The sky is blue, and there are white clouds floating in the blue sky, as soft as cotton candy. The stream is murmuring, and the murmur of the stream tears up the marshmallows one by one. The birds are singing in the forest. It was peaceful at first, but suddenly ambushes broke out, completely breaking the tranquility.
The men and horses with purple flags rushed up the mountain and fought with the defenders with yellow flags on the top of the mountain. The chaos soon spread to the other side of the mountain. There were mines one after another on the mountain, which were used to dig cinnabar. The people guarding the mines of the Yang family were caught off guard by the attack and could only retreat steadily.
There are only 20 or 30 people in the Yangjiazhai who guard the mine. Recently, the atmosphere has become tense, and the number has doubled. This is just to deal with emergencies, not to guard the mine, because Yang Xianda did not expect that there would be someone Attack the mine directly.
This mine has already involved too many aspects. Whoever dares to attack the mine rashly will detonate the Mercury Mountain into an active volcano and turn the current petty conflict into a real war. Presumably no one dares to take the responsibility. such a risk.
However, Yujiazhai actually launched a blatant attack on the mine. The Yangjiazhai guards couldn't resist, so they fled to the back of the mountain. The flags and flags on the back mountain were unfurled, and there was a sound of shouts, and there were forces from all directions fighting together.
The strong mine guard who fled to the back mountain was stunned, and he didn't care to analyze the reason for the strange scene in front of him, so he shouted loudly: "Yujiazhai is attacking the mountain, Yujiazhai has taken our mine!"
When Yang Xianda heard this, he became anxious, how could he have the time to compete with Yang Xianmin, their brothers turned against each other, and they were fighting for Mount Mercury, if this mine was taken over by someone with a foreign surname, what would the two brothers fight for. Yang Xianda immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Take back the mine, kill me!"
Yang Xianmin also regarded Mercury Mountain as his own, and when he heard that Yujiazhai took advantage of the fire to loot the mine, he immediately shouted and led his troops to the front of the mountain. The two brothers were fighting to the death just now, now the foreign enemy is invading, they join forces immediately, it is the brothers fighting against each other to defend against their aggression. The snail horn disputes are only for profit.
As soon as the two brothers went up the mountain, Guoji Gelong and Zhan Ning'er led their own troops to follow, and they were also very annoyed at the act of looting the family village.
Yu Fushun, the head of Yujiazhai village, led his troops to successfully expel the strong men of the Yang family guarding the mountain. He had just occupied the mine and planted the purple flag on a high place. "The four major factions counterattacked Guangmingding." The terrain counterattacked, and when Zhan Ning'er and Guoji Gelong led their troops to join the battle group, they gradually couldn't resist.
However, the subordinates of the Guoji family, the Zhan family, and the Yang family are not fellow travelers, especially because some people were injured in the battle just now, and they harbored resentment. Happens often. It turned out that the four major factions joined forces to attack Yujiazhai, but in the end it turned into a melee between the five major factions.
The green flag of the Guoji family, the red flag of the Zhan family, the two yellow flags of the Yang family, and the purple flag of Yujiazhai, five kinds of flags competed to be planted on the flag tower. Cheers, the morale is boosted, it is really the king's flag that changes on the top of the mountain.
In the midst of a fierce battle, a white flag suddenly appeared on the banner tower. A big man stood holding the flag, drew his sword and looked around. The five major factions who were fighting in the mine pit, mine cave, and mine tunnel suddenly stopped fighting in amazement. Countless forces nearby There are only a few of them, why is there another white flag
In this era, the white flag has been regarded as a sign of peace or surrender, but these tribal villages have never done the thing of flying the white flag, and they didn't think about it for a while, but suspiciously thought that someone was going to divide it. a cup of soup.
A moment later, another person appeared on the flag tower. Zhan Ning'er and Guoji Gelong's eyes widened at the same time when they saw this person. This person was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, his hair was tied into a bun, a hairpin of suet jade was inserted, and a pair of blue satin black leather boots stood proudly.
Ye Xiaotian stood on the flag tower with his hands behind his back, held up his official authority, and shouted in a deep voice: "You troublesome people, you are so courageous! As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he is so reckless. For the sake of mine ownership, he gathers people to fight, causing death and injury. Pillow, don't you hear that the laws of the country are clear?"
Ye Xiaotian thought about it, and felt that if he wanted to stop the fighting and quell the dispute, he could only use his status as an official to guide the conflict to be resolved from an official perspective. Based on this, there is still work to be done. If the keynote of this matter is set as a conflict of interests between various tribes or relatives, then Bao Qingtian will come, and it will be impossible to sort out this mess.
As Ye Xiaotian said, his eyes slowly scanned the people standing in the mine with weapons to increase his coercion. That Guoji Gelong is extremely tall, standing in the crowd like a giant, Ye Xiaotian saw him at a glance, and when he met his eyes, he was stunned: "The Guoji tribe here is indeed the Guoji Gelong's tribe. "
When Guoji Gelong saw Ye Xiaotian, he glared and shouted: "Ye Xiaotian? Hahaha, it's really you! It really is you! Ye, there is a way to heaven, you don't go, there is no way to hell, you break in, now you are here A certain family's territory, let me see how arrogant you are!"
