Chapter 51 Temple Fair Gunshots
On the twentieth day of the second lunar month, the weather was fine and the wind was gentle.
The annual temple fair is grandly held here today.
Whether it is to be named on the gold medal list or to have a baby early, people will come here to make a wish or fulfill their wish on this day.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going on the street, which was very lively.
At that time, there will be opera singers, drummers, performers, gun players, stick players, and all kinds of small traders and hawkers.
According to the practice in previous years, Feng Delin, as the largest Aozi and the local patron saint, had to speak in public at the temple fair.
Now, the deputy head of the village, Wang Xiong, is in charge of the internal and external affairs of the village. He is well-known and no one dares to offend him. Therefore, Feng Delin will leave this public appearance to him. At that time, he will accompany Wang Xiong to attend the temple fair and
He took a seat in front of the stage, but he did not speak. Instead, Wang Xiong gave a speech on behalf of Shanzhai.
Around nine o'clock in the morning.
Wang Xiong rode a tall horse and was accompanied by fifty personal guards. He was in high spirits and walked slowly into the street with Feng Delin and walked towards the front desk.
Wang Xiong was in a very happy mood today, but when he was going out in the morning, Di Bei grabbed his reins and refused to let him go, saying, "Zhai leader, you can't go to the temple fair."
"Why?" Wang Xiong asked a little unhappy.
"I always feel that that place is too messy. Now is an extraordinary period. I'm afraid someone will do something bad to you." Dibei said.
"Who dares to do anything against me?" Wang Xiong said, "It's just to attend a temple fair and say a few words. It won't last too long. Besides, let's bring more personal guards there. Who dares to do anything to me?
?”
"Master of the village, I'm still a little worried," Di Bei said. "A dragon leaves the sea, and a tiger falls in the sun. Once you leave the village, you may be in great risk."
"Brother, are you being a bit alarmist? If I don't even dare to go to a temple fair, then what's the point of being a village leader?" Wang Xiong said, "I still think Xiang Yu has a good saying, saying
When you get rich, you have to return to your hometown in fine clothes. Otherwise, it will be like walking at night in fine clothes, who will know? And this temple fair is my opportunity to show my face, how can I miss it? "
"If you insist on going, then bring more people there." Dibei said.
"Then the leader of the village has gone with his men?" Wang Xiong asked.
"No, he didn't bring anyone with him."
"Then it's over. The leader of the stronghold didn't bring any personal soldiers. I already brought fifty personal guards. What else can I do?" Wang Xiong said, "We can't appear too timid. Besides, I have brought fifty personal guards.
, I have always made trouble for others, if I don’t make trouble for others, then who would dare to make trouble for us?”
"Have you forgotten about Little Pepper? Aren't you afraid that the leader of the village will cause trouble for you?"
"Even if he wants to cause trouble for me, as you just said, he doesn't have any of his subordinates. What can he do to me as a failed scholar?"
"Fortress leader, even if you say this, you can't be careless."
"You worry too much!" Wang Xiong didn't listen to Di Bei's words. He mounted his tall horse and led his personal guards to the direction of the temple fair.
Feng Delin and Wang Xiong walked side by side, talking and laughing, and seemed very affectionate.
"Master Wang, since you came to the mountain stronghold, the local people have almost never been harassed by the Mongolian bandits. From this perspective, Master Wang has contributed a lot," Feng Delin said.
"Master of the Dazhai, you are very grateful. You are the master of the Dazhai. I am under your leadership. Even if I achieve some achievements, it will be a great blessing for the master of the Dazhai. I have led well."
"Well, good, we are indeed good brothers." Feng Delin said with a laugh.
While talking, the two of them came to the stage, dismounted their horses, and took their seats in the middle of the first row, while a big opera was being sung on the stage, and the song was "Zhang Fei's Power Shocks Dangyang Bridge".
The audience was crowded with theatergoers.
Among the crowd, there was a person who was also watching the show with concentration. This person was none other than the captain of the guard, Zhao Wenyuan.
He received a secret order from Feng Delin to come to participate in today's temple fair, but he saw him disguised as a woodcutter, carrying a basket with some firewood in it, and wearing a broken hat on his head.
Looking carefully, no one can tell that he is actually Feng Delin's guard captain.
Zhao Wenyuan is not only a theater fan, he is also a book lover. As soon as he watches a theater or listens to a book, he forgets everything.
After this play ended, "Zhao Zilong vs. Changbanpo" followed immediately, which was also particularly exciting.
Zhao Wenyuan was fascinated by what he heard and completely forgot about the tasks assigned to him by Feng Delin.
After the play was over, the storyteller switched to Dagu Shu again. The most famous storyteller in the area was a blind man named Sun Tonggu. His voice was loud and sonorous. The book was so good that he became famous far and wide.
Someone brought Mr. Sun's drum up and set it up.
Mr. Sun slowly walked onto the stage, and there was thunderous applause from the audience.
He cleared his voice, and then began to read the Dagu book "Generals of the Yang Family".
Zhao Wenyuan was so intoxicated that he forgot everything.
After finishing this paragraph, it was Wang Xiong's turn to speak. He took out the manuscript he had prepared in advance and read loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am honored to be able to meet you here today. I am very happy! Protect the local people.
, It is our duty in Qingfeng Village to prevent harassment by Mongolian bandits. Please rest assured that our Qingfeng Village will further protect everyone under the leadership of Feng Delin, the leader of the village————"
However, when Wang Xiong was about to finish reading his speech and was about to leave the stage, there was no movement from the audience.
Feng Delin was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
"Zhao Er is stupid!" In desperation, Feng Delin stood up, turned around and shouted to the back.
"Here!" Zhao Wenyuan was about two hundred meters away. When Old Feng called him, he responded habitually.
Just now, he was still immersed in the story told by Mr. Sun, and then he woke up like a dream and remembered the task that Old Feng had given him.
"If you haven't taken action yet, why are you still standing there?" Feng Delin said.
"Yes!" At this time, he skillfully took out a long spear from his backpack and aimed it at Wang Xiong on the stage.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, hitting Wang Xiong in the head. Wang Xiong didn't say a word. He fell down and was killed on the spot.
The scene immediately became chaotic.
It only took a few seconds before and after the incident. This sudden change did not allow the fifty personal guards led by Wang Xiong to react in time. When they heard the gunshot, they quickly came over to maintain order at the scene and found that Wang Xiong was dead.
It's too late.
"Brothers, Wang Xiong has done many evil things and repeatedly violated gang rules. Now I have cleared him out of the family. It has nothing to do with you. As long as you put down your weapons, do your job well, and let bygones be bygones." Feng Delin stepped on the stage and said loudly.
As soon as the guards saw that Wang Xiong was dead, Daheng Commander Feng Delin had already spoken. Zhao Wenyuan, the sharpshooter guard captain, was standing next to Feng Delin, holding a gun in his hand, with a tigerish face and staring eyes. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Usually, it is just said that his marksmanship is fast and accurate, but today I finally saw it.
Anyway, we work with whomever we work with, and we work with whomever we work with just to eat. Everyone knows in their hearts that this village belongs to Lao Feng.
A few leaders put down their guns, so everyone put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and expressed their stance: "We are willing to obey the orders of the leader of the Feng Village and follow the command of the leader of the Feng Village."
