Chapter 8: The Lord

It is the most basic organization of the Li people. It is divided into large and small mountains, and the large mountains can include several small mountains, and the small mountains are generally composed of several villages.

There is a boundary, and crossing the boundary for no reason will cause disputes, and even cause fights.

There are rules in the mountain, and the people in the mountain must follow the rules, otherwise they will be cruelly punished.

Each mountain has its leader, called the lord of the mountain or the head of Dong, the lord of the mountain is the master of a mountain, the proverb of the Li nationality, a big pond, there must be a big fish, this big fish refers to the lord of the mountain.

Generally speaking, the lord is relatively tolerant of the people in the mountain, and is more fierce to the outsiders.

In order to control the Li people, the imperial court is a big encirclement of the lord of the mountain, the official of the official, the lord of the knight, and the goal of controlling the Li people by controlling the lord of the mountain.

Wang Kunrui is the lord of Mao Daotong, who was enshrined as a zhizhai by the imperial court, and the fishing village where Fu Gui, Li Sanjian and others live is its jurisdiction, Fu Gui and others can ignore the holy decree of the imperial court or the orders of the government, but they dare not disobey Wang Kunrui's orders.

Therefore, when Wang Kunrui arrived, all the people in the fishing village greeted him out of the gate.

"The little ones meet the leader." Fu Gui and the others greeted the doorway.

"Hehe" Wang Kunrui said with a smile after walking into the bamboo building: "I heard that Daddy Fu has a good harvest this time, why don't you invite me to drink a bowl of rice wine?" ”

Wang Kunrui looks like he is in his thirties, his body is extremely thick, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the beard under his chin is like a clump of steel needles.

"What did the head man say?" Hearing this, Fu Gui hurriedly replied: "The head man is a god in the sky, how dare the little ones alarm the master?" However, the little ones who are filial to the master have already been prepared, and they will be sent to the master later. ”

"Dad, where is the third brother?" At this time, Wang Wen, who came with her father, hid behind Wang Kunrui and asked.

Since Wang Wen and Li Sanjian met a few days ago, they have come to Li Sanjian to play almost every day, pestering Li Sanjian to paint and tell stories every day, especially the stories told by Li Sanjian are very novel, Wang Wen has never heard of them at all, which makes Xiao Nizi "care" about Li Sanjian every day, and the two are becoming more and more familiar. This time Wang Kunrui came to the fishing village, Wang Wen pestered Wang Kunrui and had to come together.

In fact, Li Sanjian had already seen Wang Wen, but Li Sanjian was extremely unhappy at this time, so until Wang Wen ran over, he still didn't pay attention to her, which made Xiao Nizi wonder in her heart.

Fu Gui and others risked their lives to dive pearls, and in addition to being exploited by merchants and officials, they also had to hand over most of the proceeds to the lord of the mountain, which made Li Sanjian extremely angry in his heart.

Li Sanjian also understands in his heart that there are too many injustices in this world, and he can't change it at all, but he is still angry about it in his heart, he loves the house and Wu, and hates the house and Wu, of course, he is extremely disgusted with Wang Kunrui, and at the same time, he is angry with Wang Wen...

"Third brother... Third brother, why don't you pay attention to others? Wang Wen asked aggrievedly.

Wang Wen's little heart was extremely surprised, strange that Li Sanjian was talking and laughing with him a few days ago, but why did he look indifferent today?

"Hmph, the third brother is my elder brother, not yours." Fu Ling'er on the side snorted coldly.

"I... I... Wang Wen was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak.

Wang Kunrui also discovered Li Sanjian's abnormality, so he walked up to Li Sanjian and asked, "This is Li Sanjian who fights with businessmen?" Why do you seem to be upset with me? ”

"Master Chief." Fu Gui on the side hurriedly said: "Jian'er is still young and not very sensible, please don't worry about him." ”

Wang Kunrui nodded when he heard this: "It looks quite clever, well, it's not bad, Wen'er has been talking about you, but your body is too weak." ”

It's not a son-in-law, you don't care if I'm in good health? Li Sanjian secretly did not hesitate in his heart, but Li Sanjian did not show obvious disgust above him, but said lightly: "The head man praises falsely, and the kid is ashamed." ”

"It's crepe, not like the people of my clan." Wang Kunrui shook his head and said.

Lao Tzu was not a Li person, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart that his father was a Han person, although his mother was a Li person, but the ethnic group followed his father, so Li Sanjian was the son of a Han person, and he should be regarded as a Han person.

"I don't know why you're here, sir? Is there anything you want to tell the little ones? Fu Gui then asked.

In the humble land of the fishing village, a person of Wang Kunrui's status would not usually come, so Fu Gui had this question.

Wang Kunrui shook his head when he heard this: "I didn't have an order, you did a good job, you are very sensible, and today this master is here for him." ”

Wang Kunrui then pointed at Li Sanjian.

"Jian'er? What do you mean, sir? Fu Gui asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's him." Wang Kunrui nodded and said: "Today's master is here for him, my lord still lacks a bookkeeper in my village, just him, pack up and go back to the village with me." ”

"Master, Jian'er is still young, this is not appropriate, right?" Fu Gui said urgently.

If Li Sanjian follows Wang Kunrui back to the village, his status can be greatly improved, and from now on, Li Sanjian will be Wang Kunrui's minion, and he will be driven by Wang Kunrui like a mule and horse, and life and death will be in Wang Kunrui's hands.

