I don't know if it's a coincidence, but most of the conflicts are caused by small people and small events.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the year of the year. Breezy, cloudless, daylight.

Lin Guangyuan is a famous scoundrel in Mingyue Village, and he used to hang out with Cai Erlaizi, and it was time for Mingyue Village.

Lin Guangyuan has both hands and feet, and his face is white, but he is just lazy to eat. Relatives persuaded him, his childhood friends persuaded him, and the staff of the public middle school persuaded him, but he didn't want to go out to work after all.

Seeing that there are more and more people in the village who are entering a well-off place, and even many new villagers who have been here for less than a year have opened workshops, Lin Guangyuan's lady cried and beat again, "They are all old people at that time in Mingyuezhai, you look at the days of other people's homes, you look at our family again." It's the New Year soon, I don't have new clothes, and my daughter doesn't have a new headband! ”

Lin Guangyuan didn't dare to fight back, comforted his mother and daughter, and walked out, "I don't want to either, but every time I go out of the house, I panic and always want to hide." ”

After struggling inwardly, Lin Guangyuan decided to agree to someone's request the night before and use his status as an "idler" to make trouble in the public middle school. Get the 100 yuan of silver, and have a good year first.

Encountering Lei Cheng and Tang Guohao on the way, Lin Guangyuan said hello and continued to move forward.

Lin Guangyuan knew that he was not welcomed, and he didn't dare to quarrel with people, and he always avoided acquaintances when he saw them. At this time, he thought to himself: Lei Cheng turned out to be just a blacksmith, and Tang Guohao, a craftsman, has not been in the village for a long time, and now he is so beautiful. After the Chinese New Year, do you want to try to make money and deal with people?

Someone watched Lin Guangyuan all the way. After seeing Lin Guangyuan enter the side door of the council hall, his eyes quickly went to report the news.

……

The council hall has a public room, a conservatory, and a bedroom for the owner, which are very comfortable, and there is also a secret passage for emergency escape.

Li Xiang sat on a chair in the public room, watching his cronies arguing around the large round table, holding his cheeks silently.

Zhang Qingping and Yang Yingdong took over the garrison early in the morning. These two originally had corresponding positions, and they were familiar with the generals above the head of the brand, and after inspecting the letter of the owner's order and the seal of Gongzhong, they took over the guards.

Liu Sheng took the elder battalion who was responsible for guarding one of the cards, and guarded the safety of the council hall and Li Xiang.

Liu Decheng and Ding Shihang, Li Xiang also had an order to convey, ordering them to take the old brother camp, guard Sanwangzhai and Guizi Mountain, and deal with it cheaply in case of emergency.

The Huang Cheng family and the Liu family are likely to be in trouble today, and Li Xiang pondered carefully and checked and filled in the gaps. Li Xiang didn't dare to underestimate Huang Liren, the scholars of the Great Zhou, he didn't dare to underestimate any of them.

Suddenly, Li Xiang heard a middle-aged man's loud shouting, his voice sounded a little lacking in qi, and he soon fell silent.

Li Mengkong came in sweating profusely, ashamed and angry, "It's Lin Guangyuan, the idler, who went to the public middle school to make a big noise, it must have been instigated by the seven Liu families." ”

Lin Guangyuan had limited courage, and shouted in the public that Mingyuezhuang was mistreating the old man and killing Qinling Village, and then he seemed to have to escape.

Li Xiang glanced at the map near Mingyuezhuang on the table, and wrote two big characters of public opinion with a pencil in the place where Mingyueji was marked, "The means are good." Lin Guangyuan made such a fuss, and the Huang Cheng family agitated in Mingyueji, and the trend against my Mingyuezhuang rose. ”

"Today should be just a temptation, everyone take turns to rest, and the show will start tomorrow."

In the afternoon, the whole bright moon was boiling.

All kinds of black histories about Mingyuezhuang and even its predecessor, Mingyuezhai, have been continuously exposed at an astonishing speed. Green buildings, wine shops, teahouses, restaurants, storytellers excitedly talk about the glorious deeds of "Li Xiang Li Tianwang".

Li Xiang's origin is unknown, but it is well known to the people of Mingyuezhuang, and in the mouth of the storyteller, of course, his life experience is mysterious.

