Chapter Twenty-Five: The Knife Keeps Worrying

When Niu Ba heard this, his face turned pale and he didn't say a word.

Liu Susu's face showed a hint of hope, and said, "Starling, it's good that you're here." Otherwise, I don't even know what to do. ”

Niu Ba gently patted Liu Susu's shoulder, and saw the money bag in his hand, so he said: "It's not easy for your family to save this money, Mr. is seriously ill, let's use this money to treat him." ”

Liu Susu immediately excused himself and said: "This is my father's intention, you must accept it, besides, if I take it back, my father will definitely be unhappy." ”

Niu Hachi insisted: "Then you won't tell him?" Since he is sick, he can still deal with the urgency of leaving the money. Take it. ”

Liu Susu stretched out his hand to block, the two pushed each other around, and Niu Ba finally stuffed the money into Liu Susu's hand.

The snowflakes are like palms that are hard to cover their eyes, and the wind is like a knife that keeps worrying. The two finally said goodbye in this heavy snow.

The next day, Niu Ba led his 'Tiger Fighting Regiment', holding high various small flags and slogans, to the streets to publicize their 'Fight the Tiger and Eliminate the Wolf', and the crowd chanted the slogan as he walked: "Expel the tiger poison and remove Shangguan Hu." ”

Niu Ba led everyone to shout slogans all the way forward, and it was mighty, attracting hundreds of people to stop and watch. The crowd walked and promoted their ideas, and they came all the way to the front of the Purple Palace. There were guards guarding the Purple Palace in front of it, and they didn't let everyone come forward. Niu Ba looked at the guards blocking in front of him and said, "We are the representatives of tens of millions of people in Wuling, and we ask to see the leader of the alliance. ”

One of the leaders of the guards was holding a horse whip, and he pointed at Niu Ba and the others with a horse whip and scolded loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't gather in front of the gate of the Purple Palace, you all disperse for me." ”

Where did everyone agree, so they continued to chant the slogan: "Recall Shangguan Hu!" Oust Shangguan Hu! Niu Ba crossed his eyebrows and confronted the soldiers.

In the Jiangzi Palace, the leader of Zhao Sanyuan's alliance naturally had a deep understanding of the things in front of the palace gate. Although he did not show up, these news were before Niu Ba and the others arrived in Suncheon. It had already reached his ears.

Zhao Sanyuan listened to the faint slogan shouting at the door, turned to his subordinates with an embarrassed face and said: "The pen of dispatching troops seems to be set up by the alliance leader, and those grass people in Wuling really want to ask me about Zhao Sanyuan's pen." ”

The master next to him immediately replied: "Don't worry, the leader of the general alliance, there are only more than 40 people making trouble outside the Xinhua Gate, and there are more people who are lively, and we have more soldiers." ”

Zhao Sanyuan asked: "Whichever hand dares to reach over will hit which one first, do you understand?" It's not that I, Zhao Sanyuan, don't understand the people's feelings, and it's not that I, Zhao Sanyuan, am hard-hearted, it's really Shuntianfu, and I really can't tolerate turmoil. All gatherings of people to provoke must be dispersed in time. ”

The cronie replied, "Yes." ”

Zhao Sanyuan said again: "Besides, Shangguan Hu is in charge of Wuling, and he has heavy troops, and it is not a piece of paper that my Zhao Sanyuan can replace." ”

The cronies replied, "Yes." ”

The petition group represented by Niu Ba continued to protest at the door, only to hear more than a dozen sturdy soldiers like wolves and tigers carrying sticks suddenly rush out of the courtyard. When the two groups were all mixed up, the soldiers raised sticks and began to beat them.

The soldiers who came to be important were tall, well-trained, and armed with clubs. The protesters were their opponents, and they were beaten to the point of crying and crying for their mother, blood flowing, and Niu Ba shouted: "You can't be like this, you are unreasonable!" But who can hear his cries when there is a lot of noise?

After a period of chaos, everyone had to hug their heads and run away, and those soldiers did not chase after they dispersed, allowing everyone to flee, and Niu Ba and others fled back to Fayuan Temple.

When I returned to the temple, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, either your nose was blue or your face was swollen, your forehead was broken, or your teeth were knocked out, and everyone was embarrassed.

This one said: "This general alliance leader is really ruthless, we came to forty members this time, and thirty-two of them were beaten by his stick. ”

The other said: "The attack of cutting off children and grandchildren is really ruthless." ”

Someone else said, "Then who says it's not?" ”

Another said, "They are a nest of snakes and rats." ”

This won everyone's approval, and everyone agreed: "Yes, yes, they are a family." ”

Another old man said: "Alas, why are these kings so fierce, it's really black." As he spoke, he touched his swollen cheek.

Naturally, Niu Ba was also beaten. However, he did not say a word or talk to everyone, but just crouched down in front of the bookcase and wrote hard. At this time, the Zen door of the meditation hall where everyone lived was suddenly pushed open, and the great monk walked in with the little apprentice.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and complaining, and stood up one after another and saluted the great monk.

The big monk said: "The little monk heard that some of your donors here are injured, and I have some hemostatic medicine here, you can use it first." ”

Niu Ba put down the pen and folded his hands, and said to the great monk, "Thank you, master." As he spoke, he took the hemostatic medicine handed over by the monk and handed it to Da Lian, who took it and spread it with everyone without mentioning it.

The great monk turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Niu Ba, who stepped forward and saluted again, and said respectfully: "The three days I said to the master earlier are not enough, and we want to stay for a few days." ”

The great monk also returned the salute.

Niu Ba said and reached out to touch his pocket and sleeve, trying to find some money, but after feeling for a long time, he only found a small bag of broken silver taels.

Niu Bawan was embarrassed, and said to the great monk with a guilty face: "These are all the silver taels I have, not enough rent, let's find a way to ask the master not to mind." ”

Unexpectedly, the great monk did not reach out to take it, but shook his hand to stop it: "I have heard about the donors, you can live as long as you want." ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, Niu Ba thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at the great monk in a daze, and the big monk didn't say much, and the chief saluted and said: "Amitabha." And he drifted away.

Everyone was overjoyed and exclaimed, "This is really a living bodhisattva." Everyone in the room neatly walked towards the back of the great monk, respectfully clasped their hands and saluted, and said that the Buddha was continuous.

Niu Ba suddenly remembered that he had said a three-day period when he came, and although the great monk had not broken it at that time, he had already decided that it would not be possible. Niu Ba thought to himself, this great monk is also a master of the world.

In the mansion of the main body of the alliance, Zhao Sanyuan looked at the letter sent by Shangguan Hu's cousin Yu Wen at a glance, and after reading it, he threw it away, put his hand behind him and said, "Shangguan Hu is so careless in governing Wuling. ”
