Chapter 20: Internal Worries
At this time, the confidant Yuwen commanded the rest of the pro-soldiers to forcibly separate the crowd and block all the people outside. Then Shangguan Hu personally guided the carriage of the Mixed Yuan Sect Daoist to slowly drive by.
Xuan Chengzi of the Mixed Yuan Sect has always regarded himself very highly, and never likes to meddle with the idle affairs of the pig people, and when he saw Shangguan Hu personally opening a path for himself, he nodded with a smile, retracted his head, and the car drove away along the road.
Here, a son and a daughter are still lying on their mother's corpse, crying to death.
When the murderous soldier saw the Mixed Yuan Sect, his face sank as he walked away, and he commanded the people around him, "Prepare to go." So the soldiers escorted Shangguan Hu's convoy and slowly left. Only the people who were still on the scene were left, a man and a woman who were crying and alive, and two dead bodies lying in a pool of blood.
The car left slowly, and I saw the burly man crying and saying, "Father, mother, Da Lian will definitely avenge you." ”
In the bookstore, Niu Ba watched his new work being printed, and said: "Third uncle, our "Hunan Newspaper" has been printed again. Yes, the days go by so fast, you just asked me why I directly talked about the Fire Spirit Fa in this new book, and I now feel that this Dao Fa is becoming more and more useful to us. ”
Luo Jian smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that your Mr. Tian Zaiyuan has written to you again." ”
Niu Ba nodded: "Yes, Mr. Tian said in the letter: 'I have no objection to your study of Wen Shi Zhenren's inaction, but you must pay attention to the study of the Fire Spirit Fa, and the Fire Spirit Fa can really save Dongsheng Shenzhou. ’”
Luo Xuan said: "Then our Wuling Society can organize and start reading the scriptures of the Fire Dao first." ”
Niu Ba stood up and nodded, and while the two were talking, suddenly a voice came anxiously and urgently: "Starling, Starling." ”
As soon as Niu Ba heard this voice, his heart beat a drum, knowing that something was about to happen again.
Sure enough, the door of the bookstore was pushed open, and a young man ran in, panicking, "Starling, quick, there are so many people coming," the young man said as he ran, "There are so many people, hurry, hurry." ”
Niu Bayi saw that the person's forehead had been broken, and it was bleeding from Yingying, and the man didn't care about the injury on his head, but said: "Come, it's all fast, Shangguan Hu, this beast, has a surprise attack." The Wuling Academy has been seized, and they should be there soon. ”
When the owner of the bookstore heard this, he was anxious: "Then even our bookstore will be seized?" ”
The person who came was Ye Luhuang, president of the Wuling Provincial Confucian Federation, Ye Luhuang said: "Shangguan Hu already knows that this is the printing place of "Hunan Yao Bao". After speaking, he looked at Niu Ba.
Niu Ba said to Luo Xuan: "The third uncle hurriedly mobilized our people to protect. ”
Luo Xuan agreed, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Yeluhuang.
Yeluhuang said: "Scholar, I'm afraid it's too late." This time they moved very fast, and they should be there soon. ”
The owner of the bookstore next to him was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Then what can I do?" ”
A group of soldiers on the street not far away, running rapidly, shouted loudly for the leader: "Quick, quick." ”
Niu Ba in the bookstore immediately made a decision and ordered: "Send out the 3,000 copies of the "Hunan Newspaper that has just been printed" as soon as possible. ”
Everyone did as they were told, and they acted immediately. "Quick, quick!" While shouting at each other, they hurriedly began to carry the new printed books, when the door was pushed open again, and a group of soldiers rushed in.
The one at the head was none other than Shangguan Hu's cronies, Zhi Yuwen, and as soon as he entered the room, he shouted, "No one is allowed to move." ”
Hundreds of soldiers rushed forward and drew their swords at each other, but everyone had to stay still.
When Yu Wen saw someone in the crowd glaring at him, he guessed that the other party was Niu Ba, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. I saw that Yuwen slowly walked towards Niu Ba with some pride and arrogance.
When he came to Niu Ba, Zhi Yuwen showed a hypocritical politeness with a bit of ridicule, a fake smile with a bit of smugness, and shook his head and said: "Mr. Niu, the official family has repeatedly ordered and strictly forbidden the propaganda of evil demons in Wuling County, and you have successively compiled and printed tens of thousands of copies of the "Hunan Yao Newspaper", and often each of them has very arrogant and radical articles. Encourage the grass people to confront the officials, and now the army has seized you, and those who disobey the military order will be arrested immediately. ”
After Zhi Yuwen finished speaking, the corners of his eyes were fierce, and he shouted to his subordinates: "Smash Lao Tzu." ”
Niu Ba is still calm. The owner of the bookstore was the first to refuse, and begged: "Don't smash it, don't smash it." ”
As soon as the catchers gave an order, they smashed up like wolves, and suddenly smoke and dust flew, sawdust flew, and chickens flew and dogs jumped. The boss of the bookstore didn't stop this, and he didn't dare to hug that, but he had tears in his eyes, and cried bitterly: "Don't smash, don't smash, please." ”
Niu Ba was furious and was about to say something. But he was interrupted by the other party: "I didn't expect us to come early as it was better to come by chance, these are all just printed by you, it seems that we came at the right time, and we dragged them to the street and burned them all down with my order." ”
When everything was destroyed, the soldiers marched away.
Niu Ba, Yelu Huang, and Luo Xuan came to the street in despair, and Yelu Huang said to Niu Ba: "It's a pity. 3,000 pamphlets are gone! ”
Luo Xuan knew that Niu Ba was short-tempered, so he persuaded: "Forget it, heroes don't fight for a while." ”
Niu Ba said with a solemn face: "What is the crime of us writing and reading books? We must fight. ”
At this time, a young man ran in front of Niu Ba and shouted, "Brother." Seeing the puzzled expression on Niu Ba's face, he said, "Brother, don't you know me?" ”
Niu Ba saw his long-lost brother, hesitated for a while before spit out two words: "Ninth brother, is it you?" ”
Unexpectedly, when Niu Jiu saw his long-lost eldest brother, he was not a little happy on his face. I saw that his face became ugly, as if he was crying. looked at his eldest brother and choked up: "Mother, let's mother." Then she burst into tears.
Niu Ba's heart was not good, he only felt cold all over his body, and his whole body couldn't move as if he was tied up by something.
After a long time, Niu Ba raised his hand and grabbed his brother's shoulder, but the younger brother just cried and still couldn't speak.
Wuling Lotus City. On his mother's mourning hall, Niu Ba was grief-stricken and recited the memorial text he wrote for his mother: "There are really cranes in the world, leading to heaven and yin ...... below."
Niu Ba knelt in front of his mother's mausoleum and said sadly: "It's a pity that I wasn't there when my mother went. I'm ashamed. ”
Niu Ba's sister, the eleventh sister, said: "Brother, my mother didn't blame you. He knows that you are busy with your big things in Star City, and you are the one who does big things. ”
