Chapter 2 Master Hu must die
The two of them suffered such a big impact, and their mood couldn't help but be a little low, and they sat for a long time, and it was getting dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Nan rubbed his stomach and muttered, "It seems that I am a little hungry, remember to set off after breakfast, I didn't eat lunch, and now it's evening." ”
Lin Weiye also said: "I'm hungry too. He dug into his backpack behind him, took out all his belongings, and put them on the table.
Xia Nan barely mustered up his energy and looked closer: "Is there anything to eat?" ”
The contents on the table were a compass, two bags of chocolate, a bottle of mineral water, a bag of bread, a Swiss army knife, and a delicate and small steel crossbow.
"Tsk, you still have a controlled weapon!" Xia Nan picked up the steel crossbow and fiddled with it, put it down, decisively picked up the bread, unpacked it and sent it to his mouth, "The knife and gun are not as real as the bread."
Lin Weiye reached out and grabbed the rest of the bread: "Leave me some." While chewing bread in his mouth, he said, "My crossbow is very powerful, and with a special steel crossbow arrow, it can shoot through a thin iron plate within 10 meters." ”
Xia Nan swallowed a mouthful of bread, took a sip of mineral water, and asked, "Why are you carrying this thing when you have nothing to do?" ”
Lin Weiye replied: "I usually like to fiddle with instruments and models, and besides, I go into Tibet alone, so it's not bad to wear self-defense." ”
After eating the bread, the two of them chatted nonsense, and heard a voice outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man came in, followed by Tan's second sister-in-law.
The two hurriedly got up, and Xia Nan asked with a smile: "This must be Brother Tan, right?" ”
The middle-aged man replied with the restraint of a countryman: "My name is Tan Er, I heard my mother-in-law tell me, you came to us in distress at sea, in the countryside, we are poor, but there is nothing to entertain." ”
Xia Nan said: "It's okay, borrow a place to settle down for the time being, and we will leave if we think of a way, and we won't disturb you." ”
Tan Er was obviously relieved, the whole village was out of breath after being squeezed by Master Hu, and the family had a last meal without a meal, and the sudden arrival of two people at home made him at a loss, and the simplicity of the peasants made him unable to say the words of driving people away.
He thought for a while: "Our village chief has just returned from the salt farm, and he is outside, so I will go and talk to him to see if I can help you take the salt boat to Guangzhou." Whether it is to return to Nanyang or do business, Guangzhou is always better than this rural place. ”
Xia Nan was about to express his gratitude, when he heard someone outside the door speak loudly: "Master Hu personally stared at your group of salt legs, and sure enough, he finished work as soon as it was dark, so lazy, how can he pay the salt class?" ”
Tan's face was like earth: "Master Hu is here!" Turning around and going out, Tan's second sister-in-law was also pale and didn't dare to speak.
Xia Nan pulled Lin Weiye and whispered: "Go and see the landlord bullies in the last years of the Ming Dynasty." ”
The two went out together. Outside the door, the small open space was already crowded with people, mostly dark-skinned villagers, and there were several brightly dressed people standing in the crowd, the first of whom was wearing a fine satin gown, and his body was fat, which contrasted sharply with the villagers around him.
The elder of the villagers explained in a low voice: "Master Hu, we don't dare to be lazy, but the whole village went out before dawn......
Before he finished speaking, the fat man in the satin robe interrupted him: "I don't care when you go out, anyway, you have to pay the salt class as soon as possible, the price of rice has risen again recently, and each stone of rice is three or five dollars of silver, and you can't pay it evenly, you all wait to go to the government to get the board on the flail!" ”
The crowd exploded with a bang, and someone shouted indignantly: "A few days ago, it was three or two, but now it is rising again, and it doesn't let people live!" ”
The fat man said slowly: "Folks, don't say that I won't give you a way to live, sign a deed, you enter my Hu family as slaves, just work, fold three taels, four taels, all by the lord and me." ”
The crowd quieted down suddenly, and the meaning of this sentence was obvious, Master Hu wanted the whole village of Yanding to become his domestic slaves, and the salt farm to become his private property.
Xia Nan sneered, this old man Hu is too ugly, bullying the villagers to be afraid of the government and the lack of sales channels, wantonly raising the price difference between the folded rice and salt, and directly wanting to swallow the salt farm, the means are too simple and rude.
After the crowd was quiet, this sneer was very harsh, the fat man frowned, and the minions around him rushed over without waiting for him to make a sound, and his fingers almost poked Xia Nan's nose: "Where did you come from, dare to be disrespectful to Master Hu?" ”
Xia Nan started a successful business at a young age, and he was used to it, when was he scolded with his fingers and nose, his heart was on fire, he grabbed the fingers of this minion, and he was struggling in the opposite direction, and the facial features of this person were suddenly distorted, and he shouted loudly: "Broken, broken, broken......"
