Chapter 9: The Origin of the Dao

As a native of Chenliu, Dian Wei was familiar with the surrounding roads, so he immediately commanded the carriage to avoid the avenues, and took some small roads to avoid the officials who might be chasing.

When night came, the carriage left the county town of Chenliu and came to a remote mountain village, where he stayed in an old farmer's house.

The old farmer has two sons, the eldest son has not returned from the army, and the second son and daughter-in-law are working carpenters in the county town and have not yet returned.

Therefore, he was afraid that the second son would suddenly come back and have no place to rest, so he arranged for everyone to live in the eldest son's room.

The three of them discussed and decided, with the Caiya sisters sleeping on the bed and Wang Jun and the three sleeping on the ground.

It happened to be summer, and for Wang Jun and Dian Wei, it was enough to have a cool mat, but considering that Xi Zhicai was not in good health, Wang Jun took the thin quilt he bought in Yingchuan to cover him.

After a day's carriage ride, the Caiya sisters were already sleepy and soon fell asleep.

The light of the oil lamp, though dim, was enough to illuminate the room, and the three of them sat on the floor.

Wang Jun looked at Dian Wei's somewhat fierce face under the light, and asked, "Dian Zhuangshi, dare to ask, why did the strong man kill people on the street in Chen Liucheng?" ”

It's not that Wang Jun doesn't know why Dian Wei killed, but he is afraid that if he doesn't explain things clearly, he will make Xi Zhicai feel guilty.

Dian Wei didn't know the hidden story, thinking that if he didn't make this matter clear, maybe Wang Jun would arrest him if he changed hands, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, ready to resist.

However, thinking of Wang Jun's terrifying strength, he immediately relaxed, if Wang Junzhen was. has the idea of arresting him, I am afraid that he has already been taken down by Wang Jun.

Dian Wei's face changed for a while, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "It's not that there is a grudge against Li Yong, but there are other people, and someone else is just helping others." ”

Xi Zhicai was really surprised when he heard it, originally he thought that even if Dian Wei was not a villain, he should be born as a ranger, but now when he heard him say this, it seems that he is neither.

"A certain one is Chen Liuji, who has been taught the method of a halberd since he was a child, so he is a hunter at home."

"When I was a child, my family was poor, thanks to the relief of the head of the Liu family in Xiangyi, so I am very grateful to the Liu family."

"The year before last, Li Yong, the magistrate of Chenliu County, took office, this person was corrupt and bent the law, bullying the people, I didn't want to ask more, after all, he couldn't control a certain head, so he shouldn't know about it."

"But things have changed since last year, when the head of the Liu family suddenly died of a vicious illness, and Li Yong's eyes will be on the Liu family."

"Because the head of the family suddenly left, he left behind his wife and children under the age of one. However, as a large textile family in the city of Liujia Xiangyi, although it has been established for less than 30 years, it has also left a family fortune and more than 500 acres of fertile land. ”

"Soon Li Yong began to find ways to target the Liu family, first ordering people to coerce and lure, and then began to attack the craftsmen, who were either beaten or warned not to do things for the Liu family."

"The Liu family has been able to stand in Xiangyi for more than 30 years, and it has also woven a network of human feelings, so the Liu family personally went to all the big households in Xiangyi City to tell the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and then all the big families put pressure on Li Yong."

"He also asked the family to protect the craftsmen day and night, so Li Yong had no choice but to give up the plot against the Liu family."

Xi Zhicai applauded when he heard this, and praised: "This Liu is quite talented, I really want to see it." ”

After a pause, he asked, "What happened later?" Why are you going to kill Li Yong again, hasn't he already given up plotting against the Liu family? ”

"At the end of last year, a Zhao Xiong appeared out of nowhere and was promoted to county lieutenant by Li Yong. Because of the help of the generals, Li Yong's greedy heart, which had been silent for a long time, resurfaced. ”

"Since the end of the year, Li Yong has sent this Zhao Xiong out with troops many times, and the Liu family has not noticed any disadvantages at the beginning."

