Chapter 73

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly went out of the house and looked towards the courtyard, only to see that in the courtyard, Li Gouzi's head was hanging to the side at a strange angle, and his body was leaning softly against the tree, obviously dead.

"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Wanbai asked the person who reported the news.

"This is He Laosan from Hejia Village, when I went to Hejia Village to deliver money to a family, I happened to be met by him, and he heard that we had caught the bandit leader, so he ran over like crazy.

When he entered, he didn't say anything, and a shovel slapped the robber's head, and that's it. The man explained, gasping for air.

"He Laosan of Hejia Village?" Lin Xing was taken aback, and then showed a look of understanding, seeing that Jiang Wanbai still didn't understand, he said, "Last time that robber came to threaten our family, he mentioned him.

The robber said, 'Don't think we're scaring you by saying this, He Laosan of Hejia Village, you know, he was also reluctant to take the silver, and what happened, his son was divided by us one by one, his head was left to him, and his body was fed to the wild dogs, and he died without even a whole corpse."

If you want your son to do the same, you can drag it out. When Lin Xing said this, he was both happy and sympathetic, if his Jinbao would also ...... He couldn't even imagine it.

"This group of beasts is innocent of death." Jiang Wanbai's teeth hurt with hatred, such a small life, how could they be so cruel.

"Dongsheng, do you see it? Daddy avenged you, Daddy avenged you. He Laosan heard the voice, but seemed to come back to his senses, as soon as his hand was released, the shovel fell to the ground, and then, he raised his hands, tilted his head, and shouted hoarsely to the sky while turning back and forth like crazy.

Everyone present was silent, and everyone didn't know how to persuade him.

"Revenge, revenge......" He Laosan spun around, not knowing if it was dizziness or what's going on, his body began to sway.

After shaking for a while, suddenly, he looked towards a clearing, "Dongsheng, you are finally willing to see your father."

Dad knows it's wrong, Dad regrets it, don't you want to eat mung bean cake? Here, Dad bought you mung bean cake, you eat it quickly, it's still hot. He Laosan's face was happy, as if his son was really in that place not far from him.

As he spoke, he still swayed and reached out to touch it in his arms, and after a while, he took out a bulging handkerchief, opened the handkerchief, and inside was a few pieces of pressed pink mung bean cake.

He reached out to pinch the mung bean cake and wanted to hand it to his son, but his head was dizzy, and the mung bean cake was shattered, so he pinched it somewhere.

Pale green mung bean cake powder fell from his fingers to the ground like a drizzle.

He Laosan was about to go crazy, and while pinching the mung bean cake more carefully, he comforted his son who only he could see, "Dongsheng, don't worry, Dad will give it to you, this will be for you." ”

The more anxious it is, the easier it is to make a mess, He Laosan didn't know how, he tore over the handkerchief, and the mung bean cake fell like green snow and fell to the ground.

At this time, He Laosan was stupid, and quickly squatted down and grabbed those mung bean cakes with his two big hands, wanting to grab those mung bean cakes.

However, where can they still be arrested?

Everyone watched, and they didn't know how to do it, sue sΓΉ He Laosan that his son is dead, or sue sΓΉ that he can't pick up the mung bean cake?

Just when everyone was at a loss, a few people suddenly came in outside the door, the leader of which was an old man, he was also very sad when he saw He Laosan's appearance, but he still spoke firmly, "The third child, Dongsheng has gone, you just let him go quietly!" ”

He Laosan seemed to be suddenly awakened from a dream, his body stiffened, and after a while, he sat on the ground and muttered: "Go, go......"

The old man sighed and stretched out his hand to help He Laosan, but at this moment, He Laosan suddenly jumped up, laughing, and said, "Dongsheng is dead, I don't have a son, haha...... I don't have a son anymore. As if he had gone mad, he ran out of the yard singing and dancing.

"Quick, stop him and send him home." The old man asked the people behind him to chase He Laosan, and he himself came to everyone, "I am the village chief of Hejia Village, and I am also the patriarch of Hejia, just now, it really made you laugh." ”

Among Jiang Wanbai's people, Jiang Wanbai was the largest, so she immediately replied: "How come, it's just that I think this robber is too hateful." ”

The old man sighed, "The old man was in his thirties before he had such a child in winter, and the baby is the same as the root of life."

