In the Luoxialing border mining area, during a conflict between Qiuhe Village and Xishan Village in Huangqiu Town, Yang Junshan, a young man from Xishan Village, broke through the Dantian of two incoming monks at the second level of the martial arts realm. This shocked the monks from every village in the entire mining area.
Regarding Yang Junshan's attempt to cripple people's cultivation, the monks in the villages in Mengyu County had mixed opinions. However, his "evil reputation" was completely spread this time. At least after that day of fighting, he often wandered around. But none of the suspicious people near the mine disappeared.
"Crack!"
A warm mutton-fat jade cup was slammed to the ground, splashing a piece of white jade debris.
"How dare he, how dare he kill my confidant, if this revenge is not avenged, I, Xiong Xiying, will lose my face!"
In the town hall of Huangqiu Town, Xiong Xiying was walking back and forth in the room and roaring like a trapped animal.
Below him, his clan uncle Xiong Manjiang stood there respectfully, with no expression on his face.
"No, we can't just let this matter go. This Xishan Village is just a newly promoted prominent family. He is so ambitious that he dares to provoke my Xiong family!"
Xiong Manjiang reminded expressionlessly: "It is true that the Yang family in Xishan Village is a newly-promoted family, but don't forget that they once took away a vein from Huangqiu Town, which was a Hanshan stone vein. This is not the most Only noble families in the late martial arts realm can do this, and the head of the family has repeatedly warned us not to provoke the Yang family head-on for the time being!"
Xiong Xiying became more and more irritable. Ever since he was deprived of his position as a true disciple, his temper had become more and more irritable, and his character had become more and more impetuous. He was originally assigned to guard the humiliating Huangqiu Town, but the family The middleman didn't want him to come and take office, but he was determined to come.
But now that he was here, his elder clan uncle, who was originally guarding Xiong Manjiang, could only give up his position as guard and obey his subordinates.
"It's just a small Yang family. Why is your grandfather so cautious? Since you can't go directly to trouble them, then just continue to stick to the previous strategy and continue to harass Huangtu Town. Tell the people in Huangtu Town that they The Yang family has offended our Xiong family! We must make them afraid and let them know who is the real boss in Mengyu County!”
The more Xiong Xiying spoke, the more atmosphere he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder. There was even a feeling of hysteria at the end.
Xiong Manjiang, who was standing next to him, still had a calm expression, as if he was already accustomed to Xiong Xiying's violent expression at this time.
"In fact, the people in the villages who have been harassing Huangtu Town recently have also been negligent. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer conflicts between the neighboring villages and towns of the two towns!"
"Why?"
Xiong Xiying stopped suddenly, stared at Xiong Manjiang with her red eyes, and said: "How dare they not take the orders of my Xiong family to heart, how dare they not listen to the orders of the town office?"
Xiong Manjiang raised his head and met Xiong Xiying's eyes, and said: "It is the sowing season now, and every village is seizing the time to cultivate the spiritual valley. For fear of missing the farming season, how can there be any thought to fight with weapons? Besides, the fighting between weapons nowadays It is often the side of Huangtu Town that has the upper hand. When the villages in our town fight with the other side, they are always beaten to the point of running away. Now that they don’t beat us, it’s good. How can we dare to find people
Trouble at home? "
"What, can't beat it?"
Xiong Xiying seemed to have heard some joke: "Aren't the children of my Xiong family mixed in among them? The martial monks among those mud-legged people are just worse than casual cultivators. If my children of the Xiong family participate, they will lose." ?"
Xiong Manjiang sighed and secretly thought that his nephew had damaged his brain over the years. He could only give orders from a high position and had no idea what the actual situation was. He could only patiently explain: "If it weren't for my Xiong family's children among them, Supervise and help, the conflict between the two towns and villages has ended long ago!"
This time Xiong Xiying finally stopped saying anything, but her blood-red eyes were fixed on him, obviously waiting for his explanation.
"The human heart! The human heart is not here with us!"
"This matter has to start when the giant locust plague broke out. At that time, the Yang family in Xishan Village took advantage of the situation and sent monks besides the family to assist the villages in Huangtu Town. The 'one pound' formation was the first one developed by Xishan Village. , which is very useful in eliminating giant locust plagues. The Yang family has made a lot of jade coins with this formation, but in most cases it is provided free of charge or at a low price to the villages in Huangtu Town."
"After the giant locust plague, the Yang family only occupied the unowned spiritual fields discovered in the wasteland town in the past two years, but all the spiritual fields close to other villages were handed over to neighboring villages for free."
"In the past two years after the disaster, life for ordinary spiritual farmers has been difficult. The price of spiritual grains in various places has remained high. It was also the Yang family who invested a large amount of money and grain in Huangtu Town, which suppressed the rise in spiritual grain prices."
"All these measures have allowed the Yang family to quickly regain the support of the people in Huangtu Town. Even Yang Tiangang's position as guard was voluntarily given up by the former guard."
Seeing the disdainful and sarcastic look on Xiong Xiying's face, Xiong Manjiang sighed inwardly. He knew what Xiong Xiying was thinking. It was nothing more than bullshit people's hearts. What the cultivators talk about is that whoever has the biggest fist should listen to whoever has their fists. People's hearts are such a thing. What use is it to a monk
In fact, he didn't really want to tell Xiong Xiying anything about winning the hearts of the people in the world. All he wanted to do was to ensure that the future heir of the family had a minimum of skills and knowledge, and could not rely on the size of his fist to do everything. solve.
Although Xiong Manjiang sighed in his heart, he continued to speak: "On the other hand, in the past two years after the giant locust plague in Huangqiu Town, the spiritual fields that appeared within the jurisdiction of the town were forcibly occupied by children from all walks of life. For this reason, there were Villagers were killed and injured because of fighting over land!”
"After the disaster, people's livelihood was difficult, but the family was hoarding food, constantly driving up the price of food, and making a lot of jade coins. The children of the family even took advantage of the opportunity to attack everywhere. Taking advantage of the shortage of spiritual grain, they wantonly annexed the spiritual fields in the hands of spiritual farmers, and destroyed the original spiritual fields. All the owners of Lingtian have become tenants of the Xiong family..."
"Okay, that's enough!" Xiong Xiying roughly interrupted the uncle's story.
Xiong Manjiang just paused and then continued: "In this way, when the guards ordered to provoke conflicts between neighboring villages in the two towns, the villagers in this town were just doing their jobs, while the wasteland town was able to unite as one under the leadership of Yang. , now the result of the fight between the two sides..."
"I said stop talking!"
