Chapter 49: Back to the Village

Shi Cheng hurried back to the village and saw the gathered villagers in the open space in the village.

On the way back to the village, Agulan, who came to look for Shi Cheng and the others, told everything that happened in the village in the morning.

The two Batu soldiers who came with Agulan to get people originally planned to make things difficult for Shi Cheng, but after hearing about Shi Cheng's immortal identity from Agulan's mouth, this thought disappeared without a trace, coupled with Wu Neng's cold moon face, the two Batu soldiers became cringe after seeing Shi Cheng and the three of them.

It was precisely because of this that there were no twists and turns on the way back for Shi Cheng and the others, and Shi Cheng had enough time to ask Agulan about the current situation in the village.

After asking everything, Shi Cheng was silent, he sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

There were so many people gathered in the clearing that when Shi Cheng and the others returned, many of the villagers who were in fear didn't even notice them.

Shi Cheng stood quietly outside the crowd, somehow, he really didn't want to go to the front to face what was going to happen next.

The two accompanying Batu soldiers didn't care about the behavior of Shi Cheng and the others, and since they had brought them back, the two of them hurriedly ran back to hand over the errand.

The leading officer Batu impatiently gave the Kawa officer who had come with them a kick and motioned for them to hurry up.

An older Kawa officer walked a few steps with his head bowed, stammered for a while, and said, "Fellow villagers, there is a very important matter to announce when you are summoned here today. ”

"From today onwards, the government has decided to remove Chapas, Adecha and other traitors from their posts, and General Poye will temporarily take over the post of leader of the government......"

There was a burst of exclamations among the villagers, who had been with the members of the Officers' League for some time, and naturally knew who these people were Capas and Adecha.

Amid the shouts of Batu's soldiers, the crowd barely fell silent.

Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Officer Kawa stiffened his head again, took out a long roll of bark paper, and hurriedly read out a "twenty-point indictment" of the crimes of Chapas and others.

Nearly a stick of incense had passed, and the officer had finally finished reading the bark paper, rolled back the papyrus in his hand, and then immediately dodged to the side, giving up his place to Officer Batu, who had been waiting impatiently.

The officer of Batu stepped forward, tilted his head slightly, and announced the main topic of their arrival today, the lingua franca of Batu and Kawa is Chuze, so there is no major obstacle to communication between the people of the two countries.

"The source of the chaos has been removed, and you are free!" As he spoke, Officer Batu looked at the villagers condescendingly, and the two mustaches on his lips jumped and jumped, "Cempas and the others are unrepentant and stubborn, and now they have all been executed!" All the decrees issued by the Cha government today shall be repealed and partially restored and adjusted according to the circumstances of the coming day......"

When it was the turn of the Batu officer to speak, the impatience on his face was quickly swept away, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.

After a rousing speech, the Batu officer finally ended his speech, and although the villagers could not fully understand his tone of forcibly mixing with the people of Xialiba, the general meaning could still be understood, one of which was to revoke all the decrees issued by the new government; The second is to dismiss all the members of the Officers' League and arrest the core members of them; Finally, new people are selected to manage the affairs of Xianyou Village.

"Well, let's ...... about the new chief," Mr. Officer cleared his throat, and as he was about to announce his next move, a voice full of humility rang out in the crowd in front of him to the right.

"Your Excellency, before you read out your decision, would you like to listen to one of your own opinions?" Jika, the former village chief, squeezed out of the crowd, and today he was radiant, and his face was no longer gloomy.

Officer Batu turned his head in displeasure, but when he saw Jika's rather decent demeanor, he gave Jika some patience.

"What do you have to say?" The officer asked.

"My lord, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Jika, the former head of this village, a poor man who used to have a peaceful and free life, but was later persecuted by tyranny." When Jika said this, he couldn't help but feel sad, but in the eyes of Shi Cheng in the distance, the expression on Jika's face was indeed true.

When the villagers who were close to heard this, they all became angry from the bottom of their hearts, and the voices of "shameless" and "you old dog deserve it" sounded in the crowd one after another.

"Silence!" "Shut up!" The Batu soldiers, who were maintaining order all around, brandished wooden guns and roared angrily, calming the restless crowd again.

The officer Batu in front of Jika's meeting didn't seem to be moved by his words, and his heart became more and more agitated, and as he was thinking about it, his eyes fell on the cold moon people who were sitting in chairs and talking to each other behind the officer.

Just when Jika first saw those Cold Moon People, he felt that one of them was quite familiar, and his head was racing rapidly, and he finally remembered the identity of the Cold Moon Man.

"Deacon Fuan, is it Deacon Fu?" Jika excitedly shouted at a cold moon man.

The cold moon man, who was wearing a blue rainforest robe and was talking about business with his companions, turned around, his face was displeased and surprised, as if he didn't expect that someone in this small village would actually know him.

Tomiyasu got up from his chair, walked over to Jika, and asked, "Are you?" ”

"Deacon Fu, have you forgotten me? I'm Jika, the head of this village, and the last time your chamber of commerce came to our village to buy grain, it was a note signed by you. ”

Tomiyasu thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that before the civil strife in Kawa, he had indeed personally gone to the village in Gyeonggi in Kawa to buy grain.

With this relationship, coupled with the promise of a lot of benefits, Jika finally made Tomiyasu nod, and then used a set of successful coaxing to deceive the officer Batu to finally agree to his request to restore the status of the village chief, Tomiyasu didn't care about this, since there was a suitable person to cooperate with in front of him, then what else was there to worry about.

