Chapter 163 – Seizure
At this time, Yu Zelin was not anxious at all, he had finally seen clearly, whether it was Shi Jiutong, or Yang Tiangang who had been chosen as the Village Head, the greatest beneficiary was still the Xiong Family, and when Song Wei came this time, regardless of whether he did it on purpose or not, as long as he denied the ownership of the Xiong Family’s Spirit Source, then the one who was worried would definitely be the Xiong Family.
As expected, Xiong Family was the first to impatiently push out the candidates that he had supported, his intentions were self-evident, but at this time, Yu Ze Lin looked at Yang Tiangang who was just about to join Xiong Family, but was now being rejected by the Xiong Family without hesitation. What kind of feeling was this feeling of being betrayed by others?
Thinking about it, Yu Zelin looked at Song Wei who was calm and collected, and suddenly wanted to speak: “I see that Yang Cunzheng is rather calm, and furthermore, the Tuqiu Village is under his control, so I believe that everyone must have heard of him in the past two years, right? As for this Village Head Shi, hehe, before today, how many people knew him, do you know him, Brother Ning? ”
Yu Zelin’s last sentence was to ask Ning Changchun, who had been watching from the start, if he could get the Ning Family to stay out of this mess.
“I don’t know!” Ning Changchun’s reply was extremely sincere, but Shi Jiutong, who was at the side, was so embarrassed that his ears were flushed red, wishing that he could find a hole to hide in.
“Eh — —” Song Wei’s tone of voice carried a hint of mischievousness, but his expression was still very serious as he said: “Brother Yu, your words are a bit wrong. The county magistrate wants the Xishan Village as his official and wants justice.
These words sounded as if he was pitying Shi Jiutong, but to others, they would always have a feeling of belittling him.
“Village Head Shi has been a Village Head for many years, but his qualifications is much higher. At the same time, he is also a guard in charge of the village, so he is even more qualified than Yang Cunzheng. In my opinion, my Third Master’s previous suggestion is not bad, and for Yang Cunzheng to be any vice Village Head, acting as his assistant, is also good.”
Ning Zelin said, “He still needs to be in charge of the position of vice protector, and even has the position of Village Head to keep his hands on. No wonder this Vice Commander Shi did not have a good political record, he obviously did not have the ability to do what he wanted, and since that’s the case, I think he should just concentrate on being in charge of the position of vice protector. It’s better to let go of the matters in the village.”
Song Wei coughed to stop the argument between the two sides, and said loudly: “The original Earth Stone and Earth Qiu villagers, now have Yang Tiangang and Shi Jiutong as the candidates to become the Xishan Village, do you have any objections?”
At this time, more than a thousand villagers had gathered outside of Tuqiu Village and upon hearing Song Wei’s words, one of them shouted loudly, “Since we want him to join the village, then we will make Yang Cunzheng our Village Head. We naturally have no objections.”
“Right, right, we want Yang Cunzheng!”
“As a Village Head, Yang Cunzheng, I am sincerely convinced!”
The villagers of Tuqiu Village shouted one after another, all requesting for Yang Tiangang to continue being the Xishan Village.
On the other hand, the several hundred villagers were collectively silent. Compared to the Tuqiu Village, the hope of their village was the strongest, and yet, did they still choose Shi Jiutong to be their Village Head afterwards? In their hearts, if Shi Jiutong was really a suitable candidate to be the Village Head, then the Earth Stone Village would not be so anxious to go along with Tuqiu Village.
Why was the Earth Stone Village so anxious to go to the village? Because he coveted the wealth of Tuqiu Village!
And why was the Tuqiu Village so rich? Even the people from the Earth Stone Village knew of Yang Tiangang’s achievements!
At this time, not to mention Shi Jiutong, even Xiong Qinzhong felt embarrassed. He secretly cursed in his heart, why is Shi Jiutong so unpopular?
“We choose Village Head Shi, you must be the Village Head Shi to become our Village Head!”
“That’s right, Stone Village Head, Stone Village Head!”
There were finally people from the Earth Stone Village who began to shout out Shi Jiutong’s name. Even though the voices were sparse and the number of people was clearly only a fraction, there were still people who began to support him.
“Yi, are you people from the Earth Stone Village? “My family has relatives that go around the village often. Even if they don’t know each other, they look familiar. How come I haven’t seen any of you?”
There was only one Qinshui between the two villages, and although there were many fights over land and water between the two villages, there were also married friends and family, old friends and close relatives, and they were extremely close to each other, so naturally they were very familiar with each other. Although it was difficult for thousands of people in each village to recognize them all, but people in the same village would be able to tell about eighty to ninety percent of the time.
“These people are definitely not from the village. Look at their clothes and expressions, they look nothing like the people from the village!”
“Haha, although the people from Stone Village do not support Shi Jiutong, there is a group of outsiders who are speaking up for him, this is truly strange!”
