"While we were confused, a man with a basket on his back, about fifteen or sixteen years old, came down from the hill and stood beside us for a while, and sneered at me, 'Do you have pig brains?' Why don't you go to the city to report the news? The banner says Save! Li Qingming said that he had to take the mountain road and bypass the people guarding the road below. The man said he could take me into the city. He was dressed ordinarily, he was an ordinary farmer, and when I asked him where he was, he said that he was from Baiyun Peak and came out early in the morning to find medicine. Seeing that he was still credible, and that Li Qingming and I had two people, I believed him to take a mountain road and climb Baiyun Peak into the city. On the way I asked him his name, but he wouldn't say. He took us to the Thousand Houses in the city, and then took our leave. I took the sign of Anping Mansion to ask to see Master Yang, the commander of the thousand soldiers, he happened to practice in the school martial arts field, and after seeing the sign of Anping Mansion, he came out to see me in person, I told the situation, he immediately ordered five hundred elite soldiers, and we rushed to come. ”

Rong'er smiled and bowed to Yang Qianfu, "Thank you, Lord Yang." ”

"The little ones don't dare to be." Yang Qianfu is forty years old, with a red face, her eyes are blazing, and she said with a smile: "Third Miss is fine." I don't know what's going on in the village? ”

Rong'er briefly explained the situation.

Yang Qianfu exclaimed, "So the Xue family is suspected of taking the heir?" Since the third lady is fine, I will leave some people here to guard, and the others will follow me to arrest Xue Changping! ”

"There's Captain Lao." Rong'er said gratefully.

"To use soldiers, you need to go through the county government first. But the situation is urgent, and these people can be called a rebellion. I led the troops to protect the side of Antai. There is an unshirkable responsibility for this incident. The little ones go and arrest the criminals first! Yang Qianfu left twenty people down and explained to a small leader, "Deputy General Huang, you will listen to the arrangement of the third lady here."

Deputy Huang has a total of thirty-five or sixteen, with a square face, and his actions are calm, and he bowed his hand to Rong'er, "I just listen to the orders of the third lady." ”

Yang Qianfu left with thirty other people.

Tao Ye said, "Please send some people to check the situation inside and outside." It's nice to have five or six people here. ”

"This is the guard cultivator, my father's chief bodyguard." Rong'er introduced.

The head of the guard entourage is not an official, just a seven-rank internal official, but following the personal followers of the Hou Ye, his identity is much more noble than that of a deputy general.

Deputy General Huang said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Tao Ye said to Rong'er: "There must have been a lot of deaths in the front hall. The third lady still stayed on the viewing platform first. ”

Rong'er reminded, "You first send someone to get medicine to treat Hu Zhuangtou and them." ”

"Rest assured. I will send men to heal them. ”

Rong'er and the others returned to the viewing platform.

Lang Wenqi and Ensheng sat on the stone bench exhausted.

"I'll go cut some tea for you." Yuxiang was not afraid at this time, and her face returned to normal.

"I'll go with you." Repeatedly.

"Sister. Yesterday I heard that you fell off the Devil's Cry Cliff, and I thought I would never see you again. At this time, Li Qingming took her sister's hand and wiped the corners of her eyes happily on the side.

"I'm not dead. I fell to the middle of the waist, and the ghost of the ghost crying cliff blew stuck me in a tree and was saved by Brother Tao. Originally, they wanted to bring me back at night, because as soon as I appeared, something big happened. So first took me to Baiyun Peak for a night's rest. The village that took me back in the morning. He's a god. If you brought me back last night, and Xue Changping and them made trouble last night, I'm afraid the matter of moving the rescue soldiers will not go so smoothly. Qingmei said happily, "Brother." I'll follow Miss Three in the future. You've seen Miss Three. ”

Li Qingming is medium-tall, his body is a little flat, he looks a little square and stunned, and he bows with a little stunned.

Yuqin smiled: "In the future, you can also go to Anping Mansion with us." There are still some small servants in the house. ”

Lang Wenqi smiled: "Qingming is actually quite smart. If you are willing to learn, you can also be a running man in the future. ”

Li Qingming's face flushed slightly, and he stood up and scratched his head on the side.

The autumn breeze sends the sunset, and the twilight is charming.

Rong'er looked around, and her heart was a little heavy.

Tao Ye came to report: "The front has been cleared out." Sixty villagers and twenty bandits were killed, thirty villagers and twenty-one bandits were wounded. Commander Yang returned from the north with many people. Lu Zhuangtou's family is dead, and Xue Changping's youngest daughter also died in the chaos. Yu Yan, who killed Qingmei, also died in it. ”

Rong'er and the others went down from the viewing platform and arrived at the front hall.