That day, because Dongsheng wanted to eat mung bean cake, the third child didn't buy it for him, so he ran out, and the result was that the third child regretted not being at the beginning! The old man deliberately told the truth of the matter.

Jiang Wanbai listened, and didn't know what to say, persuade? This kind of pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, where can words persuade and scold? What's the use of scolding, people can't be resurrected after death.

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Wanbai as if carelessly, and then continued: "Although this robber is hateful, but the third child has ruined his life, this ......" As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Wanbai.

Jiang Wanbai suddenly understood what the old man meant, "He deserves it!" At the same time, she also understood the meaning of what the old man just said about He Laosan and his son, he was playing the emotional card, making everyone sympathize with He Laosan.

Jiang is really old and spicy, this old man's mind is very thoughtful, but in fact, even if the old man doesn't say that, Jiang Wanbai won't care about the life or death of the robber, so she won't say anything about this matter.

Jiang Wanbai's attitude was clear, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief and looked to the side again.

"I wish he had died, but unfortunately he died too easily." Lin Xing gritted his teeth.

"It's better to die than to be innocent." Tang Shaozheng said these four words coldly, indicating his position.

Immediately, the others also expressed their attitudes, which made the old man overjoyed, and he hugged his fists, and said: "Thank you, I thank you for the third child."

It's not early, so we'll go back, and the corpse, we'll dispose of it by the way, and save everyone trouble when the time comes. ”

Jiang Wanbai knew that this old man did this, firstly, he wanted to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, and secondly, he was afraid that if the government asked, everyone would take responsibility, and he would also think about it very thoroughly, so he nodded and agreed.

The old man thanked everyone again, and then hurried away with Li Gouzi's body and He Laosan.

When they left, Jiang Wanbai also said goodbye to Lin Xing, Lin Xing reluctantly sent them to the door, and asked them to promise to come over to drink in two days, and everyone was separated.

On the way home, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight fell on the ground like mercury, making the night brighter.

Jiang Wanbai sat on the ox cart, Tang Shaozheng rode a horse and walked on the side, Tian Lao Er drove the car, Tian Lao Si followed aside, everyone walked slowly and quietly, and the insects on the side of the road were very lively.

"Are you really going to come home with me?" Jiang Wanbai didn't want to think about those robbers anymore, so she turned her head and asked Tang Shaozheng on the side.

"Of course, otherwise those two robbers are coming, and you will not be in danger." What Tang Shaozheng said is right.

Jiang Wanbai felt that those two robbers would not necessarily come to her, they were all rabble, and now that they were caught and killed, it was estimated that they would not have the courage to come back at all.

However, nothing can be said absolutely, if they do come...... Thinking of He Laosan, Jiang Wanbai felt that maybe Tang Shaozheng came to live at home, and it was not no good at all.

Without continuing the topic, Jiang Wanbai said: "Why do you hate robbers so much, when you see them, it's like seeing an enemy." ”

Tang Shaozheng didn't speak, but turned his head to look ahead, looking at the boundless distance.

After Jiang Wanbai asked this sentence, she realized that she might have said the wrong thing, Tang Shaozheng's hatred for robbers, just like the hatred of the third child for robbers, can only be had after the pain of the bones.

And when she asked Tang Shaozheng like this, wasn't she revealing other people's scars.

Turning her head a little embarrassed, Jiang Wanbai stopped talking.

And at this moment, Tang Shaozheng's distant voice sounded, "Isn't it the enemy, my wife and my children all died at the hands of robbers, but at that time, Hongan was less than two years old."

Then I swore that the robbers I met in this life would send them to hell. ”

In the end, Tang Shaozheng is not only resentful, but also a little sad, today's He Laosan is the same as he was at the beginning, but He Laosan still has patriarchs and relatives to come out, but he has always been alone, "In this world, I have no relatives." Tang Shaozheng didn't know why, he said this.

Hong'an, it should be Tang Shaozheng's child, Jiang Wanbai was stunned, "No relatives?" Don't you still have ......" Jiang Wanbai wanted to say that Tang Shaozheng still had parents and brothers, but was interrupted by Tang Shaozheng.

"They are not my relatives, in this world, I hate robbers first, and the second hates them, if they don't see death and don't save them, how can my wife and my children ......" Speaking of this, Tang Shaozheng stood with his eyebrows and eyes, looking like he wanted to choose someone and devour.

The hurt from a loved one is far more painful than the one from a stranger.

