C165 Misfortune

Xiao Letian was indeed putting on a show. There was no doubt that he was trying to win the hearts of others. However, Xiao Letian believed that in the end stage of Dynasty, where he was too lazy to even put on a show, all his actions would not be in vain. The human heart is always fleshy, as long as you work hard enough, Popular can always be moved.

Actually, when Xiao Letian left, he already saw kindness in countless eyes of Villagers. Although it was hidden very deeply, he could feel it.

It was a pity that this was after all, the good Villagers taught by the Confucian. Huang Liu's threat was very terrifying, no family dared to take the risk of being abandoned by the imperial examinations, because that was the dream of all Chinese.

Xiao Letian left and so did Scholar Huang. Sun Tie, who had gathered at the entrance of the village, looked at the mountain of wood fodder and shook his head as he sighed. When some chatty kids secretly took a few pieces of dried wood to hug at home, what they got in return was adults's reprimanding at the same time.

"F * ck you, did you want to go to school or not? Didn't the Elementary Scholar say he wasn't allowed to touch the firewood?" "Throw it back quickly …" Countless parents were guarding against these wood fodder like they were against tides and beasts, afraid that Scholar Huang's spies would notice.

The sky gradually darkened, and after Xiao Letian performed two more rounds in the other two villas, the northwest wind had grown bigger and bigger. By the time they were ready to return home, the sky was already filled with tiny snowflakes.

"Looks like what Laozi said isn't wrong. There's really going to be heavy snow tonight. I hope these Villagers won't be too stubborn. Otherwise, we'll have to suffer tonight …" Xiao Letian rubbed his hands and rubbed his numb ears.

"mister, why are you wasting your breath on them? These bunch of useless idiots, their brains are filled with water. They deserve it even if they get frozen …" The guards said unwillingly.

The bald guards beside Xiao Letian all fought with him in the glume. After the reconstruction, they all received a lot of new education. Especially since these people had all seen the world outside the national gate and sea, their horizons was already considered very wide for the current Daqing.

These guards snorted disdainfully at the superstitious legend that Tanggu Popular spoke of. This group of ignorant bumpkins were full of nonsense. If not for Xiao Letian's pressure, these guards might have had a conflict with this group of fools.

Xiao Letian slapped the guard's head. "Bullsh * t!" You think you're good? Who was it that was so scared that his legs trembled the first time he boarded the sea ship? When the typhoon did not you also shout Prince Long blessing? "You've seen the world, and are beginning to laugh at people who are not as good as you. Look at how great you are …"

The guards burst into laughter. After being beaten up, Kid's face was flushed red. Xiao Letian looked at everyone and said, "Wanting Popular to accept something new is something that cannot be rushed, something that cannot be beaten, scolded, or hurried, so as to not let them change their thoughts from the bottom of their hearts, it's not possible to force them to solve the problem. That's a hidden danger."

"Today's snow, I hope for a bigger snowfall. The bigger the snow, the higher the success rate of my plan. Let's see …" Come, let's go back and eat. Tonight, everyone will have a catty of good wine.

Xiao Letian went home to eat dinner, and these three villages were still shrouded in desolation and desolation. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu …" There were no more than ten households in the village that could open fire to make dinner. The people helped each other and finally managed to make up for a half-warm dinner. However, when the northwest wind grew larger, people finally knew how hard winter was going to be.

As the north wind blew, snow began to fall through the cracks in the doors. People huddled together in the blankets, trying to keep out the cold. At this moment, people were extremely nostalgic about the hot brick bed. If people stuffed a handful of straw into the furnace, as long as the fire burned down, the entire room would warm up.

But today, no one from the three villages dared to use the mountain-like firewood. They were all scared, and no one dared to disobey Scholar Huang's threat. Facing the cold night, all Villagers chose to endure.

In a nearby Huang Family Manor, Huang Liu was holding a tepid cup of yellow rice wine as he watched the snowstorm outside the window with concubinage by his side. Housekeeper, on the other hand, was waiting for his orders at the wine table.

"According to Young Master's orders, I sent someone to check again this evening. No one dared to secretly use those firewood, and I've just seen it. There's no smoke coming out of these villages. They probably won't have a hot bed to burn tonight …" "Look at how difficult it is to get these people to set fire to the fire, don't you think the blizzard will be too much for them to bear …"

Housekeeper was quite shrewd and actually knew how to persuade her. But when Huang Liu heard this, he flew into a rage, "What are you talking about?" Spreading the net aside, dreaming! If I burn the fire today, wouldn't I have to sell the land tomorrow as well? "You must remember, this is a battle of life and death for our Confucianism …"

"In the face of western learning, we have to not let a single inch, starving to death, big trouble. Let me tell you this, if we can successfully create the Tanggu, then we will have to double the size in less than two years. At that time, our home will have to be surrounded as well. What are we going to wear? "Confused …"

Huang Liu scolded Housekeeper until he was covered in sweat. Finally, he bowed and left, leaving Scholar Huang and his concubinage in the room. Come, come, little Baby, come and get me a leather cup … " Then, the sound of a woman laughing and kissing came from the room. The fire from the brazier was burning in the corner of the room. It was so hot that the apron could not be worn anymore.

