Volume 2 Prosperous Bianjing Chapter 167 Two-Headed Fire Dragon
Liu Xiadu finally appeared directly, which is equivalent to saying: Li Xiang has offended too many people, and he is about to fall, so take refuge in me.
At the same time, the bright moon set.
Hundreds of people dressed in different clothes poured into Mingyue Restaurant, but they did not find a single family member of the martyr who was in charge. A bearded man grabbed the frightened Xiao Er, "What about those widows in Mingyuezhuang?" ”
"Spare your life, spare your life. The people of Mingyuezhuang are all in the backyard. ”
The scum legion composed of black and white forces and the blind stream of ruffians did not find the bereaved families of the heroes in the village in Mingyue Restaurant, but only found a secret passage in the backyard. Subsequently, these messy pieces of scum rushed to the workshop on the edge of the Han River.
Robbed the workshop of Mingyuezhuang!
Wang Er ran to the pavilion where his younger brother Wang San was, which was also the largest pavilion in Mingyueji, "Third brother, can't we make a move?" ”
Wang San was wearing a fur coat and thought carefully for a while, "Let those people make trouble." If they don't make trouble, how can the merchants of Mingyueji know who is protecting their lives and property? Some people don't suffer some losses, and they don't remember well. ”
Turning to his eldest brother, Wang San said: "Big brother, you can take fifty percent of your subordinates to protect the people who do things for us, and guard the house." ”
Wang Da has always listened to his third brother's words, and went downstairs with his fists hugged.
Wang San smiled and said to the second brother: "Second brother, don't panic, take a sip of hot tea and rest." Let's sit on the wall and wait for the news from Mingyuezhuang. ”
Liu Xiadu coerced and lured Zhuang Min.
Li Xiang looked at Liu Xiadu and said unhurriedly: "I'm really tired, it's obviously a simple matter of competing for interests, but it has to be so complicated?" ”
"Lin Guangyuan's death, you did it, right?"
Hearing the owner of the village say this, Lin Guangyuan's wife and daughter on the ground were obviously shocked.
Seeing that Liu Xia was about to refute, Li Xiang waved his hand and continued: "What you have in mind is not to get the position of the owner of the village, so that you can be a strong party?" Maybe I want to go to high school in one fell swoop, right? ”
Xun Yang was stunned.
Everyone competes for interests under the banner of grandeur, this is the fine tradition of the Great Zhou, you Li Xiang directly peeled off all the dough, how can you play this? It's so embarrassing......
Of course, Li Xiang didn't know what the head-catcher was thinking, and asked Liu Xiadu word by word, "You are not satisfied with the owner of this village. The owner asks you, if you were asked to be the owner, what would you do? ”
"Your seven Liu families are doing things, will they discuss with everyone as they do now; Will your seven Liu families abide by the rules and not rob everyone's workshops and property; What will your seven Liu families take to feed the Huang Cheng family, as well as the officials, soldiers and officials present. ”
"Don't tell the owner of the village, you Liu Xia will take the initiative to break the house to protect the interests of the villagers."
A large number of villagers rode on wooden rafts and pulled ropes to the north bank, and a small number of villagers went to the south bank. The wooden rafts on the river are staggered, and the villagers, who have known each other in the past, bow their heads and remain silent in the face of division.
Liu Xia was speechless, and did not dare to answer Li Xiang's question rashly. Could he have been able to tell Zhuang Min directly that only a very small number of people would have the good things in Mingyue Village, and all the others would become pariahs?
Li Xiang continued at his own pace: "The owner of this village knows that many villagers have such and such dissatisfactions, some of which are reasonable, but some of them are unreasonable. ”
"Some people want all kinds of conveniences in Mingyuezhuang and the good things provided by the owner of the village, and they also want to be in a high position. It's better to take everything, don't have to bear anything, and no one dares to care if you make a mistake, yes or no? ”
More than 200 people approached Liu Xiadu, some blushing, some eyes flashing, and some annoyed and angry.
Taking the brass horn in Lei Cheng's hand, Li Xiang tried his best to raise his voice, "Since you don't want the rules of the public school, the owner of this village is not reluctant." Those who can trust the owner of the village took the fine soft to the north bank of the Xiaohe River, and those who wanted to follow the seven families surnamed Liu and Huang Cheng stayed on the south bank of the Mingyue River. ”
"Since then, the north and the south have been separated by each other. Do you guys have any comments? ”
Zhuang Min, who took refuge in the seven families surnamed Liu and Huang Cheng, was overjoyed.
The vast majority of them don't want to be an enemy of Li Xiang at all, they just want privileges and that kind of high-minded life. They just understood something, and they were pessimistic about Li Xiang's future: how could they win against the backers behind the Huang Cheng family and the big merchants in Mingyueji?
