Chapter 203 In Liujiatun, you have to abide by the rules of Liujiatun!
(Thanks to Gusu Flower Shopkeeper for casting a monthly vote.)
Wang Ergou must have been beaten a lot in the past. The moment Li Shiliang swung his wooden stick, he immediately raised his hand to cover his head.
Sun Laoliu was a bit dumbfounded. Despite his sleazy appearance and seemingly bad-looking nature, he was actually waving his hand to block the big sticks thrown at him by the people from Lijia Village, while shouting and cursing, "Why are you hitting me?"
I was just unlucky enough to be assigned to the same team as Wang Ergou!
Ah! I didn't flirt with the young wife!
Ah, don't hit me!
Don't hit me...
Although that's what Sun Laoliu shouted, the number of blows he received from the stick was no less than those received from Wang Ergou.
Later, the other people in the same team as Wang Ergou and Sun Laoliu were also "served" with a big stick.
Li Shiyue just sat there watching Li Shiliang and his men hit people with big sticks, her eyes never wavering. On the contrary, she thought Sun Laoliu's shouting was really too noisy.
"Third brother, it's too noisy, let's gag him and beat him up."
Li Shiliang was a good follower of Li Shiyue's orders. As soon as he heard Li Shiyue's words, he shouted for his men to grab Wang Ergou and Sun Laoliu's belts, and stuffed them into their mouths with a few quick twists.
Even Wang Ergou, who rarely shouted, had his mouth stuffed full of food.
With his mouth gagged, Sun Laoliu could only make "ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh" sounds.
Li Shiyue nodded in satisfaction when she felt it was no longer so noisy.
Only then did she look at the dark-skinned man still standing in front of her.
Actually, when Li Shiliang and his men started arresting people, Li Shiyue, the leader of the dark-skinned men opposite him, had considered whether to take advantage of their numbers and swarm up to fight Li Shiliang and his men.
But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle. Despite the sweltering heat, he felt a chill run down his spine. In the blink of an eye, he felt a layer of cold sweat on his bare back.
So, he turned his head halfway and then turned back, and then met Li Shiyue's eyes, which looked at him like he was looking at an animal.
murderous look!
He didn't understand what murderous intent was, but right now he was thinking to himself, "She has definitely killed people!"
She must have killed someone!
He felt that if he had turned his head completely away just now, before he could even shout for the men behind him to pick up their hammers and sticks and fight back against Li Shiyue and the others, he would have been sent flying by Li Shiyue just like that tall, dark-skinned man from before.
The man who was knocked away is still breathing, but he doesn't know if he would still be breathing if he were knocked away as well.
Whose life isn't a life?
Of course he cherishes his life very much!
Moreover, although there are quite a few men from their side who come to perform corvée labor, there are not many fewer men from Li Shiyue's side!
Originally, Ma Zi had led about twenty men to confront them, and then Li Shiyue brought over thirty more men, making a total of more than fifty.
The black-clad men were only a dozen or so more than Li Shiyue, and many of them were not able-bodied men, but elderly men.
Because road construction is one of the easier jobs among the corvée labor, in previous years they were either conscripted or sent to mines.
Or, they might be quarrying stones.
Otherwise, they would have to go up the mountain to cut down tall trees and transport the timber;
Sometimes they also had to deliver military supplies to the border towns.
Of all these corvée labor duties, road repair was truly the easiest job.
Moreover, the road construction is right at our doorstep. It's only a short distance from Sanshan County or Qingsong Town to Liujiatun.
If you're fast enough, you can get there in a day.
Even if something happens at home, you can give some money to the yamen runner to ask for a day off and go home in time.
Therefore, many old men took on this good corvée work in place of their sons.
In this way, the able-bodied men in the family can stay at home to take care of the household chores;
The boys could also go to the city to work, and they could earn some copper coins. They could save some so that they could buy some sweet pastries for the children at the end of the year.
Therefore, if the two sides really start fighting, Li Shiyue and his group have a greater chance of winning.
"Third Brother, take a rest."
Seeing that the person on the ground no longer dared to move, Li Shiyue then told Li Shiliang and the others to stop.
At the same time, it was also because she had already seen Li Shiyang and the five constables running towards them from a distance.
After Li Shiliang directed his men to stop, he gripped his wooden stick and stepped aside.
“I don’t care who started the verbal abuse, but my sister said you all grabbed weapons and surrounded our village, so you deserve this beating.”
In our village, especially the women and children, if you lay a finger on them or even say a harsh word, you're considered bullying them.
Anyone who tries to bully me will have to face my revenge!
