The night of late spring was still cool, Su Qi was wearing a blue brocade robe, with a wide brocade belt of auspicious clouds around his waist and a white coat. The jet-black hair fell onto the snow-white hood, and the black and white were distinct.

Although this dress is rich, it is actually missing a noble word, which is the most suitable for the prince's banquet. Showing wealth is not the same share, and being less expensive is to avoid losing etiquette. Up and down the Qin Kingdom, apart from the King of Qin, who can be more expensive than the crown prince?

The size of the Prince's Mansion was not much compared to that of the Su Mansion, and it took a while to reach the banquet hall. As soon as Su Qi entered the door, Qin Shu hurriedly got up and greeted him: "Why did General Su come a quarter of an hour early?" Knowing this, Lone should have gone out to welcome General Su as soon as possible. ”

"The prince is kindly invited, so you should come early." Su Qi smiled and took off the big sash on his body, "As for the prince to greet him personally, this is even more impossible." At the invitation of the prince, it is my luck, how dare I allow the prince to greet me. ”

Not to mention that the prince is a monarch and Su Qi is a minister, but Qin Shu is a person, he has always been empty-eyed, self-respecting and noble, and has never put others in his eyes except for King Qin. To say that he greeted Su Qi in person was just a polite remark. If he really had the intention to do it, he would know that Su Qi's carriage was still outside the eight alleys.

is also the right way, Su Qi deliberately came a moment early. I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain, especially if this villain is still a high-powered prince. Dealing with Qin Shu, she can't make a single mistake, otherwise she will become Qin Shu's grip. Both of them are clear about the matter, but this does not prevent them from talking haha and saying polite words.

Su Qi casually looked around the banquet and smiled even deeper. The people present were both familiar and unfamiliar to her, and she had read the information of these people thousands of times, and she had long remembered them, but they had never dealt with each other head-on. I didn't expect that we would gather together today, Qin Shu is really 'considerate'.

Without him, these people are Qin Shu's confidants and ministers. According to Su Qi's assumption, Qin Shu should test her first, and only after she showed her allegiance would she be pushed to the confidant minister. At the moment, Su Qi avoided the hypocrisy and grievances with Qin Shu, and directly contacted his confidant ministers, which saved a lot of trouble.

Su Qi hooked his lips playfully and smiled, and he didn't know what Du Ning'er said to him, so that he had such confidence to do such an inevitable thing. Seeing her smile deepen, Qin Shu made up her mind and enthusiastically pulled him into a seat, "Come on, drink as much as you want, you are all your own people, you don't have to be polite to Lonely." ”

Su Qi smiled, and he didn't say anything when he raised his glass to drink. Whatever she says is not flattering, so why should she reply? To put it mildly, it was to answer the words of his own people; If you say it clearly, it is to offend him again, and it is thankless.

Qin Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he scolded secretly: Old fox, raise your head and take a bite. At this moment, Liu Xi and Du Ning'er entered side by side, and the noisy scene calmed down for a while. Liu Xi and Du Ning'er were originally beauties in the world, but entering together at this moment will inevitably arouse everyone's attention.

Qin Shu saw everyone's reaction, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise proudly. When his gaze fell on Du Ning'er's side, the corners of his mouth suddenly froze, and then embarrassment. Liu Xi is dressed very decently today, with brocade clothes and gorgeous sleeves, beautiful and dignified without losing etiquette. Although there are not many jewelry on her head, they are expensive, and they also show the dignity of the prince's mansion.

Du Ning'er on the side was wearing a long white dress, and there was only a jade hairpin on her head, which could be described as extremely elegant. If she was dressed like this on other occasions, she would have been able to win the name of a fairy, but today she stood beside the gorgeous Liu Xi, and the state of despair could not help but arise. This is a tall dress, but it can't be on the stage in contrast.

Sure enough, Qin Shu scolded unhappily: "Du Shi, today's banquet is so important, why are you dressed like this?" Don't come shabby, adults, go and dress up! ”

Du Ning'er lowered her head and stopped stepping forward. She is not without gorgeous clothes, but if she does not match them with jewelry, it will be even more shabby when the time comes. Earlier, she had given all her jewelry to the hero, and the jade hairpin on her head was borrowed. Asking her to go back to dressing up now is tantamount to digging her back.

"Du Shi, didn't you hear Lone's orders? Why are you still stunned here? Qin Shu frowned, and her voice intensified.

