Chapter 17 This Is What She Wants

The tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot because of Huang Landlord's funny and miserable appearance.

"Who dares to laugh at me!" Landlord Huang stared fiercely at the crowd.

Zhu Yu strangled Zhu Yu's neck when he was supposed to be menacing, and because of being beaten and sang for half the night, his hoarse voice lost all momentum.

Even so, the villagers stopped smiling.

"What's the matter with you, what a majestic fart!"

Zhu Yu raised his hand and slapped him on the head.The messy bun was directly broken up, and there were only a few sparse hairs on the top of the head without any cover, which was even more ridiculous.

This time the villagers didn't dare to laugh any more, they all looked at Zhu Yu in astonishment.

Surprised by her boldness, and a little admired, someone finally did what they wanted to do but dared not do.

That red and swollen face, blood stains all over, and the aggrieved expression that dared not speak up after being beaten was very satisfying!
"You guys, are you hungry?"

Shu Yingtong spoke in a deep voice, her gaze quietly swept over these scrawny people in ragged clothes.

Compared with her original village, the current situation of the villagers here is even more miserable.

I walked through the village just now, and there was no grass growing, and the roofs of all the thatched houses were empty, not even wooden slats.

Most were haggard, with a thin layer of skin clinging to the bone.Most people's stomachs show different degrees of distension, regardless of gender.

"I'm hungry..."

"I ate all I could eat..."

"The powdered wood is finished..."

"I can't get out..."

Low laments surround the entire perimeter, and the villagers' spines are bent with powerless despair.

The Yellow Landlords have been beaten like this, their life will only be more difficult in the future...

Shu Yingtong stretched out her fist slowly, spreading her palm upwards.

When the villagers saw clearly what was on the thin palm, the scene became commotion.

That's rice, white rice!
This little one can save a family's life!

"This is the life-saving rice given to you by the imperial court."

The cold tone warmed the hearts of the villagers and scared everyone in the Huang family.

Shu Yingtong bent down and put the dagger back into the scabbard, handed the soft whip to Chunya beside him, then reached into his bosom and took out a handful of copper coins.

"This is the life-saving money given to you by the imperial court."

"Nonsense! It was stolen from my Huang family's granary!"

Landlord Huang finally lost her composure. She is bewitching people with lies, and she must be stopped!

Zhu Yu, who was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and pinched his neck tightly in annoyance.Although she didn't know what the girl did in those eight rooms, she believed every word the girl said.

Just Chong girl was willing to give Xuemei and the others pancakes to eat when they met for the first time, and she supported everything the girl did.

This old yellow dog wants to disturb the scene, but there is no way!

The villagers looked at this strange girl, stretched their arms and palms, with rice in one hand and copper coins in the other.She said it was given to them by the court.

help.

"Why does the imperial court control us?"

"Impossible, they only call for food and soldiers."

"I don't believe it. The millet in my house was so well-dried last year, and I insisted that it was too damp, so I paid [-]% more. If you don't pay, you will come to the house and smash it."

The hope in the eyes of the villagers was slowly annihilated by the memories of the past, and they all shook their heads, but their eyes were fixed on Shu Yingtong's palm.

Whether it is from the imperial court or not, the rice is real.

"Don't believe me? Forget it."

Shu Yingtong withdrew his palm expressionlessly, and put the rice and copper coins back into his bosom.Take back the soft whip and draw out the dagger.

Landlord Huang's eyes flashed with pride, people who have been kneeling for a long time cannot stand up.

The handful of white rice disappeared from sight, and a great loss came to the village name's heart.If you haven't seen it, forget it, if you saw it and then disappeared, this is the gap.

"I believe!"

The choked roar broke the gloomy atmosphere, Shu Yingtong raised her eyebrows and looked.

A tall woman wiped her face with her sleeves, looked at her fixedly, and raised her voice, "I believe her!"

Several men forcefully pushed the others away, raised their fists and quickly surrounded the woman.

Shu Yingtong raised the dagger with his backhand and stabbed it firmly between Huang Landlord's eyebrows, looking sharply at the men who had already gathered around the tall woman, "Who dares to do it?"

A blood line slowly crossed the bridge of the nose from Huang Landlord's eyebrows, and flowed down the chin.

