So everyone repeatedly asked for some other information and then returned to the village. As soon as Li Yaozong returned to the village, he rushed directly to the village chief's house. Sure enough, Li Baye and others gathered at the village chief's house and sighed! They were actually a little surprised to see Li Yaozong suddenly appear!
However, Li Yaozong said before they could speak: "Eighth uncle, village chief, ask people to prepare the raw silk. It will be sold in just a few days!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief jumped up from his chair, his face glowing red for an instant, and there was no trace of sadness anymore! He grabbed Li Yaozong's arm and said, "Yao Zong, are you telling the truth? Have you seen someone?"
Li Yaozong told them about today's situation, and the village chief was so happy that he slapped his thigh! He said, "I haven't seen you these past few days, so I thought you had run away! Thanks to me, old man, I still have some prestige in the village, so I didn't let these people cause trouble! Okay, I'll inform the people in the village. You should also go home and take a rest! Your whole body smells sour!"
After speaking, the village chief picked up the gong hanging on the wall and rushed out! Li Yaozong also smiled bitterly when he smelled the smell on his body! How can I smell good when I've been rolling around on the Datong shop in the carriage shop these past few days?
After a while, the gong sounded, and then the village heard the village chief shout loudly: "Every household, please pay attention and prepare your own raw silk! Raw silk of different grades must be bundled together, so as not to ruin the name of our village." ! We will be selling raw silk in the next few days!"
Hearing the village chief's shout, the surprised villagers rushed out to inquire about the specific situation, but were scolded by the village chief one by one to go back to work, leaving only a few older ones to listen to the news.
After these people heard the specific news, they all gathered around Li Yaozong and praised him non-stop! However, Li Yaozong also saw the village chief glance at two of them with disgust, and knew that these two people might have said something unpleasant! It was probably from them that the news that he had run away was the first to come out!
But Li Yaozong didn't intend to argue with them. After all, helping the villagers was equivalent to helping himself, and there were still big things to do in front of him!
In the next two days, the villagers were busy sorting the raw silk and wrapping it properly. Moreover, these tasks were all done and would be ready soon. As for Li Yaozong, he has not been idle these two days. He goes to the intersection every day to check the situation, but there is no change at all in Luka!
It was around noon that day, and I was about to find a shady place to eat some pancakes I had brought with me. When I was taking a nap, I saw a group of soldiers coming from a distance! It looked like there were almost a hundred people!
Li Yaozong immediately regained his energy, and without even bothering to drink water or eat cakes, he quietly leaned towards Luka. At this time, everyone in Luka was attracted by the troop of soldiers and horses, and no one cared about a farmer standing not far away.
When the soldiers approached, the people in Lukar thought they were soldiers passing by, and the leading officer hurriedly ordered the helpers to remove the roadblock. But what I didn't expect was that when the officers and soldiers came to Luka, they stopped immediately. A commander-in-chief slapped his calf with a scabbard and said loudly: "Who is the leader here? Come out and speak!"
Seeing that the momentum was not right, several officers looked at each other. One of them came out and raised his hands and said, "I am the squad leader from Suzhou County. My surname is Zhou. What do you call this person?" ap.
The chief flag officer said carelessly: "Your surname is Zhou? I didn't expect that we are still from the same family, and my surname is also Zhou!"
The smile on the face of the class leader that week immediately became real! In this day and age, it always pays to have some connections! So I just heard him smile and say: "It turns out he is a brother of my family, but I don't know what Brother Zhou is doing here?"
Zhou Zongqi said: "I was ordered to receive an order from my superiors, saying that a group of Japanese pirates had fled ashore nearby, so I was specifically ordered to come and set up a trap to catch them! So you people will all obey my orders from now on! "
Team Leader Zhou hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He quickly went through it in his mind and determined that there was absolutely no Japanese pirates landing. Remembering that the county magistrate had already told him that someone might come to interfere, he immediately confirmed that the person in front of him was here. Troublemaker! So he slowly said: "Brother Zhou, but I also followed the orders from above to ban smuggling here! Look..."
Zhou Zongqi's eyes widened and he said: "Can't you tell which one is more important, the banning of smuggling or the encirclement and suppression of Japanese pirates? Don't talk about it now.
Count your numbers immediately. Now you are all under my command! "
Team Leader Zhou was still unwilling to give up and said, "Brother Zhou, I just don't know the orders from above..."
Zhou Zongqi sneered and said, "You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
After saying that, he took out an official document from his arms and shook it open in front of Team Leader Zhou! Although Squad Leader Zhou didn't see clearly what was written on it, he could clearly see the seal of the commander of the guard post above! He knew in his heart that this was most likely true!
However, he still gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, we will obey the order, but we must send a message to the county government, that..."
Zhou Zongqi pressed the knife on his waist and said, "No need, you are under my control now! Just stay nearby, or I will punish you for being a traitor to the Japanese!"
After saying that, he pointed to the open space on the roadside and said, "Just go and stay there, we will take over the entire place immediately!"
Team leader Zhou had no choice but to take his people and withdraw to the side. Although he wanted to report the news, he was frightened by Zhou Zongqi's words! Because since the proliferation of Japanese pirates, the prevention of Japanese pirates in Jiangnan has been a top priority. If you are accused of treason, you will definitely not end well!
He wanted to send someone to leave here secretly to report the news, but found that his people were vaguely surrounded by some soldiers, but there were still a few holes left. This shocked him and gave up his thoughts! Because he is a husband, he naturally knows the details!
Because the reason those soldiers came here was to encircle and suppress Japanese pirates, so as long as someone ran away, the guardsmen who came with a warrant to suppress the bandits would definitely think that the escaped person was a Japanese pirate, and killing them would be credit! To put it bluntly, it’s killing a good person and taking credit for it!
So Team Leader Zhou, who was so frightened that he was sweating all over, not only did not dare to move himself, but also had to persuade others not to move! Fortunately, the others also understood the truth, and after some persuasion by him, they rested quietly under the tree.
Zhou Zongqi and others occupied the road card in a grand manner, but they did not interrogate anyone. They directly threw the roadblock aside, and then gathered together to chat and chat.
Li Yaozong, whose eyes widened at the side, saw this scene and was so happy that he almost flew out of his chest! But he didn't want to be exposed at this time, so he pressed the bamboo hat and turned around to leave. When he was out of sight of everyone, he ran back and ran back to the village in one breath!
