Chapter 248 Pretending to mediate and really framing
Shi Jin had a small talk with Lei Heng and Zhu Tong, but due to mutual suspicion, everyone did not chat very happily. Everyone was worried, and they could not talk for more than a few words. Only Lei Heng stayed in the middle to avoid it. Cold scene.
Zhu Tong drank another cup of tea. He really didn't want to spend it here, so he put down the tea cup and said politely: "Young Master Wang, it's getting late, and business is not urgent, but it has to be done after all. No matter how late it is, It will be hard for us to explain this to the superiors."
When Shi Jin heard that Zhu Tong was leaving, he was overjoyed. There was no news from the two of them, but Shi Qian was there, and now Shi Jin had been longing for them to leave quickly so that he could go upstairs to meet Shi Qian. , so he said politely: "Brother Zhu is busy with something, and I can't keep him, so let's meet again someday."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lei Heng also bowed his hand, said goodbye to Shi Jin, and left with Zhu Tong.
Shi Jin watched the two of them leave, then hurriedly went upstairs. With a glance, Shi Qian was sitting in a corner, waiting anxiously for Shi Jin. When the two of them met, Shi Qian was about to go to the county government office. I told Shi Jin everything he said, and Shi Jin felt relieved.
However, just as Shi Jin and Shi Qian were discussing in depth how to use the mentality of the government to their advantage, a pair of eyes had quietly appeared at the entrance of the teahouse stairs.
Seeing the two people spying there, Zhu Tong snorted coldly, becoming more and more convinced.
[Yuncheng County·Shijie Village]
Chao Gai and his eldest brother led everyone in the Chao family back to the village, closed the courtyard door, and the two brothers sat in the lobby.
Chao Jidao was obviously still angry. He thought about the things in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved and the anger in his heart became stronger. It was so big that he couldn't sit still in his chair, so he slapped the table and stood up. He scolded everyone in the Zang family, but he still felt angry. At this moment, he was thinking of digging up the ancestral graves of the Zang family.
Chao Gai saw his eldest brother's impatience, so he gently advised: "Brother, sit down and drink a cup of tea first to calm down your anger."
"Drink, drink, drink, how can you tell me how to drink," Chao Jidao said angrily: "That bastard Zang is no longer a petty quarrel. Today he dared to rob our grain truck in broad daylight. He has almost put his knife to the point. It's coming to our necks. If that dog officer hadn't opened his eyes today, you and I would never have come back alive." When Chao Jidao said this, he paused, clenched his fists and said, "No, we can't just let it go, he dares to rob our food. , I dare to take his life,"
Before Chao Gai could stop him, Chao Jidao stood in front of the lobby and shouted: "Come here, take this guy with you to Zang's house. Let's set a fire and burn down the Zang's bird's nest."
When the disciples waiting outside heard this, they immediately became energetic and hurriedly went down to convey the message. Originally, they had come back disappointed today and had suffered a loss from the Zang family. Each of the disciples felt a sigh of relief in their hearts. Now Chao Jidao is like this As soon as they announced that this was great, it was exactly what they wanted, and they were all ready to avenge the humiliation of that day.
When Chao Gai saw that his eldest brother was acting like this again, he immediately grabbed his eldest brother and said, "Brother, this matter cannot be rushed."
"It's not urgent. People are trying to kill us time and time again. How can we be cowardly," Chao Ji said.
"Zang Hanzhong is a very scheming guy. We have already suffered a loss today. We can't act so recklessly anymore. I went to jail because of my temporary flamboyance. Brother, I have to take this as a warning." Chao Gai didn't want to tell today's story I used things as an example, but I was afraid of hurting my brother's heart, so I brought out my own things, hoping that he could realize something.
"Chao Gai, I have made you timid since you came out of prison. Why are you even more afraid when you come back today?" Chao Jidao said to Chao Gai: "If you hadn't stopped me this morning and delayed me, Time, I have beaten them down long ago, so I don’t have to wait for the government to come and suffer the humiliation,"
"Brother, now that things have happened, have you ever thought about it carefully? The fact that Zang Hanzhong dared to attack me in prison means that he has people in the government. The Zang family is not simple now."