It turned out that this was the case, Jiang Wanbai finally knew why Tang Shaozheng was separated from his family, and why he was still alone until now, so it seems that he is also a bitter person, but he has a little sympathy with Tian Yinfeng.

Perhaps, it is also a good choice for these two people to be together, comfort each other and rely on each other, Jiang Wanbai flashed this thought in her mind, but soon, she was thrown aside, she is not an evil woman in an arranged marriage, let them solve the matter of the two of them by themselves.

Knowing that Tang Shaozheng was in a bad mood, Jiang Wanbai didn't speak again.

It was nearly midnight before a few people arrived home, but none of the people in the Tian family fell asleep, and they all greeted them as soon as Jiang Wanbai and them came back, and asked them with concern if they were okay, which made people feel extremely warm, this is family.

Jiang Wanbai briefly talked about what happened today, and finally, naturally mentioned that Tang Shaozheng wanted to live here for the time being.

For this matter, everyone in the Tian family had different reactions, but most of them welcomed it, except for Tian Yinfeng.

Tian Yinfeng always felt that this matter was not as simple as Jiang Wanbai said, and it was likely to be ...... with her But Tang Shaozheng didn't say it, and she was naturally not easy to say as a woman, so she could only stand aside silently and make up her mind to avoid Tang Shaozheng.

Tang Shaozheng didn't look at Tian Yinfeng from beginning to end, as if he didn't care about Tian Yinfeng at all, he just came here to catch robbers as he said, but only he knew what he thought in his heart.

No matter what these people are thinking, it's not early in the day, everyone can only go to bed first, and if there is anything, we will see you tomorrow.

The next day, before dawn, the Tian family ushered in an unexpected guest, Zhong Laohan came to return Jiang Wanbai's silver with a smile on his face, and thanked Jiang Wanbai for saving his grandson.

According to their meaning, the cow was priced at ten taels, and Jiang Wanbai gave Zhong Laohan twenty taels of silver at that time, that is, Zhong Laohan should have repaid Jiang Wanbai ten taels of silver, but Zhong Laohan had to give Jiang Wanbai eleven taels, saying that he had said at that time that if anyone could lend him money, the cow would be worth nine taels.

The two of them pushed each other for a long time, and in the end, Jiang Wanbai still gave the two pieces of silver to Zhong Laohan, his original cow's bezoar saved Tian Yinfeng, and now Jiang Wanbai saved his grandson, the two families no longer owe each other, and now the cow's money is just according to the normal price.

Zhong Laohan didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly handed the two chickens in his hand to Jiang Wanbai, "There are no good things, you must accept them." ”

At this time, it would not be good to shirk again, Jiang Wanbai accepted the two chickens, and left Zhong Laohan to eat here.

Zhong Laohan said that now that his grandson is back, he wants to accompany him well, and he has to return all the borrowed silver to others, as well as the land that has been sold, and he has to buy it back, etc., the family is too busy, I am afraid that he can't stay here for a long time.

Jiang Wanbai heard him mention the silver, but she thought of the question of that day, so she asked: "I bought your cow that day, didn't you already raise enough silver, how can you ......?"

"Hey!" Zhong Laohan sighed, "I took the silver that day, I thought it was all done, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got home, my son told my gang of robbers that they were here again, saying that one hundred taels is too cheap for us, and it takes two hundred taels to release people, otherwise we will have to tear up the ticket."

My heart was cold at that time, two hundred taels, even if I smashed the pot and sold iron, I couldn't make it up, but I couldn't help it, I couldn't watch my grandson die, so I could only run around to raise money.

As a result, before the silver was raised, you rescued my grandson, this kindness, I ......" said Zhong Laohan and knelt down.

Jiang Wanbai naturally couldn't let him kneel, so he quickly helped him up, and told Zhong Laohan about yesterday's events, Zhong Laohan sighed for a long time, and then said goodbye and left.

Today is destined to be a good day, as soon as Zhong Laohan left on the front foot, Tian Liangzheng came, bringing good news to Jiang Wanbai and them.

Tian Miao stayed in a village in the Zhongyong Marquis's house, although the errand was not very decent, just a horse feeder and a horse brusher, but this is not an errand to make money, and if it is done well, it can increase the monthly money in the future.

