Shi Jin moved a bench and sat on the spot in the courtyard. But as soon as his butt touched the bench, he suddenly remembered something. He pointed at the stunned water buyers over there, and they were shocked.
A tremor.
Those people were extremely frightened. They had just seen Jin Jiaoban asking questions about killing people. Now they were afraid that Shi Jin was idle and asked them questions to make them happy.
Just when they were uneasy, Shi Jin shouted loudly: "Keep fetching water!"
When the people heard this, they were all stunned. They were afraid that they had heard the wrong words, and no one dared to step forward.
Seeing that there was no movement among the people, Shi Jin waved his hand and asked the brothers from Shaohua Mountain to go over and help them fetch water. When buckets of sweet well water came up and were handed to their hands, everyone came to their senses and started again.
They lined up and took money to buy water. But what they didn't expect was that these legendary strong men from Shaohua Mountain not only refused to accept money, but also asked people to go back and call everyone in the city to come. Now
It made everyone happy, cheering and applauding, and the atmosphere suddenly became alive, comparable to the joy of the New Year!
Everyone was happy, but Confucius was having a hard time. Not only had his way of making money been ruined, but Huang Erlang was tortured like this. He was thinking in his heart, and he was filled with rage.
At this moment, Huang Erlang appeared in front of Kong Ru again with a vicious face, baring his bright yellow teeth, and shouted at him: "Kong Ru, you are so crazy with me again, I don't think you are still crazy now! Don't you want to
Wang Fa, come here, I'll give you Wang Fa!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand, took the pepper water from the thug, and said viciously: "Wang Fa is in my hand, tell me, where is the food and grass?
"
Kong Ru stared at Huang Erlang with his big eyes, as if his vicious eyes could pierce his internal organs.
Huang Erlang didn't say anything when he saw Kong Ru, he just stared at him mercilessly, and his heart was frightened by the resentful eyes. So Huang Erlang squeezed open Kong Ru's mouth with one hand, and smashed it with the other.
The hot pepper water was poured into it, and he kept cursing.
How could Kong Ru endure this? His ribs had been broken by Huang Erlang's kick and he was already in agony. Now he drank the hot pepper water again, making his mouth blistered. Not to mention, it went down his throat.
, it choked him with burning pain, as if what fell down at this time was not pepper water, but molten iron from magma.
Kong Ru was tortured and struggled desperately. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die immediately, but his whole body was held down by the Huang family's thugs, and Huang Erlang was still laughing and pouring water into his mouth.
After the bowl of chili water was poured down on him, Huang Erlang stopped temporarily. Huang Erlang looked at Kong Ru whose face was full of blood. After the baptism of the bowl of chili water passing through his intestines, Huang Erlang's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
, although it looks a bit more ferocious, it is no longer as sharp as before.
Huang Erlang looked at Kong Ru breathing heavily, with sticky oral mixture dripping from the corners of his mouth. This was Huang Erlang who had ruined Kong Ru's dignity with his own hands, and he felt refreshed as he thought to himself. Huang Erlang
He put the empty bowl on the ground and said to Confucius: "Now that the king's law is in your stomach, it's time to talk about food and grass!"
Confucius slapped his neck, spit out a mouthful, stared at Shi Jin from a distance and shouted: "Shi Jin! You despicable villain! You are just stupid robbers!"
When Shi Jin heard him scolding him, he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Boss Kong, please don't slander anyone. His torture of you is the business of your Huang Kong family. All I did was come to take your 'custody' back."
I have always been reasonable about the food and grass. Once the food and grass are obtained, we will not conflict with each other!"
Kong Ru sneered and said: "Reasonable? What a reasonable bandit! Then let me explain clearly to you. I helped the county magistrate to stock up on those grains and grasses. Now the yamen have been burned down and all the agreements are gone. These grains and grasses are gone."
It’s mine! You said you wouldn’t touch people’s money, let me see how you can reverse this!”
After hearing this, Shi Jin secretly made a gesture to Jin Jiaoban who had stepped aside. He stood up slowly and said, "So that's what happened. In your heart, Confucius, the yamen is burned down, and this food is yours."
Yes, but does this mean?"
"That's right! This food and grass is mine. If you bandits want it, then let me go now. I can still consider it!"
"Ah, come on, come on, let him get up first." Shi Jin said, and quickly asked the Huang family to let go. When Kong Ru got up from the ground in embarrassment, Shi Jin continued: "Boss Kong,
We don’t know each other without fighting, so don’t take it seriously if you have a large amount. It’s just... how can we discuss the food and grass now?"
Kong Ru didn't know that Shi Jin was trying to drag the knife, but he thought that Shi Jin was really restrained by his fallacy, so he acted like a boss, raised his head, snorted, and said: "Discuss?
