Li Cheng scolded on the side: "Idiot, hold her." ”

Li Fu realized that he hurriedly took another step forward and dragged Xiuniang tightly.

"Xiuniang," Li Cheng took two steps forward, his face was hideous, and said: "I can't help you in this matter, I, Li Cheng, am not a person who has no score, your man has already written a deed and sold you to us." ”

"I am a wife, not a concubine." Xiuniang hurriedly said: "Why did he sell me?" ”

"Hugh book plus deed book, your father also pressed his handprint, is it enough?" Li Cheng waved his hand and said to Li Fu: "Hurry up and pull her into the sedan chair!" ”

At this time, Li Cheng has no heart to entangle, although he did not complete the goal, but it is just as effective to release the wind afterwards to hurt Xu Zixian's face.

At this time, Xiuniang suddenly broke free from Li Fu's coercion, pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair with her free hand, and put it between her neck, her beautiful face was full of determination, and with a flick of her wrist, she was about to stab it hard.

If the silver hairpin is pierced, it will definitely cut the artery, and the gods will be difficult to save, even Xu Zixian didn't expect that this little lady who has been washing clothes for herself and blushing when she meets her, actually has such a strong temper.

"Stop." Xu Zi first shouted, then looked at Xiuniang's eyes, and said with a very sincere attitude: "If you believe me, you will have the right and endure for a few days, and I will definitely find a way to solve this matter." ”

Xiuniang didn't dare to put down the silver hairpin, she wanted to stab her neck, and the people next to her avoided it, this feeling of being forcibly grabbed and controlled and regained freedom was too precious, she didn't dare to let it go, and she didn't want to imagine the ending after being controlled again...... Li Cheng and his son are well-known and lustful people in each village, and the father and son have forcibly married the daughters of many village Hakka families as concubines, and they will be sold again in three months to half a year at most, and sold directly to brothels in Fuzhou City.

If you end up with such a result, it is better to die now, a girl of this age encounters this kind of thing, if she can choose, she would rather die.

Xu Zixian could feel this woman's determination, marrying Li Fu as a concubine under such circumstances was naturally unacceptable, and this determination to seek death should not be false at all.

Seeing this woman desperately seeking death in front of her eyes, the hairpin has already been pierced into the neck in a small half, and the blood is flowing on the snow-white pink neck, which looks shocking, making Xu Zixian feel the most unforgettable shock since his rebirth!

"Li Tiguan, if you force people to die in the Hou Mansion Courtyard, even if you have a deed, you can't get out of it." Li Yi stepped forward at the right time and said with a majestic face: "Send this girl back to her family first, and her father will persuade her to be angry, and then you will take the person away, how about it?" ”

Li Cheng was helpless, knowing that if he forced Xiuniang today, most of them would have to kill him, but if something like this happened in the Hou Mansion, Li Yi took this matter to his head and reported it to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion or the Fuzhou Assassin History, he would most likely be in trouble, and it was not worth it to fold favors or silver in this matter.

At that moment, Li Cheng nodded and said to Xiuniang: "You girl doesn't know anything, can you lack food and clothing when you come to me?" Can my son do you badly? I will pay the debts of your husband on your behalf, and when you come home, let your father be in charge of you. ”

Xiuniang didn't care about him, but since Li Cheng said in public that he was going to send her home, this little lady's mind of seeking death on the spot finally faded, and her hand was loosened.

Xu Zi stepped forward first, took off the silver hairpin, put it in his hand, looked at Xiuniang, and said slowly: "You go home, I will send someone to go with you, rest assured." ”

Xu Zixian said again: "Believe me, don't seek death again." ”

Xiuniang nodded tearfully, she served Xu Zixian just to do chores in the inner courtyard, Xu Zixian didn't taste what to do to her, the world is different from the legendary image, hard and self-disciplined, good temper and not put on a show, the smile is gentle and kind, Xiu Niang didn't dare to think too much, but at this time, the only thing she can trust is the son in front of her.

Li Cheng looked at the situation in front of him from the side, and his heart was already condensed.

