Chapter 12: Helping Hands
The dozen or so loafers were a little dazed by the three Chen Xun who suddenly came out, and they were a little embarrassed by the three of them when they were caught off guard, but after a period of panic, the group of loafers saw clearly that there were only three people rushing in, and their arrogance became arrogant again, and they surrounded Chen Xun and the three of them.
"Yohe, where did the poor soldiers come from, they dared to make trouble in Wangjiazhuang and wanted to die? Don't get out of the way yet! ”
"Just a few of you want to be a good man here, I don't think you have the ability to fight!"
"This is Wangjiazhuang, where the official hall of a hundred households is located, not a fire pier anywhere, if you don't want to die, get out of the way for Lao Tzu!"
At this time, Wang Jing's father and daughter were already frightened by the battle in front of them, and those wanderers shouted and scolded one after another, both of them were just honest businessmen, where had they ever seen such a scene?
Wang Jing's father and daughter looked at the three Chen Xun who suddenly appeared, as if they had seen a life-saving straw, and involuntarily leaned over, hoping that they could be saved. But after all, there are many people who are loafers, and at this time, the father and daughter don't know what to do, and the situation is clear-eyed and people know that they can't hide at a glance, and the father and daughter can't stop crying.
In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and a group of loafers clamored to step forward to make a move, and Chen Xun and the three of them were also sweating profusely. So Chen Xun and the three of them raised their sticks one after another, roaring angrily and scolding the wanderers, delaying time as much as possible.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind the wanderers, followed by a second scream, and then all the wanderers came back to their senses, and they followed the sound to look, and a tall and strong figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.
I saw Liu Yan, who was carrying a tiger on his back, strode forward, holding a Yanling knife in his hand, and one person had already knocked over the two wanderers outside, both of whom were injured in the head, and at this time they fell to the ground full of blood, and they already knew whether they were alive or dead.
You must know that the weapon in Liu Yan's hand is not a wooden stick, but a cold and light Yanling knife, and bloodstains can be seen on the knife. After seeing these clearly, the wanderers gasped one after another, they had collected money to come and make trouble, but they were not fighting with such an outlaw soldier! These wanderers still know which is more important.
Liu Yan walked into the crowd of wanderers step by step, not taking everyone in his eyes at all, holding a Yanling knife in his hand, and at the same time his cold eyes swept over everyone, and he actually suppressed more than a dozen wanderers with sticks, all of whom did not dare to do it easily, after all, the wooden stick could not beat the Yanling knife, which everyone understands, even if there are many people, no one is willing to stand up and be stabbed at this time.
"Who are you? Put the knife down! ”
Liu Yan walked in front of Chen Xun and the others, then looked around, and said in a cold voice: "Da Pan Dun, Liu Yan, the first chief." ”
"Huh? He is Liu Yan! ”
"I heard that the armor chief of Huangshandun was killed by him with an arrow, and he destroyed the entire Huangshandun alone!"
"This is a hard hand, we didn't say that we would encounter such a hard hand when we came!"
In fact, Liu Yan only injured the commander of Huangshandun with an arrow, and the rest of the things were taken care of by Wang Weizhen, the officer of the team. But at this time, when it came to the mouths of these wanderers, it was greatly exaggerated, and Liu Yan naturally didn't say anything.
Liu Yan walked to Chen Xun and the others, then raised the Yanling knife, turned around at the group of wanderers, and said in a cold voice: "I have protected this Wanfu Oil Mill!" No matter who is behind you, today you bring me a message, if you have something, come to me Liu Yan in Dapandun, if anyone embarrasses Wang Jing's father and daughter again in the future, I will let him splash his blood in five steps! ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yunhe, who was teary-eyed, suddenly looked at Liu Yan, his eyes were full of gratitude, and the haze in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Although there were only four people on Liu Yan's side, more than a dozen wanderers did not dare to make a move.
There was a leader in the wanderer's hand, who was tall and strong, and at this time the leader felt that he had lost face, so he mustered up the courage to shout and curse, and then rushed forward with a wooden club.
"I'm ...... you"
Before he finished saying a dirty word, Liu Yan's Yanling knife had already slashed head-on. The loafer leader was shocked and hurriedly used a wooden stick to resist, but Liu Yan cut off the stick with a knife. Then the blade of the Yan Ling knife slashed down the left arm of the wandering leader, and blood was dripping in an instant.
"Ahh
The loafer leader fell to the ground with a wail, and at this time his left arm was already covered with blood, and a shocking wound rolled outward, and a large stream of blood continued to flow out, and suddenly frightened the loafers to flee in all directions.
Chen Xun saw the opportunity quickly, took three steps and made two steps, directly knocked down a wanderer, and said angrily: "Take this goods away, and then relay the words of our first chief back, understand!" ”
"Yes, yes, the little one understands."
Moments later, the wanderers were gone, and the wounded leader was dragged away by the two wanderers, leaving only blood all over the ground.
At this time, Wang Jing's father and daughter stepped forward to thank him: "Little Wang Jing and the little queen Yunhe pay a visit to Engong!" ”
After speaking, Wang Jing's father and daughter were about to bow to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, I, Liu Yan, am a Daming Dunjun, and I will naturally not turn a blind eye when I see such things." ”
Wang Jing and Wang Yunhe immediately beckoned Liu Yan and the others into the house to talk, and instructed a few guys to quickly close the door and put on the board, and they couldn't do it again today anyway.
