Today is the twenty-fifth day since Ye Zheng came to this strange world. After twenty days of medication, Gu Chen’s condition seems to have improved almost. As long as he continues to take the herbal medicine for about ten days according to the doctor’s instructions, it is estimated that
Her condition will completely improve.
On this day, as usual, Ye Zheng went hunting with his brothers Big Tiger and Little Tiger after breakfast. Because Ye Zheng did not invite the villagers to join him today, only the three of them entered the mountain this time.
The three of them carried the necessary items for hunting as usual and walked leisurely towards the back mountain. At this time, Ye Zheng suddenly saw a strange-looking man at the end of the village stumbling into Niujia Village.
He was about thirty, tall and strong, but his clothes were in tatters, covered in blood, and he was in an unusual mess. Suddenly, Ye Zheng felt very strange and couldn't figure out who this big man was and why he wanted to do it after being injured.
Run to Niujia Village.
Just when Ye Zheng was wondering, he suddenly saw Dahu beside him and exclaimed: "Hey! Isn't that brother Tiezhu? Hasn't he been doing business outside? How could he be so seriously injured?"
"Brother Tiezhu?" Ye Zheng was even more puzzled and asked Dahu: "Do you know him?"
Dahu nodded and said with great envy: "He is the brother of Niu Sanyan in our village. He is very capable in our village. There are so many people in our village, but Brother Tiezhu is the only one who does business outside and makes a lot of money."
It's a small amount of money. I heard that he knows a lot of words, has learned some martial arts, and is a good man. Moreover, he also bought two large houses outside and married a beautiful wife. When he returns to the village this time, he should be
Let’s visit Brother Sanyan and Uncle Niu.”
Hearing what Dahu said, Ye Zheng became even more confused and thought to himself; since he has learned martial arts and is still doing business outside, there is no reason why he would be so seriously injured? What makes him even more puzzled is that seeing
When Niu Tiezhu entered the village, his expression was flustered, his steps were hurried, and his wife was not around. He didn't look like someone who was visiting relatives, so there must be something wrong with it.
At this time, Xiaohu suddenly said: "Brother, look at Brother Tiezhu being so seriously injured. Let's go over and help him go home."
Dahu nodded after hearing this, and when he and Xiaohu were about to go over to help, they suddenly heard a dog barking from Niu Sanyan's yard. Then, they saw Niu Sanyan running out with a nervous expression.
When I came out, I saw the injured Niu Tiezhu in the distance, and I was immediately surprised. I saw him running quickly to Niu Tiezhu, and helped him back to the house quickly.
Seeing Niu Tiezhu being helped back to the house by Niu Sanyan, Big Tiger and Little Tiger secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they felt a little strange in their hearts, they didn't think too much. They turned to Ye Zheng and said, "Brother Ye, let's go into the mountain.
"
Ye Zheng didn't say anything, just nodded and followed them into the mountain.
The three of them wandered around the mountains for a long time, and after hunting two roe deer, they were ready to go back to the village.
On the way back to the village, Ye Zheng's left eyelid kept twitching, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. It always felt strange, and he couldn't explain the reason. Anyway, it made people very uncomfortable. Along the way, Ye Zheng felt a little uneasy.
Absent-mindedly, even when brother Big Tiger and Little Tiger talked to him, he dealt with it casually, which made the two brothers think that Ye Zheng might have been away from his hometown for too long and missed his relatives. Suddenly, the two of them were confused.
My brother was too embarrassed to continue bothering him.
Ye Zheng and the others had just come out of the back mountain and looked in the direction of Niujia Village. Suddenly, the expressions of the three of them changed drastically. From a distance, the three of them saw that the entire Niujia Village was shrouded in fire. Chickens were flying in Niujia Village.
Dogs barked and smoke billowed.
Terrified, the three of them ran wildly and rushed straight towards Niujia Village. At this time, the three of them were filled with horror and shock, and they did not understand what was happening in Niujia Village at this time.
Soon, the three of them entered the village while running wildly. After entering the village, they found that the village was empty. The doors and windows of every house were broken, fires were burning, and there was a mess everywhere. Seeing this
At this scene, Ye Zheng and Big Tiger and Little Tiger took a deep breath, feeling extremely worried. The three of them were shouting around and running anxiously towards their homes. When they ran to the door of their homes, they saw that their homes were already in a sea of flames.
People shouted at Aunt Chen at the door, but got no response.
Where has Chen Gu gone? Where have all the people in Niujia Village gone? Why did the entire Niujia Village undergo such a huge change in just half a day? The three of them were full of panic and doubts at this time. They were at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.
What to do.
"Mom, where are you? What is going on?" Big Tiger and Little Tiger screamed in agony, kneeling on the ground in pain, tears welling up in their eyes.
At this time, Chen Gu was missing, and the whole village was in chaos. Ye Zheng was in a mess, frightened and anxious. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a big change. He suddenly felt short of breath and his legs were shaking constantly.
