The days passed little by little in the battle of wits and courage between Liu Xiuying and the Guo family brothers and sisters, and the appearance of these people also added a little fun to Liu Xiuying's ordinary life. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, a catastrophe suddenly struck and completely changed Liu Xiuying's life.

Liu Dashan discussed with Guo Zixing in Dingyuan to prepare to take the first shot of the uprising with the flag of a corrupt official and corrupt official, and the knife was sharpened, but the Ma family, who stayed in Su County, couldn't sit still. She knew that her husband was going to Dingyuan to do a big career, but if she didn't do a good job, she might lose her head, but her husband and daughter were not around, and Ma, who was missing the backbone, was worried and scared, and he couldn't stop worrying.

When the landlord heard that his cousin had taken his daughter out of the house, he instigated the landlord's wife to go to Liu's house to inquire about the news. The two looked around for a few days, and made sure that Liu Dashan and Liu Xiuying were really not at home, only Ma's random kneading melon was left, and they were overjoyed, so the landlord's wife swaggered and came to the door again.

As soon as the landlord's wife entered the living room, she loudly instructed the servants to take out the best melon and fruit food points, as if they were in their own home, and knocked on the side while knocking on the melon seeds to knock on the side What Liu Dashan was doing this trip.

The cowardly Ma couldn't pull his face to refuse the landlord's wife, but he just remembered her husband's explanation and said that the old man went out to visit friends, but her panicked and evasive eyes and tone of voice made the landlord's wife hear that there was something else wrong with this matter.

In the following days, the landlord's wife reported on time every day, as if a bosom sister cared about Ma's bits and pieces, and brought lotus seeds from home to boil soup for her when Ma's mouth was so anxious that the corners of her mouth were boiling.

The feelings of the sick people are particularly fragile, and Ma was moved to tears by the lotus seed soup of the landlord's wife, and he has long forgotten how the landlord Liu's family persecuted their daughter and the explanation when the husband left.

"Uncle is really, even if you are sick, he is not around. When he comes back, I have to talk about him well, how can he only care about visiting friends and even caring about his own daughter-in-law. "The landlord's wife is waiting for Ma to relax and guard against words.

Ma twisted his hands, wanting to speak and stopped. The burden in my heart is getting heavier and heavier, and I really want to find someone to talk to, but my husband tells me not to tell the truth to outsiders, especially to beware of my sister-in-law's family. However, my sister-in-law comes to accompany me every day and cares for me, can I trust my sister-in-law?

The landlord's mother-in-law observed the words, thought for a while, stopped knocking melon seeds, and said solemnly: "Brother and sister, what's the matter, what else can't we talk about between our concubines?" ”

Ma's head hung almost to his chest, and he stammered, "No, it's nothing, it's just that the old man is not there, and he is very panicked." ”

"Oh, my silly sister, what's so embarrassing about thinking about your own man, look at you like that." The landlord's mother-in-law giggled, "Uncle has been gone for several months, has he sent a letter to his family?" The world outside is so chaotic that people are worried. ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when Ma Shi mentions this matter, Ma is even more aggrieved, and her eyes are instantly red, since the moment her husband went out, she began to be worried, and her husband has been gone for so many days, and she doesn't give a letter to the family, and she doesn't know if he and his daughter are okay.

Ma didn't know that in order to find out why his cousin went out, Landlord Liu specially bought a post official to intercept the family letter brought back by Liu Dashan as a clansman, but unfortunately the family letter only wrote "Everything is fine, don't read it", which made Landlord Liu more and more want to find out what his cousin was doing outside.

The landlord's mother-in-law's eyes lit up, and when she saw Ma's sad expression, she immediately asked with concern: "Why are my younger brothers and sisters unhappy, is it that my uncle treats you badly, and he has someone outside?" If he dares to bully you, you tell me, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, how can I, who is a sister-in-law, watch you be wronged. ”

Ma hurriedly defended, "No, no, he just ......"

