God's Taoism is free and easy, starting with taking in the clam girl

Chapter 125 Confused
A group of people on skinny horses came slowly along the muddy path.

Walking in the forefront is a guard with a knife. He looks around vigilantly, as if he is patrolling the surrounding dangers.

Behind him, a lean middle-aged man in a blue official robe was carrying a thin horse.The middle-aged man is not tall, and the most striking thing about his body is his long beautiful beard, which flutters slightly in the breeze.

Xie Lao Liuxin went to the elder's house to discuss, but his eyes were attracted by the mighty group of people,

When he recognized the leader, he couldn't help shrinking his eyes, but immediately put this thought behind him.

The leader is Geng Renjie, the county official of Anyuan County!
And behind him, there are a few strong fluctuations, like fireflies in the dark night, even though they are hidden behind the team, they are still extremely dazzling.

Not to mention Anyuan County, where the seventh rank can dominate, this force can be regarded as a moderate force even in the county town.

'What exactly is going on?Could it be that the county lord has discovered something abnormal in the village, and wants to come and attack Master Shenshi in person? '

Xie Lao Liu was terrified in his heart, and subconsciously leaned forward,
"I don't know why the county lord came to this village. As far as I know, the gods of this village are dedicated to their work and love the people. The villagers are simple and honest, and the people live and work in peace. Battle..."

Seeing the magistrate putting up such a big battle, Xie Lao Liu's first reaction was to think that his village had committed a crime, which aroused the magistrate's personal crusade.

If he had encountered such a situation in the past, he, Xie Lao Liu, would probably be the first to slip away with oil on his feet, but since he and his clan lived in the village, it was the most carefree time for them.

Although there were some minor conflicts with the nephew of the village elder just now, it could not change his overall view of the village.

After all, after coming for more than a month, it was the first time that his own clansmen had been arrested.

Of course, he also understood that his family members also followed his instructions and did not revolt rashly.If he really took action, it was still a question of whether Zhou Laowu could restrain his own clansmen.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, there were no casualties in the Zi family, and all he wanted was to show an attitude.

Closer to home!
Xie Lao Liu stepped forward alone and blocked Geng Renjie and his party. Seeing this, several other shopkeepers seemed to understand something, and stood on the left and right sides of Xie Lao Liu, forming a human wall, blocking Geng Renjie's front.

Xie Lao Liu clearly realized that his own strength was no doubt like a mantis arm in front of everyone, but he still did it resolutely.

He looked at the brothers who were with him with a gratified expression. Even though powerful enemies were around, even though he had made up his mind to leave forever, he still followed him.

He knew that his obstruction could not decide everything, but he only wanted to buy some time for Master Shenshi.

"Be sure to delay! Even if there is only one breath!"

"Master Shenshi, if you can't beat him, take the villagers and my people and hide quickly!!"

As if hearing his inner voice, Geng Renjie glanced at him with a half-smile,
"Don't worry, I'm here to find the God of Earth..."

"Boom"

When Xie Lao Liu heard that the tense string in his heart suddenly broke, he was really afraid of something.

Could it be that the county venerable found out that Master Shenshi beheaded the River God privately, and attributed the severe drought in Anyuan County to the master?
The conflict between the God of the River and Master Shenshi. As the pioneer of the God of the River, he participated in the whole process from beginning to end. It is clear at a glance who is right and who is wrong.

Anyuan River God wants to nip potential threats in the bud, so suppressing dissidents is not a secret among Anyuanhe's generals.

Originally, conflicts between gods and gods usually resulted in winners and losers, as long as someone claimed the priesthood and fulfilled the duties of the river god, that's all.

Unexpectedly, the drought that has never happened in a century is now encountered, and the entire Anyuan County is in a situation of extreme water shortage.

Xie Lao Liu thought of a lot in an instant, and the only thing he could explain was this.

"Earth God, he's not at home..." Xie Lao Liu blurted out a random excuse in his haste, but as soon as he said the words, even he realized that something was wrong, so he quickly changed his words:

"No, the old man, the Earth God, has exhausted his divine power. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see people at this time. Please wait a moment for the county lord, maybe follow me to the elder's home here to talk..."