He couldn't stand still. Suddenly, Ye Zheng seemed to have thought of something. He clearly remembered that before going into the mountains to hunt in the morning, Niu Sanyan's brother was covered with wounds and rushed into Niujia Village in a hurry. At that time, he felt very
It's strange. Could it be that all of this has something to do with him?
Thinking of this, he wanted to tell his doubts to brothers Big Tiger and Little Tiger to see if they could get some clues.
"Big Tiger and Little Tiger, Brother Ye, are you guys?..." At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind them in a low and alert tone.
When the three of them heard someone calling them, they were immediately shocked. They hurriedly looked back and found that the person was actually Niu Sanyan, known as the "Nujia Village's best marksman". At this time, Niu Sanyan was hiding carefully in a field.
In the bamboo forest, they kept waving to Ye Zheng and others, with very nervous expressions on their faces.
At that moment, Ye Zheng, Da Hu and Xiao Hu quickly ran towards Niu Sanyan, wanting to find out what was going on with him.
Arriving in the bamboo forest, Niu Sanyan didn't wait for Ye Zheng and the others to ask. His eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth sadly and said: "Just now, people from the government came to our Niujia Village. Everything in front of them is the Qingshan Town Guards Station."
The officers and soldiers did it.”
Dahu and Xiaohu were stunned after hearing this, and asked eagerly: "Where is my mother? And where are the blind dates in the village? Where have they gone?"
"Your mother, my father and eldest brother, as well as the villagers, were all taken away by the gang of officers and bandits from the guard station." Niu Sanyan said this excitedly, with a very sad and angry look on his face.
The fists were clenched so hard that the nails were inserted into the palms of the hands.
Hearing that Aunt Chen and the villagers had been taken away by officers and soldiers, Big Tiger and Little Tiger were stunned on the spot. It took them a long while before the two brothers came to their senses.
Suddenly, Xiaohu roared angrily. "I'm going to save my mother. My mother has not committed any crime. Why should the officers and soldiers arrest her? I'm going to argue with them and ask them to let her go!" After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react,
He turned around and ran outside with great strides.
When Niu San saw it, he hurriedly rushed up, grabbed Xiaohu tightly, and shouted loudly: "If you go now, you will throw yourself into a trap. Not only will you not be able to save your mother, you will even get caught in it yourself!"
While struggling, Xiaohu cursed angrily: "Fart! I don't believe there is no royal law in this world? We have not violated the royal law, so why should the government arrest us? Let me go quickly, I am going to save my mother!..."
When Niu Sanyan heard this, he became furious, shouted loudly, and shouted: "Why do the officers and soldiers arrest people? It's because they are soldiers and we are the people! If you are still stubborn like me, believe it or not, I will beat you up!"
When Ye Zheng heard this, he realized that there was a hidden meaning in Niu Sanyan's words. He immediately pulled Dahu forward to persuade Xiaohu, asking him not to be so impulsive. After understanding the situation, it would not be too late to make a decision. Xiaohu started struggling and shouting.
He couldn't stand it and insisted on saving Aunt Chen. Later, Ye Zheng said that after he understood what happened first and understood everything, he not only would not stop him, but would also go with him to rescue the villagers and Aunt Chen. Listen.
When Ye Zheng said this, Xiaohu stopped struggling and slowly calmed down.
After Ye Zheng and Dahu pulled Xiaohu up, the three of them went into the bamboo forest and asked Niu Sanyan about everything that had just happened in Niujia Village. The cause and effect of the whole thing was just as Ye Zheng guessed, and that Niu Sanyan
There is some connection with Niu Tiezhu, Sanyan's older brother.
It turns out that what happened is like this, Niu Tiezhu and others have been opening the Niujia Tavern in Qingshan Town, because this person has a generous and righteous nature, and the food and wine are generous and reasonably priced, especially the game in his tavern.
Qingshan Town Yijue, like many traffickers and outlaws traveling from north to south, would choose to stay and eat in his tavern. Therefore, the business of his tavern has been very prosperous over the years. However, the good times did not last long.
Last night, his tavern attracted a notorious evil star.
The evil star who caused the trouble was called Gongsun Lang, and he was the only son of Gongsun Chang, the lord of Qingshan Town. Since this son was acquired by Gongsun Chang in his middle age, he seemed to be particularly doted on him. Therefore, Gongsun Lang had developed an arrogant and domineering character since he was a child.
, now less than 20 years old, he is doing evil in Qingshan Town and is a fishy neighbor, especially his lustful temper. I don’t know how many good girls in Qingshan Town have been ruined, and I don’t know how many girls have died after being humiliated.
He chose to commit suicide to redress his grievances, but it was useless because his father was the mayor of Qingshan Town and the local emperor here. With this support, Gongsun Lang became more unscrupulous and indulgent in recent years, which angered the local people.
The people were so angry that they dared not speak out.
That night, Gongsun Lang and a few thugs passed by Niu's Tavern after drinking wine. They accidentally saw Niu Tiezhu's wife Xu Xianzhi. He was immediately fascinated by her beauty and burned himself to death, and became lustful.
