The hall of Heiyun Village.
The hall was full of people, all armed with guns and sullen faces, like menacing gods, which was intimidating.
"Brother, you are always kind. Brother, I am being polite." After Zhang Tianhe met his godfather, he came to see Du Lisi.
"Yes, no courtesy." Du Lisi just agreed coldly. He really didn't expect Zhang Tianhe to dare to come alone, and he couldn't help but admire him secretly.
"Brother, you should have read the letter I wrote to you last time, right?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
"Yes, I already know." Du Lisi said.
"What do you think, brother, about the recruitment?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
Unexpectedly, Du Lisi snorted and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's settle our accounts first."
"I don't know what my brother is going to do, but I am all ears." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Earlier, you came to our village and took back the money we had from the Baiyinhaohe Jewelry Store. I heard that later on, they provided you with financial support many times. Do you think this means that I support you?" Didn't you? If we hadn't returned the money to them, would they have given you that much money?" Du Lisi asked.
"Brother, what you said makes sense." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Don't always think that I owe you a few cannons because I took them from you. Let me ask you, how much money has my father sent you? How many times? Without my father's support, how could you have done it? Is it developing so fast? How can you support so many brothers under your command?"
"My godfather is indeed very kind to me."
"Besides, when you were just starting out, did we beat you? Did we help you share a lot of external pressure? So that you can develop wholeheartedly. If I didn't attract those bosses and forces, do you think you Will it be so stable?" Du Lisi asked.
"Brother, what you said is true. I am very grateful, brother." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Even if I robbed you of the horses and guns that you got from the Mongolian bandits, I have already come to apologize to you. I can't kill people without giving you a headshot. What else do you want me to do? After all, I am also the leader of a village. You want face, do you think I have no face?" Du Lisi said.
"Brother did come to my place once," Zhang Tianhe said. As for Du Lisi taking the opportunity to kill him, he didn't mention a word.
"Then tell yourself, how should we settle these accounts?"
"Brother, I'm naturally here today. So, whether you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you." Zhang Tianhe said.
"You said this yourself. Don't regret it." Du Lisi said.
"A true man says what he says and there is no reason to go back on it."
"Okay! Someone's coming!" Du Lisi shouted.
I saw two burly men walking in from the outside and bowing to Du Lisi: "What are your orders, young master?"
"Take down this heartless, heartless man."
"yes!"
The two men came over and tied up Zhang Tianhe without allowing any further explanation.
Zhang Tianhe saw that there were many people in his family, so he did not resist and allowed them to tie him up.
"Push him out, cut out his heart and liver, and use it to drink wine to vent my hatred!" Du Lisi said.
"Yes!" The two sturdy men agreed and unbuttoned Zhang Tianhe's chest, revealing the flesh inside.
Then, he pulled out a bright sword from his waist, struck it on the ground, and pushed him out of the door.
"Young Master, wait a minute!" At this moment, two people walked over and knelt on the ground.
When everyone saw it, it was Hua Yao and Wu Sen.
"What do you two mean by this? Are you trying to plead for Zhang Tianhe?" Du Lisi said displeasedly when he saw it was the two of them.
"Young Village Master, we are not asking for mercy on his behalf, but we are trying to save you, the Village Master." Hua Yao said.
"Save me?" Du Lisi laughed when he heard this, "What a joke. It is Zhang Tianhe who is about to lose his head now, not me. I know that you two have always been on good terms with him. Could it be that you want to kill me today?" Are you wagging your lips and talking in front of me?"
"Young village leader, what you said is wrong. First of all, you said that you wanted Commander Zhang to come alone to talk about the recruitment. Now he is here alone, but you are taking advantage of the strength of the people to kill him. This is unjust, I'm afraid It is the ridicule of the people in the world; secondly, what you said is not bad. Your Du family is kind to Zhang Tianhe, but it is the old master who is good to him. It is obvious to all. The old master is the old master, and you are you. You should not be confused. You tried to frame Commander Zhang many times, but Commander Zhang didn’t care about you, and even gave you half of the cannons and shells that he took with his life. How generous is this? Again, Commander Zhang is now the third battalion of Pingquan Prefecture. The commander, the official of the court, is no longer the security captain he used to be. Governor Zhao Erxun ordered him to annihilate Heiyun Village within a month. He couldn't bear to do this for the sake of the old master, so he begged to go to the peak. Recruiting us will be a broad road and lead us all to the right path. Do you think we can hide here and make beards all our lives? I am not speaking for Commander Zhang, but the facts are before our eyes. Commander Zhang is our dark cloud. How can you kill the benefactor of the village? If you kill him today, won't you be cutting yourself off? Will the court forgive you? Will his brothers let you go? I hope the young master of the village will think twice!" Hua Yao said .
"This——." Du Lisi thought that what Hua Yao said was not unreasonable, and he began to feel conflicted in his heart.
"Young Village Leader, I don't have that many words. I only know that we have known Commander Zhang for more than a day or two. He is a courageous, knowledgeable, affectionate and righteous person. He is a man and must not be killed." Wu Sen said.
"However, there is no basis for his words. He said that the imperial court wants to recruit us. If this is just a trap, designed to deceive us, and then catch us all in one fell swoop, by then, we will be like a tiger falling from the sky and a dragon leaving the sea. The sky is not responding, the earth is silent, and I am isolated and helpless, what should I do?" Du Lisi asked.
"I think Commander Zhang is definitely not this kind of person. I dare to vouch for him with the lives of fifteen members of my family." Hua Yao said.
"You two, don't do anything yet and push him back." Du Lisi thought for a while and said to the two burly men outside the door.
The two men pushed Zhang Tianhe back again.
"Hua Yao just vouched for you with the lives of fifteen members of his family. Can you tell me whether this recruitment is true or false?" Du Lisi asked.
"Thank you two brothers." Zhang Tianhe said movedly to Hua Yao and Wu Sen.
"You don't have to be polite, Commander Zhang. We are also taking advantage of the situation. To be honest, it's not that the young master doesn't believe you. It's just that the lives and deaths of thousands of brothers are at stake. He has to act cautiously. I hope you won't care about it." Hua Yao said.
"I understand this. Of course I won't care about it. If I cared about that, then I wouldn't be here today." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Zhang Tianhe, you don't need to say those useless words, just ask, how can we trust your recruitment?" Du Lisi asked.
