Chapter 5 Murder

Yuan Zongdi is considered the market leader.

His four brothers and sisters all sell goods in the market. In addition, there are a lot of cousins ​​living nearby.

So as long as one of them is bullied, ten or twenty relatives will come out to cheer and cheer. Not to mention men, women dare to fight. No one in the entire market dares to mess with them.

But the ruffian who came to cause trouble today is unusual.

"You bastard!"

Chicken Cove came forward and grabbed the clerk by the collar, stared at him and shouted, "Can you speak human language?"

The boy saw that the other party was very aggressive, so he had to turn his head and look at his employer.

Yuan Zongdi stood up and spat, waving his hands in disgust, "It's almost done, don't move your hands or feet."

"Snapped!"

Jiwotou raised his hand and slapped the boy in the mouth, "I'll make your mouth smell bad!"

Yuan Zongdi couldn't bear it, so he walked around the meat stall and pushed the chicken coop away, "Get out of here!"

The chicken coop head glared and cursed, "Toru! You don't want to work at the meat stall anymore? Are you tired of the work?"

Yuan Zongdi squinted and sneered, "Hey, I've been selling meat for more than ten years, and you won't let me do it? Who are you asking for something?"

"I'm your father!" the chicken coop head cursed and kicked.

Yuan Zongdi did not dodge, standing there firmly with his strong body.

"Shit-like stuff!"

He counterattacked with a punch and knocked the chicken coop to the ground.

Chicken Coop grinned with a headache, vomited blood and foam, slapped the ground and shouted: "It's time to kill! Brothers, come here!"

It turned out that he was playing forward. As soon as he finished shouting, five or six people rushed out of an alley.

Yuan Zongdi shouted in panic: "Go call someone!"

The boy ran in a hurry and shouted at the top of his voice.

The seventh aunt and the eighth aunt heard the news, picked up the carrying pole and the rolling pin and rushed out.



Li Zicheng led everyone around the corner and saw chaos in the vegetable market from a distance.

In the melee between twenty and thirty people, the screams of crying fathers and mothers kept ringing out.

Tian Jianxiu frowned and said, "Brother, it seems he is the one who covers the tiger?"

"Whoever the hell is, follow me!"

Li Zicheng roared and rushed over first.

A straight punch knocks one down, an over-the-shoulder throw knocks another down, a right uppercut knocks down another...

For the future starting team, Li Zicheng will not hesitate to help.

With the addition of fresh troops, the melee quickly ended.

It's just that the ending is a bit bad.

Yuan Zongdi saw his younger brother Yuan Zongdao being beaten and his nose was bleeding profusely. He stabbed him with a meat cleaver in a hurry. 1 The two brothers died on the same day in the same year and month, and their son died on the same day.

Chicken Cothead lay on the ground holding his stomach, struggling twice before dying.

After Yuan Zongdi calmed down, he was dumbfounded and said with trembling lips, "Brother..."

Li Zicheng consoled him: "Don't panic, I have the final say in everything."

Yuan Zongdi felt a little relieved. This brother's friendship was not in vain, and the five kilograms of mutton on New Year's Eve were not in vain.

"Everyone who catches a thief has to squat down for me!"

A loud shout came, and several government servants carrying waist knives ran closer.

Li Zicheng looked at the leader and sneered: "To be the new leader? It's very impressive for a new official to take office!"

Gai Hu pressed the sword on his waist and said with a strange air: "It's not bad, better than those who were kicked out of the inn."

Yuan Zongdi stepped forward and explained softly, "Foreign leader, the money for Liujin River's water conservancy construction was paid last year, and now we have to collect it again. This is inappropriate..."

Gai Hu glared and said, "You also had dinner yesterday. Do you want to eat today?"

This was a strong argument, and Yuan Zongdi was choked and had nothing to say.

Just as Li Zicheng was about to speak, Liu Zongmin came running quickly.

"Thief against your mother!"

When Liu Zongmin saw the two groups of people confronting each other, he kicked Gai Hu down without asking why.

"Donkey please! Don't think that I won't dare to hit you just because I've changed my skin!"

As the old saying goes, those who are soft are afraid of those who are hard, those who are hard are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.

Liu Zongmin is a life-threatening second-stringer.

"Stop! Stop fighting!"

Li Zicheng quickly pulled Liu Zongmin over.

If you really want to make things bigger, you have to go to the mountains in advance to fight guerrillas.

Gai Hu got up in embarrassment and shouted angrily at his subordinates: "You guys are asking for power for nothing?"

All the servants looked at each other.

