Chapter 2: I hit you to save you

Li Yun raised his eyebrows and discovered that the speaker was an old man, with a group of vagrants beside him glaring at him in anger, clearly resentful of his excessively harsh actions

At this point, he paused for a moment, suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the crowd, one by one, coldly snorting and saying: "You, you, you, and you, all of your heads are going to be moved! Good living people, in the blink of an eye, are about to die. If you ask me, this is truly pitiful!"

At this point, he paused for a moment, suddenly lowering his voice, and continued: "Do you know how these people died? Beheaded, all of them beheaded, a single blow to the neck, the head just moves out, and then the bodies are abandoned in the wilderness, left for wild dogs to consume"

Is it causing trouble?

He did not wait for the man to speak, and then said: "Do you know why these people died? Do you know what their identities are?"

Bang

Li Yun let out another cold snort

Li Yun slowly released his grip on the other person's hand after three sentences, yet he remained firmly seated on the other person. He began to recount history at a leisurely pace, saying: "In the past, during the late Han dynasty, there was a great drought, and refugees flocked to Luoyang. There were three thousand people causing unrest, but the court did not utter a word and had them all killed."

Isn't it that we don't speak

If it were not for the dandy, which official's yamen servant would dare to act this way

The other party's man kept screaming, and eventually his screams turned into howls. Someone nearby, unable to bear it, spoke up to advise: "Young man, stop hitting him. His hand has been crushed by you, and his arm is broken. How pitiful."

Ah, my hand is broken

Just like breaking a radish, with a crisp sound, it snaps in two, particularly crunchy

The impact was truly fierce

Li Yun chuckled lightly, then suddenly leaned down to look at the other person, smiling as he said: "Of course you didn't cause any trouble; your arm is broken, and your hand is injured. How can a disabled person cause trouble? Do you have the ability to create chaos? Now do you understand? I hit you to save you!"

He tightly gripped the opponent's neck with one hand, while with the other hand he picked up a brick again, without saying a word, he swung it down to smash.

The man who was struck let out a cry of agony, struggling to shake Li Yun off his body

It is broken

Puff

He finally released the other person, stood up slowly, and suddenly looked up at the sky, saying meaningfully: "Whenever a great disaster occurs, the court must be ruthless, targeting those who stand out. They will not care whether you are pitiable and suffering or starving. Disaster victims must present themselves as disaster victims; if they cause a commotion, then they are no longer disaster victims, but rioters..."

However, this is not the time to study boundless strength; first, he must deal with the creature beneath him.

This person struggles with great strength, akin to a mad bull. He is the leader of a small group of vagrants, who usually eat well and rest adequately. Coupled with his tall stature, he naturally possesses considerable brute strength

The most striking thing is that this fellow is clearly a youth, yet he sports a full beard. He is evidently a head constable, yet he wears a dazzling bright armor that, under the scorching sun, can almost dazzle the eyes of those who have spent money on it. With his left hand resting on his waist knife, he holds a cricket jar in his right hand, an incongruous sight, neither here nor there.

He sat dazed on the other person's body, blankly raised his right hand, and with a confused expression on his face, muttered: "Is this perhaps my golden finger for traversing?"

Do you resent me for interrupting your hand?

Puff

At this point, he paused again, his eyes fixed intently on the man, and then coldly laughed, saying: "Their identities are the same as yours; they are all refugees, all leaders, and they have also caused trouble with their followers..."

Yes, yes, yes

Is it still innate strength

Puff

Li Yun smiled faintly, but then immediately said: "However, throughout history, the first to be executed by the court among the refugees have always been people like you"

Although it is quite satisfying to beat someone in the street, the laws of the Tang Dynasty are not to be taken lightly. Especially considering that Li Yun is currently a refugee; one misstep could lead him to the yamen and into prison.

Aww... ...

Three consecutive strikes, each hitting the flesh

The cries of the other party this time were even louder, sounding distinctly inhuman.

Li Yun finally gave a cold smile and reached out to pat the rough face of the man.

Although he released the man, the man did not get up. It was evident that the man was frightened, trembling as he defended himself: "I... I didn't cause any trouble, I really didn't cause any trouble. Young... young sir, I truly did not cause any trouble, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Li Yun was also confused.

