Chapter 169 Between good and evil(1/2)
"Where is the chief village leader?"
"Chief Village Chief, who is this blind person who offended your old man?"
"The chief of the village, let Liu chop him up alive!"
...
In less than an hour, the village owners and deputy village owners of various water villages in Taihu rushed over, and they were all moaning.
When I entered the room, I saw a dozen people standing in the corner with their heads down, and Lawrence Lu was sitting in the middle, his face as sinking as water, and he didn't say a word.
"Chief Village Leader, what kind of regulations do you have? Everyone is here."
Finally, Liu Laosan, who was relatively close to Lu Guanying in the main village, braved the courage to step forward and talk.
"Are you all here? So, as for me, Lu Guanying, I am still of some use in this Taihu Water Village?"
Lu Guanying didn't even raise his eyelids and said "yin and yang strangely".
"General Village Master, look at what you said. Except for the old village master, in Taihu Water Village, your words are absolutely true, and they are more effective than imperial edicts."
Liu Laosan didn't know what was going on, so he could only follow Lu Guanying's words, but in his heart he scolded the guy who had angered Lu Guanying half to death.
"Really? I didn't know my words were so effective?"
Lu Guanying opened his eyes, stood up, walked around the room twice, and looked at the village leader and deputy village master in front of him.
The few of these people have three to five hundred people under them, and the large ones can have over a thousand people.
There are more than a dozen water villages, large and small, and the total number of people now exceeds 5,000, and those directly belonging to Lu Guanying are only 600, not counting the 500 villagers of "Guiyun Village".
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
Therefore, last month, Lu Guanying, at the prompting of his father, promulgated some "rules", which were nothing more than to restrict each village.
In fact, the overall reputation of Taihu Water Village is quite good.
They rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to drink water. The huge Taihu Lake is enough to support these people.
Not to mention that in the Taihu Lake area, each village also has its own legitimate businesses, shops, restaurants, teahouses, boat shops, etc.
Therefore, it is very rare for strong men to dominate women and oppress good people. Many people come from poor backgrounds and are mostly local folks.
But some time ago, these people came from the north one after another. After staying in Taihu Lake for a period of time, their true colors were revealed.
Lu Guanying also heard some bad news, but it was still within the range he could accept. In order to prevent the slightest change, he promulgated some "rules".
At the same time, Lu Wei was asked to send people to focus on the water village where Qian Liu belonged, which was also a gathering place for bandits from the north.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Guanying returned to "Guiyun Village" tonight, Lu Wei came to report that Qian Liuyi and his gang had robbed a woman in Taihu Lake.
This might not be a big deal in other cottages, but it is not a big deal in Taihu Water Village, especially since the "rules" have just been promulgated. This is a slap in the face.
Only then did Lu Guanying personally lead two hundred elite villagers to kill Qian Liu's water village.
Arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. At the critical moment, he kicked in the door and rescued Cheng Yaojia.
He also asked people to notify the "Open Xiangtang", which was to "kill one person to serve as a warning to others".
"Lu Wei, reiterate the ban announced last month."
Lu Wei was already prepared. He took out a piece of paper and read it aloud.
"Everyone, our Taihu water village is in disarray. Not only do we have to face suppression by the local government, but our own people sometimes kill each other."
"Even so, the big guys may not be able to have a full stomach, let alone support their families."
"Everyone trusts us, father and son, and is willing to unite and let me, Lu Guanying, stretch my hair. Even if Lu has little talent and knowledge, he is willing to work hard for this career with his brothers."
"But today, there are people who ignore the 'rules' promulgated by Mr. Lu and rob men and dominate women. They want to ruin the reputation of our Taihu Water Village. This is damaging the foundation of our Taihu Water Village."
"Liu Laosan, let me ask you, how would you deal with such a thing?"
"It goes without saying that the mild case is 'three cuts and six holes', but the serious case is that Liu will cut it open for you without the need for the general to take action and leave it to dry."
In the entire Taihu Water Village, Liu Laosan is worthy of being Lu Guanying's best "praise" candidate.
This old man also has seven or eight hundred brothers, because Lu Chengfeng once saved his life in the early years, and now he wholeheartedly follows the Lu family and his son.
