Chapter 31: Asking for help
The three monks of Zhenbo Mansion, who often plagued the people, are now all dead. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The bad people lost their backers and did not dare to arbitrarily oppress the townspeople, and the public security situation in Zixu Town was much better all of a sudden.
The death of the three monks of Zhenbo Mansion and Li Xingyun gave Zhenbo a blow to the head, and Zhenbo was so frightened that he shrank in Zhenbo's Mansion all day long and did not dare to go out.
There was no big move in the Zhenbo Mansion, so the townspeople did not have to serve as conscription, and their lives were relaxed and comfortable.
After Li Xingyun's death, the vicious plan was terminated as a matter of course, and people were extremely happy when they learned the news.
Everything is developing in a good direction, and Lu Jianping is very pleased with this.
Lu Jianping returned to Taoyuan Village, leaving all the disturbances of the outside world behind and devoting himself to cultivation.
Lu Jianping originally thought that everything in Zixu Town would be peaceful and nothing bad would happen, but Lu Jianping was wrong.
More than a month later, Lu Jianping practiced the [Mao Rabbit Sword Technique] and cultivated to break through to the fifth layer of the Heaven and Man One Heavy Realm the next morning.
Lu Jianping was sitting on the stone slab, and when he was seriously cultivating, there was a sound of crying one after another, which attracted Lu Jianping's attention.
Lu Jianping subconsciously rushed in the direction where the voice came from, and it didn't take long for Lu Jianping to find hundreds of women wearing linen and filial piety.
These women are old and young, the oldest is probably over eighty years old, and the youngest looks only two or three years old.
"Lord Lu Jianping, please save us!"
When these women saw Lu Jianping, they immediately knelt together.
While kowtowing vigorously to Lu Jianping, they pleaded loudly, and in an instant, the sound of crying resounded in the sky.
Seeing this, Lu Jianping hurriedly ran to the eldest old man and stretched out his hand to help the old man up.
"At a young age, I don't deserve such a big gift from the old man, so please get up and speak. ”
The bow of worship has long been abandoned on the earth, and Lu Jianping is very uncomfortable with it.
In the face of the young man's bowing, Lu Jianping was still acceptable, but in the face of the old man's bowing, Lu Jianping was a little frightened.
Lu Jianping stretched out his hands and wanted to float the old man up, but unfortunately, the old man didn't mean to get up at all.
The old man knelt on the ground, looked at Lu Jianping with pleading eyes, wiped his tears, and said:
"Lord Lu Jianping, please save me, in Zixu Town, only you can do us. Have mercy and do well, and save us."
After the old man finished speaking, he kowtowed vigorously again.
Seeing this, Lu Jianping was very helpless. Facing the kowtow of the old man, Lu Jianping was unwilling to accept it, but he couldn't dodge aside.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Jianping ignored the old man's thoughts and forcibly helped the old man up.
"What is going on, why do you want to ask me for help? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, tell me the truth of the matter, 1510!"
When Lu Jianping was talking to the old man, he gave a false help to the others and motioned for them to get up.
However, these women only wept and did not appear to get up at all.
When Lu Jianping saw the reactions of these people, the premonition in his heart became more and more bad.
If it weren't for the extreme urgency of the situation, which had reached the point of urgency, these women would never have been so anxious.
Although kneeling for a long time is a way to express supplication, it contains the meaning of persecution.
If it weren't for the last resort, ordinary people would never use this trick.
"Three days ago, Master Li Shendu left Zixu Town. Subsequently, on the pretext of finding the murderer, Lord Zhenbo arrested all the men from rich and noble families in our Zixu Town into Zhenbo's Mansion. Lord Zhenbo once said that every three days, he would randomly pick out ten people to kill, and if we wanted to save people, we would take out the money and go to Zhenbo's Mansion to ransom people. ”
When the old man spoke, his tone was very sad.
The older people are, the more they care about their family, this old man is over eighty years old, and he should live a warm life surrounded by children and grandchildren, but now he has lost this happiness because of Zhenbo Mansion.
Lu Jianping's first reaction was guilt, after all, the man from a rich and noble family was arrested, and Lu Jianping was inseparable.
If Lu Jianping hadn't killed the three major monks, then everything today wouldn't have happened at all.
But only a few seconds later, the trace of guilt in his heart was replaced by a strong killing intent.
Zhenbo's real purpose is money, and under the guise of ransom, he threatens to kill ten people randomly every three days to force the rich and noble to send money to Zhenbo's mansion.
This unscrupulous practice of grabbing money completely angered Lu Jianping.
"Why didn't you go and ransom people?"
The people who came to ask for help were all women, and there was not a single man, which was really abnormal.
Lu Jianping was very angry at Zhenbo's behavior, and felt very strange about these women's behavior of not redeeming people.
Lu Jianping wanted to know what kind of secret was contained in this.
Listening to Lu Jianping's inquiry, the old man immediately cried and explained with a sigh:
"The ransom given by Lord Zhenbo is too high, even if we go bankrupt, we can only redeem a few people, and the vast majority of people will still be imprisoned in Zhenbo's Mansion and slowly die in the future. Now, every family is sacrificing who to save, and there is a lot of trouble, and we can't make up our minds at all. Lord Lu Jianping, I beg you to go to Zhenbo's Mansion and persuade Zhenbo to lower the ransom, we beg you!"
When the old man said this, he knelt on the ground again with a "poof" and kept kowtowing hard.
Listening to the old man's words, Lu Jian couldn't help but be stunned.
It is not uncommon for monks to plunder the wealth of mortals through despicable means.
Uncle Zhen's behavior is actually a simple kidnapping and blackmail, and the three monks of Uncle Zhen's Mansion have all done this kind of thing.
It's just that it is very rare to be as unscrupulous and fanfare as Zhenbo is.
Under normal circumstances, monks plunder mortals leave a glimmer of leeway, after all, monks are only for wealth, not for life.
But Uncle Zhen's behavior this time is really unreasonable, and his actions are simply forcing the townspeople to a dead end.
"I'm in charge of this matter, you all go back to your own home, wait for my news!"
After a little analysis, Lu Jianping understood what Uncle Zhen really thought.
Obviously, Uncle Zhen was already planning to leave Zixu Town, so he did this kind of thing beyond the bottom line.
Zhen Bo is a selfish person, when Li Xingyun proposed the evil plan, not only did he not object, but expressed his approval.
In Uncle Zhen's view, if Zixu Town does not belong to him, then everything in Zixu Town has no meaning. Even if everyone in Zixu Town was killed and injured, he would definitely not feel uneasy.
After guessing Uncle Zhen's true intentions, Lu Jianping carried the giant sword on his back and hid Li Xingyun's first-order high-grade spirit weapon sword in his arms, and then rushed towards Zixu Town.
