25. A false alarm
"Insidious?" The fifth master said: "Everyone wants your life, no matter how soft you are, you are a nest." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I'm washing my hands, or I'm going to have to dig up his ancestral grave. The grandfather and grandson walked back as they spoke. After tossing back and forth, it was almost dark.
The fifth master asked Cheng Linghui to bring back pheasants and hares. The tiger skin was left for the time being, and she was told not to speak out. This whole tiger skin in perfect condition is worth a lot of money. It's better to be on guard when it's time to take precautions.
After being plotted this time, Cheng Linghui was also very scared. I completely stopped thinking about going home to brag. When I got home, I didn't mention anything about hunting tigers.
The family was very happy to see her back. Cheng Linghui went to bring it back for three or four days, and only ate a hot meal at the fifth master's place. The rest of the time is to nibble on dry food and drink cold water. When it's really cold, drink old wine to warm up. When I returned home at this moment, although it was still coarse tea and light rice, I also ate with relish. After eating, the fourth sister boiled water and washed and peeled a few pheasants. Hang it under the eaves outside the house, and it will be fried the next day. The dozen or so hares were reluctant to eat them, and were ready to sell them tomorrow in Zhuanshui City for money.
The next day, Cheng Linghui had not yet gotten up and could smell the aroma of boiled chicken. knew that it must be the fourth sister who got up in the dark to cook. The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age. The fourth sister and the fifth sister are two and a half years old, and they are already good at work.
Cheng Linghui turned over, looked at Xiuwen who was combing her hair and said, "Why don't you sleep more?" Can you stand being so thin? "Xiuwen is not like a girl from a peasant family, she has been used to doing work since she was a child. She is the only daughter of the mountain chief, and she is slender and weak. In addition, because of pregnancy, my worries are heavy, and my body is even more cowardly.
Xiuwen said: "The fourth and fifth sisters younger than me have all gotten up, how can I, who is a sister-in-law, still sleep?" ā
Cheng Linghui replied with a smile: "It's the same as the truth, so I think I really have a brother." You're my real sister-in-law. ā
Xiuwen didn't reply: "I won't be your sister-in-law." I'm your 'daughter-in-law'. ā
Cheng Linghui couldn't help but laugh: "Wait for the next life." I'm afraid that Su Tong will eat me. ā
Xiuwen turned around and screwed her: "Let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense." ā
She was pregnant, and Cheng Linghui didn't dare to fight back. I could only hide in the quilt and beg for mercy: "Good sister, I don't dare." Don't dare anymore. "The two of them are making a fuss. Suddenly, I heard a loud 'bang', followed by a chaotic footsteps. Someone shouted in the courtyard: "Who is Cheng Sanhui?" Come out. ā
Xiuwen's face turned pale: "I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers are coming to arrest me." ā
Cheng Linghui said: "Don't be afraid. I'll take a look. He hurriedly got dressed, opened the door and walked out while lifting his shoes. I saw that the courtyard was full of officers and soldiers. A general who looks like a thousand stands proudly in the courtyard. Grandpa also came out, and asked Qian'er, "Master Jun, what's wrong?" ā
The general said: "Someone reported that your family harbored the imperial court. ā
Grandpa said, "This is unjustly killed." Our old Cheng family has been honest people for generations. The military master didn't dare to talk nonsense. ā
The general waved away the grandfather who was blocking in front of him, and said impatiently: "Tell Cheng Sanhui to come out." ā
Cheng Linghui hurriedly stepped forward to support her grandfather and said, "I am." ā
The general also squinted at Cheng Linghui: "Boy, you still look like a dog." Let's go with grandpa, right? ā
Cheng Linghui said: "What do I do, do you want to arrest me?" ā
The general said: "Someone reported that you harbored the Qin criminals." It's light to catch you. ā
Cheng Linghui said: "My head has a big scar off the bowl, and I am not a person who is afraid of death." But you have to die to understand. Since someone reported that I harbored a Qin criminal, what about the Qin criminal? ā
The general said, "Don't be stubborn." The prisoner is your little daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. Looking at the military master, he didn't know that they were the nerdy wife and daughter of Gusu Academy. You didn't mention it, I forgot. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers were about to burst into the house.
