Chapter 55: Tearing Face
Wangjiazhuang, 100 official halls.
Jia Jingtao and Sun Qian's heads were placed side by side on the table, blood flowing out of the cracks in the wooden box, and it was falling to the ground on the edge of the table.
Wang Weizhen, the officer of the management team, looked at the two bloody heads with a pale face and said nothing, but Jia Hongyu next to him was already furious, standing aside and scolding, eager to throw the heads of Jia Jingtao and Sun Qian out to feed the dogs.
At this time, Liu Yan sat aside, the small flag official Wang Yue stood aside respectfully, Miao Shao was left in the salt field by Liu Yan, and together with Zhang Yi, the two led the two banners to guard the salt field in case of accidents.
Liu Yan looked at Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu, and then said loudly: "Adults should know Jia Jingtao, this person is the head of Old Lady Xu's family, he and Sun Qian are mixed together, and they attack the salt field at night together, which is enough to explain everything." ”
"In addition, according to what Jia Jingtao said, among the thieves who attacked the salt field at night, there are more than a dozen members of the Xu family, which shows that Old Lady Xu has made up his mind to officially declare war with us!"
"Bastard!"
Wang Weizhen slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and then said angrily: "I wanted to be safe with the old thief of the Xu family, but I didn't want the old thief to spy on the sea salt business, so I dared to collude with the salt lord to attack the salt drying field, his intentions are so vicious, how can this official tolerate him!" ”
Jia Hongyu immediately clenched his fists and said: "My lord, my subordinates will go and gather people and horses, and let Liu Zongqi also go back to gather the elite of Dapanbao, let's discuss how to destroy the Xu family to relieve the hatred in our hearts!" ”
Wang Weizhen nodded slightly, but then he thought about something, sat back again, looked at Liu Yan and said: "But then again, behind the Xu family is Dai Baihu in front of the Qianhu in Xiahe Village, this person is notoriously insidious and cunning, if we directly declare war with the Xu family, it is difficult to guarantee that Dai Baihu will not secretly commit a black hand." ”
Liu Yan knew Wang Weizhen's thoughts, he just had a stake in the salt field, and now he had his own troops to guard the salt plant, and the Xu family would not be able to bargain for a while, so Wang Weizhen didn't want to go into battle shirtless, so as not to trap himself in.
So Liu Yan got up and clasped his fists and said: "What the lord said is very reasonable, since this is the case, then the subordinates think that this matter is better than this." ”
Wang Weizhen leaned over and asked, "What countermeasures does Liu Zongqi have?" ”
Liu Yan said: "In the opinion of my subordinates, since the Xu family has come to the door, the subordinates must not fail to express that my Dapanbao must fight back." This time against the Xu family, the subordinates led the troops to attack head-on, and the subordinates promised to the adults today: they must fight with the Xu family to the end! ”
"As for the adult's side, the subordinates still hope that the adults can help cover up at a critical time, and after the end at this time, help the subordinates take care of the beginning and end. I don't know what adults think? ”
Wang Weizhen thought for a moment, then agreed with a smile: "This is the best, we should indeed be bright and dark, so that there is room for maneuver." Liu Zongqi can rest assured, this time you just have to let it go, and your own official will take care of the beginning and end for you, and cover it up on behalf of the official. ”
Seeing this, Jia Hongyu sighed slightly, and then asked, "Then what is Liu Zongqi going to do next?" ”
Liu Yan said: "On the way to Wangjiazhuang, I have already thought about it. ”
With that, Liu Yan walked to the table, pointed to the two bloody heads and said, "I'm going to write a war letter, and then take these two heads to the Xu family and declare war on the old thief of the Xu family in person!" ”
Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu were suddenly startled, and the two of them stood up to oppose it.
Wang Weizhen said: "Liu Zongqi, don't be impulsive, won't you fall into the net this time?" Now that Jia Jingtao is dead, the two sides have torn their faces, and Liu Zongqi has arrived at the Xu family's mansion, so the old thief of the Xu family may not be able to do something! ”
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates are sure that the old thief of the Xu family will not do it in person." ”
"Why, what basis does Liu Zongqi have?"
