Chapter 127
Guo Rong put down Zhong Moxiao and looked back. There were countless soldiers not far behind him, but because Zhong Moxiao was in his hand, he didn't dare to approach. He stepped on Zhong Moxiao under his feet and said, "Master Zhong, let them see your appearance." Zhong Moxiao said angrily: "You little brat, it's better to kill me, otherwise there will be something you are good at!" Guo Rong ignored him and called Xie Ruying to Zeng Qiao. Zeng Qiao helped Xie Ruying into the carriage, closed the curtain and returned, and asked, "Young Master Guo, why is the Yingmei you saved?" Guo Rong said, "I can't find the hero Zhuo, so I can only
If you come to save someone yourself, it’s not just that the hero Zhuo can save you. I didn’t expect you to come to save Miss Xie too. She didn’t kill your father, don’t you hate her? Why would you come to save her?" Zeng Jia said: “Mr. Guo, maybe you are right. We should all hate Yingmei. After all, she killed someone with a knife. But when will the revenge be avenged? My father owe Yingmei’s mother, Yingmei must take revenge before she will give up. But Yingmei kills her father, if we must take revenge before she will give up, then wouldn’t she kill her own sister yourself.”
After a pause, Zeng Jia continued: "Actually, Yingmei is very pitiful. She has not had the love of her father since she was a child, and she lives with her mother for life, but she has been living in hatred. Even the only senior brother she is looking forward to can't come to save her. Fortunately, you saved her. Now, as the head of Zengjiazhuang, I don't want this grudge to continue. I don't want to hate, as long as the family is harmonious and there will be no disputes." After saying that, I said to Guo Rong: "Mr. Guo, does your Excellency have any special purpose in saving Yingmei?" Guo Rong shook his head and said: "No. Only.
It was searching for Hero Zhuo for a day and a night without any clues, so he rescued him rashly." Yun Zhengting said, "Brother-in-law followed Hero Zhuo and left. Now the two have not seen each other for more than ten days. I don't know where the person is, which is very worrying." Zeng Jia said angrily: "This dog official! No wonder no matter how much silver is, Yingmei will be sentenced to be executed. It turned out that it was because of the hatred of Heifeng Village. I really can't figure out how the infamous Heifeng Village leader was the imperial official. What kind of luck is this? This young master must kill him today!" As he said that, he went over and kicked Zhong Moxiao in front of him.
Yun Zhengting immediately stopped Zeng Jia and pointed at the soldiers in the distance. The weapons they raised were filled with cold lights and said loudly: "Third brother, look, if you kill this dog official now, I'm afraid that Zengjiazhuang would not be able to accommodate these soldiers no matter how big it is." Zeng Jia looked over and the soldiers stood in a row, with no boundaries at a loss. Guo Rong said angrily: "You don't dare to kill, let me kill me!" Yun Zhengting also stopped him and said: "Now Zengjiazhuang rolls up."
How can you easily kill if you say it? No matter who kills this dog official, Zengjiazhuang cannot escape. I think that only by imprisoning this dog official in the village can you protect Zengjiazhuang for a while. As for the long-term plan, I may have to wait until my brother-in-law and Zhuo Daxiao return to the village to discuss it." Zeng Jia nodded in agreement. So, he placed Zhong Moxiao on the back of the horse, Yun Zhengting drove the carriage, Zeng Qiao sat with Xie Ruying in the carriage, and everyone ran towards Zengjiazhuang.
After entering the gate, Yun Zhengting immediately ordered the closing of the door, and the Zeng family soldiers and guards were waiting for the battle. Then, Zhong Moxiao was imprisoned in the trapped beast pavilion, and Fang Shengming and Zhang Xu took turns to guard. He sent Xie Ruying back to Chunhui Pavilion, and Zeng Qiao personally sent her into the boudoir. Soon, she came out alone and saw Guo Rong, Yun Zhengting and Zeng Jia were discussing in the pavilion, so she walked over. Seeing that she was sad, Yun Zhengting asked, "What's wrong with Qiao Mei?" Zeng Qiao looked behind her and saw that no one was following her, she whispered: "Don't you think Ying Mei was strange?" Everyone shook their heads in confusion. Zeng Qiao said, "Sit in the carriage with her, and I heard her repeating the words "Senior Brother Come and save me." She said nothing else, and she said this sentence over and over again."
