Chapter 213: A few stupid relatives

~8 min read 1,490 words

At this moment, Luo Feng, who was guarding the city, heard that the other party had caught Big Brother's relatives, and didn't dare to make a decision, so he immediately turned to notify Jiang Jinshi.

Jiang Jinshi's figure soon appeared on the city head. His gaze swept over the group of people in front of the battle, and no expression could be seen on his face.

The squad leaders who got the news also followed, all wearing armor and holding weapons. As long as Big Brother gave an order, they could immediately rush out of the city and do a big job.

The Vice Colonel took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Thief, this official knows that you are not a person without humanity. Look at these blood-related relatives, can you bear to let them die because of you? Open the city, I will protect their safety, and also give your brothers a way to live."

"Big Brother! What to do?"

Luo Feng gripped the long spear in his hand, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more intense.

He didn't expect that the other party, as a parent official of the commoners, would actually do such a low-down thing, which made everyone lose their sense of proportion for a while.

Everyone present, except Luo Feng and Jiang Ze, didn't know about the matter between Jiang Jinshi and his relatives. They only knew that the other party caught Big Brother's relatives to threaten them, and what they thought of was how to rescue them.

At this time, Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui, the two brothers, kowtowed fiercely, their voices carrying a crying tone: "Xiao Shi! Nephew! Save us! We are all your relatives! You can't watch us die!"

The aunt beside him also chimed in with a sharp voice: "Yeah, Xiao Shi, when you were young, Auntie even held you! Hurry up and listen to the official master, open the city!"

Nie Fengyun couldn't help it anymore and said to Jiang Jinshi: "Big Brother, open the city gate and let me go out! I will definitely save the people back!"

"Not in a hurry!"

Jiang Jinshi was not only not in a hurry but also intended to see what other tricks the other party had.

At this time, Li Feng said to Liu Xuecheng: "Jun Governor, I and that Jiang Jinshi are fellow villagers, why don't I go and persuade him."

"Allowed!"

Li Feng was very proud, walking to the front of the battle with a pace that didn't recognize his relatives, and said: "Jiang Jinshi, do you still recognize me?"

"Li Feng?"

Luo Feng exclaimed. He wasn't a stranger to this person. After all, that batch of people in Da Jiang Cun were all trained by him!

"I didn't expect Captain Luo to recognize me, a nameless person, it's really my honor!" Li Feng looked up, feeling that the bad breath in his heart was being vented fiercely.

"Li Feng, what do you mean by coming here?"

Luo Feng responded while secretly putting down the long spear in his hand, turning to hold the bow and arrow.

He wasn't stupid. The appearance of this person here could already explain many things. Speaking was just to delay time, preparing to shoot him to death with one arrow.

"Hahaha!" Li Feng looked up to the sky and laughed: "Ask me what I mean? I'll tell you! Jiang Jinshi, you caught all these relatives with the Jun Governor, what can you do to me?"

Jiang Jinshi suddenly laughed, the laughter wasn't loud, but carried clear mockery.

He pressed his hands on the parapet, leaned forward, and shouted toward below: "Lord Liu, you spent so much effort, just to find such a bunch of goods?"

Colonel Li and Liu Xuecheng were far away, but both frowned when they heard this.

Since they arrived here, Liu Xuecheng had never taken the initiative to show his face in front of the battle, but the other party could know so clearly that these people were caught by Liu Xuecheng, which had to make them think more.

Jiang Jinshi was too lazy to pay attention to Li Feng, just a clown, and it was a matter of hand to clean him up.

Jiang Jinshi also knew that Liu Xuecheng had been running around trying to buy over the commoners these days. He had Wang Hou send many people to hide in the city to pretend to be commoners, and if there was news, they would send carrier pigeons to Panjiang City.

Even Tang Xiao Yu, who was far away in Guangwu City, sent news that Liu Xuecheng was the uncle of the former Jiangcheng Magistrate Liu, and the relationship between the two was very close.

Jiang Jinshi continued to shout, his voice loud, ensuring that both sides could hear clearly: "Jiang Fu, Jiang Gui! My father died early, when you instigated the whole family to occupy the compensation silver, why didn't you remember that I was your eldest uncle and second uncle?"

The faces of the two turned pale instantly, opening their mouths, but couldn't make a sound.

Jiang Jinshi pointed to the aunt again: "And you! When everyone lived together, you took my rice to give to the cousin, saying that I was still young and eating so much was useless, making me hungry. I still remember this clearly! Now you tell me you held me?"

Unexpectedly, there was still a turning point in this matter. A group of squad leaders listened to Jiang Jinshi counting the other party's faults, dumbfounded.

Even a suppressed laughter came from the crowd, and the originally tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.

Everyone looked at the so-called "family members" under the city, and their eyes were full of disdain.

Colonel Li's face was extremely ugly. He didn't expect that Jiang Jinshi's relationship with his relatives was so unbearable.

Then after this operation, wouldn't it have no influence on the other party at all, but instead ruined his own reputation?

Jiang Jinshi restrained his smile, his voice became cold and hard

"You... you are an ungrateful wretch! Your grandfather passed away and you didn't even go back to see him once!" Jiang Gui, both shocked and furious, blurted out.

"Ungrateful?" Jiang Jinshi sneered. "Who has ever shown me grace? Besides, didn't Grandfather pass away because of the two of you? You could have saved him, but because of your selfishness, you chose to save yourselves. You killed your own father with your own hands!"

In truth, Jiang Jinshi did not want to engage in this kind of war of words here, but he had to do it so that the brothers below would know the full story and avoid any hard feelings among them.

Jiang Jinshi suddenly raised his voice, "Standing here today, I am worthy of the commoners in the city who trust me, follow me, and allow me to provide them with a meal! I am worthy of these brothers by my side who have braved life and death with me! I am not worthy of you heartless, ungrateful bastards!"

His words were resonant and powerful. The crowd on the city wall was stirred, and they shouted one after another, "Big Brother is right!"

"Which family doesn't have a few foolish relatives? This is exactly how you have to deal with these people!"

"I told you so! Big Brother would definitely have brought the people he cares about into the city; how could he let this corrupt official have a chance to exploit them!"

Liu Xuecheng's chest heaved. He realized that this move had been a mistake, and a disastrous one at that.

Not only had it ruined his own reputation, but it had also bolstered the enemy's morale.

"Jiang Jinshi! Do you truly have no regard for human morality?" Liu Xuecheng stood up and walked closer, attempting one last effort.

Jiang Jinshi laughed loudly, "I have no affection for them, but rather quite a bit of enmity. If you want to kill them, then kill them—it would actually make me happy!"

After saying this, Jiang Jinshi turned and walked away, saying to Luo Feng, "Keep a close watch on the city gates. They have no more tricks left; they will likely launch a full-scale assault!"

"Understood!"

After Luo Feng acknowledged this, he asked, "That Li Feng is within my range; should I shoot him?"

"Him? No need. County Magistrate Liu won't let him have an easy time!"

Liu Xuecheng's expression turned ugly to the extreme. Now, how to deal with this group had become a difficult problem.

Kill them? It was meaningless and would only invite ridicule.

Let them go? That would be an even greater slap to his own face.

The anger in his heart grew, but Liu Xuecheng had nowhere to vent it. Just then, he happened to see Li Feng standing before the lines, looking at a loss.

"Someone! Drag this lowly commoner away!"