The entire Tuqiu Village was clamoring, all kinds of sounds of ridicule could be heard, but the other group of people who supported Shi Jiutong were also valiant, and upon hearing this they immediately became angry: “We are the people of Stone Village, we are the people who support Village Head Shi, which one of your eyes saw that we are not from Stone Village, who said that, are you going to stand up?”
What are you doing? Do you want to fight? In my opinion, you must be angry out of embarrassment. Since when have the people of Tuqiu Village been afraid of your Earth Village?
The villagers of the two villages were immediately angered, they rushed forward one after another, and just as the fight was about to break out, they saw Song Wei giving a signal to the nine Dream Yoga Guards behind him, and the nine of them stepped forward simultaneously, with a “dong” sound, likuge drum striking everyone’s heart. The villagers of the two villages were getting closer, and the dozens of villagers who were closest to each other suddenly fell onto the ground, all of them sweating like pulp, as though they were extremely frightened.
Song Wei looked at the nearby Shi Jiutong whose face he did not know, and said: “Village Head Shi, what’s going on with these people in your village, could it be that they are not your villagers?”
Hearing Song Wei’s sudden question, Shi Jiutong’s body trembled, but he quickly adjusted himself and said: “They are indeed my villagers, and all of them have proof of their families, just that they are a villager …”
“But what?” Song Wei asked.
Shi Jiutong glanced at Xiong Man Shan, and then lowered his head: “It’s just that these people were originally refugees who had lost the cultivation of Ling Tian, and I found them pitiful, so I kept them in the village. They remembered my kindness, and that’s why they were so presumptuous, and I hope Mr. Song can forgive me.”
Naturally, Shi Jiutong’s gaze could not hide from the eyes of the people present. The so-called “refugees” were merely the tenants of Xiong Family, they had come to to assist him in suppressing the village. After all, in terms of overall strength, the Tuqiu Village had always been suppressing the village.
“In that case, we have two candidates for Village Head, but what should we do next, do you have any suggestions?”
Just as Song Wei’s words came out, Xiong Rui said: “To fight to gain honor, naturally, is to respect the strong!”
“Fighting for the Commander, fighting for the Commander!”
Hearing this, the small group of people from the Earth Stone Village immediately shouted loudly.
In this world, even if one had to speak of righteousness, reason, and ability, in the end, they were still people who respected the strong. How did the Tuqiu Village manage to suppress the Earth Stone Village all these years? Other than Yang Tiangang’s personal power, the most important reason was that Yang Tiangang’s cultivation was always above Shi Jiutong’s.
Otherwise, even if Yang Tiangang created more Ling Tian, and the Tuqiu Village produced even more spiritual valley s, Shi Jiutong only needed to encourage the people of the Earth Stone Village to fight over the lands once every three days, and once every five days, the situation in the two villages would immediately turn around.
Yang Tiangang’s ability, as well as his performance in the field of profound arts, was always built on the basis of his individual strength and the Tuqiu Village’s ability to target the advantages of the Stone Village. In the end, it was still the strong that gained the respect, and using battle techniques to settle disputes between individuals or groups, had also become a common method.
Aesult, when the small group of people from the Earth Stone Village started to fight, there were people from the Tuqiu Village village who did not want to be outdone. In the end, there were over a thousand people from the two villages who shouted out “Fight for the honor” in unison, giving off the feeling of a tsunami.
Song Wei laughed and said: “Alright, then we’ll fight to become marshal!”
“Since it’s a competition, if it’s just two Village Head s competing in a match, then there’s no meaning. I heard that each of the two villages had five Martial Realm Cultivator s before, but this can’t be any better, so we might as well just fighotal of five matches, and the final victor will be Xishan Village.”
Just as Song Wei was about to nod his head in agreement, he heard Yu Zelin say, “I’m afraid that won’t do!”
Without waiting for Song Wei to ask, Yu Zelin pointed at Xu Sanniang and said, “Sanniang is severely injured, so she cannot participate in the battle. Aesult, Tuqiu Village has one less expert of the second level of martial arts realm.
Xiong Jingzhong was startled, then said: “Where did Second Young Master Yu get his words from, this old man does not know about Xu Sanniang’s serious injuries, since that’s the case, let’s switch to four of the five matches.”
Now that the Stone Village had two cultivators at the second level of martial arts realm assisting it, even if they had to give up one of them, they would still give up their only cultivator at the first level of martial arts realm; but the younger Tuqiu Village, Xu Sanniang, had one less cultivator at the second level of martial arts realm. Thus, its strength would naturally be greatly reduced, and with this increase and decrease, not only did the strength of the Earth Stone Village not weaken, it had actually become even stronger.
Yu Zelin was startled, he could naturally see that aesult, the Tuqiu Village was at a disadvantage. Not only him, even Song Wei himself was frowning slightly, but the rules were like that, if they were going to fight, then it was not unfair to say that one side’s cultivation was lower than the other side. No one would use a low cultivation as an excuse, like when Yang Tiangang was at the third level of martial arts realm, Tu Shi Village had been suppressed for the past few years, but the entire Tu Shi Village had never said anything fair, and Shi Jiutong had never given up just because of his low cultivation.
