A knife in love

Chapter 544

Li Qiufeng thought that Guan Yu's head had already been snatched back by him. Although Situ Qiao was not a good person, he was not a traitor or a villain, and he had been defeated many times. As long as he was careful, he was not afraid of him making troubles.What's more, those two people have already been scared away by me, but these two people are elusive, and their moves are strange.Looking at Situ Qiao's appearance, he is incompatible with these two people.It's just that his martial arts were inferior to those two, and he had to rely on himself to fend off the enemy, so he didn't dare to attack himself at this time.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Mr. Situ, these two people behave very strangely, and their martial arts are not weak. If you want to make trouble, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

Situ Qiao naturally knew that Li Qiufeng was warning him, so he nodded.At this time, the moon and stars were scarce, and Li Qiufeng's face could be vaguely seen pale.Situ Qiao knew that Li Qiufeng was injured, and was about to ask him how his injury was, when he heard chaotic footsteps from the south.The two were a little stunned, and turned their heads to look together.It's just that the night is vast, and as far as the eyes can see, it is only a few feet in front of the tavern, and looking south, it is pitch black.

Li Qiufeng said in a low voice: "There are quite a few people who heard the footsteps. The traps set up by those two people are still here. Please trouble Mr. Situ to destroy all these traps to avoid future troubles. I will go and see what it is." People are here."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he ran towards the tavern with a steel knife in his hand.When he arrived in front of the tavern, he saw figures shaking, but it was Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi who jumped out of the tavern.Seeing Li Qiufeng hurrying, the two of them were also somewhat surprised.Yu Fan said: "Hero Li, what happened?"

Li Qiufeng knew that Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi were not weak in martial arts, so he presumably heard footsteps in the tavern, so he left the tavern to check the situation.At this moment, Li Qiufeng didn't have time to elaborate, so he had to say: "The enemy attacked just now, and it is indeed the master who pretended to be Guan Yu that we had seen in front of the stage. Mr. Situ and I have scared him away, but the south of the town It seems that many people rushed over..."

He hadn't finished speaking when there was a faint commotion in the south of the town.Li Qiufeng shut up in astonishment, and the three of them looked south together.After a while, there were only vague figures, mixed with the shouts of men and women, and the cries of children.When the three were surprised, a large group of people had appeared in front of the three.

I saw these people were old and young, men and women, most of them were dressed in shabby clothes and looked flustered.When they saw Li Qiufeng and the other three, they stopped immediately and huddled together.Some women held their children tightly in their arms, showing fearful and hateful eyes.

But Li Qiufeng didn't know that after Cai Jing and Du Tiexin led the Biyunwu people here, in order to ambush the thieves, they drove all the people in the town out of their homes, escorted them to a forest in the south of the town, and sent more than a dozen Zhuang Ding took care of it.These people are timid and fearful. Seeing that Zhuang Ding of Biyunwu looked like a fierce man, waving a shining steel knife in his hand, they were scared out of their wits.Although there were three to four hundred people in the town, they were so frightened by these dozen Zhuang Ding that they were honest and did not dare to resist at all.

It's just that after nightfall, there was a sudden commotion in the town, and then many Zhuang Ding from Biyunwu fled over.Zhuang Ding, who was guarding the people, went forward and whispered something to Zhuang Ding who had fled into the tree, his expression changed drastically, he couldn't care less about the people being guarded, and they left in a hurry.These people didn't know what happened, and they were still sitting in the woods obediently at the beginning, but after those Zhuang Ding escaped, they never came back.The common people whispered, and some boldly said that most of the officers and soldiers had arrived, and the robbers scattered and fled.All the people were overjoyed, so they helped the old man and walked towards the town with the children.At the beginning, I was a little trembling, but after walking more than a hundred steps, I didn't see a single shadow of Zhuang Ding.Only then did the common people believe that the robbers had escaped, and they became bolder and hurried to their homes.Before arriving at the tavern, most of the people had already returned to their homes, leaving only 70 to [-] people hurrying on their way.It's just that when they saw Li Qiufeng and the other three with strange faces and weapons in their hands in front of the tavern, these people were startled, stopped immediately, and huddled together.

Seeing the appearance of the people, Li Qiufeng knew that they were terrified, so he hurriedly said to them: "Fellow folks, don't panic, we are all officials from the government..."

Before he finished speaking, all the people immediately exclaimed, and then dozens of people gathered around, talking about what happened today.It's just that there are too many people talking, and they gather together to make a noise, but it's hard to hear what they are talking about.Fortunately, Li Qiufeng and Yu Fan are both quick-witted people, after listening carefully, they made a good guess about the situation.

At this time, Situ Qiao had already destroyed all the bronze mirrors and other objects installed everywhere, and then walked back to the tavern.It's just that there is a large group of people gathered in front of the tavern, and they don't know what they are arguing about.He hid aside and didn't show his face.

All the people were arguing around Li Qiufeng and the other three, but someone saw a head protruding from the tavern, spying on the street.The commoner saw the man's attire and recognized the attire of Zhuang Ding of Biyunwu, and immediately shouted: "The robber is hiding in the tavern!"