After entering the house, Liu Yan looked at Wang Jing, and saw that Wang Jing was in his forties, with a moderate figure, and an honest and responsible face, but at this time he was full of sadness.
After everyone sat down, Wang Jing hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Liu's righteousness is awe-inspiring, and the little ones are grateful. It's just that those loafers were all sent by Old Lady Xu, and they had already made trouble a few times before, but I didn't expect that this time they would directly beat people and smash the store......"
Speaking of this, Wang Jing choked up a little, obviously he had suffered too many grievances during this time, and he couldn't talk anymore.
Liu Yan asked, "Is the shopkeeper Wang having a grudge with Mrs. Xu?" ”
Wang Yunhe said a little angrily: "Engong doesn't know, there are three oil mills in this Wangjiazhuang, and the other two are the industries of Mrs. Xu. And my family's oil mill has always been of good quality and low price, and my sister-in-law has no time, so it is the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of the old lady Xu. ”
At this time, Wang Jing calmed down, signaled Wang Yunhe not to say any more, and then lowered his voice and said: "It was the old lady Xu who wanted to buy the villain's oil mill, but he lowered the price and only paid ten taels of silver. The little ones are unwilling, so they keep letting the wanderers come over and stir things up. ”
Liu Yan nodded and said, "So that's the case, but after today's events, presumably the old lady Xu will also die down for a while." ”
Wang Jing said with both hands: "I hope so, I hope so!" ”
Then Wang Jing greeted him and said, "Yun Niang, go and prepare wine and food, and treat Engong well today." ”
"Yes."
Wang Yunhe first made a blessing to Liu Yan and the others, and then went out to prepare wine and food.
At this time, Liu Yan said: "Shopkeeper Wang, I came to buy oil today and I have gained something, the quality of your soybean oil is very good, and the price is moderate, so I am ready to trade with your account for a long time." ”
"Well, that's a good thing."
Wang Jing was overjoyed, he was shocked at first today, and now he is happy about something, which makes Wang Jing's mood go up and down, and he feels a little trance.
Then Wang Jing asked, "I just don't know what kind of transaction Engong is going to do?" ”
Liu Yan thought for a while and said: "I need a lot of soybean oil every month, so let's prepare twenty catties of soybean oil for me every month, which is scheduled for the 25th at the end of each month, and I will send someone to pick it up. ”
Wang Jing naturally agreed, and was able to do business with Liu Yan, Wang Jing was very down-to-earth. Although Liu Yan is a powerful person, and the reputation of the Ming army is not very good at this time, Liu Yan is different, not only does he act righteously, but also talks quite politely, which makes Wang Jing very down-to-earth.
"Naturally, it's no problem, don't worry, I will prepare the best soybean oil every month, and I will never miss Engong's business."
While speaking, Wang Yunhe prepared the wine and food, and the dishes were served one by one, and a jar of spirits was scalded, and Chen Xun and the three of them looked at the table full of wine and food, and suddenly their index fingers moved.
Liu Yan looked at it, the wine and food on the table were not delicacies, but they were made with all the color, flavor and flavor, and it could be seen that every dish was Wang Yunhe's heart.
Wang Jing beckoned everyone to sit down, and had to push the cup to change the lamp, Wang Yunhe couldn't go to the table, so after thanking Liu Yan, he bowed his head and went to the room to eat.
Seeing this, Chen Xun and the three of them all looked at Liu Yan with a smile, and Wang Jing also saw the clue, first smiling, but then sighing slightly.
In the evening, Liu Yan and his entourage came out of Wanfu Oil Mill and rode an ox cart in the direction of Dapandun.
At the same time, the leader of the loafers who was slashed by Liu Yan was bandaged indiscriminately by several loyasers, and then carried to the Xu family's mansion with a wooden pole.
When Old Lady Xu looked at the leader who was covered in blood and had already fallen unconscious, his face became very ugly.
"So, Liu Yan did it?"
"It's Liu Yan, the name he reported in public, he can't be wrong!"
Old lady Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Is this Liu Yan deliberately trying to get along with the old man?" My nephew has already run back, and now he wants to protect Wanfu Oil Mill again, what is he going to do Liu Yan! ”
"Master, I'm all doing things for the Xu family, and my brother is seriously injured, what can we do in the future!"
A few wanderers began to cry, apparently determined to eat Old Lady Xu.
I saw that Mrs. Xu sneered and said, "Yes, you are doing things for the old man, and the old man almost forgot!" ”
After speaking, the old lady Xu turned around and left with the support of the two maids, and the few loafers stepped forward one after another when they saw this, but they were stopped by a group of burly men.
"Huh? What are you doing! I'll have to make it clear to the old lady later......"
"It's all your own people, if you have something to say, let's go over first, let's go back......"
A few wanderers were still talking about something, but in the blink of an eye, they were pressed to the ground and beaten violently by several burly men.
Those wanderers were naturally not opponents, they were beaten and their faces were covered with blood, and soon there was no sound, and then they were dragged to the backyard by several burly men like broken sacks.