"Wait." A loud shout. I saw Shi Niang coming out of the east house and standing up in front of the officers and soldiers.
The general looked at Shi Niang: "Who are you?" ā
The master lady did not hurry to salute the general, and said, "General, can you listen to the words of the people's women?" ā
The general said impatiently: "If you have something to say, ...... quickly" When his eyes touched the master's neither arrogant nor humble look, he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Shi Niang said: "Even if the wife and daughter who are the head of the academy are guilty, they can follow their father at home, marry their husband, and die from their sons." It is for the three slaves. The daughter of the mountain chief has already promised the Cheng family as her daughter-in-law, and the three media and six certificates are all complete. Even if his father committed the great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, there was no reason to harm other people's daughters-in-law in ancient times. ā
The general said, "Who is you, woman?" How dare you come to teach me a lesson? ā
Shi Niang said: "The general has lifted the people's women." Even if the women have the courage to be disrespectful to the general, they don't dare to be disrespectful to the general. The women of the people just told the truth, so that the general would not be deceived by the villain. As for my ......" Shi Niang's tone changed, as if she was full of resentment: "The ex-husband of the folk woman is the mountain chief of Gusu Academy. ā
"Ex-husband?" The general sneered: "It turns out that you are the nerd's wife." ā
Shi Niang smiled sadly: "It would be nice if it was true." Since ancient times, women have been from the beginning. If he hadn't insisted on withdrawing me, he would have been willing to let the woman die immediately. ā
The general said: "What you say is what, being an uncle was deceived?" ā
Shi Niang took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it forward: "The existing letter of resignation is here, please take a look at it." ā
The general was suspicious and took the letter of resignation from the master's hand. looked at it decently for a while, and said, "It's really a retirement." ā
Cheng Linghui almost didn't laugh on the side. The letter of resignation in the general's hand was clearly upside down, and he still pretended to be serious, obviously illiterate. In the area of Chengjiazhuang, the style of advocating literature and martial arts is strong. Illiterate people are rare. There is no one who can't read a word but pretends to be a pretend.
The master looked immersed in the grief of being abandoned by her husband and couldn't extricate herself, took back the letter of resignation and said: "Although my husband is ruthless, the women can't be unrighteous. General, please take the women away. If the women are lucky enough to get her husband's forgiveness, they will live and die together. Even if the women are under the Nine Springs, they will remember the general's kindness every day. The master knelt down as she spoke.
Xiuwen listened in the house, rushed out and knelt beside her, crying: "Mother, you want to have three long and two short, how can your daughter live?" The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, which was very pitiful.
The general was not willing to give up, and sneered: "It's useless for you to do a good show in front of your grandfather." Grandpa just arrests people. It doesn't matter who you are, whose ex-wife you are. As he spoke, he asked people to step forward and drag the mother and daughter.
Cheng Linghui didn't see it well, broke free to catch his own officers and soldiers, and knelt on the ground 'plopped': "The general is gracious." Let's go with you, don't hurt my daughter-in-law. She still has a baby in her belly. ā
"What child?" The general didn't pay any attention to it. The officers and men are even more wolf-like.
Suddenly, I heard my grandmother crying: "God, this is the queen of our old Cheng family." We bothered Baal to keep such a root as Sanhui, and we have to see that we have become relatives and have descendants. That's it...... Oh my God, you open your eyes. Our old Cheng family has never had a person who hurts nature and reason in his life...... Which black-hearted one is this, and we want to be the queen...... "I have to say, grandma is still a little anxious. When it comes to the imperial court, most of the villagers will stand by and watch. But when it comes to the heirs of the Cheng family, it's different.
In the past, most people lived in clusters, and the power of the clan should not be underestimated. When it comes to offspring, it is not a matter of one family, but of the entire clan. Generally, when this happens, all the courts and laws have to stand aside.
When the mother and her two sisters heard this, they immediately began to cry. The family cried so badly. The early alarm alarmed the villagers who got up early.
As soon as the officers and soldiers twisted Cheng Linghui and the mother and daughter of the master and daughter out of the gate of Cheng's house, they saw many villagers surrounding them. Many also carry farm tools such as pickaxes and dung forks. A group of men came menacingly and surrounded the officers and soldiers in the middle.
The commander shouted, "Are you going to rebel?" "But it's already very inward-looking.