Everyone was confused, and Yun Zhengting murmured, "Is it because of excessive fright?" Zeng Qiao said, "Realistically speaking, no matter how scared she is, she will not know nothing. I asked her, but she didn't answer a word. She just cared about herself, but the same thing was said after all." Guo Rong said angrily, "Damn Zhong Moxiao! I will kill him now." Zeng Qiao said, "I just entered Yingmei's room, but now it's exactly the same as the boudoir."
Don't you find it strange?" Yun Zhengting asked in confusion: "'It's exactly the same as the boudoir', what does this sentence mean?" Zeng Qiao smiled and said, "My stupid brother, don't you understand? Think about it, Yingmei and Zhuo Daxia have been called husband and wife for a long time, but there are no traces of men in Yingmei's room. Why is this?" Zeng Jia said in surprise: "Second sister, are you saying that Yingmei and Zhuo Daxia did not have sex?" Zeng Qiao nodded.
Yun Zhengting murmured, "I didn't expect that they would be respectful to each other as much as this." Zeng Qiao smiled and said, "Silly Brother, it's not as simple as respecting each other. I think there must be secrets that cannot be told." Zeng Jia said, "What other secrets are there? At most, isn't it just assassinating my father?" Zeng Qiao said, "The third brother said it well. It seems that Yingmei and Zhuo Daxia stayed in the village and catered to everyone in the village to win everyone's trust in them, and the purpose is to assassinate their father. Can a person's hatred be so deep? Moreover, it is a hatred for his own father!" Zeng Jia said, "Second sister is right. So, since my father wants this young master to manage Zengjiazhuang, then I don't want such deep hatred anymore." As he said, he turned to look at Yun Zhengting and said, "Second brother-in-law, I have something to ask you to do."
Yun Zhengting looked at him in a daze, wondering what arrangements the person who had just taken charge of Zengjiazhuang had. Zeng Jia nodded and agreed to the agreement when he saw Yun Zhengting nodding and continued, "Second brother-in-law, you and your father mentioned the matter of Tianyu Gang. Now what do you think? You might as well put it forward again. I am willing to listen to your suggestions." Yun Zhengting said, "Third brother, since you talk about the matter of Tianyu Gang, then brother-in-law will tell the truth. Whether your father was kind or had other plans at the beginning, we don't have to investigate it further. But judging from today's situation, the existence of Tianyu Gang is a mistake. First, there are constant internal disputes among the Tianyu Gang, which makes the dog uneasy. Secondly, the fishermen are lazy and difficult to manage. Moreover, after the establishment of Tianyu Gang, Zengjiazhuang's income in fishing has actually decreased, but its expenditure has increased a lot. Especially now, internal and external troubles are difficult to distract from managing such a large fishing gang."
Zeng Jia nodded constantly while listening, saying, "The second brother-in-law's words are reasonable. So what better way does the second brother-in-law have?" Yun Zhengting said, "If the third brother is willing to listen to his brother-in-law's words, you might as well disband the Tianyu Gang, but don't let them set up any gangs, but fish in the form of a single family. Zengjiazhuang will collect fish rent, and the fish rent will be reduced compared to before. In this way, first, not forming gangs will not pose any threat to Zengjiazhuang. Second, after paying the rent, the rest belongs to the fishermen themselves, and everyone will work as hard as before, instead of thinking about ways to be lazy all day long. Then, Zengjiazhuang can collect fish profits without paying anything, and what's wrong with fishermen living and working in peace?"
After listening, Guo Rong could not help but nodded and said "Okay". Zeng Jia said, "Dad gave the big Zengjiazhuang to this young master a mistake. In fact, the second brother-in-law should have been in charge. However, since my father's last wish is like this, we don't have to go against his last wish. Second brother-in-law, the matter of Tianyu Gang will be handled as you said. I will give you the full responsibility for this matter." Yun Zhengting was naturally happy and said, "The third brother is the blessing of millions of people on the shore of Dongting Lake!" Zeng Jia murmured, "I am just a idle playboy. If I hadn't met her, how could I understand the warmth and bitterness of the world?"
