Chapter 137: Get Out
Isn't it a shame to be caught doing bad things on the spot? Old lady Kong's face was purple and red, and he didn't say a word, and his wife shouted to the village chief and the villagers with a strong momentum, "This dead girl killed so many people in our family, but it was just a matter of burning down a house for her, and it was still cheaper for her!"
The village chief and the villagers looked at the eyes of the two elders, with caution and fear, and the hut groaned in the blazing firelight, probably drenched with some flammable substance, and the smell in the air was very unpleasant.
"Hahaha!" Seeing that the villagers retreated and didn't dare to go forward to put out the fire because of the high temperature several times, Mrs. Kong laughed wildly, "I used the black oil and flint sent by Old Man Tang, if you want to be the funeral of the Tang family, go there! Hahaha, hahaha!"
Mrs. Kong's gray hair was scattered in a bun, flying in the night firelight, her eyes were red and her face was hideous, like a madman, no, no, she was a madman!
But think about the pain that she sent away all her sons and grandchildren one after another during the day today, and the pain of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people, how can she not be crazy, how can she not be crazy?
But can Tang Zhijing be blamed? Can it be? Who killed her only relative? Who forced her to marry into the Kong family? Who gathered the strength of the whole clan to persecute a child and a weak woman? Can you blame her for fighting back?
Don't tell them, Boss Kong and so many of them went up the mountain together, they were really looking for Tang Zhijing and worried about her safety.
What's more, there are also her cousin and cousin, whose whereabouts are still unknown, now it's okay! Mrs. Kong and her husband also burned down the three members of the Liu family who were temporarily living in the Tang family's courtyard, along with the Tang family's courtyard!
The lives of the people buried in the hands of their Confucian family are not lives? Only the lives of their Confucian family members are the most precious?
The village chief and the villagers had mixed feelings in their hearts, watching Mrs. Kong go crazy, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law who were holding her let go of their hands, and let her rush to the door of the Tang family's courtyard, spit several mouthfuls of saliva inside, and there was a cracking sound in the fire, and then everyone saw Mrs. Kong bending down and kneeling in pain.
Suddenly, there were several strange noises in succession, and everyone saw several arrow clusters piercing around Mrs. Kong's body, and the black and shiny arrow clusters glowed blue in the firelight, and this arrow contained severe poison.
Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the small courtyard of the Tang family in the firelight made them feel a great sense of fear.
"This can't be a mechanism set up by Old Lady Tang, right?"
Also, if you can make a flint and steel that can ignite a high-temperature fire, Old Lady Tang should not be an ordinary person! By the way, black oil, the village chief said in his heart, how did I not know that Old Lady Tang had sent black oil to the Kong family? The relationship between these two families is just ordinary, how can Old Lady Tang give a gift, how can he give such a thing?
Others think a lot!
Mother-in-law and mother thought that Boss Kong's wife Lao Ai took the girls of the Kong family to the Tang family, and they did not have a good relationship with Tang Zhijing, but every time Mrs. Kong took the girls of the Kong family out of the Tang family, either with fashionable fabrics or jewelry, once Mrs. Kong's daughter went home directly wearing Tang Zhijing's newly made clothes that had not yet been put on.
When Mrs. Tang died, Tang Zhijing's female red only learned fur, after she passed away, Tang Zhijing had to shoulder the burden of supporting her family, and also raised her younger brother, so the dress was given to her by the village chief's wife, as a birthday gift for her and Lu, when the village chief's wife did it, the mothers-in-law and mothers in the village participated in the opinion, and they all had a few stitches!
Therefore, when Mrs. Kong's daughter swaggered through the market in that dress, everyone recognized it.
Thinking of the temperament of Mrs. Kong's mother and daughter, and then looking at the Tang family's courtyard in the flames, everyone couldn't help but wonder, did the Kong family empty those things in the Tang family's courtyard before setting the fire?
In Kong Ji's house, Mrs. Kong pointed to the boxes containing stones on the ground with a dark face and asked, "Kong Ji, you honestly recruited me, where are the things here?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Kong Ji impatiently knocked off Mrs. Kong's fingers that were almost pointing to his nose.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say that the Tang family's rooms are full of good things, how can they be all stones?" Kong Ji's wife had long been unhappy with Mrs. Kong's domineering appearance, and now she still pointed at her husband and scolded her like a grandson, when there was no one in their family?
Mrs. Kong married into the Kong family, because Boss Kong's force value is the highest in the whole clan, and the clansmen never dare to speak loudly to her, and they have always curry favor with her, who dares to speak loudly to her.
Seeing that Kong Ji's wife was disrespectful to him, his anger immediately came up, and he greeted Kong Ji's wife in the face as soon as he raised his hand.