He spoke of historical precedents regarding how the court treated disaster victims, but unfortunately, most of the current refugees are lost and ignorant. Li Yun let out a cold laugh twice, leaned closer to the man beneath him, and said lightly: "Let’s not talk about the previous dynasty; let’s discuss the present. Do you know that at the beginning of this month, in Yongminfang in the west of the city, seven refugees died? A fortnight ago, in Anlefang in the city, another nine died. Six days ago, in Baoyi Fang in the south of the city, twenty-seven died in one go..."

Bang

What does it mean? Hmph

inexhaustible strength

Everyone was frightened by what he said and instinctively took a step back. The old man opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally dared to speak in a weak voice, cautiously asking: "Young... young man, what do you mean by that?"

Do you not know that I am hitting you to save you

During the Jin and Liang dynasties, there were twenty-seven instances of famine disasters, with tens of thousands of refugees fleeing from starvation to the imperial capital, begging for food. Anyone who caused even a slight disturbance would be executed

Do you want to die?

He did not answer the old man directly; instead, he bent down to look at the man he had knocked down, his eyes coldly fixed on the other party, and questioned: "You are the leader of this group of vagrants, do you know how many leaders of vagrants have died recently"

In a fight, what matters is being ruthless

... ...

He picked up the brick and continued to smash!

During the Sui Dynasty, the Jiangnan region experienced severe flooding, resulting in widespread disaster. The affected populace was displaced and fled to Jiangdu in search of food. Although they could be saved, they were prohibited from making noise; any violators would face death

Li Yunmo looked up silently and murmured: "If an arm is broken, it can be reattached; if a palm is cracked, it can be treated. As long as one is alive, there will always be a good future... With this drought and the war, I estimate that the court will surely have a policy in place, perhaps even providing land for the displaced. From now on, you can follow me, and I guarantee you will have a good life ahead."

So, how can we silence the victim

Resolving this matter is quite simple; it can be accomplished by silencing the victim and ensuring they do not file a complaint

There are many methods, but Li Yun chose the most ruthless one

At that moment, footsteps were suddenly heard from a distance, and a voice shouted harshly, "Who the hell is causing trouble? Who dares to act recklessly in my territory? Do they really want to die?"

I just pressed his arm, and it broke

Li Yun was caught off guard and almost knocked to the ground by this fellow. However, at that moment, Li Yun suddenly felt a surge of heat in his abdomen, and an inexplicable strength surged forth from his body. Instinctively, he pressed his hand against the opponent's arm, and with a muffled crack, the opponent's arm was unexpectedly broken.

Li Yun turned his head and saw a group of officials approaching with an imposing demeanor

I know

Bang

The man, submissive and compliant, added to his intense pain, sighed deeply upon hearing the words and said gloomily: "I truly did not intend to lead a disturbance; I only wish for my fellow townsmen to have enough to eat"

It was abruptly cut off

The leading youth, with a robust physique and an impressive appearance, exuded a spirited demeanor. However, it was a pity that his face was marked by displeasure, as if the whole world owed him two coins.

The other party was panting heavily, pressed to the ground by him, remaining silent

Li Yun knocked the person down with a brick, and did not stop there; he took the opportunity to pounce forward and directly mounted on top of the opponent.

Since you wish to die, there is no need to wait for the court to execute you. Allow me to assist you; let us send you to your next life now

While smashing, also cursing

The man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he helplessly lowered his head.

He reached out to help the man up from the ground, his face full of warmth, and said: "I broke your hand, but I saved your life. The authorities will not pay attention to a disabled person, for a disabled person cannot cause significant trouble"

Such a master, such a guise

However, Li Yun merely smiled coldly, as if he had not noticed the anger of these individuals. He continued to sit atop the man, speaking slowly: "An arm can be reattached if broken, a shattered hand is merely a disability, but if the head is relocated, that is true death. Do you all understand? Your heads are about to be relocated..."

The man nodded repeatedly, enduring the pain as he looked at his severed arm, and suddenly burst into tears, saying: "But my hand is broken, what will I do in the future? My child is still young, and my wife is also ill..."

So, they all died
