Xu Zhiqiong and Liang Yuyao looked at Old Wutou and the villagers around him.
These villagers seemed to realize that these two men were not ordinary people, and they carefully picked up their weapons.
Their weapons include hoes, hammers, sickles, and fire sticks.
The weapon used by Old Wu Tou is a hammer used for nailing horseshoes.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the crowd and said, "If I want to fight, you won't survive."
Make a reasonable argument.
"The fact that you are alive proves that I don't want to fight."
Reasonable inference.
"If you want to live, don't fight me."
Unreasonable inference.
A group of villagers didn't know what methods Xu Zhiqiong used. They just felt that the moment Xu Zhiqiong opened his mouth, they lost the desire to fight with him.
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "I am the head of Heshun Village. My name is Du Guangxing. This little brother, you don't look like someone from the government."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "You are wrong, we are from the government."
"Since we are from the government, it goes without saying that we will fight with real swords and guns."
The words were forceful, but Du Guangxing's hand holding the hoe was trembling slightly.
Liang Yuyao walked up to Du Guangxing and asked: "Since you are the head of the village, you are also an official. Why do you want to fight against the government?"
Du Guangxing looked at Liang Yuyao and said, "Where are you officials from?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "An official from the capital."
A glimmer of hope seemed to flash in Du Guangxing's eyes.
Old Wu Tou said from the side: "Aren't all officials everywhere the same? Do they still care about our life and death?"
The hope in Li Chang's eyes disappeared, he turned around and shouted to the young man: "Give birth to a child, call someone!"
Not long after, many villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, each holding a gun and trying to fight for it.
Some of them had some cultivation. They stood at the end of the team, and the clouds and mist on their bodies overlapped, making it impossible to tell the level of their cultivation.
Liang Yuyao looked at the chief and asked again: "Just say a word, why are you going against the government!"
The chief shook his head and said, "What's the use of telling you?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Some people were arrested at the gate on the official road. Are they from your village? As long as you tell the truth, I will go and rescue them."
Li Chang was shocked: "Seriously?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "A gentleman's word and a whip of a horse, as long as you are willing to tell the truth."
Liang Yuyao pulled Xu Zhiqiong and whispered: "If they are really involved with the Blood Evil Sect, they cannot be let go."
The chief shouted: "Little girl, what do you mean?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Chief, do you know about the Bloody Sect? Do you know about the animals that are harvested and cut? You should know about Ren Yazi, right? Kochi County is here to arrest Ren Yazi, why are you obstructing them?"
Old Wutou shouted: "That guy named Gao said he was here to arrest Yazi?"
The chief shouted: "What the hell, he's here to arrest Nan Shen's disciples!"
Nanshen is the folk name for the true god Suzaku.
What Gao Renxiao arrested was not the blood evil cultivator, nor the human teeth collector, but the Suzaku cultivator.
The leader said: "During the autumn harvest last year, a group of Confucian scholars came to the village to cause trouble and kidnapped many disciples of Nanshen. This year's harvest was reduced by 40%.
Kochi County said that official rations cannot be reduced, but the land tax has been increased by 20%. Our village has not been hungry for many years. This year is not even the Chinese New Year, and every family’s rice vat has bottomed out.
Later, the imperial court said that the disciples of Nanshen were good people, but these Confucian scholars were still running wild here. The men in our village gritted their teeth and beat them all away with hoes and sticks.
Now that spring is about to begin, several villages around us are counting on these Nanshen disciples to help with spring plowing. Kochi County issued an order and came to arrest people again. How can we not survive? With a family of young and old,
Life, is it so idle to chat with you?
Nanshen disciples are good people, and two of them are married in our village. If anyone touches them today, we will risk our lives for whoever touches them!"
Why did Kochi County want to arrest the Suzaku cultivators?
Liang Yuyao couldn't figure out the reason.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Who are the people who were tied up and paraded on official roads?"
The headmaster said: "On the Lantern Festival, all the disciples of Nanshen went to worship the gods. Kochi County sent officials over and arrested all the children.
We really didn’t know about it at first. If we had known about it, we definitely couldn’t watch them being arrested. Later, they came to arrest people again and arrested many people from various villages. Only then did we come to our senses and we couldn’t do it anymore.
, we have to fight to the end!”
Xu Zhiqiong said to Du Guangxing: "Chief, do you dare to confront me in front of Kochi County about what you said?"
