Mother Chen and Wang Yuxing were sure that Shan Hu was gone before they excitedly walked into the lady's boudoir to tell them.
"The Shan family has been led 80 miles away by the housekeeper."
The dying young lady turned over and sat up with an unknown sound of energy, crying with joy. The maid quickly served the young lady with a handkerchief and waited for her to calm down a little before saying.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Boss Chen, who had been sitting at the wine table in the main room without daring to move a step, still frowned with his thick eyebrows furrowed in front of the leftovers under the bright red gauze lamp, because it was still hard to predict whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Butler Li Shun wore a red ribbon around his waist and walked happily on one side of the sedan chair, directing the procession of sending off the bride along the street. The protagonist of the procession was Shan Hu, who was riding a horse in red and colorful colors and walked at the front. The banner team followed closely behind with various auspicious flags. The sails are colorful and fluttering in the wind.
After the flags came the drum band. For a while, the crowds of people gathered on both sides of the street to watch the lively drummers. The drummers were even more energetic. Following behind the drummers was a large sedan chair carried by 24 people.
At this moment, Li Shun was unusually nervous because the sedan chair was on the street and none of the bearers used were from the sedan chair. If other people in the sedan chair who rushed to watch the excitement saw the flaw, all his efforts might be wasted.
At this time, the 24 bearers, all wearing red sweat scarves up to their eyebrows, walked forward without saying a word. Their luggage was sweating profusely, they held the car bars and whispered to the people carrying the sedan next to them.
"Stay organized and don't get confused."
The bearer raised his head, cleared his throat and issued a command.
"1.2."
I remember that at this time, I could only hear the 24 bearers stamping their feet on the hard stone slabs, making a neat sound. At this moment, Li Shun glanced at the crowd watching the excitement and saw Fan Wei personally commanding the soldiers to maintain order on the street. His anxious heart suddenly felt at ease!
The escorting procession left the city gate and there were still more than 10 miles left in Shanjia Mutual Insurance. The drummers paused their performance. Those who knew the details in the procession breathed a sigh of relief. The busiest person at this time was Li Shun. After counting and arranging the sedan chair, he carried the Or the procession carrying the dowry.
This group of people had lost their formation during the pushing and jostling among the crowd watching the fun. Some even fell far away. Some of them were carrying boxes, some were carrying dressers, and some were carrying wooden basins and red-painted toilets. In short, all kinds of life of the bride. There are all kinds of supplies.
When the escorting procession passed through a village, some sparse villagers rushed to the roadside to watch the excitement. The drummers, unwilling to be left alone, stepped up their efforts to play joy. Under the command of the leader, the bearers carried the sedan and performed various dazzling dances.
Shan Hu, who was riding on the horse, looked back from time to time, mesmerized.
This majestic procession of sending relatives walked and entertained like this until it reached the gate of Shanjia Mutual Protection City at sunset. In an instant, drums were played loudly inside and outside the mutual protection city, and firecrackers were blasting. Shanhu was extremely excited. The cavalry team entered the mutual protection gate.
Guests from all over the world who had already arrived for the mutual protection heard the news and came out to welcome the newlyweds. They sang and laughed with drums and firecrackers, and the big red sedan finally stopped in front of the gate of Yunlu with a command to get off the sedan.
Shan Hu happily opened the red curtain of the big red sedan with his own hands. The bride, wearing a red hijab, stepped out of the sedan with the support of two bridesmaids. A maid from the Shan family came over with a roll of red silk in her hands and stuffed one end of it. put it in the bride's hand and handed the other end to Shan Hu.
Shan Hu dragged Hongling and took the bride Xuxu into Yunlu. Hongling was spread out under the drag of the two newlyweds. A big red hydrangea was tied in the middle of the mausoleum. The groom and the bride were surrounded by endless firecrackers, drums and cheers. Entering the brightly lit lobby with laughter.
The dress room and the wide corridor in the hall were filled with tables of sumptuous wedding banquets. The guests who had just gone to welcome the newlyweds sat down in their own seats in order of relative order.
