Chapter 133 Riot I
Lin Fei stood there, dressed in black and holding a sword.
Lin Feigang is over 70 years old. Although he was a bandit in his younger days, he has long since cleaned up his name. In recent years, Lin Feigang has been living a peaceful and quiet life in Linjiazhuang, enjoying his retirement surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
A few days ago, however, bad news suddenly came: Lin Feigang's only grandson, Lin Qing, was arrested and imprisoned by Wang Wenzhou and Lord Wang.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Lin Fei fainted. When he awoke, he immediately sent someone to find Wang Wenzhou, hoping to use their connections to rescue his grandson.
Wang Wenzhou wouldn't refuse such a small sum of money offered to him! But are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? Only ten thousand taels of silver? Is ten thousand taels of silver even considered money? You're just looking down on me! It costs one hundred thousand taels of silver to win over a courtesan, and you think you can get someone out of trouble with ten thousand taels? Dream on!
Lin Fei had just imagined the scene of Wang Wenzhou refusing. Well, actually, Wang Wenzhou didn't completely refuse; he just felt the amount of money was a bit small. So, Wang Wenzhou first sent someone to post a notice at the entrance of the yamen.
The notice reads as follows: Brothers, friends! The Four Great Talents of Hanshan have fallen into my hands! Those with grudges, settle your scores; those with grievances, seek justice! Come on, friends, kick them while they're down! I don't have enough dirt on me yet, so anyone who comes up with a scoop will be rewarded handsomely!
The four families of talented scholars were used to running rampant in Hanshan. Now that people saw that they had fallen on hard times, their enemies soon came to complain.
Wang Wenzhou accepted all cases, whether they were fabricated, baseless accusations, or sophistry and false accusations. As long as they were lawsuits against the Four Great Talents, Wang Wenzhou would take them all.
Wang Wenzhou then intensified his interrogation, using a "fatigue offensive" on the four scholars. Unable to withstand the pressure, the four scholars confessed all the bad things they had done.
Ma Deyun and his group were in a better position. Although many of their actions were shady, they weren't capital crimes punishable by death or the extermination of an entire family. Lin Qing, on the other hand, was different. In the case of Wei Shilin's massacre of his entire family, once he confessed, not even a miracle could save him.
A jailer whom Lin Fei had just bribed brought Lin Qing's confession, but Lin Fei didn't believe it. The Lin family village had long since stopped engaging in robbery and plunder. At first, he thought Wang Wenzhou was framing him, but being under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to comply. Lin Fei scraped together the money by selling everything he owned. He understood that Wang Wenzhou was doing all this for the money.
To save his grandson, Lin Feigang was willing to go bankrupt.
But Lin Hu knelt before him and recounted the entire incident. Lin Fei was furious! This was a capital crime punishable by the extermination of an entire family!
More than two hundred lives were lost in Linjiazhuang, just like that?
Lin Fei was unwilling to accept this! Although I am over 70 years old, I am as old as Lian Po. Can I still eat? I'm going to rebel!
Lin Feigang had just decided to break into the prison to rescue his grandson and then join the peasant army. These men in black were all strong men from Lin Family Village, many of whom had followed Lin Feigang as bandits in their younger days and were ruthless in killing.
"Godfather! Wang Wenzhou is inside the Tower of No Return! I'll lead men right now, storm in, and take his head!" Lin Hu ran over, knelt on one knee, and reported to Lin Feigang.
Lin Fei shook his head and said, "Saving Qing'er is the priority! Killing people in the street is just to distract the yamen runners. You take some men and surround the No Return Tower, but don't attack. Once Wang Wenzhou's main force arrives, you immediately lead your men to retreat. Mu'er and I will take the remaining brothers to rescue Qing'er."
"Yes!" Lin Hu stood up, waved his hand, and led dozens of people toward the Tower of No Return.
……
The Tower of No Return is now embroiled in a fierce battle.