With his loud cry, all the people were frightened to silence.Li Qiufeng turned his head to look, but there was Zhuang Ding from Biyunwu lying at the door, looking out ghostly.Li Qiufeng said to the people: "Dear folks, don't panic, with us here, no one will hurt you!"

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, all the people became courageous immediately.The cook in the tavern was stubborn, and when he was driven away during the day, because he gave Zhuang Ding a glare, he got kicked on the buttocks a few times, just because he had nowhere to vent his anger.Now that he has the support of the government, he is a lot more courageous.He raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "The officials are in charge, what do we have to be afraid of? Let's rush in and drag out these strong men, beat them hard first, and then send the culprits to the officials!"

For thousands of years, although the common people were timid and afraid of getting into trouble, once someone took the lead, these people would change their faces.Today, all the people suffered a lot of humiliation under Zhuang Ding of Biyunwu, and everyone was very angry.It's just that no one took the lead, so I had to hold back.Hearing the cook's roar at this moment, the crowd became furious, and even those women who were hiding with their children in their arms also shouted and cursed at this moment.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qiufeng 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 wanted to stop them, they just saw that the people were furious, how could they stop them?In the blink of an eye, the people rushed into the tavern.There was only a "crackling" sound in the tavern, and it seemed that the tables, chairs, bowls and dishes had been smashed a lot.The shopkeeper of the tavern is a wretched man in his 40s and the richest man in the town.At this time, the fat lady who was holding him was scared out of her wits.It's just that when I heard the noise in the tavern, my heart ached so much, but I didn't dare to stop it, so I could only recite "Save the Suffering and Save the Difficult Guanyin Bodhisattva" in my heart, hoping that the tables, chairs, dishes and dishes would be less damaged.

After half a stick of incense, only the voices of people were heard, and then all the people poured out of the tavern.But I saw a few people were pushed outside the tavern by the people, all of them were in tattered clothes, with bruised noses and swollen faces.Li Qiufeng, Yu Fan, and Yu Chengsi looked intently, but saw that the few people caught by the people were the young master Cai Jing of Biyunwu, the chief housekeeper Du Tiexin, and two other Zhuang Ding.

It turned out that after Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi left the tavern, Cai Jing and 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 the two Zhuang Ding, he heard voices outside the door, so he hurriedly asked a Zhuang Ding to go to the door to find out what was going on.That Zhuang Ding was afraid, he didn't dare to go out the gate of the tavern, he just poked his head around the gate, but was discovered by all the people.Then the cook greeted, and dozens of people rushed into the tavern.Everyone in Biyunwu was startled, before they could react, they were surrounded by the people, and countless fists rained down.Although everyone in Biyunwu has martial arts, it's just that the tavern is extremely narrow, and they didn't expect the common people to rush in and fight.By the time they reacted, they were already squeezed into the crowd, and it was extremely difficult to even turn around, so how could it be said to fight back with martial arts?In a short while, four Zhuang Ding were beaten to death by the people.Cai Jing, Du Tiexin, and the other two Zhuang Ding were also beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces, and [-]% of their lives were lost.

Normally, these people are good people, not to mention killing people, they dare not even swear and fight.However, under the anger at this time, someone took the lead again, and vented all his anger.The more honest people are, 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 common people, and even their bodies were trampled into disrepute.In the end, someone yelled, "Drag these robbers to the road and hang them up, light them with sky lanterns, and see if there are any robbers who dare to come to our town to do evil!"

At this time, the common people were all red-eyed. After hearing the shout, they immediately applauded and dragged Cai Jing, Du Tiexin and others who had been beaten half to death out of the tavern.Some people went to find big logs and ropes, trying to hang Cai Jing and others and burn them alive.

Li Qiufeng saw that all the people had ferocious faces and looked crazy, so he knew that the situation was not good, so he hurried forward to stop them.At this time, the common people were so violent that they waved their fists at Li Qiufeng and cursed.Those old people and women who had been hiding outside the tavern also rushed up, punching and kicking Cai Jing and the others who were kneeling on the ground. Some children picked up sand, gravel and soil from the ground and threw them at Cai Jing and the others. .

At this time, the people who had already returned to their homes gathered together when they heard the shouts. When they heard that the robber had been caught, they rushed forward and beat Cai Jing and others with their fists.

Li Qiufeng wanted to stop him, but Yu Fan gently tugged at Li Qiufeng's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "The crowd is so angry right now, we can't stop it..."

Li Qiufeng didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately said: "These people don't deserve to die, why can't we just watch them being beaten to death?"

Yu Fan said: "Yu has been in the officialdom for a long time, and I have seen many such scenes. When the people gather to make trouble, unless there is a large army, they must not be stopped by force, otherwise even we will be trapped in it. Anyway, Biyunwu These guys are not good people, they bullied the people first, even if they were beaten to death, they deserved what they deserved, no wonder others!"