Kong Ji's wife didn't dodge or dodge to meet him head-on, but the slap in the face didn't sound for a long time, Mrs. Kong's right hand was pinched by Kong Ji's eldest son, and Kong Ji's wife took advantage of Mrs. Kong's reaction before she could react, and stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Kong.
Mrs. Kong only felt her head buzz, and her whole body was blindfolded!
But she couldn't read what she was saying, she couldn't hear what she was saying, the beeping made her react more slowly, and the pain in her hand didn't ease her.
She tried to break free of the restrained hand several times, but unfortunately she couldn't break free at all, and only felt that the hand was getting more and more painful.
Seeing this, the daughter-in-law and daughter who came with Mrs. Kong felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and only then did Kong Ji's eldest son break Mrs. Kong's hand away.
"You show me to be honest! Do you think it's still the same as before? Tell you, there are only old and weak women and children left in your family, and there is no man who can carry the family! You dare to show off your might in front of my father and mother? Hmph! I want to be beautiful!"
Before he finished speaking, he was torn apart by Kong Ji, "Sister-in-law, you want us to be thieves, for the sake of your loss of loved ones today, don't say a word, help." But not only are you not grateful, but you also ask us where the things here are, and I will ask you, do you know what is on the table here, sister-in-law?"
Otherwise, how would you know that the box wasn't originally filled with stones?
Kong Ji didn't ask what he said, but everyone present knew what he meant.
Mrs. Kong was speechless, what could she say?
"From the time you asked us for help to the time we moved things back, you have been with us all this time, even if we want to do it, do we have the time to prepare stones to rebag the contents of the things? You have also seen that these boxes are all locked! The boxes we moved back are all intact and undamaged. ”
"That's it, I just opened the box, and our boss smashed it open with an axe!" Kong Ji's wife said angrily.
Mrs. Kong covered her beaten face with her hands, she still couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could guess from their appearance that they were questioning themselves about something, what else was most urgent at the moment, of course, where was the treasure in the box!
"You don't have to quibble! You must have done it, otherwise these boxes have been kept in the Tang family's house, and no one has touched them, how could the treasures in them disappear!
Why can't this woman understand people's words? She didn't listen to what she said, she told her that they had been under her nose all day today, how could they make ghosts? Even if they wanted to make ghosts, they couldn't get so many big rocks in a short time!
Konji's brother leaned over and bit his ear, and when he muttered a few words, Khonji nodded at him, and the man led his brothers up to examine the stones in the boxes one by one.
Mrs. Kong had asked her daughters-in-law to sit down on the chairs in the corner, and when they had all examined them, everyone's faces were all green! Those stones were the most ordinary stones that could be found everywhere outside the village, and they were not at all the stones that contained some kind of jade as Kong Ji's brother had guessed.
There are also some large clods of earth when the houses were demolished in the village, because they are gray and simple, and they can't be seen in their original shape until they are checked now.
To be honest, it's really like an emergency to find it casually and throw it in to make up the number, well, to say that Kong Ji didn't fake, it seems that they don't even believe in themselves!
"Lao Tzu said, since this mother-in-law found us, she has been following us inch by inch, our house is so big, if we really transfer the things in the box, then where do we hide the things?
Kong Ji's family is flanked by his own brothers, and when he said this, everyone nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, there is really no place for him to do anything, besides, this lock is all smashed now, and it can't be faked!"
An old man came up and touched those boxes, "They can't fake these boxes, look, they don't use nails, they are all mortise and tenon, and they haven't learned carpentry, how can this be!"
The old man paused, and said to Mrs. Kong very disapprovingly, "Besides, the time you give them is so short, they have to have this ability, in such a short time, without hurting the lock or the box, they will not have to huddle in this mountain village!"
Before the old man's words fell, Kong Ji immediately said loudly, "What Uncle Nineteen said is true!"
"Sister-in-law, I think, you must have been deceived by that girl of the Tang family, right? Since she doesn't want to marry her eldest nephew, how can she show you the treasures that her family treasures?"
Everyone loves money, but Mrs. Kong loves money to an outrageous extent, but whenever she sees something good in someone's house, even if she has it in her family, she still wants to ask someone to get it back.
Anyway, I can't see that other people's families have better than her, and the villagers of Xingyuan Village may not all eat her set, but the Kong family and the side branches are afraid of Boss Kong, and they almost respond to Mrs. Kong's needs, which has made the Kong clan more and more simple in dressing over the years, and they are afraid that their own clothes will be begged for by Mrs. Kong.
Mrs. Kong was still ringing in her ears, she could only compare gestures, everyone could only guess, and before they could guess a famous name, some villagers came to invite the Kong clan on the order of the village chief.
