Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rumors and Trouble
Feng Jian saw the seriously injured Xu Ma Gang being escorted and hurried into the stockade.
The arrows on Xu Ma Bang's body penetrated through the chest and abdomen, and according to the medical skills at this time, Xu Ma Bang was almost certain to die.
Feng Jian was a little sad and a little worried. Since he came to Huluyan, he has only met with the Xu Ma Gang a few times. But every time they met, Xu Mabang was still full of care and encouragement for himself, which made Feng Jian very moved.
Feng Jian was worried that once Xu Mabang died, the more than 4,000 villagers in the cottage would be unstable, and this time the cottage guards suffered heavy casualties, and there would be chaos in the cottage if they were not careful.
Now among the five leaders of the cottage, only Hu Dadao and Jiang San'er remain, and I don't know which of these two will succeed Xu Ma Gang as the new commander of Huluyan. Of course, it is best for Hu Dadao to take over as the commander, and he and Hu Dadao were born and died together twice, and Hu Dadao became the commander of the most what he wanted to see.
Feng Jian stood on the wall of Huluyan Wall, Huang Fuchun and other twenty-five guards stood around the wall, Huang Fuchun was a little dissatisfied and said to Feng Jian: "Our own post is now reduced to a special guard post for guarding the gate of the village, guarding the gate in the Shi family, and we will continue to guard the gate when we return to Huluyan." Hey, when you go up the mountain, you are short and crowded! ”
Feng Jian glanced at Huang Fuchun, he knew that the guards around him were dissatisfied with his current situation, so he sighed and said: "I know that my brothers are tired and tired, but I am more tired than my brothers, and now I just want to find a stable place to sleep." But no, don't say anything else, just say that this gourd rock is now a place for everyone and their families to settle down, in case it is occupied by the thieves from the outer peak, the consequences are clear to everyone. Let's work hard now to ensure that the wall is not invaded by the thieves from the outer peaks, and the place where we and our families can live will not be encroached upon. The brothers worked hard in the middle of the night, and we evacuated the gate as soon as it was dawn. ”
Huang Fuchun is a straightforward man, he said: "We think that the cottage is a little unfair to us, but we listen to the little flag official." Behind him, many of the guards also nodded.
Maybe the thieves of the two peaks of Mocone Mountain, Sow Ridge, feel that it is difficult to capture the Huluyan Zhai Gate in a hurry; Maybe the two peaks thieves are hiding in the shadows and preparing for a sneak attack. After that, in the middle of the night, there was a quiet place outside the door of Huluyan Village, and there was no trace of the thieves from the two peaks.
……
In the early morning, a shocking news came unexpectedly: the commander Xu Ma Gang died of his injuries......
Immediately after that, rumors spread in the cottage, and some people swore that it was Hu Dadao who deliberately delayed the treatment time of Commander Xu, and even the arrows on Commander Xu were not allowed to be taken out by Dr. Shen, causing the Commander to die of his injuries, and he himself stole the position of the Commander.
Some people also said that Hu Dadao was nepotistic, turning a blind eye to the merits of the old brothers of the cottage such as Jiang Chief, and specially promoted his own henchmen.
Some people also say that after Hu Dadao became the commander of Huluyan, no matter the old and young in the village, they had to pay the cottage grain per head, and the cottage grain handed over by each household in the cottage will be doubled in the future.
Rumors spread quickly among the cottage villagers, rumors and gossip have always spread very quickly, and most of the cottage villagers have heard that it seems that Hu Dadao deliberately acted in retrograde ways in order to compete for the position of the leader of the cottage.
For a while, people in Huluyan were panicked, and people were full of suspicion about each other, and there were even suspicions about whether Hu Dadao would clean up those who were against him next.
Most of the villagers didn't know what was going on at the top of the cottage, and they heard early in the morning that Commander Xu was no longer dead! Immediately after the rumors came, the shocked Zhuang people easily believed that it was indeed Hu Dadao who killed Commander Xu and wanted to bring disadvantage to himself.
The Huluyan Zhuang people were full of shock, sadness, and anger, and under the instigation and guidance of Jiang San'er and his gang, they rushed to the cottage meeting hall, they wanted to see Commander Xu for the last time, and they wanted to ask why Hu Dadao was so ruthless to kill Commander Xu, why they wanted to collect more cottage grain!
Many women and old people wept bitterly for the loss of Xu Da's leadership, and many people in the crowd cursed Hu Dadao's ruthlessness and injustice, but many more people were pale, just blindly following the steps of others and rushing to the square.
Yu Man and other Jiang San'er's henchmen kept fanning the flames and sowing discord in the crowd, and there were more Zhuang households living together, and the crowd became more and more angry.
Rumors are gradually fermenting, and it seems that they are about to turn into a storm, and the situation is getting out of control......
Of course, Jiang San'er and his gang were secretly happy about the incident they had created, and as long as the chaos continued, their goal would be achieved.
Of course, some people are happy and some people are worried, and Hu Dadao, who was in the dark at this time, was dealing with the aftermath of the Xu Ma Gang at this time in front of the sickbed.
To be honest, Hu Dadao has been spending the night in excitement and sadness, and he never imagined that he would be able to sit in the position of the leader of the cottage before tonight.
Suddenly, he became the commander in charge of the life and death of more than 4,000 people in Huluyan, and it felt like floating in the clouds, dizzy, and as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe it.