After the large sedan chair at the Shanjia Mutual Insurance Gate entered, the dowry queue behind him was still dragging for a long time. Li Shun knew that the bride and the bearer in front of him were taking care of themselves, but he still stayed at the Shanjia Mutual Insurance Gate. Each piece was carried into the Mutual Protection City.
Among them, some people with empty hands were also included in the team. At first, the guards guarding the gate thought that all the people coming were the woman's natal family and did not care. Later, more and more people came in empty-handed. The guards guarding the gate noticed something was wrong and blocked a person who wanted to ask. after all.
"Are you from your mother's family or your father's family?"
The guests at this banquet were all important figures, Yuchi Jiong, Li Bi, and He Lanxiang, who were serious about fighting without their lives.
Yu Wenhu took the sun and moon boring machine and rode a Western sweat horse and led a team of 100 people to come to congratulate and protect the safety of Shan's family.
"My dear brother, today is my nephew's wedding, so we have prepared a small gift for you."
"Brother, we are all close friends for eight years. We are just brothers who kowtow to the ground. You can just come and have fun. Why are you preparing this gift?"
As he spoke, Shan Yutong opened the box with a playful smile and almost drooled as he looked at the shining jewel-like treasures that came into view.
"Brother, I'll accept these precious little brothers, but next time your nephew gets married, you won't be allowed to do this."
Yu Wenhu smiled on the surface and pretended not to care. In fact, he was really dissatisfied.
At this moment, Yi Tong and Fan Wei, who were dressed in casual clothes, stepped out from the crowd and waved the empty-handed people around who were trying to get in. Without any trouble, they disarmed all the people in front of Shanjia Mutual Insurance's door and controlled the entrance. The door to mutual protection.
Those with empty hands and those carrying things opened the boxes one after another. Only a few pieces of clothing were placed on the outside of the boxes. The bottom layer was full of swords and various weapons. Everyone took what they needed and sneaked into the dark courtyard to carry the dowry. The bearers who entered in front were all the 200 soldiers led by Li Shun.
The ones who broke in empty-handed were some of Fan Wei's 2,000 soldiers with rich combat experience.
Fan Wei rushed to the gate of the Mutual Protection City and controlled the gate. Li Shun and Fan Wei only exchanged a glance and handed over the outer protection to the cautious Yi Tong.
However, he and several people with weapons also sneaked into the brightly decorated mutual protection compound. Li Shun went straight to the entrance of Yunlu. He happened to meet the bearers sitting on the ground at the door steps to rest and drink water. A servant from the Shan family came to invite them. That’s what the bearers said when they went to the backyard for a banquet.
"We've been walking for so long and we're too tired. Let's rest here for a while before we go."
So the servants of the Shan family brought tea and food and said.
"You've had a hard journey along the way. You guys should take a rest first. It's not too late to have a rest before going to the backyard for a banquet."
Li Shun met them and then went into Yunlu and went to the main room. The room was already full of guests, laughing and chatting, and the smoke was filled. When Li Shun came in, he could only see the bright lights around him and couldn't see anything clearly. He gradually got used to the light in the room and looked around. I saw some dowry pickers standing in the dark watching the excitement.
Some of them even sat in the seats of the guests grandly. Looking at the high hall, they saw Shan Yu, wearing a red cloak, sitting aloft on a position not far from the emperor's throne. The newlyweds were standing on the ancestral tablets. The wedding ceremony was going on before.
At this time, the emcee wearing a red ribbon sang loudly.
"Worship heaven and earth."
The two newlyweds knelt on the red mat in front of their feet.
"Kowtow once, kowtow twice."
When the emcee finished kowtowing three times, an unexpected situation happened. When the bride kowtowed for the third time, her red hijab accidentally slipped off her head. The groom Shan Hu glanced at the bride, and her whole body started to tremble like a convulsion.
When he saw the heavily made-up bride, neither male nor female, she was not the beautiful and dignified Miss Chen. He jumped up from the ground in excitement, but the bride suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
Everyone sitting there was in an uproar. Just when everyone was helpless, a man hiding in the dark rushed out and swung a jujube red stick, hitting the shocked Shan Hu on the forehead. At that time, blood sprayed from his brain to the surrounding area. On the guests and on the table.
