Ao Jun and his brother Ao Yong were spending the last day of the New Year in their new manor, drinking and making merry, needless to say, they were very happy.
The Ao Family's new manor was about three kilometers away from the regiment headquarters where Ao Yong was stationed at Liangjia Chong.
Ao Yong returned home for the New Year, bringing only a platoon of personal guards, 19 people in total.
The Ao Family Manor had 16 manor soldiers, with lookout towers at the four corners, each with two men manning machine guns on night duty, rotating day and night.
This kind of defensive force was the standard setup for a Warlord's small manor. In a small place like Liangjia Chong, it was considered very strong, and it was certainly effective at intimidating ordinary folks!
With guns in hand and absolute local power, the most effective thing they could do was indeed: intimidate the ordinary villagers.
