Writing is hard, if you can, please register an account simply, and it doesn't cost you a penny, how about giving your brother a collection? Thank you.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Zhang family, that is a well-known hundred-year-old landlord, that is a thousand hectares of fertile land, and there are commercial transactions that stretch from Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, to Inner and Outer Mongolia, what kind of cellar is that? It is not an exaggeration to say that a rich country is rivaled, if this is really half taken, it will be hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, not to mention the full grain cloth.
Fifty taels of silver For these Zhuang Ke Xiangyong, that is ten years of chewing, one hundred taels? That is the life of his own small carefree ten years, at this time, natural disasters and man-made disasters, every big money is the capital of life, this rotten life is worthless, if you lose the family that can be replaced, it is very cost-effective to survive.
As the so-called wealth is moving, the reward has a brave man, the two hometowns heard such a reward, at that time they changed the past in the face of the head of the village outside the only promise to tremble, together with red eyes and puffed up, there is a great tendency to sacrifice their lives to break the thief.
Even the leader of the Wang family, who initiated the withdrawal of troops, also began to think, too, as long as this battle is successful, it is to get rich, that is not to say that it is his own generations of eating and drinking, look at the wall of the Zhang family There are not many thieves, but it is only three or four hundred, and he has two villages and the Chen family here There are nearly a thousand Yongzhuang guests, and it is impossible to win, the last time the Chen family lost but suffered on the thief's bow and arrow, as long as he waited for more door shields, he could also be restrained, and then look at the brothers who were eager to try in front of and behind him, is no longer as desperate as at the beginning, it is the morale of the army that can be used.
So he stepped forward and said loudly: "Since the eldest grandson said, the silver is a small matter, and the righteousness comes first, and now the morale of the army is available, then I will give up this skin for Lian Zhuang Dayi, and I will also destroy this gang of thieves and keep the people safe." ”
"Okay, I'm here to thank the king leader Gao Yi, then, what did Patriarch Zhao say?"
Now this Zhao patriarch suffers hardships in his heart, after all, people are old and refined, and he is not as short-sighted as the young man, and secretly said Although he still has a thousand people on his side, but the art of war is cloudy, and there are ten merits, we are just twice as many thieves here, where can we capture the thieves with sharp longbows and condescending? You are here to cheer for the shadowless money, how do you know that those thieves are not fighting to the death for the money that has already arrived?
In this comparison, isn't it inevitable to lose? Joking with the lives of the children of his relatives and the recruited Xiangyong, although the Xiangyong is a recruited outcast, but after all, it is also human life, human life is not a mustard, and it is really not worth it to lose the lives of these people for the illusory reward, the Zhao family has been cultivating and reading heirlooms for several generations, although there is no big official eunuch, but this is the simplest compassion of being a man.
But looking at the leader of the Wang family who was already eager, knowing that what he said was also in vain, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and didn't say much, and arched his hand to the grandson of the Chen family and the leader of the Wang family: "The grandson of the Chen family, my Zhao family is thin, and I can't give a big help to the grand event of the eldest grandson, and the affairs in my Zhao family village are complicated, and I can't delay, so I will say goodbye to you here, and I wish you success here." As soon as he said that, he slowly retreated with his men.
Patriarch Zhao's decision immediately led to disagreements among his subordinates,
The children of the clan did not dare to disobey the patriarch, and they were unwilling to retreat with the patriarch, but those who recruited the homeless people into the township Yong stopped moving, and those homeless villagers won the promise of the Chen family and grandson, so they all wanted to use their lives to spend some red money to let the family live, how could they be willing to be rich and rich? Ai Ai looked at the patriarch of the Zhao family, hoping that the Zhao family would agree.
The Zhao family saw that the township Yong they brought was split, and couldn't help but sigh, of course, they also understood the thoughts of those township warriors, usually according to the rules, those township warriors who were taken in worked for the big families in the village for some short jobs, and worked shifts day and night to protect the safety of the village, all they got was a family that barely starved to death, and now they suddenly have a hundred taels of silver, so that they can stay away from hunger, why don't they have the heart of birth?
Patriarch Zhao could have said the gains and losses during the period in front of everyone, but the Chen family and grandson were watching from the side, there was no need to really break the Liangzhuang alliance for some outcasts who were extremely interested in money, so let him do everything.
At the moment, he said: "You are employed by the Zhao family, but you are just exchanging your life for food, since the Chen family and grandson are so generous, I am not difficult for you, I just hope that after this war, you will return to Zhaojiazhuang to pick up your wives and children, and we will have a fate, you take care, the old man will break up with you." ”
What else can be said? Everyone has their own destiny, wealth is in the sky, and there is no need to block the financial path that others exchange their lives for, it is better to be a favor.
After these words, those original villagers were not very conscious, after all, the Zhao family was different from other landlords, and they usually treated themselves well, so some people hesitated again.
"The old patriarch doesn't care about Lianzhuang's mutual protection like this? Just pat your ass and leave? The grandson of the Chen family asked sharply at the moment. In any case, the Zhao family can't let people leave, this is too much of a blow to the morale of the army, and he spoke out loudly to stop it at the moment.
