Danshi gave strange medicines, and the villagers suffered hardship; Wen Degong village chief, the ovary wants to work!

Seeing the old man's panicked expression, Zhang Liang was very surprised. He didn't understand why the sound www.biquge.info of the drums made the other party panic so much.

As time passed, the drumming gradually stopped. And the old man slowly recovered his mood after the drumbeat disappeared.

"Old man, what happened to you just now? Why do you act so scared when the drums sound? ”

Seeing that Zhang Liang saw his changes, the old man stared at him silently for a long time before he sighed: "Do you want to know why the people in the village are so weird?" ”

As soon as Zhang Liang heard the other direction tell him about the strange reason in the village, he hurriedly nodded.

After seeing Zhang Liang's expectant expression, the old man said slowly: "Almost all the people in this village are the remnants of the original Chu State. After the state of Chu was destroyed, it moved to settle here. The Chu people have a tradition of enveloping witches, which refer to doctors, alchemy monks, and others. A few months ago, two people came out of the mountains outside the village, claiming to be alchemy monks. When they came, they stayed in the village chief's house. In the beginning, they helped the villagers to heal their illnesses and wounds, and the villagers trusted them very much. But then they began to tell everyone about their elixir, saying that it could prolong life and that it was distributed for free. And the village chief also told everyone that the pill had all kinds of miraculous effects. The villagers were not suspicious of deception and thanked them for their great kindness, but later found that after taking their elixir, if they could not take it regularly, they would suffer unbearable pain all over their bodies, like a fire, and it would be difficult to control themselves. The villagers couldn't stand it anymore, so they went to them and asked for the elixir. But they actually started selling at high prices. The old man looked a little excited at this time, and seemed to be extremely resentful of the actions of the two Danshi.

At this time, the villagers couldn't do without those pills, and in desperation, they had to buy them. But in less than a month, most of the villagers had already spent all their possessions. The villagers had no choice but to beg them every day, and some were even willing to sell their sons and daughters! And when the two saw the villagers' almost crazy behavior, they asked everyone to join them in their so-called teachings. And he threatened that those who joined the religion would be given medicine. ”

"Teachings? What is it?! Illegal cult?! ”

Hearing Zhang Liang interject and ask, the old man replied in a deep voice: "We don't know what an illegal cult is, and at the beginning, there were also villagers who didn't trust it, but after all, they couldn't compete with the pain of having no medicine to eat, and finally joined one after another. But as soon as they joined, they began to order us to do things, and they demanded that we pay tribute and offerings on time, even the women of the village. The middle-aged men in the village were also arranged by them to go into the mountains in batches to mine and collect medicines. This is a clear order for them to close their doors and not accept outsiders. ”

When Zhang Liang heard this, he basically concluded that the other party was a cult organization that used drugs to control the villagers. "Old man, since you all know that they are not good, why don't you report to the official?! This place is not far from the county seat, even if the county town can't manage it, you belong to the people of Han Tu, you can also go to Han Capital to find the officials of the DPRK and China to explain the matter! ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, the old man immediately shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Son, you don't know the power of that medicine, as long as you don't eat for three days, the pain in your body will be unbearable." If you don't eat for seven days, you will go crazy and die! Moreover, the village chief of this village actually conspired with those two Danshi. On the one hand, he persuaded the villagers to be loyal to the teachings, and on the other hand, he secretly raised dozens of thugs, and if anyone tried to sue the officials or escape, they would be severely beaten by them! Almost half of the offerings and tributes we made went to the village chief. In addition, the village is located in a corner, and the taxes of the county seat are also sent by the village chief, so there is little contact with the outside world at all! ”

Hearing that the village chief was colluding with outsiders to poison the villagers, Zhang Liang immediately asked angrily: "Isn't this village chief a person from the village?!" How could they unite with outsiders to murder the people in their own village?! Does he still have a conscience? ”

Seeing that Zhang Liang was a little annoyed and puzzled, the old man replied: "Son, you don't know, the current village chief is the only son of the old village chief." He had only returned to the village a few months before the two danshi appeared. He went out to earn a living in his early years and has not been heard from, so after he came back, the old village chief took good care of him. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and only half a month after he came back, the old village chief died suddenly. The villagers are all people who are deeply favored by the old village chief, and in order to repay the kindness, they unanimously elected him as our village head. ”

It was only at this time that Zhang Liang really understood that the village chief was probably premeditated. Not only that, but the other party's actions are so secretive, I'm afraid there are other plans.