Zeng Qiao said, "Third brother, how should the officers and soldiers outside deal with it?" Zeng Jia felt embarrassed after hearing this and said, "I don't know what to do. Mr. Guo, do you have a good idea?" The reason he asked Guo Rong was because he knew that the other party was a martial arts person and thought they were good at these things related to force. Guo Rong said seriously: "It is better for me to go out and arrest the magistrate of Yuezhou to Zengjiazhuang and imprison him for ten days and half a month, see if they dare to act here." Yun Zhengting said, "No. If we openly oppose the government, and the two words of official name are just a lie, we will just give us a charge of rebellion and rebellion, how can Zengjiazhuang afford it?" Zeng Jia asked, "Second brother-in-law, what do you think you should do." Yun Zhengting said, "Only reconciliation is the way out."
Guo Rong said: "Zhong Moxiao was originally the leader of Heifeng Village. A robber leader became an official, which was ridiculous! Now, we have to bow to them and seek reconciliation, which is even more ridiculous! I am not good at doing such a thing, and I can't do it." Yun Zhengting said: "Third brother, no, let's call you Brother Rong. You must know that the overall situation must be the priority. Thousands of people in Zengjiazhuang are in our hands. How can we act on our own? If you take a wrong step, it may lead to the destruction of the entire Zengjiazhuang." Zeng Jia nodded and said: "That's right, my second brother-in-law is right. Then, the reconciliation will be left to my second brother-in-law to handle, how about?" Yun Zhengting said: "Okay." He knew clearly that Guo Rong was young and energetic, and Zeng Jia had no experience, so it was the best choice to handle this matter himself.
Suddenly, a voice came: "Where is that little girl?" The four of them looked at it, but it was Zeng Ni. But when she saw her stepping into Chunhui Pavilion with a sword, her face full of murderous aura. Zeng Jia, Yun Zhengting and Zeng Qiao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister, what are you doing?" Zeng Ni said, "Avenge your father! Why, have you forgotten how your father died?" Zeng Qiao said, "Sister, now the third brother in Zengjia Village is the mastermind, you should listen to what he said." Zeng Ni looked at Zeng Jia and shouted, "Third brother, then do you think you want to avenge your father?" Zeng Jia said, "Sister, sit down first and listen to me slowly." As he said that, he took Zeng Ni's hand and walked into the pavilion.
Zeng Ni shook his hand away and said sternly: "If you want to say anything, hurry up and say it, don't you know the temperament of your elder sister?" Zeng Jia said: "Sister, I ask you, if it was the father who I killed, would you kill me?" Zeng Ni looked at him and said: "Yes! But it's not you, it's that little girl." Zeng Jia said: "No, it's me. That night, everyone saw it, it was the sword in my young master's hand that stabbed my father." Zeng Ni said:
"Fool! That's not you, but the little girl who uses a knife to kill people! The martial arts she teaches you are all designed. The trap she designed to let you get in is to use your hand to kill your father and avenge her mother. Everyone has seen this, how could the eldest sister kill you? She can only kill this beast who has a mother but no mother's teachings!" As she said that, she pushed Yun Zhengting and Zeng Qiao away, and were about to push the door. Yun Zhengting and Zeng Qiao could not know martial arts, so she was gently pushed away.
Suddenly, Guo Rong flashed and blocked the door and said, "Miss Zeng, this door is probably not something you can enter as long as you want." Zeng Ni stared at him viciously and said, "You are not your turn to take care of the family affairs of Zengjiazhuang. Get out of here!" Guo Rong stood there with a smile and said, "It's a pity that I don't know how to get out, why don't you teach me?" Zeng Ni was furious and reached out to grab it, but Guo Rong turned his hand to grab it, but Guo Rong grabbed her wrist instead. Zeng Ni waved the sword with his right hand, and Guo Rong lowered his head to avoid it, and took the opportunity to grab her hand with his other hand. Zeng Ni struggled to break free, but Guo Rong grabbed it tighter. Zeng Ni felt pain, "Ah" and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground. Guo Rong grabbed the sword with his foot and threw it away, and pushed her away, saying, "Miss, as long as I am here, no one is allowed to approach Miss Xie's door."
Zeng Ni said angrily: "Boy, you are forcing that little girl!" Guo Rong said: "That's right! Miss Xie is already pitiful enough, why do you still have the heart to hurt her?" Zeng Ni said: "I didn't expect that this little girl is so coquettish, so fascinated by the "Invincible Silver Spear" and can still fascinate you, kid. I don't know what kind of drug she has given you! But you can go outside and inquire, don't be deceived by someone's appearance." Guo Rong said: "Don't be shy, say such words! How do you say thank you
The girl is also considered a lady from Zengjiazhuang, your half-sister, and she actually said such shameless words to her." Zeng Ni said, "It was not what I said, but from the outside to Zengjiazhuang." Guo Rong asked in surprise: "What came in?" Zeng Ni said, "According to the officers and soldiers, Zhong Moxiao played with that little girl all night. Do you still want such broken shoes? Hahaha!" After hearing this, Guo Rong and the other four were shocked and asked in surprise: "Take it serious?" Zeng Ni said, "I don't know whether this lady is true or not. You can tell if you go and ask her."