"Dare!" shouted the commander, "I dare to fight this battle with him. What's there to be afraid of in a confrontation?"
"Okay!" Xu Zhiqiong said, "Everyone, please wait here for a moment. We'll be back soon."
Xu Zhiqiong took Liang Yuyao back to the official road. This time he did not use the magic circle and walked straight towards the yamen's trap.
The government officials were in a panic, and someone shouted: "Someone is coming out of the village!"
"Look carefully to see if it's someone with some cultivation level!"
"Put the knife on your neck. If Suzaku's hands are slow, they won't dare to move the knife."
"This woman seems to be dying."
"Hold on first and put the knife on the holder."
"This is the little one!"
"Pick it up and put the knife rest on it."
"Why does this person look familiar?"
"Isn't this the fool who wanted to pass by just now?"
"He said he was a foreigner!"
"Then don't draw the knife yet!"
"Silly, you don't want to think about how he got into the village. He is not a good person. He is in the same group as those unruly people!"
The leading officer stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you?"
Xu Zhiqiong suddenly came behind him, put his dagger across the officer's neck, and asked: "Who are these people?"
The officer was very fierce, holding a knife to his neck and full of courage: "How dare you touch me! Do you know what I do, grandpa?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "When I ask you a question, answer it quickly to avoid any physical pain!"
The officer sneered: "You are the swordsman hired by those unscrupulous people, right? Grandpa tells you that you must not do this business and stay away from them. I also tell you, you must not do anything.
Me, otherwise your grandpa and I..."
Xu Zhiqiong made an incision on the left side of his face. It was not long, just over an inch.
But the hole was quite deep, causing air leakage from his left cheek.
The Yamen screamed out, tears streaming down his face: "You, how dare you, just wait and see if our master doesn't skin you!"
Xu Zhiqiong poked another hole in the Yamen's right cheek. The Yamen whined for a long time, and finally said something serious this time: "They are all the children of the suspect, and there are members of the Bloody Sect in their families."
"Are they from the Blood Evil Sect or from the Suzaku Way?"
The Yamen said: "We, Mr. Gao, have said that they are all the same. Those who practice Suzaku are from the Blood Evil Sect. This is an order from the imperial court!"
What a wonderful Kochi Prefecture!
This old immortal thing actually did such a ridiculous thing.
Thanks to the fact that Daxuan was a bloody dynasty and the Xuan people had strong bones, these villagers dared to confront the government.
If it were another dynasty, these Suzaku cultivators would definitely have been killed unjustly.
The agricultural production of Daxuan is extremely dependent on the Suzaku cultivators. If these Suzaku cultivators died, many people in this county would starve to death.
Xu Zhiqiong threw the leader of the government officials to the ground, turned around and said to the other government officials: "Let me go all these people, and I will spare your lives."
A government official shouted: "Who are you kidding? Do you think we are three-year-old children? If we let them go, can you spare us?"
Another government official said: "We don't know where you are from. You should leave now, as far away as possible. If you don't leave, we will kill all these people on the spot!"
The yamen officer looked ferocious and rubbed the blade of a child on the neck.
The nature of their profession is such that when it comes to dealing with Suzaku cultivators, they don't have the courage, and ninth-level skills can easily burn them to death.
But when it comes to dealing with these defenseless women and children, they are absolutely unambiguous.
Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong and Liang Yuyao were not moving, the government servant grabbed the children's hair and shouted: "You can't even understand, right? I'll let you understand today!"
He was about to cut off the child's ear first, but with a click, the officer's knife fell to the ground, and his wrist bone was broken.
Liang Yuyao looked at the Yamen servant and said, "Do you understand this time?"
While the government officials were still in a daze, Liang Yuyao used the skill of coiling a python to break the wrist bones of a group of government officials.
In an instant, there were constant screams in the official circles. These government officials often abused others, but they had never been severely beaten. This time, their wrists were broken, and they all cried. Some even peed.
Liang Yuyao shouted: "Whoever makes one more sound will have his neck broken."
The government officials immediately held back their words and remained silent.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "You can keep an eye on these government officials here first. I will go back to the county government office and invite Kochi County over."
Liang Yuyao shook her head and said, "That's upside down. I'll go to the county government office and you watch them here."
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "But why?"
