Chapter 034 Chief
There is no Yaxing to see Lin Zimo, who fought with people in the two villages, and cares about matters related to the water conservancy project under its jurisdiction. I know that the contradiction node to solve their long-standing problems is to solve the distribution of water. He had a spectrum in his heart, and he didn't order to move forward until they hit the human brain into a pig's brain and almost beat it.
Lin Zimo, who was calm and waveless, sat on the horse and ordered Wang Daniel to find the patriarch of Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village. Wang Xiaoliu, who led his five men to escort him, did not wait for the order to attack, so he felt very disappointed. However, Wang Xiaoliu still did not relax his vigilance and beware of the changes in emergencies around him.
Chu Erlang, who did not dare to be careless, lined up his men and horses in a half-moon formation around Lin Zimo. Seeing a lot of red blood and hearing the painful groan, Lin Zimo turned over and dislod his horse and stood patiently waiting for the patriarch of the two families behind his hands. He felt that the two villagers were both pitiful and hateful. If I hadn't treated these people as ignorant people, I would have ordered to attack them. Even if there is a big killing, you can always find a suitable and legitimate excuse to perfunctory the relevant. Although the number of people participating in group fights and fighting in the two villages is no match for Chu Erlang, a well-equipped and well-trained officer and army.
When the patriarchs of the two villages heard that the magistrate came in person, they did not show a sense of flattery. They each led four strong men of the same clan to come to Lin Zimo without hurry. Lin Zimo was very unhappy to see these two old guys in front of him, but forcibly suppressed the nameless fire that had just emerged. At least he is a civilian, and he has to show a little elegance and necessary cultivation, so he doesn't want to argue with the two old guys.
"When you see the magistrate, you all kneel down." Wang Xiaoliu, who saw them not salute their master for a long time, said harshly.
I felt that Lin Zimo was a fierce head of the Ma family, and concluded that the other party's subordinates were just scaring themselves. After all, he had not intervened when he saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers for a long time. I thought it was because of their timidity. Relying on decades of life experience, he concluded that the government had gone through the motions again and wanted to blackmail some benefits.
"The little old man's legs and feet are not convenient. I hope you can forgive me." The horse patriarch, without any movement, said in a light tone.
The arrogant cow patriarch said more coldly, "Your excellency asked me to come. What's the matter?"
Lin Zimo, who solved the problem, noticed that the strong men behind them learned the same thing and did not kneel down to themselves. Although he despised this inequality in his heart, he had to care about it at this time. If he doesn't gnaw to express a kind of acquiescence, they won't treat their own Anqing magistrate as a matter.
"Since the legs and feet of the two patriarchs are inconvenient, then they are exempt from etiquette. As for the four men behind you, their legs and feet must be inconvenient. Lin Zimo, who smiled strangely, calmly ordered, "Since it is inconvenient to have young legs and feet, it is useless to stay, so I will cut off the legs of their eight people."
Wang Xiaoliu and Chu Erlang, who heard carefully and understood, immediately ordered their subordinates to do things. They thought that Lin Zimo was pretending to scare each other and still didn't treat it as a thing. Eight strong men who were not afraid of the government in their hearts simply thought that their clan was powerful and not afraid of anyone, so they resisted directly and started their hands.
For a long time, there were some uncontrollable Wang Xiaoliu, who pulled out the steel knife around his waist and said loudly, "Damn it, take it all."
In an instant, a group of people fought together. Wang Xiaoliu and Chu Erlang wanted to catch them alive, so they ordered their men not to pull out the knives. Eight farmers can't be their opponents to make a living with knives. In addition to being beaten black and blue, they were tied up by five flowers. The eight people are as strong as zongzi.
The two patriarchs who wanted to put pressure on Lin Zimo wanted the government to release them, so they shouted outside a few times and encouraged some exhausted clans to gather around. On the one hand, they couldn't see the people in the village being bullied, and on the other hand, they had never seen the local government, so they gathered with officers and soldiers with sticks.
"Your Excellency, you'd better let my people go quickly. There are hundreds of people here. If you don't think it's enough, I can also call the others left in the village. I feel that the government is a bully bully and afraid of the strong. It has always believed that many people and power is the capital of negotiation, showing a self-righteous side.
The Ma people standing next to him can't lose the confidence of the Ma surname. Wen Qian said, "Your Excellency, public opinion cannot be violated."
