In the courtyard of the Xia family, a circle of people sat around the small stone table.

The noise and crying were getting closer and closer, Brother Nan ran over bouncing and jumping: "Uncle, Uncle, those people are really here."

He widened his eyes in disbelief.

Some time ago, there were rumors in the village that his uncle had a problem with the villagers, and he favored Sun Heihu and his group of outsiders and their relatives, so he gave all the good work to those people, and now he still tries to help them make money.

Brother Nan thought at the time, when my uncle recruited the guards, the whole village notified them, and they didn't want to come, who is to blame?Of the three young people who signed up, one of them has now become a group leader.

Moreover, when the enrollment was expanded later, many motivated young people from the village joined the guards, so why did they become his uncle's side gang? !

He was very angry at first, and wanted to catch all those who slandered his uncle and deal with him.

Unexpectedly, his uncle was not angry at all. Not only was he not angry, but he also opened up the city and let them form search teams at will.

You know, even if they are in the escort team, if they want to form a team, they must be at the top of the team assessment.If you think about it a little bit, you will know how dangerous it is for a group of people who have not experienced much fighting to rush out.

But those people were blind, deaf, and brain-destroyed. They could only see the money they brought back, but not the blood stained on their clothes.

What his uncle said at the time: "If a person wants to die, no one can stop him."

It was only then that Brother Nan realized that my uncle was deliberately teaching these people a lesson, and it was right for him to say it. Although most people in the village are not bad, there are always a few of them. Leprosy □ □ falls on the instep, does not bite and disgusts people.

It's just that he didn't expect that these people would dare to come to his uncle. When the uncle said it, he couldn't believe it.Relying on his uncle's protection to live so comfortably here, he dared to trouble his uncle even if he committed suicide?

Facts have proved that he underestimated the thickness of people's skins, and these people really came.

"Uncle, sit still, I'll clean them up." Nan Ge'er was filled with righteous indignation, his fists were clenched tightly, and the reckless men also looked like they were about to fight.

"Although violence can solve the problem, it is the most undesirable thing." Xia Chen stopped Brother Nan, drank tea slowly, thought for a while and added: "Occasionally it will be very useful."

How to put it, everything that happened today was within his expectations, so Brother Nan was so angry that he was able to calmly consider the pros and cons of this matter.

Generally speaking, Qinghe Village is a small village with simple folk customs, but there are always some villains with bad personalities, greedy and short-sighted.

When he decided to build the city to collect taxes, he originally planned to clear a group of people out, but probably the rules he set were not strict enough, or the villagers' herd mentality was too strong, so they all chose to compromise in the end.

He couldn't find excuses to drive people out, and with the lack of manpower for urban construction, he turned a blind eye and let the rat shit hang around for a while.

But rat feces are rat feces after all, it is impossible to turn porridge into porridge just because it is soaked in porridge, it will only make porridge stink.

This time so many refugees came all at once, as long as Xia Chen is willing to let go of the recruitment, there will definitely be no shortage of manpower in the short term.Besides, even if he didn't accept people and just contracted out the work, there would still be people willing to do it for him.

Coupled with the comparison of the difficult life of the refugees, some people drift away. If you want him to say, these people are not very smart. They have seen how the refugees are living, and they don’t shrink their heads to please him, but come to find trouble for him. ?Sure enough, he was too good at talking.

As for forming a search team, this was really intentional by Xia Chen, no matter when, the gap between rich and poor always exists.Especially in the unbalanced world of the doomsday, the more capable people are, the easier it is to accumulate wealth, and the gap between the rich and the poor will even widen in the future.

Because their living environment is relatively closed, the gap between the rich and the poor is not too obvious, but he can't suppress this general trend. Instead of waiting for those people with no ability to suppress and explode for a long time, it is better for him to light the fire first.

He intends to eliminate some unqualified citizens, and the timing is just right. He can not only collect supplies, but also stimulate the training enthusiasm of the guards who have just expanded their enrollment.

While speaking, several family members of the deceased, as well as the family of the villager with a broken leg, and many onlookers gathered outside the gate of Xia's house.

A group of people approached menacingly, and when they saw the door of Xia's house, they suddenly froze again, standing on the open space outside the door one by one, no one dared to knock on the door.

Xia Chen slowly drank all the water in the cup before taking people out. Wen Shu was impatient to deal with these people, and Xia Chen was also afraid that if he didn't suppress his temper, it would not end well if he killed two of them on the spot, so he only took Two nephews and some members of the guards, even his father and elder brother were not allowed to show up.

As soon as he appeared, the cry that had already subsided immediately rose again. Xia Chen gave them a headache from crying, and turned around to leave. They were so shocked that they forgot to cry, and hurried to stop them.

Xia Chen usually likes to laugh, but what kind of expression should he use on any occasion, now he doesn't look like smiling at all, and puts on a serious face: "Why are you coming to my house?"

A new widow whose man just died wailed: "Master Xia, Lao Ge died so badly. There are three children in my family. I..." When she cried, the tone dragged on. Yes, crying and sighing three times, with ups and downs.

Xia Chen looked at the dragged corpse expressionlessly, nodded and said, "I saw it."

Everyone waited for a while, but they didn't see that he wanted to speak again, they were all stunned, the new widow still had tears on her face, and said, "My man is dead..."

Xia Chen remained expressionless: "I saw it, you said it twice."

The new widow was in a hurry, and even forgot to cry: "My man is dead, he is dead, how will the four of us live, we..."

"Did I kill your man?" Xia Chen interrupted her and asked loudly.

