Chapter 40: The old patriarch of the Shen family
The Shen family came in a mighty way, and three carriages rode dozens of strong men with cross-faced faces, holding big knives to guard them. Among them, it can be seen that there are still a few people who are dressed quickly, and it is obvious that the Shen family still reported to the official.
The gentry clan is like the emperor of the soil in the place, especially in a remote place like Yexian, and the emperor of Shangao is far from being able to control here.
Naturally, these gentry are powerful people, and even the local officials have to look at the faces of these big patriarchs. What's more, the big clan raised the children of the clan to become officials, so it was really a nest of rats and snakes.
Obviously, the Shen family is the largest family in Ye County, and the lord of this county is a member of the Shen family. Today, there was such a big thing in the Shen family, and the county lord did not dare to slack off, even if he sent someone to accompany him first, he had already begun to gather soldiers and horses to come later.
Mao Wenlong asked Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan not to show up, and then stood in the middle of the road with Chen Jisheng and others. looked coldly at the rushing Shen family's convoy!
The carriage stopped about five meters away from Mao Wenlong, and dozens of men who guarded the courtyard quickly turned over and dismounted, and rushed to the front of the carriage with steel knives in hand to confront Mao Wenlong and others.
The curtain of the carriage at the front was lifted, and a thin old man with a wrinkled face slowly got out of the carriage with the support of his subordinates. Passing over the group of nurses in front, the old man looked up at Mao Wenlong in the middle.
"Old man Shen Ba, the patriarch of the Shen family, I don't know what to call the son?" The old man was not in a hurry, and as soon as he came up, he reported to his house and inquired about Mao Wenlong's identity.
Knowing himself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, Shen Ba has lived for such an age, and he has never seen any storms. When he saw Mao Wenlong for the first time, he didn't think there was anything, but when he saw Chen Jisheng and a few others.
It was obvious that he felt the strong murderous aura on their bodies, which was different from the ones behind him at the moment. Although the nursing home has also killed people and seen blood, compared with Chen Jisheng, it is a small thing.
Mao Wenlong has such subordinates at a young age, and his identity is obviously not simple. The old fox had scruples in his heart, so he naturally didn't dare to act rashly, so he greeted him with a smile as soon as he came up.
"Daddy, daddy save me! My son is dying, so it's up to me...... Woo woo woo ....... ”
Shen Shangxuan's voice suddenly came from the woods, and after shouting twice for help, he couldn't control himself and began to cry.
Hearing this, Shen Ba glanced at his voice, but he couldn't see his son's figure, frowned and didn't reply, and directly ignored his son's cry.
Mao Wenlong had already made up his mind to make trouble, so of course he disdained to be verbose with Shen Ba, and sneered: "What about money? If I give money, I will release people, and there is no need to talk about anything if I don't have money. ”
The hot face was attached to the cold buttocks of others, and Mao Wenlong's attitude instantly disliked Shen Ba, but Shen Ba could really bear it, and without saying much, he waved his hand directly and asked the subordinates around him to pull up the two carriages behind.
Several guards helped to remove the sackcloth covered on it, and saw that there were ten large boxes piled up on the two carriages, and it was very laborious for four strong men to carry one box, which showed that the boxes were quite heavy.
The box unloaded from the carriage was placed in front of Shen Ba, and at his signal, the subordinate opened the lock with the key. The moment the lid was opened, a dazzling silver glow reflected in the box in the reflection of the sunlight.
Chen Jisheng stepped forward to check the silver at Mao Wenlong's signal, and after a while, he came back to tell him that there was no problem with the silver two. Mao Wenlong smiled and said: "Mr. Shen is really happy, pull the carriage over, I will release him immediately, and the grievances between us will be written off." ”
"Well said! The old man saw that the son was a talent, and he didn't know if he could tell his name. Shen Ba still didn't forget to find out about Mao Wenlong's identity.
Mao Wenlong sneered in his heart, the old man in front of him is unrelenting, no matter what, in order to make things easier in the future, it is okay to reveal a little news to him.
Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong immediately said with a smile: "It's not convenient to reveal the name now, but I can tell you that we are from Dongjiang Town." Well, that's all there is to it, farewell! ”
At this time, Chen Jisheng and others had already pulled over two carriages full of silver taels, and Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan also got into the carriage one after another. Mao Wenlong turned over and got on the horse, and after saying goodbye, he wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, a few catchers behind Shen Ba rushed up at this time and blocked Mao Wenlong's way.
The leader was a man with a national character face about thirty years old, and after reaching out to block Mao Wenlong's way, he shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu, no matter who you are, we are the catchers of the county government of Ye County, and now we are suspected of blackmail and hurting people, so you must go with us to the county office." ”
"Ding!"
As he spoke, several catchers immediately showed their sabers and held them with Mao Wenlong.
At this time, Shen Ba was already supported by his subordinates, and went into the forest to see his son, ignoring the matter between Zhu Kuai and Mao Wenlong.
Seeing this, Mao Wenlong secretly scolded the old thing in his heart, and then said to the head catcher in front of him: "Your county government can't control Lao Tzu's head, I advise you to give way immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." ”
"Be bold, take them down, and those who dare to resist will be killed." The head catcher immediately turned cold, roared, and directly attacked Mao Wenlong with a knife.
The few catchers behind him were not slow, and followed closely behind him.
As soon as there was movement here, dozens of Shen family's nursing homes immediately surrounded them, all with bright knives in their hands, and there was a possibility of rushing up at any time.
"Presumptuous!"
A loud shout directly overshadowed the sound of catching the head, and I saw the angry Chen Jisheng jumping up directly from the horse. The saber in his hand flashed, and with a move, he split Huashan and rushed directly to the head catcher who rushed to the front.
Chen Jisheng came first, full of strength, and he could only raise his knife to block in a hurry.
"Ding!"
The two knives collided together, making a crisp sound of gold and iron.
The head catcher only felt that the arm holding the knife was numb, and the big knife in his hand suddenly became lighter. When he looked over, he saw that his supposedly sharp steel knife had broken into two sections.
"Hahaha...... Take Lao Tzu's knife again! ”
Chen Jisheng made a successful move, but he didn't give up, and with a turn of the blade, he roared and swept across the chest of the headhunter.
The face of the head catcher changed in an instant, and he knew that he was invincible to Chen Jisheng, so he did not hesitate to throw out the half-cut knife in his hand, forcing Chen Jisheng to return the knife to block.
And then he took the opportunity to jump away and hide behind a few of his men.
It seems like a long time, but it's just something that happened in the blink of an eye. As soon as Chen Jisheng made a move, he forced the head-catching danger to be in danger, and instantly shocked everyone.
The head catcher who escaped death was even more pale, looking frightened, after experiencing the moment of life and death just now, the head catcher no longer dared to underestimate Chen Jisheng and them.