The villagers came in a hurry, and the Kong family couldn't react in time, so they rushed to the hall in one go, and they saw the boxes piled up in the house.
The villagers took a look and didn't feel anything different, after all, no one had seen the boxes treasured by the Tang family.
It's just that Kong Ji and the others looked a little strange, and they couldn't help mentioning it to the village chief when they went back.
Mrs. Kong knew that her in-laws were going to set fire to the house, so she asked Kong Ji for help and transported all the boxes hidden in the Tang family's house.
It can't be transported to your own home, lest the matter of your in-laws break out, and too many people will show your stuffing.
But what I didn't expect was that this box was full of rocks! Oh, and some of them were clods of earth.
If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Kong didn't expect it, it wouldn't have dragged on at Kong Ji's house for too long, so long that the people sent by the village chief to look for her couldn't find anyone at home, so they ran to Kong Ji's house to look for it.
You must know that Mrs. Kong's branch is his own family, but now the young and strong are all dead, and the remaining men are either less than ten years old, or they are still babbling and learning, except for Mrs. Kong, no one can be the master of the house!
Kong Ji is the most outstanding one in the branch of the Confucian family, he can go up the mountain to hunt, go to the field to farm, be literate and count, and have a decisive temperament and will also point martial arts, although he is not as strong as the big brother Kong, but in Xingyuan Village, it is enough!
The villagers came to invite Mrs. Kong because it was her in-laws who committed the crime, and they came to invite Kong Ji because the branch of the Kong family was quite reasonable with him, and his mind was clear, and he would not start as soon as he opened his mouth.
Kong Ji didn't realize what these boxes meant when he saw them in his house, and he took the people from the Kong family branch to see the village chief.
When he saw the old lady Kong and his wife who were tied up with five flowers, he yelled at the village chief angrily, "Village chief, what are you doing here? What can't you say well, you must embarrass my husband and wife? They have just lost their beloved son and grandchildren today!"
The village chief sneered, "If I could, I wouldn't want to treat the two old men like this, but if you don't tie them up, you know what they did tonight?"
"What?" Kong Ji really didn't know what these two old men could do.
"You guys all the way, didn't you feel anything wrong?"
Kong Ji was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the sky outside the house, "Where is the water coming from the house, isn't it?" The village chief is not talking about you! The village is flooded, and you don't take people to put out the fire quickly, but instead tie up my uncle and them, this is really ......."
"There is water in the village, but we can't save it, because the two of them sprinkled black oil in the small courtyard of the Tang family, and set fire to the flint and steel sent by the old man Tang, and the fire temperature sent by the old man Tang is high, and you all know about this. ”
Indeed, they all knew very well, after all, they had just cremated Boss Kong and their bodies and brought them back to the village, and the temperature was so high, they had all experienced it, but this black oil ......
"What is black oil?"
"Ask your good uncle and aunt!" the village chief was so angry that his beard trembled, "I don't want to think about it, what kind of good thing this black oil is, it is a good thing that can raze the whole village to the ground when it is burned! ”
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and the village chief threw the cup in his hand towards Mrs. Kong and his wife.
Kong Ji couldn't stop it, so he could only watch as Mrs. Kong and his wife were smashed on the forehead by a teacup, and the other was splashed with tea.
"Village chief, it's not that I want to speak for my uncle, those three people who came from other places and temporarily live in the Tang family's small courtyard are more suspected of setting fire than my uncle and his wife! My uncle is two years old, and his actions are not very convenient, if you want to say that the two of them set fires, I don't believe it at all, village chief, you should check those three people!"
"Those three people seem to have come out of the mountains with us, and they haven't seen anyone since they came out!"
"yes! The fire is so big today, I don't seem to see them come out?"
"Oh, you say, they're going to be burned inside!"
"Who knows. Villager A replied angrily, and then turned back and asked the village chief, "By the way, village chief, if that guy surnamed Liu really died in the Tang family's courtyard, then the car he left behind would be ownerless, can we divide it?"
"As long as we are sure that the person is dead and his family does not come to look for him, the car belongs to our village. ”
"Okay yes! If his family comes to him, they will say that they don't see that they have a car!" Villager A said, and many people next to him followed suit, so that they would make a windfall with their white hair!
With the permission of the village chief, everyone rushed to the head of the village, pretending to be Liu Er's carriage.
And the fake Liu Er and the others sat on the roof beam of the village chief's house, and after hearing all this, they couldn't help but shake their heads, the people in this whole village are not good people! guess that they may have died in the small courtyard of the Tang family, not to help them collect the corpses, or to notify their relatives, but to divide their carriage.
Tut-tut, Tang Zhijing's sister and brother can still live in Xingyuan Village until now after the elders died, it's really not easy!
