The sun sets, the moon rises, the moon sets and the sun rises. Before the sun sets again, Wangjiacun has fallen into an eerie silence.
The people on the mountain were not in a hurry. They waited until it got dark, Liu Tian went around the village, lit the torch three times at the entrance of the village and extinguished it three times as agreed, and then those people came out of the mountain.
The leader was the second boss of the village, Brother Bao's brother, known as Brother Tiger. Behind him were about thirty people, all of them fierce.
Liu Tian nodded and bowed to say hello to Brother Hu.
"Liu Tian, are you sure everyone is asleep?" Brother Hu looked at Liu Tian and asked.
"I'm sure, I've gone to check, and there's no movement in every house. And since nightfall, no one in Wangjia Village except the Lu family has lit up lights," Liu Tian said.
People in Wangjia Village are rich, so they are not as frugal as before. Occasionally, some people will light lamps at night. But today, from dawn to dusk, the whole village is quiet, without a single lamp.
The only exception was the Lu family. But the Lu family didn't seem to notice anything unusual in the village. Lu Yan and He Yunxi were still doing things in the yard with lights on.
"The Lu family? How come they weren't poisoned?" Brother Hu asked.
"Because the Lu family has their own well, they do not drink water from the village well." Liu Tian explained, "But there are only two people in their family, one is a weak scholar, and the other is a beautiful wife."
"My dear wife? Is that girl pretty?"
"Beautiful, much prettier than my wife!" Liu Tian said, "He Yunxi is beautiful and has a good figure. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She is more than ten times more beautiful than my wife!"
Brother Tiger was happy.
He heard Baozi say that Liu Tian was lucky and married a very beautiful daughter-in-law. Now the Lu family's daughter-in-law is more than ten times more beautiful than Liu Tian's daughter-in-law. How beautiful is she?
"Are you sure there are only two people in the Lu family?"
"I'm sure. The Lu family is also a wealthy family in the village. They moved to the city before. Lu Yan and He Yunxi also came back because they were growing peppers." Liu Tian said, "This tofu was given to the village by the Lu family.
, and the workshops at the foot of the mountain are also run by them, and I heard they are always making money."
"Haha, then we really need to take a good look at the Lu family." Brother Hu laughed, "Leopard, take people to take the money from each family, and capture the young and beautiful women and take them back. You three
Come with me."
"Okay, big brother."
"Liu Tian, take me to the Lu family." Brother Hu said to Liu Tian, "This business is all yours. After it is completed, I will reward you well."
"Thank you Brother Hu."
"Tonight, the money and women in Wangjiacun belong to us. It depends on you whether you can take a wife back."
"Yeah!"
"Hoho-"
A group of bandits excitedly headed towards the village. Before they even got close to the first house, they saw torches lighting up and quickly surrounded them.
Brother Hu reacted quickly and shouted: "If there is a situation, run quickly!"
The bandit turned around and ran away, but the road behind him was also blocked.
They are surrounded!
"Catch them!" Luo Zixuan waved his hand, and the Yamen and the people he brought immediately attacked the bandits.
"Liu Tian, you are cheating on us!" Brother Hu shouted, and without caring about taking care of Liu Tian, he rushed towards the government officials.
Chang Yue saw that Brother Hu was a martial artist, so he jumped up to him and started fighting with him.
Because Luo Zixuan brought more people, the bandits were quickly caught. A few who broke through the siege and ran out were also captured.
All the bandits were tied up and knelt on the ground, including Liu Tian.
At this time, more than a dozen people came out of the village. It was Wang Yi who was leading a dozen villagers, including Lu Yan and He Yunxi.
Liu Tian looked at the people who came out and his eyes widened in surprise: "You guys, haven't you all got weak muscles?"
"Well, Liu Tian, our Wangjiacun gave you a job and asked you to help deliver tofu. Is this how you repay Wangjiacun?" Wang Yi yelled at Liu Tian.
"Bah!" Liu Tian spat, "The few copper coins you have are just for sending beggars away!"
"You——" Wang Yi was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat Liu Tian up.
"Village chief, he is just a bandit. Why are you angry with him?" Wang Yougen comforted Wang Yi.
"Ah - you white-eyed wolf, I'll beat you to death!" Wang Laoqi rushed over and punched and kicked Liu Tian.
They had been hiding in the nearest yard just now and heard what the bandits said. Not only did these people want to take money, but they also wanted to capture women. They were so crazy!
And Liu Tian came to stay for so long this time just to gain territory!
"It's in vain that we asked you to join us just for the sake of Lao Qi, but you actually harbor such evil intentions!"
"Such a person should be killed directly!"
These villagers are all men. He Yunxi gave them the antidote and brought them here in order to let them know what happened.
"Lu Yan, Yun Xi, I want to take these people away." Luo Zixuan said, "The bandits are infested, and I have to go back overnight to interrogate them."
"Okay. I do know some things about these bandits. I will go to the Yamen tomorrow to tell you in detail." Lu Yan said.
"Tomorrow is the day when the college examination results will be announced. You should wait at home. There is no rush to deal with these bandits at this time." Luo Zixuan said.
He believed in Lu Yan's talent and knew that today was the day when the results of the college examination would come out, and tomorrow would be the day when he would be notified to the county seat.
"Then go to the county government office the day after tomorrow." Lu Yan said.
"Okay, let's go then!" Luo Zixuan cupped his hands towards Lu Yan and He Yunxi, preparing to take them away.
When people in Wangjiacun saw this scene, they truly understood how close Lu Yan and He Yunxi were to the county magistrate.
Suddenly, a villager said: "Um, Wang Erya is Liu Tian's wife, do you want to take her away with her?"
