Chapter 547: Mother and Daughter Reunited (2)
Chang Rong chased to the top of the lobby noisily, and was stopped by Lord Chen, and as soon as he was shocked, the officials shouted "mighty". Lord Chen lowered his face and asked: 'Who dares to disturb the trial of this main hall, come here, fork it down for me!' That Changrong really had a rely, knelt down and kowtowed to Lord Chen, and said, "The little one doesn't dare to disturb the adult's promotion to handle the case, he is looking for the butcher's daughter." The butcher sold his stepdaughter to the little one twenty taels of silver to pay off the debt, and the little one searched for many days to find the little girl. Since ancient times, it has been about killing people to pay for their lives and paying debts. The little girl's Lao Tzu couldn't afford to pay off her gambling debts, and if she sold her to pay off the debts, she should naturally follow the little one. No one else can interfere with what the little one does with her.
Master Chen said: "What you said is right, but you said that the Kong butcher owes you gambling debts, do you have any evidence?" Present. ”
"Master, that's an IOU, how can you take the small one with you casually? If you lose it and are picked up by others, won't you be cheaper for others? At home. I'll go back and get you the little ones. ”
"Your name is Xu Changrong, right? Mr. Xu, the official is handling the case, and the top attaches great importance to this case, it is an important case, and the case is solved within a time limit, and he is in a hurry. Otherwise, you wait a few more days and wait for the case to be closed, and the official will treat your gambling debt as a case. If it is true that the butcher owes you gambling debts, the official will order him to return the money owed to you in the name of the government. But you can't take the little girl away, the official will detain her in the county office, wait for you to bring the IOU, and wait for the Kong butcher to admit that he borrowed your money before he can return the little girl to you. ”
"'So, can an adult pay back a gambling debt for a small one?' Thank you for the little ones! So Evergreen went back and waited. ”
When the adult returned to the backyard of the county government, he called Yu'er to inquire about the situation, and Yu'er told Mr. Chen what happened to his mother and daughter. Lord Chen believed Yu'er's words very much, so he transferred Yu'er to a relative living in the capital that night, and asked my girl, who is now the master of Yun, to accompany Yu'er. I'm afraid that Yu'er doesn't know the people of his relatives' family, and if he can't think of running away again, it will be over if he falls into Changrong's hands. ”
A few days later, Evergreen came to Lord Chen again, and Lord Chen did a lot of things in the past few days, investigated the situation of the butcher's debts, investigated the situation of the butcher and Evergreen, and decided not to return the fish to them, if the fish were handed over to them, this life would be ruined. Evergreen really regarded Lord Chen as his backstage, how did he know that Lord Chen didn't want to return the fish to him at all. During this period, the butcher was also called by the adults to the county government for questioning, asking him how much silver he owed Changrong. The butcher said that it was one hundred and twenty taels, with interest. I don't know how to calculate the interest, in less than two years, one hundred and twenty taels became five hundred taels, and it is not enough to sell women, children, and iron. ”
"The butcher said that he would not sell the child, and that there was a lot of work for her to do at home. Master Chen slapped the table at that time and said, "Your woman and stepdaughter were abused, beaten and scolded by you, and finally sold to Xu Changrong by you, you have already got other people's money, and your daughter has nothing to do with you anymore."
