A knife in love

Chapter 1817

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, Li Qiufeng and others thought that what they said about poisonous snakes and beasts killing people was actually a lie.In all likelihood, the bearer was intercepted and killed by the man in black on the way, and then he used corpse powder to dissolve the body, making him disappear from the world.This person is just a bearer of the Sheriff's Mansion, and he lives in a remote Hanshan fishing village. After his disappearance, the Sheriff's Mansion didn't bother to pay attention.The villagers hated Wutian's family to the bone, and seeing that this person never came back, it was just what they wished for. Why would they go to the mountains to look for it?

I only heard Liu Sheng Zongyan continue to say: "The man has lived in the village since then. He built a wooden house at the north end of the village. The house is exquisite and elegant. There are more than a dozen big trees planted in the yard. The trimmed shape was exquisite, and many flowers and plants were planted. When he had nothing to do, he picked up many round stones from the beach and paved a few paths between the flowers and plants. The wooden house, yard, flowers, plants and trees are integrated into one. It can be said to be extremely exquisite. The old man has been to Edo, the most magnificent city in Fusang, and also to Beijing, the capital of Ming Dynasty, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, the famous cities in the south of the Yangtze River, but he rarely sees a wooden house that can be built like that man So elegant and yet airy.

"The villagers in Hanshan Fishing Village have never seen such a regular and exquisite wooden house and yard. They all say that it is a thousand times more beautiful than the house of Master Wutian's house, so everyone is extremely envious. When the man is free, the church He taught the villagers how to build wooden houses, and persuaded the villagers to keep their houses and yards very clean. In less than half a year, the entire Hanshan fishing village changed its appearance, and it was no longer dilapidated and dilapidated, full of mud and smelly water. The man was proficient in medicine, and the sick villagers asked him for treatment, almost all of them were cured. After a while, villages and towns tens of miles away also knew that there was a famous doctor in Hanshan Fishing Village, and they came to seek medical treatment one after another. People who treat poor people don't charge a penny, and they also give soup and medicine. If rich people such as officials and landlords come to the door, they will not get a penny.

"When the man got money, he didn't hide the money and use it for himself, but distributed it to the villagers. They asked them to build boats, build houses, and repair roads. Within a year, the people in Hanshan fishing village not only built new houses, but also built new houses in the village. The roads in the village also extend in all directions and are extremely regular. The villagers also built more than 20 boats for fishing at sea, and every household had savings and stored food. On the dark day of that year, more than 100 households in the village, seven or eight The whole family went outside the wooden house where the man lived, lit a big fire, and knelt down to him as a welcome guest."

When Liu Shengzongyan said this, a smile appeared on his face, his eyes passed over Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu and others, and he seemed to see the raging fire back then.After a while, he went on to say: "There is a saying among you Han people in the Central Plains that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Hanshan fishing village has become rich, and a group of bandits scouted the news. These bandits were originally subordinates of a famous name in the East China Sea. Later, that daimyo offended the general. The general mobilized thousands of troops to besiege the daimyo and finally wiped out his family. The daimyo’s family soldiers escaped and gathered in the mountains to become bandits. Huo bandits were from officers and soldiers, different from ordinary bandits, they fought in an orderly manner, not only wiped out all the bandits in the surrounding area, even the officers and soldiers ordered by the court to attack were no match for them. The bandits heard that the people in the Hanshan fishing village were rich, so they immediately sent spies to the Hanshan fishing village to inquire about the news.

"These spies pretended to be traveling merchants, pretending to be buying pine trees, and entered the Hanshan fishing village. These people were very well-behaved and well-spoken. The villagers did not suspect that they had any conspiracy. Several spies wandered around the Hanshan fishing village for a few days. , inquired about the situation in the village clearly, and left contentedly."

As soon as Liu Shengzongyan finished speaking, Wang Xiaoyu suddenly said loudly: "Didn't you say that the man in black who saved you has great powers? Why did the bandit's spies walk around the village swaggeringly for a few days, but he didn't notice these things?" People are spies, isn't it too ridiculous? Even if outsiders come to our Wangjiazhuang and hang around in the village for a few days, they will arouse people's suspicion. If you admire that person so much, you may have misjudged the person."

Liu Shengzongyan was not angry when he heard Wang Xiaoyu's sarcasm.He nodded his head and said in his mouth: "Little girl, what you said is not bad. If the man was still in the village at that time, these spies would never be able to leave the village. It's just that he happened to go to the mountains to collect herbs , was not in the village, so those spies succeeded. After the spies left, the man came back from the mountain. The villagers didn't know that those people were spies for the bandits, so they didn't become suspicious, so they didn't tell the matter to the spies. people know.

"A few days later, in the middle of the night, bandits suddenly surrounded the village, drove all the villagers out of their homes, and took them to a clearing by the sea. The old man was also dragged out of the house by the bandits in his sleep, and even kicked They drove them to the beach. That night, more than 100 bandits came, each with a bright sword in their hands. If the villagers resisted, they would be beaten and kicked by them, making them miserable. But at that time they had to force The villagers handed over their money, so they didn't kill anyone."

When Liu Shengzongyan said this, Wang Xiaoyu couldn't help but said loudly: "Only more than 100 bandits came, and they arrested hundreds of villagers. What a joke. Could it be that among these villagers, none of them have Bloody man, dare to stand up and resist?"

Liu Sheng Zongyan sneered, and said in his mouth: "Common people, how many people are willing to stand up against the bandits? Everyone only cares about their own lives, as well as their wives and children. Not only the people of Fusang Kingdom are like this, but the whole world In every country, is there any country whose people are not such cowards? Take your Ming Dynasty as an example, those wandering warriors who were defeated in the Fusang Kingdom became pirates, and often a dozen people could kill and injure the entire village and town of Daming people. I have never heard that any Ming people dared to stand up and resist. Another example is that Zong set up a group of only six or seven people, who slashed and wounded at the Bosi Yamen in Ningbo City. When you arrived at the border of Shandong, you Ming officers and soldiers fled watching the wind, and tens of thousands of people all over the country were even more frightened. When they saw Zong She and others appear, they immediately shouted, those who go up the mountain go up the mountain, and those who go down the river go down the river, who would dare Stand up and resist?"

Wang Xiaoyu was robbed of a few words by Liu Sheng Zongyan, although he was not angry, but what Liu Sheng Zongyan said was true, but he couldn't refute it, so angry that Wang Xiaoyu stared, and finally said angrily: "That is They didn't meet this girl. If they met this girl, they would have stabbed them to death with a sword, how could they be so rampant?!"

Liu Sheng Zongyan knew that Wang Xiaoyu had nothing to refute, so he could only force his arguments, so he ignored her, and continued: "When the old man was driven to the seaside, seeing the bandit holding a gleaming sword in his hand, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. , squatting on the ground, not daring to say a word. The bandit leader dragged a 80-[-]-year-old man out of the crowd and forced him to tell where the money was hidden. The old man was so frightened that he couldn’t even speak. Come out. The bandit leader became agitated and wanted to kill people to gain power. So he swung his big knife and chopped it down on the old man's neck."
