At this time, the mature and prudent Bai Muramasa realized what he was doing. His face turned blue, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or angry, and he scolded him sternly.
The family members of the deceased were so frightened by this scene that they turned pale and quickly shut up.
"The surname is Huang!"
Lao Qutou looked gloomy, choked and pulled out the knife, pointed at Butler Huang and shouted: "You dare to hurt someone in front of me, are you going to rebel?!"
"If Lord Qu says anything, how dare you, a villain?"
Manager Huang ignored Bai Cunzheng and looked up at Lao Qutou. He stood up with a smile, threw the severed arm away and said:
"You saw it just now. It's clear that this guy wants to attack me. I've never been very courageous, so I chose to strike first. You can't blame me for this."
Then he smiled and said to the man on the ground:
"Little brother, just now you insulted me as Mr. Huang's dog. I will cut off one of your arms. Now we are even on this matter. What do you think?"
The man was shocked and angry as he covered the wound, but when he saw the cruel look behind Butler Huang's smiling face, his heart suddenly went cold. He knew that if he continued to refuse to give in, the consequences would only be more serious.
He could only grit his teeth and say in frustration: "Okay!"
"Master Qu, as you can see, this little brother himself is not prepared to pursue this matter." Butler Huang turned his head, spread his hands, and said with a smile.
"snort!"
Lao Qutou snorted coldly and said nothing more. Even the victim himself stopped pursuing the case. It was hard for him to say anything. If he continued to pursue the case, he would harm the man.
As a public police officer, he is very aware of the power of landlords like Huang Guanjia. Ordinary people offend them and die without knowing how.
Although he is covered with an official coat, it does not mean that he can afford to offend these big local businessmen.
Seeing this, Butler Huang smiled slightly, stood up, took the handkerchief handed to him, wiped the blood on his hand, looked at Bai Muramasa, and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, should we talk about business now?"
Bai Muramasa's face was gloomy, and the veins in his old hands holding the crutches were bulging, which showed the depth of exertion and the excitement of his emotions. However, the situation was stronger than the others, so he could only sigh softly:
"Yes, it's time to talk!"
Butler Huang said with a smile:
"Logically speaking, if your people died, it was their own fault. It has nothing to do with our Huang family. However, Mr. Huang is kind-hearted and hates the suffering of the poor. Considering that they have no merit but hard work, when they come,
My master also specifically told me to make arrangements for them."
As he spoke, he glanced at the subordinate next to him. The servant immediately took out a money bag obediently and handed it to Bai Muruzheng. Butler Huang said:
"This is ten taels of silver. Each person who died will receive one tael of silver. The remaining two taels will be considered as wages for the past few days. As for how to divide it, you can decide for yourself."
Bai Muramasa's expression did not improve, and he called out to the other party: "Wait a minute, Butler Huang, is the money missing?"
Ten taels of silver is not a small amount for ordinary people, but if it is divided into eight parts and exchanged for eight lives, it will be different.
"Young Master?" Butler Huang continued to spin the iron ball in his hand and sneered:
"Lao Bai, my master is kind-hearted, but don't take him for granted, that's all! Love him or not!"
After that, he took his two men and turned around and left.
When they walked away, the family members of the deceased suddenly began to cry, and some complained loudly that the Huang family was too ruthless and inhumane.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. People can't be resurrected. You have to go back and cry! There's also the Sixth family. Why didn't you dare to say it when Huang was here just now? You're so talkative now!"
Bai Cunzheng had a gloomy look on his face, knocked on his crutch, and made arrangements: "A few people will come, find two donkey carts, and take the body to their respective homes first! The funeral will be held later!"
After arranging all this, Masaaki Baimura solemnly saluted Lao Qutou:
"I'd like to thank Mr. Qu for speaking up for what happened just now. Mr. Qu and Brother Li don't want to leave today at noon. The village has prepared rice wine, home-raised chickens, and game from the mountains. It's not a good thing either.
Let’s all try it out.”
"You're welcome, Mr. Bai, I didn't contribute much."
But Lao Qutou shook his head and did not take any credit.
Guo Xiaoliu squeezed the handle of the knife tightly with his fingers and was speechless for a long time. His fingers were a little pale due to the excessive exertion.
Looking at the blood stains on the ground and the severed arm, his expression was not very good, and he was obviously frightened by the scene just now.
Li Yu saw everything that had just happened. While he sympathized with the pitiful plight of these villagers, he was also a little surprised by the skills of Butler Huang.
This guy practices the Eagle Claw Kung Fu, and it is already quite powerful. Although due to some reasons, the training is a little off, improper maintenance, and a pair of fleshy palms are a little deformed and twisted. But once it is used, it is very powerful to dig out the heart and lungs.
Just talking about this skill, Li Yu really doesn't have much confidence in winning if he were to fight with bare hands.
Of course, if he had a knife in his hand, his killing power would be increased tenfold, so Butler Huang might not be his opponent.
Besides, the Huang family is also a well-known large family in Baisha Town. It has nearly a hundred people, 700 acres of farmland, and forty or fifty cooks and servants. Together with the vinegar shop and wine shop, it can be said that it is a really big family!
As far as Li Yu knows, half of the farmland in Baisha Town and the adjacent Qingshui Town all have the surname "Huang".
It is said that Butler Huang is also Huang Yuanwai's nephew, and he is highly regarded by Huang Yuanwai because of his family ties.
Precisely because the Huang family is very powerful and prosperous, Baisha Town is often jokingly called the "Huang" family town secretly.
Faced with such local tyrants, ordinary people cannot afford to offend them.
Because he helped collect the body, Li Yu also had a meal in Baishi Village at noon, including rice wine, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and the mellow-tasting braised wild boar hind legs. The plum fish had a mouth full of oil, and he was satisfied.
.
In the end, he refused Bai Cunzheng's offer to send him off, and said goodbye to Lao Qutou and his master and apprentice. Li Yu carried the parcel on his back, smelling of alcohol, and swayed towards Yizhuang.
As they walked on the road, Li Yu's slightly confused eyes immediately regained their clarity.
He drank a lot just now, but he has a good drinking capacity. He seems to be 70 to 80% drunk, but in fact it is just a disguise. He is only slightly dizzy now, but he is sober.
Seeing no one around, he casually put the package into the mustard space on his right hand.
This mustard stone is indeed a treasure. With this stone, he will be able to carry many things with him in the future without much burden. He will only lose some energy every time he uses it, which is very convenient.