Mingyuezhuang continues to create new workshops and new gadgets, and also led the establishment of Mingyueji. Now there are many workshops on the edge of the Han River, and the storytellers have sighed, "The owner of Mingyue Village has great powers." In Mingyue Village, there are gold and silver treasures everywhere. ”

"Smack!" "Let's talk about ...... now"

The merchant stewards and others, also under the encouragement of well-intentioned people, talked about the gossip about Mingyuezhuang.

"Have you heard of Mengxue in Mingyuezhuang? I never taught the Four Books and the Five Classics, and I didn't respect Taoism. ”

"What is this? I heard that Li Tianwang's methods were vicious, and he siphoned off most of the profits of Zhuang Min's workshop, and he was extravagant on weekdays, and he drove and scolded those Zhuang people at every turn. ”

"There is also the medical and health department that broke people's hands and feet, hey, I don't know what to do in it, maybe it's making soup with human flesh. That Li Xiang also threw the looted goods into several mansions, never let people see them, and he didn't know how many tricks and tricks were hidden. ”

The news, whether true or false, is hidden in distorted and slanderous remarks, and spreads to the entire Mingyueji, Xunyang, Shiyan, and Danjiangkou. At the same time, there were similar rumors in Nanyang, Yexian and Bianjing. Surprise, envy, curiosity, greed, all kinds of emotions permeated the hearts of Shinong businessmen.

The gentry class has the right to speak, and of course they must use it well. Li Xiang disdained these lip and tongue skills, but still followed the advice of Cheng Jianghai and Cheng officials to make some precautions.

Li Xiang underestimated the methods of the Huang Cheng family, and even underestimated the ruthlessness of some people. That night, Lin Guangyuan died of poisoning!

Lin Guangyuan died in the village, and the high-level officials didn't know about it, but the officials of Xunyang Mansion and the 1,000-chamber army of Shiyan Prefecture were already halfway there, less than ten miles away from Mingyuezhuang!

Airplanes with wooden wings, horse-drawn trains, galleons on wheels......

Li Xiang wanders in a bizarre dream, and suddenly finds that everything around him is on fire, the plane is in pieces, the train is falling into the sea, and the sails are flying into the sky.

As soon as the picture turned, Li Xiang felt like he had fallen into the water......

"Ahem!" Li Xiang opened his eyes in a daze, and at first glance he saw Uncle Zhao holding a wooden basin in his hand.

Uncle Zhao shouted: "Master Zhuang, the official messenger will soon go outside the village gate, and the 1,000 troops on the side of Shiyan are also about to arrive." ”

Li Xiang was agitated and completely sober, "A thousand van troops? Why was there no news before? Why did the official errand come over suddenly? ”

The official errand and the box army are coming, but Mingyuezhuang is in chaos.

In front of the council hall, Lin Guangyuan's wife and daughter knelt on the ground, hugged Lin Guangyuan's body and cried bitterly, "Boss, you died so miserably." I just said a few words in the public, and I was poisoned by this, how can I live......"

When Li Xiang saw this scene, he had a bad heart, so he asked more than 30 guards and a card elder battalion to gather and stand on the steps of the council hall.

The south gate of Mingyuezhuang.

Liu Xiadu and the other six Liu families rushed to the door to let the officials send into Mingyuezhuang.

The guard of the door was a loud voice, and he shouted: "Liu Xiadu, what do you want to do?!" ”

Liu Xiadu was wearing a silk scholar's robe, looking gentle and elegant, "Isn't Mingyuezhuang the territory of the Great Zhou?" There was a murder in Mingyue Village, shouldn't the government investigate it? Do you really want to rebel if you wait to stop the officials? ”

The voice was so loud that he didn't dare to answer.

Liu Xiadu wooed the Zhuang people, who were dissatisfied with the rules of the Gongzhong School and Li Xiang himself, gathered in front of the village and clamored loudly to let the government uphold justice.

The showdown conflict bursts into silence!

The elite of the 1,000-chamber army who crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Han River and went straight to Mingyuezhuang came to the gate of the village with torches, and cooperated with the officials of Xunyang to shout peace.