"The subordinates suddenly came to the door with the war book and the head, and the old thief of the Xu family must not be able to figure out the depth, and most of them dare not act rashly. Moreover, the old thief of the Xu family spared his life, he didn't have the courage to do it with me in person, otherwise his subordinates had the confidence to take it down directly! ”
Wang Weizhen looked at Liu Yan, who was full of confidence, shook his head and said, "I think it's better to be cautious." ”
Jia Hongyu looked at Liu Yan with admiration and said, "If Liu Zongqi insists on going, why don't I send you some good hands to accompany you." ”
Liu Yan first thanked Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu, and then said: "No, I'll just take Wang Xiaoqi and a few dun soldiers to go." ”
This time, Liu Yan came to Wangjiazhuang, only bringing the small flag official Wang Yue and a team of dun soldiers, a total of more than a dozen people.
Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu looked at Liu Yan, with indescribable admiration in their hearts, as if they saw Guan Erye, who was ready to go to the meeting alone. But the two still thought that this trip was too dangerous, and Liu Yan was a little too pretentious.
Liu Yan insisted on his opinion, talked to Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu for a while, then got up to say goodbye, and took the small flag official Wang Yue out of the hundred official halls.
Wang Weizhen sent it to the door of the main hall, and asked Jia Hongyu to send it outside the gate.
At the door, Liu Yan and Wang Yue joined the twelve dun soldiers who were waiting, and Liu Yan hugged his fists with Jia Hongyu to say goodbye: "Brother Jia, go back, after I finish the war today, I will return to Dapanbao directly, and I will deploy a lot of things after I go back." ”
Jia Hongyu worriedly persuaded a few more words, and when he saw that Liu Yan had made up his mind, he clasped his fists and said, "Then I will wish you success, brother!" ”
Liu Yan and the others said goodbye to Jia Hongyu and soon came to the Xu family's house. The twelve dun soldiers were all fully armed, with spears and bird guns all on their bodies, and everyone even put on their armor.
Liu Yan stood at the front, and when he saw that the door of the Xu family was closed, he beckoned, and the little flag official Wang Yue stepped forward and knocked heavily on the door with his waist knife: "Open the door!" If you have any gasps, open the door to Lao Tzu! ”
Wang Yue, the little flag official, was like a bandit, and after knocking for a while, the door of the Xu family slowly opened, and a family member poked his head out, and when he saw Liu Yan and the others who were not good, he was immediately startled, and pretended to be calm and said: "Where are you soldiers, what are you going to do!" This is the Xu family's house, and everyone is impatient! ”
Wang Yue, the little flag official, didn't bother to pay attention to it, and slapped the Xu family in the face directly, only to hear an oops, and the family fell to the ground, covering his face and looking at Wang Yue in horror.
Liu Yan led the twelve dun soldiers to stride into the gate and go straight to the backyard.
When Liu Yan and the others walked to the main room in the front yard, a large number of Xu family members rushed over from everywhere, led by a man in his early thirties who was very burly, holding a long knife in his hand and roaring angrily: "Who is presumptuous here, looking for death!" ”
The surrounding forty or fifty Xu family members were all armed with sticks, knives and guns, and surrounded Liu Yan and the others violently.
Seeing this, Liu Yan was not afraid, and retreated to a corner with twelve dun soldiers and the small flag official Wang Yue, and then quickly formed a formation to confront the Zhongjiading.
"Bird Hands Ready!"
The five bird guns raised their jet-black bird guns, and those Xu family members suddenly panicked and took a few steps back.
Liu Yan pointed to the man in his early thirties and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Lao Tzu Jia Jinglang is the younger brother of Jia Jingtao, the head of the Xu family, and is currently the deputy head of the family. Lao Tzu looks at you, isn't it Liu Yan, the first captain of Dapan Fort? ”
"Exactly, you're not stupid."
Liu Yan sneered, and then said loudly: "Let the old thief of the Xu family get out of here!" ”
"Bastard!"
"Bold!"
"You're looking for death!"
Dozens of Xu family members suddenly blew up their nests, and they all shouted and scolded Liu Yan, Jia Jinglang was also furious, and was about to give the order to fight, but suddenly saw the housekeeper running in a hurry.
