”Did you find any trace of strangers? Colonel Luxor asked us to come on a tour... ” The cavalryman asked arrogantly as he sat on the horse.
The timid farmer quickly put down his bowl of porridge and respectfully bowed to the cavalry. ”Respected lord, there are no abnormal people here. Until this morning, only the few villagers from the neighboring village went into the mountains to chop firewood. There are no suspicious people left …”
The farmers knew that since they were all soldiers, those that could ride would definitely be of higher status than those who could ride barefooted. If they called out 'Master', they would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
However, the squire yawning at the entrance of the village was very cunning. He often went to the nearby small city to shop and play. Basically, everyone recognized him.
”Colonel Luxor? Where did this guy come from, sir, I've never heard of him... ”What is the name of your unit?”
Before he could finish, he saw a black shadow fly over like lightning and wrap around the squire's neck. It turned out to be a rope for carrying horses. The soldier dragged the squire to the ground.
”Hurry up!”
With the order given, the nameless soldier behind the officer suddenly pulled out the pistol at his waist, pointed it at the farmers, and growled, ”All of you kneel down, don't make any sound. Kneel down right now …”
The soldier on horseback went up and kicked the farmer in front to the ground, at the same time, the large group of people led by Blanqui also rushed out from the corner.
A farmer was a farmer. In the end, no one dared to shout. Even the horn used to call the police did not dare to be touched.
The bright bayonet surrounded more than ten farmers kneeling in the mud. The squire had already been tied up. The leading officer went up and first gave more than ten big slaps.
With his face swollen, he asked, ”How many more posts are there?” ”Is there any other way to quickly pass the Severing Mountains?”
The squire who had been beaten senseless had never seen such an extremely vicious villain. He only felt his crotch heat up and a coquettish stench spread out.
”Master, please do me a favor. Don't kill me …” ”There are four outposts at the back of the road. The three in front are about the same size as mine, and the last one has more people. I'm afraid there will be some soldiers that will stop them …”
”If you want to quickly pass through the Severing Mountains, you can only choose this path. All the other paths take long detours and are extremely dangerous …”
Like beans being poured, the squire gave all the information he knew.
It was only now that Blanqui finally understood who the true master of the France was. He simply wasn't the emperor, and it was even more so impossible for him to be a commune.
Although the feudal lord's influence had been destroyed, many of those people had turned into capitalists. They began to use money to control the farmers in their territory.
Although French Revolution crushed the feudal lords and landowner class, the oppression would always continue in a different way. They could not live off of rents, so they could only live off of loans.
Peasants who own land but have no means of production, under the exploitation of the loan sharks, are not living as they used to.
In order to survive, they could only obediently listen to the commands of the powerful figures in their eyes. As long as the bounty was in place, these farmers would dare to kill people!
The reward of Blanqui's life was already more than a hundred thousand Gold franc, the other followers' lives were worth a thousand Gold franc, of course this money could only be received by the big figures in the various villages.
These peasants, like the gentry, would have to pay hundreds of francs to kill someone!
There was no helping it, farmers were farmers for generations, they could not get an education, so they could not change their fate. Their economy was completely controlled by others, they were just a bunch of stupid slaves!