The butcher admitted that he had sold his stepdaughter to Evergreen, and what the butcher gave to Evergreen was only an IOU, not silver, which was originally false, and he needed so much interest, so he regretted not admitting that he had borrowed Evergreen's silver, saying that the IOU was written by Evergreen himself. Master Chen summoned Evergreen to the lobby, and brought a few gangsters to testify that it was true that the butcher owed Evergreen gambling debts, and it stands to reason that gambling debts cannot be relied upon. The butcher denied it in every possible way, and Evergreen was of course very angry. When the butcher just returned home, Evergreen came and said that gambling debts are also debts, and he didn't want the little girl, so he asked the butcher to give him cash. The butcher said that there was no money, and so the conflict began. Changrong saw that the butcher's eyes were red and swollen, and it was not convenient to see people, so he took the three scoundrels who came with him to rummage around the butcher's house, saying that the butcher had hidden the silver and smashed all the altars and jars in the house, which annoyed the butcher, and he picked up the pig-killing knife and cut it indiscriminately. If it weren't for his eyes not being able to see clearly, he might have killed the few people who went there. In this way, one was hacked to death and two were wounded on the spot. ”
"If someone dies, of course the butcher will be arrested and put in the county jail. Because he was a death row prisoner, when he entered the prison, he put on shackles and waited to be beheaded. Chang Rong turned around and asked Lord Chen for the fish, saying that if he wanted to sell the fish in the kiln, he would be able to sell it for twenty taels, and Lord Chen said, if someone else wants to give you twenty taels, will you sell it? Evergreen said, "Whoever gives me twenty taels will sell it to whomever I want." It's Lord Chen, you want to buy this girl, and the small one is also at this price, and you won't let the adult have a penny. ”
"Lord Chen said, then you bring the IOU of the Kong butcher, let's write the sales contract in front of the gong, I will give you twenty taels of silver, and you give me the IOU. Then write the sales contract, and the little girl will go to the relatives of the lord. ”
Evergreen wished he could sell the fish for money as soon as possible, and he also owed gambling debts to others and was chased everywhere for money. Just because he couldn't pay off his gambling debts, he blackmailed the butcher with 500 taels, and he also knew that the butcher didn't have 500 taels, and the IOU that the butcher gave him was 20 taels, and even 120 taels was false. Evergreen was afraid that Lord Chen's words would not count. So when I went back, I brought the IOU, and I really sold the fish to Lord Chen in front of the gong. Of course, it was not any relative of Lord Chen, but Lord Chen and his wife took pity on Yu'er and wanted to keep Yu'er by their side and give their daughter as companions. ”
Changrong felt that his affairs were particularly face-saving, Lord Chen was the parent official of a county, and he actually obeyed his words, and gave twenty taels if he wanted twenty taels, so he got a fake contract to sell fish and took it to the prison to show off to the Kong butcher. Angry with him, sarcastic at him. said that he was not qualified to be a father, and even his stepdaughter wanted to spoil it, and he was a brute. The butcher said that his eyes were not good at seeing clearly, so Evergreen came to the prison fence with the contract and showed it to the butcher. His head was suddenly caught in the chain that locked the butcher, and he was strangled to death. The Kong butcher, who killed two lives in a row, was beheaded in advance, because this person didn't even have the most basic human flavor. The butcher died, her mother disappeared, and Yu'er became the maid of Lord Chen's only daughter. ”
Yu'er's words are here for the time being, which is about the day after the day he separated from his mother. Then Mama Su talked about her situation. Mama Su's tone of voice was aimed at Yun'er.
"That day, the slave and maid were ordered by the butcher to buy salt, and when they walked halfway, they felt that it was wrong, and the butcher must have broken himself away, and then spoiled his daughter, and hurried back. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the old beast yelling and swearing at home. I didn't see any fish through the crack in the door, and I immediately panicked. Do you think the old brute killed the fish after he finished spoiling it? This man has no humanity at all, and can do anything. His first woman was tortured to death by him. The slave didn't dare to enter the house directly, and if he entered the house, he would become a punching bag, and it would be possible to kill him. It's nothing if the slave dies, and the daughter doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, if it falls into the hands of the old beast and no one protects her, it's over. So I decided to find my daughter first, and then I would have to live to see people dead and corpses. I searched in front of the house and behind the house, and just wanted to see if there was anything in the well, but I was hit with a stick on the head and fainted. When he woke up, he had already been tied into a rice dumpling by the butcher and thrown in the hut where the wood was chopped. Crying inside, begging the butcher to let her go to her daughter. The butcher said, "I sold the piece of girl you brought, and even you sold it." After I bought you, I started to be unlucky, and it was your mother and daughter who were harmed by the two broom stars. If you sell it, you can still pay off a little debt. You just honestly wait for the buyer to come and bring you into the city to enjoy the blessings, and Lao Tzu will sell you to the kiln. ”
