Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup
Chapter 17 Night of Slaying Demons (Part 2)
For the headman of Xixi Village, tonight is definitely the most unforgettable night of his life.
He was sound asleep in his seventh concubine's room when he vaguely sensed that a large number of people had entered the estate.
He then struggled to get out of bed, the firelight filtering through the window making him shudder.
He secretly peeked through the window and saw that the whole manor was full of armed bandits, while the servants of his own manor surrendered one by one.
"We're doomed! Run!"
As a seasoned veteran, he immediately realized that things were not going well.
It's hard to believe that our village is considered a stronghold in the surrounding area, yet it was so easily breached, and the entire village was powerless to resist.
These are some tough guys we absolutely can't mess with, run!
He didn't care about the concubine he had just been having sex with. He hurriedly put on his clothes and slipped out the back door. He ran into his son and the others who were also trying to escape. So the group of people gathered together and ran away.
As it turned out, the direction they ran was exactly the direction Song Wan and his men were guarding. It was like lambs entering a tiger's den; they were completely surrounded.
"Brother, you're so lucky! They made dumplings right away, and they're all here."
Song Wan was overjoyed. This was the first time Liangshan had gone down the mountain to seek justice for the people. Wasn't this Song Wan's achievement the greatest?
"Brother, you've worked hard. Which one is the headman?"
Ren Yuan was also very happy, as it came to him without any effort.
"The old one lying on the ground."
Ren Yuan glanced at the village head lying on the ground. Hmm, you could tell he'd run off in a hurry; he'd even put his shoes on backwards.
Which one is his son?
"this."
Song Wan kicked another young man who was lying on the ground, trembling all over. This man's clothes were even more disheveled.
"Liu Si, take some men and call all the villagers here."
Ren Yuan thought for a moment and then asked Liu Si to call the whole village.
"Chief? Who is this?"
Liu Si was somewhat surprised, wondering what the chieftain was going to do.
“Since we are going to act on behalf of Heaven, we need a public trial. Let’s call all the villagers here and put this guy to the test. Let’s settle our grievances and avenge our grudges! Otherwise people will say that we from Liangshan are slandering him.”
"I'm going right now!"
At first, Liu Si didn't know why he was calling the whole village over, but as soon as he heard his chieftain say that, he immediately led his men to call for help.
This village head has been oppressing the whole village for years. Every single person in the village has a grudge against him.
"Brother, your move was both deadly and psychologically damaging; I admire you."
Yuan Lang admired his chieftain even more. He originally thought that killing the culprit would be enough, but he didn't expect his brother to want a public trial!
Well, is my brother trying to emulate Bao Longtu?
After the trial, he'll be guillotined and that's it!
What a gratifying scene that was!
Moreover, if word gets out about this, the chances of getting Liangshan to act on behalf of Heaven will only increase!
Before long, Liu Si arrived with the entire village, young and old.
The entire village, young and old, was roused in the middle of the night, and everyone was filled with anxiety, wondering what the powerful figure would do this time.
Are you suggesting we kill them to silence them?
"Folks!"
Ren Yuan was already very tall, and his words immediately drew everyone's attention.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor! We, the heroes of Liangshan, have come here today specifically for the sake of the village head of Xixi Village. We have nothing to do with you, fellow villagers! We have invited you all here tonight so that you may witness the fate of this person who has harmed our neighbors!"
Ren Yuan had the appearance of a Vajra, so he was naturally majestic and extraordinary. This time, he used the energy of his dantian to speak, which immediately made everyone in the audience tremble. It seemed that even the cold air in the air was dispelled!
The villagers of Xixi were relieved. Looking at the bound village head and others, they suddenly felt that today they could finally seek justice for their grievances.
"You are the head of Xixi?"
“Right, right, small, petty person.”
The village head was already terrified and somewhat absent-minded. When he saw that Ren Yuan and the others were all tall and strong, he became even more trembling and could barely speak.
"Straighten your tongue before you speak." Yuan Lang kicked the village head, who cried out in pain.
"I ask you, is it true that Xixi Village offers young boys and girls to the River God of the stream every year?"
Ren Yuan certainly wouldn't stop Yuan Lang's actions. In fact, if he weren't the chief of the stronghold and the judge, he would have wanted to kick the village head a few times.