Captain Yang and Intoxicated walked in from outside, and Rong'er went out to greet them

"Third Miss. Xue Changping captured them all. Yang Qianfu arched his hand at her and got out of the way, "Xue Changping, they still have accomplices in the north, and they have the full help of the people of Annan Zhuang to capture them all." ”

"Interrogate Xue Changping immediately." Rong'er is afraid of long nights and dreams.

After the clean-up, the council still has a strong bloody atmosphere.

Bright lanterns were hung early in the vestibule.

Xue Changping was bound and knelt on the ground, and there were thirty-eight people in a dense crowd.

The Eight Immortals Table was set up on the steps, and Lang Wenqi and a military Chinese officer were in front of the Eight Immortals Table as a clerk, and Captain Yang Qian stood at the top, pointing at Xue Changping and asking, "Why don't you quickly recruit you before and after committing the crime?" ”

Xue Chang's plane was like ashes, he glanced at Rong'er above, his eyes rolled, he knew that he would die this time, his heart was lowered horizontally, and he bit his tongue fiercely, and suddenly blood gushed out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground and died on the spot.

"Xue Changping is dead." Intoxicated and annoyed, she touched his breath and was already out of breath.

"Suicide in fear of sin?" Yang Qianfu and Rong glanced at each other.

Obviously, there is a mastermind behind it, and for fear of implicating the people behind it, he didn't dare to confess the truth, so he chose to commit suicide.

Death is death, anyway, it is the people of the Xue family who make a big deal, even if the Xue family does not die, this time the Xue family will definitely not be able to stay in Anping Mansion anymore. Rong'er said calmly: "Retry other people!" ”

I don't believe that all these dozens of people will commit suicide.

"Boss Ma, Chen Fuyin...... It's in the village. Qingmei angrily pointed at the six people below on the side.

"Just judge these few in the village first!"

This time, the soldiers below were on guard against another suicide, and hundreds of soldiers came from the side and pressed their shoulders and backs.

"Boss Ma. Do you recruit or not? As Commander Yang asked, a soldier's whip hit the horse boss hard.

Boss Ma was covered in blood, looked up at Rong'er, and finally said, "Third Miss." It was we who were tempted by Xue Changping's interests. It's just that this matter really has nothing to do with the women, children and elderly people in the family. If I recruit it, can Miss Three let my women, children and elderly people live? ”

An Qing is really more important than asking for the lives of the old Ma family. Rong'er nodded: "You all listen." If the family is really not related to the case. I will repay my father, and the punishment will be clear. ”

"Miss Xie San, great grace." Boss Ma cried, "The little one will come back and forth." ”

"The year before last, Liu Lao Zhuangtou of Pingnanzhuang was seriously ill, and later changed to Lu Angui as the head of the village. Lu Angui's family came to Pingnanzhuang to work before the big year, and Liu Laozhuang took in a group of refugees who fled from other places in Jinnan County ten years ago, and we and Lu Angui's family were among them. Most of the villagers in Pingnanzhuang were people who were brought in more than 10 years ago. Originally, Anping Mansion did not set up Pingnanzhuang's running business, and the year before last, a new running affairs Xue Changping was set up to manage accounts and foreign affairs. My brothers and I often followed him into the city to deliver supplies. Last year, Xue Changping said that we work hard all year round, the income in hand is meager, it is not as good as a reasonable reward point, at first I don't know how he got it, every month to give us half a tael or a tael of silver, at first we were also afraid, and then he said that we were stupid, but the business of several shops in the city was better than in previous years, and the silver handed back to Anping Mansion was a little less, we were afraid of things, so we said that the master's money did not dare to be corrupt, he said that he had not paid less, and he paid more than in previous years, not just the surplus of the amount, slightly divided a little bit for everyone?

"If we don't want it, who thinks silver is useless? The guys in the city all secretly give out rewards. That's how we took the money. After the autumn harvest last year, Xue Changping suddenly let us transport a lot of grain out, which was several times the normal consumption of several shops in the city. We didn't feel at ease, so we couldn't help but ask if the shops in the city could use up so much food? Xue Changping bluntly told him that the surplus grain had been sold. We're afraid that the government will send someone down to check. Xue Changping said, rest assured, at least no one will come to the grange for at least three years, saying that the eldest prince followed the Hou Ye to learn the affairs of the court, and he was not free to come out, the second son was a playful person, and he would only look at the books, and there was a third lady who was majestic in the house on weekdays, and she was still young, and she was going to get married in two years. We said what should we do if the second master should come to investigate? He said it wasn't something we were worried about. At that time, there is a way to settle it. Everyone is gradually more comfortable, and it is difficult to stop if they are greedy, as long as no one comes down to investigate, everyone will fish in troubled waters. ”