When the slave and maid heard this, they fainted. On the third night, two men came, and they gagged the slaves and maids and stuffed them into a carriage. The space in the car was small, and there were already four young women in the car, who were also tied up like rice dumplings. The slave and maid were the last to get on the bus, and could only nest at the door of the car. After staggering all night, the car stopped at dawn, and I faintly heard the sound of a fight in front of me, the clanging of weapons, and someone shouting to catch the assassin. Then a man with a sword lifted the curtain as if to hide in the car. The slave had already heard someone shouting for the Assassin in front of him, this man was probably an Assassin, and if he came in, he and several other women would definitely be killed by him, because he didn't even have a place to put his feet. Rather than be killed by him, it was better to fight, and kick the man hard when he didn't stand firm. The man was probably wounded, and when he got into the car, his hand with the sword was shaking, his legs were shaking, and his body was shaking, and the slave and maid concluded that this man was seriously wounded, so she kicked him hard before he could stand firm, and he fell out of the car, and was immediately caught. ”
"After a while, a man in his thirties lifted the curtain and asked the slave, 'You kicked the assassin out of the car?' The slave nodded. The man pulled the slave out of the car, untied the rope from her body, and said, 'You saved my life, I'll buy you, come with me.' The slave and maid said, 'This lord, the little woman did not know you at all, but when she saw the man with the sword in the chariot, she was afraid that he would kill herself, and she did not think of saving anyone.' The man said, 'He said this to you, and he is a real man.' You should know where you were bought by these two people, do you want to go to that kind of place? The slave shook her head vigorously. The man said, 'Since you don't want to go to that place, come with me, and I'll keep you for the rest of your life.' You didn't mean to save me, but you saved me by kicking the Assassin. The slave thought that this man was quite righteous, so she agreed to go with him. When I arrived at the place, I knew that he was Prince An, and the gate in front of me was Prince An's Mansion. ”
"After the slave maid entered King An's mansion, Prince An was very good to the slave and maid, first arranged a place for the slave and maid to eat and live, and then found Lang Zhong to see a doctor for the slave and maid. Later, the slave and maid also secretly sneaked back to Zunhua to find her daughter, but the slave and maid did not know that the butcher was dead, and she was afraid that she would be found by him, and if she was caught by the butcher, she would die. As a result, the first thing I saw when I returned home was a crossed-out seal with an official seal on the gate. So he quickly hid in an inn, and only dared to come out when it was dark to ask his neighbors about the situation. I knew that the butcher was in prison for murder. ”
The slave thought that the butcher must have killed her own daughter, and she still had a little hope at that time, but she was not reconciled, because she did not see her daughter's body with her own eyes. searched street by street, searched every corner of Zunhua, and finally despaired, believing that the butcher had killed his daughter. At that time, the slave maid dreamed every day that her daughter was ruined by the butcher, and then the miserable little body was killed. Since then, I have never looked for my daughter, and this kind of mental torture has been torturing the slave maid, and the slave and maid feel guilty! ”
Mama Su cried, and the fish kept wiping her tears. Yun'er handed her handkerchief to Mama Su, how dare Mama Su wipe her tears with the handkerchief of Fang Fujin? He wiped it with his sleeve, and then said: "One day less than a year after the slave maid arrived at the Anwang Mansion to run errands, a lame beggar with a stick walked up, carrying a child of three or four years old, walking forward with difficulty, and shaking. The slave maid felt that the beggar was familiar, so she stared at him. It wasn't until the beggar staggered past that the slave suddenly remembered that this beggar was her maiden brother! Turned back and grabbed him. Then the child on my brother's back said, 'Uncle, I'm hungry. The elder brother told the slave maid that this child was the tiger son and the slave maid who was forcibly taken away and passed on to them by the uncle and sister-in-law! After the brother and sister recognized each other, the elder brother told the slave maid that when Huzi was two years old, the people of the Zhou family came to his brother's house and said that the eldest lady had a son born by herself, and she did not need to pass on the descendants of the lowly race. Hurry up and get it. But soon a plague came, and he was the only one left in the family of the slave's brother, and he sold all his property before burying a dozen of his relatives. But he had no source of livelihood of his own, no one would recruit a crippled person to do things, and his brother had other diseases. was still thinking about his nephew in the Zhou family, so he was taken to his side. The two nephews and uncles began a life of begging. The elder brother realized that he would die soon, and wanted to take advantage of the time of begging to give his nephew to a kind-hearted and childless family, or he would not be able to close his eyes until he died. The people of the Zhou family told him that the fourth grandmother had died a long time ago, but when he was begging, he heard that the Zhou family sold slaves and fish to a butcher in Zunhua County, this butcher was an unscrupulous person, and his brother knew that he could not go with the butcher to get his sister and niece back by his own strength, and he was undoubtedly unlucky. Later, when I was fortunate enough to ask for enough money to hire a car in Zunhua, I found that the butcher's family was already ruined. The butcher was beheaded, and the slave and the fish were sold by him, and the connection was severed. It was difficult for the two nephews and uncles to walk back to the capital from Zunhua, thanks to a farmer who went to the city to sell vegetables, and brought the two nephews back to the capital. There is also a dilapidated house of the elder brother in the capital that has not been lived in for a long time, which has become the residence of their nephew, and the road is endless, the brother and sister are reunited, and the slave and maid take on the obligation to raise the brother and son. When he recognized his brother, he was already in the fold. Now the slave's brother has passed away, and the son is seventeen years old, and he has been a little steward in Prince An's Zhuangzi, and he has not yet married a daughter-in-law.
