Chapter Seventy-Two: The Runaway Bride

In the Five Elements Great Array under Mingsha Mountain, thousands of horse thieves are trapped and dying, and there is no way to enter the heavens and the earth. In the big array of questions on the mountainside of Mingsha www.biquge.info, several teenagers also cried and laughed from time to time, and from time to time they got up and sometimes lay down, muttering to themselves as if they were crazy.

"Alas~ all kinds of troubles, the world's red dust. Why is it so incomprehensible! In the Taoist temple on the mountain, Xuan Xuzi shook his head and sighed.

"Asking the heart illusion, pointing directly to the seven emotions and six desires, the inner demons. If it's so easy to get through, what's the use of the poor Dao's great array of conscience? Daoyou are too demanding. This is just a group of teenagers, who have not experienced the vicissitudes of the world, and they do not know the obstacles. Let's wait in peace! After three days, whether you can pass the test depends on fate! Lichen also looked at the Inquiry Array on the mountainside and persuaded him.

"How many of your apprentices have made it past this great array of questions?" Xuan Xuozi suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Ugh!" Lichen smiled. After thinking slightly, he replied: "There is one, but now he is in a fantasy like this, and he doesn't know it!" After finishing speaking, his eyes closed slightly, and when he opened them again, he suddenly shook his head and sighed, without saying a word.

Two months ago.

Qingcheng Mountain under Ping'an Town, a big river ripples, all the avenues connect the four directions. Ping'an Town was originally on a rather lively business road, with convenient access to and from waterways, and land routes extending in all directions, which can be regarded as a treasure of feng shui.

On this day, the sun had just climbed to the treetops, and suddenly a gong sounded rapidly on the streets of the town, and just when the townspeople didn't know why, suddenly someone began to shout along the way: "Good news Liu Gongzi of Ping'an Town, the first Xie Yuan of the high school Sichuan Township Test, and the Beijing newspaper even Denghuangjiale!" The townspeople were shocked, and ran out of the door one after another, looking at the annunciation man who was running along the street, and was stunned for a while, and then there was a sudden commotion in the town. Liu Mansion is really on fire on the ancestral grave, "Xie Yuan! Now Liu's Mansion is terrible! The townspeople were envious and jealous, a large group of townspeople who were consciously closer to Liu's Mansion ran towards Liu's Mansion to get some glory, but the rest of the townspeople returned to their homes and looked at the dolls in their houses, and their eyes made all their children shiver.

"Fish Leaping Dragon Gate" is not only available for Jinshi and Dai. Poor Xiucai, Yinjuren, Jin Jinshi. Once you cross the threshold of Xiucai, you will have an identity. You can say out loud that you are also famous. With a good reputation and good grades, you can go to the yamen to get a few buckets of old rice, but there are a lot of people who have no food and clothing, so there are not many actual benefits. When it reaches the level of lifting people, theoretically it is out of the level of the people, and it can be regarded as a reserve official, and it is a first-class official gentry, and some people come to flatter and send money and goods to rely on. It's really a big landlord once turned over!

Not to mention Xie Yuan!

Liu's mansion was full of joy, and even the housekeepers were in good spirits, greeting relatives and friends from all directions, neighbors and neighbors with red faces.

"Paihi!" A joyful shout in front of the door of Liu's mansion remembered that several strong servants arrived in front of the gate with a few baskets of copper coins, and began to grab a handful of yellow, orange and orange copper coins and scatter them outside. A large group of children cheered and grabbed each other, but on the other side, the sound of firecrackers and green smoke filled the air, filled with boundless joy.

Master Liu was full of joy, and he couldn't hide it. Even his footsteps were a little vain and followed the patriarch to discuss the matter of a big banquet and five sacrifices to the ancestors. In the backyard of Liu's house, the old lady of the Liu family was even more happy with a handful of snot and tears. Mrs. Liu had no choice but to suppress her joy for the time being, and helped her mother-in-law wipe her tears first.

There was a commotion in Liu's mansion, and there was joy everywhere. But the little fat man Liu Hong sat alone in the study, listening to the firecrackers outside, the sound of frolicking, talking, and congratulatory sounds, and his heart was in a trance.

Kechang High School is happy, but for some reason Liu Hong always feels that all this is so unreal. A tasteless feeling permeated my heart. It wasn't until I saw the paper on the desk that exuded a light fragrance that I smiled slightly. The feeling of inexplicable emptiness just now melted away in an instant, and all that was left was sweet lovesickness.

Another month has passed, and the joy of Liu Mansion Gongzi High School has just faded, and Liu Mansion has once again begun to put up lanterns and feast.

