The next day, it was dawn.
Sheng Liang hummed a little tune and strolled over to the reservoir.
Zheng Yu quickly went to greet him, smiling and asking, "Brother Liang, what brings you here?"
Sheng Liang pointed at the people in the water and asked, "You can't even beat these few bastards? You need my help!"
Zheng Yu pointed at Feng Yuanbai and said, cursing, "As the saying goes, 'bad people come from poor and remote places.' As you know, Liang Ye, all the young people in our village work in Hanshan City. Only the elderly are left in the village, and these bastards take advantage of this to raid our village. If we were in the village, they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage."
Sheng Liang nodded, unbuckled his belt, and urinated into the reservoir.
Feng Yuanbai and the others soaked in the reservoir all night, their faces turning pale from the cold. The reservoir was very large, and Sheng Liang couldn't urinate on them, but Feng Yuanbai and the others were furious. This was a blatant insult!
After urinating, Sheng Liang pointed at Feng Yuanbai and the others, cursing, "Listen up! My name is Sheng Liang. If you haven't heard of me, you can ask around in Hanshan. Zheng Yu is my brother. If you dare to cause trouble in Jinfeng Village again, don't blame me for being impolite."
After Sheng Liang finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Yu and said, "Zheng Yu, let them go. The brothers should go back too. If my older brother finds out, we'll all be in trouble."
Zheng Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Liang, I sincerely thank you for your help today. You and the brothers go ahead first, we'll be there shortly. When we get to Hanshan, I'll definitely treat you all to a meal."
Sheng Liang nodded, waved his hand, and led the three hundred labor camp trainees away.
Feng Yuanbai smiled slightly. At first, he thought these were government officials sent by the Hanshan government, but now he realized that wasn't the case at all. "Zheng Yu, you bastard, you're just a bully! You can't just stay in the village all the time. Wait until you go back to Hanshan, and I'll teach you a lesson!"
Zheng Yu looked at Feng Yuanbai and said, "This reservoir was dug by our Jinfeng Village with manpower and effort. You have no chance to use it! Brother Feng, we've seen each other all the time, we're neighbors. Consider this a lesson from Jinfeng Village. Now you can leave!"
"Hmph!" Feng Yuanbai snorted coldly, led his men, swam to the shore, and climbed ashore.
"Xiaoyu, we can't let them get away with this!" a villager from Jinfeng shouted.
Zheng Yu said with a smile, "Forget it, let them go. We should go back to work in the city too."
The two groups returned to their respective villages. Feng Yuanbai glanced back at Zheng Yu and the others, saying, "We'll see."
Zheng Yu returned to his temporary post and, together with Sheng Liang, sought an audience with Wang Wenzhou.
At this time, Wang Wenzhou was still sleeping naked in the sedan chair.
Wang Wenzhou saw that it was still early and that he could sleep a little longer after finishing his business, so he didn't get up and let Zheng Yu and Sheng Liang talk outside the sedan chair.
Wang Wenzhou asked, "How was the performance?"
Sheng Liang replied with a smile, "Don't worry, brother, I definitely didn't give myself away."
Wang Wenzhou hugged and kissed Empress Zhou, then said with a smile, "Xiao Liang, tell Li Hechen to take some men and continue to monitor Yinfeng Village. If they cause trouble in Jinfeng Village, don't stop them."
"Yes!" Sheng Liang nodded.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "If I'm not mistaken, they will definitely cause trouble in Jinfeng Village today. When they find that there's no one in Jinfeng Village, they will probably become suspicious and might not dare to cause trouble. If that happens, it won't be good. Here's what we'll do: if they don't cause any damage, after they leave, Xiao Liang, you take some people into the village to loot and vandalize. After you've finished looting, set the village on fire."
"Huh..." Everyone was dumbfounded. Burning down their own house? Isn't that crazy?
Zheng Yu quickly asked, "Principal, why did you do this?"
After all, it was his home, the place where he grew up. Zheng Yu had a deep affection for his village. It was somewhat understandable that it had been burned down by outsiders, and he could seek revenge. But for his own people to burn it down was truly unacceptable. That's why he mustered the courage to ask Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, you can't catch a pervert if you're reluctant to part with pretty girls! Don't worry, I already said I'd compensate you for the losses caused to the village. Don't worry, how could I let the people of Hanshan suffer?"
Zheng Yu quickly said, "The principal is right, the student was wrong!"
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and continued, "Xiao Liang, tell your sister-in-law Liu Rushi to send a few reporters over. Let them see how Jinfeng Village has been reduced to ruins after being forcibly occupied by the invaders! Report this story well and encourage the people of Hanshan to bravely resist the invasion. We, the people of Hanshan, will never allow others to bully us, the people of Hanshan!"
"Yes!" Sheng Liang nodded.
"Alright! You guys go ahead and get on with your business, I'm going to sleep a little longer!" Wang Wenzhou said, then crawled into bed to prepare for his morning exercises.
Empress Zhou's expression changed. What resistance to invasion? That scoundrel Wang Wenzhou just wants to turn Hanshan into a state within a state of the Ming Dynasty!
……
After returning to the village, Feng Yuanbai told his father, Feng Xinhui, everything that had happened the night before.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xinhui said helplessly, "Since things have come to this, let's just let it go."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuanbai immediately flew into a rage. He said angrily, "Father! How can we just let this go? Zheng Yu and the others should be back in Hanshan City by now. Jinfeng Village only has some elderly and weak people left. They can run away, but they can't hide. How can we just tolerate this?"
Feng Xinhui advised, "Zheng Yu has brought in the constables from Hanshan County. Since ancient times, the common people have never fought against the officials! If this fight continues, we will be the ones who suffer!"
Feng Yuanbai curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Father! What are you afraid of? Magistrate Niu of Dangtu County is Xiang'er's uncle. If you can't bring yourself to ask him, I'll ask Magistrate Niu. Anyway, he's my brother-in-law, so he can't refuse to help me with this."
"Sigh..." Feng Xinhui sighed. His son had grown up, become sensible, and could stand on his own, but he was also increasingly disobedient to his father. He asked, "What do you want to do?"
Feng Yuanbai thought for a moment and replied, "I'll lead my men into Jinfeng Village, arrest that old bastard Zheng Bin, and force him to sign a contract admitting that the river belongs to our village and the reservoir belongs to us. Once the contract is signed, even if Zheng Yu reports it to the authorities, it won't matter. Besides, once the contract is signed, that land belongs to Dangtu County, and it's not up to the Hanshan government to manage."
Feng Xinhui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we'll do it your way. We must be careful and not let anyone die. Although our two villages have been fighting for hundreds of years, we are still neighbors who see each other all the time."
Feng Yuanbai nodded and said with a smile, "Father, don't worry."
That noon, Yinfeng Village held a grand banquet to entertain friends from neighboring villages who had come to help with the martial arts competition.
Feng Yuanbai wasn't stupid. If Zheng Yu could call for help, so could he! Besides, with more people involved, if something went wrong, even the authorities would have a hard time handling it. Even if he didn't win this time, because there were many people involved and the matter escalated, he wouldn't lose too badly. At most, it would just be like before, with endless entanglements.