They had just joined the new team leader, and it was enough to bully a kind person on weekdays. There was no need to sacrifice their lives for him. Wouldn't that loyal boy lie down on the ground and rest in peace?

Gai Hu was cursing and was about to draw his knife when Li Zicheng stepped forward and pushed back.

"Boss, please look up and see you, we have something to discuss."

"What are we talking about? You lost your life, and you resisted arrest. Li Zicheng, just wait until you are put in jail!"

Liu Zongmin was angry, "Shameless!"

He took a step forward, raised his fist as big as the vinegar bowl, and pretended to hit again. Gai Hu didn't want to suffer the immediate loss, so he turned around and ran away.

The handymen followed and dispersed.

Li Zicheng sighed and took out the ten taels of silver again, "Fang Liang, go find the head of the fast class and ask him to settle the matter."

Gao Yingyuan and Gao Ligong are distant relatives.

Liu Fangliang took the money and ran to the home of the senior classmate's wife.

Yuan Zongdi went back to the house and took out some scattered silver and a few strings of copper coins, and said with a bitter face: "Brother, that's all."

What can this little money do?

Li Zicheng turned around and ordered, "Zong Min, go to Aijia Bank and borrow at least fifty taels. Think of something."

"Alas!" Liu Zongmin scratched his scalp and left.

Li Zicheng was making arrangements for his funeral here, while Gai Hu had already reported the matter to Dian Shi with added jealousy.

He did not dare to say that the trouble was caused by water conservancy collection and apportionment, because the county did not have such a project at all.

What's more, the collection of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes is the responsibility of the fast class, not the arresting class.

Gao Yingyuan, the fast class member, took advantage of Gai Hu, so he acquiesced in allowing him to collect some money at will.

Gai Hu used to be a small gangster and spent more than eighty taels of silver to get the job of leader. Now he is eager to get money to repay loan sharks.

Naturally, he didn't dare to mess with wealthy families, and poor people couldn't squeeze out money, so they had no choice but to find small businessmen.

He didn't expect that the first blackmail would fail.

If this is not handled properly, the prestige of the class leader will be lost in the future.

Dian Shi heard that the former postman was causing trouble, so he thought about it and reported it to the county magistrate.

Yan Zibin, the county magistrate, was furious and flustered. He called Gai Hu over, cursed him, and then drove him out.

Mr. Yan will be transferred out in a few months, so there must be no accident at the moment.

Recently, refugees have spread all over Shaanxi. From time to time, newspapers report that a certain county has been invaded and a certain government has been besieged, which is frightening.

Mr. Yan prays to God and Buddha every day and prays that he will not cause trouble under his rule.

He was worried about the abolition of the post station, for fear that the postmen would gather and make noise.

Now that he heard that the horse-headed inn was causing trouble, he just pretended that he didn't see it.

Just kill someone, as long as you don't rebel, everything will be fine.

On the other side, Gao Yingyuan took ten taels of silver from Li Zicheng and put it aside. He neither called Gai Hu for questioning, nor could he go to the county magistrate to deal with it.

Is there a day when no one dies in the city? What a big deal.

Bantou Gao has been in Gongmen for more than ten years and knows what he is doing.

Therefore, a murder case was reduced to a trivial matter.

Li Zicheng didn't know the inside story yet, so he felt a little scared. But he had to pretend to be calm in front of everyone.

He weighed his handbag and said, "Zong Min, you are so patient. I thought I could only borrow 10 or 80 taels."

Liu Zongmin said nonchalantly: "Elder brother said he wanted fifty taels, so he must have fifty taels."

Liu Fangliang asked curiously: "How did you borrow it? I'll get some too."

Liu Zongmin snorted, "Is money easy to get? I borrowed fifty taels for one year, and I have to pay back eighty-eight taels with principal and interest. What should I pay back? I sold myself, and if I don't pay back at the end, I'll give it to the Ai family as pawn."

You work like a cow for eight years in vain."

Li Zicheng untied his handkerchief, first took out twenty taels and handed them to Liu Fangliang, "Take them to the monkey spirit and ask him to say a few good words in front of the county magistrate."

The monkey spirit is Yan Zibin's personal disciple and confidant.

Li Zicheng gave another twenty taels to Yuan Zongdi, "After all, it is a human life, and compensation is unavoidable. Go talk to the family, and don't report this matter to the official."

Yuan Zong's number one pusher, Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Brother, I will pay for what I took over, and I can't let you spend any money."

"Can you have..."

Before Li Zicheng finished speaking, a former postman next to him knelt down.

"Ma Tou, if I kill Gai Hu and then go to the Yamen to surrender, will you be able to give me a living allowance of ten taels?"