"Master, let Jian'er go, he's the only one left by my side." Fu Erniang suddenly became anxious when she heard this, and regardless of her humble status, she opened her mouth to beg.

Wang Kunrui glanced at Fu Erniang, she looks pretty good, she is smart, but she is too old, otherwise it would be quite good to accept her as a concubine and take Li Sanjian as a righteous son.

"What do you want to do? Is it that my village is having a hard time? Let me tell you, when I arrived in the old man's village, I continued to drink and meat every day, and the days were good, would I still wronged him? Today you will have to obey and you will obey if you do not. Wang Kunrui then said arrogantly.

As the leader of a mountain, Wang Kunrui of course wants to do some business with Chen Yide and other Han merchants, before Wang Kunrui heard that Li Sanjian only settled accounts with Chen Yide and others, and forced Chen Yide and others to greatly increase the purchase price, which made Wang Kunrui extremely curious about Li Sanjian, and at the same time wanted to get Li Sanjian into the village to collect money for himself.

Wang Kunrui's words immediately angered the two brothers, Fu Mo and Fu Scale, and the two shook the handle of the pearl diving knife in their hands and glared at Wang Kunrui angrily.

Even if there are many of them, even if Wang Kunrui is powerful, if Wang Kunrui wants to forcibly take Li Sanjian away, Fu Mo and Fu Scale will have to fight with him.

Wang Kunrui's mouthful and domineering appearance had already angered Li Sanjian, Li Sanjian's thin chest rose and fell, and he suddenly pointed his finger at the sky and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"God, what do you mean?" Wang Kunrui asked in surprise.

Li Sanjian smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "That's right, this is the sky, let me ask you where is this place?" ”

"Qiongtai Danzhou, what so much nonsense, can't you go? If you don't leave, you're violating the rules, boy, do you know how powerful Master Ben's family law is? Li Sanjian asked Wang Kunrui inexplicably, so he was a little impatient.

"Haha" Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "You want to condemn me? It's not that easy, this place is Qiongtai Danzhou, yes, it is Danzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, not the private territory of your head master. You and I are both the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you and I are both bound by the Song Law, is your family law bigger than the Song Law? What am I guilty of? If you let me go with you, I won't go with you without telling me why. ”

No matter what, Li Sanjian still knows the most basic legal knowledge, but Li Sanjian doesn't know that Song Law is called Song Xingtong, so he can only use Song Law to replace it vaguely, if the old man is still there, Li Sanjian will be much easier, and Wang Kunrui will not dare to be so arrogant.

The identity of the old man must be extraordinary, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"That is, what kind of royal law did Jian'er violate, you have to take him away."

"If you don't speak out today, no one will take him away."

Fu Mo, Fu Liang and others said angrily.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Seeing this, Wang Kunrui shouted loudly, his voice was very loud, and he immediately covered the voices of Fu Mo, Fu Liang and others.

"Boy, you're right." Wang Kunrui appreciates Li Sanjian more and more, and he is really good at speaking, but on his own territory, no matter how fickle he is, it is useless: "But this is the territory of this master, let me tell you, even if the emperor's holy decree is here, if this master is in a bad mood, you can not serve their bullshit will, this master kindly asked you to be my accounting man, you don't appreciate it, then it's no wonder that this master, come on, take him away." ”

When Wang Kunrui's soldiers heard this, they responded in unison, and they pounced together, wanting to forcibly take Li Sanjian away.

Fu Gong and Fu Scale also led people to block Wang Kunrui's family soldiers, and the two sides were tense and full of gunpowder, but because of the situation, they were alone, and if they really fought, Fu Yuan, Fu Scale and others would definitely suffer.

"Wait." Li Sanjian saw that the matter was urgent, so he shouted.

"Boy, I think you toast and don't eat and drink, and now you regret it? It's late. Wang Kunrui said proudly when he heard this.

At this time, Li Sanjian had to admit it, and if he didn't admit it, Li Sanjian might have to go to Wang Kunrui's black prison all over the door.

"I... I don't know kanji. Li Sanjian then slurred and said completely embarrassed.

"Hahahaha" The surrounding crowd was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then burst into laughter.

"What? Can't read Chinese characters? Wang Kunrui was stunned when he heard this, he was busy for a long time, it turned out to be a busy job, a bookkeeper who doesn't know Chinese characters, saying it will make people laugh off his big teeth, and Wang Kunrui mainly deals with Han businessmen, doesn't know Chinese characters, how can he do business?

"Daddy, the third brother, he really doesn't know how to read, he can only draw." At this time, Wang Wen said in a low voice.

"Phew, didn't you say it earlier?" Wang Kunrui glared at Li Sanjian fiercely and said: "For Wen'er's sake today, spare you this time, and the next time you commit it in the hands of this master, you will definitely be worse off than dead." ”

After Wang Kunrui dropped these words, he took his men and left.

Before Wang Wen left, she glanced at Li Sanjian, with obvious apology in her beautiful eyes.

。。。。。。。。

"Jian'er, you better run away with your mother, and I'll send a boat to send you out tomorrow." Fu Gui said.

"Why am I running? Grandpa, don't worry, I have my own way. Li Sanjian replied.

Li Sanjian understood what Fu Gui meant, and if he offended the lord of the mountain, it would be extremely dangerous on this island.