After the old man finished talking about the origin of the village chief, he slowly walked to the window, quietly looked out, and after finding no abnormality, he turned to Zhang Liang and continued: "The drum you heard just now is to inform the villagers that tonight is the night of tribute. Before the time of the child, all the families had to send their tribute to the village chief's house. If anyone can't pay it, they will inevitably be beaten and mined in the mountains. That's how my son was dragged to work, and he hasn't come back! ”

Knowing that the drum was a urging drum for the villagers to pay tribute, Zhang Liang couldn't help but be angry. "Old man, the village chief has raised a few thugs. Where are those two Danshi?! ”

Seeing that Zhang Liang inquired in such detail, the old man hurriedly asked, "Childe, what are you doing?" And don't be reckless! If they find out about your existence, it is not a pity that my old man will die in his old age, but you will be caught by them and work in the mountains to death! ”

Seeing that the old man was still worried about his safety until this time, Zhang Liang was very grateful. "Old man, just tell me. It has its own measure under it. “

The old man saw that Zhang Liang insisted on wanting to know, so he had to tell the truth. "There are ten thugs in the village chief's house, all of whom came to the village chief shortly after Danshi came. It looks like an old friend of the village chief. The two Danshi lived in the temple halfway up the mountain, and there were also ten thugs in the temple, who were responsible for supervising the work in the mountain. All the elixirs were sent to pick them up and distribute them to us. Except for those who went up to the mountain to work, none of the villagers could see those two! ”

Hearing that there were ten people in the village, Zhang Liang decided to deal with the thugs in the village first. Seeing that it was almost time, he hurriedly entered Zhang Yun's sleeping room and woke up the other party. Then he asked sharply: "Zhang Yun, have you ever been to this village when you were inspecting?" ”

Zhang Yun was asleep, and was suddenly woken up by Zhang Liang, and when he heard the other party's question, he immediately replied: "Childe, I have never been to this village." If we hadn't taken a break today, we wouldn't have stayed here, and I would have gone directly to the county seat that day. ”

Knowing that Zhang Yun had not come to this village, Zhang Liang wanted to count his inconsiderate work, but at this time he had no intention of thinking about this matter, because he felt that it was the top priority to deal with this group of cult people first. "How many people can you deal with at a time?"

Seeing that Zhang Liang's topic changed a little quickly, Zhang Yun didn't keep up with the rhythm for a while. After pondering for a while, he replied firmly: "As long as you are not very skilled, the small one can deal with three or four people at a time!" ”

After getting an accurate answer, Zhang Liang immediately pulled him to the old man's side, and then said urgently: "Old man, I see that the situation in your family is no longer able to pay the tribute that the other party wants?!" Here's a suggestion to save you from a beating! “

Hearing that the other party had a way, the old man hurriedly asked, "Childe, do you have a way?" ”

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, and then said in a low voice: "You just need to take the two of us to the village chief's house, and say that we are your distant nephews and come to seek refuge with you." Volunteer to work in the mountains. ”

Hearing that Zhang Liang and the others were going to enter the mountain voluntarily, the old man hurriedly refused: "No!" I can't send you into the hands of those people, Childe, you don't know how good they are. I have seen with my own eyes that those who were beaten to death by them because they could not bear the work were buried in the mountains. If it weren't for the fear that they would have poisoned me, I would have informed the villagers about it. Originally, I planned to say this in front of everyone when I paid tribute next time, but I never thought that it would be today. I think you'd better run away. ”

Zhang Liang heard at this time that the old man was planning to fight with the other party tonight, so in order not to let the old man lose his life in vain, he hurriedly said: "Old man, I asked you to hand us over to them, in fact, to help you." Can you trust me once? Anyway, you're planning to reveal their crimes tonight, so why don't you let the two of you help you? Maybe we'll be able to take them by surprise and take them down in one fell swoop! ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, the old man immediately fell silent. In fact, he himself knew that the villagers were controlled by the other party with drugs, and he couldn't count on them at all, and even if he knew about their evil deeds, it was difficult for them to resist. Seeing that Zhang Liang and the others wanted to help him, he was a little shaken.

Seeing that the old man was silent, Zhang Liang immediately whispered to Zhang Yun: "Yun, I don't have time to talk to you in detail, I will go to the place to watch my actions in a while." Once Lao Tzu does it, you will give me a dead hand. I just need the village chief to live! ”

Zhang Yun has long been accustomed to Zhang Liang's style of acting, and he is also accustomed to this kind of order with a head and no tail. At the same time, he asked urgently: "Childe, the little one knows!" But which one is the village chief? What if you accidentally kill it?! ”

Hearing Zhang Yun's question, Zhang Liang just smiled slightly, and then replied coldly: "Not guilty!" ”

After receiving Zhang Liang's instructions, Zhang Yun no longer had any doubts.

When the old man heard the conversation between the two, he instantly began to re-examine the two. At this time, he began to speculate about the identities of these people, because he vaguely felt that they were by no means ordinary passers-by!

Just when the old man was still guessing the identities of Zhang Liang and Zhang Yun, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Xibo, are you at home?" It's time to go to the village chief's house, so let's go together. ”

As soon as the old man saw someone calling him, he knew that it was too late to let Zhang Liang and the others go at this time. But he still had a grudge against Zhang Liang's proposal and didn't want to harm the two of them.

Zhang Liang learned that the old man's name was Xibo, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Xibo, it's too late to retreat now." Just promise me. After saying that, without waiting for Xibo to answer, he went directly to the door and opened the door.

After the door opened, I saw a young man standing outside the house, and when the other party saw Zhang Liang, he immediately exclaimed, "Why are you?" Why are you at the Xibo house?! (To be continued.) )
