Chapter 75: Those Who Offend My Mountain Village, Though Far
ally tease women and no one dared to provoke him.However, the women he encountered today were so bold as to dare to resist This made him lose face!At this moment, when Yang Lin entered, he was furious...Zhao Fugui jumped in fright: “What do you want to do Yang Lin, please don’t be impulsive. It’s against tradition for civilians to fight with officials, and we can’t possibly win against them!”
Knowing Black Tiger's identity, he went straight to the village on the mountain. It wasn't hard to analyze who was behind the bandits based on the medicine formula they sought.
Yang Lin nodded. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Zhao Fugui had just breathed a sigh of relief when Yang Lin continued, "Third Uncle, wouldn't you like to be the county magistrate"
Zhao Fu Gui stumbled, almost losing his balance. He widened his eyes in terror and stared at Yang Lin.
"We can't be reckless!"
Yang Lin nodded and said the same thing: “Don't worry, I have it under control.”
It's possible that Heaven itself wanted to wash away the blood stains from Kaoshan Village. That night, when Zhang Laotou and Zhou Li were laid to rest, a heavy downpour began, accompanied by thunder and lightning!
Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed.
Torrential rain pours down, heaven and earth weep together!
Nearly all the villagers in Koushan Village stood solemnly before two freshly dug graves.
>Tomorrow morning, we'll set off for the county town!!
Yang Lin shouted loudly.
With that final word spoken, a thunderous boom shook the earth, as if proclaiming the bloody rebirth of Kaoshan Village!
Early the next morning, almost the entire village of Koushan came out!
The villagers beat drums and played gongs, escorting the four surviving bandits. With sixteen captured horses, they dragged the remaining twelve bandit corpses towards Jianghe County.
Two and a half hours later, when the large group from Koushan Village appeared in Jianghe County town, it immediately caught the attention of the townspeople who gathered around to watch the commotion.
When the people saw that it was corpses being dragged along, they were shocked and dismayed!
After dragging for dozens of miles, the bodies of these ten bandits were torn and bloody!
On the long street, wherever one goes, there remains a trail of crimson footprints.
The townspeople were all stunned, not knowing what had happened.
In this era of inconvenient communication and limited entertainment, people enjoyed gathering in crowds. Even something as gruesome as a public beheading at the market square would attract a large audience. Therefore, even though the scene was terrifying, people still followed along on both sides of the queue, eager to find out what was happening.
And soon, some people recognized these bodies.
"Oh, I remember now! Those fellows came through a few days ago. They were so arrogant when they entered the city, riding their horses and bumping into people!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know about that day. My neighbor Lao Zhang's kid got hit by these guys' horses."
"But what's going on here, how did they all die"
"Oh my, look! That big man with a dark face in front, it seems like…it seems like Heihu!"
"What Black Tiger The Black Tiger from Mount Heifeng"
"No way, I heard Black Tiger was the biggest bandit in the Jianghe River. How did he die"
"Could it be that the soldiers are suppressing bandits"
"What are you talking about In all these years, who has ever seen the magistrate go out to suppress bandits"
"Well, look at these people. They don't seem like officials; they're more like country bumpkins."
"With so many of them, they must be bandits raiding a village and were ambushed by the villagers."
"How is that possible! Where did such a bold villager come from To dare fight bandits Besides, even if they 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 of the county city center, taking off one bloody and mutilated corpse after another from their horses and laying them out flat.
Immediately, Yang Lin led everyone off the carriage and took out one wooden box after another, placing them on the ground.
The crowd of ordinary people grew larger and larger, soon forming a tightly packed throng. It was rare for anything major to happen in this small county town, which had remained peaceful for many years. With such excitement unfolding before them, the townspeople certainly wouldn't miss it.
What is this for
I don't know.
"You see, there are still some alive."
Amidst the bustling chatter of the crowd, Yang Lin ascended to a higher vantage point.
Yang Lin shouted loudly, “I’m Yang Lin from Kaoshan Village! Some of you might have heard of me. Yes, I’m the Yang Lin who sells medicinal water!”
When you say the name Yang Lin, not many people would know it.
But when it comes to medicine, there's almost nobody who 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 Kaoshan Village and find Yang Lin!
But the price, only ten taels of silver per barrel, discouraged many small workshops.
More importantly, now the medicine business is almost monopolized by the big families in the county towns!
Every three days, when Yang Lin releases ten barrels of medicinal water here, they are immediately snapped up by those big families.
These families that hoard medicinal water are no longer limited to using it for tofu making. Instead, they resell it at a markup, acting as middlemen and selling it separately to small workshops and even surrounding counties, profiting from the difference.
Therefore, when the onlookers heard that the man in front of them was Yang Lin, who sold medicinal water, their interest grew even more.
"As you all can see, there are so many bodies of bandits here. You must all be wondering what happened"
"Actually, things are quite simple. Someone took a liking to my herbal medicine business and thus instigated these bandits to attack my village, wanting to capture me and force me to hand over the formula for my medicine!!"
As soon as Yang Lin spoke, the people began to chatter again.
Many people know that behind the Black Tiger is the support of the Zhou family and Zhao family!
Therefore, many people immediately realized the seriousness of the problem!
"In this battle against the bandits, our mountain village suffered great losses! Two villagers were killed in the fighting while protecting me, Yang Lin! Four others are currently seriously injured and unconscious!!"
The onlookers all had strange expressions on their faces.
Twelve bandits were killed, four were captured, and the entire army was wiped out.
While only two people died in the village of .
This... can't be considered a huge loss, should it It's more like a huge victory, right
However, Yang Lin was indignant and continued to say, "Blood feud, it must be avenged!"
"This blood debt cannot just be left like this!"
"Blood debt, repaid with blood!"
"Bandits kill innocent people indiscriminately, everyone should get rid of them!"
"Today, I'm here to tell everyone, to tell those with ill intentions!"
"Whoever provokes Yang Lin and violates my reliance on the mountain village!"
"Though far, I will surely punish you!!"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the guards immediately pressed down on the four surviving bandits and forced them to kneel on the ground.
Zhong Tao carried the black tiger's large saber in his hand, with bloodshot eyes, he walked forward!
"Boom–!"
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers immediately erupted in chaos.st the bandits, our mountain village suffered great losses! Two villagers were killed in the fighting while protecting me, Yang Lin! Four others are currently seriously injured and unconscious!!"The o...
