Wu Fang carried the heads of eight people and led dozens of people to Zhouzhuang.

It had only been a day since the slaughter of the Zhou patriarch's house, so the villagers had basically not left, but the families were already packing their bags. A few young men who burned paper money for the patriarch's family at the head of the village saw the White Tiger Gang coming again from a distance, and they were all frightened and weak, and they wanted to escape, but they couldn't move.

"Don't be afraid, little brothers, I am the second leader of the White Tiger Gang, and I am here to explain the situation to you, so I bother you to gather everyone and gather here. Wu Fang lifted the human head in his hand.

The young men froze in place, still not daring to move. "Don't go yet!" a gang next to him shouted, and they came back to their senses and called for someone to go to the village.

Soon, hundreds of villagers came to the head of the village, spontaneously lined up and stood in an orderly manner, listening to the teaching.

"Don't be afraid, I'm the second leader of the White Tiger Gang, my name is Wu Fang. "Wu Fang originally had a bookish spirit, and this arch was quite a bit of a celebrity. "We are here today to apologize. "Throw their heads before the people.

At first, the people did not dare to take a closer look, but they were always a little bold, and after a while, everyone finally saw that these heads were the leaders of yesterday's fierce gods. Especially Hei Zhang San's head, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he didn't believe anything, which was especially infiltrating.

Wu Fang paused for a moment, and then said: "Our helper knows what happened yesterday, folks, this is not our intention. Our White Tiger Gang really wants your Zhouzhuang piece of land, but what we ordered to go down is to negotiate with you, negotiate the price, and when you are all willing to talk, we will only want this land under the premise that you are free to buy and sell. Speaking of this, Wu Fang sighed, arched his hand in the direction of Patriarch Zhou's family, and continued: "Now that Patriarch Zhou's family is no longer there, I know that no matter how much we say sorry, we can't make up for the mistakes made by Zhang San's group of crazy people, but, folks, rest assured, our White Tiger Gang will definitely give you an explanation!"

After that, Wu Yi led the gang to the Zhou patriarch's house and cleaned up the ruins that had burned all night.

Under the leadership of Wu Fang, everyone gathered the ruins of the Zhou patriarch's house together, and dug a big pit on the spot to bury these ruins.

The people who followed behind wept and lamented.

"Patriarch Zhou's family are all good people, but now there are no bones left, alas..."

"That Zhang Sanren is too brutal, even women and children are not spared..."

"Evil has evil retribution, those wicked people are dead now, it's really unpleasant!"

"Patriarch Zhou, go with peace of mind, your revenge has been avenged, everything is a misunderstanding, and the third class of Zhang is really bad to the bone. ”

Everyone was busy for most of the day, and finally finished, and at the suggestion of Wu Fang, the villagers built a monument for the Zhou patriarch's family.

Wu Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the villagers: "There is a way to compensate for this, let me hear it to everyone." ”

"The second master is in charge of us, and we don't want to compensate. ”

"Yes, the second master can do whatever he wants, we have no opinion. ”

"Everything was a misunderstanding, now that things have been figured out, we are all very grateful to you, please accept my wait. ”

After that, many villagers spontaneously knelt down in tears, shouting "Thank you to the second master" and "The second master is a good person".

Wu Fang was taken aback, and said secretly in his heart: "This group of people won't be scared stupid, right?" His face was full of guilt and remorse, and he bowed down and said: "Everyone get up quickly, it's our fault in the White Tiger Gang, I came today to apologize to everyone, as long as you can understand us, we will be satisfied, and we can live in our hearts." ”

"Understanding, must be understood. ”

"It's over, it's not your fault, you've apologized. ”

"Second master, don't worry, we won't embarrass you. ”

Wu Fang nodded and said, "That's the case, we have decided to give each household a compensation of one hundred taels to compensate for the fright you have suffered." In addition, if you are willing to move away, we will pay each household another 100 taels of relocation fees, but you have to negotiate well, if one family is unwilling, we will cancel this land resumption plan, I solemnly emphasize again, it is all voluntary, to every household to voluntarily relocate, we will want this land, otherwise there is no need to talk!"

The villagers of Zhouzhuang looked at each other, and then fell to their knees again, shouting 'we are willing, we are willing'......

Wu Fang's eyes swept over the faces of each of the people, and then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "If everyone is willing, then you can go through the formalities now, everyone go back and bring the title deed, sign and draw the pledge, and then receive the silver, and each household will receive two hundred taels." ”

"Okay, let's go back and get the title deed..." The villagers dispersed and went back to get the title deed.

Wu Fang led the minions to stand in front of the ruins of the Zhou patriarch's house, and said with a smile: "Ignorant people......

"How do you say this?" Wu Fang's henchmen were puzzled.

"Read more and you'll understand. Wu Fang patted his henchman on the shoulder and did not answer.

General's Palace.

Chen Letian and Li Tong have just received the news: the White Tiger Gang went to Zhouzhuang with a large amount of silver to appease the people, and they have already negotiated the matter of recovering the land.

"Two hundred taels, can you buy the life of Patriarch Zhou's family?" Chen Letian sneered.

"More than enough!" Li Tong and Second Master Li shook their heads helplessly.

"O people, although it is bitter to rise and fall, they are also self-inflicted. Chen Letian couldn't help but shake his head, sighed lightly, and said, "The hearts of hundreds of people were bought for just tens of thousands of taels." After a pause, he continued: "The hearts of the people are easy to buy, and you know that I know it." What do the people know? They only know two things: fear of death and profit. The death of the Zhou patriarch's family has already scared them to the bone, and the temptation of two hundred taels of money is too great. So they choose to give in. Brother Li, I want to ask you for one thing. ”

"Don't say anything, you go back to the capital, this general's mansion is up to you, this is what the general said to me in his letter, if you have any orders, just say it." Li Tong was a little irritable, I don't know if he was annoyed by Chen Letian, or by the hundreds of people who didn't even dare to go to the government to complain.

