Chapter 33: The Poison Scheme
On this day, Xinghua dressed up and came to Nanping Village, and asked around about the residence of the two. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info at this time, the two were practicing boxing at home, and suddenly saw a beautiful little lady smiling into the yard, and after a closer look, it was the "village flower" that made them think about it day and night - apricot blossoms.
Song Hu and Song Bao saw that the person who came was Xinghua, but they were overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward.
One stuck to Xinghua's face and said, "Oh, isn't this Sister Xinghua?" It's been a long time since I've seen my sister, what kind of wind blew my good sister here? ”
The other stepped forward to touch Xinghua's hand: "Good sister, why do you have time to come to my brother today?" Do you miss us two brothers? ”
The two were still moving, Xinghua tried to suppress the nausea in her heart, gently pushed away the hands of the two, squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother Tiger, Brother Leopard, my sister is here today to discuss with the two brothers."
The two of them are a little confused, what can this little lady do with them? The reputation of the two of them is quite great in Yong'an City, but it seems that no one has done anything serious with them yet. Thinking of this, the two of them also straightened up and said, "Sister, what is the matter, let's hear it." Xinghua looked around and said, "It's inconvenient here, let's go to the house and talk."
Walking into the house, Xinghua said: "Do the two brothers want to make some silver taels and make a windfall?" The two said: "Of course I want to, but I can't find a good way", Xinghua said: "I just have a ready-made method here, it depends on whether the two brothers dare to do it", the two hurriedly asked what the method is, Xinghua said: "I know a woman, beautiful, fatherless and motherless, this woman attracts bees and butterflies all day long, and even provokes my future husband, if the two brothers help me out of this evil breath, I will repay me with a lot of money."
After hearing this, the two asked how to help out their anger, and Xinghua said: "You can kidnap this woman and sell it to the Qinglou, or the two brothers can enjoy it themselves, they can not only make money, but also eliminate disasters with their sisters, what does my brother think?" ”
The two hesitated a little after hearing this, although this idea can make money, but after all, robbing and selling people is risky, if it is discovered, it will be seen by the official, and it will not be worth being put in prison at that time.
Xinghua saw that the two hesitated to answer, so she pretended to be angry and said: "Call me a good sister all day long, and now you don't even want to help me with this little thing, and you lied to me about being happy on weekdays", the two saw that Xinghua was angry, and then thought about it, as long as Xinghua didn't say it, no one would know, and there would be silver if she did it, so she said: "My sister said what to do, my brother listens to you."
Seeing that the two agreed, Xinghua turned into laughter with joy, so she asked the two to discuss how to act. After agreeing with the two of them on the plan to rob people, when Xinghua went to the county seat to find Wu Changzhi, she inquired about the location of Shen He's new home by the way. And specially took the two of them to investigate around the courtyard of Shen He's house, and when they were ready to do it, they were more sure that they were seen by Xiaocui that time, but Xiaocui didn't pay attention to the apricot blossoms.
The last time Shen He returned to the village and met Xinghua, seeing Shen He's amazing appearance, Xinghua's resentment deepened, and it also strengthened her determination to get rid of Shen He, so the three of them agreed to act on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and Xinghua gave the two of them ten taels of silver, which was considered a reward for help, and promised to give the two of them ten taels after the matter was completed. Where did the apricot blossoms get so much silver? It turned out that these silver were the recent marriage gifts given by Wu Changzhi to Xinghua Niang, and Xinghua Niang gave Xinghua dozens of taels of silver for her to buy a dowry, plus Xinghua's usual savings, she could be regarded as saving forty or fifty taels, so she dared to take out these silver for the two of them.
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the two have been secretly following Shen He, and when "Bao Xiangzhai" opened, the two were mixed in the crowd of onlookers, and they wanted to wait for an opportunity to start, but there were always people around Shen He, and they didn't find the right time to follow them all day. It wasn't until the evening that Shen He went home alone, and the two finally found a chance. After Shen He was stunned, it was already late at night, and the city gate had already been lowered, so the two had to hide Shen He in the carriage for the night. As soon as the city gate opened on the second day, the two hurriedly sent Shen He out of the city, drove the carriage to Lin'an City, dozens of miles away, and found the buyer who had already been set - a hunter far away in the mountains.
This hunter is over twenty years old, and his brain is not very good, and he only depends on his old mother for his life, and lives by hunting, so he has not yet married. The Song Hu brothers have a distant relative who opened a restaurant in Lin'an City, and this hunter often sends some mountain game to the store. Later, when the two and Xinghua agreed to sell Shen He, they were afraid of being discovered, so they did not sell him to the Qinglou, but thought of the hunter. The two agreed with Orion's mother to sell Shen He to this deep mountain and old forest for thirty taels of silver, so that they didn't have to worry about being found, and they got the silver, which was really the best of both worlds. After the two sold Shen He, Xinghua persuaded them to find a place to hide for a year and a half before coming back, and fifty taels of silver was enough for the two of them to live for a while.
But Song Hu and Song Bao didn't take Xinghua's words seriously, the Orion family lived in the mountains all the year round and basically didn't deal with outsiders, so they didn't have to worry about being known. But there are also some thieves who are weak-minded, so they ran to the restaurant of a relative's house in Lin'an City, helped serve the plates, greeted the guests, and became the second shopkeeper.
Now, Shen He in the deep mountains is sitting on a stool worrying, how to escape from here. Shen He was thinking about it, the old woman brought the hot porridge and rice and put it on the table, seeing her sitting on the stool, the ropes of her hands and feet were untied, and she hurriedly said: "Ah Niu, why did you untie her, if she ran away, you would have no daughter-in-law", Ah Niu said: "Mother, she said, don't run away", and said to Shen He: "If you don't run, be a daughter-in-law." Run, I, twist your neck", said and made a neck twisting motion. Shen He listened to him say that breaking people's necks was like a common thing, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart, this Ah Niu seemed innocent and ignorant on the surface, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel. This Ah Niu grew up in the mountains with his mother since he was a child, and spent most of his time with animals, and his mind was not complete, and in his opinion, breaking a person's neck is the same as breaking the neck of a monkey or a tiger, and there is nothing wrong with it.
But when Shen He heard him say this, he shuddered in his heart, knowing that it was too dangerous to run out of the mountains, not to mention whether he could run out, in case he was discovered by Ah Niu, it would be even more dangerous, so it was better to stabilize them first, and wait for Xiaocui and Aunt Yu to find someone to save them. Thinking of this, Shen He smiled and said to Ah Niu: "Ah Niu, what I said will definitely be done", and then looked at Ah Niu Niang and said, "Auntie, you see that I don't even have the strength to stand now, how can I have the strength to escape?" Besides, you can't tie me with ropes all the time, how can I eat and sleep? Are you going to tie me up for the rest of your life? ”。