Immediately, he led his thugs into the tavern, drove away all the drinkers inside, and then forced the Niu lady, who was pale with fright, on the wine table, intending to do that beastly thing. At such a critical moment,
Niu Tiezhu suddenly returned from outside and was shocked when he heard his wife crying for help in the house! In a rage, he broke in the door angrily, knocked down several thugs who came to stop him, grabbed Gongsun Lang and beat the beast violently
, because he was worried about Gongsun Lang's background and identity, he did not injure his vitals severely. He just gave him a burst of physical pain and then threw these beasts out of the tavern. Before leaving, Gongsun Lang had a look on his face.
Looking at Niu Tiezhu bitterly, he sneered: "Sooner or later, you will know my methods..."
After beating Gongsun Lang, Niu Tiezhu knew that he had caused a big disaster. With the character of Gongsun Dandy, he would definitely not let it go. After appeasing his wife, he prepared a heavy sum of money and prepared to pay homage to him.
, see if he can settle this matter, because if he, Niu Tiezhu, wants to survive and do business in Qingshan Town, he must settle this matter. Otherwise, not only will his tavern suffer, but even his own relatives and children will be implicated.
However, he wanted to settle the matter, but Gongsun Lang refused. That night Gongsun Lang led dozens of thugs and slaves, surrounded Niu Tiezhu's tavern, and set fire to and smashed it.
When Niu Tiezhu encountered this great change, he immediately asked his wife to hold the baby and ride on his only horse to escape back to her parents' home. He took a wooden stick and killed the general from the backyard, covering her mother and son's escape at night. From the backyard
During the breakout, due to the large number of opponents, although he had some boxing and kicking skills, he was still unable to defeat the four-handed opponent with two fists. Fortunately, the night was dark and moonless, and he took advantage of the chaos to break out of the siege and fled in the opposite direction of his wife.
Go, intending to attract the attention of Gongsun Lang and others. Along the way, the two sides chased and fled. Niu Tiezhu suffered a lot of injuries, and Gongsun Lang also had a hard time. His arm was broken by a stick and he screamed.
Amidst the sound, all the evil slaves stepped forward to treat the injuries, fearing that something might happen to their young master, so Niu Tiezhu escaped Gongsun Lang's pursuit and fled back to Niujia Village overnight.
(Note: During the Great Lie Dynasty, the total population of a town was about 3,000 households and about 15,000 people. There was a town leader in the town government who was responsible for coordinating all government affairs and public security and criminal issues in the area. In addition, under the town leader
There is also a chief of security, who is responsible for fifty guards and is responsible for public security issues and criminal disputes within the jurisdiction)
When Sun Chang, the lord of Qingshan Town, learned that his precious only son had his arm broken, he was furious. He immediately ordered his brother-in-law, who was the chief of the guard at the town guard station, to lead all the officers and soldiers in the guard station to hunt down the injured son.
The ox Tiezhu who owned the ox Tiezhu must be cut into thousands of pieces to vent his hatred. Gongsun Chang had a master under his command, nicknamed Huang Mouse Jing.
, he was the one who came up with some sinister ideas behind the scenes to help cover up and fool him, and he was quite hateful. This time when he heard that the mayor was going to arrest Niu Tiezhu, he rolled his eyes and gave Gongsun a very sinister figure.
Note, it is said that Niu Tiezhu injured the young master this time because the young master had insulted his wife first. If he is convicted for this, I am afraid that the master will be unknown and difficult to convince the public. If you want to arrest him in a fair and just way, why not give him a
He was accused of colluding with bandits and murdering his neighbors. In this way, we could capture and kill him alive in the name of sending troops to suppress the bandits.
When Chang Gongsun heard this, he nodded in praise. However, since he was sending out troops to suppress bandits, it was definitely not enough to arrest Niu Tiezhu alone. He also wanted to arrest and imprison all the people in Niujia Village. Originally, in the past few years, their area
, the banditry has become so serious that even the superiors in Zhoucheng know about it. If I don’t catch a few bandits and explain to my superiors, I guess I will lose my promotion next year. Therefore, this time it comes at the right time.
Not only did he want to arrest Niu Tiezhu to avenge his son, but he also wanted to arrest and imprison all the villagers in Niujia Village as bandits. Anyway, Niujia Village was located at the foot of a deep mountain with not many people and it was also located in a remote place.
What reassured him the most was that almost all the people in Niujia Village were not locals. They all seemed to have fled from other places a long time ago. Such a small village was the least likely to recruit people if they were charged with being bandits.
Suspicious, and I heard that almost all Niujia Village is a hunter. It is not easy to find some bows and arrows in the village. In this way, it would be more reasonable to accuse them of bandits.
Well, anyway, as long as the hands and feet of our people are clean and leave no clues, we will definitely be able to get people to investigate. Even if someone wants to overturn the case for Niujiacun, it will be difficult to succeed.
So, after Gongsun Chang and Director Wei secretly discussed the plan, early the next morning, Director Wei led fifty guards to go to Niujia Village to arrest the bandits, so later Ye Zheng and the others