The owner of the village promised to divide half of Mingyue Village, and the villagers who were devoted to Liu Xiadu certainly did not want to continue to make trouble, after all, the Huang Cheng family, the gentry and the official army were not good things. It is the will of these people to settle down as soon as possible, make a fortune, and run towards a new life.
But some people can't accept it.
What Liu Xia wants is the entire Mingyue Village. The core workshop, the medical and health department, and the top-secret workshop that Li Xiang made were all on the north shore, so he would not agree. Besides, Master Huang is the person who designated Li Xiang's head.
Liu Xia suppressed the noise around him, "It's not that my Liu family must drive the owner of the village out of power, but now that there is a murder case in the village, the merits must be explained to the government." In the next is just to temporarily take care of the position of the owner, and when the owner comes back, everyone will discuss the rules of the village. ”
These words were said beautifully, and Liu Xia had already grasped the essence of the speech of a righteous gentleman.
Before Li Xiang could speak, he heard the carpenter shout: "Don't be deceived by Liu Xiadu, who is right and wrong, can't you see it?" If the owner is taken away, will he still have his life? When the Liu family is in power, it will be strange that they will abide by the rules, and how many families will be able to die well? You have no fame, no backers, and you will be a dish when the time comes! ”
Carpenter, Lei Cheng, Zhen Laoshi, Wu Xiaoling, Zhao Bo, the craftsmen, widows and low-level people represented by these people all made their fortunes one after another after Li Xiang succeeded him as the owner of the village. They know the faces of some people best, and when they saw that many Zhuang people were actually standing on Liu Xiadu's side, they shouted in their hearts: stupid! Do you really think you're the number one?
Chief Xunyang looked at Mingyuezhuang smugly. It's good to be inside and outside, otherwise the village gate can't enter, after all, Liu Chengdong is fighting in Jiangnan, and it is impossible for him to attack directly.
He Ruifeng, who was dressed as an official, frowned, and came to the chief catcher's side, "Lord Catcher, you can't let Zhuang Min continue to separate." At that time, the untouchables loyal to Li Xiang were all on the north bank, and they had the confidence to defend the river, so they had to act in advance. ”
In the heart of the chief catcher, He Ruifeng is just Huang Liren's domestic servant, and he is very impatient with He Ruifeng's fingers.
But as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.
The chief catcher also felt that Li Xiang's approach was very meaningful, and he didn't want to let him delay time, so he nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
The villagers who arrived on the north bank, and there were constantly families with insufficient hearts who accepted the persuasion of the seven Liu families and came to the south bank.
Xun Yang always grabbed a person who was tied strongly, and threw out a few pairs of chain mail, "Li Xiang, you can still quibble about killing people and slaughtering Qin Ling, and you actually instructed craftsmen to make armor privately." The human and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say! ”
There was silence in front of the council hall.
Li Xiang saw sweat on his forehead and called Uncle Zhao, "Why didn't Tang Guohao evacuate in advance and was caught?" How did the chain mail get into the hands of the other party? ”
Uncle Zhao completely lost his previous composure and fierceness, ran to the back of the council hall to check, understood the basic situation and ran back, "The person who took Tang Guohao's evacuation betrayed the owner and took refuge in Liu Xiadu. Those few pieces of chain mail were left in the store by people who were familiar with Tang Guohao to repair them, and those ...... also took refuge in seven Liu families. ”
It's a big deal.
Tang Guohao was gagged and kept struggling on the ground.
Li Xiang couldn't bear to see it, and knew in his heart that Tang Guohao would not confess easily. Privately making armor is a felony, and since the Huang Cheng family wants to nail themselves to death for this crime, Tang Guohao, who built the armor, naturally has no way out.
Zhuang Min, who was standing on the side of the Liu family of the seven households, exhaled heavily, glad that he had made the right choice.
On the north bank of the Xiaohe River, the minds of the Zhuang people who were oriented to Li Xiang were empty, and many people who originally thought they had made up their minds thought: If the owner of the village does not go with the people of the government, will he really rebel? It's okay for the owner to go to the government and spend some money or find someone to settle things, right? The law of the Great Zhou is there, and the Liu Datong is also working hard in Jiangnan, can the government still ignore people's lives?
Just when the Zhuang people on Liu Xiadu's side were proud and the Zhuang people on Li Xiang's side were confused and hesitant, the fangs hidden in the officials and soldiers spewed venom.
The timing was right!
Two well-tuned crossbows and five hundred-pound hard bows were launched together, and seven arrows were fired at Li Xiang in a volley.