Seeing Master Geng's penetrating eyes, Xie Lao Liu became more and more confused when talking, and suddenly had an idea and thought of a good place to go.

"Can you decide this matter?"

Seeing that Xie Laoliu's expression became more and more flustered, Geng Renjie had already seen through Xie Laoliu's thoughts, but he was not in a hurry to expose it, and even thought it was strange and amusing. Seeing his intentions, he said with a half-smile:

"I have long heard that there is an elder with an extraordinary reputation in the village. I have long wanted to visit. I just got your invitation today. I think it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. I just go to meet him for a while to see if the name is worthy of the name." .”

……

When the group came near the elder's house, they saw that the somewhat tall and grand house was already surrounded by people.

In the middle of the crowd, there were two shopkeepers holding down a strong man, no matter how much the strong man struggled, there was no sign of breaking free.

Seeing more and more villagers coming up, the man rolled his eyes and wailed loudly: "Folks, foreigners are bullying the locals. They want to cheat, and they took my goods and not only refused to pay, but also framed me... "

The sound was either miserable or miserable, if it hadn't been witnessed by everyone, it would be hard to believe that such a bleak wail came from such a strong man.

Zhou Laowu secretly glanced at the villagers surrounding him from the corner of his eye, hoping to see the look of hatred on their faces.

It's a pity that until he quickly glanced at everyone's faces, he didn't see what he wanted.

On the contrary, more people showed cheerful expressions, as if they had relieved the hatred in their hearts.

Seeing this, Zhou Laowu felt a "thump" in his heart, knowing that he had fallen into a situation of isolation and helplessness.He knew that what he did on weekdays was not pleasing, but he didn't expect that he had only come to this village for a few days, and the villagers in the whole village had lost their goodwill towards him.

Even being bullied by foreigners can't arouse the indignation of the villagers!
How dare they!
I am the nephew of the village elder!

I just caught a few crabs, how could I have fallen to such a point!

How dare this group of stupid and stupid villagers not give the elder face!

Shocked and angry, Zhou Lao Liu forgot to struggle for a while, and just stared blankly at Zhou Shun's big house.

He knew that his only hope was whether his uncle, who was an elder, was willing to defend himself.

At any time, there was more and more movement outside the door, and there was also some movement in the elder's house.

Obviously, thanks to the recent good development of the village, as the village elder, Zhou Shun no longer has to wake up early and stay late as before. At this point in time, he is still asleep.

Shortly after,
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Zhou Shun, the elder of Yiyishi Village, finally arrived after a long time.

Soon, the two shopkeepers told Zhou Shun the ins and outs without taking any position.

Zhou Shun glanced at his nephew whose hands were being held down by two shopkeepers, couldn't help but frowned slightly, then squeezed out a smile and said:

"Thank you to the two shopkeepers who have always provided us with cheap and high-quality materials for a stone village. Zhou Shun is grateful and dare not forget."

Having said that, he respectfully bowed three times to the two shopkeepers.

Then he changed the subject:
"It's just that the village rules of our stone village are our own internal affairs. The two villagers who tied up my village and came to my place to make trouble, didn't they go too far?"

The two shopkeepers looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't expect that what they were fully sure of would hit a wall with the always fair and just elder.

Obviously, between the so-called "outsider" and his nephew, even the elders, who have always been fair and just, are not exempt.

She even openly protected her nephew in full view!
"Elder, what do you mean?" Xie Laoqi was angry. He didn't expect that with the sixth brother who worked hard and risked his life to run around for the village, he would not be able to compare with the local hooligan. can be openly favored.

And when he was paying for the village, his clansman was bullied but could not get fair treatment!

If he hadn't remembered that the sixth brother had confessed that he could not reveal his identity easily, he would have wished to reveal his identity immediately. Although he was not a human race, he was also a crab clan recognized by Master Shenshi!
As soon as Xie Laoqi finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Shun. Many villagers who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal even greeted each other two by two, asking people close to them to come and watch, as if they were watching an event. A rare event.

However, what happened today has indeed injected new vitality into Yiyishi Village, which has become increasingly calm like a pool of stagnant water. The enthusiasm of the villagers is high, and countless villagers are full of enthusiasm. They all opened their eyes to see the process and results of the matter.