The leader of the villagers is the village chief of Chengjiazhuang, and he is also the first (patriarch) of the Cheng family - Cheng Liuye. I'm over 60 years old this year, but I'm in good health. The sixth master clenched his fist to the general: "Master Jun, don't dare to say this." Chengjiazhuang can be a good citizen for generations. There has never been a violation of discipline and law. ā
The general glared: "Then why are you stopping me?" I don't know if I was ordered by the imperial court to arrest the Qin criminals? ā
The sixth master said: "It is right for the military master to arrest the Qin criminals. It's just that I don't know what kind of law my nephew and mother have committed? How did you become a prisoner? ā
The general said: "This is a matter of the imperial court, you want to know and ask the imperial court." ā
The sixth master didn't buy it, and snorted coldly: "But what you want to arrest is our Cheng family, don't want to take people away if you don't make it clear." As soon as the village chief turned his face, the villagers naturally agreed.
"Say ......"
"Say ......"
"If you can't tell, you can't be asked to take people away."
The general pulled out his saber and waved it: "It's against you, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being polite." ā
The sixth master said coldly: "This is going to come to Heng?" Looking at Cheng's family, are they scared? As he spoke, he said to a child who was only eleven or twelve years old next to him: "Huzi, go back and get grandpa's crutches." Grandpa showed you both hands today. "The crutches in the mouth of the sixth master are not crutches for the disabled, but a weapon. The abduction meteor in the eighteen martial arts, the crutch is what it says.
The child named Huzi agreed, and ran out of the crowd with a puff of smoke. After a while, he came back with a pair of crutches. The sixth master clasped his elbow one in one hand, and asked, "Are you fighting alone with me?" Or do you want your men to come along? Let's talk ugly, if we go together. I'm old, so I have to ask my nephews to help. "That's what it means to fight in a group.
The general saw that although the other party was all elderly people and children, they all looked bad. I don't know how many practitioners there are. was hesitating, and Grandpa walked out with a flat pole in his hand. said to the village chief: "Sixth brother, I can still move." It's not your turn to get started. ā
Grandpa only has one brother, the eldest grandfather. and the fifth and sixth masters are all brothers of their own family. Ordinary titles are based on the rank in the family tree. The Cheng family is a big family, and there are one hundred and twenty-one adult brothers in Grandpa Guang's generation. The eldest grandfather is the largest, and the grandfather is the second. The third master is no longer there.
"What's the matter? Do you really want to do it? The general first coaxed: "If you have the ability, let's go to the county government of Shaxi County to reason." ā
The sixth master said: "Reason is reasonable." Arrest people for no reason, and you ignore them wherever you go. ā
"Village chief, don't wronged this general." Shi Niang suddenly spoke: "The general also came to arrest people because he was loyal to the imperial court. It's just that before I came, I was deceived by a traitor, and I arrested a few of us without knowing it. The misunderstanding was opened, and everything was gone. ā
The general was not a real fool, and when he heard this, he immediately climbed down the pole and said, "Isn't that how you got it?" There is a man named Xu Zhengliang in Yushugou, who came to the garrison yamen last night to report. Then the garrison sent our brothers to arrest them. We didn't know there was a misunderstanding. ā
The sixth master made a look of sudden realization: "So that's the case." No wonder adults are deceived. Who doesn't know that Xu Zhengliang is a famous Laizi in Sili and Eight Townships. Relying on the old lady to protect her shortcomings, it is not a thing to fight children. ā
The general had no choice but to look furious: "I see, no wonder even the garrison has been deceived." Let Cheng Linghui and Xiuwen's mother and daughter go. He went with his men and horses.
Cheng Linghui looked at the sixth master and the villagers and bowed his head: "Thank you for the sixth master and all the villagers." ā
The sixth master pulled her up and said, "You still go out to hide, I'm afraid that the soldier won't give up." He glanced at his mother again, and whispered to Cheng Linghui: "Your daughter-in-law and her mother are not simple." After speaking, he patted Cheng Linghui's shoulder and said to everyone: "It's okay, let's disperse." What to do, what to do. ā
Cheng Linghui looked back at Shi Niang, only to see Shi Niang's face glaring at Xiuwen. Cheng Linghui said secretly: "It's going to be bad." ā
