When Qin Hanzhen heard the news that the He family, who went to the temple to worship Qin Ping and the Guan couple today, had encountered a horse thief, it was already afternoon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The He family and his entourage have not returned for a long time, and the Qin family feels that something is wrong. Because the leader is Uncle Hu, Mama Tiger has been restless and restless since lunchtime. Niu Shi understood the worries in her heart, and specially allowed her to wait on the roadside at the entrance of the village, and asked Zhang's mother to send a message to Brother Zhang Hun, asking Brother Zhang Hun to accompany Mama Hu and bring a hand stove so as not to catch a cold.

Mama Tiger waited for more than an hour before she welcomed back Uncle Hu and his party.

Old Mr. Qin has also been worried, he didn't even sleep in the afternoon, and has been sitting in the lower courtyard school waiting for news. Hearing that Uncle Hu and the others were back, he hurriedly walked out of the gate.

Qin Hanzhen urged Zhang's mother to take him to the main house, and was just in time for Mama Hu to reply to Niu's family, telling about Uncle Hu and others meeting the "horse thief".

Knowing that the leader of the "horse thief" was He Ziyu, Niu couldn't help but scold: "I knew that their brothers and sisters were unwilling to settle down. I didn't expect her to be coaxing me, but she colluded with her brother inside and out, intending to escape. I really can't ask for such a daughter-in-law! I sent someone to kill people and kill people, and I pretended to be a horse thief to hijack her, and she should have used a knife to kill me when she caught up with Ming'er! Our Qin family is also a family that has been studying for generations, and it is really godless to marry such a thief daughter-in-law!"

Qin Hanzhen knew when he heard that his guess might have come true. She hurriedly asked, "Where is the second aunt?" Did she escape?"

Niu Shi said angrily: "Who is she your second aunt? Such a woman is not even worthy to be a concubine for my son!"

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips, only thinking that Niu was venting his anger, and continued to ask Mama Hu about the point.

Mama Hu said: "My old man said that there were many people at that time, and it was very chaotic, and he only knew the second grandmother...... No, I only know that the carriage in which He and Qin Taisheng's family were sitting startled the horses, and crashed into the direction of the group of horse thieves, knocking over many people, and then stopped when they hit a tree. The carriage almost fell apart, and the horses died. The Wu family's nursing home brought the people from our family to arrest those horse thieves, and the two sides started fighting. It's just that because there are many people on the other side, and there are horses that are frightened and scurrying around, the old man is afraid that our own people will be injured, so let them be careful, even if they catch a few less, they can't fight with those people. This mess is a mess, and I don't care about anything else. By the time they tied up a few seriously injured horse thieves, the others who were not injured had already run away, and He Ziyu and the He brothers and sisters were gone, even Qin Taisheng's family was gone. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "So, second aunt...... No, did she actually manage to escape?"

Mama Tiger was also a little angry about this: "Probably escaped, right?" But there were a lot of blood stains in the carriage, and the old man also heard the screams of her and Qin Taisheng's family, and he was afraid that they were all wounded by arrows. And that He Ziyu, our old man saw with our own eyes that he was knocked off the horse by his sister-in-law's carriage, and fell on his leg, and the injury was not light. It was good luck for him to bring with him a great number of men and many horses, so he rescued them. However, He Ziyu dared to collude with horse thieves, which is not a small crime. If you really want to ask the officers and soldiers to be arrested, they may want to cut off their heads. ”

Qin Hanzhen was very suspicious: "Is it really a horse thief? In fact, He Ziyu found someone to disguise him, right? His purpose is just to save his sister, if he brings enough people, it is not difficult to snatch people away, is it necessary to pretend to be a horse thief? Unless they planned to kill everyone from the beginning, then they would not be afraid that someone would leak the news, at most they would think that they were unlucky to meet a real horse thief, and they would not think that He Ziyu was involved. But after the He family escaped, she still has to live in Datong, right? Let people know that she was taken away by horse thieves, and everyone who traveled with her was killed, can her reputation not be affected?"

Both Niu and Mama Hu looked at Qin Hanzhen in surprise. Qin Hanzhen blinked, and suddenly felt a little flustered, was she acting too exaggerated? It seems that these words just now are not something that a seven-year-old girl can say.

However, Niu didn't seem to suspect it, but said happily to Mama Hu: "This child is getting more and more smart, it seems that the injury on her head is really healed." I used to worry that she would become a fool, but now I don't have to. ”

Mama Hu smiled and said: "The old lady is a smart person, Sister Sang is the granddaughter of your in-laws, so naturally she is with you, how can she be stupid? She has been the most clever since she was a child, but she was naughty when she was a child and didn't like to read and write. But in terms of memory, it is a hundred times better than that of the children in the village. No matter what the master taught her, she would learn it as soon as she could. ”

Niu said proudly: "Memory comes second, and the most important thing is that she understands it in her heart." Since she was a child, no one in her family, or the children in the village, could deceive her. The words of the adults coaxed her, she heard it as soon as she heard it, and she refused to be fooled, but it was sad. She didn't say it, I really thought He Ziyu colluded with the horse thief to save the girl. As soon as Sister Sang said it, I understood. Where is the horse thief? Then He Ziyu likes to envelop some hooligans and ruffians on weekdays, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but not doing good deeds. I'm afraid that this time, he also called those people, pretending to be horse thieves to scare people, so as to take his sister away. If it's really a horse thief, then it's all murderous without blinking, so that all of our people can come back without being hurt?"

