Longevity and cultivation, I evolved martial arts into immortality
Chapter 37 The County is Shocked
Last night, Chu Liang had not returned.
Many villagers thought he had escaped.
But now, smoke was coming out of his chimney.
"Did someone enter his house? Was it Chu Erniu?"
Many people thought of the second uncle at the first time, after all, the second uncle's family had a very good relationship with Chu Liang.
Other villagers were still confused, but the fourth and fifth uncles were anxious.
"It must be the second brother!" The fourth uncle insisted, "Before Aliang left, he must have given the key to his house to the second brother!"
"The second brother is really unkind." The fifth uncle also said.
"As soon as Aliang left, his things should be divided equally among us."
"The second brother can't take it all by himself."
"Quick! Let's go and take a look!"
The fourth and fifth uncles looked anxious, and hurried out of the yard, taking two steps at a time, and hurried to the door of Chu Liang's yard.
Dong Dong Dong!
They knocked hard on the door.
"Second brother, open the door, I'm the fourth brother!"
"I'm the fifth brother!"
The two of them shouted anxiously into the yard, knocking on the door.
Dong, dong, dong!
The yard door vibrated, and the sound was very loud.
At this time, a puzzled voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, what are you two doing?"
"Second brother?"
The two of them were startled, and turned their heads together, and found that the second uncle was behind them.
If the second uncle was not at Chu Liang's house, then who was cooking at his house?
Could it be...
The two of them were stunned, and before they could react, they heard the sound of the door opening.
"Creaky..."
The yard door opened.
Chu Liang looked indifferent, standing by the door, glanced at the two of them, and asked: "Fourth uncle, fifth uncle, are you okay?"
"Aliang, you..."
Seeing that Chu Liang was still there, the two of them froze, as if they had seen a ghost.
When did Chu Liang come back?
Didn't he escape?
Not only the two of them, but also the other villagers around were stunned, obviously not expecting that it would be Chu Liang who opened the door.
For a moment, everyone was frozen in place, not knowing what to say, and no one spoke.
Chu Liang had expected this.
He looked at his second uncle and asked, "Second uncle, have you had breakfast? If not, let's have breakfast together."
"Yes... I have."
The second uncle came back to his senses and suddenly thought of the contract, and his face immediately became more anxious.
He immediately pushed the fourth and fifth uncles apart, walked to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Aliang, why are you back?"
"Second uncle, this is my home, of course I have to come back, otherwise where else can I go?" Chu Liang asked in surprise.
"I thought you..."
"Don't worry, second uncle, there is only one Mr. Hu, so I won't leave my hometown."
"But..."
The second uncle hesitated and wanted to mention the slave contract.
But there are so many people here now, it's not convenient to talk.
He winked at Chu Liang and planned to talk after entering the yard.
But the fourth uncle suddenly said: "Aliang! Aliang, it's good that you're back. Butler Hu came yesterday and gave a contract. As long as you can sign the contract, the previous offense against Mr. Hu will be over."
"Yes, the contract is with the second brother!" The fifth uncle also hurriedly said: "Second brother, where is the contract? Take it out and show it to Aliang!"
"Why are you two in a hurry?"
Hearing what the two said, the second uncle was furious.
It is not known whether these two brothers were intentional or unintentional. Mentioning the contract in front of so many people almost pissed him off.
This matter is too important to be sloppy. It must be said in a place with few people, because the voices and opinions of other people around may affect Chu Liang.
"I left the contract at home." The second uncle winked at Chu Liang, "Aliang, come with me."
"Okay."
Chu Liang nodded, he didn't ask what the contract was.
Just looking at the second uncle's face, he knew it was not a good thing.
He closed the courtyard door and followed the second uncle to his house.
The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle followed behind.
The second uncle felt annoyed when he saw these two guys. He wanted to stop them outside his yard, but he was worried that they would shout outside, so he had to let them in together.
"Bang!"
The second uncle slammed the door of the yard, blocking the prying eyes of the other villagers.
Outside, the other villagers were a little regretful.
They really wanted to know whether Chu Liang would sign the slave contract?
Many people did not leave, but wandered outside the yard, looking around from time to time, waiting for Chu Liang to come out.
In the yard.
The second uncle took out the contract and spread it flat on the table.
He said to Chu Liang: "Aliang, this is the housekeeper Hu yesterday..."