Liang Yuyao said: "If you go, the old ghost will definitely be suspicious. If I go, I can deceive him in a good way, and then I will deal with it."
…
Liang Yuyao returned to the county government office and ordered people to wake up the county magistrate Gao Renxiao.
The old county magistrate, who was in his sixties, came to the court with sleepy eyes. Unexpectedly, he saw Liang Yuyao, Liang Xianchun, Lin Tianzheng and Zuo Chuxian.
All the big shots in the evil-suppressing army came. Liang Yuyao looked humble and told Kozhi County Road: "Tonight I and Xu Xiaowei went to Heshun Village to take a look. We wanted to give some good advice, but the mob couldn't get in.
Now I specially ask Kochi County to come out and persuade them together. If we can persuade this group of mobs, it will be considered as a war."
Gao Renxiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this group of mobs are stubborn and stubborn, and they cannot be persuaded."
Liang Yuyao said: "If you can't be persuaded, we'll fight. I'll take Hongyi Pavilion with me. Tonight, we must capture the villains of the Bloody Sect and follow this line to eradicate the Bloody Sect's lair."
After saying these words, Liang Xianchun couldn't hold himself back: "Yu Yao is right, let's set off immediately!"
Lin Tianzheng was a little worried: "If we can stop the fighting, we should give him good advice."
Liang Xianchun gritted his teeth and said: "If you have any advice, the mob should kill him!"
Zuo Chuxian didn't want to take action against civilians, so he found an excuse: "My sergeants still need to rest."
Liang Yuyao smiled and said: "I don't have to worry about other camps. I am enough in Hongyi Pavilion. What do you say to the prefect?"
The magistrate of Raozhou Xiang Sishan said: "Since Her Royal Highness wants to get rid of the thieves, I will do my best to help you."
"Help?" Liang Yuyao chuckled, "Who is helping whom? The matter in Raozhou is your responsibility. When Kochi County arrested the villains and fought against the mob, why didn't you help?"
Xiang Sishan laughed dryly and said: "The sergeants and police officers in the state are all searching for the villains, and they really can't spare any time."
"It's hard for me to go to the magistrate." Liang Yuyao smiled slightly.
She doesn't understand about war.
In this officialdom, Liang Yuyao is the master among masters.
Xiang Sishan still wants to protect himself at this stage.
Easy to say!
I’ll let you and the old magistrate fight each other face to face later, and we’ll see which one of you looks more ugly!
Everyone took Hongyi Pavilion and went to Heshun Village together. Walking on the official road, they found that the road card was destroyed and there were blood stains on the ground.
Kochi County exclaimed: "No, the mob is causing chaos. Captain Xu is afraid that something will happen. Once he meets the mob, he must not hesitate at all. He must wipe them out, otherwise our county will never have peace."
"
As he spoke, the old magistrate was shaking with anger.
Liang Yuyao patted Laozhi County on the back and said, "Kochi County, don't worry, aren't those mobs coming?"
A torch flickered in the distance, and Gao Renxiao exclaimed: "Generals, prepare for war quickly."
Liang Xianchun was also very nervous and quickly ordered preparations for war.
But the messenger in red was indifferent.
This is the characteristic of the secret service. They only listen to Liang Yuyao's orders.
Liang Xianchun shouted: "Yu Yao, you are still waiting, hurry up and prepare for war!"
Liang Yuyao continued to pat Gaozhi County on the back, "Auntie, don't be impatient and wait for some advice from Gaozhi County."
Gao Renxiao said: "I have nothing to say to them!"
While he was talking, Xu Zhiqiong and a group of villagers had already arrived.
The two sides were less than a hundred feet apart, and Liang Xianchun shouted: "Xu Zhiqiong, why do you associate with the mob?"
Gao Renxiao heard this and shouted loudly: "Xu Xiaowei was kidnapped by the mob. I have no sworn relationship with such thugs. Please follow me and fight to the death with the mob..."
Before she finished speaking, Liang Yuyao suddenly put more strength on her hands and pushed Gao Renxiao out.
Kochi Prefecture stumbled and almost fell down. When he struggled to regain his footing, he found himself among the villagers.
The villagers stared angrily.
Gao Renxiao said tremblingly: "You, what do you think the thugs want..."
Liang Yuyao's eyes trembled and she shouted: "Kneel down and speak!"
With a click, Gao Renxiao's kneecaps shattered and he knelt in front of a group of villagers.
