Chapter 58: Sincerity

In less than half an hour, all the people from Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village came out of Zhoujia Village.

Under the leadership of their patriarch, they were divided into three groups, and they stood in a neat and quiet line, looking extremely well-behaved.

At the same time, the two old ladies of the clan that Zhou Yuandong relied on led all the villagers of Zhoujia Village, followed by the people of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, and all arrived at the entrance of the village.

Among the people walking in front, some of them supported the lightly injured with their arms, some carried the seriously injured on their shoulders, and some worked in pairs, carrying the deceased, and the expressions on their faces were very sad.

Xiao Qiongzhi saw it and hurriedly asked Zheng Bang to put her off her back.

She trotted up to the two old ladies and said softly, "Old lady, please let people go to my house and give me the three pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the five drawers in the main house of my house." ”

"In addition, please take a detailed inventory of the uninjured, lightly injured, seriously injured, and dead clansmen in our village, and let them come to the front, I will ask the people in other villages one by one, who did it, and seek justice for everyone."

"Okay." The two old ladies hurriedly complied.

They all know how much Zhou Yuandong relied on Zhou Dazhi, Zhou Dayong, and Zheng Bang, and no one knew better than them and Zhou Yuandong how many good ideas Xiao Qiongzhi had given to the clan.

They all have great-grandsons and great-granddaughters at Xiao Qiongzhi's house, learning literacy or kung fu from Zhou Dayong and Zheng Bang.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that they usually have little intersection with Xiao Qiongzhi, and they don't show any special kindness and love in front of her, but in their hearts, they all like her very much and are very convinced of her every idea.

"Zhi'er, we have counted, 84 people in our village were slightly injured this time, 9 people were seriously injured, and 17 people died." After a while, one of the old ladies counted the casualties and told Xiao Qiongzhi.

"Okay, thank you, grandpa, I see." Xiao Qiongzhi immediately nodded at the old lady.

She turned around and climbed onto the ox cart, condescendingly, glanced at the people of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, and said loudly: "I believe everyone has listened to the rumors of some people in your village, and knows what we did, promised, and let them do when they met me and my uncle here. ”

"Now, I beseech all of you, who are unwilling to atonement for their merits, who do not believe in us, who do not wish to swear, stand up; Those who are willing to atonement for their crimes, believe in us, and are willing to swear, show your sincerity and swear in public! ”

"Good! Little master, the patriarch of our three villages, we discussed it on the road, and our village swore first! ”

"The emperor is above, and the earth is below, I swear! From now on, I Wang Dafu will treat the people of Zhoujia Village as brothers, and will never bring anyone to rob the grain or betray the people of Zhoujia Village, I am also willing to take the little fortune star branch of Zhoujia Village, as my master, for her to go to the soup and fire, at any cost, if you violate this oath, the sky will hit five thunders, and you will never be able to live forever! The patriarch of Wangjia Village took the lead in swearing.

In the oath, except for the different names of the oathers, the rest of the content is basically the same as the king of learning, copying his oath.

It is estimated that Wang Changjiu specially reminded him in advance.

After all, Xiao Qiongzhi didn't mention that he wanted everyone to treat himself as their master before.

From the very beginning, this oath was specially added by Wang Changjiu himself.

"Little master. We also swear, my king Chang'an......"

"Little master. We also swear that I, the king, will be sincere......"

……

Immediately afterwards, all the people in Wangjia Village swore one after another.

In the oath, except for the name of the person who made the oath, the rest of the content is exactly the same as the oath of their patriarch.

And, presumably, to prove their sincerity, they deliberately swore individually, one by one, in the order in which they stood, and did not give anyone a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Including more than a dozen people who had sworn once before, probably because they were afraid that Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang would not remember them, they also swore again this time.

When the people in Wangjia Village were about to finish their vows, the dog and the stone both came and gave Xiao Qiongzhi the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

It is estimated that the old lady of the clan arranged for them to pick it up.

The two of them were too short, and they were standing in the crowd before, Xiao Qiongzhi didn't notice it at all, and thought that they were hiding in the tunnel at home and didn't come out.

"Zhi'er, these things, you have to save some of them, my mother is watching carefully, and I and my brother are not allowed to waste a drop of ink or a piece of paper." When the dog handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand to Xiao Qiongzhi, he deliberately whispered a word.

"This time the situation is special, it doesn't matter if I use more, don't worry, when Aunt Liu comes back, I will take the initiative to explain it to her." Xiao Qiongzhi comforted softly.

These three sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, one was used by Zhou Dayong at home before, and now it is given to Xiao Qiongzhi for use, and the other two sets are all bought by Liu Wuxiu for dogs and stones.

I have to say, don't look at Liu Wuxiu, who is usually very reluctant to spend money, but she is really willing to spend money for the study of dogs and stones.

Because, there are thirty-two people in the village who came to learn literacy from Zhou Dayong, except for her, the dog, and the stone who have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, in addition, there are only five people who also have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Two are the grandsons of the patriarch's family, one is the great-grandson of an old lady's family, and the other two are Da Niu and Shi Shan.

After the people of Wangjia Village finished swearing, the next step was the patriarch of Liujia Village, leading all the people of Liujia Village to swear.

In the oath, except for the name of the oath-taker, the rest of the content is exactly the same as the oath of the people of Wangjia Village.

In the end, it was the turn of the patriarch of Xujia Village to lead all the people of Xujia Village to swear.

Of course, in the oath, except for the different names of the oathers, the rest of the content is exactly the same as the oath of the people of Wangjia Village.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very satisfied with their performance, and patiently waited for them to finish swearing before saying loudly: "Thank you for your trust and sincerity!" I just asked, and there are 84 people in our village who were slightly injured, 9 people who were seriously injured, and 17 people died! ”

"Although, as I said before, I will persuade my uncle and my village chief and clansmen to forgive all those who did not kill the villagers of our village, but before that, I hope that everyone can show more sincerity from you, so as to get more understanding from our village patriarch and clansmen."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at the patriarchs of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, picked up a few pieces of paper in the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone sent by the dog and stone, and raised them up.

Then, he said: "Patriarchs, please find a person in your village who can write and write, and accompany you to count: first, who in your village has beaten the people of our Zhoujia Village, and second, how many people have been slightly injured and how many people have been seriously injured; 3. Is the person who hit someone willing to apologize and compensate for the injured? ”

"Little master, in the future, if there is anything, even if you command, you don't have to be polite to me!" It was the patriarch of Wangjia Village who took the lead in expressing his position and immediately did so.

However, the patriarchs of Xujia Village and Liujia Village, this time, were also unambiguous and immediately did so.