"The night of the candles in the cave room, when the gold list is inscribed." The Liu Mansion, which has good things in pairs, is about to marry a young grandmother again!

When Liu Hong got up early in the morning, he was fiddled with like a marionette, like this and that, dressed in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, red and happy. With the hat of the bridegroom and a big red flower on his chest, he rode on a horse to pick up the bride.

When he went out, Mr. Liu's face was full of relief, and Mrs. Liu's face was full of tears. Looking at the little meat ball in front of him, he has now grown up in Yushu. Now they are all people who are going to get married, how can they not make Mrs. Liu happy, but they feel like a little bun is about to fly.

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. Liu Hong didn't know how he was at the mercy of the newlywed. I just feel that now it is like a beautiful flower, and it seems that the water has come from the year. Since then, what more can a husband ask for?

It was easy to get rid of a large number of relatives and friends who were pouring wine in front of him, and rushed to the cave room with a slight sense of wine. provoked laughter behind him.

can marry what he loves, where is Liu Hong not satisfied! His wife was his former playmate. Back then, the ugly duckling-like yellow-haired girl had a lot of fights with herself. made Uncle Shi's current Lord Taishan, as soon as he saw himself, he was like looking at an enemy. But my mother and grandmother kept laughing and teasing themselves: "You sister Wanqing, but you are a beautiful embryo!" Will it be okay to marry you and be your wife in the future? ”

Liu Hong's chubby little face instantly wrinkled into a bun: "That girl, what's so good-looking." It's still very fierce, I don't want it! After speaking, he pursed his lips in disgust. It caused my mother and grandmother to laugh.

Who knows? Eighteen changes in women's colleges. When I saw my childhood playmate again, the yellow-haired little girl was already slim and beautiful. And when he speaks, he is shy, gentle as water. Liu Hong was shocked very much, his face swelled like a red cloth, and he fled.

Liu Hong has never been so ashamed when he is so big!

Fate is really amazing, since that meeting, Liu Hong feels that he is in love. deliberately begged his mother to propose, but her mother's face suddenly became embarrassed. He sighed and tried to say something, but he didn't. In the end, I couldn't bear to disobey my precious son's wishes, so I went to discuss with my mother-in-law and husband.

A few days later, his mother came to tell Liu Hong with a happy face, "The other party agreed" Liu Hong only felt that suddenly the sky was high and the sky was wide, and his mind was instantly full of excitement, and he was full of excitement and anticipation.

Letters are left in books, and geese come and go. Liu Hong is looking forward to every echo from the other party in the days to come. But countless times I waited for it, but there were few replies from the other party. Until a few lines of Juanxiu handwriting came faintly on the last piece of paper--Jun should go all out to take the exam, praying for Jinke High School. Beijing Daily even appeared on Huangjia Day, you and I will talk about it again!

Liu Hong was lost for a while, but he had nowhere to sue. I can only read hard. I hope that I can get a good result in the township examination. Impressed the other party.

Liu Hong's mind was chaotic and recalled, with some happiness as he wished, and stepped into his newlywed courtyard.

The small courtyard was silent, and more than a dozen little maids wept with pale faces. A few old women are even more round. Seeing Liu Hong come in, he knelt on the ground with a bloodless face in an instant.

"What's wrong with you! Why do they look like this? "Liu Hong is still very kind to his subordinates on weekdays. I don't know why this yard full of people is scared like this when they see themselves.

"Less, young master. New, bride run, run. Now there is only one in the new house, a bound maid! Several old women cried.

"How is that possible?" Liu Hong waved his hand and smiled. Isn't this the story in the play?

"It's true, it's true!" A bunch of maids couldn't cry themselves, obviously frightened by the consequences.

Liu Hong's face changed, and he immediately rushed into the new house.

The dragon and phoenix candles were lit high, and the room was full of red and jade, beaming with joy. In the big red gauze tent, there was only one little girl in a wedding dress on the wedding bed of the two, but she was tightly tied. Collapsed on the bed with tears on his face. Isn't that his wife's personal maid Snow Goose?

"Where's my new wife?" Liu Hong only felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fainted. Then a monstrous rage rose up and went straight to the brain.

"Where has your young lady gone, say! What have you done to her, say! Otherwise, I don't mind killing you. Liu Hong looked like a mad tiger, grabbed the maid who was still crying on the bed, grabbed the little maid's throat and yelled.

"I, I don't know" The little maid couldn't cry herself. While struggling and coughing, he gritted his teeth and refused to reveal the truth.