Ye Xiaotian secretly groaned, with this reckless man around, I'm afraid it will create some resistance to his mediation of conflicts, seeing that with Guoji Gelong's loud shout, the people in the mine started to commotion, Ye Xiaotian immediately shouted sharply: "Guoji Ge Long, what do you want to do? I am an official appointed by the imperial court. I was ordered by the magistrate to come here to break up the dispute. You are a grassroots. If you see this official, you will not kneel or worship, and dare to speak wildly. Is it a canonical punishment!"
Guoji Gelong was choked up when he heard this, his father has the status of an official bestowed by the imperial court: he will inherit the role of commander in the future, but now he is still a white body, the identity of the young master of Liangyue Valley In the officialdom, he is just a plain-headed commoner. Ye Xiaotian is really speechless when he speaks in an official tone.
Seeing that Guoji Gelong was shocked, Ye Xiaotian felt secretly proud, snorted coldly, and swept his face again, but didn't want to see Zhan Ning'er at a glance, Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed, just about to shout out, suddenly remembered where he stands today.
He is an official of the imperial court. He is ordered by Tongren Zhang Zhifu to settle the disputes among the tribes. He has maintained this detached status so that it is convenient for him to intervene in the mediation. If he is involved in other relationships with one of the interested parties, who would believe it? He will deal with it fairly, I'm afraid it will provoke a lot of criticism.
Ye Xiaotian quickly suppressed his joy, and gave Zhan Ning'er a quick wink. Zhan Ning'er saw Lang Jun's majesty, and the reprimand left everyone speechless, she was so happy, Ye Xiaotian gave her a wink, Zhan Ning'er felt ashamed, and immediately returned the wink to him Son.
Zhan Ning'er's winking eyes came over, and Ye Xiaotian's heart suddenly swayed: "Yo, my Ning'er can wink at me, isn't this style so charming. No... Ning'er, this is... don't you understand what I mean? ?" Ye Xiaotian just thought of this, and Zhan Ning'er was already joyfully and coquettishly calling out: "Brother Xiaotian~~~"
This call was so sweet and sweet, like pouring out a jar of honey, and then Zhan Ning'er went up and down in the mine tunnel several times, ran to Ye Xiaotian's side, and said happily: "Brother Xiaotian, why are you here? ... Did you come to see me specially?"
When she ran all the way over, Ye Xiaotian kept winking at her, but Zhan Ning'er only paid attention to where she was going, and didn't pay attention to his eyes at all. Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. , then she is not called Zhan Ning'er anymore.
Zhan Ning'er yelled affectionately, and the bottom immediately became confused, and Yang Xianda, who was holding a three-pronged sky fork, was delighted, it seemed that there was another helper. Guoji Gelong immediately shouted loudly: "Ha! Everyone has seen it, this Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er are not clear, he came to mediate the dispute? He is clearly here to help Yang Xianda and the Zhan family, Everyone, ignore him, let's settle the matter of our Mercury Mountain by ourselves!"
Immediately someone responded to what Guoji Gelong said, and Ye Xiaotian yelled: "Guoji Gelong, shut up! You dare to deceive the public! Isn't Mercury Mountain under the rule of my Tongren Mansion? I was ordered by the magistrate. Does Yuegu dare to ignore Zhang Zhifu's order? Stop fighting immediately, the villagers of Zhuangding village disperse, leaving only the principal to speak, immediately! Immediately!"
At this moment, Zhan Ning'er also understood, knowing that she made a mistake and caused trouble for her lover, so she quickly shut up. Following Ye Xiaotian's order, hundreds of Zhang Zhifu's personal soldiers rushed up, stood on the top of the mine pit, and pointed their spears at the people below.
People from all sides in the mine looked at each other in blank dismay. For this reason, this battle was obviously impossible to fight. They also wanted to know what attitude Zhang Zhifu had on this. Anyway, as the Lord of Tongren, his opinion should be taken seriously of.
As a result, everyone restrained the people one after another, left the mine and walked to the ground. Among them, Yu Fushun, the head of the Yujiazhai village, was the most annoyed.
After careful preparation and ingenious deployment, he finally took down Mercury Mountain in one fell swoop. As long as he stands firm today and repels the Yang family's counterattack, it will be an established fact that his family occupies Mercury Mountain.
At that time, if force is used, they will occupy a favorable location. If there is a lawsuit, it is not unreasonable for them to belong to the family. It can be completely owned by him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaotian would appear in the middle of the journey, and even under the prefect name of Zhang Zhifu, he ruined his good deed. Ye Xiaotian called them outside, swept them coldly, and called out: "Come here! Change clothes!"
Ye Xiaotian has made up his mind that if he wants to gain a foothold here, he must occupy the truth. As an irrelevant outsider, if he wants to occupy the truth, he can only play from the perspective of officialdom and occupy the righteous name. Just now he was called by Ning'er affectionately, his official prestige has lost a lot, now he put on official robes to remind everyone of his legal and reasonable status.
In front of thousands of people, Ye Xiaotian calmly wore official clothes, official hats, and official boots, and someone brought a quiet card and an avoidance card. Six guards stood behind him, and dozens of attendants formed wild goose wings. In a row, Ye Xiaotian put one on an ashlar, and actually regarded this mine as a court.
