Chapter 40: Family vengeance and old hatred, I dare not go unrequited
Get closer.
Wei Da still couldn't tell whether the people coming were one group or two groups?
This is because they were dressed similarly to the masked men before, with a piece of cloth wrapped tightly around their heads, leaving only a gap revealing their eyes.
From a distance, they all look the same, and it's hard to tell whether they are male or female.
"Everyone……"
"careful!"
Wei Da's face darkened slightly. He just raised his hand to give an order, but someone else spoke his mind first, and he couldn't help but squint and look over.
"Stop! Who are you?" One of the masked men separated and shouted at the group of horses that were about to rush towards him.
"Uncle San, it's me! Didn't you ask me to find a chance to bring people to support you?"
A voice echoed from the billowing yellow smoke. The man on horseback glanced at his companion, whose life or death was unknown after falling from his horse, and said angrily, "These outsiders really have no good intentions! I'm afraid they will rebel!"
After confirming that they were his own people, Huang San finally felt relieved and turned around and yelled at the group of people behind him.
"Yang Cripple, I always thought you were a real man, but I never thought you could stab me in the back! If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. What's the point of making such a fuss?"
As he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves gradually subsided.
The two groups were separated by hundreds of meters, appearing to be clearly separated.
The man called Yang Quezi kicked the yellow horse under him with his toes and walked back and forth around the teahouse.
"Mr. Huang, it's not that I want to go against you, but we agreed before that we would only rob wealthy businessmen, never harm ordinary people, and certainly not get involved with the government."
As the man spoke, he glanced at the crowd. His two deep-set eyes seemed to have hooks, making others afraid to look him in the face.
"But you led the soldiers into the village. This is against the rules."
Huang San looked at his nephew and saw him nodding at him, knowing that his plan had been exposed. He simply did not hide it and laughed out loud.
"We're all gangsters, and we all have our heads on the line. If the government officials come down this way, it's their bad luck!"
"Brother Yang, if you're afraid, you can just leave it alone. When we return, you'll definitely get a share of the money and supplies we looted."
Seeing that the bandits seemed to be about to start a quarrel among themselves, Wei Da quietly gave his men a code word.
The officers were on guard and looking for a way to retreat.
After listening for a long time, Lao Zhang couldn't help but pull a villager over and asked, "Do you have any silver?"
The villagers almost shook their heads, shaking their arms in pain, and shouted, "I don't even have any clothes! Anyone who says they robbed us for money is taking others for fools! If anyone believes this, they are absolutely stupid!"
Huang San: “…”
He felt that there was something wrong with these beggars! He had never seen any refugees so bold! Perhaps they had done business on some mountain before!
Yang Guizi lowered his eyes and glanced at the villager, then looked at the person next to him.
"They look unfamiliar." The short man wrapped in white gauze shook his head and rode to Yang Quezi's side. After hesitating, he softly persuaded, "Let's go. Since they broke the rules, we can just stay somewhere else. Don't let a small matter ruin your life."
"Your business is never a trivial matter." Yang Quezi smiled and shouted to the officers and soldiers, "Are you from Lin'an City?"
No one answered.
Wei Da looked at Xue Yongan, unsure for a moment whether the other party was coming for him or... him?
"Although we are far away in the North, we have heard about the great case of treason in the Earl of Camping's mansion. Those who have been exiled here must be related to it."
After Yang Guizi continued talking for a while, he pointed the finger at Wei Da.
"Sir, I see you seem to be in some trouble. How about you do me a favor and I'll do you one, too?"
Huang San's expression changed after hearing this. "Brother Yang, do you really want to be my enemy?"
Yang Quezi raised a finger and nodded, "I'm a stubborn person. I stick to my principles and I won't change the rules. But if it comes to something related to my wife, you know I can do anything."
Huang San glanced at the short man next to him, and then he understood a little. He concealed the fierceness in his eyes and stood aside silently.
All eyes in the room turned to Wei Da. He mused, "That depends on you. What kind of favor do you want?"
Yang Quezi's eyes flashed with brilliance as he spoke word by word, "To be honest, sir, my wife has some connections with the Earl of Kangping's mansion. Before she got married, she lived in a farm outside Lin'an City. Her maiden name is Li..."
The exiles all looked in one direction.
Mrs. Li's maiden name is Li, and her husband's family name is also Li. She is the only family in the entire village with the surname Li.
"Lan girl? Is that you, Lan girl?" Li jumped out of the crowd in surprise, clapping her hands and shouting, "I was wondering why there was someone missing an arm, it turns out it's you!"
He had been keeping his head half-lowered as if unwilling to look at the short man in the field, but finally raised his eyes amid the shouting.
The hesitation in Bu Wan's eyes gradually dissipated, and she said softly, "I haven't heard of this name for a long time..."
"What's the matter? Now that you're married, you don't recognize me as your wet nurse?" Li frowned unhappily. Under Yang Guizi's fixed gaze, she swallowed the scolding that was about to come out of her mouth, rolled her eyes, and said with a happy face.
"Hearing what my son-in-law just said, could it be that he came here specifically to save our family? I knew that this marriage was a match made in heaven! If I hadn't married you off, you would be suffering now!"
Just a few words gave the onlookers a general idea.
Vida frowned.
He had been present when Diao angrily beat Li, so he naturally knew about the dirty past.
I didn't expect that the woman who had her arm broken and was sold to a widower would appear here.
"You want to rescue the Li family?"
Hearing the voice, Yang Guizi looked at Bu Wan, as if leaving the decision to her.
"If my son-in-law doesn't save us, who will we save? We are a family! Son, come and meet your niece. You two uncle and nephew haven't seen each other for many years..." Mrs. Li waved to the crowd.
Bu Wan looked at those familiar yet unfamiliar faces, remained silent for a moment, and then uttered a few words with difficulty: "I dare not fail to avenge this old family feud!"
The onlookers were all stunned and didn't quite understand.
At this time.
Another person came on horseback from a distance, shouting wildly in a broken voice.
"Yuzhou is short of land, and the northern border is short of people. Fortunately, we have been blessed by heaven and have a wise ruler! I have heard that those who surrender to the imperial court can be allocated dozens of acres of wasteland in the northern border. If they cultivate it diligently, their taxes will be reduced. I would like to ask, is this true?"
A cold light suddenly appeared.
The woman leaped into the air from her horse and slashed Li's waving wrist with a scimitar.
The bloody scene was far more shocking than the shouting.
Li immediately fell to the ground wailing, and the Li family members were so scared that they dared not get close to her.
Yang Quezi and Bu Wan exchanged glances. Amidst his guilty expression, Yang Quezi smacked his head with his hand and laughed wildly, "Now that my madam's vengeance has been avenged, my wish has been fulfilled. May I ask, Lord Wei, is what that man just said true?"
Wei Da silently withdrew his gaze from afar. After a long moment, he nodded affirmatively: "Seriously."
