Shi Potian and Liu Wushuang heard shouting outside, and for some reason, they wanted to find out, but Aunt Yang repeatedly dissuaded them.

Shi Potian: "Aunt Yang doesn't have to stop me anymore, I'll come when I go." Without waiting for Aunt Yang's reaction, he walked out of the house with Liu Wushuang.

Aunt Yang couldn't stop her, so she had to let him go, and she didn't forget to advise: "Shi Shaoxia, don't be impulsive." ”

Shi Potian and Liu Wushuang saw a crowd gathering from a distance, and a scream came into their ears, as if someone was fighting again, so they walked towards the crowd.

The two finally got in.

Seeing that several officials were beating the villagers, the villagers were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and they couldn't stop crying, but they didn't fight back.

When Shi Potian saw Uncle Yang, he walked to his side and asked in a whisper, "Uncle Yang, why did you start fighting?" ”

Uncle Yang replied in a low voice: "Shi Shaoxia, and don't be impulsive, the official sent to collect the grain, we couldn't take it, the official sent to beat the village chief, those few people couldn't look past it, so they went over to protect it, and then they were beaten together, and they didn't dare to fight back, so they could only endure it, and they could only endure it, and they would endure it." ”

Shi Potian: "The official is so arrogant and unreasonable, how dare you fight back." ”

Uncle Yang: "Shi Shaoxia doesn't know, the people don't fight with the officials, and do you see the knives in their hands, but they can kill." ”

Shi Potian said angrily: "If you kill people for no reason, is there no royal law?" ”

Uncle Yang: "In this world, where is there still a king's law, in troubled times, the county order is the king's law, and it's good to be alive." ”

As he spoke, the fat-faced official said, "Okay, okay, let's stop first." After hearing the leader's words, the officials who beat people stopped.

The fat-faced official: "Old man, how is it, can you take out this grain?" ”

The thin old man got up from the ground, his face was swollen, there was still blood in his mouth, and he said vaguely and tremblingly: "Official, there is really no food to pay tribute in the village, and even if you kill the old man today, you can't get out the food." ”

The fat-faced official said angrily: "You old immortal, your mouth is quite hard, I think you are really tired of being alive, I think the brothers are light." Brothers, beat me to death. ”

When everyone heard this, they collectively knelt on the ground and cried: "Official, you can spare Lao Cunzheng, we really have no food." ”

The fat-faced official said contemptuously: "I'm not here to listen to you cry poor, call me." ”

"Wait." Shi Potian shouted.

Uncle Yang hurriedly pulled down Shi Potian and whispered: "Shi Shaoxia, what do you want to do, this official can't be messed with." ”

The fat-faced official swept to the crowd with interest: "What is it that you don't want to live said, interesting, stand up, I'll see." ”

Shi Potian was about to stand up, when suddenly a sound of horses' hooves sounded. Someone shouted, "A robber is coming, run away." "The village was in chaos in an instant.

Several horses arrived in the village in an instant, followed by dozens of robbers with various weapons.

I only heard the leader of the robbers shouting: "Give me all honest squatting, and Lao Tzu will spare you." ”

Soon the robbers surrounded the crowd.

I saw the leader of the robbers leaping down from the horse, and when he saw more than a dozen officials, he said happily: "Yes, I didn't expect that there are big fish in this poor country." Blessed are the brethren today. ”

The officials saw that a group of robbers had surrounded them, and although they had bright knives in their hands, they could not help but tremble, and they had long lost the momentum they had when they came.

The fat-faced official saw the bandit leader coming over, and said tremblingly: "What do you want to do, in broad daylight, we are government personnel." ”

The bandit leader with his hair was overjoyed. said to the fat-faced official: "The people of the government, the people of the government are good, Lao Tzu is robbing the people of the government." ”

The fat-faced official whispered, "Bold." He said to several officials around him, "A few of you will give it to me."

Those officials had numb scalps, and they could only hold knives and force them.

The bandit leader with his hair scattered saw several people slashing at him with knives, and he was not afraid at all, one of them flashed sideways, turned around and kicked them, and in two or three rounds he put those officials to the ground. Then he walked towards the fat-faced official in the lead.

The fat-faced official saw that the bandit leader was so powerful, and said weakly: "What do you want to do?" Before the bandit leader came to him, he knelt down on the ground with weak legs and said, "Big brother, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, so you can let me go." ”

The leader of the robbers picked up the fat-faced official like a chicken, and punched the fat-faced official several times, rolling out a few meters away, and the blood flowed from his mouth, and he didn't know how many teeth he had lost.

The leader of the robbers: "Wasn't you still very arrogant just now, call Grandpa Lao Tzu, and then hand over all the money on your body, and Lao Tzu will let you go." ”

The fat-faced official who was beaten got up: "Grandpa spares his life, and the little one will take out the money." As he spoke, he searched his body, took out a few silver ingots, and held them in front of the bandit leader.

The leader of the bandits reached out and took the silver ingot, and kicked the fat-faced officer away again.

"That's pretty much it," he said. Then he turned to the other officials and said, "What about yours, do you want to turn them in after being beaten?" ”

When the other officials heard this, they hurriedly searched for the silver on their bodies and held it above their heads, knelt on the ground and said, "Grandpa spares his life, the little ones don't dare, they don't dare." ”

The leader of the robbers took the broken silver from the other officials one by one. Then he said to them: "Okay, get out, in the future, do less bullying things, and if I get caught again, I will not spare it." ”

The officials climbed one after another, helped up the fat-faced official, and said while retreating: "The little one won't dare next time, don't dare." ”

The leader of the robbers: "Wait, Lao Tzu sees that the quality of your official uniform is not bad, take it off for me, and then leave." ”

Those officials didn't dare to disobey, so they had to stop and take off their official uniforms, and then said as they ran: "The little one retires." ”

When the officials walked away, the bandit leader walked in front of the beaten village, lifted his messy hair and knelt on the ground: "Uncle, it's me, Xiaoqiang." ”

Na Mura Zheng looked at it carefully and said, "Are you Xiaoqiang?" Are you really Xiaoqiang? ”

The leader of the robbers said: "Abo, it's me, Xiaoqiang, it's me who can't stand you, it's too late." ”

The older people in the village began to look up at the bandit leader carefully, and whispered, "It really looks like Xiaoqiang who left the village ten years ago." ”

Everyone was still scared, but when they saw the bandit leader, their faces were full of tears, and they finally believed that the bandit leader was Xiaoqiang, who left the village ten years ago.

The leader of the robbers stood up and said to the people who were squatting on the ground: "Fathers and fellow villagers, get up, it's my strong son who can't stand everyone, and I kowtow to everyone to admit my mistake." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to everyone to admit his mistake.

Everyone hurriedly stretched out their hands to help, and said, "Qiangzi, it's good to be back, it's good to be back." ”
