Chapter 720: Defend to the Death
The fishermen's village was blocked by the townspeople's residents, who were like the crowds of the former world demonstrations, pulling up banners and shouting slogans to punish the murderers, and even the villagers of the fishermen's village joined in, and the fear of the Zhang family and Lu Qinglong made them only want to punish Ling Xiu and appease the anger of the Zhang family.
"Punish the murderer!"
"Ling Xiu, get out of here!"
"Calamity, you are not welcome in the fishermen's village, if you still have the slightest conscience, commit suicide and apologize, don't wait for us to do it."
A shrill shout rang out, and the crowd was excited, as if they represented justice and crusaded against evil.
Ling Xiu walked out of the house, closed the door tightly, and swept his gaze indifferently over these people one by one, and the sound of crusade slowly stopped. He saw several familiar faces watching from a distance, it was Yun Baiyu, Li Yong, and Xia Mengting, as well as a group of Lu Weijun in uniform dark green uniforms.
He knew that this crusade against him was not arranged by these three people, and the reason why they were here may be because they were worried that there would be some huge chaos, so they stood up at the right time to stop it.
"Ling Xiu, you have finally come out, come with us to Zhang's house to apologize to Master Zhang and ask him to forgive you for your crimes!" A middle-aged man stood up from the crowd and pointed at Ling Xiu and shouted loudly.
"That's right, you take responsibility for your own mistakes, don't affect us."
"Only when you die can Master Zhang's anger be calmed."
"Come with us to Zhang's house to apologize."
Everyone present glared angrily, as if they wanted to crush Ling Xiu's bones and scatter ashes.
Ling Xiu laughed, a mocking smile, a cold smile, and at this moment, the temperature of the entire space seemed to drop several degrees out of thin air.
Everyone felt a chill for no reason, and the voice slowly stopped, and the middle-aged man who had just spoken pointed at him and shouted angrily: "What are you laughing at?" Come with us and apologize to the Zhang family! ”
"What can you do if I don't go?" Ling Xiu spoke coldly, his eyes full of provocation.
"If you don't go, we'll tie you up ourselves!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said angrily.
As soon as the words fell, more than thirty sturdy men walked out of the crowd, holding hemp ropes the thickness of their thumbs in their hands, staring at Ling Xiu with extremely unkind faces.
Ling Xiu laughed angrily, shook his head and sneered: "Innocent! ”
In the next second, the figure was phantasmagorized, like a gust of wind, leaving an afterimage, and in an instant, it swept a distance of three or four meters, and suddenly arrived in front of the middle-aged man, his right hand stiffened into a claw, and grabbed the middle-aged man's collar. With his right arm raised slightly, the middle-aged man's feet left the ground, and a frightened look appeared on his face.
This kind of change happened too quickly, it was really in the light of light, these people didn't have any mental preparation at all, they were so shocked that they subconsciously took a few steps back, their faces were panicked, and they thought in horror: Why is this guy's speed so fast!
"You...... What are you doing? Let me go! The middle-aged man didn't dare to take a breath and said in panic.
Ling Xiu's face had a hint of banter: "Do you know that there is a word called killing a hundred people?" ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face turned pale with fright, and he struggled violently, but it was in vain, he couldn't break free from Ling Xiu's control at all: "Don't mess around, I'm ...... I'm the mayor of the town, if you dare to kill me, there will be no place for you on Biluo Island! ”
"Huh...... I even dare to kill Zhang Weidong, do you think your life is more expensive than him? Ling Xiu sneered.
"You ......"
The middle-aged man was in a cold sweat, he saw the kind of killing intent that made people cold to the bone from Ling Xiu's eyes, and he knew very well that his life was hanging by a thread now.
"Save the mayor!"
As soon as someone from the more than thirty sturdy men who had stood up earlier shouted, a group of people immediately pounced on Ling Xiu.
"Bang~"
A piercing sound of fire rang out, making people subconsciously stop all movements.
Two columns of land guards squeezed through the crowd and surrounded the thirty or so able-bodied men.
"Captain Yun, what are you doing here?" Yun Baiyu, who had rushed over from the big man who had shouted earlier, asked.
"Stop your stupidity." Yun Bai Yu replied sonorously.
Ling Xiu glanced at him and felt that Yun Bai Yu seemed to be a little different today.
"Stupidity?"
The big man sneered, "We are doing this to appease the anger of the Zhang family, so that Biluo Island can avoid this disaster, how is it stupid?" Could it be that Captain Yun has accepted some benefits from this surnamed Ling, and wants to ignore the safety of Biluo Island? ”
"Smack~"
Xia Mengting stepped forward and slapped him: "Shut your stinky mouth, dare to say one more insulting word to Brother Bai Yu, I will kill you!" ”
The fire gun aimed directly at the big man.
In the face of the swarthy muzzle, even if the big man was unwilling in his heart, he could only endure it.
Yun Baiyu didn't pay attention to this big man, but looked at everyone, raised his arms and shouted: "Fellow villagers, in the past few years, the Zhang family has been wantonly bullying everyone in the fish and meat village all day long because of their backs to Lu Qinglong's pirates, don't you hate them in your hearts?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone lowered their heads gloomily, how could they not hate the Zhang family, they couldn't wait for the Zhang family to die.
However, Lu Qinglong made them unable to rise to the slightest courage to resist, compared to hating the Zhang family, they cared more about their lives, their wives and children, once Lu Qinglong personally landed on Biluo Island, they would face killing, is the separation of their wives, in this situation, they can only stand on the side of the Zhang family, in order to protect themselves.
Yun Baiyu said softly: "The crimes accumulated by the Zhang family over the years are already enough to sentence them to death, Zhang Weidong's death is not a pity, Ling Xiu is not wrong, he just did something that we Lu Weijun dare not do."
Folks, it's our Lu Weijun who is useless, so that the pirates are reckless, and only then do the Zhang family make a fortune on Biluo Island, I am here, on behalf of all the Lu Weijun, I apologize to the villagers, I have made the villagers suffer all these years! ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply in each of the three directions.
Everyone suddenly felt sour, the grievances of being oppressed by the Zhang family over the years seemed to be vented out all of a sudden, many of their daughters had been bullied by Zhang Weidong, many people's family property was robbed by the Zhang family in the daytime, and many people were wantonly beaten by the Zhang family who were in a bad mood for no reason.
Everything has been stored in their hearts for a long time.
"Captain Yun, in fact, you don't have to apologize to us, we all understand that you also chose to endure what the Zhang family did for the sake of all of us to live a stable life." An old woman stood up and said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, how could they not understand Lu Weijun's suffering.
Yun Baiyu shook his head: "Folks, we have always been wrong, as Lu Weijun, as the defender of justice, not only did we not punish the Zhang family, but also allowed them to do wrong, and unconsciously became the umbrella of the Zhang family, and we have long stood on the opposite side of justice, I don't know if it will be too late to wake up now." ”
"But folks, no matter what, Zhang Weidong is dead, even if he kills Ling Xiu, he Zhang Jingshan will never give up, this war is unavoidable, since there is no way to avoid it, then we can only face it bravely, we Lu Weijun will defend Biluo Island to the death!" The voice suddenly became high-pitched.
"Defend Biluo Island to the death!"
Hundreds of army guards roared in unison, and the sound shook the sky, which made the soul shake.