"Fake! Fake! It's all fake, Your Majesty!"
Ren Yuan originally thought that the village head might try to deny it, but to his surprise, he confessed right away!
"The so-called water ghosts and river gods are all fake. It was the county magistrate and his clerks in Yuncheng who made me do this, just so they could pocket an extra sum of money every year and then split it with them. Your Majesty, since ancient times, the common people have never fought against the officials. They are the officials, and I am a commoner. They forced me into this!"
"Fake!!"
Upon hearing this, many of the villagers present were struck dumb. Some even fainted!
"It's fake! It's fake! Give me back my son's life!"
"You beast! My poor child!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please do justice for us! My son was only three years old at the time! He was so young!"
……
"You bastard! Why didn't you say you were forced when you took the money?"
Yuan Lang slapped him hard across the face, causing blood to flow freely from the magistrate's mouth.
"Who is the clerk in Yuncheng County who is connected to you?"
Ren Yuan's face was also ashen. These people really didn't care about the lives of ordinary people in order to make money!
Young boys and girls, killed without a second thought, have they no humanity left?
"His surname is Song! That man's surname is Song! I only know that there is one clerk named Song in Yuncheng County!"
"Brother, it must be Song Jiang! It seems that the scoundrel is generous with his money, but it's all ill-gotten gains! Bah! Does he even deserve to be called Timely Rain? I'm ashamed to even share his surname!"
Upon hearing this, Song Wan muttered curses under his breath, even showing his displeasure at sharing the same surname.
"Hmph, that Song Heizi is indeed no good person."
Ren Yuan felt even more contempt for Song Jiang, but then he called Liu Si over.
"Liu Si, go and see if the village head's son is the one who bullied your family back then. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. This beast is in your hands now."
Liu Si, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed forward immediately after receiving the order and began punching and kicking the village head's son! While beating him, he said:
"He killed my mother, I'd recognize him even if he were ashes!"
"Fourth Brother! No, Fourth Master! Please have mercy, Fourth Master! It hurts so much! Please spare me! Let me go!"
The guy who got beaten up was the one who had harassed Liu Si's wife, injured his mother, and seized his family's land. After being beaten by Liu Si, the guy kept begging for mercy.
"Fourth Master! Fourth Master! Please spare my life! Chieftain! My village has money and grain! I'm willing to give it all to the stronghold to save my life!"
Seeing his son being beaten, the old man was desperate and decided to use money to save his life.
"Money and grain? Is that yours? It belongs to all the villagers! What right do you have to use their money and grain to save your life?! Liu Si, ignore him! Continue!"
Ren Yuan interrupted the old village head directly, "Old man, your family has committed many evils, this money and grain cannot protect you!"
"Spare you? I begged you for the same thing back then, and you spared my whole family?! Now you dare to beg me again? What right do you have!"
Hearing the pleas for mercy, Liu Si became even angrier. With the support of the chieftain, he decided not to hold back any longer. He drew his knife and slashed at the man!
Blood splattered everywhere! Liu Si was still not satisfied, so he turned around and rushed at the village headman, raising his knife and slashing off the village headman's head as well!
"Mother! Your son has avenged you!"
After personally chopping up his two enemies, Liu Si roared to the sky, venting his pent-up frustration. The villagers whose children had been killed by the Baozheng family also shouted along with him, their eyes red with anger.
"Do your own fault, don't live."
Ren Yuan had no intention of looking at the village head's corpse; he waved for his henchmen to come over and drag it away and throw it away.
"Fellow villagers! The village head and his family are all here today. If anyone has a grievance, speak up one by one. These beasts have been oppressing us for so long! Today we'll settle our scores together!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for us!"
The village head's family was used to bullying others, and now they were in big trouble. A group of villagers came up and told them all about their shameful deeds!
"Kill him!"
Ren Yuan had no intention of showing any mercy. These people had brought this upon themselves, and he would not hesitate to punish anyone who committed evil!
"Fellow villagers, from this day forward, there will be no more evil spirits in Xixi Village! If there are still evildoers in the future, come to Liangshan and find us! We will stand up for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous!"
"Your Majesty is the just ruler!"
Hearing the cheers of the people, the Liangshan heroes couldn't help but straighten their already upright backs once more!
They are very proud. Following such a village chief, they feel that this is the life they have always longed for!