The night was getting deeper and the wind and snow was getting stronger. Xiao Letian, who had enjoyed delicious food and wine sat in the study, facing Jiao Si Er who had come to perform.

"Greetings to old master..." This was the land deed that he had received today. The three manors had a total of 300 mu of land, it was a perfect start! "Master, don't worry. Within a month, you'll definitely get your hands on one thousand mu of land for the old master …"

Xiao Letian nodded his head, "Not bad. Although you were a little arrogant before, you still have to put in effort when doing things. Go and find Dragon Lord later to lead these three hundred mu of silver!"

"Many thanks for the lord's reward. Slave has kowtowed to you …" Jiao Si Er could be said to be a typical milkmaid. Now that Xiao Letian held a large amount of silver in his hands, he was even more intimate than his own father. What kind of bullsh * t Ministry of Internal Affairs mission was this? Let's talk after we finish earning the silver.

Xiao Letian gave him a smile and then asked, "There are still 700 mu of missions later, I wonder if you have any miraculous methods?"

"This grandpa will watch. Against these lowly commoners, we'll have the complete set of family heirloom …" Jiao Si Er reported to Xiao Letian in a flattering manner.

Jiao Si did not brag. Just as he was making up his mind to sue Xiao Letian, the henchmen from the Northern Capital City had already started their second step of their plan. A few figures were quietly approaching the ice-cold Villages from the blizzard.

"Quick, quick, quick..." The snow was too heavy. If he didn't hurry up, the road would be sealed. When that time came, he wouldn't be able to run even if he wanted to … At the east side of your two villages, at the west side, the rest of you, follow me. We will identify the yard s according to what happened during the day, and after getting them, each of you will run away, returning to reunite in the city … "

Under the lead of the leader, the figures disappeared into the darkness of Villages. At almost the same time, the village watchdogs started barking. Perhaps because they were cold and hungry, the dogs could not even bark.

Village Head's house and the wealthier families in the village, these rich families with horses and oxen in the livestock tent became attacker's target. A few figures flashed on the wall, followed by several rays of black light flying out, almost at the same time, all of the livestock sheds exploded.

The flying Wu Guang was as fast as snow as an axe. The high speed spinning axe was directly aimed at the large animal, the heavy iron weapon instantly cut through flesh, the blade edge embedded into the bone.

This time, the pot exploded. The docile old Yellow Ox snapped the rope with a 'moo' and smashed into half of the mud wall of the room, causing it to collapse. Some of them had their necks cut off by blades, while some of them had their heads hit, causing the fleeing Villages s to be thrown into chaos.

"Retreat …" "Hurry up and retreat …" ambusher, who got away with his attack, ran out of the village without any hesitation. When Wu Tie and the others got out of the hot blanket, these people had already run away until only their backs could be seen.

Villages had already exploded completely, the sound of crying and cursing shot straight up to the clouds. Looking at the large animal that had been killed, many of the elderly could not take the blow and fainted right then and there in the snow.

"What a wicked person, what a wicked person …" "Is this even letting us live? animal, animal can't even be compared to you …"

"Let's report it to the officials, we can only report it to the officials. It must be those foreigners from this morning, let's go to the The yamen of the same knowledge to report to the officials, those bunch of rascals!"

The hot-blooded youngsters grabbed their hoes, forks, sickles and the like and wanted to rush towards Tanggu City, but Village Head stopped them.

"What do you all want? What do you all want? Do you want to rebel? Since it's already curfew in the city at night, you guys are planning to rebel by raiding people into the city. When that happens, the Old Master can send troops to suppress you.

"Bastard is waiting for you guys to cause trouble so they can catch you guys easily. When the time comes, you guys will have to sell your houses and land as well …"

What Village Head said was the truth, but young people were not people who could be persuaded with a single sentence. They looked at the large animal that was twitching in the pool of blood, and all of them cried in pain.

"These livestock are the lives of our entire village. These big fellows relied on these livestock to plow the ground in the early spring, killing them is equivalent to killing my family. "How can we live next year …"

Not to mention a vet, even if there was a vet, it would still be useless. Such a big wound that was deep enough to see bones, there was no way to treat it, the only outcome for the livestock lying on the ground was killing them to eat their flesh.

"I won't be able to live this long …" Finally, someone broke down. A woman in crowdzhong ran out like she couldn't take any more blows. "I'm going back to my parents' home. I can't live anymore. How can I live …" In the end, he tripped over something and fell flat on his face.

The woman was trapped in the snow. She didn't get up but started crying. Soon after, crowdzhong also started crying.

"The old people and the children and the women all go home and all the men form a team... Tomorrow morning, I will enter the city. I will go to The yamen of the same knowledge to complain, I don't believe that there is no law under the heavens! " Village Head said fiercely.
