This stalemate is brewing; they're about to start a brawl! Danger couldn't dampen Song Yan's curiosity, so she took a few steps forward to get a better look at the situation.
It is obvious that Tugang Village has a large number of young and middle-aged people. The seven people in the lead are clearly stronger and more robust.
Captain Wu: "Mao Yiheng, do you have no shame at all?"
Mao Yiheng: "Am I wrong? It was your brigade that tried to kill your own people. It's one thing for you to be ruthless, but he's clinging to my son just to save his own life."
Do as I say, and you'll spare Cheng Kuan's life, saving my son from trouble in the process.
"Your son instructed Cheng Kuan to steal our weaving group's things and even burned the weaving group down. How dare you stand here and speak?" Cheng Yousuo said, his face flushed with anger.
"Stop talking nonsense. If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate. Captain Wu, as long as you go to the police station and say that Cheng Kuan is no longer being pursued, I'll take my men and leave immediately."
"If you don't know what's good for you, then try and see if our Tugang Village is a pushover, and whether you can bully us!"
Song Yan's values were shattered.
Mao Yiheng wanted to use force to coerce the Qingshan Brigade into not pursuing the matter.
Cheng Kuan was caught red-handed arson, and he confessed to intending to kill someone. The brigade won't pursue the matter; does that mean he'll get away with it? How could that be?
Mao Yiheng is really daring! What's his head made of?
Captain Wu: "Mao Libin, you brought your entire brigade here for a brawl. Do you know what the consequences will be?"
"What's the big deal? It's just a group fight," Mao Yiheng said.
Mao Libin: "You people from your village are framing our brigade leader, and you still think you're right? Do as my grandfather said. Go and bail Cheng Kuan out, so our brigade leader won't have to suffer along with you."
"Let me tell you, if it really comes down to a fight, we won't be the ones who suffer."
How many of you guys can fight? The one who can fight is crippled, and he's not here yet, right?
"Captain Wu, think about your team. It's just a matter of you running an errand; there's no loss for you now," Mao Yiheng said arrogantly.
"That's bullshit! We suffered no loss, we were the ones who discovered it. Does that mean you didn't do anything immoral? You'd rather have a fire burn us all down!"
"Damn it, you've come to our doorstep, do you think I'm afraid of you? I'd be your grandson!" Cheng Yousuo cursed.
As soon as Cheng Yousuo shouted this, the people from the Qingshan Brigade gripped their sticks tightly.
"You really don't know what's good for you. Do you think you can beat me?" Mao Libin said, taking a step forward, followed by the burly men on either side of him. They certainly exuded an intimidating aura.
In terms of numbers, they definitely outnumbered the Qingshan Brigade.
A brawl between the two battalions was about to break out.
"Wait a minute! Such a large-scale armed conflict is no small matter," Lu Xingtian shouted.
"If you want this matter to be resolved amicably, Captain Wu, do as my grandfather said," Mao Libin shouted.
Song Yan: Is there anything more shameless than this?
"Let us discuss this matter; it's not something that can be decided immediately," Lu Xingtian said politely.
Not only Cheng Yousuo, but many people were also annoyed by Lu Xingtian.
How can you be so spineless? What a coward.
"Alright, I'll give you a little time. Let you discuss it." Mao Yiheng couldn't help but show a smug look on his face when he saw that even the secretary of Qingshan Brigade was backing down.
Lu Xingtian pulled Captain Wu back. Several militiamen naturally positioned themselves opposite the villagers of Tugang. Cheng Yousuo and a few other strong men followed Captain Wu toward the brigade headquarters.
Upon entering the brigade headquarters, Lu Xingtian's amiable expression vanished instantly. "Brigade Commander, in the past, when the two brigades fought, were the victors always determined by their own abilities? Did no one report it?"
Captain Wu had also thought Lu Xingtian was a bit too cowardly. But looking at his serious expression, he guessed something. After all, he was a soldier; how could he be so spineless? "If you're capable, you win; if you're not, you suffer. That's always been how it is. No one's been killed. There's no need to report it."
“If you can’t beat someone, you should report it to the police. Isn’t that the same as a child who can’t beat someone seeking help from an adult?” Cheng Yousuo said.
“It’s not the same thing. They’re breaking the law now. We should beat them up and then sue them,” Lu Xingtian said.
Captain Wu: "In the past, we were always prepared in advance when fighting, so we usually didn't suffer losses. Their actions really caught us off guard."
"Damn it, that makes sense. Mao is always unreasonable. But this is the first time he's acted like this. His son is about to be executed, and he's panicked," said Captain Wu.
Cheng Yousuo: "They blocked the road to the commune, so we have to take a detour through the Hexi Brigade to get there. It's much longer."
"I think there's a way to get the message out."
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Song Yan.
Song Yan: "Wei Aiguo went to the commune. I've put the information on Bai Shuang's neck, and Bai Shuang will definitely be able to find him."
“Good! Military dogs can handle this task without any problem,” Lu Xingtian said.
“They clearly outnumber us. If a fight breaks out, we…” At this point, Cheng Yousuo calmed down.
Captain Wu: "Mao Yiheng knows that Wei Aiguo is not here. Our brigade has another traitor."
"They overlooked me," Lu Xingtian said, pointing to himself. "Count me in as one of those charging ahead. And we also need to be strategic..."
…
Song Yan went back to fetch Bai Shuang and wrote down what had happened on a piece of paper.
When Song Yan returned, he saw Wang Wenjuan leading all the women in the village, carrying sticks.