Su Qi pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Liu Xi appreciatively. In fact, no matter when Liu Xi arrives, she will overwhelm Du Ning'er. The charm, rhyme, and demon on her body are something that Du Ning'er can never catch up with with her bare skin. Even so, she chose to enter with Du Ning'er. This intention is even more sinister, and it directly sent Du Ning'er to hell.

Su Qi can fully imagine that after Liu Xi entered the prince's mansion, Du Ning'er's life was so miserable. She coughed lightly, if the play is to be sung, Du Ning'er must also be present. She also knew that no matter how much Du Ning'er tossed back, she couldn't toss a decent dress. Earlier, she made too many enemies in the Prince's Mansion, who didn't step on her turn when it was her turn to be down? She couldn't lend good things, and the jewelry was given to the hero......

Su Qi raised his glass and said seemingly casually: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why be angry about this matter. In my opinion, such an elegant outfit is more noble. ”

Qin Shu was slightly flustered, and she couldn't help but think differently in her heart: Du Ning'er and Su Qi had never met, but now Su Qi opened her mouth to help her exonerate. It seems that as Du Ning'er said, she has a deep friendship with Su Huiniang. And it is very likely that Su Huiniang mentioned Du Ning'er many times in front of Su Qi, which made Su Qi feel compassion.

"Even if General Su said so, you don't have to change it." Qin Shu paced lightly, and her tone was as gentle as before, "You can't do this next time, you can't be lazy here." ”

Qin Shu also counted on Du Ning'er to persuade Su Qi to return to obedience on his behalf, and naturally he was not stingy with good words. He took Du Ning'er's hand and sat down by himself, completely ignoring the willow on one side. It was also at this time that Liu Xi raised his eyebrows to Su Qi and signaled: Things have been prepared.

Su Qi smiled knowingly.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's have a feast!" Qin Shu waved his hand and commanded, then turned his head and said, "General Su has been away for many years, and I am afraid that I have not tasted the special dishes of the Qin State for a long time. This time, Lone specially invited the imperial chef from the palace, and hoped that the general would taste one or two. ”

"Thank you for the prince's love and hospitality. A cup of the prince under the salute. Su Qi heartily raised his glass and toasted again.

As soon as Su Qi's words fell, a series of beauties entered one after another, dancing slowly and singing lightly, fluttering like a fairy. Two big men carried the whole braised pig into the middle of the field. Qin Shu beckoned and smiled: "This is the first specialty, all braised pig." General Su, I'm afraid I've never eaten it. Taste it, it's delicious. ”

……

The man died, and hot blood and brains sprayed all over her face and body.

He lay motionless on the ground, a large amount of blood and brains flowing from the back of his head, and the trafficker covered her mouth for fear that she would vomit.

The man in front of him was expressionless, holding a murderous hoe in his hand, as if he had killed not a man, but a pig.

The trafficker fell into an irrepressible fear, and she instinctively kowtowed to the butcher, begging constantly: "Big brother, don't kill me." You ask for money, I'll give it to you. I have money, I have thirty thousand. ”

According to the rules of the mountains, if a person outside the mountain steals something from a person in the mountain and is caught, it is not too much to be beaten to death. But Tu Cun was still touched by the words of the female trafficker, and the hand that had just raised the hoe slowly drooped.

If this wicked woman gave him the 30,000 yuan she earned from selling the baby, although he lost 10,000, but now he has 30,000 yuan, it will be considered a profit.

He dragged the woman peddler up, "Where's the money?" Take it out. ”

The woman trafficker was relieved when she saw Tu Cun, and she was also relieved, although she was a little unwilling to fold so much money this time, but at least she had her life, and she was not afraid of no money to burn.

She put on a flattering smile and said honestly: "Big brother, the money is not on me, it is buried in the back mountain." ”

When Tu Cun heard this, he thought that the trafficker was lying to him again, so he angrily pushed the trafficker away, picked up the hoe and prepared to teach her a lesson.

Seeing this, the woman trafficker hurriedly knelt down, hugged Tu Cun's legs, and snorted and cried, for fear that the hoe would fall on her and her life would be gone, "Big brother, you have to believe me." The money is really not on me, I am really buried in the back mountain. If you don't believe me, you can tie me up and I'll take you with me. ”

Tu Cun was a little loose, and although he was suspicious of the trafficker's words, his hand picking up the hoe still stopped in mid-air. If she kidnaps a female trafficker, I believe she won't be able to escape. If she dares to lie to him, make him run away in vain, and see if he doesn't beat her to death.

