Chapter Forty-Nine
The horse's hooves echoed in the night, because of the Xie family's big man, the gate of Pengshui City had been opened, and they went out of the city unimpeded.
After leaving the city, there were two more riders in front and behind, holding torches for lighting.
The horse's hooves galloped, and Xie Roujia, who was also blowing in the night breeze, came back to her senses.
She hasn't said where to go yet.
"I'm going to Wanzhou." She said loudly.
"I know." The man in front of him said.
Xie Roujia sighed, but then she was vigilant.
How does he know?
She couldn't help but look up at the man in front of her, his cloak blown out on both sides by the night wind, and the light was dim, and she couldn't see his description clearly.
At that time, she was only braiding straw ropes in the carriage, and did not look at this man much, and now that she seems to have no memory of what he was like.
Such a coincidence?
It can be said that it is a coincidence to catch his car on the mountain road, but it is not a coincidence to hitch a ride on his horse outside the gate of Xie's house.
Xie Roujia's hand around the man loosened slightly.
Who is he?
"I'm a friend of Fifth Master Xie."
As soon as she let go, the man in front of her turned his head slightly and said.
"To solve this problem now, we need the Du family in Wanzhou, right?"
Yes, he said that he was a friend of the fifth uncle.
Can you still go to Yushan's mansion, did you go out of your way to visit the injured fifth uncle?
Then he must know about the fifth uncle and the Du family.
The horse's hooves were flying, Xie Roujia's body was upside down, and she hurriedly reached out and hugged the person in front of her again.
"Yes, yes." She said loudly, "Thank you Uncle Zhou for taking me to the Du family in Wanzhou." ”
The man in front of him hummed and didn't speak again.
His equestrian skills were very good, and under the light of the torches, he controlled the horse to gallop steadily and quickly, Xie Roujia relieved himself and hugged his waist tightly.
Does the fifth uncle also have this friend? Did he also help the fifth uncle like this at that time?
But why did the fifth uncle end up alone?
Is it because the old grievances of the Xie family and the Du family are still unresolved in the end?
Thinking of this, she was excited again, sat up straight, and unconsciously grasped the waist of the person in front of her.
By the way, she still doesn't know what the old grudge between the Xie family and the Du family is! What should I say when I see the Du family?
One hand pressed down on hers.
The cold hand blown by the night wind suddenly became warm, but the unfamiliar touch of the man's hand also made her body tense, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.
The hand took her hand, gently brought it forward, and withdrew the hand and left.
"Sit down." He said.
Forget it, after meeting the people of the Du family, she came to persuade that Du Wangshu to talk about old grievances.
Xie Roujia relaxed and hugged him tightly, and the horse crossed a ravine, and the cloak was raised, completely covering the little girl behind him.
King Dongping tightened the reins in his hand, but he was a little funny in his heart.
He didn't like to be approached in his life, but he remembered that he had a cat when he was a child, and that cat always secretly grinded its claws behind him, and hung on his waist at every turn, just like now.
The little girl behind him wrapped her hands tightly around his waist, occasionally crankily reaching out and grabbing his waist with her claws like a frightened cat.
Interesting.
The night wind hunts, and the horses' hooves are hurrying, galloping on the road.
At this time, in the Xie family's mansion, Xie Roujia was kicked out, but Mrs. Xie still didn't put on her clothes smoothly.
Old Lady Xie tightened the rope in his hand, and the rope tied him and Old Lady Xie together, and he lay motionless with his eyes closed.
"Father." Mrs. Xie cried, "I know you can't bear your mother, but if you trap your mother like this and don't let her go, she will also suffer." ”
"Bring me my shrouds too." Old Lady Xie repeated this sentence again, "I came to the Xie family for her, since I want to leave, let's go together, she is gone, what is the point of me staying here." ”
"You unproductive thing!" Xie Cunli shouted, "What are you living in this life!" ”
"Yes, I'm unproductive, I entered the door of the Xie family, and the Wang family and the Zhao family are waiting for me to be beautiful, but I, Wang Songyang, why should I be beautiful for them? Why should others judge my earnings! Old lady Xie said, closing her eyes and sneering, "What is the Xie family, the Wang family, the Zhao family, what do you care about me, I only know, I am Wang Songyang, I like Xie Shan and want to be with Xie Shan for the rest of my life." ”
Mrs. Xie knelt on the ground and cried, raising her head.
"Father, what am I?" She hissed, patting her heart, "Father, what am I?" Mother doesn't want me, and even you don't want me anymore! What did you give birth to me? What did you give birth to me! Okay, if you want to die, everyone will die together, who won't die! ”
As she spoke, she slammed into the bed, and the screams of the people in the room rushed to stop her.
Old Lady Xie finally got up from the bed.
"Ayuan." With tears in his eyes, he said, "I know I've hurt you." ”
Mrs. Xie tugged at his sleeve and cried.
"But, it's all bitter, and your mother is also bitter." Old lady Xie said, "She can't say anything about her suffering." ”
He looked at Mrs. Xie.
"I know you resent her, looked down on her, and treated her like a murderer."
"Ayuan, Pang Peiyu was not killed by your mother."
No?
