Chapter 544
Li Qiufeng thought that Guan Yu's head had been snatched back by himself, although Situ Qiao was not a good person, but this person was not a great traitor, and he had been defeated by himself many times, as long as he was careful, he was not afraid of him making trouble. What's more, those two people have been scared away by themselves, but these two people are haunted and act strangely. Look at Situ Qiao's appearance, he is inseparable from these two people. It's just that his martial arts are inferior to those two, and he still has to rely on himself to defend against the enemy, so he doesn't dare to attack himself at this time. Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Mr. Situ, these two people are extremely strange in their behavior, and their martial arts are not weak, if you want to make trouble, I am afraid that you will only suffer in the end." ”
Situ Qiao naturally knew that Li Qiufeng was warning himself, so he had to nod. At this time, the moon stars were scarce, and Li Qiufeng's face could be vaguely seen to be a little pale. Situ Qiao knew that Li Qiufeng was injured, and was about to ask him how his injuries were, when he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps from the south side. The two of them were a little stunned, and they all turned their heads to look. It's just that the night is vast, and as far as the eye can see, it is only a few feet in front of the tavern, and then to the south, it is pitch black.
Li Qiufeng said in a low voice: "There are really a lot of people who listen to the footsteps, and the organs laid by the two of them are still here, and Mr. Situ has destroyed all these mechanisms, so as not to leave future troubles." I'll go over and see who's there. ”
After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he ran towards the tavern with a steel knife. When he arrived at the door of the tavern, he saw a figure shaking, but it was Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi who jumped out of the tavern. The two of them saw that Li Qiu was in a hurry, but they were also a little suspicious in their hearts. Yu Fan said: "Li Daxia, what happened?"
Li Qiufeng knew that Yu Fan and Yu Chenghe's martial arts were not weak, so he heard footsteps in the tavern, so he went out of the tavern to inspect the situation. At this moment, Li Qiufeng didn't have time to elaborate, so he had to say: "The enemy is coming, and it is indeed the master of the fake Guan Yu that we have seen in front of the stage." Mr. Szeto and I have scared him away, but there seem to be quite a few people from the south side of town......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a faint commotion in the south of the town. Li Qiufeng was stunned, and the three of them looked south together. After a while, there were many figures, mixed with the shouts of men and women, and the cries of children. When the three of them were shocked, a large group of people appeared in front of the three of them.
I saw that these people were old and young, men and women, most of them were in shabby clothes and looked panicked. When they saw Li Qiufeng and the three of them, these people stopped and huddled together one by one. Some of the women held the child tightly in their arms, looking at them with fear and hatred.
Li Qiufeng didn't know that after Cai Jing and Du Tiexin led the people of Biyunwu to rush here, in order to ambush the thieves, they drove all the people in the town out of their homes and escorted them to a forest in the south of the town, and sent more than a dozen Zhuang Ding to guard them. These people are all timid and fearful, and when they saw that the Zhuang Ding of Biyunwu was all fierce and vicious, wielding a bright steel knife in his hand, he was already frightened. Although there were three or four hundred people in the town, they were so frightened by these dozen Zhuang Ding that they did not dare to resist at all.
It's just that after nightfall, I suddenly heard a commotion in the town, and then many Zhuang Ding from Biyunwu fled. Zhuang Ding, who was guarding the people, stepped forward and whispered a few words to Zhuang Ding, who had fled into the trees, and his face changed greatly, and he could no longer care about the detainees, so he dispersed in a hurry. The people did not know what was going on, and at first they sat honestly in the woods, but after the farmers fled, they never returned. The people whispered, and some dared to say that most of the officers and soldiers had arrived, and the robbers scattered in all directions. And all the people were overjoyed, and they took the old man and the children and walked into the town. At first, I was a little trembling, but after walking more than a hundred steps, I didn't see a single shadow of Zhuang Ding. Then the people believed that the robbers had fled, and they became emboldened, and hurried to their homes. By the time they reached the tavern, most of the people had returned to their homes, and only sixty or seventy people were left hurrying away. It's just that in front of the tavern, seeing Li Qiufeng and the three of them with strange faces and weapons in their hands, these people were startled, and immediately stopped and shrank into a ball.
Seeing the appearance of the people, Li Qiufeng knew that they were frightened, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, don't panic, we are all sent by the government......
Before he could finish speaking, the people immediately exclaimed, and then dozens of people surrounded him, gossiping about what happened today. It's just that there are so many people who get together and make noise, but they can't hear what they are talking about. Fortunately, Li Qiufeng and Yu Fan are both shrewd people, and after listening carefully, they guessed the situation without leaving ten.
At this time, Situ Qiao had destroyed all the bronze mirrors and other objects set up everywhere, and then walked back to the tavern. It's just that I saw a large group of people gathered in front of the tavern, and I didn't know what they were arguing about. He hid to the side and did not show his face.
The people were arguing around Li Qiufeng and the others, but someone saw a head poking out of the tavern and peeking into the street. When the people saw the man's dress, they recognized it as the Biyunwu Zhuangding, and immediately shouted, "The robber is hiding in the tavern!"