"Where are the other village owners?"
Lu Guanying was very satisfied with Liu Laosan's performance and looked around at the other village leaders.
"Three swords and six holes..."
"Chop him, chop him..."
"Not killing is not enough to stabilize the morale of the military, not killing is not enough to make the civilians angry..."
Everyone was eager to show their loyalty, adjusting their book bags and pulling out their words.
"Chief Village Master, I was wrong. I don't dare to do anything anymore. They are the ones who instigated me. I drank two cups of horse urine in one moment before doing such a thing. I beg the Chief Village Master to give me some time to stay."
A way to survive..."
Qian Liu, who was hiding in the crowd, was so frightened that he wet his pants when he saw this situation.
He squeezed out of the crowd, knelt down on the ground, and crawled up to Lawrence Lu.
"Bah, it turns out it's your grandson who has learned how to snatch men and dominate women? I've long disliked you."
When Liu Laosan saw Qian Liu crawling over, he went up and said "Ding Dong Wu Si" and just started talking.
I cried so much during the fight that I lost several molars.
"Okay, Liu Laosan, you don't have to hit him anymore."
"Qian Liu, let me ask you, did you send someone to snatch this woman?" Lu Guanying asked calmly.
"Yes...it's a small one that was robbed, but..."
"Okay, you can grab it. Did you intend to be frivolous with her just now?" Lawrence Lu continued to ask.
"Yes... I drank two more drinks and couldn't control myself for a while, but..."
"Qian Liu, I won't say much else, just 'a strong man dominates a woman' and 'forcibly insults a good woman'. With these two items, I, Lawrence Lu, can't keep you."
"Someone, push Qian Liu out, chop him off, and hang his head on the flagpole at the entrance of the village."
"Starting from tomorrow, let all the brothers in Taihu Water Village come and see what will happen to those who do not follow the rules and do evil."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In addition, tonight, all these people in the house will be pulled down, beaten with forty sticks, and driven out of the Taihu Water Village."
"Liu Laosan, Qian Liu's people, you review them one by one, and those with bad behavior will be kicked out directly. Those who want to stay will be assigned to your staff from now on."
Without giving everyone a chance to react, Lu Guanying acted decisively and settled tonight's matter, which also eliminated the hidden dangers of the past few months.
Lu Wei and Liu Laosan were left to deal with the aftermath, and Lu Guanying, the boss, was left free.
"Ah sneeze——"
The sound of sneezing came from the corner.
Lu Guanying seemed to have just remembered the kidnapped woman, and wanted to arrange for her to find a place to live first, but found that everyone in the house had already left.
What is going on? Are you all so blind?
"Um...girl, are you okay?"
Lu Guanying didn't know what to ask. As soon as he said this, the woman in the corner actually burst into tears.
Now, Lawrence Lu was even more at a loss.
He hurriedly came to the front and wanted to explain that he was not a "bad person".
But he found that the woman was sobbing non-stop, her face was extremely red, and her eyes were slightly blurred.
"girl--"
Lawrence Lu called, but got no response.
Taking courage, he stretched out his hand and touched her forehead. It was very hot to the touch.
Lu Guanying didn't care so much, wrapped her cloak tightly, hugged her and walked out.
"Lu Wei, Lu Wei, give me the horse on your back——"
Lu Wei, who had been guarding the door, quickly led Lu Guanying's horse, and he also led a team of villagers to get on the horse.
Lu Guanying ignored them. He held the woman in one hand, gathered the silk rein in the other, put the stirrup on the saddle, mounted the horse, clicked the stirrup with both feet, and flew straight to the village gate.
"Everyone, hurry up and follow -"
Lu Wei also hurriedly greeted the villagers, but he was thinking in his heart.
"Young Master, are you too impatient? You just finished punishing others, and you 'brazenly' hugged the girl and drove away. By the way, is this really good?"
Lu Guanying rushed all the way, entered the gate of "Guiyun Village", and called out.
"Someone, go and fetch the doctor from the village, hurry."
Before he finished speaking, he disappeared and ran directly back to his residence on horseback.
In the middle of the night, I was galloping all the way through "Guiyun Village", holding an unconscious woman in my arms, and Lu Wei and the others, two hundred people, were following them into the village.