The reactions of the villagers had a different meaning in Zhou Shun's eyes. From his point of view, he was only protecting the interests of his own villagers, but judging from the expressions of the villagers, it seemed that they were not satisfied with what he had done. There was even a trace of resentment.

'How is this going?Are they blaming me for not being decisive enough? '

Zhou Shun was startled and angry. He encountered such a terrible thing when he got up early in the morning, and it aroused the resentment of the villagers.

You must know that the reason why he was able to hold the important position of the village elder was not because his family was strong, but because he always acted in accordance with public opinion. He was elected as an elder by the villagers.

Now, because the two shopkeepers are dissatisfied with the villager's violation of the village rules, so many villagers are dissatisfied.

As soon as he thought of this, he became even more unhappy, the displeasure was almost written on his face, and his tone became stiff:

"What do I mean? No matter which village rule he violated, how to deal with it is an internal matter of our village, and you don't need to be in charge of it. I admit that you have brought a lot of benefits to our village. But that's no reason for you to meddle in our village's internal affairs."

Xie Laoqi's face was flushed, and he covered his heaving chest with his hands, as if he was suppressing his anger.

The salesman next to him reacted the same way as Xie Laoqi, but those who are sensible can already see that the patience of the two of them is about to reach the limit. If they can't be resolved in time, the outbreak may happen sooner or later. .

As soon as Zhou Shun said the words, he carefully observed the expressions of the villagers, and saw that the surrounding villagers looked strange, as if they were holding back something forcibly, but no one showed a look of satisfaction.

There was a "thud" in his heart, the secret channel was broken, and the villagers didn't seem to like his handling this time.

"Is my handling in the wrong direction, or do you think my attitude is not tough enough?"

He vaguely felt that it was the first type, but at this moment he was already on the verge of riding a tiger. If he admitted his mistakes in front of everyone, I am afraid that the prestige he had accumulated for so many years would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The arrow had to be shot on the string, and there was no turning back when the bow was drawn. Even though he knew that his handling method seemed to be unconvincing to everyone, he could only bite the bullet and move on.

Zhou Shun's heart hardened, and he said coldly to the two:
"If Zhou Laowu really broke the village rules, I believe in me, our village will deal with it on its own. As for the two distinguished guests, please go back."

As soon as this remark came out, boos came from around.

And the two Xie Laoqi who could not bear it anymore finally broke out completely, and an astonishing momentum broke out from the two of them.

Everyone only felt that the strong wind was blowing, and it roared towards everyone's faces, and everyone was blown by the strong wind for a while, and they couldn't even open their eyes.

This was the case for the villagers who were just watching from the sidelines, but Zhou Shun, who was the first to bear the brunt, felt that his body was hit by a gust of wind, and he couldn't help taking a few steps back, and his body staggered. Can fall to the ground.

"Thanks, crab..."

Zhou Shun turned around and was about to thank him, but saw that the person who supported him was the leader of the group of shopkeepers, Xie Lao Liu, so he froze a thousand words in his mouth.

"Don't thank me, I, Xie Lao Liu, can't bear it."

Xie Lao Liu waved his hand, walked over Zhou Shun calmly to Xie Lao Qi and the other two, and patted their shoulders.

"Let's go, Lao Qi, Lao Jiu, since the elders have to solve it by themselves, let's not make trouble for them."

"Sixth brother?" Xie Laoqi and the two were shocked when they heard the words, and they looked at the sixth brother who had always taken good care of their clansmen in disbelief. They didn't expect him to have no hesitation when facing the elder's difficulties. flinched.

"Family ugliness must not be publicized, we must trust God!" Xie Lao Liu glanced at Geng Renjie and his party who were watching the fun not far away, and said in a low voice.

Xie Laoqi and Xie Laojiu didn't say a word, they took a deep look at Zhou Shun and Zhou Laoliu, as if they wanted to engrave their arrogant and complacent expressions in their minds.

Just when they were about to calm down and leave, a voice sounded above everyone.

"Elder Zhou, are you an old fool? You dare to openly protect the bad guys who violated the rules set by Master Shenshi."

Everyone followed the sound, but saw a young man holding half a roasted bamboo rat standing on the roof beside him, looking at the elder and elder Zhou with indignation.
