"These two guys want to destroy our fields, catch them quickly!" After a roar, Fang Hubin and He Fengyu were quickly surrounded by a large group of people, three floors inside and three floors outside.
Fortunately, Wu Zhen was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, so he arranged a few government servants to act as guards for them in advance.
Realizing that these villagers looked unkind, the government officials immediately drew their swords.
Holding a steel knife, he pointed at the villagers who were wearing rags and holding farm tools such as sickles and hoes in their hands and shouted: "Stop all of them. Do you want to rebel?"
Although these government officials were very fierce, they did not scare away the villagers.
The people from Zhoujia Village surrounded them, each with fierce eyes, as if they were man-eating beasts.
Many of them had participated in the armed fighting with the neighboring village, and some even resigned from Jun Wushang.
If it were normal times, they might still be afraid of these government officials.
The government officials themselves are nothing, but what these government officials represent is the government.
But now it's different.
The entire Datong Prefecture is experiencing a drought that only occurs once in a thousand years. At this time, every piece of land is extremely precious.
Maybe, just because this piece of land produces a little more food, the family can survive.
Therefore, even if these people are official servants of the government.
When they heard that they were going to destroy their fields, the people in Zhoujia Village suddenly became angry.
Fortunately, the government officials' official skins were somewhat useful, and although the villagers were extremely angry, they did not lose their minds.
"No matter who you are, if you want to destroy the fields, you can't do it."
"People in the government can't do whatever they want."
"You dog officials just want to force us to death, right?"
"I've been watching them wandering around the village these past few days. I didn't know what they wanted to do at first. I just found out today that these guys didn't hold their shit back."
Those government officials were on the verge of crying but had no tears. They had already greeted the eighteenth generation of Fang Hubin and He Fengyu's ancestors several times.
In their opinion, if these two little bastards hadn't been messing around, they wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation today.
But under the current circumstances, it was impossible for them to leave Fang Hubin and He Fengyu and run away.
The leader of the arrest, whose surname was Zhang Daxian, tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart.
"Folks, please don't get excited. We have no intention of destroying the fields. There must be a misunderstanding here."
As soon as he finished explaining, someone said disdainfully: "Bah, don't think you can just deceive people like this."
"I heard everything clearly just now." The villager pointed at He Fengyu and said, "The two of them made it clear just now that they wanted to seal off... our fields and not allow us to farm.
"
After hearing what he said, Fang Hubin quit.
What they are doing now can be considered as something that can benefit all people in the world.
Not only do these people not understand, but they actually doubt them?
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." Fang Hubin said angrily: "What my senior brother said was just to block off the surrounding fields, not even one acre of land."
"Even if it has some impact on you, it probably won't be too big."
"What's more, even if we use your land, we won't use your land in vain. The court will naturally compensate you accordingly."
Hearing what Fang Hubin said, Zhang Daxian's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to stop him.
Unfortunately, Fang Hubin spoke too fast. By the time Zhang Da rushed to Fang Hubin and tried to stop him, the guy had almost finished speaking.
It is completely unnecessary to stop it at this time.
Fang Hubin spoke righteously and believed that he was not wrong at all.
It's a pity that he doesn't know that once there are more creatures like humans, it will be difficult to reason.
Although Fang Hubin felt that he had made it clear.
But the villagers who besieged them became increasingly angry.
"Have you heard that these guys really want to block our land?"
"These people who are destroying our fields at this time must have bad intentions."
"I think they are here to harm our Zhoujia Village."
"Stop talking nonsense to them, kill them first and then talk."
Hearing these words, Fang Hubin's face turned green.
What's going on here?
They are here to help Zhoujia Village get rid of the water crisis. Even if they are not their heroes, they should be regarded as their guests.
As a result, these guys actually wanted to kill them.
"You..." Fang Hubin's lips trembled in anger.
"Stop it!" Zhang Daxian let out a furious cry: "I can tell you, these two gentlemen are the prince's students. If you dare to hurt them even a hair, your whole village will be unable to survive."
The identity of the prince is somewhat intimidating.
Many excited people in Zhoujia Village gradually calmed down.
Although most of them could not understand how much power a prince had, they also knew that the prince was a great man.
Then the prince's disciple must be a great person, right?
For a moment, the villagers in Zhoujia Village were somewhat stunned.
No matter how tough they are, they are just ordinary people and do not have the courage to go against the prince.
When Zhang Da first saw this situation, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just sent someone to notify Wu Zhen. Now he just needed to hold back these excited villagers and wait for Wu Zhen to arrive.
After all, he is the master of the palace, and the villagers of Zhoujia Village must not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Wu Zhen.
"What about the prince's disciples? Can they harm ordinary people like us?"
Who knows, at this moment, an old voice came through.
The villagers of Zhoujia Village surrounding Fang Hubin and He Fengyu slowly made a detour to both sides.
Immediately afterwards, an old man, about seventy or eighty years old, with a stooped figure and gray hair, walked with a cane and needed help.
Seventy years is rare in life.
Let alone seventy or eighty, even a person in his fifties or sixties is considered a very long-lived person in many villages.
Such an old man is a very prestigious person in every village.
Although he is an ordinary person, during the New Year and holidays, even the county magistrate has to have people come to visit him.
At this age, every extra year of life is auspicious.
Because of this, the prestige of such clan elders in the village is quite high.
Even the village chief is nothing more than a little baby in front of them.
Seeing them, Zhang Daxian's expression couldn't help but change, because the old man looked at them in a very unfriendly way.
I wanted to say a few words of peace first, so Zhang Daxian quickly said: "Old man, you really misunderstood."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the crutch in the old man's hand hit the ground heavily: "Misunderstanding? I don't think there is any misunderstanding."