Just now I followed your king's laws, now you have to follow my rules!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Boss Kong is really a man of my generation. It is exactly the same as what I think. I have to follow your principles. Look!" Shi Jin said, looking at him and pointing behind him.
Kong Ru looked around and saw that the soldiers who had been deployed on the house had withdrawn at some point, but there was clearly a fire inside the house. If this trend continued, within half an hour, the huge Kong Ji Dyeing Workshop would be on fire.
It will be plunged into a sea of fire and finally burned to ashes.
Kong Ru looked anxious to death. This Kongji Dyeing Workshop was his most proud property and a trump card to support his rampant business world. If it was burned down by fire, then the Kong family would not be able to stand up again if they wanted to.
It's easier.
Kong Ru looked at the fire jumping and burning in the surrounding rooms. He shouted anxiously to Shi Jin: "Quickly put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire!" After saying this, Kong Ru wanted to run to the edge of the well, but he couldn't run out yet.
After a few steps, he was held down by people from the Huang family and pinned to the ground.
Shi Jin walked over unhurriedly at this time and said: "Why are you so anxious? Isn't this very agreeable to your reasoning? If you burn it with fire, the place and the food will belong to me!"
"Shi Jin! You're going too far!"
Shi Jin saw him walking up to Confucius and said: "Kong Ru, do you know that the people in the whole city are struggling with hunger and thirst now? Why are you still in the mood to make money here? How can you be so vicious! You
Do you think I don’t know anything! Those grains and grasses were produced by the hard work of the common people, and were collected unconditionally by that dog official, but he did such a thing with a profiteer like you!" Shi Jin became more and more angry as he spoke: "I gave it to you.
How many times have you been given the opportunity to hand over grain, but you are so shameless and still keep the grain and grass for yourself! You are a profiteer among profiteers and you should be killed!"
Kong Ru was completely dumbfounded by what he said, and the flames in the room behind him had burned down the beams. In an instant, with a roar, the whole house collapsed, just like the last pillar in Kong Ru's heart at this moment.
It's like collapsing.
Only now did Kong Ru really realize that he was afraid, and he trembled and said: "Brother Shi, we can discuss it carefully. Please hurry up and ask someone to put out the fire!"
"I'm not Brother Shi, I'm the bandit you talk about! There was no discussion just now!" Shi Jin said, turning his back and watching the house on the other side of the dye house collapse.
Kong Ru watched the devouring flames engulfing his dyeing workshop one by one, and the industry that supported his strength was gradually collapsing. The Kong family's prosperity for many years was burned to the ground by Shi Jin in just one greedy thought.
In this fierce fire.
Confucius looked at Shi Jin's back longingly, kowtowed with all his strength, and begged: "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi! I will hand over the food and grass, and only leave half of it for me. Please, please,
It’s easy to talk about anything to save my dyeing workshop!”
After hearing what he said, Shi Jin estimated that this trick of attacking the mind was almost done, so he glanced at Huang Erlang.
Huang Erlang understood immediately, grabbed his hair and shouted: "Where is the food and grass?"
"In that well!"
Shi Jin called Jin Jiao Ban and whispered: "The fire was set well, let's ask the brothers to put it out now." Jin Jiao Ban accepted Shi Jin's affirmation, smiled slightly in his heart, turned around and quickly commanded the brothers in Shaohua Mountain to start
We fetched water to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, the fire was suppressed by the earth tiles on the roof. In addition, the people were grateful and came to help one after another. However, in just a cup of tea, the fire was completely extinguished and turned into curling smoke.
During this period, Huang Erlang was instructed by Shi Jin to go down to another dry well. When he saw a large amount of grain and grass neatly piled up, Huang Erlang suddenly realized that no wonder he only saw grain trucks coming in, but no grain and grass.
It was underground. And this well was not, as Confucius usually said, a dry well dug by Zhen Banxian who had miscalculated the location. Instead, it had been planned long ago and an underground warehouse with excellent ventilation was built here. When he caught it
When the rice grains were hoisted up with ropes, the fire was almost out.
Huang Erlang saw Shi Jin and others gathered around the well with lanterns. As soon as he climbed out of the well, he happily showed Shi Jin the handful of rice in his hand and said happily: "Uncle Shi, there is rice, there is rice, this damn thing
It’s really a big warehouse down there!”
"Okay! Xiaojin, go get the brothers to transport the rice!"
Jin Jiaoban hugged Shi Jin and trotted all the way down to quickly arrange the carriage and horses. Shi Jin settled the water and food matters together and felt very comfortable. He guessed that the time was almost up, so he had the idea of returning home.
So he bowed his hands to Huang Erlang and Kong Ru, changed his tone, and said politely: "Shi Jin has disturbed you all tonight, let's say goodbye and see you again!" He turned around and left.
At this time, people behind him shouted in unison: "Uncle Shi, stay!"
