At dusk, Yu Xiaoying took the earrings and jade pendants scavenged from Wu Zhaorong's body, and ran to the pawnshop in the west of the city to get twenty taels of silver. After getting the money, he went to the largest restaurant in the city and asked for two roast chickens, a leg of mutton and a few vegetarian dishes, packed them on his thin shoulders, and walked briskly towards the Yu family.

Seeing that it was almost coming, a group of noisy people and three or five officials surrounded the Yu family, and the center of the crowd was Yu Ziqiang, who was stunned, sitting motionless on the threshold.

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to step forward and hid in the corner of the alley to peek.

"Poor master, didn't this Yu Ziqiang kill the eldest lady of the Li family, why was he released again?" An old man asked.

"Yes, the yamen didn't say that he didn't kill people now." The official replied vaguely.

"If he killed the man, why did he let him back?" A woman's eyes were terrified.

"Where are the many why? Adults say let it go, who dares to have two words? The servant glared.

"That, that, that......" the woman stammered, not daring to say anything.

"What's that?" The official shouted, "It's all gone, what's there to see!" ”

The crowd remained motionless and continued to point.

A murderer, who was arrested for only a day and then released, isn't it a tiger to return to the mountain?

Such a careless thing for people's lives can also be done by the yamen.

But the words of the officials are right in front of them, who dares to have different meanings?

Everyone was not convinced, and they did not dare to speak, only pointing.

"You look again, point again, and talk again to annoy him, he started to go crazy, started to move, injured who by mistake, killed who by mistake, don't say that my brothers didn't remind you!" An official had an idea, pointed at Yu Ziqiang and threatened everyone.

And so it worked, and everyone went back to their homes in fear and closed the door of their house tightly.

scared away the onlookers, several officials talked and laughed, and left together, Yu Ziqiang sat in a daze for a while, and walked into Yu's house with his head down.

Yu Xiaoying stood with her back against the wall for a while, making sure that there were no others near the Yu family, and also walked into the Yu family.

"Daddy." She called softly.

Looking back and seeing that it was Yu Xiaoying, Yu Ziqiang changed his previous attitude, his expression became flustered, and he hurriedly pushed her out, "Xiaoying, go quickly, go quickly, get out of here, go south, go east, in short, don't come back." ”

Yu Xiaoying pulled the threshold and asked, "Daddy, what's going on?" Yamen—Why did you let you go again? ”

Yu Ziqiang said, "I don't know, the yamen didn't say anything, only said to let me go home." Xiao Ying, I'm afraid that the county magistrate won't believe Daddy's words, and I found out that it is-"

Speaking of this, he didn't continue, but lowered his voice, "In short, you go, go quickly, go as far as possible!" ”

Yu Xiaoying just ran two steps, and when she thought of something, she stopped and cried, "Daddy, you treat Xiaoying too well, you gave birth to me and raised me, and now it's still ...... Xiaoying just left, I really couldn't bear it, why don't you wait for your father to drink a pot of wine for the last time? ”

Yu Ziqiang listened to his daughter's sadness, thought that this farewell was goodbye, and tearfully agreed.

Yu Xiaoying laid out the table and set up the dishes, turned around and went to the kitchen to get wine, and Yu Ziqiang waited.

******

"What is this trick of the adults? Or lure the snake out of the hole? Shen Yueran, who was witnessing a qiē on the roof, asked Wei Yi on the side softly.

"Definitely." Wei Yi replied, "Steal the beam and change the pillar." ”

"Stealing beams for pillars?" Shen Yueran was puzzled, "What Liang did you steal?" What columns to change? ”

Wei Yi stretched out an index finger and "shhh

******

Yu Xiaoying was ready, took a pot of wine, and walked slowly.

Yu Xiaoying drank wine cup after cup, Yu Ziqiang drank alone cup after cup, father and daughter didn't talk much, and the meal was unusually silent.

Seeing that the wine had passed three rounds, Yu Xiaoying spoke, "Daddy, don't worry about Xiaoying, you can go with confidence." ”

Yu Ziqiang thought that she was referring to the imprisonment, and sighed lightly, "Xiaoying, in the final analysis, it's all Daddy's fault, it's Daddy who didn't teach you well." When my father and daughter first entered Wenchi and worked in the inn together, when you cleaned the guest room, you accidentally found the Mei family's package hidden under the pillow, and saw the wealth uprising and stole it home. Instead of reprimanding you and telling you to go back, I, the father, have been deluded and have spent the money with you. You were only eight years old that year, and if your father had beaten you and scolded you that time, you would not have come to this day step by step. If the son doesn't teach, the father's fault is the father's fault, and the father didn't teach you well, and the father will never be able to protect you in the future. ”

Yu Ziqiang was sad.

Yu Xiaoying said with a smile, "Xiao Ying doesn't need her father's protection, Xiao Ying knows how not to be bullied in the future, that old girl is right, as long as you act carefully, don't let people grab the handle, you can be safe." ”

"Old girl?" Yu Ziqiang sighed again and again, "That girl is also a hard-working person, she is insulted by everyone outside, and her sister-in-law is not allowed at home, and her father really can't bear to let her be charged with murder again, so he made up his mind to show up in the pawnshop with jewelry." ”

Yu Xiaoying pouted, "Daddy is soft-hearted!" In fact, Xiao Ying had already planned to keep the old girl so wronged that she couldn't turn over, but who knew that her father wanted to jump out and admit this crime. ”

"You kid—" Yu Ziqiang pointed at her with trembling fingers.

"What's wrong with me?" Yu Xiaoying was dissatisfied, "Grandma Li deserves to die." She complained behind her back, just to make me ugly, just to make me beat. I just lied to her that the brocade silk fell into the well, and she really reached out to fish, half of her body hung on the side of the well, I didn't take the opportunity to push her, who did she push?

Li Xinyi should be damned. Look at me all day long, don't give me good food or give me good drink. I looked for an opportunity to buy shortbread and smear it with arsenic to kill her cat, who was screaming every day, but the cat had already been killed. I had an idea and wanted to put the arsenic on the shortbread on the old girl's head, so Li Xinyi chased all the way to the cake shop and beat and scolded me.

I went into Li's house from the dog hole late at night, and when she saw me, she thought I was here to confess my mistake to her. I was angry when I saw her waving her impatiens nails, why could she dress and eat well all day long, and marry into the Fang family?

I pretended to give it to her, and when she didn't spare charcoal, I plugged her mouth, took out a rope and strangled her tightly. I strangled it once, but she was still angry, so I strangled it again and again......

And the old girl. The night before, he said he wanted to protect me, but the next morning he disappeared, and the fat sister-in-law bullied me.

Daddy, they're all bad people, they all deserve to die! ”

Yu Xiaoying was full of hatred.

“……”

Yu Ziqiang looked at his daughter like a monster, his lips twitched, but he couldn't say a word.

Suddenly, he hid his face in the sky and cried bitterly, beating his chest, "My fault, my fault, it's all my fault......"