Landlord Huang has been tortured all night, and now he has no strength to resist anymore, and he dare not resist.

Another inch from the edge of the blade, and his eyes would be blinded.

The villagers took a step back silently, leaving the four men in a conspicuous position.

"I believe her! I've seen Huang's grain truck! It was pulled back from outside the village in the middle of the night on the sixth day of April! It pulled five carts!"

The tall woman turned around and shouted, her excited voice trembling slightly, her eyes determined.

The specific days and specific numbers gave the villagers a definite idea.

They live in a remote mountain village, and the landlord Huang's family dominates. They don't know that the imperial court really provides disaster relief.Now that he heard the convincing testimony of the fellow villagers, who could bear it?
Hunger can destroy reason the most, which is also the reason why there will be uprisings if the court does not act in a famine year.

"The grain from April is almost autumn now, we can't survive! Kill Huang Dachang and get our grain back!"

The tall woman raised her arms and called out, and slowly there was a second response, a third, a fourth...

The whole village erupted in shouts of "Kill Huang Dachang and take back our food!"The villagers began to approach the center of the drying ground.

Shu Yingtong slowly raised the corners of her mouth, that's what she wanted, murder pays for life, but the law does not blame the public.

"Are you crazy! The young master of the Huang landlord's family is still in the county seat. If he finds out, he will definitely bring the officials to arrest you and behead you!"

As soon as Zhao Dazhu's bluff shouting fell, Shu Yingtong's aura was full, and the soft whip was pointed at him and loudly reprimanded:

"Why should a commoner mobilize officials! Colluding with officials to corrupt the law, as long as any villager submits a petition, the Huang family will be the first to die! You Zhu Bo will also be killed! And you few lackeys, don't even think about running away! "

The words seemed to reassure the villagers, and they swarmed up to beat up the lackeys who had been feuding for a long time.

Those family members who hid in the crowd to watch the excitement were also pushed to the front and were beaten to the point of crying by the excited villagers.

The scene was out of control, the head of the Huang family's thug raised his knife and ordered in a deep voice, "Kill!"

Shu Yingtong clenched the dagger tightly, dragged the whip and jumped down in front of Shi Nianba, with a cold smile, "I'll teach you how to do it!"

The other thugs are all fake moves, only this one is tricky, and she will deal with it.

Zhu Yu's eyes froze, he swung the lampstand and hit the landlord on the head, and shouted loudly: "You son of a bitch, see if you can hold a knife like that, folks, grab it for me!"

Pulling Huang Landlord's collar to block the front, he rushed straight into the ring, and the long-necked lamp stand in his hand was unceremonious and swung at anyone he saw.

The six girls holding the sticks looked at each other, clenched their teeth, covered Zhu Yu's back and followed, raised the sticks and faced the thug's long knife without hesitation.

Qiqi shouted, "Fight!"

Shu Yingtong lowered his waist and leaned back, the sword narrowly swept past his eyes, and the whip in his right hand was thrown straight to the opponent's door.

With a quick twist of his waist, the dagger in his left hand slashed across his abdomen.

The head of the beating was painful, and the big knife turned sharply and slashed straight at Shu Yingtong's arm.

Shu Yingtong's eyebrows twitched, and she secretly called out!

This body is not flexible enough, there is no way to avoid this cut again, this arm will be scrapped today!

Suddenly, a basket covered the head of the thug leader, and three or four villagers threw him down with all their might.

Immediately, Shu Yingtong raised the dagger and stabbed it fiercely at the wrist holding the knife.

Zhu Yu rushed left and right with Huang Landlord in his arms, and the thugs dared not slash against Huang Landlord with their knives.He was kicked down by the girls and villagers rushing up, grabbing their knives.

There were screams and roars intertwined, and the twelve thugs were beaten beyond recognition, lying on the ground without breath.

Part of the reason for their disastrous defeat was due to the servants of the Huang family who shouted for mercy and quickly exited the battle circle, and ran away as soon as the torch was thrown.

Only the housekeeper ran slowly, and Zhu Yu snatched her back, and said with a smile, "As I said, I, Zhu Yu, will take revenge from morning to night. If I fail to report in the morning, I have to make it up in the evening."