At this moment, the commander Xu Dadao, who gave himself a chance, was lying on the sickbed without life, Hu Dadao felt a burst of sadness in his heart from time to time, he clenched his fists, all this is not a dream, he has become the commander of Huluyan, in charge of the life and death of more than 4,000 villagers in the cottage!
He also knew that as soon as he took over the cottage and immediately adjusted the high-level positions of the cottage, he would definitely mobilize the interests of some people, and these people would definitely not accept his dispatch honestly.
Hmph, in the future, these people are honestly fine, if you don't listen to the dispatch, then don't blame the commander for turning his face and not recognizing people!
There was no warning signal from the direction of the gate this night, it seems that the thieves of the two peaks did not take the opportunity to sneak attack the cottage, Hu Dadao's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and the cottage can calmly deal with any intruder after tonight.
Presumably, the news of the death of the Great Commander Xu has spread! Hu Dadao glanced at Xu Yannian, who was kneeling in front of the spirit of the Xu Ma Gang, after the Xu Ma Gang lost his breath, he kept kneeling on the ground without moving, as if his life had left with the Xu Ma Gang, leaving only a body without a shell.
Hu Dadao is naturally not like Xu Yannian, although he is sad about the death of the Xu Ma Gang, there are still many things that need to be taken care of personally.
He planned to squint for a while, and when the sky was bright and the leaders of the cottage had gathered, he would have the spirit to discuss the aftermath of Commander Xu.
Until now, he had no idea that a conspiracy was brewing against him.
Hu Dadao was squinting and thinking, when suddenly a guard on duty ran in from outside the council hall, and he pointed to the outside of the council hall with a panicked face: "Commander Hu...... Commander Hu, take a look, outside the house...... A large number of villagers came to the square outside the house, and they were rushing towards the council hall. ”
Hu Dadao squinted and didn't care at first, and then quickly opened his eyes with a shock: "What, a large number of people poured into the council hall?" He didn't have time to pay attention to the guards and rushed to the outside of the hospital room......
………………
Feng Jian led people on duty at the gate last night to lead the guards of his post to remove the gate of the village at dawn, returned to his own home, and after chatting with his mother for a while, he lay down on the kang with his clothes, and after a while, he snored like thunder.
Feng's mother took off the cloth shoes on her feet for her son in pain, and picked up the pu fan to fan her son, while carefully studying her son's eyebrows, her son's tall nose bridge is like a deceased family member, and his slightly oval face has some of his own young shadow.
In the past two years, my son has grown a lot taller, taller than the average person. Ay! The son has a future, and as a mother, he also has a light on his face.
The ancestors of the old Feng family blessed, and the inspector was working outside, and everything was safe.
When Jian'er woke up, he had to warn him not to be too reckless in everything, and Feng's mother was very relieved to look at her sleeping son.
The old Feng family is a lone seedling, and they must talk about a family matter for the inspector as soon as possible, and breed incense for the Feng family.
For Feng's mother, telling Feng Jian about a family matter now is a top priority.
But when she first arrived at the cottage, everything had not settled down, and her son had been prevaricating, but Feng's mother could only be anxious in her heart for the time being, and there was no other way to do it, which became a burden on the old man's heart.
The daughter of Wang Lao Wu's family next door is stocky, working in the fields, and doing housework at home is a good hand, but her face is a little rougher, but such a woman is best to give birth! No, in a few days, the matchmaker will come to the door to talk and make peace! Mother Feng stared at her son's face and made a calculation in her heart.
As soon as he slept until noon, the tension and fatigue disappeared, and Feng Jian felt unbearable hunger in his stomach, and he expected that his mother had already prepared the meal.
Rubbing the corners of his eyes with his hands, he walked to the hall and saw his mother talking softly to Su Su's mother, with a little panic and worry on her face.
Feng Jian didn't care, there were always some Zhang family members among the women who wanted to talk, and when they came forward to see the ceremony, they sat down at the table to prepare for the meal, and Su Su's mother quickly said goodbye and left when she saw this.
Mother Feng sat next to Feng Jian and blamed: "Eat slowly, don't choke!" ”
Feng Jian promised in his mouth, but the speed of eating was still unabated.
After taking a sip of the mushroom soup, Feng Jian found that his mother was stunned, and she didn't keep chattering while constantly putting food in her bowl like she usually said.
Feng Jian said strangely: "Mother, your face is not good, what happened?" ”
"Alas! Let's eat first, just now Su Suniang came to say that Commander Xu had passed away, and many people in the village flocked to the council hall. ”
Saying that, he asked with a worried face: "Inspector, do you honestly tell Wei Niang if Leader Hu killed Commander Xu?" ”
Although he knew that Commander Xu would eventually die, Feng Jian was still shocked in his heart, and said, "Who is spreading rumors and making trouble?" How could Commander Hu kill Commander Xu? Mother, what's going on? ”
Feng Jianniang said: "Su Suniang came here, this morning there were rumors everywhere in the cottage that Commander Hu deliberately delayed Commander Xu's healing in order to seize the position of Commander, so that Commander Xu died. I heard Su Suniang say that many people from the village flocked to the meeting hall! Hey, how could you say that such a good person as Commander Hu could do such a thing! ”
The more Feng Jian listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he anxiously asked his mother: "Su Su Niang said that all the villagers in the village have flocked to the council hall, how long has this been a thing?" ”
"Mother, a woman's house, go and inquire about these things! It was Su Su Niang who came to ask if Wei Niang would go to the council hall to see the excitement, and Wei Niang knew this. ”
