And this move did have such an effect, moving a group of people who had just surrendered to him to tears, but it made Lü Langzhong busy to the point of exhaustion.

  Xiao Tianjian only walked to the front of the crowd of tenants who were still being watched at this time. Earlier, the two groups of people had a fierce fight, but these tenants did not dare to move, and only a few people took advantage of the situation to escape. The rest of them were afraid that if they moved, they would become ghosts under the knives of the rioting soldiers. They all huddled together, looking at the two groups of men fighting with fear in their eyes, afraid that someone would rush towards them.

  Now looking at Xiao Tianjian and his men finally achieving victory, and it was a case of the minority defeating the majority, they were even more afraid to make any rash moves, all nervously waiting for this Xiao surname stick head to deal with them.

  Xiao Tianjian glanced at the group of tenants, shook his head slightly, and sighed before speaking to them: "You don't have to be so afraid! I, Xiao, am not that son of a bitch, and I will treat you as human beings! You can rest assured on this point!"

  I know you hate us, the rods, but since I, Xiao, came here with my brothers, we haven't harmed you in the slightest! Moreover, to protect you and the like, I've even sacrificed a few of my brothers! This is something that anyone who isn't blind can see!

  We were all poor and had no choice but to do this line of work, to be honest, it's because the government and these rich people have forced us into a dead end, so we have to find a way out for ourselves! So I won't harm you ordinary folks!

  "As for who is harming you, I don't need to say it, you all know. That guy, I've already helped you catch him, now it's up to you to deal with him. Those who have grievances can avenge themselves! I, Xiao something, won't stop you! Come on, people! Bring that son of a bitch and his two underlings over here! Let these people handle it!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Tou led a few men to drag Wang Tianlong and his two subordinates in front of the tenants, just like dragging dead dogs. Wang Tianlong immediately understood how Xiao Tianjian was going to deal with him and knew that he would definitely die today. He struggled on the ground and started cursing loudly, scolding Xiao Tianjian for being unrighteous and saying that he would not have a good death in the future. The other two guys rolled on the ground, screaming and begging Xiao Tianjian to spare their lives, shouting that they were willing to follow him from now on and promising to be loyal to him.

  But Xiao Tianjian didn't want to accept these two things, because at present, these two people still have some residual prestige in their former department. If they harbor any ulterior motives, who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up in the future? Therefore, to eliminate future troubles, these two people must also die, or else he wouldn't be able to control his sympathetic heart. So, regarding these two people's pleas for mercy, he completely ignored them.

  As for Xiao Tianjian's decision, these tenants were all stunned, they didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to treat them like this and hand over their enemies to them to deal with. One by one, they were extremely grateful to Xiao Tianjian, stood up, and stared fiercely at the three guys lying on the ground, their eyes almost spitting fire!

  They really hated the guy with the surname Wang, from the moment he brought his men here, they killed many of their tenants, then forced them to fill the moat, without caring about their lives or deaths, looted all their belongings, slaughtered all their pigs and sheep, and even harmed their women, it can be said that they have done all the bad things to them!

  Almost every household here has casualties, and these grievances can only be blamed on this Wang guy. So when Xiao Tianjian handed over Wang Tiandong and his two subordinates to them for disposal, a fierce anger ignited in the hearts of each tenant.

  People gradually began to push towards these three people, and their fists were also clenched.

  "Get back! Scram! All of you scram! Don't come over! You, Xiao! I'll haunt you from the afterlife if I don't let you off! Ah... stop hitting... spare my life..." Wang Tianglong and his two henchmen were sprawled on the ground, struggling and cursing.

  Finally, a brave tenant rushed forward and kicked the three men with his feet. As soon as someone took action, the rest of the people couldn't help but follow suit. Regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, anyone who could move surrounded them in an instant, drowning Wang Tianlong and the other two in the crowd. Some people kicked fiercely with their feet, while others punched hard with their fists. Some women whose husbands had died were enraged to the extreme, pouncing on them and even biting with their teeth. Others picked up clods of earth and stones to throw at them. In short, they used everything available to vent their hatred against the three men.

  Wang Tiandong and the other three people let out a mournful howl like beasts, which was as tragic as it could be. Even Xiao Tianjian felt his scalp numb, not to mention Wang Tiandong's former subordinates, who were all silent and pale with fear, each thinking that this new leader was ruthless and had come up with such a cruel way to deal with people. This was even more terrifying than being killed by a single sword or tortured by a thousand cuts! It seemed that no one dared to offend this leader!

  Wang Tiandong and the other two people wailed in the crowd for a long time, their voices gradually subsiding, and after another period of time, the three people completely fell silent.

  But even so, those furious tenants still refused to stop, and continued to vent their anger on the three corpses in a frantic manner.

  It wasn't until Xiao Tianjian shouted at them to stop that they gradually regained their senses, and one after another, they quickly knelt down again, kowtowing repeatedly, thanking Xiao Tianjian for avenging them!

  After the crowd dispersed, looking at Wang Tianlong and his two companions, they were really beaten to a pulp by the tenants, each one like a heap of rotten meat, I'm afraid even their mothers would not recognize them if they came here.