Guo Rong thought about Xie Ruying's expression and recalled what Zhong Moxiao said. What Zeng Ni said seemed to be true, and she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. Zeng Jia said angrily: "Big sister, Yingmei is our sister. Wouldn't you say that insult Zengjiazhuang?" Zeng Ni said: "It's not that the eldest sister insults her, but what the officers and soldiers said. Think about it, no matter what, it is the family affairs of our Zengjiazhuang. Why did the government forcefully arrest Xiao Nizi to the yamen? Moreover, second brother-in-law and third brother, how many gifts did you give to the yamen? Even if you are really a death row prisoner, it is enough to redeem her. Why did Hong Zhengfa still sentence Xiao Nizi to the yamen? It was only when the day of the beheading that he revealed his true face. It turned out that Zhong Moxiao was making trouble behind him. But we didn't know it before!" Everyone fell into deep thought and had to say that what Zeng Ni said was reasonable, and Yun Zhengting and others also knew this in their hearts.
Zeng Ni continued, "Zhong Moxiao is not a good man and a woman. Will he let Xiao Ni go so easily if he succeeds? Xiao Nizi and her senior brother burned down Heifeng Village, killed many brothers, and made the hamlet he had run for more than ten years goblin overnight. Could it be that Zhong Moxiao would only chop her head and vent her hatred? Think about it, he was originally a robber leader who did everything he could do. What would he do if he met such a great beauty? In addition, there was such a deep blood hatred. Think about it yourself, will the rumors about the officers and soldiers be true?" After hearing this, Guo Rong exclaimed, "Ah" and said, "Zhong."
Mo Xiao destroyed his conscience and dared to destroy Miss Xie's innocence. I must kill him!" Zeng Ni grabbed him and said, "Boy, do you want to destroy Zengjiazhuang?" Guo Rong was shocked: "At this time, you are still thinking about Zengjiazhuang! Shouldn't you kill evil thieves like Zhong Mo Xiao?" Zeng Ni said, "Have you never killed anyone in my subordinates? Do you still need you to teach me? But if you kill Zhong Mo Xiao, who can resist the thousands of troops outside? Even if the fourth brother comes back, he can't resist the thousands of troops outside!" Yun Zhengting, Zeng Qiao and Zeng Jia also advised him to calm down.
After a while, Yun Zhengting said, "If a beast like Zhong Moxiao is killed with one knife, it would be too cheap. Otherwise, when Zhuo Daxia and his brother-in-law come back, we will discuss a complete plan, which will definitely lead Zhong Moxiao to be cut into pieces." Guo Rong said, "Why should we wait for them to come back? How could Wen Daxia come back with Zhuo Daxia? In Wen Daxia's eyes, Zhuo Daxia is a conspirator to kill Mr. Zeng, how could the two of them make up?" Yun Zhengting said, "Even if that's the case
, if you can't find Miss Xie, Daxia Zhuo will definitely come to Zengjiazhuang to look for it." Guo Rong said, "But we can't wait for them to come back before we get rid of Zhong Moxiao." Zeng Ni said, "That's right, now thousands of troops are surrounding the village, how can you wait for them to come back? Boy, do you dare to do something?" Guo Rong looked at her and said, "What are you afraid of doing? But no matter what you ask me to do, no matter what you ask me to do!" Zeng Ni sneered, "Hmph, retreating at the last minute, what kind of hero is it!"
Yun Zhengting said, "Brother Rong, now the enemy is in front of you, let's put aside your personal grudges first. Let's hear what's wrong with my elder sister." Guo Rong said, "After rumor in the world, the person Zhong Moxiao relies on is the Lord of Xianhe Valley in the King of Chu's Mansion. Mr. Guo, if you can take this bullshit Valley Master, then Zhong Moxiao is not afraid. However, I heard that this Valley Master is very skilled in martial arts. Judging from your young age, I am afraid that he will be scared to hide away when he hears his name!"