"No, he...I..." The new widow hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to answer Xia Chen, and looked at the others for help.

Of the three deceased, only two families actually came. The family of the young man who died did not come. Except for the new widow, the other family was led by an old lady, and the family with the broken foot also joined the battle.

Seeing the new widow's defeat, the old lady whispered: "My son and the others listened to you and went out, so they died..."

Xia Chen sneered: "I forced them out?"

He beckoned, Meng Mingjun squeezed in from the crowd, and handed him the notice that had just been torn off the outer wall of the mission office.This is Xia Chen's habit. Any decisions or new regulations will be posted on the outer wall of the task office for a period of time.

Xia Chen held up the notice and faced the crowd: "You should know what is written on it, after all, I had someone read it to you many times at that time. It is up to you to decide whether to leave the city or not. Anyone who forms a search team by himself is responsible for his own life and death. "

He shook the notice on his hand, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and tilted his head with a smile: "Hey, so I'm really conceited, what's the use of you coming to me."

The audience fell into silence. Xia Chen had indeed read this notice many times. Even if they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they had heard it from other people who knew it.

Some onlookers muttered in low voices: "Isn't it just to extort money." Suddenly, there was a echo.

Thinking about it calmly, Xia Chen really couldn't be blamed for this matter, it's just that the pillar of the family has fallen, and they desperately want to find a way out, to blame Xia Chen for the death of their family members, and it is best to let him make up for it. became the best way out.

These people are of course unwilling to admit that they have such inferior thoughts, and they are also unwilling to let them withdraw like this.People have been offended, if the benefits have not yet been obtained, wouldn't it be too much of a loss.

It's just that they didn't know what to say for a while, so they stood there in a daze.

The family member of the broken foot seized the opportunity, knelt down and begged: "Master Xia, we are not here to ask for an explanation, but our master's foot is gone, please give him some magic medicine to cure him."

Xia Chen glanced at the pale-faced man who was lying on someone else's back, with a part of his lower limbs missing hastily wrapped in white, and said coldly, "My medicine is for nourishing blood. For such a big wound, the medicine will bleed profusely. You must use it." If so, you can use the version with the lowest efficacy.”

He took out a small bottle, which contained diluted fruit blood: "This bottle is enough, and I will give you two green coins."

Selling fruit blood for two hundred white coins is really not Xia Chenhei. You can't find such a good blood-tonifying medicine anywhere else, and he sells the guards at the same price.Normally, it is not sold at all. If this person had not broken his leg, he would not have taken it out.

The woman's hand that was about to take the medicine paused, her eyes widened, and she almost said, "Do you want more money?"

She swallowed, forced a smile, waved her hands and said, "It's not the medicine, it's to make broken legs grow back, just like brother Yao Jiabei..."

It is well-known in the village that Brother Bei's arms grow well, which is a rare event. After all, the regeneration of severed limbs is very eye-catching everywhere.

Xia Chen stared at her intently, and suddenly smiled: "That's fine, I don't sell the medicine for regeneration of severed limbs, if you insist on it, pay first, and I'll give it to you."

"How much, how much?"

Xia Chen casually called out a high price: "One hundred green coins." The highest currency value in circulation is green coins.

"Why don't you go grab it!" The woman blurted out, and said indiscriminately: "Why should Brother Bei be treated, but my man won't be treated?!" Now whose family will have 1 white coins, it is hard to think about it. impossible.

Xia Chen chuckled: "Brother Bei is my nephew, who is your man?"

The woman was speechless, and someone in the crowd suddenly raised her voice: "If you collect our taxes and treat them differently, you will know how to benefit your family."

"Yes, I'm not even willing to give some medicine for my broken leg!"

"It doesn't matter if someone is dead, the orphans and widows don't even have any sympathy..."

Xia Chen's eyes were fixed: "Catch it!"

A few guards who were waiting for the order to observe secretly rushed out immediately, rushed into the crowd and arrested all the people who shouted, and turned their hands back to push Xia Chen in front of him.

Xia Chen took a look and saw that there were two who pushed him into the water with Tian Laibao when he was a child, two bastards from the village, and one who turned out to be the elder brother of the young man recruited by the guards at first.

The young man was rejected by his brother and sister-in-law and forced to separate the family. Later, he was unwilling to let them take advantage of the money, which aroused the envy of his brother-in-law and his family. At this time, he stood by Xia Chen's side, with his head bowed and his face full of shame.

These people first complained that Xia Chen had arrested the wrong person, and they could lower their voices when shouting, just to provoke trouble.

Xia Chen didn't even give them a look, and said coldly: "I said it was you, it was you, hold back unconvinced."

Without waiting for others to react, he changed his usual gentle style and issued an order vigorously: "All these families will be expelled, and they are not allowed to live within the scope of this city."

As if a thunderbolt fell on the crowd, the person involved was already stunned, and the surrounding villagers were also talking about it.

A man in custody shouted: "Why do you deport us?! This city is not yours!"

He turned his head and shouted at the crowd: "You built the city wall, and you dug the stones, how can you let him decide."

Brother Nan said angrily: "My brother-in-law pays the wages. If you have the ability, let them return the wages!"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers took two steps back one after another. Who would like to get their wages refunded? They bought food and ate it.Besides, this was none of their business in the first place, and they didn't want to extort money from the Xia family, nor did they want to be some kind of city lord, so don't take that matter if it's not that material.

Xia Chen has already made up his mind, no matter what they say, let the guards move to help these people move.Anyone who disobeys will be directly suppressed by force.
