After putting on his clothes, he took a cloak and draped it over his shoulders, Yang Yi followed Monkey Jian'er and walked out, Tie Niu was standing at the door like a door god at this time, and Hu Shou and others were still standing around.

"What about people? Where is it? Yang Yi said softly and coldly.

Monkey Jian'er didn't speak, but raised his hand and pointed to the east end of the village.

Yang Yi raised his hand, took Hou Jian'er, Tie Niu and others, and hurried to the east of the village.

"When?" Yang Yi asked as he walked.

"Fourth watch, it will be dawn in a while."

"Where's the bean bag?"

Hu Shou said: "In the second half of the night, the bean bags are on duty, and they are in front." ”

After walking a few dozen steps forward, a bean bag dressed in black greeted him from the darkness.

Yang Yining said: "How many people? ”

"About sixty people, and they don't look like good people with weapons." Bean Bao replied.

"Sixty?" Yang Yi frowned, if he really came for himself, it was absolutely impossible for him to come to such a person.

"Have you searched outside the village? Is there an ambush? ”

Doubao said: "I have checked, but no." ”

Hu Shou on the side said: "Your Highness, we can still solve the problem of sixty people, or I will take my brothers up." ”

Although there were only more than 40 people following Yang Yi this time, these 40 or so people were either strong martial arts generals or dark messengers who were proficient in all kinds of assassination and espionage.

Yang Yi thought for a while and asked Doubao, "What do you think?" ”

Doubao replied: "The origin of these people is unknown, and it doesn't seem that they are coming for us now, but I suggest cleaning them up." ”

Yang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look first, if it's not for us, don't make more trouble, where are the people?" Take me to see it. ”

"The gang is with the village chief now." Doubao pointed to a relatively tall building next to him and said, "You can see the situation in the courtyard clearly when you go up to the roof." ”

Yang Yi nodded: "Tell the brothers to occupy all the favorable terrain, but don't act rashly without my orders." ”

After saying that, Yang Yiben and Doubao, Monkey Jian'er climbed onto the roof of the house, and Hu Shou and Tie Niu went down to arrange their troops.

Yang Yi climbed on the roof lightly, lying on the grass on the roof, and peeked in.

I saw a house on the opposite side, full of people in different suits, more than a dozen bright torches illuminated the courtyard transparently, and I could vaguely see the village chief and his wife and a few villagers standing in the courtyard, talking with a bearded man.

"Lee Gyu! Your parents were killed by you, what are you going to do when you come back? The village chief pointed to the fierce beard in front of him and scolded.

The village chief's body trembled a little as he spoke, and he didn't know whether it was because of fear or anger.

The bearded man who was called Li Gui by the village smiled when he heard this: "What are you talking about, village chief, Xiao Li Zhuang is my home, of course I want to come back to take a look!" ”

The village waved his sleeves and said angrily: "When your mother was angry with you, she had already burned down your house, and there was nothing left for you here, so leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for reporting to the government and taking you." ”

"Hahaha!" Li Gui laughed unscrupulously when he heard this, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and said half-loudly: "Okay, village, you can report to the official to try, you see if the government dares to take me, Lao Tzu is now the outer disciple of Jiuxiao Villa!" ”

"Nine Heavens Villa?"

"Nine Heavens Villa?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the village elder was taken aback, but even Yang Yi on the roof frowned.

I only heard that Li Gui continued: "You don't inquire, who dares to care about the affairs of Jiuxiao Mountain Villa in the Fengzhou Territory?" ”

Li Gui's words are true, Fengzhou is already barren, and there is nothing that can be handled, only Jiuxiao Villa, the largest sect in the rivers and lakes, is located here.

Jiuxiao Villa has a huge power, disciples are all over the world, and it has always been the head of decency, unless Jiuxiao Villa has a rebellion, otherwise the Fengzhou government will rarely interfere in the affairs of the villa, even if a disciple of the villa violates the law and is arrested by the government, most of the time the government will send the criminals back to Jiuxiao Villa and hand them over to the village for disposal.

This is not an extrajudicial grace, just because when Master Pukong was alive, the door rules of Jiuxiao Villa were sometimes stricter than the laws of the imperial court, and he never cheated for personal gain, perhaps because of this, Jiuxiao Villa could become a famous family in just twenty or thirty years.

This time, Master Pukong passed away, Jiuxiao Villa was in a mess, and even affected the tranquility of the surrounding towns, the Fengzhou government issued several warnings, but did not send troops to intervene, it was also because of the concern about the influence of Jiuxiao Villa in Fengzhou Mansion, until the last resort, the government was unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the villa.

When the village chief heard Li Gui's words, his face was embarrassed, and he pointed at Li Gui's nose and scolded: "Nonsense! How could Jiuxiao Mountain Villa take in such an unfaithful and unfilial person as you..."

"Smack!!" Before the village chief finished speaking, Li Gui, who had a hideous face, stepped forward and raised his hand to slap him fiercely.

"Village Chief!!"

"Li Gui, you beast!"

The villagers were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help the village chief who fell to the ground.

Li Gui pointed at the villagers and said with a cruel smile: "Haven't you always looked down on Lao Tzu one by one? I'm going to make you look good today! ”

As he spoke, Li Gui wanted to rush forward and commit violence again, but he was suddenly dragged by a long-faced man behind him.

"Senior Brother Gong?" Lee Gyu-do.

The long-faced man said expressionlessly: "Let's get down to business first." ”

Li Gui seemed to be very afraid of the person he called Senior Brother Gong, so he nodded hurriedly and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's important to do business first!" ”

As he spoke, Li Gui turned around and looked at the angry villagers, and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu's account will be settled with you later, today I, Li Gui, did not come to Xiao Li Zhuang to talk to you, I was ordered by Elder Li of Jiuxiao Mountain Villa to collect the village fee." ”

"Zhuang Fei? What is the village fee? The village chief, who was slapped by Li Gui and sat on the ground, trembled, obviously he also knew that Li Gui was not so easy to mess with now.

Li Gui said: "Naturally, it is the village fee of Jiuxiao Villa, Jiuxiao Villa does not help you poor people on weekdays, but now that the villa is in trouble, can you just sit idly by?" ”

The village chief was stunned and said: "The knights of the mountain villa do often practice chivalry and righteousness, eliminating violence and peace, but Master Pukong has never asked us poor people for anything when he was alive, and besides... Besides, last year's great drought, there was almost no harvest in the village, and this year's official tax has collected all the grain stored by each family. Unbelief... I don't believe you're searching. ”