Shizi has always been hot-tempered, and there is no city government, and today's performance is really quite surprising. It seems that the recent perception is accurate, after the injury of the prince, his temperament has changed greatly, he has studied hard and practiced arrows, and his personality has changed after tempering, and he is no longer the former Wuxia Ameng.

But Li Cheng has no way to retreat, today's matter, Li Cheng knows that he has done a little too much, the situation in the official village is complicated, Li Cheng has been in business for 20 years and has controlled the Houfu Guanzhuang, if the prince is appointed by Li Yi and the Guanzhuang is rectified, Li Cheng not only has no place to stand, I am afraid that there will be a prison sentence, and even his life will not be guaranteed.

"The prince laughed," Li Cheng lowered his head and said quite respectfully: "I disturbed the prince in the next family matter, this is a must be accompanied......"

"No need." Xu Zixian said: "You can't take people away, I want to send someone to send Xiuniang to her mother's house." Next, your father and son are waiting for news at home, and I am here to take charge, so you don't have to worry about it. If you are guilty of unscrupulous, rebellious and rebellious, I will use you very much here. ”

Xu Zi first beat down one stick after another, and then sent Jin Baoyi and Wu Weisan and others to escort Xiuniang out of the house, for Li Cheng, Xiuniang came out first is victory, he has the deed in hand, thinking about it is a good thing for the prince to drive him out, it is a big news to sue the master as a servant, as long as it is a big trouble, the face of the prince will be lost.

"The old slave is innocent, he is really guilty, and he can't do it anymore." Li Cheng bowed down to plead guilty, but his face was full of sneers, and when he raised his eyes again, Xu Zixian had already turned around and entered the second door.

All the spectators felt that something was wrong, Li Cheng happily called his son to invite someone, it turned out to be a trouble?

Many people felt that they had been used by Li Cheng, and their faces became ugly.

Seeing this, Li Cheng also straightened up, with a sneer on his face, and then put on a rogue look of indifference.

He has been in the Hou Mansion for thirty years, and even Xu Yingbin can't help him, and he is afraid of a hairy boy who is less than twenty? It's a little strange, why do Li Yi and Qin Dongyang also mess around with the prince? For Qin Dongyang, Li Cheng is a little jealous, his news is very well-informed, knowing that Qin Dongyang is a famous martial arts master on Fujian Road, today Li Cheng did not dare to tear his face, of course, it was also because Qin Dongyang was standing beside the prince with a knife in his hand......

A group of bankers from Jiazizhuang are still eager to try, as long as Li Cheng says a word, they will step forward to grab people. These people are bold, and many of them have done evil things over the years, and they really want to cut off all ten heads according to the law.

Li Cheng waved his hand lightly, forget about this matter today, I am afraid that it will not be good to fight by force, since the prince is putting on a businesslike face, it is better to start from this angle.

"For a little lady, is it worth it?" After most of the crowd dispersed, the proprietor of a trading house in a town was a little puzzled, and whispered to his companions: "Shizi and Li Tiguan, they actually tore their faces for this matter?" You must know that Li Tiguan has been in Nan'an Hou Mansion for 30 years. ”

"Huh." The companion let out a meaningful laugh, and only after half a sound did he say, "Think about it yourself, what is wrong with your words?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Thirty years!" The companion said: "A manager can control the official village for thirty years, and the two generations of marquis can't be replaced. As long as the prince wants to cheer up a little and drive Li Cheng away, there are more than 1,000 dings in the official village, which is the greatest wealth given by the imperial court, plus the hidden households are at least more than 1,000 households, how much is it in a year, how can the prince allow Li Cheng to continue to do it? ”

"What about Li Cheng?"

"Li Cheng also wants to use an excuse to fight with the son, not to fight, so that people can see that he is powerful, and people's hearts are changeable. He won the fight, and the prince was exempted from his control, and the villagers still had to look at Li Cheng's face to act, and the prince still couldn't move these Zhuangzi. What is Xiuniang, such a big interest this year is the most important point. ”

"I see."