"Just what?" The landlord's wife asked several times in a row, staring at Ma's tight mouth, and the landlord's wife had to dig out her head immediately to see what secrets were hidden inside. After waiting for a long time, I still didn't see Ma's mouth open, and the landlord's wife suppressed the eagerness in her heart, eased her tone and said softly: "As the saying goes, kiss or not, family." Brother and sister, we are the closest relatives, and we can't write two Liu characters in one stroke. You also know that your sister-in-law has always been devoted to you, who else can you tell if you have grievances or difficulties if you don't tell your sister-in-law? Don't be afraid, even if there is a big event, there is still a sister-in-law. ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm so scared ......" In the gentle words of the landlord's mother-in-law, Ma's psychological defense finally collapsed, sobbing and choking, revealing all the fears of these days.

The more the landlord's wife listened, the more frightened she became, and she didn't know that the melon seeds were scattered all over the ground. There was only one thought in her mind: Uncle actually went to join the White Lotus Sect, this is what the anti-thieves do, I heard that the Tartars catch the anti-thieves everywhere, once the Zhulian Nine Clans are captured, this little miscellaneous hair is going to kill the whole clan. She couldn't sit still any longer, and hurried home with a few perfunctory words from Ma.

When Landlord Liu heard the news brought back by the landlord's wife, he was first shocked and then ecstatic, looking up to the sky and laughing, "Haha, Lao Tzu is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looks forward to this opportunity, this time he will definitely die without a corpse!" ”

The landlord's wife asked in a panic with a white face: "Master, this is a disaster for the nine clans, why are you still happy?" We don't have a good time when something happens to him. ”

"You know what?" Landlord Liu squinted at her, "If I take the initiative to go to the yamen to report that little miscellaneous business, not only will I be innocent, but I will also be rewarded by the county master, and I will kill my relatives in righteousness." Maybe as soon as the county lord was happy, he rewarded me with the little miscellaneous family property. Hmph, even if I can't get his family wealth, the county lord's reward will definitely not be able to run away. ”

"But he's your cousin after all." The landlord's mother-in-law showed a trace of unbearability on her face, if the husband really went to report the cousin, the cousin's family would be finished.

"Humph! Woman's view! Landlord Liu's nostrils turned to the sky, and he said coldly: "That little miscellaneous hair dared to do such a rebellious thing, and he didn't think about the consequences for our family and our clan." He is unkind to me and unjust, and let him toss and turn it on us sooner or later. Now either he dies or we die, do you want him to die or do we die? ”

The landlord's wife blinked and stopped talking.

Landlord Liu poured a cup of yellow soup at home, and the next day he rushed into the yamen to "kill his relatives with righteousness".

No government allowed the existence of the rebels, and the government of the Yuan Dynasty was no exception, but at present, they did not realize that these petty peasant rebels would destroy the Great Yuan Empire like termites corroding the edifice, they were just disgusted by these "termites", and they were mercilessly crushed to death when they found out.

After receiving the report, the county magistrate of Suxian County immediately sent officials to arrest and torture Ma, and learned that Liu Dashan and their daughter had not returned, so he forced Ma to call the two back.

Under the testimony of the landlord's wife, Ma had no way to defend himself. Only then did she know that she had come out of her mouth and brought disaster to her family. It's too late to regret it, she hurt this family and can't hurt her husband and daughter, she shouted at the landlord Liu's family: "I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" The lord will not let you go! After saying that, he hit his head on the pillar, and the blood gushed out like a rushing stream, and soon seeped into the dirt.

"Why don't you keep an eye on this slut?" The county magistrate roared angrily. Killing a woman is useless, and catching the thief is credit.

The officials looked at each other, hesitant, and didn't know how to answer. They had seen too many women trembling in the hall, so they didn't deliberately detain the tortured Ma, but no one could have imagined that this woman would be so resolute and actually take advantage of people's unpreparedness to hit her head to death.