The fat man squinted at Xia Nan, from Xia Nan's short hair, to the clothes that did not fit in with the people around him, to the unusual tall figure, and finally the watch on his wrist - the delicate shape, the smooth shell, the hands similar to the Western pendulum clock - and his intuition told him that this tall short-haired man was not a native of Qiongzhou, and the utensils on his wrist must be worth a lot. There was also a man next to him who wore similar short hair and was much taller than the villagers.
Xia Nan was also looking at the fat man opposite, and from the name of the villagers, he could know that he was the culprit Hu who plunged the entire Ma Yuan Village into darkness. Although as a time-traveler and an elite of the 21st century, Xia Nan despised the landlord Lao Cai on this remote island in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, but when he returned to reality, he had little way to fight against it.
Summer Nan's brain was in a rapid operation, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
Master Hu didn't give him time to think, pointed his finger, and pointed at Xia Nan: "These two people don't behave like my Ming people, it's really suspicious, they are the spies of the pirates, take them down and see the official!" ”
The villagers didn't know Xia Nan and Lin Weiye, but they understood the meaning of Master Hu's words very well: Master Hu had a relationship with the people of Lingao County, and he was sent to see the official, and how to deal with it was not a matter of his words.
Xia Nan read the ominous information from the sympathetic expressions of the villagers, he turned his head to look at Lin Weiye, his eyes blinked, and conveyed a message to him: Xiucai has met a soldier, what can the brother do? Lin Weiye also winked at him, then looked at the front with a firm gaze, and reached out to take off the backpack from behind his back.
Summer Nan is a little confused, the bread in the backpack is eaten, can two packs of chocolates buy a 17th century bully?
Master Hu waved his hand, and the two entourages around him, together with the guy who had just scolded Xia Nan, rushed towards Xia Nan and Lin Weiye viciously.
Master Hu came to Ma Yuan Village from Jian in a light car this time, just passing by the road, piggybacking on the villagers to instill the concept of selling themselves into slavery to pay off debts, disintegrating the will of the villagers, and paving the way for complete control of the salt works and the villagers, so he only brought three entourage. Although there are few people, it is enough to deal with the villagers who are afraid of things, even if it is the two short hairs in front of him, he doesn't care - two outsiders, who are not familiar with this place, dare to resist him?
Xia Nan hadn't thought about the connection between Chocolate and Master Hu yet, when he saw the three guys rushing over, he flashed the first one lightly, and then stretched out his foot and kicked the second guy and rolled on the ground.
The physical fitness of modern people is not comparable to the general lack of nutrition in ancient times, and Xia Nan has learned taekwondo in his spare time, so it is not a problem to deal with a ruffian-like character. I was about to give the third one a bit, but I heard a "snort", and the third guy had a steel nail inserted in his chest, which was not very deep, leaving only a little tail outside, he reached out to grab the steel nail, but he scratched it a few times in vain, and made a few "ho-ho" sounds in his mouth, shook a few times and fell to the ground.
Xia Nan was stunned and turned his head to look at Lin Weiye, who was holding the steel crossbow that could shoot through iron plates in his hand, and was loading another steel nail, that is, a crossbow arrow, into the crossbow to be fired.
Not only Xia Nan, Master Hu and his friends were stunned, but the villagers' jaws dropped. Master Hu has controlled the salt works for a long time, has money in his hands, keeps his family and thugs, colludes with the county government soap, and is known as a black-and-white character in the countryside of Lingao, never thought that anyone would dare to openly confront him, and dare to kill him in front of him!
After being shocked, Master Hu was extremely angry, and his fat body trembled with anger: "You dare to commit murder in broad daylight, I ......"
There was another "snort", and before he finished speaking, he had a crossbow bolt stuck in his throat, and his eyes were about to bulge, as if he couldn't believe what was happening, and he reached out to pull out the crossbow arrow, but before his hand reached the end of the arrow, he fell down with a bang.
Xia Nan reacted quickly, didn't have time to think about Lin Weiye's behavior, kicked over a guy in front of him who was about to slip away when he saw that the situation was not good, and shouted loudly: "Do you want to go to the ventilation and report the news, and arrest the whole village to the government?" ”
Hearing this, the villagers recovered from their shock, and several young people rushed out of the crowd, punching and kicking the two people lying on the ground, shouting, "Can't you let them report the news......
Xia Nan added: "Yes, otherwise the government will arrest the whole village and punish the crime." ”
The villagers were in a commotion, and the people who had lived at the bottom for a long time had a natural fear of the government, and because they were illiterate and ignorant of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they believed it when they heard Xia Nan's words, coupled with the hatred accumulated for a long time for Master Hu, men, women and children all poured over, you kicked me and I kicked it, and the two poor guys soon died.
Watching the villagers vent their anger, a vague thought came to Xia Nan's mind, and then quickly sketched out a plan. After making up his mind, he shouted: "Folks, listen to me a few words!" ”
When the villagers heard this, they stopped and scattered, and the two poor attendants were lying on the ground in a blur of flesh and blood, and they couldn't survive.
