Chapter Ninety-Eight: Splitting
Jiang Harrier found a more comfortable position on his tiger skin chair, looked coldly at these people standing in front of him, and kept twisting his temples with his fingers, showing a touch of anger on his face, so that these subordinates standing below didn't dare to take a breath, so they froze there.
After a while, Jiang Harrier snorted coldly and scolded: "You pigs, you sincerely want us to be unable to mix here!" If you dare to go to the village without permission, do you still have a big boss like me in your eyes? ”
The guy below had a blue face, but he didn't dare to contradict Jiang Harrier, and after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward to talk and explained: "The big boss is angry, this matter was all done by the brothers and brothers, and I can't complain about them!" It's just that the people in Jinjia Village are too arrogant, and even our people dare to kill, if my brother doesn't punish them, we won't be able to walk in the lake in the future! Otherwise, our reputation will be too weak! So ......"
But before he finished his words, Jiang Harrier, who was sitting comfortably, suddenly burst into shape, grabbed a tea bowl on the case and hit it down, this guy who spoke was caught off guard, and was smashed on the head by the tea bowl on the spot, and suddenly the porcelain pieces flew wildly, and the tea splashed everywhere, and then saw that a bloody hole had been smashed out of his head, and he fell backwards and fell into the crowd standing behind.
Frightened, these guys retreated, and no one dared to step forward to support the beaten guy.
"Zhao Baiyu, Lao Tzu told you, here Lao Tzu has the final say, such a big thing, you didn't even inform me, so you took someone to commit such a big thing, come on, tie this guy to me, and throw it into the lake to feed the fish! Damn! Lao Tzu tells you, let's have the final say here, when to do what to do, what not to do, Lao Tzu has to nod! Jiang Harrier stood up with a hideous face, pointed at these guys and scolded.
After hearing Jiang Harrier's instructions, a few big men came over on both sides, and immediately wiped the shoulders of Zhao Baiyu, who had been broken in head, and tied it with a rope, and was about to push it outside, which immediately frightened this Zhao Baiyu a lot, and immediately cried and howled: "Big brother spare your life!" The younger brother will not dare next time, begging the eldest brother to spare the brother once this time! It's all brothers who are confused for a while, and I hope that my eldest brother will spare his life! Second brother...... Second brother, you also help your brother intercede! ”
At this time, a bearded man sitting on the side coughed, stood up, and said to Jiang Harrier in anger: "Big brother, the third child has done too much in this matter, but this matter can't be blamed on the third child, originally our brother was injured by the people of Jinjia Village, and the third child just took people to seek justice, but I didn't expect that the descendants of their village would dare to copy the guy and kill our people, so the third child will be ruthless, although the third child is at fault in this matter, but he is not guilty to death, In my opinion, he will be punished for it, and he will forget it! It's all my own brothers, so I can't really kill him! I also hope that the eldest brother will give his brother a face! ”
After listening to this person's words, several guys around him also knelt down one after another, pleading for this Zhao Baiyu, Jiang Harrier looked at the person next to him, took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "Since the second master said, then it would be my fault if I didn't save this face for you!" Zhao Baiyu's death crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable! Pull him down and whip him thirty lashes to set an example! Let's see if there are any of us here who dare to disobey orders and act without permission! And the people who participated that day also gave Lao Tzu himself to go out and receive twenty whips, and if you dare to do so, see if Lao Tzu doesn't chop you to feed the fish! Get lost! ”
A few people pushed Zhao Baiyu out of the house, picked up the whip outside, crackled and smoked, and Zhao Baiyu screamed like a pig, and then a group of guys who participated in the slaughter of the village lined up one by one, and were beaten to cry and cry like a slaughterhouse.
"Although we are thieves, but we also have to do things in a little proportion, Lao Tzu has long told you, you rob a boat, rob a rich family, it's nothing, but you can't kill more people, especially not kill many people at once, even if you want to kill, it's on the water, even people with boats to do it, and you have to be clean and neat afterwards! Can't leave the handle! But these bastards are good, they actually ran to the shore to slaughter the village and killed dozens of people overnight! What's the point of going on like this?
After all, this is the world of the Zhao family, and it is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the government will not sit idly by if the crime is big, this time Zhao Baiyu will definitely alarm the government! I'm afraid this time will bring us a lot of trouble, let's all nest during this time, don't fucking go out to find trouble, can't you really let Lao Tzu stop for a few days and live a comfortable life today? After the execution, when the group of people were dragged back and lying on the ground to apologize, Jiang Harrier said to the subordinates in the hall.
"That's what the big boss said! The third child, what you did this time was really too much, if it weren't for your people to molest other people's daughters-in-law, would people be able to beat your people? You still go to find someone to settle accounts, you go in the middle of the night, can people not resist? You're such a pig's brain! Are you convinced? The second master next to him said to Zhao Baiyu, who was beaten, with an expression of hatred that iron is not steel.
Zhao Baiyu grinned in pain at this moment, but he didn't dare to say unconvinced, and nodded again and again.
"Let's get out of here, recuperate these days, don't fucking go out and run around!" The angry Jiang Harrier waved his hand and drove the troublemakers out.