Lin Zimo, with a peaceful face, raised his head and sneered, "Are you threatening this house? I tell you that there are more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in Anhua City. Even if I can't transfer them for a while, more than 100 people here are enough for the people in your two villages. If you don't want to see the blood flowing into a river and destroying the villages and the people, please restrain me.
The two family leaders looked at each other, showing disapproval, and did not show a tendency to stop the further expansion of the situation. In their minds, they have not taken the local government seriously for a long time. As for the officers and soldiers stationed here, their thinking consciousness is still in the past style.
Lin Zimo, who realized that the two didn't believe his words, really didn't want to give this order and said, "They still dare to take a step closer to kill without mercy. Chu Erlang, go and tell the surrounding villagers in person.
Chu Erlang put his fists in his hands and went to pass on his words to them in person. Wang Xiaoliu, who had begun to boil blood, cut off the legs of the eight people first. Their screams echoed in the air for a long time. Wang Xiaoliu, who finished his errand, took the steel knife that was still dripping blood and walked back to Lin Zimo's side to return to his life.
"Two patriarchs, are you going to continue to fight against the government and be accused of a traitor, or order your villagers not to do such a senseless stupid thing?" Lin Zimo, who couldn't take his eyes off, said solemnly without a smile: "The combat effectiveness of this army has been tested by a Qiang tribe. If you don't believe it, come and have a try!"
I didn't expect that Lin Zimo would be such a tough two patriarchs. He had seen eight pairs of legs of living people. He didn't have the courage to resist the court, and he didn't want to end up with the whole clan being killed, so he went to his own clan to carry out the so-called The comfort of emotions. He had long noticed that the villagers in front of them had already set up an attack position. They did not see fear from the faces of the officers and soldiers, but saw a little excitement and a little wealth.
Although Lin Zimo and Wang Daniu, who ran errands in front of him, saw this dangerous situation for the first time, he had heard his uncle say that his master was a hero, so he did not feel too much fear. He pulled out the long knife at his waist and took the initiative to stand in front of his master to protect him. At this moment, Lin Zimo is calm. I have long seen that the patriarchs of the Niu family and the Ma family are not stupid and confused. They just misjudged him as the same as their predecessors.
The villagers who stood still and did not move forward slowly calmed down. Their patriarch took eight more clans to carry out their own people who were beheaded by Wang Xiaoliu. The head of Niu and Ma came back to Lin Zimo and bowed to him respectfully. He was calm and could see that the two of them knew the rules temporarily.
After the two stood up and stood firm, Lin Zimo said both softly and hard: "I don't want to see similar incidents happen again. As for the water problem in your two villages, the government office will properly solve it for you. If you both have to do something wrong, I will not hesitate to use your villagers to test the knife.
Without the previous arrogant and disrespectful two patriarchs, they returned to the attitude they should have when they saw the magistrate. He nodded and said that the two were submissively, without old-eyed eyes. When they saw Lin Zimo's decisiveness and vigorous behavior when he ordered before, they knew that he was not a good stubble. If they really fight against the same government, then there will be no good fruit to eat. Moreover, another calculation of the two is that they can't take advantage of each other, so they chose to wait and see what happens.
Lin Zimo saw that Che Zijin, who was standing not far away, had not recovered from the fear just now and introduced: "This is an official who knows water conservancy in the government office. You can discuss your relevant questions with him in detail and work out a best plan together. It is a matter of the government to build water conservancy, so it will pay for you.
The two patriarchs who heard this were not overjoyed. After all, for decades, they had heard too many such words, but they did not see a penny invested by the officials. Hopes turned into disappointment again and again, causing them to lose confidence and loyalty to the local government, so that the two villages had to solve it by illegal and violent means.
Lianlian shook his head to express his unwillingness to stay here alone, and was afraid that the unruly people in the two villages would slaughter themselves. After all, the violent scene had just subsided. In front of Lin Zimo and the two patriarchs, he repeatedly said that he wanted to talk about the plan to build water conservancy, and he could go to the government office to talk about it slowly. Lin Zimo, who noticed that Che Zijin lacked some courage, quite understood his mood. At the same time, he can judge that it should not be a problem to leave this matter to him. After all, he answered the relevant terrain and water conservancy questions fluently.
