Chapter 019: Dead Duck Has a Hard Mouth
Er Laizi cried with a sad face: "Patriarch, Wen Jing's daughter-in-law Gong Liu seduced me to her house and married her in Longshan, and I went as promised." Unexpectedly, she secretly set a trap, so that her mother-in-law and son lurked around, and while I was not paying attention, her son Gong Laoxue raised a knife and cut off my wrist......"
"Er Laizi, how old is the old learner?" The patriarch grimaced and said sternly, "I'm afraid you were the one who hurt people first and wanted the lives of others." β
"I don't even dare to pinch an ant to death, how dare I kill someone?" Erlaizi quibbled.
"Nonsense! As far as I know, Gong Liu has always adhered to women's morals, and the old man did not listen to the villagers say that she was immoral. The patriarch spoke, "But you are a pig killer, doing everything you can to steal chickens and dogs, climb over the wall and cross the house, and harass women, and the villagers have a lot to say ......about you."
"Patriarch, don't spew blood, you are hearsay, do you have any evidence?" Er Laizi held his head high and said that there was a situation where a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and he thought that the patriarch didn't know his details and troubles, and he didn't plan to tell the truth at all.
"Erlaizi, don't talk to this old guy. We're here tonight, we don't have time to talk to him, and tomorrow morning I have to go to Jiang's house to kill pigs for others!" The stuffy gourd Da Laizi finally spoke, "Old guy, you said that this Gong Liu family designed to harm my brother, the most poisonous woman's heart, what do you say to deal with her?" β
"Da Laizi, you are not at the scene, just based on your brother's words, let me punish Gong Liu, I am afraid that everyone will not accept it. This family rule is to maintain the normal order of the family, punish the evil and promote the good, not to protect the bad. Whoever is justified and who is responsible is at fault has his own judgment. The patriarch said as he tapped his cane on the floor.
"Old thing, did you accept Gong Liu's copper, why do you keep talking to her?" Da Laizi's eyes widened and he said to the patriarch.
"Da Laizi, you are an old guy on the left and a thing on the right, do you have any upbringing?" The patriarch raised his cane and knocked Da Laizi's head hard, "It's not big or small, I'm two generations older than your grandfather, and the old thing is also what you called?" β
"Old guy, my grandfather has been dead for more than ten years, and my father has been dead for a few years, and I never know what etiquette is. If you don't do justice to us today, we'll smash your house!" β
"If you want to coerce the old man to comply, go dream!" The patriarch was unmoved.
"Smash me!" Da Laizi waved his hand, and the third and fourth Laizi took out the axes pinned to their waists, rushed to the hall, and then smashed them ping-pong.
"Something's wrong, someone's comingβ" The patriarch shouted outside the gate when he saw that the situation was not good.
It happened that the chief of the security guard also went to the outside of the courtyard with more than a dozen young juniors, and when he heard that the patriarch was in danger, he rushed in with a few juniors with muskets, fired a shot into the sky, and shouted: "Stop me, or I'll shoot!" β
Sanlaizi and Silaizi, who were smashing things, got into a whim, and didn't listen to the warning of the security chief, and continued to chop the furniture in the hall and room, without the intention of stopping, Silaizi smashed the oil lamp with an axe and slashed at the shrine.
"Si Laizi is too presumptuous!" Gong Wencheng, who was standing in the attic, couldn't bear it, aimed at Si Laizi's hand, pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet flew over, piercing his palm, and the axe fell to the floor with a "clang".
Immediately, Si Laizi squatted on the ground, holding his bloody palm and howled: "My hand-" Si Laizi heard the gunshot, and quickly stopped smashing.
"Who fired the shot?" Da Laizi grabbed the chief and quickly put the axe across his neck, "Put down the gun for me, or I'll cut his throat!" β
"You can't do it the other way around!" The patriarch shouted, and all the muskets were pointed at Da Laizi and formed a circle.
The chief was trained in the military, and he could hear the shot clearly just now, it was fired from the attic, and although he was choked by the throat by the big laizi, he did not show extreme panic.
"Bao Chang, if you want to live, let your people be honest with me!" Da Laizi held the chief of the guard hostage and retreated while talking, and when he reached the ground of the patio, the young man with the musket also followed, but he didn't dare to shoot, they were afraid of hurting the chief of the guard.
"Da Laizi, put down your axe, there is something to discuss." The patriarch shouted.
"Discuss yarn, old thing. If I had put down the axe, I wouldn't have been shot to death by you! Da Laizi continued to retreat, and the whole person happened to be exposed to Gong Wencheng's gun.
Gong Changyu saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly urged Gong Wencheng to say: "Eighth uncle, this guy is crazy, hurry up and shoot!" β
"There are only two bullets left, so I can save money. Besides, hasn't the patriarch waved his hand yet? Gong Wencheng hesitated, and suddenly the patriarch raised his cane high, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.
"Eighth uncle, the patriarch has issued a code, and he wants you to shoot!" Gong Changyu gently pulled the corner of Gong Wencheng's clothes.
"Good!" Without thinking, Gong Wencheng aimed at Da Laizi's shoulder, pulled the trigger, the gun rang out, and hit Da Laizi, and then his shoulder shook, and the axe slipped from his hand and fell under his feet.
When it was too late, several young people who did not have guns rushed up, wrenches and legs, and soon pressed Da Lai's bullet to the ground and could not move, and Da Laizi was subdued in this way. But he was still shouting: "Who shot the black gun?" I have to kill your whole family! β
The patriarch stepped forward, looked at Da Laizi tepidly, and pierced the crutches with a sonorous sound: "Dead duck is still hard-mouthed!" Tonight, a few of your brothers stormed my house, and you are going to blackmail the security chief, are you guilty? β
"We have no sin...... Old fellow, you forced us to do this. Erlaizi has been injured like this, are you still blindly biased towards Gong Liu, like a patriarch? Da Laizi's eyes were on fire.
"I, the patriarch, were elected by everyone to uphold justice for everyone. For more than 20 years, I have not used my power for personal gain, I have never been partial to anyone, I have acted right, I stand straight, and I am not afraid of shadows. The patriarch said confidently.
"What the patriarch said is very true. On March day, my buffalo was gone, and the patriarch brought it back to me, and he didn't ask for a tael of my silver. An old lady said as she tugged at the placket of her clothes.
"My wife was very sick in May, and I didn't have the money for treatment for a while. The patriarch was kind-hearted and personally sent me a sum of money to cure my mother's illness, and the patriarch was a good man. A black-faced post-mortem clenched his fists and said.
"A landlord in Drumtang and I had a dispute over the mountains and forests, and it was also the patriarch who invited the master, won the lawsuit, and took back the mountains and forests that should have belonged to me, and he never had a meal or a sip of tea at my house." A man with a goatee and round glasses clenched his fist and said......
