Chapter Twenty-Six: Just to the End
Cao Ang faced these people directly, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and a terrifying power naturally dispersed. After all, he is a man who has been on the battlefield, shed blood, killed people, and even died once. The evil spirit that is seared in the blood is not comparable to these doglegs who are used to acting as powerful.
The eyes of the people of the Cai family changed slightly, and after looking at each other, one of them crossed his chest and said, "Our Cai family is doing things, do you really want to obstruct it?" ”
"Of course, good deeds are welcome, but how can bad deeds not be blocked?"
The Cai family was silent for a while, and one of them whispered: "This person seems to have been from the army, and the power on his body is very similar to the inseparable personal guard on the side of the head of the family, so he should be a hard stubble." ”
The man stared at Cao Ang and sneered: "What about the army, we have more than a dozen people, each equipped with weapons, and we are afraid that he will be a bare-handed person?" We must do this today, no matter who obstructs it. The man licked his tongue as he spoke, and then said bloodthirstily, "As a last resort, you might as well kill one or two untouchables." ”
"Our Cai family is very sincere, originally planned to buy these waterwheels at cost price, but I see that Mr. is extraordinary, in order to show sincerity, I will make a decision, add fifty percent, and ask Mr. to sell my Cai family a thin noodle."
Cao Ang sneered and said, "Your Cai family wants me to give you a face, but why don't you give these villagers a way to live?" ”
The Cai family raised their eyebrows and said, "What Mr. said is too serious, I am just waiting for a fair deal, how can I talk about cutting off people's lives?" ”
"Without the waterwheel, the crops of the whole village will die of drought, isn't this a desperate livelihood?"
The Cai family suddenly grinned and said, "Sir's words are false, our Cai family is going to buy these waterwheels, and it's not that they are not allowed to build them again, how can they mistake the crops in the field?" ”
Cao Ang snorted disdainfully and said, "It makes sense to say this, but why don't you Cai family build it yourself?" ”
The Cai family's eyes turned cold, they stared at Cao Ang twice, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to be an enemy of my Cai family?" ”
"It's ridiculous, it's clear that your Cai family doesn't leave a way for others to live, and you actually say that I am hostile to the Cai family. However, what if someone is hostile to your Cai family, what can you do with me? Cao Ang said loudly, his words full of absolute determination and no regrets.
"Okay, in the realm of Xiangyang, you are the first one who dares to ignore my Cai family like this." The Cai family smiled evilly, then waved their arms and shouted, "Call me." ”
Cao Ang's face was grim, and he rushed out with an arrow step, and kicked the head of the Cai family in the stomach with lightning speed, instantly kicking him more than a foot away.
The howling Cai family was stunned, and their eyes all turned to Cao Ang. The leader of the Cai family got up and half-knelt on the ground, his face was clearly painful, and he snorted: "Cut him, cut him to death." ”
The Cai family drew their weapons one after another, and a cold light flashed in their eyes.
"Liang Gongzi is here." Suddenly, a person ran from the crowd, and after finding the Cai family, he said loudly.
The Cai family hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, and the leader staggered over in severe pain.
But I saw Cai Liang dressed in civilian clothes, surrounded by four or five strong men behind him, walking slowly towards this side.
Cao Ang's eyes were slightly condensed, and the new hatred and old hatred came together today, and it seemed that it was not good.
"Waste, you can't even do such a small thing." Cai Liang's eyes were cold, and he stared at the leader and said very dissatisfied.
"Childe, forgive me, the villain will go and dismantle these waterwheels." The man looked frightened, nodded and reassured, and then looked at the more than ten people who came with him, and said viciously: "Demolish them all for me, those who dare to block them, kill." ”
The Cai family who followed them took orders one after another and ran towards the waterwheels. The villagers were anxious, but they were afraid of the long knife in the hands of the Cai family, and they dared not speak out, and they blushed with anger one by one.
"Who dares to move and try," Cao Ang walked to the waterwheel, and the person who was close to the Cai family said calmly, "You are not the only ones in the world who will kill people. ”
The Cai family shuddered when they heard these bland but murderous words, and subconsciously stopped their actions and looked at Cai Liang.
When Cai Liang heard this, he showed hatred, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he walked straight over, staring at Cao Ang and said, "It turned out to be you, last time I let you go, this time you came to go against my Cai family again, do you really think that I Cai Liang can't take you?" ”
"Then I really want to thank Cai Gongzi for his magnanimity." Cao Ang replied without being salty.
Cai Liang's mood changed abruptly, and he pointed at Cao Ang and said, "You ......" Then he looked at the servants of the Cai family and shouted: "This son asked you to dismantle the waterwheel, and you are all stunned like wood......
"Cai Gongzi is so majestic, but your Cai family in Xiangyang is so bullying and bullying the township, aren't you afraid that such a reputation will spread and be scolded?" Cao Ang's eyes showed fierceness, but his voice was not loud.
"Do you really want to fight against my Cai family to the end?" Cai Liang's face was gloomy, and his voice was lowered.
Cao Ang shook his head regretfully, and sighed lightly: "It's not that Cao is against your Cai family, but that your Cai family has done too much and doesn't leave a way for people to live." ”
"Hmph," Cai Liang snorted coldly and said, "My Cai family is a strong party and has always been famous, how can you do such a thing, you don't want to spew blood." ”
"That's good, if the Cai family can be sympathetic to the township, they will definitely be praised and blessed for future generations." Cao Ang didn't believe that Cai Liang would be so magnanimous. However, the people of this era attach great importance to reputation, and if a big family has a good reputation, it will surely prosper. If it is notorious, it will be alienated and isolated by everyone, and it can only end up in a ruined situation. If Cai Liang really cares about Cai's reputation and stops, Cao Ang doesn't mind praising him Cai's family.
The villagers of Xiangyang Village also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, as long as the people of the Cai family did not forcibly take their waterwheels, it didn't matter if they swallowed their anger and were insulted and reprimanded. This is the most simple idea of the small people, the world is difficult, survival is not easy, as long as you can survive, you will not easily give up everything to resist injustice.
Cai Liang sneered, stared at Cao Ang playfully, looked at it for a long time, and said, "My Cai family's name is in the township, so naturally I won't bully the weak." But if someone infringes on the interests of my Cai family, we will not turn a blind eye and give in. ”
Cao Ang frowned and looked at Cai Liang. But seeing him smile brightly, he looked at the servants of the Cai family, and said in a loud voice: "I have dismantled the waterwheel and cut the bamboo, but in this land, no thing that is not my Cai family is allowed to exist." ”
"Cai Liang, do you really disregard the reputation of your family and insist on doing this?" Cao Ang asked in a loud voice before the Cai family's servants could make a move.
Cai Liang walked around Cao Ang, pointed to the ground under his feet, and said proudly: "The land under my feet is privately owned by my Cai family, and the land within three miles from the water to the west belongs to my Cai family." The people of my Cai family are demolishing things on their own land, and you can use them to dictate? If you are willing, you can dismantle it yourself, and it will save my Cai family the effort. As he spoke, he leaned into Cao Ang's ear and whispered: "Brother Tai, it was you small people who acted in the first place, and my Cai family was just defending their own rights and interests, how could they ever bully the weak?" ”
