Chapter 41 Big Melon
The crowd immediately erupted in uproar and discussion.
"What? The imperial court really wants to divide the land..."
"What's the point of dividing the land? In a place like Chiling, there's a small battle every three days and a big one every five days. You never know when we'll be pulled to guard the city walls..."
"Having land gives me hope, which is better than living on the edge of a knife..."
"Come on, look at us brothers. Which one of us looks like someone who can farm? The northern border is already barren, and we can't grow any food..."
"I don't think so. You've forgotten that the new group of people are mostly refugees from Yuzhou, and farming is their specialty..."
The horse bandits have always been difficult to control and can't keep secrets, so they started chatting at this moment.
Seeing that the man on Yang Guizi's side seemed to be about to move and was hesitantly moving his horse closer to the official, Huang San realized that he could not wait any longer and hurriedly scolded the man who came later.
"Old Blackie, what are you yelling about? This kind of nonsense can only fool ignorant women and children. Can the court be so kind? If the court could truly sympathize with the people, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"
He pointed at the man who had fallen off his horse and became more and more excited as he cursed.
"Besides, you're a wanted criminal who murdered his wife and sold his children. Even if the imperial court wanted to recruit you, it wouldn't be you, right? What's your real purpose in making up this lie?"
Zhao Si, who had dismounted before Lao Heizi, glanced at Huang San expressionlessly upon hearing this, then quickened his pace and ran and jumped to Lao Zhang's side.
"I knew something was wrong. How could he be a good person with that look... If he's not a good person, why did he bring me here... To die?"
Zhao Si kept muttering to himself, which made Old Zhang very depressed.
"Did someone hit you in the head?" Old Zhang glanced at the knife wound on Zhao Si's body, his expression becoming more serious. He glanced behind Old Heizi and saw no one else. He immediately grabbed Zhao Si's collar anxiously and said, "Why are you alone? Where is the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"
Zhao Si hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, she hasn't fallen into the hands of the bandits. I asked her to leave first, and I will come back to check. Maybe she is still on the way..."
These words made the faces of the people around him change.
"Stupid! She left before you. If she really left safely, why would she come back after you!" Old Zhang almost shook Zhao Si like a willow in the wind.
Wei Da also shook his fist in frustration, "It's my fault! I shouldn't have taken advantage of their trick!"
He originally thought that he had just encountered an ordinary robbery, but now he thinks that may not be the case.
The other party was obviously well prepared and was coming for someone in the team. They dared to go against the court with such great fanfare, so they must be no simple people.
"Why waste time talking? Go and save my elder sister!" Shen Mingqiu jumped out of the car window and shouted at Yang Yi anxiously.
Although he trusted Shen Chunxing very much, it was a matter of life and death after all. It was really hard to trust a young girl to face dozens of bandits.
Yang took a big step towards Lao Heizi and punched him twice. When Lao Heizi was so painful that his whole body went limp, he threw him onto the horse's back and sat on it himself. His face was expressionless the whole time, and no emotion could be seen.
"lead the way."
Shen Mingqiu stomped his feet and chased after him: “Take me with you!”
The man lying on the horse's back uttered a few words with difficulty: "What road are you leading..."
His tone was full of doubt.
After the doubt comes the wailing.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, where did this come from... Grandpa... I didn't offend you..."
The male ghost had already escaped the moment Yang Yi rushed over. He had witnessed the madness of the Shen family and did not want to suffer the physical pain.
"Lead the way." Yang repeated and punched twice again.
However, the only response he got was wailing.
Xue Yongan glanced at the male ghost floating in the air watching the show, and immediately guessed who was responsible. Recalling what the other party had shouted when he came, he was silent for a while and then spoke to persuade him.
"How long will it take you to find it alone? As the saying goes..."
Shen Mingqiu glared at him unhappily, thinking he was going to stop him.
"There's strength in numbers," Xue Yongan muttered in a serious tone. He turned to look at Yang Guizi and raised his lips. "Since Brother Wei has agreed, why don't you seize the opportunity? If you can help us drive away the bandits and find our companions, the court will make appropriate arrangements for you."
Just as the bandits said, the group of people brought by Yang Guizi were originally good citizens. When they came here, they had only participated in a few robberies of wealthy businessmen. They did not live a rich life and were in constant fear.
Now that I have a chance, how can I not be excited?
It's a pity that the dagger in Xue Yongan's hand was still dripping with blood. Even though he was trying hard to appear kind, people still didn't dare to approach him, which invisibly reduced his credibility.
Caught off guard by dozens of pairs of cloudy but hopeful eyes, Wei Da's mind was in turmoil. He was puzzled by Lao Heizi's abnormal behavior and also had doubts about Xue Yongan, but in the end, it all turned into one sentence.
"Every word he said is true..."
Before he finished speaking.
A knife came slashing from behind.
Fortunately, Wei Da was agile and managed to avoid the attack. His face darkened and he was about to give an order when the attacker was killed by a blow from the front.
Xue Yongan wiped the blade with his sleeve, glanced at Huang San who was rushing towards him as if he was looking at a corpse, and smiled.
Different from the past.
The man raised the corners of his mouth, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, his starry eyes half closed, and his fair face sparkled in the cold light.
The smile is genuine and sincere.
You can't help but be cursed by people around you: Pervert!
"I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. I can't let my elder sister follow him..." Shen Mingqiu hid behind Yang Yi's horse and muttered quietly.
The melee was re-triggered.
Yang Quezi finally got off his horse with his men, and they all took off their headscarves and joined in.
The two groups were completely separated.
It was also the first time that the Li family saw Yang Guizi's true appearance. They saw that he looked old, over 30 years old, with a slight limp in his left leg. They immediately hid behind the police and cursed him.
"What a shameless old widower! He's in his thirties, and he has the nerve to marry a teenage girl!"
“One has no arms, the other has a broken leg, what a perfect match!
"You are such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust bastard, and you dared to murder your elders! You think you can become a good person again? Pah! Our family will never agree to this! Even if I go to Chiling, I will go to the government to file a complaint against you!"
Li's eldest son's words made Bu Wan's face change. "She caused me to lose an arm that day, and now I only want one of her hands. You must be taking advantage of me!"
"What are you talking about! We weren't the ones who chopped off your arm. It was you who ran a little slower that day! Besides, she's your own grandmother..."
"Shut up!" Bu Wan threw the knife and stuck it in front of Li's eldest son's feet, as if he wanted to bite all his silver teeth off.
"My parents died of illness and were hastily buried in a mass grave without even a grave! Within three days, my father's name was crossed out from the household register, and my good second uncle became the eldest son! From then on, I knew that you were not my family!"
The exiles hid and pricked up their ears.
This is a big melon!
No matter how much Mrs. Li favors boys over girls, she shouldn't treat the offspring of her eldest son like this. That's what happened!