His shout frightened the people to stop. Li Qiufeng turned his head to look, but it was a Zhuang Ding from Biyunwu lying at the door, looking out from his own head. Li Qiufeng said to the people: "Folks, don't panic, with us here, no one will hurt you!"
When the people heard Li Qiufeng say this, their courage suddenly grew. The cook of the tavern was stubborn, and when he was driven away during the day, he glared at Zhuang Ding and received a few kicks on the buttocks, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. At this time, since there is the support of the government, I am much bolder. I saw him raise his right hand and shout loudly: "With the official in charge, what are we afraid of? Everyone rushed in and pulled out this gang of strongmen, beat them up first, and then sent the thieves to see the officials!"
For thousands of years, although the people were timid and fearful, once someone took the lead, these people would change their faces. Today, all the people suffered a lot of humiliation under Biyunwu Zhuang Ding, and they were all angry. It's just that no one took the lead, so I had to endure it. At this time, listening to the roar of the cook, the crowd was furious, and even the women who were hiding with the child in their arms also shouted and cursed at this time.
Li Qiufeng saw that the situation was not good, and was about to speak, when the cook greeted him, and dozens of people rushed towards the tavern. Although Li Qiufeng, Yu Fan, and Yu Chengsi had the intention to stop it, they saw that the people were angry, where could they stop it? In the blink of an eye, the people had rushed into the tavern. I could only hear a "crackling" sound in the tavern, and I thought that the tables, chairs and dishes were smashed a lot. The shopkeeper of the tavern was a lewd man in his forties, and the richest man in the town. At this time, the fat lady holding him was so frightened that her soul was scattered. It's just that when I heard the chaotic noise in the tavern, my heart hurt very much, but I didn't dare to stop it, so I had to chant "Save the suffering and save the Guanyin Bodhisattva" in my heart, hoping that the tables, chairs, dishes and plates could be smashed a few less.
After half a column of incense, only the voices of people could be heard, and then the people poured out of the tavern. But I saw a few people being pushed outside the tavern by the people, all of them in tattered clothes, with blue noses and swollen faces. Li Qiufeng, Yu Fan, and Yu Chengsi looked fixedly, but saw that the people who were caught by the people turned out to be Cai Jing, the young master of Biyunwu, and Du Tiexin, the big housekeeper, as well as two Zhuang Ding.
It turned out that after Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi left the tavern, Cai Jing and the others did not dare to go out. Du Tiexin had long planned to wait for an opportunity to escape, but when he was discussing with two Zhuang Ding, he heard a lot of people outside the door, and he hurriedly asked one Zhuang Ding to go to the door to find out the situation. The Zhuang Ding was so frightened that he didn't dare to walk out of the tavern door, but he just probed his brain at the door, but was discovered by the people. Then the cook greeted him, and dozens of people rushed into the tavern. The people of Biyunwu were startled, and before they could react, they were surrounded by the people in the middle, and countless fists rained down. Although the people of Biyunwu have martial arts, the tavern is extremely narrow, and they didn't expect the people to rush in and do it. By the time they reacted, they were already crowded in the middle of the crowd, and it was extremely difficult for them to even turn around. Cai Jing, Du Tiexin and the other two Zhuang Ding were also beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and ninety percent of their lives fell out of ten.
On weekdays, these people are all good people, not to mention killing, even ordinary scolding and fighting dare not be. But at this time, under the anger, someone took the lead, and vented all his anger. The more honest the people on weekdays, the more violent they are at this time. The four Zhuang Ding who were beaten to death died under the fists and feet of the people, and even the corpses were trampled to the point that they could not be seen. In the end, I don't know who shouted: "Drag these robbers to the avenue and hang them, light them with sky lanterns, and see if there are any robbers who dare to do evil in our town!"
At this time, all the people were already red-eyed, and when they heard this shout, they immediately applauded, and dragged Cai Jing, Du Tiexin and others, who had been beaten half to death, out of the tavern. Someone went to find a big wood and rope, and wanted to hang Cai Jing and others to be burned alive.
Li Qiufeng saw that all the people were hideous and crazy, and knew that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. At this time, the people were already furious to the extreme, and they even waved their fists at Li Qiufeng and cursed. The old men and women who had been hiding outside the tavern also rushed up, punching and kicking Cai Jing and others who were kneeling on the ground, and some children picked up sand, gravel and soil from the ground and threw them at Cai Jing and others.
At this time, the people who had already returned home also gathered when they heard the shouts, and when they heard that they had caught the robbers, they rushed forward and waved their fists at Cai Jing and the others.
Li Qiufeng wanted to stop it, but Yu Fan gently tugged Li Qiufeng's sleeve and said in a low voice: "The crowd is angry right now, and we can't stop it with a few of us......"
Li Qiufeng didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately said: "These people don't deserve death, we can't watch them being beaten to death, right?"
Yu Fan said: "Yu Mou has been in officialdom for a long time, and I have seen a lot of such scenes. When the people gather to make trouble, unless a large army gathers, we must not forcibly stop it, otherwise even we will be trapped inside. Anyway, these guys in Biyunwu are not good people, they bullied the people first, even if they are beaten to death, they deserve it, no wonder others!"