The 12 King Kongs who had seen the big scene and were present at the table saw that something was wrong. They picked up the wine vessel they were sitting on and threw it at the man. One of them picked up a chair and was about to throw it at him, but Li Shun, who had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed him. Press and hold.
They are really enemies. That guy is none other than Lu Er in 12 King Kong. When they looked at each other, they both recognized each other. Lu Er let go and dropped the chair, turned around and wanted to leave. Li Shun then took the chair and smashed it down on Lu Er's face. .
Lu Er screamed and fell to the ground, bringing down the guests. Above the hall, Shan Yu, who was originally full of spring and vitality, became confused and cried out loudly.
"Son, wake up, my son, come here, get my sledgehammer, we are going to kill him Li Shun."
The slave took advantage of the chaos and ran to the weapon room. A group of government soldiers followed him, trying to interrupt his way. The slave looked closely at a pair of sledgehammers hanging on the beam, then hurriedly took them off and returned to the lobby. As soon as he stepped across the threshold, he was followed closely. The soldier's sword ended his life.
Shan Yutong took it with a punch, but luckily he didn't let the sledgehammer fall to the ground. He saw the guy Li Shun was about to hit him, and Yu Wenhu suddenly hit him with a hammer, causing Li Shun to stagger a few steps and jump out of the lobby.
"Oh, Yu Wenhu is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Shan Yutong couldn't help but angrily jumped out of the door and hit Li Shun with a hammer. He just heard a click sound and saw that the weapon in his hand was smashed. He could only use Shaolin's seventy-two unique skills, Dragon Claw Hand.
Shan Yutong only wanted to avenge his son at this moment. He didn't care about life and death. The two hammers met Li Shun again. Seeing this, he grabbed the hand and neck and violently twisted the bones, making a crisp fracture sound.
He screamed in pain.
"ah."
The second attack hit Shan Yutong with the force of a stone. When the two hammers hit the ground, Xiao Lezi quickly picked up the sledgehammer and was about to hit Shan Yutong. When he flew over the eaves, he disappeared.
While escaping, Shan Yutong inadvertently looked back to see if Li Shun was chasing him, but he saw the bride's face clearly.
Outside the originally joyful lobby, in the blink of an eye, there were flashes of swords, shadows of swords, and flesh and blood flying everywhere, with ghosts crying and wolves howling! !
The bearers waiting indoors and the soldiers who had not yet entered the main room heard something different outside. They each picked up something and rushed out quickly. The outside of the main room was suddenly filled with people, and Yunlu was surrounded by water, beating each one one by one.
A person in charge of liaison and reporting took out several fireworks that had been prepared in advance and set off three red fireworks in the sky to indicate that mutual protection had already begun. Outside, there was a thunderous sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Crying to kill.
Li Shun, who walked into the room, jumped on the table and shouted loudly.
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet."
Several people who tried to resist were subdued, and the main room finally became quiet. It was so quiet that it was terrifying. Li Shun glanced at the dark crowd seriously and said.
"Everyone, if you have a seat, please sit down. No one should think of acting rashly. Please help Brother Lezi to rest somewhere else."
At this time, a soldier who was originally serving as a sedan bearer picked up Xiao Lezi from outside the house, who was too weak to move and was pretending to be a bride. Another one separated the crowd in front to clear the way for her. They walked through the crowd step by step and exited the main room. Li Shun continued.
"Everyone, we are here under the orders of Governor Yang of the Prefecture and Mr. Fan of the Military Prefecture to exterminate the Shan family and his son who have done many crimes and caused harm to everyone. Most of the people here, including relatives and friends of the Shan family, will not be punished for their crimes. Now I ask women, children and the elderly to leave without permission. If you don’t have money, I will give you some money to take a car and a sedan home. I will ask the brothers from the government soldiers to help you go out. Don’t crowd people. The governor knows that you are often oppressed. Without this serious problem, you can still live your own small life with peace of mind."
At the same time, Fan Wei, who was outside the mutual protection compound, led hundreds of soldiers from the government to rush in, holding torches high and shouting. One by one, they formed neat formations and quickly found pre-arranged positions in the mutual protection compound. These soldiers in military uniforms occupied the area. The soldier held a weapon in one hand and a torch in the other, lighting up every corner of the mutual guarantee!