But in the afternoon, a small boat sailed into the island where they were, and soon a man dressed as a fisherman landed on the island, and saw Jiang Harrier, who had just come out of the backyard with a satisfied face, and the cry of a woman came from the house.
"Big boss, something happened, this time the government was really alarmed, Daye County Lieutenant took 200 township warriors and arresters to Jinjia Village, and now he is starting to find our whereabouts! They also offered a reward of 200 yuan, and they want to find us here, but this time I'm afraid they won't be able to get along with us! The person who reported the news immediately reported to Jiang Harrier.
After Jiang Harrier heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled again, and soon the leaders of this gang of thieves gathered in the righteous hall and looked at Jiang Harrier one after another.
That Zhao Baiyu was carried into the hall, and he was hit by Jiang Harrier with a tea bowl head-on, but he suddenly opened a hole in his head, bleeding from his face, and fell on all fours on the spot, and was finally put up, and he didn't even dare to put one more fart on his face in frustration.
"It's all your trouble, it's good now, the government has sent troops! What do I think you bastard do? Damn! I knew this time was going to be bad! As soon as he saw Zhao Baiyu coming in, Jiang Harrier was angry, and once again beat the tea bowl out as a hidden weapon, completely forgetting that the young woman he had enjoyed in the past two days was what Zhao Baiyu snatched back from Jinjia Village!
Several leaders were taken aback when they heard this, thinking that it was the official army coming, and their expressions became nervous.
"This time, it's the county lieutenant of Daye County, who brought some township warriors over, what should everyone do about this?" Jiang Harrier roughly told a few leaders about the matter.
"Cut! It turned out to be just the county lieutenant of Daye County! With 200 townsmen, you want to come and encircle us? I wonder if he's crazy? As soon as they heard that it was just the township Yong of Daye County, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces, so the second master immediately said with a sneer with a look of disdain.
"Yes! It's just about 200 villagers, this Niangzi Lake is so big, it's not enough for them to come over and stuff our teeth! There are nearly 200 of our brethren, one by one, and in this Niangzi Lake, how can we be afraid of their rabble? The big boss doesn't have to worry, if they dare to come, let the brother make meritorious service, as long as he gives the brother a few boats and fifty people, he will definitely be able to make them come and go! After Zhao Baiyu wiped the blood off his forehead, he also breathed a sigh of relief, so he praised Jiang Harrier flatteringly.
Looking at the relaxed faces of his subordinates, Jiang Harrier couldn't help but feel a little angry, these people have been rampant in recent years, and now I heard that it's just the township soldiers from the county government who came over, and they don't take it seriously at all, I really don't know if they are really capable, or Yelang is arrogant.
"Do you think it's going to be that simple?" Jiang Harrier said with a gloomy face.
The leaders below immediately fell dumb again, and they didn't dare to take it upon themselves anymore.
"Big boss, small think, let's not be so nervous! Although this time it alarmed the government, they are just a group of village soldiers, what can they do with us? Such a big Niangzi Lake, they don't say if they can find us, even if they find us, with our brothers' water skills, they can't do anything to us! It's a big deal to kill one by one, and let them see the power of the big masters! A small leader cautiously voiced his opinion.
"Things are not as simple as you think, we can't fight with the government, we are just thieves, and we don't want to rebel, once we fight with the government, we will become thieves, even if we defeat the township soldiers in Daye County, we will eventually invite the government to send an army to encircle and suppress us!" If we get to that point, it's going to be hard for us to stay here any longer! Jiang Harrier shook his head and said, after all, he, a big boss, has a wider vision than ordinary thieves, and said the hidden worries behind the matter.
"Big boss, now we don't need to worry about the government coming to crack down on a big scale for the time being! Now that the Song and Jin countries are at war, it seems that they can't finish the fight in a short time, and I am afraid that it is a big move to send some township soldiers this time! Could it be that they will leave the Jin Army alone and will turn around to deal with us? At this time, someone else spoke his opinion.
"Nonsense! Are you all blind or deaf? Don't you know that Zhao Fang Lao'er beat the Jin army to the ground on Jingxi Road this time? Jin Guo is no longer as powerful as before, I think Jin Guo may not last long on Jingxi Road this time! If we provoke the government, Ezhou is so close to here, we can send a naval army over with a snap of our fingers, and then we will still be the opponent of the Ezhou naval army? It's not that I'm afraid of things, but I have to do things in a measured way! We can rob money, we can kill people! But we can't easily go against the government, otherwise, we won't be able to do it for long! It's life-saving! Jiang Harrier was really a little speechless for these far-sighted subordinates.
"The big boss really has a long-term vision than those of us! I might as well wait for the big boss! So from the perspective of the big bosses, how should this matter be handled? At this time, the second master surnamed Ping began to understand a little, and felt that what Jiang Harrier said was indeed reasonable, compared with their gang, it really seemed that they were too short-sighted, and after his words, the rest of the leaders also slapped loudly.
