Chapter 268 – Out of Control

Chapter 268 Out of Control
But upon arriving at Faber Village, the development of events exceeded Kevin’s expectations.

One thing he guessed correctly, the landlord Baden was not ready for his next move, Kevin led the villagers to surround the Baden’s mansion and demanded Baden to come out and negotiate in person.

Faber village residents have not seen this kind of battle, dare to surround the Baden family home must be which way strong man put, one by one scared to hide in their own homes.

Baden’s door is closed, inside or raise a lot of servants and fighters, they hold weapons and sticks and hoes can be used as weapons and other household goods, mounted the wall to protect the residential yard – Baden family as the largest landowner in this place, and do a lot of heartbreak, because of their own safety has always been very concerned about the residential mansion built with small fortresses like, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall. Like a small fortress, the walls are able to stand people.

Kevin led the villagers outside the wall shouted half a day, their target – the landlord Baden still did not show up, but his steward, a fat head, waist circumference and his master compared to the guy is not much, slowly ascending the wall.

The butler said arrogantly, “You don’t pay your taxes honestly, you injured Lord Baden’s men, and you even have the nerve to come to the village of Faber to sow your wild oats!”

Kevin and the others were enraged by his attitude and roared, “Let Baden come out and talk to us in person.”

The steward said disdainfully, “How dare you, Master Baden is also someone you bunch of pariahs want to see? I advise you all, don’t have any delusions, go home and prepare your taxes and hand them over honestly, and Master Baden might be kind enough to pardon you for resisting the tax.”

Kevin said in a loud voice, “Hmph! Your crime of setting up a private war tax has been discovered by us!”

“Ridiculous! Master Baden is also following the orders of the lord’s house!”

“Then show us the lord’s decree!”

“Nonsense! Is the Lord’s decree something you can read?”

“It’s a fake if you can’t produce the decree. We should have gone to denounce you, but if we can lower the poll tax on our terms, we can refrain from going to the lord’s house to denounce you.”

The steward was a bit incredulous after hearing Kevin and the others’ request, then with an extremely exaggerated expression, put his hands on his ears and said, “What? Speak up, I can’t hear you!”

“Stop pretending to be confused and hurry up and let Baden come out on his own! Otherwise we’ll really go to Lakewood and turn him in.”

“Hahahahaha! You guys really contracted me a day of laughter, district a bunch of pariahs …… hahahahahaha!”

The butler burst out laughing, but his mouthful of [pariahs] enraged the crowd outside the wall.

“Ouch!” A wailing sound rang out, and the butler’s forehead was bloodied by a rock.

Soon the anger replaced the smile that filled his face just now, and the butler pointed at the crowd and cursed, “You …… you’ve got a lot of guts!”

“Beat this dog’s leg to death!”

The angry crowd threw more and more stones.

The butler panicked and ordered behind him, “Quickly! Quickly disperse this bunch of pariahs!”

A group of men quickly emerged from the wall, also armed with throwing ropes, and hurled stones as hard as they could into the crowd.

The villagers didn’t realize that there were still people equipped with stone throwing ropes inside, and a whole bunch of people were hit by the attack, and their heads were broken and bloodied.

They stood very densely outside the wall, the stone throwing rope did not need any accuracy, some people who were hit in the head and other vital parts fell to the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The crowd became chaotic all of a sudden, and the chaos was followed by a collective rage.

“Kill these scoundrels!”

They threw everything they could pick up at the wall.

The stone battle went on for some time, with people getting hit intermittently on both sides.

The anger of the people outside the wall built up, and I don’t know who yelled out, “Kill the bastards! Let’s rush in and take that Baden out!”

Without anyone noticing, some unknown person got two ladders from somewhere unknown, in any case, they just appeared, then the ladders were instantly hitched to the wall, and the angry villagers climbed up the ladder to the wall, and scuffled with the guards of Baden’s house. Seeing that the situation was getting a bit out of hand, Kevin regained his composure and yelled to the people rushing up the wall, “Just subdue them, don’t get anyone killed!”

But his voice was drowned out in the clamor, and no one seemed to hear him or care to listen to him.

People shouted and screamed, there were constantly people climbing the ladder up the wall, the guards on the wall were quickly overwhelmed, seeing that they were at a disadvantage, most of the guards jumped off the wall and ran towards the mansion, those who couldn’t run away had to crouch down with their heads in their hands, but the angry people didn’t seem to want to let go of this group of lapdogs, and constantly greeted them with punches and kicks.

The people who crossed the courtyard wall opened the gate from the inside, and the people surrounding the outside rushed in with a whoop.

Kevin mounted the wall and it took a great deal of effort to stop those who were still retaliating against the guards with their fists and feet, but those who didn’t get away were already out of breath.

“Ugh!” He let out a long sigh, then stood on the wall and shouted an appeal to the villagers who kept charging into the courtyard to calm down a bit.

But it was useless, people rushed into the courtyard and slammed the doors of the various houses as hard as they could, pulling out the people inside and beating them indiscriminately, in the eyes of them who had lost their minds, the people in this mansion were all sinful.

The furious crowd soon searched the mansion inside and out, but could not find the shadow of Baden and the steward.

So they tied up the servants in the mansion and forced them to reveal Baden’s whereabouts, but no useful information came out.

During the search, an unexpected thing happened.

Someone found a room with several chests, and when the chests were opened, the golden light made people instantly fall into a daze.

Inside the chests were large amounts of silver and copper coins, how had the generations of poor people ever seen so much money?
After half a minute of collective stagnation, the first person who reacted rushed up and grabbed a large handful of money into his pocket, and then the second, third ……

But he was quickly pushed aside as the crowd behind him swarmed up and scrambled to be the first to pick up the money and stuff it into their pockets.

People searching in other places also heard the sound, a few boxes of money was quickly divided up, many people because of the robbery also fought.

When there was not a single penny left in the boxes, those who arrived later beat their chests and regretted that they had not found this place first.

But they soon found a way to make up for their regrets. Although the money had been looted, there were still a lot of things in the mansion that had been there before.

The next step was the official start of the chaos, people began to scavenge the mansion’s belongings, and when they saw something that seemed to be worth money, they put it into a bag.

The villagers of Faber soon realized what was going on after such a big commotion at the Baden family’s house.

It was a bolt from the blue: that untouchable Master Baden had been beaten away! A bunch of outsiders from the village had actually raided his house for his belongings!

After the shock, there was resentment: how could that gang of outsiders be taken advantage of?
No, we have our share of the Baden family’s belongings! This landowner has been squeezing us for years.

So the villagers of Faber Village also rushed into the mansion, and since they were intimidated by the audacity of the previous gang, they didn’t dare to claim the property that had already been divided, so they grabbed the rest of the things.

Furniture was moved and dismantled, and even the granite bricks, which they had never seen before, were knocked down one by one and taken away.

Those servants whom Baden had abandoned were out of luck; they were made to hand over the money they had on them.

Faber village is a large village, the Baden family has been living in this time for generations, there are several independent branches, as well as some other rich families in the village, also followed by suffering ……

Only Kevin stood dumbfounded at the gate in tears, he had previously envisioned that it was not like this ah!

When people lost their minds, he tried to stop his companions from messing around, but it didn’t do much good.

Even his own heart rose with a fiery impulse when he saw others taking large amounts of money, and it was hard to suppress the desire.

What to do next? Kevin panicked a little.