The process of selecting the new village chief was soon over, and Officer Batu turned his attention to the new prisoners at the front of the crowd who were bound up and were members of the officers' league.

The Batu soldiers and the accompanying merchants of the Cold Moon will stay in the village for one night, and tomorrow they will bring all the prisoners back to Kawa City, before that, according to the agreement between the Intervention Army and Poye, the core members must be imprisoned, and the new members will be censored, and the members who are willing to change the court can temporarily restore some of their personal freedom, but the diehards will be imprisoned along with the backbone.

Several of the stronger Batu soldiers walked up behind the prisoners, pushed and shoved them in front of the officers and the cold moon people, and with the assistance of the Kawa officer, who had just read out the twenty charges, they questioned them one by one.

"Old Shi, these people are too much!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Neng was furious in his heart, and he wanted to go on stage to reason with the Batu soldiers.

Shi Cheng didn't say a word, his hand sometimes clenched, sometimes loosened.

Of the first three members of the alliance to be interrogated in public, two quickly succumbed, and the other was an old member of Xianyou Village who had come with them to Teso, and after pointing at the noses of the Kawa officer and the Batu people, he was beaten with a stick by the Batu soldiers beside him and dragged aside.

"Next!" Officer Batu waved impatiently at Officer Kawa, motioning for him to hurry up and interrogate the next member of the Officers' League.

Officer Kawa nodded hurriedly and walked briskly in front of the little military doctor, Ferrejo.

Ever since he had been dragged to the open field by Batu's soldiers, the little medic had been quiet and terrible, and when he noticed that someone had come in front of him, he looked up expressionlessly, and looked straight at his former comrade in front of him with dark eyes.

Looking at Ferrejo's thin but still childish face, the officer was a little unbearable for a while, but he still hardened his heart and asked, "Your name, position!" ”

No one responded to his questions.

"Are you deaf! Name, job title! ”

Still no one responded.

Jika hurriedly came up, pointed to the little military doctor's nose and said hatefully: "He is the henchman of the rebel village chief before, and many of the violent orders of the rebels in Chapas were carried out with the help of this little bastard!" ”

The little medic felt as if he was dead, he just stood still, silent, unresponsive to Jika's anger.

"I'll ask you again, name, position!"

Ferrejo in front of him finally spat out a word.

"Traitor."

He then stopped responding.

The Kawa officer who interrogated Ferrejo sweated in his head, and he looked back in panic at Officer Batu, whose face was getting darker and darker, and in a hurry, he slapped Ferrejo's face.

"Look at me, you little bitch, look at my ......"

But Officer Kawa's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Wu Neng suddenly appeared beside him at some point, his sharp eyes forced him to look at the officer, and the officer's hand was clenched in his palm as if it was caught by a solid cast iron.

"You...... You're ......." Officer Kawa's face flushed, "Oops, it hurts...... It hurts, let go of me! ”

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian also squeezed out of the crowd.

Jika's shrill voice sounded at the same time, "My lord, there are also these evil ways, it is them, if they hadn't aided the thieves these days, the tyranny of the rebels who tarnished the honor of the Holy Venerable would not have been carried out so smoothly in our village!" They are heresies, enemies of the Holy Ones, please take them down too! ”

Officer Batu's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that he would actually see three foreigners here, so he hesitated for a while when he first saw Wu Neng and the others, but in the end, he still waved his hand lightly, and the six soldiers immediately approached.

"Slow, dare to ask if this son's surname is Wu?" A Cold Moon merchant sitting in the back seemed to remember something when he saw Wu Neng's face, and quickly stood up and walked quickly towards Wu Neng.

Wu Neng was a little puzzled, he didn't know this businessman, but he still nodded.

"Childe is a single name?"

Wu Neng's face was a little red, and he pushed away the Kawa officer who was still screaming in pain rather uncomfortably, and then nodded.

"Sure enough, it's Wu Gongzi, when his surname is Xu and his name is Feng, he is the liaison deacon of the North Rainforest Branch of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, and Mu Shoude is a colleague under him, you should remember him."

"It turns out that you are from the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce."

"That's right, that's right, the last time Childe came to Kawa City, he talked to Brother Mu about the pill business, and the superior branch didn't dare to slack off at all after hearing your news from Childe. No, as soon as the turmoil in Kawa has calmed down, I will come to this village to find you, if the son ...... Belch...... And if it is convenient for the two gentlemen behind you, can you please ask a few of you to move to Kawa City tomorrow, Song Wengong and Brother Mu, the treasurer of the Kawa City branch, are waiting for the arrival of a few of them. ”

Xu Fengshi's attitude was very respectful, which surprised the officer Batu behind him, and he quickly adjusted the expression on his face at the right time, and at the same time glanced at his subordinates, signaling them to quickly step aside.

Wu Neng was also a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he knew that Shi Cheng's excellent quality elixir must have left a very deep impression on Mu Shoude, he turned his head to look at Shi Cheng and Tie Mian, and asked the two of them for their opinions with his eyes.

Shi Cheng thought for a moment and agreed to Xu Fengshi's proposal.

Jika, who was left to dry, seemed to be in an ice cellar, his brown face seemed to be a little pale, his right hand was raised and lowered, and finally he lowered his head in amusement and said no more.

Inadvertently, Wu Neng's gaze seemed to be cast on Jika's side intentionally or unintentionally, with a thick contempt and disdain in his eyes.

Jika pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, raised a hand, and forced a smile to Wu Neng, who had turned back, haha.