Tu Cun made up his mind, dragged the woman trafficker, tied her tightly with a large iron chain, tied the other end of the chain to himself, and dragged her with satisfaction.

At this drag, the female trafficker felt that the places where she was tied up were bruised, and she trembled in pain, but she didn't dare to show it, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. I thought to myself that I would give him the money later, and say a few kind words for him to let him go down the mountain.

As long as she goes down the mountain, and sees that she does not find someone to cut off his hands and feet, and then sells him to the beggars, she will suffer twice as much as on him.

The two of them walked up the back hill with their own ghosts, and the female trafficker took Tu Village to the place where the money was buried, and pointed: "This is it, I buried the money here." ”

Tu Cun stared at the place where the female trafficker was pointing, and the embers in his heart slowly turned into excitement, as if he saw 30,000 yuan waving to him. He pushed the female trafficker, and his voice couldn't stop being excited: "Dig out the money." ”

The woman seller didn't have a small shovel with which the money was buried, so she could only consider herself unlucky to plow the ground with her bare hands, but fortunately, she didn't bury it deeply, and she quickly found a plastic bag. Tu Cun turned on the flashlight, saw that the plastic bag had been dug out, kicked the female trafficker away, and ran over to pull out the plastic bag.

Tu Cun's kick is not heavy, and it is not light, but the woman is not good at trafficking and crashes into a big tree on the side. knocked out his front teeth, covered his mouth with blood, and rolled on the ground.

Tu Cun didn't care whether she lived or died, and opened the plastic bag with joy. Sure enough, the wicked woman stole his things, and the plastic bag contained the silver ornaments that his mother had left for him, but there was no superfluity.

Tu Cun unwillingly rummaged back and forth several times, but there was no trace of money, so he couldn't help but be angry, and struggled to pull the chain, "Money? Sue me, where did the money go? How can there only be silver jewelry? ”

The female traffickers were also dumbfounded, how did the money become shabby silver jewelry? In the blink of an eye, it must have been the bastard who stalked her first, poached the money, and then put the stolen silver jewelry in to frame her. so that Tu Cun thought that she had stolen something, and left her to be tortured. He himself took 30,000 yuan and the stolen money down the mountain to eat fragrant and spicy food.

This turtle grandson, fortunately, he is dead now, otherwise, he would have to be kept alive.

The woman trafficker glanced at Tu Village, who looked like a beast about to go berserk, and she couldn't help but tremble when she saw it, and regardless of the pain in her mouth, she opened her mouth to tell her guess, and promised him that she would help him find the money that the man had hidden.

It's a pity that her front teeth fell out, and her speech became unclear, Tu Cun didn't understand a word, but the more he listened, the more irritable he became, picking up the hoe and hitting her, of course, he didn't dare to hit her head, for fear that the whereabouts of the money would not be asked, and the person would die first.

The trafficker kept promising Tu Cun that she would help him find the money he had hidden, but it didn't make him lighter. Gradually, her voice of assurance was mixed with pleading. In the end, only a faint cry remained. She thought she was going to die like this, but a weak, thin voice saved her.

"Brother Tu?"

She looked up, and a blazing white light obscured the man's appearance, and she thought she had met the angel's salvation. But the white light slowly faded, and finally she saw clearly that this girl was the girl who bought her child today.

Tu Cun stopped his hand, frowned at Su Qi, and said unhappily: "Xiaohua, why are you here?" I'm having something, don't bother me. ”

Su Qi lowered his head, and his soft voice looked a little timid, "Brother Tu, not only I am here, but everyone in the mountains is here." ”

Tu Cun was shocked, and looked down the mountain, and sure enough, there was a white light. Tu Cun sank his face, and when the meeting came, this matter would definitely not be able to be stopped. According to the rules of the mountain, as long as this evil woman is beaten by the mountain people, the mountain people will bury her if she dies, and she will be let down the mountain if she is alive.

If she survives, she will definitely go down the mountain with his money. But if she is killed, his money will not be found. Therefore, this money will not fall into his hands. In this case, it is better to kill her now, lest she wait until she dies and go down the mountain with his money.

He raised his hoe and was about to give the final blow to the female trafficker, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by Su Qi's arm, and he couldn't move. He put down the hoe angrily, he never expected that this little girl's strength was so great, and he was more cautious about Su Qi, and told her about the matter, hoping that she would not be nosy.