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked Mama Hu, "Are everyone not injured?" Except for the master and servant of the He family, whose whereabouts are unknown.

Mama Tiger nodded with a smile and said, "It's just a big start, but it's not a big deal." The sister-in-law of the Hua family has been hiding in the carriage, and when she got off the bus at the entrance of the village, she knocked on the door of her head and turned blue. Again, it was the third child of the Lin family, who twisted his foot when he was dodging the arrows. But what are these small injuries? Who in the village doesn't have a bump on weekdays? The old man ordered that a reward was given to each of them, and the sister-in-law of the Hua family and the third elder of the Lin family doubled the thickness. They were all as happy as something. ”

In this way, Qin Hanzhen didn't understand: "It's strange, He Ziyu brought a group of fake horse thieves to save his sister, and he also shot arrows, but all of our people were fine, but He and Qin Taisheng's family who were sitting in the carriage were injured by arrows, and He Ziyu and the people he brought were also injured, and the injuries were not light, and they were even caught by a few of our people? Isn't he stealing chickens and rice? He is so vicious, saying that if you harm people's lives, you will harm people's lives, but her brother is surprisingly soft-hearted. ”

In this way, Niu and Mama Hu also felt that it was wrong. However, Niu is a broad-hearted person, and said with a smile: "Good people get good rewards, and bad people end up like this." I wanted to do something bad, but I ended up hurting myself, I really deserved it!"

However, Mama Hu has her own guess: "Our old man said that the several nurses sent by the uncle of the Wu family are very powerful, and when he was a dart master in the past, he dealt with the bandits who robbed the road, and he was very experienced." Where are the opponents of the fake horse thieves? The arrows shot by the fake horse thieves caused the old dart master to block them with a few slashes, but none of them hit our people, and they all acted according to his instructions to dodge the arrows and catch people. Presumably, our people are fine this time, thanks to the efforts of these dart masters. ”

Since these dart masters are very powerful, how did the He family's carriage startle the horses? Why did their master and servant get hit by arrows? They were sitting in the carriage, and as a result, the people who faced the sharp arrows outside the carriage were all fine, but they were injured......

Qin Hanzhen really wanted to ask again, but the attention of Niu and Mama Hu had already turned away, and Niu asked Mama Hu: "These heroes are so skilled, our people can be safe and sound today, all thanks to them." It's past noon, and I don't know if they've eaten. Tell the kitchen to kill a few more chickens, go to the village to buy half a fan of mutton, and treat a table of good wine and food to greet a few heroes. ”

Mama Tiger said: "Several heroes didn't follow the old man and they came back." When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they called a few strong men to help, and escorted the bundled horse thieves to the county seat. After speaking, she smiled, "I heard that Yulin Weizheng is offering a heavy reward for the heads of horse thieves, and they tied up these horse thieves who didn't know whether they were true or false to the county office, probably to receive the reward." Now He Ziyu is really going to be convicted of colluding with horse thieves, even if he escapes back to Datong, it will not end well. ”

Niu knew why Yu Linwei offered a reward for horse thieves, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Although most of the people who know He Ziyu are pretending, what is wrong with pretending, they have to pretend to be horse thieves? He Ziyu is not unaware. Since they have taken the name of this thief, they deserve to die for this!"

Sister Sang's father, Qin Ping, served as the chief banner under Yulinwei, and stationed at a sentry post with a team of soldiers. In May, it was because of the horse thieves' raid on the outpost that Qin Ping was martyred. Those horse thieves burned the outpost to ruins, and the soldiers of the entire outpost, including Qin Ping, were all charred corpses. This incident shocked the entire Northwest Frontier Pass.

There has been no major war for 30 years, the border is flat, and there have been only occasional skirmishes. There are more and more caravans coming and going to the border city area nowadays. Although they occasionally encountered horse thieves, the horse thieves were all in search of money and food, and there were not even many captives, let alone killing the entire caravan, for fear that the merchants would be scared away, and no one would dare to come to the border city to transport goods, so what else could they rob? Yu Linwei put a heavy reward on this, as long as the horse thieves were active in the border city, whether it was related to the outpost tragedy or not, they would not let go.

Seeing that the Niu family was about to be sad about the tragic death of her eldest son, Mama Hu sighed secretly, smiled reluctantly, and wanted to divert her attention: "This matter is so big today, even the county government knows about it, I'm afraid that the whereabouts of the He family are unknown, and it will be spread." If the county government makes it clear that those horse thieves are all pretending, then that's all, it's just a ridiculous method that He Ziyu came up with in order to snatch his sister. But if the county government doesn't try it, and directly treats everyone as a horse thief, He Ke will become a woman who was snatched away by a horse thief, and she will have no reputation. When Brother Zi'er comes back in the future, I'm afraid he will also be gossiped about. ”

"Just say it!" Niu said categorically, "She and her brother have done their own crimes, do you want our family to cover up for her?" I will tell the old man that there is no need to give her a family tree, because Brother An has never married a daughter-in-law. In the next year, worship the ancestors, just record Brother Zi'er directly in the name of Brother Ping's daughter-in-law, and even save the succession! If an outsider has to ask to understand, I will say that he is born from other people in Brother An'er's house, and it has nothing to do with the surname He!"

Qin Hanzhen listened curiously: "Grandmother, what does this mean?" Could it be that Brother Zi'er has never been on the family tree?