Old Zhang was exhausted and leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
Wang Wenzhou frowned deeply. This couldn't go on. The men in black were all young and strong, while their main fighting force consisted of old men. Fortunately, there were a few old guys like Li Mu'en; otherwise, with just Old Zhang's granddaughter and her companion, Wang Wenzhou would probably already be dead.
Although the policewomen had practiced some martial arts these days, it was all just for show. Now, they were all trembling and wiping away tears.
Damn it! This won't do. Wang Wenzhou doesn't want to lose his life like this.
"Minmin, don't cry!" Wang Wenzhou whispered.
"My lord! I don't... I don't want to cry... but... I can't help it..." Zhao Fengmin said, wiping away her tears.
"Minmin, I'm afraid if we don't fight to the death today, we'll have no way to survive. Do you want to live or die?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
"I want to live!" Zhao Fengmin said, feeling wronged.
"Okay!" Wang Wenzhou nodded and said softly, "Later, when I cut you, no matter how much it hurts, you have to say it doesn't hurt! Understand?"
"Huh?" Zhao Fengmin looked at Wang Wenzhou with a puzzled expression.
"Minmin, we've been together for so long! At this critical moment, would I lie to you?" Wang Wenzhou said seriously.
"Yes!" In Zhao Fengmin's mind, Lord Wang was a man of both literary and martial talents, a true hero, and he would not lie to her.
Wang Wenzhou picked up a jar of wine, took a sip, and said, "Jiaojiao, bring me the sword, I'll use it for a moment!"
Zhang Jiao said irritably, "Stop messing around! I have to go downstairs to relieve Grandpa Li later!"
Wang Wenzhou snatched the sword, slashed his palm, and dripped blood into the wine jar. Then, wielding the sword, he danced wildly, chanting, "To prevent the world from being destroyed, to maintain world peace, to uphold love and truth in evil, Conan, Luffy, Naruto, and Pikachu, attack! Pikachu!"
Everyone was stunned! Was Lord Wang performing some kind of ritual?
Wang Wenzhou poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Zhao Fengmin, saying, "At this critical moment of life and death, I will no longer hide anything. When I was a child, I studied under a master who taught me a secret technique. I have already used this secret technique on this wine. After drinking this bowl of wine, although it will not make you invulnerable to swords and spears, you will not feel pain, and your strength will increase dramatically!"
"Minmin, drink a bowl of wine first, and try it." Wang Wenzhou nodded solemnly to Zhao Fengmin.
Zhao Fengmin was prepared to be stabbed. She picked up her wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.
Wang Wenzhou swung his sword and slashed Zhao Fengmin's thigh, instantly staining her white thigh with blood.
"Minmin, does it hurt?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
"It doesn't hurt!" Zhao Fengmin was sweating profusely from the pain.
"Ah..." The policewomen all looked at each other incredulously. How could this not hurt?
"Minmin, you must bear it! You absolutely cannot let them see that you are in pain!" Wang Wenzhou tore off a strip of cloth, disinfected it with alcohol, and then bandaged Zhao Fengmin's wound.
"Yes!" Zhao Fengmin gritted her teeth and nodded.
Wang Wenzhou did this, of course, to get the policewomen to fight desperately. This is actually a common brainwashing method used by scammers, known in psychology as psychological suggestion or "hypnosis."
The Boxers of the late Qing Dynasty, who claimed to be invulnerable to swords and bullets, dared to open their hearts and charge into the arms of foreign guns and cannons without hesitation. This was all due to psychological suggestion.
Wang Wenzhou handed the wine jar to Nianxia and said, "Drink! Everyone, have a few sips! Later, I'll lead you out of this encirclement!"
Nianxia glanced at Zhao Fengmin and saw that Zhao Fengmin's expression was calm and there was no sign of pain on her face, so she immediately believed it.
Nianxia took a few big gulps of wine and immediately felt a surge of heat within her, giving her inexhaustible strength. Her hands and legs stopped trembling, and she exclaimed, "The master's secret technique is amazing! Sisters, today, we'll fight our way out with the master!"