Su Qi pondered for a while and said, "Brother Tu, you also know the rules of the mountain people. If you follow the rules, you will suffer too much, I have a way here. You can't hide this matter, and you're not young, so you bought a daughter-in-law with this money. I believe that this eldest sister is willing to marry you. ”

Tu Cun's eyes lit up, yes, he bought a daughter-in-law with this money, although this evil woman is a little older, but this white and chubby appearance can give birth to a male baby at a glance. Thinking that the boy she sold to Su Qi was so beautiful, he was much better looking than the man trafficker, and maybe he could give birth to a more beautiful boy. 10,000 yuan can buy a daughter-in-law and son, which is really cost-effective.

He kicked the female trafficker with his foot, without the slightest negotiating tone, "Would you like to live with me?" ”

The woman trafficker looked at Tu Village's fierce gaze, gritted her teeth and nodded. Although she is dizzy now, she can also see the current situation clearly, if she does not agree with Tu Cun's Tiyì, she will definitely be beaten to death by him. She doesn't want to die, as long as she survives now, she can say anything in the future.

Seeing that she agreed, Tu Cun happily untied her, took her to see the lieutenant and told her everything. Although the lieutenant did not like this stealing trafficker, he was full of joy when he saw Tu Village, and repeatedly assured that the trafficker would never steal again, and gave them blessings.

Since then, the female trafficker has been the rightful wife of Tu Village. Everyone is very satisfied with this ending, Tu Cun has a wife, and he estimates that his son will soon be there, and the female trafficker also survives as he wished.

But the trafficker never expected that she would survive, but it was better to die than to survive. Tu Cun not only has the habit of beating women, but even if life is a little unsatisfactory, he will punch and kick her, and it is common for her to have all kinds of injuries on her body. On top of that, she had to do a lot of farm work every day, and in less than a month, she was dark and thin.

She is now full of hope that she can find the money hidden by the men, return the money to Tu Village, and then let her go down the mountain. It's a pity that Tu Cun watched her closely, and several times she sneaked out of the room, and he caught her back and beat her severely. After a few beatings, she didn't dare to run away.

Life has worn out her hopes little by little, her empty eyes are like a dead man, and her whole body is filled with the air of despair, and she is lifeless. Even though Tu Cun had been beating her more recently, she didn't react at all.

Tu Cun is also anxious, it's been a few months, there is no sign of pregnancy, this mother-in-law is not young anymore, what if she can't give birth to a baby in a few more years? However, what Tu Cun didn't know was that the traffickers had lost their fertility due to over-abortion a few years earlier.

Su Qi watched this scene and laughed. That's right, she took the money and buried the silver ornaments. Although this punishment method is a bit tactful, the so-called wicked people have their own wicked grinding, and she didn't want to give Huang Xiaohua a bloodstained body after completing the task. Huang Xiaohua is a kind person, and she has no right to deal with other people's bodies like this.

Seeing that the time had come, Su Qi also made an excuse to the lieutenant and left the mountain with the two children. If Tu Cun had stopped Su Qi and prevented her from going down the mountain, he still hoped that Su Qi would not be able to support the boy and give it to him as a son. But now that he has a wife, although he is not pregnant yet, if he works hard, he may be pregnant.

In this way, the female traffickers have to do a lot of farm work during the day, and they have to be tortured more and more by the slaughter village at night, and their bodies are rapidly aging, like a grandmother in her fifties.

Even so, it was as if Heaven wanted to punish her. She didn't have any farming experience before, so she could only learn from others to farm according to the gourd painting scoop, but Dong Shi followed her example and fell into no harvest. was so angry that Tu Cun beat her so badly that she couldn't get out of bed.

A week later, the harvest season arrived, and Tu Cun was full of expectations that Grandpa Huang Xiaohua's land would bring him a bumper harvest, but reality gave him a cruel slap. The land did not bring him a good harvest, and it was not even as productive as his original land.

His original yield was high in the mountains, but after being planted by the woman, there was no harvest. She also took care of this field for a few days, and now the yield has dropped sharply.

He felt that he had found the truth, and it must be because of the mother-in-law. He even thinks that the traffickers must have come to harm him, and as long as she is there, he will not be fine. He decisively picked up the hoe and was ready to beat the trafficker to death, to see if she would still harm him?