"But since the beginning of spring, the Liu family's team transporting fabrics and raw materials has been robbed and burned twice."

"A certain knew that there must be a conspiracy, so he went to Liu's house to warn, and at Liu's request, a certain hid in the escort team to protect the goods."

"The first few back and forth went smoothly, and just when a certain black hand had given up, the convoy was attacked again."

"Because a certain person was also present, this time all the thieves were defeated and arrested, including Zhao Xiong."

"If there is only one person, of course, he will definitely kill Zhao Xiong on the spot without fear, but considering that there are only orphans and widows left in the Liu family, he will warn Zhao Xiong and ask him to bring a message to Li Yong."

"If he dares to provoke the Liu family again in the future, he will come to visit."

Wang Jun nodded and said, "Your idea is very good, but there are some loopholes." Because of your protection, the Liu family can be saved, but once something happens to you, Li Yong will definitely not let go of the Liu family. ”

"I didn't think of this at the time, and a warning was enough." Dian Wei sighed. "A few days ago, a close friend who was a pawn in the county government found me."

"Tell me that when he went to report to Li Yong, he heard Zhao Xiong mention the name of so-and-so, so he hid in the window and eavesdropped."

Zhao Xiong proposed to send someone to sneak into Liu's house, steal Liu's son, and leave a letter for Liu to sell to Li Yong for ten gold. On the other hand, the county soldiers were sent to catch a certain with fishing nets. ”

"Then Li Yong said that after the child was tied, he threatened the child and asked the Liu family to marry him as a concubine."

"At that time, let the Liu family use the Liu family's property as a dowry, so that you can get both people and money, and you can also block the mouths of the people. After a few days, let the child have some accidents, and there was only one Liu left, and he could do whatever he wanted. ”

"There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. So you decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and solve Li Yong's husband and wife in one fell swoop? Wang Jun couldn't help asking.

"Yes, this matter has been planned, as long as I kill Li Yong and his wife and escape from the city, no one will dare to persecute the Liu family anymore." Dian Wei blurted out and said. "As long as the news of my death is not transmitted back to Chen Liu, those forces or families who have thoughts about the Liu family will have to be careful of a certain family in the shadows."

Wang Jun couldn't help but glance at Xi Zhicai, only to see that Xi Zhicai looked appreciative, and said: "The heroes are really heroes, and they should be white." ”

"I don't know where to go next?" Wang Jun asked.

"I'm going to hide for a few more days and see what the limelight is on." Dian Wei pondered and replied.

Then, he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to call me any strong man, just call me by my name." ”

Wang Jun nodded and said, "I don't know the classics... Wei: Who else is in your family? ”

Dian Wei thought that he had said everything about the killing of the official, and he would know about the affairs of the family as long as he inquired a little, and he did not hesitate, and said: "There is still a wife who has just passed through the door at home." ”

Xi Zhicai's heart moved, and after careful consideration, he said: "Did you arrange more wives before you killed Li Yong?" With Li Yong's family power, it should be easy to find your family. ”

Dian Wei laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Xi is right, since a certain plan to kill Li Yong, I asked a friend to escort my wife as soon as possible and send her here tomorrow." ”

"Not to mention the remoteness of this place, it is also where my wife's mother's house is."

"Aren't you afraid that the county soldiers will come here to arrest you?" Wang Jun looked at Dian Wei curiously and asked.

Dian Wei waved his hand and said proudly: "Of course I'm not afraid, this old man's house is a place that he has found with many efforts." From here, you can see the situation of Azuma's maiden village, and there is a mountain behind it, so if I feel that something is wrong, I can run into the mountain. ”

The three of them chatted and chatted, and before they knew it, it was late at night, Wang Jun said: "Rest early, you guys, there will be a battle tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, it's time to sleep." Xi Zhicai said.

Wang Jun walked to the oil lamp and gently blew out the oil lamp, and suddenly the room fell into darkness.
