Volume 2 A Light Travels in the Night Chapter 94 Incident (3)
There are not many Liu cultivators who rushed out, less than twenty in total, but all of them have good cultivation. The lowest realm is also in the middle of the Imperial Qi Realm, and the man at the head is even in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm, with a strong breath and a stable pressure Hu Hong.
There are no more than ten cultivators in the extreme realm of the Great Qi King, three of them are occupied by the imperial family, and the rest are scattered in the duke's house among the seventeen nobles of the Jiangmen and the fourteen sects of the scholars. Among most of the great families, the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm is the strongest person.
In this sense, if you can have the late cultivation of the Yuan Shen Realm, you will have the opportunity to establish a noble family.
The forces of the rivers and lakes, whether they are gangs or green forest heroes, compared with the nobles of the family who have been inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years, their rise and fall are also sudden, and the lack of accumulation and heritage makes it almost impossible for them to appear in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm. Whether it is Yipinlou or Sanqing Sword, the number one master in the gang is only cultivated in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm.
Although Hu Honglian is also in the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, the cultivators of the Yipinlou around him, except for the three masters in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, their cultivation cannot be compared with the elite of the Liu clan.
At this moment, he was caught by others and besieged by the group, and Hu Honglian's situation was very bad.
However, she was still steady, and gave a hidden gesture to the nearby Yipinlou cultivators, signaling them not to act rashly.
"What did Brother Tai say, the little woman is just drinking tea here, where do you dare to provoke the Liu family? Brother Tai brought so many people around, didn't he see that the little woman had a bit of a look, and she wanted to rob the people's daughter?" Hu Honglian smiled charmingly, looking like an old bustard in a green building, but his eyes were extremely clear, and there was a hidden sharpness.
"Shut up!"
Liu Baichan, the elder of the Liu clan, shouted angrily, and just when Hu Honglian thought that the other party was going to say that he was too nonsense, he only heard the other party continue to scold him with disdain: "What kind of thing are you! A country slut is also worthy of being called a brother of a certain family, and she is called a brother and brother to the people of the family? I don't know the etiquette and law, and I don't have knowledge, so shut up for me, so as not to laugh and be generous!"
After the lesson, Hu Honglian, who didn't wait for his eyes to cool down, spoke, flicked his long sleeves and turned back and ordered: "Bring everyone up!"
After speaking, he looked down at Hu Honglian with disdain, "Today I will let you see what kind of family and nobleman the Liu family is! You and the people behind you will know how stupid it is to go against the Liu family!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of people poured out of the city gate.
Hu Honglian's face stiffened.
It was a member of the Liu clan, a minion, armed with a knife and axe, driving away a group of low-level people in rough clothes. Among them, many are elderly, weak, women and children.
Hu Honglian knows a lot of these people.
Therefore, she confirmed at the first time that the other party was the family members of the victims of the mining accident! She wanted to follow them to the capital in batches to sue the emperor for justice. And now, they were all arrested by the Liu family!
Hu Honglian already knew that things were not good.
It takes a lot of effort for Yipinlou to find these people in concealment and take them away, but Liu has a list of victims of the mining accident in his hand, and he has also "compensated" these family members for a month's wages, and it is easy to arrest these people one by one.
"Do you want to uphold justice, stand up for these people, and take them to Beijing to sound the drums of injustice?"
Liu Baichan pointed to the low-level civilians who were being escorted and cowering in the open space, and glanced at Hu Honglian contemptuously, his gaze was like looking at a fool.
He looked back at the people who did not dare to look at him, and scolded angrily: "You ungrateful people have colluded with outsiders to disadvantage our Liu family, what a wolf-hearted dog! Have you forgotten who gave you the opportunity to earn money, who gave you a bowl of rice to eat? Who kept you from starving to death?"
"Without the Liu family here, without the amethyst mine, what do you eat, hunting? You have long been eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains! Without the wealth brought by the amethyst mine, how can there be so many shops and industries in Xinxiang Township, where will the young people of your family have the opportunity to work as helpers and support their families?
"Before the Liu family came to open the mine, there was only a dilapidated small village here, and it was the Liu family who came to make this place a prosperous new township! You don't know how to be grateful to Dade, you are still greedy and don't want more! For the sake of silver, you still want to go to the capital to complain, and you are ungrateful to this extent, it is really indignant to people and gods, and your conscience is eaten by dogs?!"
Liu Baichan was very angry, very angry, and in the end, his facial features were distorted. It's like being wronged.
Hu Honglian was so angry by his shameless words that he wanted to jump up and cut the other party with a thousand knives. It turns out that there are such brazen people in this world!
Liu Baichan looked much more sad and indignant than Hu Honglian, he waved his long sleeves, and in front of countless onlookers in Xinxiang Township, he ordered the people and minions of the Liu clan: "This kind of wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, who will take revenge, is not worthy of living in this world! Listen to my orders, kill them all, and leave no one behind!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! Hu Honglian suddenly got up, she never thought that Liu Baichan would want to kill all these people, this is more than 100 people! After thinking about it, she sat down again, she didn't believe that Liu Baichan dared to do this in broad daylight!
"Don't you believe that I dare to kill them all!"