"Go, call the lord and the lady, and keep quiet. Since you don't say it, I will send you to the government and torture you, either dead or disabled. It depends on whether your mouth is hard or your bones are hard! Liu Hong is now completely devoid of the gentle and elegant he usually has, and his red eyes look extremely scary.

The little girl was frightened and cried even harder.

"If you don't say anything, you won't have a chance. If you ask for death, I can only fulfill you. Even if I don't do anything to you. Your young lady's family will not let you go. You can think clearly. Such a big thing, you little girl can't afford it! Liu Hong suddenly lowered his voice and persuaded peacefully. After speaking, he handed the little girl a handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears. It's just that the content of the speech is not so "peaceful".

Master Liu is here, and Mrs. Liu is also here. The entire courtyard was cordoned off. I didn't dare to spread the news at all. The guests in front of Liu's Mansion were like clouds, beaming with joy. In the backyard of Liu's Mansion, the people in the courtyard were like chilling cicadas, with trembling faces, and they didn't even dare to say more.

"Poof! Burst! It was the sound of a stick hitting a person's flesh. Master Liu's face was pale, and Mrs. Liu's face was angry. The little maid and the people in the courtyard were tied to the stools. Half of them were the bride's bridal family. One rod after another. The beaten skin is open and the flesh is rotten. but was gagged. Muffled.

Liu Hong closed his eyes and pretended not to see or hear. Under the anger in the heart, I can't care about anything. He allowed his mother to enforce the family law and torture him to extract a confession.

Not everyone is not afraid of death, and not everyone is so hard in the bones. Finally, someone couldn't stand the punishment and spoke.

"Woooooooooooo The old slave is really wronged! This is Miss's own idea, and we can't be forced! We were wronged, and we also persuaded Miss, but we didn't expect her to come to the real thing! ...", an old woman cried.

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Hong interjected eagerly with red eyes and asked.

"It's the young lady who fell in love with a singing opera, named Liu Xiaosheng. They might, probably ran together. The old woman replied.

"Where's the run?" As soon as Liu Hong heard the answer, although he had already made many guesses, he really knew the answer, but he still felt a sudden coldness in his heart.

"They may go, go to Zhejiang, that Liu Xiaosheng is from Zhejiang." The old woman hurriedly replied.

"How can this be reasonable, come, send them all to the yamen. Shame, it's a bastard! "Old Man Liu's angry three corpses jumped violently. Yelled.

There was a burst of exclamations and begging for mercy in the crowd, the yamen of this era is a ghost gate! What's more, when such things enter the yamen, a group of domestic slaves are dead or alive. The maids and ladies can't cry by themselves, how miserable and miserable they are.

"Young master, young master, please, let the master let us go! We have no choice but to do it! Please. A little girl who was only eighteen or nineteen years old suddenly broke away from the encirclement of Liu's family, ran to Liu Hong, hugged Liu Hong's thigh and cried.

This girl is still a child! Liu Hong looked at the frightened little face at his feet, and tears were rippling on the little face that had not yet grown. Follow the fawn-like pitiful gaze.

"Hey!" Liu Hong couldn't bear it for a while. sighed and said, "Father, let them go!" They are just subordinates, how can they take care of the affairs of their own master's family. Maybe they're really just being blinded. ”

"Hong'er, you..." Master Liu was angry for a while, waiting to see Liu Hong look like he was dying. With a soft heart, he sighed and waved his hand: "Forget it, you have grown up too." Sooner or later, this home will be yours. Make up your own mind! Master Liu instantly seemed to be dozens of years old, and left with a sigh under the support of Mrs. Liu.

"Liu Cheng, you take someone to watch them. Don't run around in this yard. Don't shorten their eating and drinking. Liu Hong commanded to a housekeeper.

"You are so ruthless," Liu Hong looked at a room of miserable people. Many of these are maids and women who have been serving their runaway brides for many years. was pushed through the ghost gate so easily. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid there would be more than a dozen unjust souls in this world in an instant!

"Liu Ren, Liu Yi. Go and lead Master Ben's horse out of the gate. Liu Hong instructed his follower. But he ran to the house and took out a sword that he practiced martial arts on weekdays, and hurried out of the door.

"Young Master wait for us". Liu Hong didn't say a word, he didn't even have time to change his clothes when he rode a horse with a sword, so he ran out. A group of follow-up guards in the back saw that the posture was wrong. Immediately leave someone behind to report to the master. The rest of the people immediately rushed to the horse and pulled out the horse, and chased after them all the way.

The group rushed to the dock without stopping. After inquiring, I found out that there were no passenger ships to Zhejiang recently. The group breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately turned the horse's head around and began to chase all the way along the official road. (To be continued.) )