"The old lady is here, you guys stand down for the time being, and you must not be rude to Mr. Liu!"
Jia Jinglang snorted coldly and motioned to all the family members to take a few steps back, but they still surrounded Liu Yan and the others, as long as Jia Jinglang gave an order, these forty or fifty family members could rush up at any time.
Liu Yan looked at these family members and said playfully: "Oh? It seems that I have trained on weekdays, so I am not an ordinary rabble. ”
Wang Yue, the little flag official, said: "Cut! Captain A looks up to them too much, compared to the soldiers of our Dapan Fort, they are bullshit! ”
At this time, Wang Yue had Liu Yan by his side, quite a fox, a fake tiger, and his words became more and more sharp.
After a while, Mrs. Xu walked over with the support of two maids, looking at such a scene, her face was very ugly.
"Liu Zongqi is so aggressive, I don't know what advice you have?"
Liu Yan looked at the trembling old lady Xu, and said with a sneer: "I can't talk about advice, I came here today to give a big gift to old lady Xu!" ”
"Hehe, gift-giving? Gift-givers can use knives and guns! ”
Liu Yan waved his hand, and Wang Yue, the small flag official, took the wooden box from the hands of a dun soldier, and then placed it on the ground in the center of the two sides: "Come on, open it and take a look." ”
Jia Jinglang looked at Old Lady Xu, only to see her chin raised, and said, "Go and have a look." ”
Jia Jinglang stepped forward to open the wooden box, and suddenly roared angrily, and everyone around him, including Mrs. Xu, stretched his neck to look over, only to see two bloody heads placed side by side in the wooden box, one of which was Jia Jingtao!
"I'll kill you!"
Jia Jinglang immediately grabbed the knife and rushed over, and the little flag official Wang Yue drew his knife to meet him, but he was slashed by Jia Jinglang and fell to the ground on his back.
Liu Yan was not afraid when he saw this, the Yanling knife was already in his hand, and he rushed up, holding the knife in both hands to sweep away thousands of troops, although Jia Jinglang was eager to avenge his brother, but in the face of this knife from the waist, he didn't dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly changed his move to block the horizontal knife.
Hearing only a bang, the Yanling knife in Liu Yan's hand continued unabated, directly crashing Jia Jinglang's long knife. At the same time, Liu Yan leaned on the iron mountain with a move, and directly flew Jia Jinglang with one elbow, Jia Jinglang fell heavily to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out directly, and the tiger's mouths on both hands were faintly cracked, trembling and unable to hold the knife.
All the surrounding family members were shocked when they saw this, everyone knew Jia Jinglang's force, none of the Xu family members present were Jia Jinglang's opponents, but such a strong man was in a state of anger, and he couldn't hold out for a round under Liu Yan's hands!
At this time, the momentum of the Xu family has been suppressed by Liu Yan a lot, and when the old lady Xu saw this, he had to let someone help Jia Jinglang down to treat his injuries first.
"Okay, the old man's people have beaten and killed, and Liu Zongqi came here today to lift the table, right?"
Liu Yan sneered, took out a battle letter written in advance, slammed it on the ground, and said, "Flip the table? Old lady Xu won't fail to recognize who the other head is, right? That's the salt lord Sun Qian! ”
Old lady Xu frowned suddenly, he really hadn't seen Sun Qian, he was all contacted by Liu Dayu. Now that Sun Qian has also died at the hands of Liu Yan, it is enough to show that the Xu family's attempt to contact the salt lord to dry the salt farm has been exposed!
"Then what does Liu Zongqi want to do?"
Liu Yan pointed to the war book on the ground and said: "I came here today, just to declare war, this is the war book, and please accept it from Mrs. Xu, let's come to Japan for a long time, and there is a chance to get it!" ”
After speaking, Liu Yan led everyone away, and the Xu family did not dare to stop them.
And the old lady Xu looked out of the gate with a gloomy face, and only after a long time did he say to the housekeeper beside him: "Immediately send someone to find Dai Baihu in the Qianqian Household of Xiahe Village, and do what the old man said before." ”
"Yes, the old servant will do it."
