Chapter 296: Rules
There is a field in Datang Township, which is used to dry grain when the farm is busy. Today, it has become a gathering place. The black pressure was overwhelming, and every household came, and nearly 100 people gathered here.
They were faced with three people.
Two to be exact. Because one of them is the villager Ah Guang. Ah Guang was obviously beaten, his hair was scattered, and his face was covered with blood. He was also tied up by ropes, kneeling on the ground, drooping his head, and looking weak.
Seeing this, the villagers couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, shouting in their mouths, solemnly declaring, loudly condemning, and asking the other party to release them.
However, so many people are just paying lip service, and no one dares to step forward.
Two bandits, one with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, extremely powerful, with a large axe stuck in his waist. The blade of the axe is shiny and breathtaking. He clasped his hands on his chest, his thick arms were powerful, and he faced hundreds of villagers with contempt, not caring.
There is also a nondescript dress, like a thief, and like an account office. The facial features are quite ugly, typical crooked melons and cracked dates, two mouse whiskers, a pair of small eyes, and the bones are turning, mainly aiming at the women in the crowd.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he aimed at a pretty girl, and he couldn't move away anymore.
"Silence!"
As the host, Shanbo shouted majestically, suppressing everyone's indignation and discussion. Then he coughed dryly and said loudly: "Two heroes, what are you doing when you come to my village today?"
As he spoke, he first secretly glanced into the crowd, but did not see Yan Huandan's figure, only saw Chen Tang coming over with Su Ling, and he was not disappointed. Then he glared fiercely at Ah Guang who was kneeling there, blaming him for leading the way, which exposed Datang Township.
The ugly thief smiled: "Fellow villagers, this one is the ancient three links of my Heifeng Village, born with divine power, can lift a thousand catties of boulders, it is a cow, and if you punch him, you will be killed." ”
"Wow!"
Everyone was in an uproar, and their faces were afraid. This three-in-command is already good-looking, like an iron tower, very scary. Now that he has such a ability, everyone is inexplicably afraid.
The ugly thief was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and stretched out his hand to pat his chest: "As for me, I am the master and bookkeeper of Heifeng Village, and Chen Jiuxi, who sits in the fifth position." ”
After a pause, he continued: "We are here to set rules with your village. From now on, with Heifeng Village as the center, a radius of hundreds of miles, all of which are under the control of our village. ”
"Why?"
The young man in the crowd, Agen, was dissatisfied.
"It's up to me!"
The three masters Gu Santong shouted, stretched out one hand, grabbed the kneeling Ah Guang like an eagle grabbing a chicken, and then raised it with one hand.
"Wow, help!"
Ah Guang was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and his hands and feet were waving, like a fish out of water, struggling in vain.
When everyone saw this, they all gasped. Ah Guang's body is not weak, weighing two hundred catties, but in the other party's hands, it is like a chicken.
When Ah Guang's mother-in-law saw it, she screamed in fright, rolled her eyes, and simply fainted.
Dongbo and Shanbo hurriedly said: "The heroes are merciful, and put people down, and have something to say." ”
"Humph!"
Gu Santong snorted coldly, his arm hung down, and with a pop, he threw Ah Guang to the ground.
Chen Jiuxi said with a smile: "Now, you can talk about the rules." ”
Several village elders in Datang Township glanced at each other, in fact, what they were most worried about was that the bandits of Heifeng Village came directly to attack the village, and the handover of troops was short, and it was inevitable that they would be damaged, and the loss would be great. If you can't resist it, the whole village can't be saved, and it will be destroyed.
Under the domination of this kind of thinking about gains and losses, now that they heard that there is no need to fight, they can talk, and several old people feel relieved.
Uncle Shan straightened his waist slightly, tried to show a solemn demeanor, and asked, "Master Chen, please give me instructions." ”
Chen Jiuxi said loudly: "First, every month, the people of your village must pay ten catties of grain and one catty of meat for each person according to the number of heads. ”
For a month, ten catties of grain and one catty of meat per person is not a small amount, but it is not to the point of being unacceptable.
Several village elders immediately exchanged heads and discussed. Later, as a representative, Shan Bo said: "Master Chen, can you reduce it?"
Chen Jiuxi glared: "This is a rule, and it is not a small market business, can you bargain? ”
Shanbo swallowed his anger and said, "Okay, this one, our village agreed." ”
"The second rule is that our village will send two people to the village to supervise and entangle. ”
Chen Jiuxi continued.
Shanbo shrugged: "This is not necessary, we will not run." ”
Chen Jiuxi said coldly: "Then who knows, if you drill into the mountains, who will have the kung fu to go into the mountains to catch you back?"
The two of them were stationed in the village, but in fact, there was nothing, and Shanbo and the others also agreed.
Chen Jiuxi seemed to have decided that they would not object, and said complacently: "Third, to send the collected rice, grain, and meat, you have to let the young girls in the village send it, and no one else can do it." ”
Samber asked, "Why is that?"
Chen Jiuxi said: "My Black Wind Village is a confidential place, if I am watched by Qingzhuang and run to report to the official, who is it?"
When Samber heard it, he felt that it made sense. The young woman has never seen the world, and she doesn't have much strength, and she is the most peaceful.
"Hehe, a good idea to fight in Black Wind Village. Do you still want to let the young girl go up the mountain and be a lady of the village or something?"
In the crowd, one person suddenly spoke and said in a loud voice.
Hearing this, the crowd suddenly became commotionous. Yes, the Black Wind Village is a den of thieves, and after the big girl of Huanghua enters, who knows what will happen?
Chen Jiuxi's face changed, and he shouted: "What do you mean by this? ”
As he spoke, he looked at several village elders with a fierce look: "Elders, who in your village has the final say? Don't waste Uncle Ben's time, from time to time there are personal objections, how can you talk about the rules?"
Shanbo and the others were afraid that he would turn his face, so they hurriedly shouted to Chen Tang, who spoke up: "You are not from the village, so you have to interject and make noise." ”
Hearing that Chen Tang was not from Datang Township, Chen Jiuxi couldn't help but look at it more, and saw that he was just a white-faced scholar, and he didn't care, so he said, "Okay, the rules will be set for the time being." In order to show sincerity, the first batch of rations will be ordered in the next few days. It was not easy for me to come to the three masters, so I stayed and was responsible for counting the population. And the woman in your village who will help deliver food should also be ordered as soon as possible. I think that girl is very suitable. ”
With a finger in his hand, he was pointing at Su Ling.
Chen Tang smiled: "I'm sorry, she's not from the village." ”
Chen Jiuxi's face sank: "A few elders, I see that your village has no intention of cooperating, and is unwilling to implement the rules. ”
He bit the word "rules" very hard.
"Master Chen, please stop your anger!"
Shan Bo hurriedly said, and then turned to Chen Tang: "Since you live here, you should contribute to the village." I promise you, as long as Miss Su helps deliver the first batch of food, you won't have to trouble her in the future. ”
Chen Tang suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Shanbo said with some annoyance.
Chen Tang sighed: "It turns out that in the world, there is no paradise, and the so-called beauty is just wishful thinking in the air." ”
Everyone was stunned and couldn't understand.
Chen Tang strode forward and said, "You keep talking about the rules, do you know what my rules are?"