"Hey, it's not that easy to see. Look, with so much money, where can Li Cheng eat? Have you just seen the people around him, all of them are eyebrows and full of anger. Where did he get such a subordinate from a Hou Mansion manager? ”

"Ah, you mean there is someone behind Li Cheng?"

"Hehe, I didn't say it, you said it yourself."

The spectators chatted, but after all, no one dared to say those three words.

"Qishan bandits" is a very feared and frightening word. Qishan is a big mountain on the island of the mouth of the Minjiang River, the island is very large, the radius is more than 100 miles, there are Qizhou City and a number of market towns on it, more than 10,000 households, there are three villages in the upper middle and lower villages, the lower village is near the river, the middle village is near the mountain, and the upper village is on the middle of the mountain.

On an island, where there are less than 100,000 people, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion asks for the establishment of a state, a history of assassination, a defense envoy, a regimental training envoy, and a three-village system, more than 7,000 officers and soldiers, and the defense is less than 3,000 Qishan bandits.

Qishan occupies half of the area of Qizhou Island, facing the sea on one side, is the location of the deep-sea harbor, surrounded by mountains on three sides, except for a main road into the mountain, the rest is a mountain cliff, only a small number of sheep intestine trails.

The Qishan bandits were not only mountain bandits, harassing the people of Qizhou, but also pirates, following the five thieves from the open sea to attack Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. Ten years ago, the city of Zhangzhou was broken, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed or displaced, and the entire Zhangzhou capital city became a sea of blood.

The imperial court also attaches great importance to the extermination of the Qishan bandits, and once sent a large army to conquer and suppress, but the terrain of Qishan is very complicated, and there is a large beach on the seaside side, which is easy to attack, but since the rise of the five thieves, the imperial court sailors have been defeated repeatedly, and a small number of remnants of the sailors are placed on Qizhou Island and Quanzhou, and the northern sailors are smaller, placed in Dengzhou and Jingshi, in case they are raided by the Japanese and the five thieves from the sea.

The five thieves also have their own supporters behind them, and the imperial court is powerless at all.

The sea is not good, and it is very difficult to attack by land, and the army cannot be used at all.

Later, the strategy of encroachment of elite soldiers was adopted, with Xu Yingbin, Marquis of Nan'an, as the defense envoy of Qizhou, and the deputy commander of the Sanzhai battalion, Xu Yingbin fought quite well in the early days, but later he was more and more tired, and the officers and soldiers lost in the last key mountain attack battle, and suffered heavy losses, Xu Yingbin lost the post of defense envoy, and was ordered to return to Fuzhou to be punished, and died soon after.

After this battle, the imperial court also has no heart to think about exterminating the Qishan bandits, the defense of Qizhou is still quite tight, the Qishan bandits turned to the rest of the military states, from time to time to send hundreds of thousands of people to rob the people of the military states, once which place is conquered by the Qishan bandits, the casualties must be extremely heavy, the coastal military states are strictly guarded, but such a long coastline, it is impossible to block the attack of the pirates, over the years, the name of the Qishan thieves is getting bigger and bigger, the court has no way, and even some court members play Emperor Chongde, simply recruited Anqi mountain thieves, granted official positions, food and salary, and the court suffered a loss in money, which was better than the people being looted and killed every year.

This proposal has not yet been completed, but there are rumors released, indicating that the imperial court is still tempted.

Li Cheng has hidden Qishan thieves behind him, and the stakes are great, no wonder he actually ran rampant in the countryside as a micro-end pipe, swallowing so many benefits, without a strong force behind him, he would have been killed a long time ago.

---------

Some people say that the role of Li Cheng is impossible, a minion, and he ordered to be killed.

In fact, during the Song and Ming dynasties, there were too many things to bully the masters with slaves, and the landlords were bullied by tenant farmers. This role was actually triggered by the news a while ago, a village secretary, and clan brothers were involved in the gang, dozens of people were arrested, and billions of assets were raised, Li Chengguan is bigger than him.