The master persuaded: "My lord, the matter has come to this point, we have to think of another way." ”

"Bad luck!" The county magistrate watched Ma's body being dragged away like a dead dog, turned his head and ordered Landlord Liu, "You go and call that thief back." ”

My lord, I'm not going to go into the mouth of a tiger. That little miscellaneous hair knew that he had killed his daughter-in-law, and he would definitely not let himself go. Landlord Liu instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw the cold eyes of the county commander, his words changed when he reached his mouth, "County master, the little one really doesn't know where this thief is now." I used to hear him mention that there was a righteous brother surnamed Guo, but the younger one didn't ask the person's name and didn't know where the person's family was. Perhaps the servants in the thief's house know his whereabouts. ”

When something happened to the Liu family, the servants also suffered, and they were all locked up in prison to wait for their fate. The servants did not have Ma's unyielding spirit of preferring death, but hated Liu Dashan, who had caused them to be imprisoned, and when they heard the county magistrate interrogating Liu Dashan's whereabouts, they rushed to answer one by one.

The housekeeper shouted even more excitedly: "County master, the little one knows where the surname Guo is." Master, no, it was Liu Antithief who asked me to hire a car to go to Dingyuan at that time. ”

The county ordered someone to arrest the old man who was driving the car.

The old man who was driving the car knelt in the hall and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said tremblingly: "County master, the villain sent the father and daughter to the outside of Dingyuan City that day and came back directly, the villain doesn't know about them." He thanked Liu Dashan for taking care of him along the way, and concealed the fact that there was a black-faced man picking up people at the city gate, and if he confessed to the black-faced man, the county magistrate would definitely force him to go to Dingyuan to recognize people, and he didn't know how long to toss, more than one thing is better than one less.

Landlord Liu was afraid that his cousin would come back to take revenge, so he shouted eagerly: "County master, quickly send someone to Dingyuan to catch that thief." ”

"It's hundreds of miles away from Su County." The master twisted his beard and shook his head imperceptibly at the county order.

"Shut up, idiot! My lord, I have my own arrangements, and I don't need you to dictate. The county magistrate understood the hint of the master, and ordered the official to blast the landlord Liu's family and the old man who drove the car out of the yamen, and escorted the housekeeper and servant back to prison. After waiting for no outsiders in the hall, he asked: "Master, this is a great achievement to catch the thief, why don't you let me send someone?" ”

The master said unhurriedly: "My lord, listen to the humble and detailed. First, the coachman only said that he would send people outside Dingyuan City, what if Liu was transferred to another place in Dingyuan? It will definitely take a lot of manpower to investigate the whereabouts of Liu Anti-thief. Second, even if it is found out that Liu anti-thief is hiding in Dingyuan, but it is beyond the scope of the adult's jurisdiction, if the people sent are lucky enough to catch Liu anti-thief in Dingyuan, the local county order will inevitably come to grab the merit, and when the time comes, the adult will definitely exceed his authority, how can the adult justify? Third, it is estimated that there are many thieves in the dens where Liu anti-thieves gathered, and without the cooperation of the army, the people we sent alone would not be able to take it down. Therefore, according to the humble opinion, it is better for the adults to submit this case to the state government for them to handle, we just wait for the results, and when the court exterminates the anti-thieves, we will definitely take a credit to the adults. ”

"Yes, yes, fortunately you reminded me in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do well, maybe I wouldn't have been able to keep this black hat." The county order suddenly realized and praised again and again. He was still a little reluctant to give up the credit of catching the anti-thief in his heart, and he frowned again, "Do you just let that Liu anti-thief go unpunished?" ”

The master has insight into the heart of the county order, and he does not break it, and the old traitor smiled cunningly: "This matter is easy to do, let's send someone to stay at Liu Anti-thief's house, if Liu Anti-Thief returns, he can be caught on the spot, if he doesn't come back just to bring a letter to the family, then we will also write a letter to deceive him back." ”

"What a waiter, wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! The county magistrate stroked his hands and laughed.

Everything was as the master expected, and it didn't take long for Liu Dashan to come back with a letter from home, and soon a letter written by the housekeeper was also sent to Dingyuan.