Li Shiyue stood up, still holding the wooden stick she had taken from Ma Zi's hand.
She walked up to Wang Ergou, who was curled up on the ground like a ripe shrimp, holding his head. She stood there, looking down at him.
"October!
October!
Don't make a move!
Mo…
Li Shiyue naturally heard what Li Shiyang said as he ran over from a distance, but she pretended not to hear it. She raised the wooden stick in her hand towards Wang Ergou and said to Wang Ergou, who had opened his eyes on the ground, "Is that you?"
"It's your foul mouth, your dirty hands, and your black heart that's to blame."
Li Shiyue was talking while waving a wooden stick. When she said "sharp-tongued," she hit Wang Ergou in the mouth with the stick.
Li Shiyue has such great strength that she can knock two or three strong men like herself flying.
With that blow, Wang Ergou lost all his teeth, and blood gushed from his mouth.
Li Shiyue was quick too. After saying the words "cheeky" and tapping her mouth, she slapped Wang Ergou's right hand with the wooden stick.
Whether others could hear it or not, she didn't know, but Li Shiyue's extraordinary five senses allowed her to directly hear the sound of Wang Ergou's hand bones breaking.
Apart from her, no one else should be able to hear anything.
After all, Wang Ergou's screams, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered, were so loud that bystanders probably couldn't hear anything.
When Li Shiyue uttered those last words, "heartless," the wooden stick in his hand didn't strike Wang Ergou's chest; instead, it hit his knee.
If the blow had landed on his chest, even if Li Shiyue had managed to hold back, he probably would have killed Wang Ergou with a single blow.
In Li Shiyue's view, letting a sexual harassment criminal die so easily was far too lenient on him.
Wouldn't it be better to smash his kneecaps and make him suffer excruciating pain?
So when Li Shiyang ran over, he was panting heavily, about five or six steps away from Li Shiyue, and Li Shiyue could smell a very strong smell of alcohol on him.
When Li Shiyue turned around and saw Li Shiyang's appearance, as well as the several constables who were about to run over behind him, she knew that they had probably just been drinking at Li Youfu's house.
As a result, it took quite a while to get here.
It's likely that someone went to Li Youfu's house to inform Li Shiyang.
"October, you, you..."
Li Shiyue raised her hand to stop Li Shiyang from saying anything more. She gave Li Shiyang a deep look and remained silent.
Li Shiyue turned around, her back to Li Shiyang. She glanced at Wang Ergou, who was whimpering on the ground, then looked at Sun Laoliu and the others who had been beaten by Li Shiliang and his men. Finally, she looked at the leader and the dozens of men behind him who were still standing. Li Shiyue said to them, word by word, "Remember, this is Liujiatun, the place where I, Li Shiyue, am."
In Liujiatun, you have to abide by the rules of Liujiatun!
From now on, if anyone dares to speak ill of or touch the women of Liujiatun with dirty hands, remember this: this is what will happen to them!
Li Shiyue raised her hand and pointed to Wang Ergou, who was lying on the ground, seemingly dead and motionless.
After saying this, she turned to leave, but then, as if remembering something, she turned back, smiled, and said to the leading man, "From now on, anyone who dares to disrespect my mother will be killed!"
The leader of the men didn't immediately understand what Li Shiyue was saying. It wasn't until he saw Li Shiyue glance at the man who had been knocked away by her stick at the beginning and was now lying unconscious on the ground that he realized Li Shiyue meant that they had underestimated her and had insulted her mother at the beginning.
Seeing that the leading man had come to his senses, Li Shiyue turned around, waved his sleeves, and left without a trace, leading Li Shiliang and the others away.
Li Shiyang and the five bailiffs were left looking at the mess.
No, it should be said that there were eight or nine people lying on the ground who had already fainted.
Li Shiyang stood there, looking in the direction Li Shiyue and the others had left, at the large group of people following behind her, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Turning back, Li Shiyang looked at the people on the ground with a dark face, then looked up at the dark-skinned man he had promoted to a junior manager.
The burly man scurried over, knelt down before Li Shiyang, and recounted everything that had just happened to him.
The five constables who were listening to these words looked at each other and remained silent.
These men who came to perform corvée labor did not know who Li Shiyue was. They were yamen runners in the Sanshan County government office, working under Mr. Chen. Their county town was located outside Liu Tan's garrison.
How could they not know who Li Shiyue was?
They not only knew Li Shiyue, but one of the five of them had also seen Ma San, the deputy general of Liu Tan's personal guard, walking together with Li Shiyue, chatting and laughing!