"You are afraid, but I am not afraid," Chao Jidao took the Pu Dao in his hand and said firmly as if he had made up his mind: "If I don't bring down Zang Hanzhong, I will be sorry to my ancestors."
"Brother, please listen to me slowly. We want to fight with the Zang family. However, right now, we don't have enough physical strength, so we may not be able to defeat him. We have to recruit troops. When the power grows stronger and our fists become stronger, we can kill him. ,"
"I don't believe you can just boast of others' prestige. With all my experience in the past few years, I still can't beat him Zang Hanzhong. If you don't dare to go, I'll go," Chao Jidao said and started to walk out.
When Chao Gai saw it, he couldn't persuade his eldest brother anymore. Outside the lobby, the disciples had also prepared their disciples and were waiting outside aggressively. Chao Gai immediately blocked the door and said: "Brother, you can't go."
"Get out of my way," Chao Jidao saw that Chao Gai had blocked the way in the morning and now blocked him again. The unknown fire in his heart suddenly rose. He pulled out half of the knife and held it in front of his chest, shouting: "Chaojiazhuang ,I am the eldest brother,"
"Just because you are the eldest brother, I can't let you get into this trouble." Chao Gai straightened his body, closed his eyes, and said, "Unless you kill me with a knife today, don't worry. Out of this door,"
Chao Jidao gritted his teeth, and the hand holding the handle of the knife began to tremble. He snorted hard, put the knife back into the sheath, turned around, and sat down on the chair angrily.
Chao Gai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed him, saying kindly: "Young Master Wang went to inquire about the news. I can't tell you. He will be back soon. Let's make plans together. Since we want to kill the Zang family, we must be ruthless." Uproot him ruthlessly, otherwise he will have the power to stand up,"
Chao Jidao glanced at Chao Gai and said nothing. He just nodded and barely answered.
Just when Chao Gai poured a cup of tea and delivered it to his elder brother, a disciple from outside ran in and said, "Uncle, it's not good, people from the Zang family are coming towards us."
"From the Zang family, you read that right," Chao Gai asked the boy.
"That's right. What you saw is absolutely true. A large group of people from the Zang family are coming to our village, and they all have guys in their hands," the boy reported again in detail.
"The person who came here is not a good person..." Chao Gai muttered in his heart, now he was in a bit of trouble.
"Look, what am I talking about? The Zang family bullies people too much. If you don't give him some color, they will think you are a coward." Chao Ji was furious and said angrily: "I said to go to the Huang family to deal with him. , you don’t let me, what now, someone comes to my door, oh, I mean, second brother, you are really,” At this point, Chao Jidao was so angry that he couldn’t continue.
Chao Jidao took two steps outside. Just as all the disciples were gathered here, Chao Jidao said seriously: "If his Zang family dares to come to our door and make noise today, we will never let him come back."
Chao Gai was originally afraid that his eldest brother would cause some trouble due to his recklessness, but this time the Zang family pressed forward step by step. It seemed that it was premeditated. At this moment, no matter how patient Chao Gai was, he couldn't help it. , before Chao Jidao could step out the door, he caught up with him in a few steps and rushed out of the door of his house in one stride.
At this time, the people of the Zang family also drove to the door of the Chao family in a mighty manner. A group of more than 20 people lined up in a dense and dark line. When Chao Jidao and the people of the Chao family rushed out, they followed the door. The terrain formed a formation, and the Zang family's array made way for Zang Ao to walk to the front, stood swaggeringly, and looked at the Chao family's manor with an awesome and coaxing look. .
"Hey, what are you doing? You guys, get away from me," Chao Jidao said, pointing his sword directly at Zang Ao without taking it out of its sheath, without showing the slightest hint of politeness.
Zang Ao pretended not to care and still looked at the door in front of him casually, not paying attention to Chao Jidao at all.
"Zang Ao, what are you looking at?" Chao Gai scolded Zang Ao.
No matter how calm Zang Ao was when he was scolded by name, he still had to pay attention to Chao Gai. So, Zang Ao raised his face to the sky and said provocatively: "What's going on, what's going on, Chao Gai, you have no business." It's too wide. If you don't let me in, why don't you let me see my future house?"
