Chapter 181: Blackmail (1)

Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Siye's group of dart masters and the Shen family, riding horses and carriages, formed a long convoy, left Anping Town, and rushed towards Lin'an County.

The Cen family also returned to the Cen house from the Shen house, and when Yumo, Chang Yan, Yang Peng, Ning Laoqi and Cen Dalang inspected the courtyard in the morning, they found two rough envoys dead in the firewood room.

Cen Dalang asked Yumo and Ning Laoqi to carry the corpses to the small kitchen, and after some simple arrangement, they lit a fire to their corpses.

In order to avoid causing more right and wrong, he claimed that when the two mothers-in-law were cooking in the kitchen, many of their hearts were knocked down by the beams falling from the kitchen, and accidentally overturned the oil drum, causing a fire and burning themselves to death in the kitchen.

Nearby villagers saw smoke rising from Cen's house and ran to the Zhenxi Ya Office where Weizhi County was sitting to report the case. Wei Zhong, who was still waiting for the official document of promotion at home, heard that the Cen family was on fire, and brought several officials over with great interest to find out.

The Cen family insisted that the two mothers-in-law accidentally caused the fire, and said that fortunately, the small kitchen was a newly built house later, independent of the other houses in Cen House. They discovered the fire in time and extinguished it before it caused a bigger fire.

Wei Zhong took people to check the scene of the fire, and did not see anything suspicious, because the two mothers-in-law were indeed hit on the head by the falling beam, and the corpses were also burned in a mess, and the death was extremely terrifying. Wei Zhong and the servants only glanced at each other twice, and almost didn't spit out the overnight meal, and finally closed the case by accident.

Wei Zhong didn't see it as a good show, he was still disgusted by the corpses of the two mothers-in-law, he couldn't get angry, and for the crime of destroying the house, he fined the Cen family fifty taels of silver, gave himself two jars of wine, and went away with a few officials.

The two rough mothers-in-law both signed a three-year living contract with the Cen family, and when they died, they should have let their families collect their bodies for them.

Although Cen Dalang was in a hurry, he arranged a fire scene to deceive Wei Zhong and did not cause more trouble. But the two mothers-in-law also suffered unjustified disasters, and Second Master Cen and he had the heart to compensate their families.

In the past few days, Yumo finally used a carriage to transport the sons of the two mothers-in-law from the countryside to Cen's house. The sons of the two mothers-in-law thought that their masters would blame them. asked them to compensate for the loss, and brought the silver at the bottom of the box to the Cen family.

As a result, not only did they lose no money, but each family also received twenty taels of silver.

The two big men cried and laughed, kowtowed to Cen Erye and Cen Dalang more than a dozen times, and said countless words of gratitude. took his mother, who was burned beyond recognition, and returned to his hometown for burial.

As soon as Yumo, Chang Yan, and Peony sent away the two families, they saw Lu Mingsi and his party escorting Cen Erniang back from the other side of the alley.

"It's Ershao who is back!" Peony and Chang Yan jumped up and screamed, screaming with joy. The two decisively threw off Yumo and ran to Cen Erniang, "Er Shao!" You're finally back! We miss you so much! ”

Cen Erniang got off the horse in a dashing manner, threw the rope to Chang Yan who stretched out his hands, touched the heads of Peony and Chang Yan with one hand, and said, "I miss you a lot." Chang Yan. You will lead the horses to the stables for me. Peony, you lead the way for Brother Lu and them, and welcome them to the open space outside to unload the goods. ”

"Brother Lu, you go with the peony." Cen Erniang turned her head sideways and said to Lu Mingsi: "I'll go to meet my family first, and then I'll count the goods later." ”

After speaking, she strode towards Yumo, who was standing at the gate, smiling at her and walking, and said as she walked: "Yumo!" You go to the kitchen and ask the cook to make some snacks and send them to the outside room for Brother Lu and them to enjoy. Prepare some warm tea. ”

"Okay, Ershao. I'll go. After Yumo smiled and greeted Cen Erniang, she turned around and trotted to the small kitchen.

A few days ago, the cook of the Cen family gave birth to a big fat grandson because her daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat grandson, and she terminated the contract with the Cen family and returned to her hometown to bring her grandson.

In the past ten days, the Cen family's meals. It was all done by the two rough women who died. At this time, both of them died, and the responsibility of cooking fell on the two cooks left behind by the Shen family.

After Yumo instructed the two cooks to prepare snacks quickly, he made a few pots of hot tea and carried them to the outside room to entertain the guests.

Cen Erniang rushed to the main room to greet her parents before walking to the small garden. Seeing Ning Laoqi and Yang Peng arguing, she wiped her eyes and exclaimed, "Isn't this Brother Ning Qi?!" So you're not dead! How did you end up here? ”

"I've seen Ershao." Ning Laoqi smiled and said: "I had a good life that day, I fell off the cliff and was rescued, and I escaped by luck." After recuperating from her injuries, she went home to serve her mother for a while, settled her well, and then came to Anping Town with the fifth master to repay her kindness. ”

"Now I am the Cen family's nursing home, and I will be in the Cen family for the next ten years. I haven't seen you for a long time, Ershao, you have raised a section very much! has grown into a graceful and beautiful son, and he doesn't look like the pretty little girl he used to be. Ha ha! ”

Obviously, Ning Laoqi had heard the rumors about her true identity released by Master Bu Operator, and believed it to be true, and made fun of her with it.

Cen Erniang floated a few black lines on her forehead, and she didn't go to talk to Ning Laoqi about whether she was a man or a woman, and changed the topic and asked him: "Why didn't I hear you talk about your gentle and virtuous fiancΓ©e Xiaoliu?" ”

"She......" Ning Laoqi's expression suddenly became lonely, "She married Zhao Heimian." When I recovered from my injuries and went back to her, she was pregnant with Zhao Heimian's child. ”

"This ......" Cen Erniang blinked, hugged her fists and apologized to Ning Laoqi: "I'm sorry, Brother Ning Qi." I shouldn't have brought this up. ”

"It's fine." Ning Laoqi waved his hand freely: "If you miss a good man like me, marrying that treacherous villain of Zhao Heimian is blind." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Peng asked curiously.

"Oh, that's a long story, I'll tell you about it later." Ning Laoqi stretched out his hand and flicked Yang Peng's head, "Why don't you have such a big interest in practicing martial arts!" ”

He said to Cen Erniang: "Second Shao, go to the living room to see the old lady." They don't know you've returned. In the past few days, the old lady has been talking about you, and she is very worried and worried about you. ”

"Then I'll go see my father and mother first." Cen Erniang saw that Ning Laoqi's expression was depressed for a moment, and her face was free and easy, knowing that he no longer minded Xiaoliu's affairs. She squeezed her eyes gossip and said to him: "Brother Ning Qi, when you tell Yang Peng about the past in the future, you must call me." ”

"Okay!" Ning Laoqi nodded. Then continue to teach Yang Peng to practice martial arts.

Cen Erniang had a good time with her parents in the living room, and her eyebrows fluttered to talk about her harvest in the mountains and the interesting stories when they collected medicine. Of course, she skipped those thrilling and arduous processes. made Second Master Cen and Lin laugh.

Suddenly, Yumo ran in with a piece of letter paper and a panicked expression, "It's a big deal!" The master, the wife, the second young man, the eldest young and the third young were taken away! The kidnappers asked a little beggar to deliver a letter. There are also jade pendants on the big and third young people. It is said that we should prepare 5,000 taels of ransom within ten days, otherwise we will kill the eldest and third young people. (To be continued.) )
