Xianyuan Mountain, within a radius of dozens of miles, is scattered with seven or eight villages of all sizes.

Most of these villagers make a living by planting tea, and those with mediocre families guard a few acres of tea gardens, roast tea and sell tea, but they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and those with better family backgrounds will open tea estates and start businesses.

Some families have accumulated for several generations and become big tea merchants. Not only will the local tea sellers go out to sell, but also sell the goods from other places back, one come and go, there will be several such big households in each village, which is very enviable.

In Shangyuan Village, the richest family is surnamed Bao.

I heard that his family has already done business in the surrounding provincial towns, and now the family's tea garden is just doing their duty to their children and grandchildren and guarding their ancestral property.

This Bao family had married an official six or seven years ago, and married the official lady for the eldest in the family.

After all, if you can marry an official, then in the hearts of the people, you will feel that the identity of the Bao family has taken a step further.

It's just that the official lady has a bad life, and I heard that her father committed an accident and killed the emperor. The Bao family planned to send this young lady to the temple to practice and marry another family. I heard that the new daughter-in-law is also an official lady, and her status is even higher than the previous one!

The common people can't understand the affairs of these officials, but some of the kind-hearted ones can't stand it. Discuss in private, no matter how you commit a crime, and there is no official to get someone, why should you give the yuan ration to the court?

Some people who recognize Miss Yuan have to shed a few tears, and the young lady surnamed Yao is really a good person, and she is charitable. In the past few years, they have also given birth to two sons and a daughter for their family, and now the youngest daughter is less than a year old.

But no matter how unhappy everyone is, these housework are always difficult to interfere with. So at most, everyone can only talk behind their backs and scold a few words without conscience.

The Bao family wanted to send the eldest daughter-in-law away, so they sent the person away, and if they wanted to marry the newcomer, they married the newcomer into the door.

The bride has only been in the door for two months. It's still like glue. When I woke up from a nap that day, I suddenly found that the man was gone.

"Where did Uncle go?"

The maid replied honestly, "Uncle and those two sons went to paint." ”

The new lady pursed her lips, "What a painting?" I'm afraid I've heard that people can draw beauties. Ran to inquire about the source, right? ”

The maid didn't dare to answer. The new lady was not easy to have a seizure, so she fiddled with the jewelry boredly and came up with an idea. "Go, bring those little cubs here. Speaking of which, as a mother, I should also care about them, so as to save people from saying that I don't care about being a stepmother. ”

The maid suddenly shrank when she heard this, but she didn't dare to disobey and go to get the book and the ring ruler.

This is the old trick of the new lady, call the little master over to memorize and write, once she makes a mistake, she will scold the little lady at home, saying that they will work harder if they remember their brotherhood. Once the two young masters wanted to protect their sister, they would fight the three of them together, and she entered the door for two months, and beat the three originally lively and innocent children all over her body, and she was stunned.

The maid sighed lightly, even the young grandmother was sent away, she was just a subordinate, what else could she do?

But after a while, there was a mother-in-law back and forth, "The two little young masters and little young ladies were taken out of the house to paint together." ”

What the? The new lady suddenly turned her face, "He Bao Yiqing is so bold!" actually carried me behind my back and took people out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, what are you going to do? Come on, prepare a car for me, I'll go find them! ”

But even if she searched all over the mountains, she couldn't find any trace of Master Bao and a few children. Even the two young men who came to paint were lost together.

At this time, the uncle of the Bao family, who was hard to find by the new lady, was at the foot of Xianyuan Mountain, in a cave behind the mountain temple. Next to him was his original wife, the second lady of the Yao family, holding her three children and crying bitterly.

“…… What the uncle wants to do to me, I admit it. But didn't you say that you would treat your three children well? Look at them, what have they been liked? If it weren't for my sister-in-law, no one would know if they beat people to death......"

Bao Yiqing lowered his head guiltily, these days, he has been patronizing and his new daughter-in-law like glue, and he really didn't know that his three children would be abused like this. But the focus of the matter at the moment is not this, his eyes fell on the son next to him who claimed to be surnamed Zhuang, "Why did you tie me up?" Could it be that you are the Yao family......

Ouyang Zhuang snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether you want to live or not." ”

Bao Yiqing was taken aback, and Second Sister Yao was also taken aback, "This son, thank you for saving my child, but he is my child's father after all." ”

Ouyang Zhuang glanced at the past, Yao Shiyi angrily pulled his sister away and said, "He is your child's father, but he is also the father-in-law who forced you to become a monk, and married a new wife and came back to kill your children!" Do you still plead for this kind of person, do you have to wait until the corpses of the children are collected before you know that you are afraid? ”

Second Sister Yao's face turned pale with fright, and her hands holding the children tightened unconsciously.

