Chen Shou couldn't bear it anymore and crawled to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing the rotten leaves in the forest red.
His face was in pain, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
I was obviously very careful, but when I left the village, I saw these people eating in a tent. How could they come so fast?
Can a man run faster than an ox cart?
Chen Shou couldn't understand it, but the burning sensation coming from his internal organs made him feel the haze of death.
"Have mercy on me... Chief Xu, please spare me. I was just like this because I was obsessed for a while. I'm sorry for you... Chief Xu, please spare me. I won't dare to do it again..."
..."
Her eyes were still cold, without contempt or anger, as if she already knew that things would turn out like this.
Xu Yue looked at him condescendingly and sighed silently.
"You called me leader? How do you know that I must be the leader of the Xu family army they are looking for? If I am not, but you bring the officials into the village, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Chen Shou was obviously startled. He had never thought about it so much.
Xu Yue said again: "Do you know what kind of disaster will happen to the village because of your greed this time? Your daughter Kingfisher is a new disciple of the Huokang Gang. Now Beidi has ordered the arrest of the Huokang Gang disciples. Do you think your daughter can
Can you escape?"
"Also, have you forgotten how those officers and soldiers outside treated you?"
Xu Yue raised her feet and kicked his skinny arm, "I learned that you are a miner who escaped from the mine riot, do you think this bounty can still be yours?"
Every time Xu Yue said something, Chen Shou flinched. When he heard her last words, "Do you think the bounty can still be yours?", his whole body trembled. His mind that was overwhelmed by money calmed down in an instant, and his eyes were filled with tears.
It's fear and fear.
He really didn't expect this, and found that Xu Yue and others' time was so urgent that his mind was filled with the bounty, and he completely forgot that the people in the village knew the identity of their Xu Jiajun, but they pretended that they didn't know why.
Come to think of it, even if the bounty is tempting, the person who can get it is not a man with a family like him.
As for the people in the village, who doesn’t have a few family members to tie them down?
What's more, the boy who is the second king of their village is a well-known member of the Huokang Gang. Most of the men in the village have come to him before, begging to be taken out to work to make money, and they have all agreed.
If we really count, their entire village can be considered members of the Huokang Gang.
Thinking of this, Chen Shou took a breath of cold air!
Xu Yue took two steps back and looked at the dense forest behind her. Suddenly there were a few more clusters of fire, which were the villagers from the village brought by Wen Qing.
Kingfisher's family was among them, along with Wang's second grandson, the village chief and his two sons, and eight or nine other villagers.
What Xu Yue just said was not only to Kingfisher's father, but also a reminder to these people in the village.
She knew that these villagers were the same as her and had no trust in the officials under Gongsun Jun's management.
They forced innocent people to work as laborers, whipped and scolded them, and tortured them to the extreme. Under the pressure of the powerful superiors, they became bricks and mortar to maintain feudal rule. They served the superiors wholeheartedly. What they did was really difficult to forgive.
People can trust you.
"You idiot!" Kingfisher Girl rushed out, knelt in front of Chen Shou, cried and beat him,
"Are you crazy? Are you obsessed with ghosts? How could you do such a thing? If your benefactor hadn't saved you, how could you have survived? You are really confused!"
Kingfisher's sister and brother knelt down in front of Xu Yue. They were so ashamed of their father that they could not speak. They could only kowtow to Xu Yue and beg them to forgive his father.
Xu Yue didn't let the two of them knock down, and nodded to Wang Er, who then came forward and pulled them both up.
"You are right. First of all, Miss Xu has clear grudges. Your father's mistakes will not implicate you."
Wang Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He almost completely exposed the identity of the leader. Fortunately, he responded in time.
Wang Er had good intentions, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect. The siblings thought Xu Yue was going to punish their father, and as soon as they were pulled up, they knelt down and begged again.
Xu Dalang looked at them coldly and calmed down the siblings.
Kingfisher Girl was still scolding her husband for being stupid, but Chen Shou had now calmed down, got up from the ground, blocked his wife behind him, and said weakly:
"It's all my confusion, Miss Xu. Come at me if you want to kill or chop me into pieces. I know you are a reasonable person. Please don't implicate my family and the folks in the village..."
The village chief and the villagers were originally very angry, but after hearing what Kingfisher Dad said, they showed unbearable expressions.
If Chen Shou was really punished by Xu Yue, then it would be impossible for villagers like them to remain indifferent.
So the village chief stood up and opened his mouth to say something.
But before he opened his mouth, Xu Yue had already guessed what he wanted to say. It was nothing more than pleading for Kingfisher Daddy and using her identity as Xu Jiajun to warn her.
Xu Yue didn't want to hear this, raised her hand to signal the village chief not to say anything, glanced at Wang Er and Kingfisher, and asked:
"What are your plans next?"
Wang Er looked at the fearful expressions of the surrounding villagers and bowed deeply to his grandfather.
The old man knew that his grandson could no longer stay, so he turned his back and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then he turned back with a serious face and patted his grandson on the shoulder reluctantly.
"You can leave and don't worry about us. Once you leave, everyone will feel relieved."
Seeing the guilty expressions on the faces of the village chief and others, Xu Yue reasonably suspected that the old man had deliberately said these words to the villagers to condemn them for their lack of conscience.
You must know that last winter, it was his grandson who took the villagers out to find work, so that everyone could survive the heavy corvee and tax this spring.
It was impossible for Wang Er not to say that he was not heartbroken, but he could also understand the worries and fears of the villagers. He kowtowed to his grandfather, got up and walked towards Xu Yue.
He wants to leave the village, but he will not leave Yixian County. The intelligence network finally established here still needs a liaison officer who is familiar with it.
Moreover, he believes that it won’t be long before he can return to the village openly and honestly!
Xu Yue was not surprised by Wang Er's choice. When the wanted order was issued, they had discussed the next response plan together.
Then, everyone's attention fell on the kingfisher again.
I don’t know if this young girl regrets her choice to join the Huokang Gang. Xu Yue sighed softly in her heart.
No matter whether Kingfisher leaves or stays, she respects her choice.
She was only afraid that because of her status as a disciple of the Kingfisher Huokang Gang, the villagers would make some choices that would be unbearable for this little girl.
Therefore, in Xu Yue's mind, it would be best for her if Kingfisher chooses to go with Wang Er.
In this way, people in the village will not be trapped in a dilemma, and the villagers will be able to find real peace.
