Chapter 71 The Unknown Side of Zhu Di

In the silence with only cicadas, wind, running water and snoring.

It makes people nervous.

It is late at night.

When the moon is about to set.

In the shed in front, figures sneak out one by one.

About a hundred people gathered in the reeds under the river bank.

The leading man asked: "Is the venomous snake ready?"

"Ready." Someone answered.

Someone else asked, "Boss Liu, is it really okay not to extract the snake's teeth?"

"According to our plan, we just need to kill Zhu Silang. Those people in Tuqiao Village will lose their backbone and will definitely secretly hand over the money and grilled fish."

"But if we don't extract the snake's teeth, what if too many people are bitten to death, will it make things worse?"

Humph!

The man called Liu Lao Da snorted coldly, "If anyone is afraid, you can go back now and continue to pretend to sleep!"

"You are not evil and cruel, but you still want to get rich?"

"If there are too many dead, just light a fire and burn them."

"When the time comes, just say that the people from Tuqiao Village set the shed on fire themselves."

Someone immediately reminded: "There are so many people on the river bank, what if someone tells on them?"

Sneer!

"Those villagers who can't even fart after being beaten with a stick?" Liu Lao Da sneered disdainfully, "Let's kill Zhu Silang and his men, unite to warn those honest villagers, and make sure they don't dare to fart!"

"Use the hundred or so taels of silver that Zhu Silang earned in three days to bribe the yamen runners in charge of the area."

"Agree with the yamen runners on the amount of tribute."

"The day for our brothers to turn over is coming!"

"In the future, you don't have to go back to the village and suffer the pain of farming. You can settle down in this county and dominate the area!"

...

This Liu Lao Da is obviously a smart man.

They have actually started planning for the future.

And it is very feasible.

If they succeed in what happened tonight, they can establish a foothold on the Qinhuai River with the help of grilled fish.

Perhaps it won't be long before a gang organization that colludes with low-level yamen runners will appear in Jiangning County.

This fantasy stimulated the others to breathe rapidly.

"Let's do it!"

"Boss Liu, you must remember your promise, we will share the good and the bad!"

"Yes, we brothers will follow you to do this murder and robbery, and we will lose our heads. Afterwards, you must not take all the benefits for yourself!"

...

After whispering, Boss Liu stood up and issued an order: "Walk along the river bank, and when you reach the location of the shed in Tuqiao Village, go up the river bank."

"Those who play with snakes, throw the poisonous snakes into the shed as soon as possible!"

"Then we will guard outside. If one rushes out, we will form a group of five or six, rush up, beat them hard, and beat them to death!"

"We are not afraid of being beaten to death, but we must not let them have the opportunity to fight back or escape!"

...

More than a hundred figures, some carrying bags, some holding sticks, marched along the river bank, heading straight to the place where Zhu Di and others were selling fish.

After arriving, they crouched and walked up the river bank.

Came to the outside of the shed.

Boss Liu waved his hand.

Three young men carrying snake bags approached on tiptoe and carefully rolled up a corner of the curtain.

Picking up the snake with a stick, they threw it into the shed.

Pah pah pah…

The sound of the snake falling on the bamboo bed startled Zhu Di and others hiding behind.

Hiss hiss hiss…

The frightened snakes made hissing sounds one after another.

Uncle Ba’s face was dark, and he whispered: "Silang, it's a snake!"

While speaking, Uncle Ba wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in fear.

Although it was not a fire that burned the shed.

But poisonous snakes can still cause chaos.

Zhu Di’s face was ashen, and he was also a little scared. He whispered: "Notify everyone to follow me, along the shed, and quietly go to the front."

After speaking, Zhu Di moved barefoot and tiptoed.

Others waved back and signaled to follow.

In front of the shed.

The snake was thrown in, but there was no movement.

Someone asked nervously: "Big Brother Liu, why is there no movement?"

"These people in Tuqiao Village sleep so soundly?"

"It's a bit strange. Why don't people in Tuqiao Village snore?" Someone else whispered.

"Because we are waiting for you!" A cold voice suddenly sounded from the right side of the shed.

Zhu Di slowly got up.

