At the critical moment, villagers holding axes, kitchen knives and other weapons appeared from the bushes on all sides, their eyes fierce and vicious.
It was as if he regarded Lu Changgong as an enemy who had broken into his home.
Seeing their companions being subdued, everyone swarmed and attacked Lu Changgong and the other two.
Lu Changgong and the other two had no choice but to fight back passively.
However, a quarter of an hour later, everyone was beaten by Lu Changgong and his two companions without any power to resist.
One of the older men was about forty years old. He had a proud look on his face. Even though he had become a stray dog at this moment, his manly spirit was not weakened at all.
The momentum is not weak at all.
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. You can use any shady tricks you want, and I won't even frown." Zeng Zhipeng looked ready to die, which made Lu Changgong frown.
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you. If you kill me with one sword, I will respect you as a hero." Zeng Zhipeng spoke in a tone that was as calm as a dead pig, and his words were very aggressive, as if he was urging Lu Changgong to kill him with one sword.
Lu Changgong recalled the Japanese slaves mentioned by the little boy, and combined with Zeng Zhipeng's almost desperate attacks and hatred, Lu Changgong knew that the other party regarded them as Japanese.
Lu Changgong was not good at explaining, but the other party did not give him time to explain, and he listened to the other party pleading for others.
"Today's incident was solely my fault. I coerced them. Everyone has their own responsibility. If you release them, I, Zeng Zhipeng, will let you do whatever you want."
When Tang Peng heard Zeng Zhipeng's name, he was stunned for a moment and then took out the documents on his body.
"Excuse me, are you Zeng Zhipeng, the village chief of Meijiang Village, Ningdu County?" Tang Peng asked a few questions in order to verify the authenticity.
Zeng Zhipeng snorted coldly, thinking they wanted to humiliate him before his death, but he agreed arrogantly, "It's me, come at me if you want to kill me or chop me up."
After confirming Zeng Zhipeng's identity, Tang Peng nodded to Lu Changgong and said, "We are from the capital and were resettled in your Meijiang Village by the imperial court. This is the resettlement document from Ganzhou Prefecture. Village Chief Zeng, please take a look."
Zeng Zhipeng, who thought he was about to die, turned pale when he heard that they were people placed by the court.
He quickly adjusted his expression and guessed that they were refugees or criminals.
However, since he was not a Japanese slave, he could still survive and immediately removed the sword that was against his neck.
He took the document from Tang Peng and handed it to the thin man next to him.
Liu Changgong raised his eyebrows. The head of the village was actually illiterate.
"Brother, this is the official seal of Ganzhou Prefecture, and it belongs to the fugitives who were resettled from the capital." Zeng Zhixuan said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Zeng Zhipeng changed his previous ruthlessness and smiled brightly, "So he's one of us. We misunderstood. We haven't had any strangers settled in our village for several years."
However, the Japanese invaders came every now and then to burn, kill and loot.
When Zeng Zhipeng thought of what the Japanese had done, a sinister look suddenly flashed across his face.
Although it was fleeting, it did not escape Lu Changgong's eyes.
At the same time, he was caught red-handed by Su Sijin who came over.
Su Sijin came up to take a look after hearing that the misunderstanding here was resolved.
She was really curious about where they came from.
Their sudden appearance reminded her of the tunnel warfare opened by her ancestors in her previous life. Could it be that they also dug tunnels under the weeds?
"Village Chief Zeng, you are called Meijiang Village, right?" Tang Peng looked at the grassland in front of him and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Yes, this is Meijiang Village." Zeng Zhipeng was frank and did not hide anything.
"Is this a village?" Tang Peng pointed at the weedy wasteland in front of him, very puzzled.
Zeng Zhipeng must have thought him a fool!
Does this place look like a wasteland?
Zeng Zhipeng looked at him like an idiot and said, "This doesn't look like a village at all."
Zeng Zhipeng, a straightforward person, really doesn't like the roundabout way of writers. They don't say things directly and make people guess.
Zeng Zhixuan gently pulled his sleeve, and the contempt on his face faded a little.
Su Sijin was amused by the two people who were talking at cross purposes, "Pfft..." Although it was abrupt and impolite, it was obvious that they were not on the same channel.
Tang Peng's confusion and Zeng Zhipeng's self-righteousness, one is cute and restrained, the other is open and honest, the contrast between the two is really hilarious!
"Village Chief Zeng, where is your house? Where are you living?"
When talking to Zeng Zhipeng, you have to be direct and frank. If you say one thing but hold back half of the sentence, it will take quite a long time given his straightforward nature.
"We live downstairs." Zeng Zhipeng stamped his feet.
Sure enough, Su Sijin smiled.
Only if they live down there will they suddenly appear and disappear.
I didn't expect that they were already using tunnels here? They used the tunnels as cover and ate and slept in them?
The person living in the tunnel must be a genius to be able to think of this method.
"Down there? How can we live down there?" It's pitch black and there's no sunlight. How can we live there?
Zeng Zhipeng's eyebrows shot up in anger at Tang Peng's ignorance. He snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Who would want to live in such a dark and damp place if they had a choice?"
Just because they have lived down there for years, they suffer from bone pain at a young age, making them want to bang their heads against the wall and die.
Some people are even unable to walk due to the pain at a young age.
"I wonder which talented person came up with this method to avoid the invasion and plunder of Japan." Lu Changgong looked at Zeng Zhipeng with a sincere look. Even he might not have thought of digging a tunnel.
Even the soldiers might not be able to match the tenacity of the people of Meijiang Village.
"If we hadn't stayed down, we would have been reduced to a pile of bones long ago. The Japanese invaders are truly despicable. They robbed us all they wanted, but they burned and looted us, raped our women, and even spared our children."
"It wasn't just rape, but they brutally murdered me afterwards, humiliated me, and then murdered me."
"My wife was nine months pregnant, and the baby was about to be born, but... the Japanese invaders suddenly attacked, and my wife was surrounded by them. She was raped by many people, and finally her stomach was cut open by those beasts, and the baby was thrown to death. Wuuuuuu, beasts, beasts!"
Everyone unconsciously joined in telling about the crimes of the Japanese slaves, and heard from their mouths stories of bloodthirsty and cruel massacres.
Su Sijin never expected that there has always been such a perverted nation from ancient times to the present.
Remember the little days in your previous life, don't you...
Unexpectedly, the Japanese slaves here are even worse than them.
As a general guarding the border, Lu Changgong naturally knew the cruelty of foreign races.
At first, when he heard about the atrocities committed by the Japanese, he wrote many letters to the emperor requesting to lead troops to attack the Japanese. He believed that only by defeating the Japanese could they be intimidated.
They did not dare to invade the border and massacre the people of Dai Viet at will.
However, his request fell on deaf ears and Emperor Yuande turned a blind eye to his request.
Finally, Lu Changgong had no choice but to bring up the matter at the morning court and insisted on sending troops. Emperor Yuande rejected his request on the grounds that Japan had not openly invaded Dai Viet and there was no reason to send troops.
Not long after, he had an accident.