The two older sons cried, "Mother, let's not go back, that woman is so terrible, she will beat us to death." ”

Bao Yiqing said hurriedly, "How come? Daddy will protect you in the future! ”

Yao Shiyi snorted coldly, "What about my second sister?" What is she? It's okay to use your lies to fool others, but you don't have to use them to fool us. My father and mother deserve it, but what's wrong with my sister that you have to kick her out of the house? ”

Bao Yiqing was stuck again, and muttered, "But I have already married someone else, and she is also a serious official lady......"

"Whew!" Yao Shiyi was even angrier, and spat heavily in his face, "You still don't tell the truth? Our son-in-law has already found out, and the woman is just a businessman's wife. Because you coveted other people's property, you took advantage of her death and the man hooked her up, and then took advantage of my family's accident to kick my sister out of the house, so that the woman could bring the family property in, yes or no? ”

Bao Yiqing was shocked, "You guys, you all know? ”

Suddenly, he found two extremely sharp gazes, it was Second Sister Yao looking at him with a desperate expression, "Didn't you say that you were also forced?" ”

What used to be virtuous and gentle has now turned into monstrous anger.

Bao Yiqing panicked, "You listen to my explanation!" ”

Yao Shiyi was not afraid to expose her family ugliness, and said bluntly, "Second sister, do you still want to listen to his rhetoric?" Men have no conscience, just like our father, how can he ever take you and your mother to heart? If it weren't for the bride price given by his family, how could my father marry you to this kind of person? Now he has sold your mother and son for someone else's money. You forgive him today, and who can guarantee that he will not exchange your children for silver again? ”

Second Sister Yao glanced at the three innocent children again, and her face turned blue.

At this time, Ouyang Kang received the news and came with Cui Heng.

Yao Shiyi took her sister away very wisely, Bao Yiqing felt that something was wrong and wanted to open his mouth for help, but he punched the guard next to him in the stomach, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't make half a sound.

This kind of scum, the guard has wanted to fight for a long time.

He didn't speak, but it was convenient for Ouyang Kang to ask, "I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense, you just need to tell me honestly, what is the income of your tea garden, how much is handed over to the government, but it is ignored by the government, how does it work." ”

Bao Yiqing was extremely painful, and he couldn't help but change his color in shock, and then looked at Ouyang Kang's cold and beautiful face, and suddenly exclaimed, "You are the concubine of the county lord of Jiashan!" Are you really here to check the tea tax? ”

Ouyang Kang raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression was soft, but his tone was cold, "It seems that you are not unprepared." You have two opportunities now, one is to tell what you know, and maybe I can let you live. The second is to hold on and say nothing. I'll count to ten and choose for myself. ”

When Bao Yiqing was trembling and didn't know whether to say it or not, Ouyang Kang had already begun to count, "One, two, three......"

Suddenly, he smelled a stench, and it was Bao Yiqing who was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Even the guards frowned, but Ouyang Kang said indifferently as if he hadn't smelled anything, "If you dare to faint once, I'll have someone stick a knife in you." Now go on, four, five......"

"I say, I say!" Bao Yiqing's psychological defense line completely collapsed, and the whole person was paralyzed and began to confess.

Tong Chaoyi glanced at Ouyang Kang secretly, and admired it in his heart.

Don't look at this county horse looks like a girl, but he is really a hard-handed and black-hearted master. Look at this ruthlessness, if you go to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department in the future, I don't know how many people will be frightened, no wonder the emperor will send him, there is still some reason.

After Ouyang Kang left satisfied with the answer he wanted, he specially assigned two people to send Bao Yiqing's family back.

When it was dark, the new lady lit a torch and was about to organize the family to go to the yamen to report the case, but saw that the man, his ex-wife and three children had returned.

The new lady was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, "Slut, do you dare to come back?" ”

Syllable! A heavy slap in the face to her. Second Sister Yao looked at the new lady who was beaten stupidly, and was extremely resentful, "This slap is to make you remember who is big and who is small in this family." ”

The new lady covered her face and looked at Bao Yiqing in disbelief, "The surname is Bao, are you dead?" ”

Bao Yiqing is not dead, but his head is stuffed like a dead man.

Mrs. Xin watched as Second Sister Yao took a few sticks and distributed them to the three children, and said, "How much she beat you, you will go and fight back!" With your mother here, no one can bully you! ”

The child doesn't have much strength, but it's still terrible to hit someone hard.

The new lady was quickly beaten and cried wolf, and Second Sister Yao only ordered her subordinates as if she hadn't heard it, "Close the door and don't make noise to the neighbors." ”

From the next day, the new Mrs. Bao family stopped, and instead of it, Uncle Bao "deliberately" picked up the original match.

This is a good thing, of course, the folks will discuss it, but no one will care about what is involved in this.

It's just that the charitable Mrs. Yao has been in charge of the board since then, and Bao Yiqing doesn't dare to mess with her. (To be continued......)