Liu Baichan glanced back at Hu Honglian with disdain, and sneered: "You really don't know anything about the word powerful!"
He raised a hand, and then dropped it suddenly.
As a result, five heads fell to the ground.
When he raised his hand again, more than a hundred suffering people in the field shouted to rush out and fight for their might.
No one can rush out.
The minions of the Liu clan are all cultivators. The knife is also in their hands.
The beaten people were screaming miserably, and the onlookers were shouting angrily: "Where is the royal law? Where is the heavenly reason? The Liu family is so perverse, he is not afraid of retribution?!"
Liu Baichan no longer paid attention to Hu Honglian, and coldly glanced at the group of low-level people who had been overturned, injured, and repulsed, "Wang Fa, Tianli, Retribution, Okay! Today, I will tell you what the Wang Fa is! The Wang Fa is only used to restrain you ordinary people, because once you break the law, you can only be punished! Do you know why? Because you don't have the money to bribe the officials and let them open up the net! You also don't have the power to overwhelm the officials who handle the case and make them obedient!
"Wang Fa? Wang Fa is in the hands of officials! If the officials say that you are guilty, you will have to go to prison! If the officials say that he is not guilty, he will be able to get away with it!
"The powerful are the ones who have the money and the power, and can make the Wang Fa for my use! Today, even if I kill all of you people, what can you do? It's just a murder case of a few hundred people, and my Liu family can still suppress it!
"What can you ants do? Go to the county government to complain about your grievances? Will the county order control you? Go to the capital to file a complaint? Can you get to Yanping City? What else can you do? If you don't want to be thrown into the county government prison, you can only swallow your anger!
"Otherwise, rebel! Do you dare to rebel? As long as you kill one court official, all of them will become criminals, and the army will destroy you in the blink of an eye! Tell me, what can you do?
"It's just a few thousand people, I don't want money, I don't want power, I don't have knives and guns! And I Liu have all of these, not only that, but there are many more! Today, my Liu family wants to kill all of you, that is, I can kill all of you, what can you do with me?!"
The last sentence was like thunder, and it shocked all the ordinary people present in a stunned and silent voice!
Soon, the eyes of the people looking at Liu Baichan and the Liu clan were full of fear and fear, and they even lowered their heads one after another, reverting to the appearance of not daring to look directly at each other.
The five headless corpses were still bleeding, and the blood gushing from their necks was steaming hot in the winter day.
But they have become meaningless. No one pays attention to them anymore, no one gets angry with them anymore.
Liu Baichan looked at the quail-like people in his eyes, and the contempt and disdain on his face became more and more intense, "Now, I give you a chance to live." As long as you get in touch with you these days, and the people who want to take you to the capital are pulled out of the crowd and from the new townships, I will not blame the past! Find one person, and your family will be able to live, and if you find two people, I will reward him...... If you don't want to die, leave me immediately!"
As soon as this order was given, the more than 100 people who were escorted here and beaten again, whether they were young men, old and weak women and children, were all in high spirits!
Immediately, one by one, they all became sharp-eyed, searching around like falcons, and soon they scattered in a swarm, rushing to the people they saw or the places they thought!
They were red-eyed.
One thousand taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live for 20 years! If the Liu family had paid five hundred taels of money to the victims of the mining accident, no one would still think about complaining about grievances.
Hu Honglian sat at the wooden table of the tea stall and did not get up.
She holds the tea bowl in one hand, like a statue.
In front of her, at the table, stood several family members of the victims of the mining disaster. Among them is her neighbor in Xinxiang.
They surrounded her, and the water around her was impassable, like surrounding their own mountains of gold and silver, for fear that she would run away.
Hu Honglian felt sad.
When she was going to take these people to the capital to seek justice for them, these people were grateful to him, and there was no shortage of them who wept and knelt down to buckle their heads.
But now, that's all changed. They were no longer grateful to her and took her as prey.
Although Hu Honglian was sad, he was not too angry.
a thousand taels of silver...... Under normal circumstances, even if these family members succeed in suing the royal court, the Liu family loses money, and it will definitely not reach this number. And now, they don't have to risk going to the capital, they don't have to worry about being retaliated against by the Liu family afterwards, they can easily get the money and live a decent life in the new township.
Although he went to the yamen to express his grievances, he was wronged, and he wanted justice. But when justice can be calculated in silver, it doesn't matter whether justice is necessary or not. It's the silver that counts.
Only with money can you live.
Liu Baichan easily reversed the situation with five lives, a threat, and a little silver that was not worth mentioning to him.
"Now it's your turn. ”
Liu Baichan waved his hand to disperse the crowd and sat down in front of Hu Honglian, "I believe that by this time, you should already know how powerful the Liu clan is, how unreliable these people are, and how ridiculous it is when they are enemies of the Liu clan."
"In the same way, I will also give you a chance to explain the reasons and purpose of your doing, and to name who is behind your work. If the answer satisfies me, I can give you a sum of money that satisfies you, and give you a chance to become Liu's minions, if the answer doesn't satisfy me......"
Speaking of this, Liu Baichan's eyes became fierce and cruel, "You will regret it for the rest of your life!"