"Don't think that because I'm old and confused, you can just talk nonsense."
"At times like this, God is angry."
"We ordinary people don't know anything about national affairs. The only thing we know is that this food is the thing that can save people's lives."
"You want to waste the food in our Zhoujia Village, unless I die!"
Because he was talking too excitedly, the old man accidentally salivated a little.
This was so bad that the old man immediately started coughing violently and couldn't stop it for a long time.
With the old man's stature and age, Fang Hubin, He Fengyu and Zhang Daxian were all worried that the old man would not be able to breathe well, and there would be something wrong with him.
If things turn out like this, then they may not be able to leave Zhoujiacun today.
"You bastards! If there is anything wrong with the old man, even if you are from the government, you have to give us an explanation."
"I think these people have simply cast some kind of evil spell to intentionally harm my third uncle."
After a long while, the clan elder gradually regained his composure.
But looking at his frail appearance, it seemed that he was about to lose most of his life.
People are still there, that's the most important thing.
Zhang Daxian had just asked for all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, which is a typical example of temporary cramming.
If all the gods and Buddhas in the sky knew about it, I don't know if they would rain down a thunder from the sky and kill Zhang Daxian directly.
I usually don't care about anything, but now that I'm in trouble, I start asking for help shamelessly.
Zhang Daxian didn't think so much. Anyway, the few breathing moments just now were definitely the most pious times in Zhang Daxian's life.
Finally, after the clan elder calmed down, Zhang Daxian and the others felt that there seemed to be fewer unkind eyes around them.
But before he could relax, the clan elder who had just recovered pointed at them in horror and shouted: "These people are definitely not from the imperial court, they are monsters who have come to harm our Zhoujia Village. Kill them, otherwise
If we do, our Zhoujia Village will never have peace!"
Hearing what the clan elder said, those who were originally very dissatisfied with Fang Hubin and the others suddenly became murderous.
"I know these guys are definitely not good people."
"It turns out to be a monster. No wonder he's been so sneaky these past few days."
Zhang Daxian is going crazy. What the hell is this?
How could it be that the clan leader suddenly identified them as monsters?
Given the old man's prestige, once he said this, it was useless for them to explain it.
Not to mention that Zhang Daxian was the head catcher of Datong Prefecture and was not a local.
When people are so excited now, it will be useless no matter who comes, they will only be torn apart by the angry people.
"Stop, we are members of the imperial court, do you really want to rebel? Do you know that rebellion is a serious crime against the Nine Clan?"
"If you yourself are not afraid of death, aren't you afraid that your whole family will also be beheaded by the court?"
Zhang Daxian's words still had some effect more or less.
Some people were still afraid of the imperial court after all, and could not help but hesitate.
But there are also many people who simply don't take his words seriously.
"Bah, you monsters are still so stubborn at this time."
"Someone go get some black dog blood and let them reveal their true colors!"
"There's no need to go to so much trouble. These monsters are definitely not very good, so they're not very powerful yet. Let's take advantage of this moment to make them, and we'll naturally know what their prototypes are."
As a head catcher, Zhang Daxian has been dealing with all kinds of criminals all year round, so he naturally has a trace of evil spirit about him.
He raised the steel knife in his hand: "I, Zhang Daxian, the arrester of Datong Mansion, am not a monster. You should step away immediately. I am also eager to protect the land. I, the arrester, will pretend that this matter has not happened. Otherwise, I will
Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Although his words were sonorous and powerful, it was a pity that no one listened to what he said.
Zhang Daxian is a regretful person.
You said that you are a good person and do not enjoy happiness in Datong Mansion.
Although the current price of food is extremely expensive, as a leader, Zhang Da is not short of money if he comes first.
Based on salary alone, even in normal times, an official like him would not have a very easy life.
But, snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways.
A local coward like Zhang Daxian will naturally have many things that are not worthy of publicity.
Although strictly speaking, it is considered a violation of Ming law.
However, the entire officialdom turns a blind eye to this kind of thing.
Even though the Ming Dynasty has just been established, the administration is relatively clear and no one has said anything.
After all, these officials also have to survive.
Zhang Daxian originally felt that by going out with the Fu Zun, even if he had no merit, he could still be considered as sharing the joys and sorrows with the Fu Zun.
By then, there might be some good opportunities.
As a result, I didn't wait for the good opportunity, and now my life is almost in danger.
Seeing that the angry villagers were about to take action.
He Fengyu suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha!"
The inexplicable laughter at this time made everyone feel a little strange for a while.
Someone gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you smiling, you stinky monster?"
He Fengyu laughed a few more times, then narrowed his eyes strangely, and said in a strange tone like a foreigner speaking Chinese: "I have hidden myself so well, I didn't expect that you would still find out."
Before the group of them admitted that they were monsters, everyone yelled at them to kill them.
Now that He Fengyu suddenly admitted it, the people in Zhoujia Village were shocked.
Many people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw frightened looks in each other's eyes.
"Third uncle is indeed very piercing. These guys are really monsters."
"Do you think this drought has anything to do with them?" someone speculated.
Before they could continue their speculation, Feng Yu decisively interrupted them: "Although we are monsters, we don't have the ability to make the entire Datong Mansion dry."
"To tell you the truth, I am a crucian carp spirit. One of the purposes of coming here this time is to find water sources."
Upon hearing this, there was a buzz of discussion around him.
"Monsters also want water? Is it true?"
"That's nonsense. I think you are just lying to us. Don't believe what the monster says!"
He Fengyu said unhurriedly: "Just because I am a monster, I need someone's water more than you."
