Chapter 42: Blood for Blood
Although I heard that the Holy Capital is a very peaceful place, people can live and work in peace and contentment, and Ling Ye is going to the Holy Capital, but this is just heard after all, and the person who said these things is still the rather eccentric old man Tian Duxing, Ling Ye is not good at this time to persuade Niu Dali to go to the Holy Capital, so he only said lightly: "Be careful, naturally it's fine." ”
Niu Dali smiled bitterly again and said, "We don't know how to be careful! Originally, life was quite passable, but since it was said that the Flying Fox Clan from the north was going to invade the south, our life began to be difficult. Until now, the big war hasn't even been fought, and we're already so difficult, and when the big war really starts, we don't know what will become of it!"
Ling Ye was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know what else to say to you except be careful." ”
Some of these strong men obviously had a very good relationship with Niu Dali, and when they saw Niu Dali turn around, more than a dozen men also turned around, walked up to Niu Dali, and said, "Indeed, we don't know what will happen in the future!"
Boss Hu on the side said viciously: "Boy, I don't know what to do, do you? Then let Lao Tzu go obediently, and Lao Tzu will give you some guidance! Hey! Resist the government, do you know how much of a crime this is!"
Ling Ye didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he slapped him to the ground with another slap, and said vigorously to the cow: "Take advantage of their inability to catch up, you guys run quickly!"
Niu Dali looked at Boss Hu, and then at the few men who were hacked to death by them, with a look of resentment on his face. He gritted his teeth, bent down to pick up Boss Hu's knife, and was about to cut it down at Boss Hu.
Ling Ye's eyes were quick, he grabbed his hand and stopped him, and asked, "What do you want to do? Do you know that if this knife goes down, there will be no peace in the future, and you will rest except death!"
Niu vigorously gritted his teeth and said: "Among these people they hacked to death, they are basically all people I know, they are just simple ordinary people, they just want to live in peace, but now they are dying tragically in the hands of the government." The government doesn't plan to let us live anymore, so I will fulfill their wish and stop living a good life, and let them never have a good life from now on!"
Midnight was silent. If this knife goes down, Niu Dali will be a thief who can never turn back. Rebellion is not a dinner party, it is to kill the head, and he cannot incite others to rebel.
That's fooling people to send them to death!
Niu struggled vigorously and said, "Brother, let me go! I will hack this dog officer to death to avenge the brothers who were hacked to death by him!"
Ling Ye was silent for a while, slowly let go of his hand, and said lightly: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more." Do it for yourself!"
Niu nodded vigorously, raised his knife again, and slashed down fiercely. Boss Hu didn't snort and died on the spot.
The more than a dozen men shouted one after another: "Brother Niu killed us well! This dog official has killed many of us, so he should be allowed to pay for his blood with blood!"
When the other officials saw this scene, they all became agitated, and they all bent down to pick up knives. Que Wan'er shouted: "Stop! Whoever picks up the knife will die!"
Most of the fast catchers hesitated and slowly straightened their waists. One of the catchers had already picked up the knife, and while turning over on his horse, he shouted, "Get on the horse! If you don't get on the horse, you're a ......."
Before the word "death" could be spoken, it turned into a scream. Que Wan'er was a little far away from him, and she didn't expect to be able to catch up, so she leaned over and picked up a knife that caught fast, threw it over. The knife was sharp, passing directly through the fast-catching vest and peeking through the front. The catcher quickly turned over and fell off the horse, twisted his body a few times, and stopped moving.
All the fast catchers were shocked and didn't dare to move for a while. Que Wan'er shouted: "You didn't blink when you killed, did you? Tell you, when I kill you, I won't blink either!"
Niu Dali stood up, and saw that almost all the strong men had run away, leaving only more than ten men, so he raised the knife in his hand and shouted at those fast catchers: "Leave the people who killed just now to pay for their lives, and the others leave the horses and weapons, you can get out!"
The few hunters who had killed people just now suddenly turned their faces like dirt, and their bodies trembled. Those who did not kill were pardoned, and they ran away with their heads in their arms, and did not dare to ask for horses and weapons.
Niu Dali shouted loudly again: "Slow down! Listen well, borrow your mouth, and report the matter to your dog official, it is Lao Tzu who kills people, if you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, your surname is Niu Dali! Don't find the wrong person, let alone wronged others!"
Where did the fast arresting officials dare to say that half of them were not, and they agreed repeatedly. Niu vigorously said: "Okay, get out!"
When the officials ran away, Niu Dali threw the knife on the ground, clasped his fists and saluted Ling Ye and Que Wan'er, and said: "Thank you two brothers for helping!
He had been watching from the sidelines before midnight and did not stop him. Now hearing Niu Dali's words, he sighed and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then take care!
Niu vigorously patted his chest and said loudly: "I will definitely take good care! I will still keep this life, and when you pass by again, please drink wine and eat meat!"
Ling Ye nodded, hugged his fist, and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Que Wan'er naturally left with him. Niu vigorously watched them go away, and then beckoned the more than ten men to deal with the rest of the matter.
Xiao Yao had been waiting where she was, guarding the luggage and horses. When she saw the two of them returning, she was quick to ask, "How are those people?"
Ling Ye snorted and said, "I can't persuade them to rebel, and I can't join them in rebellion. There is no other way for us to do it than to go. ”
Xiao Yao looked at Niu Dali in the distance, and her face showed a trace of unbearability: "Just a dozen people, maybe they will ...... in a few days."
Ling Ye shook his head, turned over on his horse, and said, "I can't care so much. Let's go!"
The trio rode around this section of the road and found another path to the south.
Along the way, the three of them passed by some other places, and also encountered several official messengers to escort the strong men to hurry, and even the catchers drove the farmer's cattle and livestock, etc., laughing and walking towards the city, and some peasant women and even old ladies rushed up to beg bitterly, but they were arrested and kicked to the ground.
Don't think about it, it must be because you can't catch a strong man, so you catch the farmer's cattle and livestock to go back to offset it. As for whether it was slaughtered for meat or sold at an estimated price, it is unknown.
All three looked indignant. Anyway, there will be no shortage of such things, no matter what, those strong men are still there, and the pleading appearance of those peasant women and even old ladies is really sympathetic. It's just that once you make a move, it's not difficult to kill those arresters, but the hard thing is that after they leave, those peasant women and old ladies will inevitably be arrested by the government and tortured or even killed, and in the end, they will still kill people.
Xiao Yao couldn't help it at first, and said to Ling Ye: "Ling Gongzi, should we make a move? These people are really hateful!"
