The bold bully the timid, and the timid bully the timid. The law of the jungle preys on the strong. This has been true since ancient times.
Seeing Dongfang Chunsheng being beaten and ravaged, Liu Bu burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of contempt for Dongfang's grandfather and grandson.
When Liu Bu's laughter stopped, he cleared his throat and turned to Dongfang Chunsheng, who was already bruised and swollen. After all, you are the old idiot who can only recite books but cannot use them. Do you really think that in today's world, you, an old guy, can eat all over the world with just one mouth?"
Dongfang Chunsheng shouted loudly while blocking, "The world is uneasy, and it's unexpectedly that Zhuzi gained power."
Liu Bu spat and said disdainfully, "Bah, I'm not afraid to tell you! Within hundreds of miles of Huaxing County, my old Liu family is Wang Fa. If the head of the family is angry, not to mention this Huaxing County, the entire Quzhou City You have to shake your head three times, who are you who recites books and sells songs? How dare you speak out about the Liu family in public? Tui! You deserve to die if you don’t know current affairs, don’t know the general situation, and don’t know what is meant!”
At this time, the man with closed eyes standing next to Liu Bu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Liu Bu with disdain, and said, "Steward Liu, don't call me for such troubles in the future. I, Xu Zhuo, can't afford to lose this." people!"
Liu Bu laughed a few times but did not answer. Now that he had had enough teasing, he whispered and urged his evil servants to fight quickly!
Liu Yi, who was thinking hard on the countermeasures, clasped his fingers tightly at this moment, and was furious in his heart: A gentleman is a man of great virtue, how can these people be so shameless and want to take lives with just one inconvenience? Bah, a bunch of bastards!
After cursing in his heart, Liu Yiwu muttered to himself, "My father has always been gentle and gentle, and the Liu family has always been domineering. If my father is the third son of the Liu family, then Lingyuan Liu's style of doing things is far different from that of my father, who has always been gentle. It can be said that The world is so different. Is it because of this that my father lives in Hanxiang, Bei City, and is a stranger to the Liu family?"
Following Dongfang Yu's wailing, Liu Yi suddenly stopped thinking and was about to get up to help. Then he suppressed it again, and his heart was rolling up and down: Hey, I don't have the power to restrain the chicken, and I can't even reach the bird-driving realm. Go. I'm afraid that if the hero fails and becomes a bear, if his life is caught in it, the gain will outweigh the loss. Absolutely invincible! Invincible!
Liu Yi followed Xu Zhuo's example of holding grass in his mouth and rubbed his already slightly disheveled hair. Thoughts flashed through his mind, he smiled slightly and thought about it: It is said that aristocratic families value fame, generals value soldiers, and merchants value profits. This has been true since ancient times. At this moment, the autumn sun is shining high, and people come home at noon. Why not use your strength to fight and save them with the help of passers-by?
Liu Yi, who was like a cat, retreated slowly. After consciously leaving the detection range of Liu Bu and others, he sprinted towards the roadside. On the road, passersby of all kinds were seen in twos and threes, pushing carts and walking horses, chatting and laughing, and most of them were running towards Lingyuan County from west to east.
Liu Yi stood in the middle of the road and shouted to passers-by, "There's a fight in the cedar forest! People are going to die! There's a fight in the cedar forest! People are going to die! Everyone, go and see the excitement!"
Years of working as a restaurant clerk and immersed in studying have allowed Liu Yi to understand a lot of truths and develop a sharp, calm, and sophisticated character. He always handles things appropriately and skillfully.
He is an extremely smart guy. While shouting, he did not directly say that the attackers were the arrogant and domineering Liu family of Lingyuan. Of course, he did not expect these passers-by to have the courage to attack the Liu family. As long as As long as they are willing to go to the cedar forest.
Therefore, Liu Yi just kept repeating these two sentences.
I hope passersby will pass by as soon as possible, and I hope that Liu Bu will have some dignity and not kill people in public without any scruples.
At first, passers-by just stopped and pointed at Liu Yi in small groups. As the number of people increased, the bold young man began to walk towards the cedar forest, followed closely by the nosy hawkers and ruffians. It was autumn and there was nothing to do. Women, young men, merchants, scholars, and the prodigal son dressed as a knight, paused for a moment, and all walked into the cedar forest, whirling and bustling.
Liu Yi estimated that there were over a hundred people there, so he blended into the crowd and followed the crowd back to the cedar forest.
What happened was just as Liu Yi expected. After the discerning people recognized Liu Bu, the housekeeper of the Liu family, and Xu Zhuo, the coach of the Liu family, no one dared to step forward to dissuade them. They just formed a circle and pointed. The few prodigal sons who had just traveled with them with their swords also began to remain silent.
After all, not everyone has the courage to kill Xiaoxiao with a sword.
At this time, Dongfang Chunsheng was left with only weak wails and soft screams!
If he was beaten by Liu Bu's men for another moment, Dongfang Chunsheng's life would probably be left here today.