"Fart," Chao Jidao scolded angrily: "You beast, open your eyes and look at what's written on it. Quickly clamp your beak and get away from me."
"Oh, tell me to get lost, what a joke," Zang Ao became more and more angry and provoked even more excessively, saying: "You can still take care of the things inside the wall, but outside the gate, you still don't allow me to stand on a Standing." As he spoke, Zang Ao deliberately shook his head, looked at the plaque on the door of Chao's house, and said, "The more I look at it, the more it looks like it says 'Zang Zhai'. Do you think so?" Zang Ao turned around. Ask the subordinates around you.
"Yes," everyone in the Zang family responded in unison, and the combined voices were like thunder on the ground.
"You little bastard, you're going too far. I haven't settled the matter with you in the morning, but you're here in the afternoon. This is what you asked for..."
Before Chao Jidao could finish speaking, Zang Ao interrupted him as if to add fuel to the fire: "What the hell can you do to me, and you don't even open your dog eyes to see it? It's different now. This My Zang family is the only one in Yuncheng County, and this time alone my family has recruited three times more disciples. Two against one, can your Chao family handle it?"
This naked provocation was a provocation after all. Chao Gai looked at Zang Ao's menacing appearance, and it was not for showing off his power. To put it bluntly, he was going to fight after all, so Chao Gai stood up and pulled out his two sleeves. As soon as he picked it up, he waved his hand towards Zang Ao and said: "It's useless to talk for a long time, let's do it."
Zang Ao looked at Chao Gai's posture, snorted coldly, waved his hands forward vigorously, and shouted: "Come on, I will smash their Chao family,"
As soon as this sound was heard, the disciples of the Zang family rushed toward the gate of the Chao family like a tide. The enemy was extremely jealous when they saw him. After the humiliation in the morning, the guest was full of revenge at this moment, and his attacks became more vicious.
Chao Gai punched the person in front of him, causing his nose to bleed, and he fell to the ground with a thump. With the swift and fierce momentum of this attack, Chao Gai beat the disciples of the Zang family to pieces with three punches and two kicks. He fell, and like a solid shield, he weakened the Zang family's attack in front of the steps of the Chao family's gate. In this way, the two groups fought together, fighting. The scene was very intense, but it didn't take long for the advantages of the Zang family's tactics to be highlighted. Although Chao Gai was powerful, the Chao family disciples around him were surrounded by enemies on three sides. After a long fight, they really couldn't hold on.
"Brother, you lead the brothers to retreat through the door first. I can't resist it. Slow down and let's go all out and kill him again." Chao Gai hit him all the way, until he reached the side of his eldest brother Chao Jidao. He said to his elder brother quickly.
However, how could Chao Jidao's bull-tempered man agree? He kicked one of them over and shouted: "I will fight them to the end today."
Chao Gai couldn't defeat him, so he had no choice but to use all his strength to deal with the Zang family's siege from all sides.
Just when the fight between the two families was getting bloody and bloody, a "stop" sound exploded in the air like a tiger's roar. Just when everyone hesitated for a moment, two people swept in from the middle like a whirlwind and swept them away. The family members pushed each other away one by one, and suddenly, like a sharp knife, the two families were cut into two sides.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Tong opened his big eyes and said to the Zang family: "What a grand pomp."
Just as Zang Ao was about to speak, Lei Heng interrupted him sharply and said, "The county magistrate is just about to recruit your two families. If you have anything to say, please leave it to the Yamen."
Zang Ao was scolded by both of them, and felt very unhappy. He didn't take these officials seriously at all. If his father hadn't told him first, how could he buy their face now? If you say stop, just stop. Where should I put my face? Zang Ao cursed the two guards secretly in his heart and thought to himself: When the Chao family is destroyed, you two will definitely look good. Thinking of this, Zang Ao snorted and shook his face. Then he took everyone away.
Chao Gai thanked Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, and followed his eldest brother Chao Jidao to the county government office. The Chao family was framed last time, and the Chao family couldn't explain why. But now the situation has changed, and they finally caught the reason for the Zang family's trouble. , This principle must be evaluated, Chao Gai thought in his heart, and he took this step more firmly,
