Chapter 845 Resistance
In the thirty-second year of the old Jing calendar, spring just entered February, and a storm that had never been seen before began to slowly turn from the dark to the bright. Moreover, this wave of turmoil did not start to spread from the densely populated big cities as before, but instead started in the mountains, often wreaking havoc towards inaccessible places.
Therefore, there are almost no waves in this turmoil in the city, and the people who know about it are limited to some well-informed people, and since the matter has nothing to do with oneself, there is no need to spread it around.
Conversely, for those remote villages that are usually far away from the hustle and bustle of towns, this storm has blown into the hearts of the people from the ground.
Liwang Village. In the corner of Lianfeng City, next to the border of Jingxi, it is even further away from the town than to the border of Jingbei. It belongs to the most remote part of the village in Jingxi's jurisdiction.
All the people in the village have the same surname, and people with other surnames are not allowed to settle in the village. Now Liwang Village is considered a relatively large village, with a total of eighty-six households. A dozen or so.
The most useful person in Liwang Village is not the head of the village, nor the gentry of a big family, but the head of the clan. Even if the patriarch opened his mouth for such a big matter, all the young and old in the village would follow it, but anyone who dared to resist would be dealt with directly by the family law.
Speaking of family law, the family law of this kind of big clan is lynching, and its cruelty is not much lighter than those in the yamen dungeon, and the most serious punishment will also take life.
However, it is precisely because of this strict clan concept that the entire Liwang Village has continued the family tradition since hundreds of years ago, forming a unique heritage and customs.
If a family wants to survive for hundreds of years, it must not rely on itself alone. At least the population must have a large enough flow to bring vitality. Otherwise, these dozens of families will collapse if they can’t use it for decades, let alone hundreds of years. Lose.
Therefore, there are three remote mountain villages of similar size adjacent to Liwang Village, and they build a virtuous circle of mutual population flow.
And the three villages with the same surname as Liwang Village are also of the same surname, and the conditions in the villages are similar.
It is not a good thing for Guochao if the voice of the clan is too loud, it will hinder the rule to a certain extent, and even the laws of Guochao have been attenuated to a certain extent in these places.
The main reason for this situation is "too far away".
The Jingjiu Dynasty is too big. Such a large territory can be ruled as impregnable as it is today. The root cause is that the existence of the teleportation circle shortens the sense of distance infinitely, and it is also like chains that tightly tie all places to Jingjiu. On the chariot towards the north. But this is talking about the general direction, and it is meaningless to small places like Liwang Village. It takes two days for people to go to the town by bullock cart. How many days do you think it takes to go from the big city? It won't be there in ten or so days!
It is precisely because of this kind of place that is not covered by the teleportation circle that many people in the village have never been to places farther than the town in their entire lives. Most of them were gradually formed from the clan itself, with very little external influence.
In the center of Liwang Village, there is the tallest and largest building in the village, the ancestral hall. This is the core of Liwang Village, where the daily clan elder meetings are held here, and all important events are held here.
In the back room of the ancestral hall, in a secluded secret room, five patriarchs and elders of Liwang Village sat together, each with serious expressions.
"Brother, what should we do now? Why are you really confronting Xuan Qingwei?" An old man with half-white hair sitting at the bottom spoke hurriedly, as if he was very anxious.
"So what about Xuanqingwei? This is Liwang Village! It's our Li family's territory!" Sitting at the top and in the middle is the patriarch of Liwang Village and also the Great Elder of the Ancestral Hall Presbyterian Church, Li Yanqing. And here are the five people from the Elder's House, gathered together.
Li Yanqing was nearly eighty years old, but his body was very strong, his face was reddish, and he looked like an old man with a hot temper. Now he patted the armrest of the chair vigorously, his tone was filled with anger, and a bit of majesty radiated from his body.
The members of the Li family came from generation to generation, and now these people in the elders' house are all brothers of the same generation, so when there is no one else around, they call each other according to the number of lines.
"But big brother, that's Xuan Qingwei! He kills without batting an eyelid, if he goes against them, he might offend them."
Before Li Yanqing could speak, the person on the left took over and said, "So what if you are offended? There are nearly a thousand people in Liwang Village, and there are thousands of people in the three villages of my in-laws. How dare they kill them? Hmph! People can only bluff, look at what they have done recently? Put up a bullshit copper cabinet to provoke our clan to fight! Wolf ambition is simply too arrogant!
What's more, you want to interfere with our customs that have been around for hundreds of years. What kind of evil cultivator is the reason? They can also think of this kind of excuse to coax the little doll. In addition to the fields, we have mountains and forests here, and our families are all mountain people. What can evil monks plot?
I see, isn't it those Xuan Qingwei who are really uneasy and kind? Our Liwang Village must not bow to them, otherwise there will be no peace in the future! "
Of the five elders, four of them were obviously on the sidelines, and the remaining one didn't hold any objections, but was just uneasy.
That's Xuan Qingwei! Even though it was rare to see Xuan Qingwei coming to such a remote place as Liwang Village, how can he not be afraid of his vicious reputation? However, the situation in Liwang Village is indeed special. For hundreds of years, the yamen rarely came here, let alone Xuanqingwei? So in the end, even though the person felt uneasy, he didn't continue to speak, and he accepted most of the opinions.
Seeing the last person, Li Yanqing nodded in satisfaction. He has been the patriarch of Liwang Village for more than 30 years. Who dislikes him inside and out? The people in the Presbyterian Church were all brothers he was familiar with, and it was his expectation that the consensus of opinion would be reached now.
Li Yanqing raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "To be precise, this time it was a bastard called Black Flag Camp set up by Xuan Qingwei, and their people started the matter, what kind of bullshit preaching team they formed Talking nonsense everywhere, relying on some small favors is like fooling the village, it's an asshole.
I have already contacted Sancun, and they basically have the same idea as us, there is only one method: ignore it!
No matter what they preach or what benefits they give, don’t bother with them, and it’s best not to even look at them. Just let those people in the Black Flag Camp work for nothing, and see what else they can do. "
"What about Mengxue?"
"Mengxue fart! Don't we have Mengxue in our village? Add some money to the ancestral hall to build a bigger school. Whose children in the village can't get in? Why do you go to the Black Flag Camp for Mengxue?"