There are more than a thousand soldiers outside the mutual guarantee, and they are all holding torches to surround the mutual protection city to prevent any fish from escaping. At this moment, the more than a thousand soldiers from a single family inside the mutual guarantee have never seen such a formation. They were all so frightened that their legs were weak and their hands were weak, and they had no fighting spirit.
After the old, weak, women and children in the main room were invited out, the room became more relaxed. Li Shun also sat down on a chair. He took out an album from his clothes, with the names of dozens of people written on it. He read from them. I asked someone's name and no one answered.
He then read the New Year again and someone answered.
"exist."
In fact, that person was sitting next to Li Shun. Li Shun glanced at him and said.
"You sit over there."
The man was discouraged and didn't want to move, but he couldn't resist Li Shun's attitude of being violent and reluctantly sat in the designated position.
Li Shun then read the name again and the man responded loudly.
"exist."
"You sit over there too."
The man suddenly became furious.
"Who are you? Aren't you just Yang Jian's dog? Don't think that being a guard dog means you can boss around. I'm just sitting here and what can you do."
Li Shundao.
"Today we are here under orders, and I won't argue too much with you. If this had happened on a normal day, I would have knocked out a few of your front teeth."
Li Shun winked and suddenly four soldiers from the government came up to carry the sedan. Two of them, one on the left and one on the right, tied his hands behind his back. The third person took out the rope and tied it tightly in a few seconds. The other person lifted it up casually. Lift him to the other side.
Li Shun continued to call, but no one responded. He raised his tone and called again. Someone muttered and pointed at a person lying in a pool of blood.
"He, that's him."
The soldiers rushed forward and verified that Zheng Shen was indeed not breathing.
The next one on the list is Lu Er. No need to call him by name. Just like this, 5 of the 12 King Kong were killed because they resisted on the spot. The remaining 7 were all arrested. Li Shun looked at it and said.
"Keep them down for us and have a taste of the power of Suizhou Prison."
Outside Yunlu, Fan Wei has prepared dozens of hand-pushed single-person prison vans, each with a person's name on it. 12 King Kong and the heinous minions, one for each, and Li Shun, after reading the list, all those named entered the prison van and stayed overnight. He was escorted to Suizhou Prison.
The hall became quite empty for a while. Li Shun finally called on the last person and said in a questioning tone.
"Is the Shan family housekeeper here?"
"The little one is here."
A tall and thin man wearing a red ribbon and a red-trimmed top hat heard the call and trembled so much that he fell down from his seat and knelt on the ground. He was the emcee with a loud voice at the wedding just now.
"Get up."
Li Shun said that the soldiers came over and helped him up. Li Shun continued.
"We won't embarrass you, but starting from tomorrow, we invite you to work with the account custodian and others to cooperate with the people sent by the governor to count the Shan family's accounts and property."
, Yang Jian, the governor who had been sitting in the study room of the state government office since dark, held a volume in his hand, but he had no intention of reading. He just wandered back and forth in the room until at midnight, several government soldiers carried a stretcher into the government office.
When Yang Jian heard the noise, he immediately went out. Uncle Zhu held a lamp and led the way. Yang Jian went over to take the lamp from Uncle Zhu's hand and shined it on the person on the stretcher. Everyone present was shocked. The person lying on the stretcher was actually wearing a red wedding dress and was painted with makeup and powder. little fun.
Yang Jian's heart tightened when he found a sticky, dirty thing on his body. When he touched it with his hand and held it up to a lamp, it turned out to be blood.
Xiaolezi, who was awakened by the cold wind, quickly explained.
"That's not because our blood belongs to Shan Hu and we weren't injured."
"You're not hurt?"
Yang Jian even shouted in confusion.
"Then why are you lying on the stretcher?"
"We don't know what happened. At that time, we just heard the call to lean on the head. We were already dizzy from being shaken in the sedan chair. When I kowtowed three times, the hijab slipped and bright lights shone from all directions. I felt a headache. If not, we don’t know anything.”