After listening to everyone's praise, Jiang Harrier finally felt a little more comfortable, and the expression on his face softened a little, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Everyone has been restrained recently, don't go out to find trouble if you have nothing to do!" Now we are not short of money, there is food, drink and women, let's nest for a while, Niangzi Lake is so big, it is not easy for them to find us, let's avoid the limelight for the time being, it is expected that the county lieutenant of Daye County will not be able to spend it here with us all the time, and the cost of using so many township soldiers is not a small number, it is estimated that they will not find us after a while, so they will naturally withdraw! But we also have to keep a hand, send more people around the island every day, don't let them sneak attack, let's talk about it, and pay more attention to the movement on the shore, let the wind go, if anyone dares to betray us, be careful that we go back to him to settle accounts and destroy their whole family! ”
After hearing this, although everyone was quite disapproving, they felt that Jiang Harrier looked very powerful on weekdays, but for this incident, they seemed too timid, but because Jiang Harrier's kung fu was good and there were several powerful subordinates, these people did not dare to object, so they nodded and agreed.
Soon the gang of water thieves died down, settled down in the lake, and did not show up to commit crimes for many days, and Niangzi Lake suddenly became much quieter.
Zhao Baiyu was sitting in his room, and a cronie changed the dressing for the wounds on his head and body, and the pain was so painful that this guy grinned and scolded in a whisper: "Mother! What's the matter, how long has he been here, he doesn't treat Lao Tzu as a person, I think when he came, it was Lao Tzu who brought his brothers to support him, so that he could sit in the position of this big boss, and now he scolds Lao Tzu when he opens his mouth, beats him with his hands, and almost kills Lao Tzu, his grandmother's! ”
This subordinate of his stretched out his head to look at the door, then turned back and echoed him, "That's it! Now the big boss is really excessive, isn't it just killing a few ordinary people? He beat and scolded the third master here, but over there he occupied the girl we snatched back, so he could only play by himself! Mother, it's too unauthentic to do this! If you want me to see it, Yu Qi is so angry, the third master might as well discuss it with the second master, and pull the brothers to turn their faces and pull him down! He's just a dozen of his subordinates, and the rest of the people listen to the second and third masters? If you really turn your face, you won't necessarily be able to kill him! If he continues to do this, sooner or later, we will not die in the hands of the government, but also in the hands of his Jiang Harrier! The third master still has to make a decision on the spot, otherwise, if he makes the first move, we won't have a chance to turn over! ”
Zhao Baiyu was taken aback by the words of his subordinate, and quickly stretched out his neck to look out of the door, and lowered his voice and said, "Shhh Be quiet, damn, if your words reach that guy's ears, we're afraid we won't even know how to die! I can only say this to me, don't go out and talk nonsense! Otherwise, Lao Tzu won't be able to save you! ”
"Of course, little ones know! Speaking of which, he is very powerful, this time as soon as he heard that someone from the government was coming, he was so scared that he wanted to pee his pants, and he followed him, I don't think it is much fun, the third master should think about how to do it earlier! This minion encouraged Zhao Baiyu again.
Zhao Baiyu gritted his teeth, and finally nodded and said, "That's right, I'm going to talk to the second brother about this!" It's just that Jiang Harrier's kung fu is too powerful, and we are not his opponents, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to clean him up! ”
"It's easy to do! Jiang Harrier is good at drinking, and I heard that there is a drunken fairy building in Ezhou that sells immortals who are drunk enough, and they can be very intoxicating when they drink! If you can find a way to get some, with the temper of ginger harrier's good wine, you will definitely be able to get drunk! Then the third master can take advantage of that guy to drink too much, as long as he kills him, as for the few people under him, we rush up, I don't believe we can't solve them! When the time comes, won't this Niangzi Lake be the third master, you have the final say? This minion kept cheering up Zhao Baiyu and giving ideas.
Zhao Baiyu came to his senses when he heard it, he is also a good wine person, and when he heard that there was such a good wine, he immediately asked, "Oh? Immortal drunk? The name sounds like a great deal! It's a way! But these days, the big bosses are not allowed to go out casually, who can get such good wine? ”
This minion patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, the third master of this matter, this matter is on me, I was originally needed to go back and forth to the shore to procure, others don't go ashore, but the small ones can go ashore!" As long as the third master can be ruthless, so that the brothers will not be angry in the future, such a trivial matter will be wrapped up in the little one! ”
Zhao Baiyu stood up violently, walked back and forth in the room, the whip wound on his body was so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was still a little hesitant, but in the end, when he touched the strip of cloth bandaged on his head, he suddenly rose from the edge of his guts, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! That's it! I'm going to find the second master! Ma San, you try to get some good wine back for me, after the matter is completed, I can't lose you! ”
This Ma San immediately nodded in agreement, showing a happy face.
Zhao Baiyu went out overnight, all the way to the residence of Ping Er's family, and after seeing that there was no one nearby, he dodged into the house and got used to the door from the inside.
When it was almost dawn, Zhao Baiyu slipped out of his residence surnamed Ping and returned to his residence, and after dawn, Ma San got on a fishing boat and left the island in the middle of the lake and rowed to the shore.
