Chapter 146: The Rabble
Gui Niang watched Sheng Mingyi and the others leaving, hiding in the kitchen and secretly anxious, looking back and forth through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window a few times, but she didn't dare to go out.
Sheng Mingyi went out of the door, didn't take a few steps, and the quiet village where there was no one suddenly became noisy, and then with a few of them as the center, more than a dozen people appeared around at once, Sheng Mingzhu looked at it, it should be all people from the village, and the strong man who entertained them just now was also among them.
It seems that it is fake to go to find someone to help, and it is true to secretly gather people to besiege.
More than a dozen people were dressed in shabby clothes, their eyes were green, and they looked like hungry wolves.
Sheng Mingyi took a step forward and protected Sheng Mingzhu behind him, and the two sisters Xia Yu and Xia Xue also made a vigilant gesture at the same time, and the other well-trained guards who followed were around.
Lisuo's posture and powerful movements frightened the villagers who gathered around him to take a few steps back.
Deterrence is far from the torture of hunger, and now everyone can leave behind everything for a bite to eat, humanity, morality, shame, etc.
"Guys, what's going on?"
Sheng Mingyi's eyes burst with cold light, and instead of retreating, he advanced instead, and took the long sword handed over by the attendant in his hand, and the sword body slid out of the scabbard, making a piercing sound.
The cold blade glowed with a chill.
He went further, and the villagers on the other side stepped back, but no one dispersed.
"A few nobles, the old man doesn't want to embarrass you, but God is forcing people, and the dog officials in the court don't treat us as human beings, so they have to wronged you, as long as you hand over the materials in the convoy, we will let you go."
The old man who shouted was half of his body almost in the ground, his gray beard was messy, and he was holding a machete for chopping wood in his hand, and his body was hunched, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit.
"I've handed over the things to you, how can we people live."
"How you live is your business, it's none of our business, hurry up and hand over the things, when you dog officials do something, they won't force us to this point." Someone in the crowd shouted.
"What nonsense, it's better to arrest them all, they are like this, they are either rich or expensive, let them go may be to let the tiger return to the mountain, when the government comes, everyone in the village will not be able to escape."
"That's the truth, these people don't have a good thing, they eat and drink spicy, and they watch us starve to death."
The dog daddy standing next to the village chief didn't speak, but his facial expressions showed his hatred in the same way.
Not only that, but the women who had stayed in the house and did not come out heard the sound, and they also came out with forks and knives, and surrounded them firmly.
"Didn't the second family say that they used drugs to knock down a few first? How come there is nothing at all. β
"I don't know, I asked Gui Niang to do it just now, I guess they were too cunning and didn't fall for it."
"Don't be afraid, so many of us can't get a few of them, we have to die sooner or later, rather than starve to death, it's better to fight!"
Sheng Mingyi heard their conversation in his ears, and couldn't help but sneer, "Lao Tzu has lived for so long, and it's the first time I've seen someone dare to ask for my life in front of me. β
"Village chief, you stand back, let's go up, it's rare to meet a fat sheep, we can't let them run away."
As soon as the words fell, the villagers who surrounded them rushed up without fear of death.
"Protect the son and the lady."
Sheng Mingyi's side still had some scruples about them, after all, the people who could almost wipe out the dozen or so guards who escorted Meng Zhaoyue's convoy must not be underestimated, but after a few strokes, they felt that something was wrong.
These villagers relied entirely on brute strength, without any tricks to speak of, and they didn't even have a decent weapon in their hands, hoes, machetes, and forks fluttered wildly, and the scene was chaotic, and even many villagers fell directly under their own hands.
Some of the women in the outer circle dared to rush up without fear of death, some were so frightened that they cried before they could do anything, and some were so frightened that they sat on the ground and did not dare to move when they saw their heads of their houses falling.
The sword in Sheng Mingyi's hand was not unsheathed, and he was directly laughed at by these villagers.
With such a little ability, you want to hold them hostage?
Sheng Mingyi didn't even use his sword, he directly kicked away the people in front of him with his feet, a few dodged, and crossed to the outermost village chief, the long sword came out horizontally, put it on his neck, and shouted at the villagers who were scuffling around: "If you want this old guy to live, stop me." β
There was chaos all around, and the cries and shouts of killing were intertwined, and no one could hear them.
No one even shouted twice, Sheng Mingyi simply didn't shout, and directly held the old village chief hostage, standing aside to watch the play, these villagers who don't know the height of the sky, they really need someone to clean up and teach a lesson.
Sheng Mingyi's attendants are all carefully selected and skilled, and these villagers are their opponents.
In less than a stick of incense, there was a crowd of people on the ground who were screaming, these people couldn't lose their lives, but this living crime would have to endure for a few days.
Seeing that everyone in the field had calmed down, and no one dared to shout without self-determination, Sheng Mingyi asked the old village chief to step forward and stand in the middle of everyone.
"If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, my old man has already lived enough, and staying in this world with this breath is also a sin."
The old village chief looked around and saw that the villagers were all lying down, sighed helplessly, shook his head, closed his eyes, and was ready to lose his life.
Sheng Mingyi looked angry and said angrily: "It's not so easy to die. β
"You are a person who is buried in the soil with half of your body, you can use your own hands, and your hands are dirty, as the head of a village, you are immoral and incompetent, and you actually led the villagers of your village to do the work of bandits, you are really good! The faces of dozens of generations of ancestors have been lost to you. β
Someone at the bottom disagreed, stiffened his neck, and roared: "You pampered young ladies don't know what kind of life we are living in, if we are not forced to do something that is damned." β
"Look around here, there are still people, and you know how many people have starved to death in the ten miles and eight towns around here this winter."
"Who cares if we live or die, and we all deserve to die?"
These words seemed to pierce the hearts of all the villagers present, and the voices of angry accusations came and went.
Sheng Mingyi had a cold face, seeing that they didn't stop for a long time, he stepped on the hands of the people next to him with expressionless faces, and squeaked, and the screams of pain instantly overshadowed everyone's voices.
Then, at this moment, everyone felt like they were choked by the neck, and no one dared to speak out again.
"If you don't want to die, shut up."
"Say, besides us, who have you robbed, if you dare to make up a fool with me, I will chop off a finger of whomever I want."