Feeding horses, brushing horses? Jiang Wanbai was not as happy as others, she was a little worried, Tian Miao, a little girl, did she do this! However, everyone was on the rise, and she didn't want to show anything, so she followed everyone's wishes and asked about what happened.

Tian Liangzheng didn't notice Jiang Wanbai's abnormality, and happily talked about what happened, speaking of which, this matter is really tortuous.

It turned out that after Tian Liangzheng sent Tian Min and Tian Miao to Wang Bao, Wang Bao immediately took two of them to see Steward Li. Steward Li was a little embarrassed about this matter, when he promised Wang Bao to arrange people, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was still in full swing, and now it is ......

But after what happened last time, Steward Li was very grateful to Wang Bao and said that he tried to think of a way.

The next day, Steward Li said that the matter was done, but only one person could be arranged, and the lady had to look at it.

Now, Wang Bao is a little embarrassed, he can only go to one, who is better to let this go? In fact, judging from the effect, if Tian Min is allowed to go, the certainty of success should be greater, but by doing so, she is a little sorry for Jiang Wanbai, she helped him a lot last time.

Just when Wang Bao hesitated, Tian Miao chose to take the initiative to quit, she wanted to make money very much, but she didn't want to rob other people's opportunities, and after she looked at the Hou Mansion, she knew the gap between her and the maid of the Hou Mansion.

If Tian Min goes, maybe there will be a chance to stay, and if she goes, it will be purely a blind man lighting a lamp in vain.

Wang Bao was naturally embarrassed, and persuaded Tian Miao on the side, but he didn't know how, so he mentioned Jiang Wanbai.

Next to him, when Steward Li heard this, he immediately asked Tian Miao, is she Jiang Wanbai's granddaughter?

Tian Miao was taken aback when Steward Li asked, but she still straightened her chest and told Steward Li loudly that her grandmother was Jiang Wanbai, and her little face was full of pride.

Steward Li has a deeper level of planning for Jiang Wanbai in addition to his gratitude for the incident last time, but he knows some things about Ouyang Jun and Jiang Wanbai, so he immediately decided to help Tian Miao.

However, he also knew that entering the Hou Mansion in the appearance of Tian Miao would be incomparable to ascending to the sky, but the solution is always thought of by people, and there is no shortage of people in the mansion, but there are still many Zhuangzi in the Hou Mansion, so Tian Miao can go there.

Tian Miao was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, took the letter from Steward Li, followed Tian Liangzheng, and the two went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.

A good general, there are two things that are the most important, one is a horse, the other is a weapon, and this Zhuangzi is specially used to raise horses in the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, and the horses in this are Dawan horses bought from the Western Regions, as well as the imperial horses rewarded by the emperor, as well as various famous horses collected by Ouyang Zhen from all over the country, which can be said to have everything.

Steward Nie of Zhuangzi read Steward Li's letter, and he was a little worried, this Zhuangzi is full of horses and men, and this little girl is really not easy to arrange.

In the end, he asked Tian Miaoer if she wanted to follow Aunt Li, who was in charge of sewing, or Aunt Zhang, who was in charge of cooking.

Tian Miao'er's eyes, since entering this Zhuangzi, have never left those horses, she thinks these horses are really beautiful, just like the elves in this world, free and arrogant, so she tentatively asked Nie Steward if she could take care of these horses.

Steward Nie was a little surprised, which little girl didn't like easy and decent work, why would Tian Miao want to feed the horses! So he said that ordinary people can't do this, they need to be patient, careful, and not afraid of hardship and tiredness.

Tian Miao suddenly became firm, saying that she could try for two days, and if Steward Nie was not satisfied, she would leave immediately, and she would never entangle.

Steward Nie saw that Tian Miao was hard-hearted, and he could only let her try it because of Steward Li's face, but he specially told the master who taught Tian Miao to be careful and not to make any trouble.

The next day, as soon as Steward Nie got out of bed, the master who taught Tian Miao came, but to his surprise, the master did not want to tell Tian Miao about the situation, but said that he was optimistic about Tian Miao, saying that she was born to deal with horses.

Steward Nie was a little unconvinced, but when he went to the stable, he found that even the most irascible Qiu Longju had let Tian Miao approach, but he had to believe his master's words.

Horses are smarter than people, and they know who likes them and who treats them well.

"Tian Miao asked me to sue you, she is very good, she likes this job very much, let you not worry about her, she will definitely come back to see you when she has time." Tian Liangzheng finally said.
