Fang Lei said: "It's only four watch at this time, it's still early, it's not too late to go down until dawn, take a rest here for a while!" ”

So the two men leaned on the trunk of a tree, closed their eyes, and waited until dawn, when they stood up and walked slowly down the mountain.

The countryman is diligent, when he arrived at Wu Dasheng's house, his wife also got up and was cleaning the courtyard, but saw that the house was built with blue bricks and tiles, it seems that Wu Dasheng, a dog thief, did rob a lot of money and goods a few years ago, and only then built this single courtyard.

Ma Wu said from afar: "Congratulations sister-in-law! The eldest brother has become a county official in Cangsong County, and now he has sent us back to pick you and the two sons to enjoy the blessings! ”

Qian said in disbelief: "Third brother! You're lying, aren't you? He is in decline, can he also be a county official? ”

"This is true, I am the master, Ma Wu is a yacha, the magistrate has just taken office, and he can't squeeze out time to come back, so he entrusted the two of us to pick up the wife and the lady to live together, the mansion has been cleaned up, the maid ring, the servants, and the miscellaneous servants have been arranged, just waiting for you to go over and enjoy the blessings!" Fang Lei said seriously.

Qian still didn't believe it, and asked, "How did he become a county official?" Tell me about it! ”

"A month ago, the emperor sent the minister of the Qincha to inspect the counties, and then came to Cangsong County, after the eldest brother knew, he stopped the palanquin of the minister, and sued the old county for eight crimes, and the minister then sent someone to investigate and secretly visit, and implemented the crimes of the old county officials, and felt that the eldest brother was loyal to the emperor, so he was given the position of acting magistrate, and after returning to Jinling City, let the emperor issue a holy decree and grant real power, he is a veritable magistrate of the county!" Ma Wu said.

This thief is in charge, he really has a good eloquence, he speaks better than he sings, he shouldn't have gone up the mountain to join the gang in the first place, he should not be a thief, not to be a storyteller, it's a pity for him.

When Qian heard Ma Wu say this, he was convinced and asked, "Third brother! When is the lady going to come into town with you? ”

"Sooner rather than later, of course! The sooner your family meets, the sooner I can rest assured! Ma Wu said.

Qian said happily: "That sister-in-law packed a few clothes and walked with you!" ”

"It's all in the city, what do you want these rotten clothes for? The eldest brother knew that he had not sent it to the family in the past few years, and it was difficult for the sister-in-law, so he had already set up the cloth, all of which were silk and satin, and let the sister-in-law pick it! Ma Wu said.

Qian said: "It's good to know! The clothes of these two brothers, sewn and sew, mended and mended, sewed and mended for another year, the eldest is already twelve years old, and the second is also eight years old, wearing these patched clothes during the day, they dare not go out to meet people, and there are no children in the village who are willing to play with them, only two brothers, playing hide and seek at home! ”

"Then let's go to the town first and have breakfast, and then hire a carriage to go into the city, not far from here to Cangsong County, set off now, and arrive tomorrow morning!" Fang Lei said.

Qian blessed Fang Lei and said, "Thank you, master!" ”

As he spoke, he locked the gate, followed behind with his two children, and set off.

The five people came to the town, Fang Lei took them into the restaurant and ordered a few large plates of meat dishes, he knew that these children in the countryside were in a long physical period, and they were struggling to survive on weekdays, and they were seriously lacking in nutrition, so let them taste the taste of meat dishes, right?

Sure enough, when the two children saw the large plate of meat and vegetables and the fragrant white rice, they were so excited that before the adults could say hello, they picked up the rice, picked up the chopsticks, and devoured it.

Qian said: "You two boys, are you reincarnated as hungry ghosts?" No politeness at all! ”

"Uncle is deliberately stir-frying a few more dishes, so that you can eat to your heart's content, eat slowly, don't choke!"

Fang Lei looked at the two children, and his pity suddenly rose, although Wu Dasheng, the dog thief, committed a heinous crime, the children are innocent!

"Thank you, uncle! In the past three years, my mother and we have not eaten a meal of white rice, let alone meat, I don't know why my father is so ruthless, is it not my mother and my two brothers! The eldest son said.

Ma Wu said: "When you saw your father, you asked him personally, he didn't even want his own wife and son, whether he was a human or a beast!" ”

"As a son, you can't blame your father, maybe he has a hard time?" Qian said.

Along the way, the carriage was not very bumpy, and Qian held a child in one hand, like a hen holding a chick, not letting them touch the hard wood on the carriage, which was really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world! But did Wu Dasheng, a frenzied official addict, ever think about what the result would be once his feet were exposed?

In the evening, the carriage entered a small town in Cangsong County, and Fang Lei said: "Let's stay here for one night, and we can arrive at the county seat at noon tomorrow!" ”

Entering the inn, Fang Lei asked for a total of three guest rooms, and the Qian family and his two sons were arranged in the big room in the middle, which was for the safety of the mother and son.

After everyone washed up, they rested early, and there was nothing to say all night.

At noon the next day, the carriage came to the gate of the Cangsong County Yamen, Fang Lei glanced at Ma Wu and said, "Yacha! The magistrate is trying the case in the public court, I'll take them in first, and you will come back later! ”

Ma Wu knew what Fang Lei meant, so let them meet as a family first, and see what Wu Dasheng, the dog thief, had to say?

The two yacha guarding the door saw the young man entering with a woman and two children, and were about to stop him, Fang Lei flicked his hand and said majestically: "This is the family of the county magistrate, who has just picked it up from the countryside, who dares to stop it?" Do you want to die? ”

When the yacha heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "Mrs. Zhixian! In the next moment, recklessness has collided with you, please forgive me! ”

Qian said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and you don't have to mind!" ”

At this time, Qian was sure that he was already the wife of the county, thinking about the good days in the future, his eyes smiled into a slit, and said happily: "My son! Mother will take you to see Dad now! ”

As he spoke, he took a son in one hand, and under the leadership of Fang Lei, he entered the court, Fang Lei pointed to Chen Zhixian who was sitting next to him with his hand and asked, "Qian's!" Please keep your eyes open and look at the point, is the one wearing the county official uniform your husband Wu Dasheng? ”

"Not bad! He is Wu Dasheng, the official of the concubine, is there such a stupid woman in the world who can't even recognize her husband? Qian said.

The eldest son shouted happily, "Daddy! You're my real daddy! ”

"What a secret! This Chen Zhixian turned out to be an impostor! ”

Fang Lei flashed to Zhong Xun's side, he was afraid that Wu Dasheng, a bandit dog, would jump off the wall in a hurry, which would be unfavorable to Lord Zhong, Xia He and Xiaoxi also stood up to protect the safety of adults.