The guards of Mingyuezhuang have the identities of village soldiers, archers and bow and arrow clubs, and the control of weapons in the Great Zhou is sometimes tight and sometimes loose, and the guards have no problem holding knives, guns, bows and arrows. But the Zhuang people who were wooed by Liu Xiadu began to shout for their sons to come down, and the guards had no fighting spirit, and they were powerless to stop it, and the situation was on Liu Xiadu's side.

It lasted for most of the incense burn time, and just when the official errand and the box army were about to start to attack, the sweaty loud voice finally received the order. The loud voice opened the gate of the village and retreated to the council hall with the guards loyal to Li Xiang, where was the north-south dividing line of Mingyue Village.

Li Xiang hurried to make some preparations, and stood at the door of the council hall in chain mail and fine lin armor, listening to the lively voice, without any expression on his face. Liu Susu stood behind Li Xiang, and her beautiful face was full of anger.

The clamor came, and the firelight reflected the red vision.

Li Xiang ordered Da Shengmen and Da Niu to control the guards of the three Zhuangmen, ordered Zhao Bo, Na Shusen, and Cheng Jianghai to hide in the dark with good hands, and ordered Zhang Qingping and Yang Yingdong to guard the north bank of the Xiaohe River, and then put on a double-layer helmet disguised as a winter hat.

Liu Sheng guarded next to Li Xiang, close protection, there were dozens of guards and a card elder battalion, and it was far enough to guard the council hall.

After all, things are disgraceful, and the righteous gentlemen did not come. The chief catcher of Xunyang Mansion took the official errand, and the two battalion commanders of the Shiyan Xiang Army entered Mingyuezhuang with the officers and soldiers, and at the same time they were amazed by the neat building, they rushed to the council hall with great power.

The crowd of people in Wuyang separated, and the chief catcher of Xunyang and a battalion commander stepped forward.

Xunyang always shouted loudly: "Dare to ask which one is Li Xiang, stand up yourself!" ”

Zhang Wanli was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Xiang.

Li Xiang looked at the dense torches under the steps and along the river, and asked, "It turned out to be the chief catcher of Xunyang, who was disrespectful and disrespectful, dare to ask Your Excellency who is here this time?" ”

"It's not a lot of nonsense, Lin Guangyuan on the ground scolded you a few words, and this is dead, so you can follow Ben to catch the head and find out the matter." Xunyang's chief catcher was lured by Huang Liren, and seeing that Huang Cheng's family was thoughtful, he agreed to take someone to arrest Li Xiang, and then immediately kill him.

After listening to the head catcher from a hundred meters away to show his intentions, Li Xiangle said, "From my Mingyuezhuang to the nearest Xunyang, it will take more than half a day to go back and forth." Less than two hours after Lin Guangyuan died, Your Excellency came with Xiang Jun, he was really diligent in his work! ”

"The owner of this village didn't hear the news of Lin Guangyuan's death, so Your Excellency rushed over with a roar, amazing!"

The loophole is a bit big, and the head catcher coughs twice to relieve the embarrassment, "Don't talk about those who don't." You, Li Xiang, not only killed people, but also wantonly killed the people of the Qinling Mountains, and you were not wronged, but you always had to go to the government to make it clear. ”

Zhuang Min shouted in grief and indignation:

"What evidence is there to prove that the owner is the murderer?"

"Don't take people from you!"

"When did the Qinling mountain people become naturalized? When was it seen by the government? How could the government ever care about the lives and deaths of the homeless? Lin Guangyuan's death must be that the seven Liu families want to seize power and blame the owner of the village! ”

The chief catcher couldn't control the scene, and the two battalion commanders led nearly a thousand soldiers to shout a few times before they suppressed the angry villagers.

Liu Xia felt that it was time for him to appear, "Mingyuezhuang belongs to everyone, why is the public middle school arbitrary?" Now that Lin Guangyuan's brother died tragically, leaving only orphans and widows, shouldn't he give an explanation? ”

The fragmentary echoes sounded, and Liu Xia was very embarrassed. But Liu Xia is unwilling, why can Li Xiang be able to call out for peace, but he, the owner who is about to appear, should be snubbed?

Liu Xia avoided Li Xiang's deep eyes, his heart was horizontal, and he pointed at Zhuang Min and shouted: "Mingyue Village originally belonged to my Liu family, and it has been stolen by Li Xiang for many years. Now that Li Xiang is unable to protect himself, do you want to die with him?! ”