"Old decay, this thing of fighting and killing is not something that I can do, if it weren't for the righteousness of Lian Zhuang's mutual protection, and I didn't come to join in this fun, I just want my wife to do my farming and study life peacefully.
"Hahahaha." Seeing that the patriarch of the Zhao family had made up his mind, the grandson of the Chen family couldn't help laughing wildly, laughed for a while, and said fiercely: "Since you are here, there are only two ways to go with the old man, one, break Zhangjiabao with me to exterminate this group of thieves, and after the matter is completed, of course, you will have to share." ”
"What if I don't?"
"Then you are betraying the covenant, you are the traitor of this Lianzhuang, I will clean you up today." At that time, the eldest grandson said sharply.
Although the patriarch of Zhao is so self-contained, he was called by this junior, and reprimanded in front of these juniors, how can he tolerate it anymore, and he also darkened his face at that time, and smiled angrily: "Hahaha, but I can't see that this Lianzhuang is originally your love and my wish, everyone is on an equal footing, why has this become a vassal of your Chen family?" Is your Chen family the official mansion? ”
"You ——。" Chen's grandson was speechless for a while. But he immediately said forcefully: "If you do not respect the covenant, I have the right to act on behalf of the rest of the villages." ”
Originally, the Zhao family was connected to the Chen family's ridges, and there were usually many disputes over the water source of the fields, but the Chen family was a wang family, and relying on the Zhang family was even more arrogant, and the Zhao family suffered a lot in the village clan struggle, which was originally a belly of anger, but after all, it was a matter behind the front of the people, but now this is accused by the Chen family and grandson in front of the face of the village, where can they still get off the stage? At that time, he also poked his finger and scolded back: "The Huangkou child of the Chen family, in vain, your Chen family has always flaunted poetry and books, cultivated and read heirlooms, has this sage's articles and teachings been read into the dog's belly?" Isn't it true that the basic morality of respecting the old and respecting the virtuous is not remembered? Is this how the Chen family patriarch taught you? The old man just respects each other according to everyone's appointment, is he really afraid of you? ”
The eldest grandson who asked at that time was speechless, but he also lit the nameless fire of his competitiveness, and said loudly with a red face: "Old horseman, I respect you as a senior, so I talk to you so lowly, since you don't know what to do, then it's no wonder that I don't respect the elders." ”
was called the old horseman, the patriarch of Zhao was immediately furious, and even more angry when he heard the threatening words of the eldest grandson, and immediately pointed at the eldest grandson's nose and shouted: "Huangkou Xiaoer, I will retreat, what can you do to me?" ”
Seeing that the eldest grandson despised the patriarch of the Zhao family so much, the children of the Zhao family were also filled with righteous indignation, and they waved knives and guns to poke and scold, and for a while, the situation was out of control.
The leader of the Wang family saw that the Chen and Zhao families had a conflict, and they were in a dilemma at that time.
The Chen family is powerful and powerful, it is not something that they can afford to provoke, but this Zhao family is close to each other, with the same spirit, watching and helping each other, secretly joining forces to fight against the Chen and Zhang families, and at the same time, the idea of retreating is still out of their own, at this time, there is such a situation, how can you not let the king leader be in a dilemma?
"Everyone, everyone, let's stop the anger, everyone is here to fight the thieves together, the purpose is the same, everyone has something to discuss, don't let your own people get up first." The leader of the king is now sweating profusely in the middle of persuasion, hoping to reconcile the two families.
"Where do you need to consult with him?" The eldest grandson didn't buy his account at all, his eyes widened, and he looked at Patriarch Zhao with a red face.
The leader of the king shrank his neck, it seems that it is difficult to be a good person.
"Don't persuade the king again, I want to see how this yellow-mouthed kid can stop me, little ones, let's go." The elder of the Zhao clan was strong, and his temperament was even more hot, and he didn't accept the love of the king leader at all, and strode away with his own clansmen.
That is, things started because of your king's leader, but at this time you want to be a good person, let my people work hard for the reward of silver money that there is no hope for, where in the world is such a good thing?
When the grandson of the Chen family saw that the Zhao family was gone, he shouted at the time: "Brothers, clean up these guys who don't care about morality for me." ”
As soon as the eldest grandson spoke, the Chen family's horse team, which had already moved to the periphery of the crowd, shouted, suddenly pulled out the big knife on his waist, and surrounded the Zhao family in a shout.
The patriarch of Zhao didn't expect things to be like this, his complexion changed greatly at that time, looking at the eager posture of more than a hundred Chen family cavalry, he smiled angrily at that time, "I really can't see it, your Chen family has really grown, do you want to be the king and hegemon in this place?" ”
"I don't dare to be the king and hegemon, I'm just to maintain the Lianzhuang mutual insurance covenant."
"Okay, today, I will launch this Lianzhuang mutual insurance, and I will no longer be with you, and the safety of my own Zhuangzi will no longer have anything to do with you."
"It's a pity that you're too late to launch it now."
"I'm just retreating, what can you do to me?"
The eldest grandson said miserably. "If you want to retreat today, then this is your place of death."