Before he finished speaking, the fourth uncle suddenly interrupted him, squeezed out a smile and said to Chu Liang: "Aliang, Mr. Hu admires you! As long as you sign this contract, you will be a member of the Hu family in the future!"
"Old Four, shut up!"
The second uncle was really angry and slapped the fourth uncle in the face.
Snap!
The sound was crisp.
The fourth uncle was stunned for a moment, and half of his face soon became red and swollen.
He covered that half of his face, very unconvinced, and shouted loudly: "Second brother, why did you hit me? I am also for Ah Liangliang!"
"Shut up! If you say one more word, I will hit you again!"
"I..."
The fourth uncle shrank his neck, and seeing that the second uncle had raised his hand, he dared not say anything more
The fifth uncle stood aside in dismay, glad that he did not rush to speak.
Chu Liang had a calm face, picked up the contract on the table, and glanced at it casually.
"Oh, it's a slave contract."
He was not surprised, he had expected it.
Mr. Hu was cautious and cherished his life, so he would definitely not attack him directly, but would find a way to test him.
This slave contract was a way of testing.
If Chu Liang signed it, or showed that he wanted to compromise and bow his head, then Mr. Hu would go further and continue to test him with more direct means until Mr. Hu was finally sure.
In any case, he would not allow Chu Liang to grow into a warrior on his territory.
"Uncle, this contract is just a test method." Chu Liang put down the slave contract and said to his uncle calmly.
"Test method?" The uncle looked puzzled and didn't understand what Chu Liang meant.
"It's like this..."
Chu Liang's voice was calm and he explained it briefly.
After listening, the uncle suddenly understood.
After all, he was not a warrior, and he didn't understand the mentality of the warrior master. He didn't stand high enough, so he didn't think it through before.
The other villagers were the same. They all thought that the Hu family really wanted to take Chu Liang as a family slave.
After all, as long as he became a family slave, Chu Liang would let them control him.
Uncle Wu on the side also understood and nodded to Chu Liang, saying: "Aliang, that is to say, whether this contract is signed or not, Master Hu will eventually get rid of you?"
"Yes."
"It's useless whether you bow your head, kneel or beg for mercy?"
"It's useless."
Hearing this, Uncle Wu immediately fell silent.
Uncle Si on the side also knew what to say and didn't say anything else.
If they did what they thought, Chu Liang would definitely die.
Acting tough would make Master Hu afraid to act immediately.
"This thing is just a piece of waste paper."
Chu Liang smiled, picked up the slave contract, and tore it into pieces.
He assured his second uncle that he had a good idea, and then opened the gate and walked out of the yard.
The weather was very good today, and it was a good day to practice martial arts.
He didn't want to waste time on such boring tricks.
Outside the yard, the villagers saw Chu Liang coming out and came forward one after another, but no one dared to ask. In the end, they could only watch Chu Liang walk back to his own yard.
They had no choice but to turn to the second uncle's house and ask before the second uncle closed the door.
"Erniu, did Aliang sign?"
"What's it to you?"
The second uncle slammed the door with a cold face.
Life in the village is very boring, there is no entertainment, and any small things that happen on weekdays can make people discuss for half a month, let alone Chu Liang's case.
This matter is considered a big deal!
...
At the same time, a big thing happened in the county.
The news came out early this morning and soon spread throughout the county-the nineteenth concubine of the Qingyi Gang leader disappeared!
There are two shocking things about this matter.
The first is that the Qingyi Gang leader actually has so many concubines.
The second is that someone dared to do something to his concubine!
It is said that the gang leader was furious and asked all the gang members to search everywhere.
"Search! I want to see the person alive or dead!"
Countless members of the Qingyi Gang were dispatched, causing chaos in the entire county.
But in the end, no one was found after searching the entire county.
There are a few suspicious places.
For example, there are many traces of fighting in the woods west of the county, two mummies in the mountain temple east of the county, and many bloodstains on the official road south of the county, etc.
"Boss, someone has seen Madam Nineteen and her men, and that person said they went to the south of the city."
"Madam Nineteen likes to rob in the area south of the city. She probably went there yesterday, so I think...the bloodstains on the official road south of the city are likely..."
Messages gathered at the headquarters of the Qingyi Gang.
The man sitting on the high seat had a gloomy look on his face. After reading all the messages, he slapped the armrest with a slap, and an angry voice came out.
"Check for me! Start from the south of the city! Give me the names of all the warriors who went in and out of the south of the city!"
"Don't let me know who did it, otherwise I will tear him to pieces!"