Liu Sheng blocked two with his knife, Shen Lao Ying blocked two with his body, and the remaining one crossbow arrow and two long arrows hit Li Xiang.
Everyone stayed where they were. Then, the fire dragon soars into the sky!
……
On the edge of the Han River, Wu Xiaoling's workshop.
"Little widow, open the door quickly, Lao Tzu wants to taste your taste......" The one who hit Wu Xiaoling's workshop was a group of ruffians who were active near Mingyueji. The leader was short and stubby, with his arms bulging, and was shouting wildly at the workshop compound.
"That's it, follow us and keep you happy every day!"
The untouchables on the wall listened, and quickly opened the gate and handed over all the goods. Your owner Li Xiang has committed a crime, and he can't say that he has been taken away by the government, haha......"
Huang Cheng's two families sent people to attack more than 20 workshops of Li Xiang's cronies, one is to contain the energy of Mingyuezhuang, and the other is to further confuse the hearts of Mingyuezhuang's people.
Wu Xiaoling in the backyard of the workshop was just silent.
The dozen or so guards selected by Wu Xiaoling from among the homeless people did not say a word, but they all stood on the spacious low wall with their weapons in their hands, quietly watching the ruffians outside.
A fire suddenly ignited in Mingyue Village, and the corners of Wu Xiaoling's eyes jumped suddenly, and she grabbed the corners of her clothes.
Five days ago, Wu Xiaoling had a small gathering with some orphans, widows, martyrs, and craftsmen, during which someone asked worriedly: "What if...... The owner fails, what should I do? ”
Wu Xiaoling said something at the time, "I, Wu Xiaoling, don't dare to rebel, and I don't think I will dare to do it then, but I would rather die than be slaughtered." ”
"I don't want to go back to the old days. I was busy all day but couldn't eat, the child was so hungry that I cried but I couldn't help it, and I could only endure being bullied. It's different, I can't stand that kind of life anymore. ”
"If the owner fails, I will let some people's workshops on the side of the Han River, those big merchants in Mingyueji, and Huang Cheng and Huang Cheng all accompany me to bury before I die......"
"I, Wu Xiaoling, will burn everything I see in front of me until I die!"
The door of the workshop opened, and Wu Xiaoling's guards rushed out, swords, guns, shields and arrows flying.
In the light of the fire behind him, the scene of the guards holding their weapons high and shouting and charging is like an evil ghost descending into the world.
The ruffian was stunned, and he didn't know how to dodge, and only after being killed did he react, and he scattered and fled in all directions.
He had a knife in his head and fell to the ground coughing up blood.
He looked at Wu Xiaoling who was approaching, as if he couldn't believe it, "You, actually...... Dare to resist, heroine among women! I've been messing around for so long, and I don't dare to resist...... Ahem"
Wheezed violently a few times, spit out dirty blood, and reluctantly hugged his head into a fist and said: "Life is not as good as a mouse, bullying orphans and widows all day long, being called by people as dogs, and it is finally over." I'm sorry, big girl. ”
"Hehe, died at the hands of the heroine of the female middle school, it's worth it!"
Wu Xiaoling's face was expressionless, she picked up the sharp dagger that Lei Cheng had built for her, and slowly inserted it into the chest of the handle.
Tears fall to the ground.
Wu Xiaoling didn't look at it, and muttered: "The slave family is just a widow, and once she didn't dare to kill people, let alone kill chickens." In order not to shake my hands when I killed, I killed eleven pigs, five sheep, and two cows, sometimes sprayed with blood. I also relied on the relationship of Master Li and got two places to see blood, so you are the third person I killed. ”
"I didn't recruit anyone to mess with anyone, I just want to live a good life with two children, why do so many people can't look at it, and they have to make me a poor widow who has suffered a lot of humiliation?"
Wu Xiaoling got up, the blood at the tip of the dagger dripped down, and the edge was chilling in the blood and firelight. She clenched her dagger and looked at the mountains to the northwest, "Son, Qichen, you two hide well." My mother will kill more people so that you can escape farther. ”
Something, stirring in Wu Xiaoling's chest.
Seeing the fire in Mingyue Village, some of the workshop owners who thought that the owner had failed opened the workshop door and surrendered. But like Wu Xiaoling, there are many workshop owners who are doomed to a miserable end even if they surrender. Destined to become fat and victims, they have no way out, and they will pull all the Hanjiang workshops and Mingyueji merchants to accompany them for burial!
Burn, burn it all.
With Mingyueji as the center, along the Han River, which is thirty miles long, the fire dragon soars into the sky!
The flames of Mingyuezhuang are also burning bigger and bigger. From a distance, where the Bright Moon Collection is located, the two-headed fire dragon seems to be about to break through the night sky.
