"Consolation money? We went to the yamen to ask the county magistrate for money, but they said that we were traitors and that it was good that we weren't beheaded. Then they kicked us out of the yamen and even gave us money.”
The old man sighed and didn't seem to be looking forward to it."Actually, it doesn't matter if we have the money or not. We can still support ourselves by farming at home.”
When Di Renjie heard this, he was so angry that he fanned himself. The early autumn season still had some lingering heat from the end of summer, which made it even hotter with his anger.
The old man obviously hadn't finished speaking." Originally, we thought that the remaining three hundred people from the eight villages would make do and live in the big willow tree so that we could take care of each other. However, what we didn't expect was that when we returned to the village, the land guardian, Zhao Si, told us that our land had been confiscated by the county!”
"You said that we are all farmers who rely on the land to survive. If they don't even give us a way out, how can we not rebel?”
" Even the land has been confiscated?!" Di Renjie said in shock.
"That's right.”The old man sighed.
"What right does this have!" Li Yuan Fang asked with a puzzled expression.
"We weren't convinced either, so we went to Zhao Si to reason with him. In the end, this guy found a few soldiers and arrested a few of the leaders and put them in prison. The villagers couldn't take it anymore, so they found someone to pool money to write a complaint and came to Youzhou to complain.”
"Guess what happened? The Provincial Governor of Youzhou was even more ruthless. He didn't even allow them to speak. He directly tore up the complaint and arrested them, saying that they were rebellious people who gathered together to make trouble. That was a serious crime that required beheading!”
"Without money and land, how are we going to survive?" the old man said with a face full of fear. Were they going to just watch 300 people starve to death?”
Di Renjie slammed the table in anger.”
"Dog official!" Di Feng simply found it hard to imagine that this was still broad daylight in Youzhou City within the Great Zhou!
He actually dared to do this. What about those more remote places? It seemed that no matter which era it was, bad people were everywhere!
"Elder, don't worry. I will definitely help you!”Di Renjie said angrily.
Rumble!
At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, bringing with it an explosion.
Di Feng took a deep breath and looked at the sky outside the house. Di Renjie's faint voice sounded in his ears,""A storm is coming!”
......
On the outskirts of Youzhou Province, in a small mountain god temple not far from the Great Willow Village.
Li Er, who was wearing a bamboo hat, was sitting quietly in front of the statue, as if he was resting with his eyes closed.
At this moment, a gentle breeze came from outside the window. When he opened his eyes, he found a figure in a black robe standing in front of him.
This person was wearing a black horn hat and a bronze mask. He held a white handkerchief in his hand and was wiping his hands comfortably.
It was the mysterious assassin who had been attacking everywhere, Viper.
Seeing him throw away the handkerchief, Li Er frowned.""How did you find me?"
"If you didn't show up in Youzhou Province, we would not have found you. Alas, it's such a heavy thunderstorm in autumn.”
"Do it."
As he said this, he actually drew a long sword with a dim light at his waist and said arrogantly.
Li Er's expression changed slightly. He suddenly grabbed a rope from the ground."In that case, I've been waiting for you!"
Swoosh!
With a fierce grab, a trap rope suddenly appeared under Viper's feet, instantly binding his feet!
This rope was hidden under the straw on the ground. It came suddenly and was not intentional. Naturally, it was hit.
Taking advantage of Viper's daze, Li Er directly turned around and threw out a rope that he had prepared beforehand, and directly tied Viper in.
However, just as he was about to pull the rope and tie it up, Viper cut the rope with a flip of his hand. Li Er lost his balance and retreated.
Viper immediately raised his sword and stabbed forward. Just as he was about to get close, Li Er smiled and kicked an old table beside him.
A rope immediately sprang up from the ground and stopped Viper. Then, as Li Er moved like lightning, he actually triggered four ropes in succession and trapped Viper.
Viper's body stopped, and he stomped his feet and dashed toward the roof.
Li Er quickly grabbed the rope that had tied Viper up and yanked him down.
Viper looked down with his sword, wanting to cut the rope, but Li Er threw out another rope and tied Viper's right hand.
Then, the five ropes contracted together, trapping Viper within.
However, at this moment, Viper extended his left hand and a black shadow shot out from his sleeve.
The black shadow came very quickly. Li Er was almost defenseless and was stabbed in the chest. When the black shadow landed on the ground, Li Er saw clearly that it was actually a poisonous snake!
Viper took the opportunity to cut all the ropes with his sword.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Er directly rushed to the old wooden window and crashed out, disappearing into the dense forest.
Viper sneered and walked out of the ruined temple.