"I've been fooled!"

"The people in Tuqiao Village didn't sleep at all!"

...

An uneasy and frightened voice sounded from behind Big Brother Liu.

Zhu Di shouted: "Uncle Eight, lead everyone to show no mercy, don't be afraid of killing people!"

Before the shout fell, he rushed out.

Before, he really didn't think so cruel.

Until the other party released the snake, he changed his mind!

Big Brother Liu's face changed several times, and he shouted: "What are you afraid of? There are more than 100 of us, and they only have 48 people! Go, kill them!"

After the voice fell, in order to encourage others, Big Brother Liu rushed out first.

Holding a stick as thick as an arm, he ran straight to Zhu Di. Although the plan was inconsistent, Liu Lao Da was still confident.

Except for Yang Ba, who was an old soldier, and Zhu Silang, who was a scholar, the people in Tuqiao Village were all honest farmers.

On the other hand, they usually stole chickens and dogs, or fought and helped the gentry to collect rent.

"We have many people, so we are not afraid!"

"Kill these people in Tuqiao Village, and the silver and the secret recipe of grilled fish will all be ours!"

...

Liu Lao Da took the lead, and the effect was still very obvious. Others shouted, picked up sticks, and rushed up.

At this time.

Zhu Di and Liu Lao Da have already faced each other.

Liu Lao Da smiled cruelly, raised his stick with both hands, and smashed Zhu Di on the head.

Too slow!

Zhu Di raised the corner of his lips slightly and dodged sideways.

While Liu Lao Da was shocked, he had already rushed towards Liu Lao Da.

All the strength in his body was poured into his arms, carrying the inertia of his body.

Raise his arms and bend his elbows.

Bang!

The elbow joint hit Liu Lao Da's chest hard.

Elbow to the top!

Crack!

Ah!

The sound of the sternum breaking sounded, and when Liu Lao Da was thrown backwards, he screamed in pain.

Lan Yu couldn't bear it.

What about a young rascal!

Liu Lao Da was defeated in one blow, and the other young rascals were scared silly.

"Charge! Beat them to death!" Uncle Yang, an old soldier, would not miss such an opportunity. He shouted and rushed even harder.

Leading a group of villagers, he rushed into the crowd, swinging a stick, swinging it vigorously.

The others gathered together and followed Uncle Yang to pick up the leaks.

Originally, the young men had a great advantage against Uncle Yang and his group.

But Zhu Di severely injured Boss Liu with one blow, which shattered the courage of the other young men.

Facing Uncle Yang and the villagers' fierce attack, they collapsed in an instant and fled in panic.

Zhu Di saw that the villagers were fine, so he did not join them. He walked to Boss Liu and squatted down...

Cough cough...

Boss Liu kept coughing up blood and stared at Zhu Di with fear in his eyes.

Zhu Di stared coldly, using his body to block the villagers who were awakened and standing in the distance, watching in fear. He gently pinched Liu Lao Da's neck and asked softly: "Tell me, is there anyone behind you?"

"Cao Yayi, Cao Yayi supports me to do this!"

"Who is behind Cao Yayi? Do you know who asked Cao Yayi to do this?" Zhu Di asked immediately.

Cao Yayi is the Yayi in charge of the village where Liu Lao Da belongs.

The other party is eyeing the grilled fish business, so it is possible to do this.

But releasing the snake is clearly to kill everyone in Tuqiao Village.

Does Cao Yayi really have such ruthless courage?

Maybe?

But he wondered if some people wanted him dead?

"I don't know, I only know Cao Yayi, Zhu Silang, please spare me this time, please..."

Ka!

Zhu Di twisted his wrist lightly, and a creepy sound came from Liu Lao Da's neck. Liu Lao Da's eyes widened and stared at Zhu Di abruptly.

Observe the surroundings with the corner of his eyes.

Make sure no one is paying attention to this side.

Zhu Di took his hand back calmly.

If there is someone behind Cao Yayi, Liu Lao Da is a gift to this person.

Tell the other party not to go too far, not to be aggressive, and not to push people to the edge!

Of course, it is best if there is nothing.
