Chapter 75: Those Who Dare to Offend My Mountain Village Sha
ation by the esteemed county magistrate, it has been determined that Liu Youcai, a ruffian from Koushan Village, instigated his servants and hired assassins to commit murder. His actions are audacious...Zhao Fugui jumped in fright: "What are you trying to do Yang Lin, please don't be impulsive. The common people have never been able to win against the officials throughout history! We can't possibly beat them!"
Knowing Black Tiger's identity, he went straight to the village at the foot of the mountain from those bandits. For the medicinal formula, it wasn't hard to analyze who was behind the bandits!
Yang Lin nodded. "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Zhao Fuguai had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yang Lin continue, "Third Uncle, would you like to be the county magistrate"
Zhao Fuguai stumbled, nearly losing his balance. He widened his eyes in terror, staring at Yang Lin.
"
We can't just do whatever we want!
"
Yang Lin nodded, still saying the same thing: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
Perhaps Heaven wanted to wash away the bloodshed from Koushan Village. When Zhang Lao and Zhou Li's funerals were held that night, a heavy downpour started with lightning and thunder!
Thunder roared and lightning flashed.
The torrential rain poured down, as if heaven and earth were weeping together!
Almost all the villagers of Koushan Village stood before two freshly dug graves, their expressions grave.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll set off for the county town!!"
Yang Lin shouted loudly.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a thunderous explosion roared, like an announcement of Koushan Village's bloody rebirth!
Early the next morning, nearly the whole village of Koushan went out!
Villagers beat drums and gongs, escorting four surviving bandits. They used the sixteen captured horses to pull the twelve remaining bandit corpses towards Jianghe County.
After more than two hours, when the large group from Kaoshantun village appeared in Jianghe County town, it immediately drew the attention of the county townspeople who swarmed to get a glimpse.
When the people saw that it was a pile of corpses being dragged, the townspeople were shocked!
After being dragged for dozens of miles, the bodies of these ten bandits were torn to shreds, their flesh and blood mangled!
On every street, wherever one walked, a trail of crimson prints was left behind.
The townspeople were dumbfounded, wondering what had happened.
In this era, communication was inconvenient and entertainment was scarce. People enjoyed gathering for any commotion. Even at the market square when someone was beheaded, crowds would gather to watch. Therefore, even though the scene was terrifying, people still followed along on both sides of the queue, wanting to find out what had happened.
...and soon, some people recognized these corpses.
"Oh, I remember now! Those fellows came through here a few days ago. They were so arrogant when they entered the city, riding their horses and knocking over quite a few people!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that day, the kid next door to me, Old Zhang's family, was hit by these guys' horses."
"But what's going on here, how come they are all dead"
"Oh oh oh, look! That big black-faced man in the front, it looks like...it looks like Heihu!"
"What Black Tiger The Black Tiger from Black Wind Mountain"
"No way, I heard that Heihu is the biggest bandit in Jianghe. How could he be dead"
"Could it be that the soldiers have come to suppress the bandits"
"What are you talking about In all these years, who has ever seen the magistrate go to suppress bandits"
"Well, look at these people. They don't seem like officials, more like country folk."
"With so many of them, they must be bandits who came to raid and were countered by a village, right"
"How is that possible! Where on earth did such a tough country bumpkin come from To dare to fight bandits And even if he had the guts, who could possibly stand against them"
"Come on, come on, let's go see what's going on."
The convoy from Koushan Village stopped in the open space at the center of the county town, and one by one, they unloaded the mangled corpses from their mounts and laid them out flat on the ground.
Immediately, Yang Lin led everyone to take down wooden boxes one by one from the carriage and put them on the ground.
As more and more people gathered, they quickly formed a tight crowd. This ordinary small county town hadn't seen anything major happen for many years. With such a commotion, the people naturally wouldn't miss it.
"What are you trying to do"
"I don't know."
"See, there are still some alive."
As the people buzzed with discussion, Yang Lin stepped onto a high platform.
Yang Lin shouted loudly, "I am Yang Lin from Gaoshan Village! Some people may have heard of me, yes, I am the Yang Lin who sells medicine!"
To say the name Yang Lin, not many people know it.
But when it comes to medicine, almost no one doesn't know about it.
It's really the kind of medicinal water that can make tofu, it's too popular!
The method of making tofu, after this period of transmission, has spread throughout the areas surrounding Jianghe County.
As more and more people make tofu, they also know that only that magical potion can make tofu!
As for how to buy that kind of medicine, many people know: go to Yangshen Village and find Yang Lin!
However, at a price of just ten taels of silver per barrel, many small workshops were deterred from participating.
More importantly, nowadays the medicine business is almost monopolized by prominent families in the county!
Every three days, when Yang Lin releases ten barrels of medicine water here, they are immediately snapped up by those big families.
These families who buy up medicinal water are no longer limited to using it for tofu. They resell it at a markup, acting as middlemen and selling it separately to small workshops, and even surrounding counties, making a profit from the process.
Therefore, when the onlookers heard that the man before them was Yang Lin, the famed seller of medicinal waters, their interest grew even further.
"As you can all see, there are so many corpses of bandits here. Everyone must be wondering what happened"
"Actually, things are quite simple. Someone took a liking to my business of selling medicinal water, so they hired these bandits to attack my village and capture me, forcing me to hand over the recipe for the medicinal water!!"
As soon as Yang Lin said this, the common people began to discuss it again.
Many people know that the Black Tiger has been supported by the Zhou family and Zhao family all along!
Therefore, many people immediately realized the seriousness of the problem!
"In this battle against the bandits, our mountain village suffered heavy losses! Two villagers were killed during the fight to protect me, Yang Lin! Four others are currently seriously injured and unconscious!!"
The onlookers wore strange expressions.
Twelve bandits were killed, four captured, and the rest were wiped out.
...but only two people died in the village of Relying on Mountains.
This... can't be considered a huge loss, it should be considered a huge victory, right
However, Yang Lin was still indignant and continued to say, "Blood feud must be avenged!"
"This blood debt cannot just be forgotten!"
"
Blood will be paid for with blood!
"
"Bandits kill innocent people indiscriminately, everyone should punish them!"
"Today, I am here to tell everyone, to tell those with ill intentions!"
"Anyone who provokes Yang Lin or violates my Ankshan Village will face the consequences!"
"Though far, retribution will be swift!!"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the guards had already escorted the four surviving bandits and forced them to kneel on the ground.
Zhong Tao carried the black tiger's big knife, his eyes bloodshot, and strode forward!
"Buzz—"
At that moment, the crowd watching erupted in an uproar.e imperial decree.The courtyard was still tense with the standoff between the commoners and the government officials. Especially under Zhao Deyi's instigation, the officials deliberately provoked the...