"I want to pull down Guo Yongchun, the servant of the ministry. Chen Letian looked up at the blue sky in the courtyard, and for the first time after returning to Beijing, he had the idea of killing someone.

"That's what I mean. Li Tong slapped the table.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and they both saw a thick murderous aura in each other's eyes.

---

The Minister's Mansion.

Guo Yongchun has been in the position of the servant of the ministry for 20 years, and he said that the ministry is full of oil and water, yes, this is true. But no matter how fat the yamen is, it must have a righteous official who can be a man in order to become fat. It's a pity that this official is a pretending official, flaunting his two sleeves all day long.

Thinking of this, Guo Yongchun could only sigh and be helpless.

"Master, why do you sigh?" "My favorite concubine Ting'er pinched Guo Yongchun's shoulders and said delicately.

"You don't understand, I see that you and your brother Zhao Hu are the same, you don't know a few words, don't worry about that, it's enough to serve a good master." Guo Yongchun touched the soft and delicate hand of the concubine on his shoulder, and said.

The two were quiet for a while, and Guo Yongchun said again: "Why hasn't your brother come to see me recently?

Ting'er said: "I met with my brother a few days ago, and I heard him say that he wants to do a few businesses recently and is looking for a place. I also said to him, let him come to see you more, and he asked me to give you a message, saying that the land in Zhouzhuang is guaranteed to be taken down and given to you. ”

Guo Yongchun said: "Oh, how does he know that I want the land in Zhouzhuang? You told him, right?"

Ting'er covered her mouth and smiled: "I just mentioned it to him casually, who knew that he was interested, but then again, my brother should do this little thing for you." If it weren't for your support, his head, he wouldn't have earned his current family business in ten lifetimes. ”

"It's good that you know. Guo Yongchun pulled Ting'er into his arms and played with it wantonly...

"Master..." was about to do something in the courtyard, but the housekeeper suddenly arrived in a hurry.

"Dog minion, if there is nothing important, I will break your dog's leg!" Guo Yongchun was furious.

"If you go back to the master, Second Master Li of the General's Mansion will come to visit you. "The housekeeper bowed down and said, who dares to disturb you when your old man is doing business, if it weren't for Second Master Li of the General's Mansion, I wouldn't be too lazy to disturb your good things.

"Li Tong?" Guo Yongchun was stunned, frowned, and said: "The General's Mansion has always had nothing to do with us, and the sudden visit, can you say what happened to you?"

Second Master Li didn't say it, and the villain didn't dare to ask, but looking at Second Master Li's appearance, it shouldn't be a hurry. The butler replied.

"Okay, you go and entertain him first, and I'll change my clothes. Guo Yongchun waved his hand.

Li Tong was drinking tea in the living room, and when he saw Guo Yongchun coming, he just nodded, and didn't even stand. Chen Letian was wearing the clothes of a guard, standing aside, bowing slightly.

Guo Yongchun was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and arched his hand: "Second Master Li has been waiting for a long time, and he has lost his disrespect!"

Li Channel: "Guo Shilang is polite, I came today to ask you something. ”

Guo Yongchun said: "Second Master Li, please ask, I know everything in the next place, and I have no words. ”

Li Daodao: "What is the relationship between the White Tiger Gang and you?"

Guo Yongchun's heart tightened, and he said: "The sister of Zhao Hu, the leader of the White Tiger Gang, is my concubine, and other than that, I don't have any friendship with the White Tiger Gang. "The concubine's family and her husband's family are not in-laws, so Guo Yongchun said that there is no friendship, and it can be regarded as passable. Li Tong's question made Guo Yongchun a little nervous, and he secretly thought in his heart, this Zhao Hu won't provoke the general's mansion, right?

"Oh. Then I'm relieved. Li Tong smiled: "Guo Shilang doesn't have to think about it, since the White Tiger Gang is not your person, then I know what to do." ”

Guo Yongchun smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I wonder if this White Tiger Gang has done something that shouldn't be done?"

Li Tong shook his head and said: "Gangsters, it's normal to do something hurtful, this is not under Guo Shilang's control, farewell!"

"Why do you have to come and go in a hurry, no matter how you talk about it today, you have to give it a chance in the next day, I heard that the second master has a lot of people, and I must accompany you to have a few drinks today." Guo Yongchun was very enthusiastic.

Li Tong waved his hand and said: "Guo Shilang doesn't have to be polite, he won't drink the wine, and the waiter has something to say." ”

Guo Yongchun scratched his head, extremely embarrassed, he has been in the officialdom for decades, everyone talks in a zigzag way, this suddenly encountered Li Tong speaking so straightforwardly, he was really not used to it, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The second master is straightforward, then I will say it directly, if there is any disharmony between the White Tiger Gang and the second master, you can do it, there is only one request under it, just to be able to release the gang leader Zhao Hu's life, if he is injured or disabled, as long as he stays alive." ”

"Haha..."Li Tong laughed, and together with Chen Letian, he said as he walked out: "Life and death are fate, Guo Shilang is too obsessed with life and death..."

When Li Tong disappeared in front of the gate with Chen Letian beside him, Guo Yongchun punched the door angrily, and his fingers hurt greatly, "It's so rude!

Suddenly, Li Tong thought of something and exclaimed, "There won't be spies in this White Tiger Gang, right?"
