It rains a lot in summer.
The drizzle of rain is simply a gift from God to the farmers, but for Li Gui and others who are on their way, it is terrible.
The official road of Gyeonggi Road is already considered the best section in the Song Dynasty, but it is still a dirt road.
It's fine to walk on weekdays, a little dusty at most, but when it rains, the mud is really unbearable.
As soon as they entered Daming Mansion, Li Gui and others encountered rain one after another.
It was misty and rainy. If there was a scholar here, he might be able to recite a poem, but Li Gui and his group were all rough guys, and they really didn't have that kind of elegance.
Although the rain was not heavy and there was no heavy rain, the ground was already muddy.
Fortunately, Li Gui and his party were all riding horses, and all the patients were riding in cars. They didn't have to walk by themselves, and the rain wasn't heavy. All they had to do was put on their raincoats and move forward slowly.
After walking like this for a few days, the shadow of Daming Mansion could finally be seen in the distance. Li Gui and others couldn't help but get excited, and whipped the horse's butt a few more times, urging them to move forward faster.
They had long been impatient and couldn't wait to find a hotel to stay and warm themselves up with two pots of old wine.
However, the city of Daming Mansion looks far away, but even if you ride on horseback, you can't reach it in a short while.
A few people were in a hurry and didn't pay much attention. They urged the horses too much and accidentally let the horses cross the boundary and trample some wheat fields on the roadside.
In the wheat field, many farmers were busy harvesting.
The rainy season is coming, and if we don’t hurry up and harvest, it will be too late.
Let alone rain, even knives from the sky can't stop farmers from planting and harvesting.
Seeing that the wheat fields were trampled and the wheat seedlings were destroyed, the farmers started to make noises.
There was a man who looked like a steward at the edge of the field, wearing a raincoat and rain boots. He was standing at the edge of the field supervising the dealers in their work. There were several men behind him who seemed to be guards. When they saw this, they came over with a riding whip and several people. .
From a distance, he shouted loudly:
"Blind thief!"
"You don't follow the good road, but you trample on other people's young crops. You deserve to be starved to death!"
This group of Li Gui's men had already been shaped into Li Gui's image. After hearing this, they immediately flew into a rage. They reined in the horse and wanted to argue with the manager.
Li Gui frowned, threw away a bunch of copper coins, and dropped them into the steward's arms.
The steward was stunned, subconsciously put the money into his arms, and cursed:
"Now that you know what happened, let's drop this matter and leave quickly. Don't show off around my house."
But he wanted to leave it at that, but Li Gui was not happy.
"Slow down!"
Li Gui called out the steward and said with a cold face:
"It's my son who trampled on your family's fields. I've already compensated you with copper coins."
"But you just scolded my men, how should you calculate it?"
The steward's expression changed and he said angrily:
"OK!"
"So you are here to look for trouble!"
"What a courageous dog!"
"Don't ask me, whose land is this?"
"I might as well tell you, let alone scolding you a few words, even if I want to hit you, you have to bear it honestly!"
"Otherwise, I only need to report to my master, and I will arrest you and put you in prison, and torture you as much as you want..."
When Li Gui heard this, he knew that the person in charge must be a local official, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore. He picked up the ax, slanted his shoulder and shoved it on his back, and clicked it.
This was so sudden that the steward and the companions behind him didn't react. They saw the steward lowering his head and widening his eyes. He watched in disbelief as half of his body slowly slid down from high above. Falling into the mud.
"Ah...killing people..."
The companions screamed like slaughtered pigs, turned around and ran away.
Li Gui glanced down at the steward's body and found that the gray luck that should have been there was now gone.
But anyway, this gray luck is of no use to him. Once it's gone, it's gone, and he doesn't care.
Several of Li Gui's men laughed loudly, rode their horses into the field, and killed several of them with one sprint.
Glancing at the fleeing farmers in the distance, they realized that they knew what their brother was doing, so they ignored him and allowed those Kuhaha to escape.
As for whether these people will report to the official, that is up to them. The city of Tokyo has broken out, but they still care about this small city of Beijing?
Qin Ming and Wang Jin had both fought on the battlefield, and they didn't take Li Gui's approach seriously, but Xu Ning and Li Liye frowned.
Xu Ning has lived in Tokyo for generations, and is almost considered a small general. He is bound by the laws and regulations of the court, and he still cannot accept such illegal and indiscipline things as wanton killing.
As for the second uncle Li Liye, he was purely an honest character. Even if he practiced martial arts well, he only focused on strengthening his body. He always followed the rules and never went beyond the limits.
Otherwise, when Li Gui invited him to go up the mountain, he would have agreed long ago.
Li Liye is a typical ordinary warrior. He is law-abiding, has simple moral values, and the three views molded by Confucian culture over the years. Unless he is forced to a dead end, he will definitely be obedient to the people.
In his bones, he lacks the wildness in the hearts of everyone in Liangshan, and he is also old. His three views have been set long ago and it is difficult to change them.
In his mind, killing people casually is wrong.
If Li Gui kills some damn evil people, he can still convince himself that eliminating evil means promoting good.
But the steward only yelled a few words before he was killed by Li Gui. Moreover, Li Gui's men were really murderous, killing a group of innocent people and actually laughed...
The second uncle frowned and made up his mind to leave. He planned to change places and continue to be his own farmer incognito after leaving this place.
Although he is an imperial prisoner now, as long as the world is amnesty, his crime will be eliminated.
He wanted to persuade Li Gui a few words, but he thought that Li Gui had always had a stubborn temper. He had not listened to his persuasion that day when Li Gui was going to rebel, and he would not listen to him now.
He sighed, found Li Gui, and told Li Gui what he meant.