The scene was at a stalemate. Dongfang Yu saw the crowd and seemed to think of a way to take advantage of the situation. The little girl's eyes widened and she suddenly shouted, "Old dog Liu, the law does not punish everyone, let alone lynching. My grandfather and grandson only Because of one wrong word, you and others will be put to death. Everyone present today sees you acting in the opposite direction. Is it possible that you want to kill these three tribes?"
As soon as these heart-wrenching words came out, the cedar forest fell silent, and the whole place could hear a pin drop. Everyone focused their attention on Liu Bu, with a mixture of fear, suspicion, surprise, fear, and anger, but still no one dared to help.
The onlookers knew in their hearts that if the hero succeeded in giving a helping hand today, with the ruthless temper passed down from the Liu family, the mass grave would definitely have its own place the next day.
Liu Yi looked at Liu Bu through the crowd and saw Liu Bu standing there, somewhat in a dilemma.
A smirk flashed across the young man's lips. If he advances, the reputation of the Liu family will be damaged. If he retreats, the dignity of the Liu family will be damaged. The four servants had stopped and looked at Liu Bu, waiting for his next instruction.
Liu Bu turned around and looked back, and saw Xu Zhuo, the head coach of the Liu family's army, standing next to him, still closing his eyes and concentrating, as if this scene had nothing to do with him. Liu Bu looked up again and looked at more and more passers-by. His eyes were changing from fear to anger. He gradually became timid and began to lower his head to weigh the pros and cons.
Liu Yi felt a little anxious in his heart: I can wait, the Liu family can wait, and the onlookers can wait, but Grandpa Dongfang, who was seriously injured, can't wait!
So, Liu Yi took a deep breath, covered his mouth with his sleeve, mingled with the crowd, and shouted in a different voice, "The cloud covering the moon is not an inch of effort, and fighting for the world is not a temporary gain. The Liu family has been established for a hundred years, so why care about temporary ups and downs!"
The meaning of Liu Yi's words is very obvious, that is, he wants to tell Liu Bu that the Liu family's reputation cannot be improved by one incident, nor can it be erased by one incident. If he wants to seek bad luck on Dongfang's grandson in the future, there will be a lot of trouble. Take the chance.
As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, he relied on his dexterity to change his position. Everyone searched for the root to no avail, so they turned their attention to Liu Bu.
When Liu Bu heard this, he had a look of realization on his face, and he suddenly had a problem in his heart. He clasped his fists at passers-by and said righteously, "Officials have public laws, and people have private contracts! Dear fellow villagers, punishment must not be abused, and life must not be stolen. This is In the name of Wangbei Tower reciting books, my grandfather and grandson committed thieves. I caught them in the act, which is really shameful. Although Bu was a public lynching, he was doing justice for heaven. Today, I will impose a small punishment on the two Dongfang people. Don’t be sneaky from now on, otherwise you will be severely punished!”
After saying that, Liu Bu was in front and Xu Zhuo was behind, leading the vicious dog and servant, swaggering and retreating slowly and arrogantly.
After the Liu family and his entourage left, passers-by said a few words of comfort and dispersed one after another.
A scholar passed by Liu Yi, shook his head to his colleague seriously and said, "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense! Mr. Dongfang can't blame others!"
A scholar and prodigal came forward and asked curiously, "Brother, didn't Butler Liu say that their grandfather and grandson had stolen something? They should be taught a lesson!"
Before the scholar could respond, a businessman walked past quickly and said in a deep voice, "Do you believe this too? Forget it, I won't talk any more. If you want to know what's going on, go to Wangbei Tower and find out for yourself."
"Huh? How come my little girl has heard that the two generations of imperial masters of the Liu family in Quzhou have excellent family style and literary style? This time when I came to Saibei, in addition to honing my character and martial arts, I also wanted to see that The style of a descendant of the emperor's master." The woman with the sword beside the prodigal son said.
Seeing the different opinions of passers-by, Liu Yi thought to himself: Humph! There are thousands of people with thousands of faces. People will know which side is true!
Liu Yi suppressed his temper and waited patiently for everyone to go away amidst the noise of the chattering crowd!
When there was no one around, Liu Yi immediately ran over and untied Dongfang Yu. The two of them helped Dongfang Chunsheng, who could barely walk, and walked towards Wangbei Tower in silence!
Dongfang Chunsheng panted heavily, frowned deeply, and said in an extremely weak voice, "Let's go! Go back to Lingyuan and look north. A gentleman must not be bullied. When the injury is healed, you must go to the Liu family to ask for an explanation!"
Walking on the road, Liu Yi turned his head slightly to the right and looked in the direction of the tombstone: Mother, if you can entrust your dream to Yi'er tonight, I will ask dad to think about your name carefully.
Liu Yi looked to the left again at the lonely cedar forest: People like Liu Bu will never live long.
After all, "Shang Shu" says: If you don't respect Jue's virtue, you will fall into Jue's fate early.
