Chapter Twenty-Four: It's Big
"What's wrong?" Ai Yan heard that Aimo suddenly lost his voice, and he also looked out.
Oh no, the carriage was stopped!
I saw five or six big men riding horses in front of the carriage and blocking the road, although they were all masked, they could still see the leader of the person, and a scar ran through his eyebrows, which was very scary. At this time, the man was staring at her with a fierce look.
Ai Yan was so frightened that he pulled Ai Mo back, quickly lowered the curtain, turned his head and whispered to Xie Anyi: "Girl, be careful not to be looked at." There is Mother Wang in this matter, and it is difficult for us to come forward. ”
As Ai Yan said, when Wang's mother saw that the carriage suddenly stopped, she sent Hongju to see what was going on, and after Hongju came back to say goodbye, she hurriedly got out of the car, called the accompanying steward, and came to Xie Anyi's carriage.
The steward must have never seen anything in the world, and when he saw a few people, his legs were already shaking in his trousers, but he could only ask boldly: "I don't know why you heroes stopped my carriage?" ”
Scarface didn't speak, but another tall and thin man next to him spoke: "What's the matter?" Hum! The brothers came out once, of course, to bring something back! ”
"Yes, yes, the small one has a little silver, you guys laugh and accept it, just pay tribute to the little ones and buy wine and drink." The steward breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said with a smile on his face.
"It's pretty much the same, send it over." Said the tall and thin man.
The steward hesitated, but took out a purse from his bosom, slowly walked a few steps in front of the tall and thin man, threw the purse to the tall and thin man, turned around and ran back.
The thin and tall man took the purse, put a cushion, scolded his mother, and said, "Ge Laozi, you fool the ghost." This bit of silver is not enough for a few brothers to stuff their teeth! I think I'll just detain the car and leave it for the brothers to take home! ”
After speaking, the others answered and were about to act.
"Wait." A voice came out, but it was Wang's mother, who had been silent on the side, who opened her mouth.
Scarface raised his hand, stopping the others from moving further.
I heard Wang's mother say: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the carriage of the Xie family in Weicheng, and you also know that although the three masters of my family are all officialdom, they have always been honest. Especially the eldest master, although he is already a high-ranking person, he is honest and honest, and his life is very simple. My master only went to Jing'an Temple to burn incense this time, and did not bring some yellow and white things. However, the coffin of the old slave has always been carried on his body, which is dedicated to all the strong men and heroes, and I only ask the strong men to allow us to pass guò. If the strong man still feels that it is not enough, he may wish to leave his name, and the old slave will report to the master after he returns, and he will send the gift to the house. ”
Mother Wang's words were very wonderful, and the coercion and temptation were all contained in it, and the scarface thought about it for a while, and said: "Forget it, the brothers come out to eat together, and the right to see how much your coffin has." ”
Mother Wang gave Hongju a look, Hongju returned to the carriage, and after a while, she walked out with a wooden box and handed it to the steward.
The steward took the wooden box tremblingly, and slowly walked up to the tall and thin man and handed it to him, and ran back.
The tall and thin man opened the wooden box, saw that there was a stack of silver tickets inside, roughly estimated it, and nodded at Scarface. Scarface asked him to put away the wooden box and said, "Okay, today it's for the sake of Lord Xie's face, don't worry about you, let's go." ”
Xie An also listened to it in the car, thinking that these silver could satisfy Cheng Wu, it seemed that there were really a lot of them, and he didn't know where they came from.
Here, Wang's mother and the steward were secretly relieved. Mother Wang turned around and ordered the handlebar to prepare for departure, and suddenly, the tall and thin man waved a long whip and came straight to the door of the manager.
The steward was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground, but he just dodged the blow. And the handlebar style of the carriage that Xie Anyi was riding next to him was not so lucky. The tail of the whip is swept right up to the handlebar, and this whip is not an ordinary horsewhip, but is made of iron, and the tail still has barbs left, and it is pulled off the carriage by hooking the shoulders of the handlebar.
The handlebar type was about to drive, who wanted to fly into trouble, screamed and fell next to the horse's hooves. He still had the reins wrapped around his hand, and somehow hurt the horse, which raised its front hooves and neighed at the sky, and rushed out. The other horse, apparently frightened, also rushed out. The two horses dragged the carriage and galloped away, and in the blink of an eye they were several feet away.
"Quick! The girl is still in the carriage! I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and people reacted and hurriedly chased after them.
How can a man chase a horse, let alone a frightened horse! The crowd followed the horse for a while, and the farther and farther they could see the dust raised behind the carriage.
The boys ran a little faster, and with sharp eyes they recognized the handlebar style on the ground that was dying and covered in blood. Fortunately, the reins were worn off, and he was able to save his life.
But no one bothered to look at the handlebars, and everyone continued to chase after the marks left by the carriage, and after running for half a pillar of incense, someone found that the carriage by the big tree on the side of the road had turned to the ground, and the girder of the carriage had been broken, and the wheels were rolling to the ground, surrounded by broken wood, and the two horses had long since disappeared. Fortunately, the carriage did not collapse completely, and was barely supported by wooden shelves.
"Come on, over here." The first to see hurriedly beckoned to the people behind, and everyone quickly ran to the carriage and surrounded the car, but no one dared to come forward to save people.
This dynasty still attaches more importance to the defense of men and women, and most women use veils to cover their faces when they go out. Now there are all women in this car, and there is a young lady, and they are all low-status little guys, how can they go to see the young lady? After they saved the young lady in a terrible way, in order to keep the young lady's innocence, they were gouged out by the master and cut off their hands.
Of course, there are also those who can't see the situation clearly, and want to take the opportunity to eat swan meat, and they are hesitating to step forward, but they are stopped by Wang's mother who arrived later.
Mother Wang asked the little servants to step back and take the white lotus forward to check. Fortunately, they didn't fall out of the carriage, Bai Lian reached out and lifted the curtain, and saw Xie An also holding the pillow and falling in the innermost, his head covered in blood. Aimo Aiyan was still protecting her, fainting next to her, also covered with blood, bright red.
"Quick, get the carriage in the back! Find the mother-in-law, carry the girl into the car, and hurry back to the house! Mother Wang hurriedly ordered, and called the little maid who had just run in front, "You, if you know how to ride a horse, quickly unload a horse, and quickly tell the old lady about it." ”
Just as everyone was in a mess, Xie An also woke up leisurely, her head hurt, her eyelids were heavy, and she felt in a daze that someone had lifted her into the carriage. Just before her consciousness disappeared, she scolded in her heart: "Grandma, it's a big game now!" ”