"That Pang Peiyu fell to her death, and your mother didn't touch her at all."
Mrs. Xie cried and did not look up.
Old Lady Xie looked at her and closed her eyes with a bit of despair.
"Nobody believes it." He said, with a desolation in his voice, "No one believes it, your mother died unjustly in this life, just because she is a Dannu, just because the Xie family is omnipotent, just because she and Du Wangshu are in love, all the wrongdoing, all the sins, she has to bear it!" What a grievance in this life! ”
As he spoke, he crawled back to Old Madam Xie.
"Xie Shan, what a grievance you have lived in this life! You don't even look blind to death! You can't just die! Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
He reached out and grabbed Old Madam Xie and shook it vigorously.
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
The people in the room screamed again and rushed up, and there was a mess.
…………………………………………………
Xie Roujia stretched out her hand and pulled down the cloak that covered her, and looked ahead, where a city gate stood in the night.
"Uncle Zhou, I'll call the city gate." She said loudly.
She can use Xie Rouhui's identity, and after the March 3rd sacrifice, she believes that the name of the eldest lady of the Xie family is very good in Bashu.
"No, you don't." The man in front of him said.
No? What not to use?
Xie Roujia was puzzled, as soon as the words fell, their horses had already arrived in front of the city gate, and the speed of the horses did not slow down at all, as if they were about to crash into the door.
Xie Roujia couldn't help but tighten his waist again.
At this moment, the city gate opened, and the galloping horses flew through the city gate, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the city gate hole very loudly.
Xie Roujia's eyes widened, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a guard holding a torch standing next to the city gate guard flashing by, and she was immediately stunned.
This uncle of the Zhou family brought two entourages, and they were the ones who opened the city gate first.
But how did they open the gates?
The city gate of the government is not the door of the ordinary people's homes, and it is said that it will be opened, and it must be reported layer by layer, otherwise it is a big crime to open the city gate privately.
Her thoughts turned, and the horse was already galloping far down the street.
There is no need to think about this now, the important thing is to find Du Wangshu.
"Uncle Zhou! Uncle Zhou! She grabbed the man's shirt around his waist and shouted, "Do you know where the Du family is?" ”
The man in front of him snorted.
Yes, he is a friend of the fifth uncle, and he may have followed the fifth uncle to the Du family.
Xie Roujia let go of her hand and hugged his waist, and after walking a short distance, the horse was stopped by a neigh.
Arrived?
Xie Roujia looked up, and the lights were bright in his sight, shining on a mansion, and the four characters of Wanzhou County were clear and dazzling.
County office?
"Zhou ......," she shouted.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the man in front of him raised his leg and jumped off the horse from the front, and at the same time reached out to carry her down.
"Ah Qi." He shouted.
A guard stood up.
"Come with him." He said, patting Xie Roujia lightly on the shoulder, "The people of the Du family are already in prison. ”
In this way, Xie Roujia sighed in her heart, nodded to him and followed the retinue named Ah Qi.
Like the city gate, the gate of the county government opened as they approached, and the two officials greeted them respectfully.
"Lead the way." Ah Qi said.
The two officials turned around and walked, Xie Roujia looked back when he entered the county office, and saw this Uncle Zhou standing in place raising his hand and pulling up his hood, and when he saw her, he smiled slightly and nodded.
Xie Roujia also nodded at him, turned around and strode to follow the person leading the way.
The cell was dimly lit and smelled of rancidity.
"Wait here, Miss, let's bring someone over." The official said respectfully, pointing to the place where the cell bosses were resting.
Xie Roujia shook her head.
She's here to beg for help, or it's better to see her in person.
She lifted her feet and continued to walk.
Don't be afraid when the little girl enters the cell, the official said in his heart, but he couldn't ask according to the superfluous words, so he honestly led the way.
The potholed ground, the occasional rat stinging ran by, but there was no girl's exclamation behind him.
Aren't you afraid?
The official turned around and saw that the little girl was walking calmly without squinting, as if she was not walking in the cell, but on the street.
What is so terrible about a few rats in a cell, the night in the mountains is full of snakes, insects and beasts.
Xie Roujia followed the official steadily, turned a corner, and stopped in front of a cell.
There were seven or eight men in this cell, old and young, the younger ones were sleeping on straw mats, and the older ones were leaning against the wall and squinting, looking very wolf-like, and when they heard the footsteps, several of the older ones opened their eyes and looked over.
The others were not, and one of the old men's eyes fell on Xie Roujia behind the official errand, and his expression was stunned, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
She......
"Du Wangshu."
There seemed to be a crisp female voice in his ears, and a girl in bright red jumped in front of him in a blurred vision.
"Du Wangshu."
She tilted her head and giggled at him.
"Du Wangshu!" The official shouted.
The voice made the old man's eyes froze as usual, and he slowly stood up.
"Someone is looking for it." The official messenger continued, put away his sternness, looked at Xie Roujia with a smiling face, and turned sideways to get out of the way, "Miss, please." ”
This old man is Du Wangshu.
Xie Roujia stepped forward.
"Open the door." She said.
The official stared, and he wanted to go in?
"Miss, if you go in, we'll lock the cells." He reminded.
It's terrible to be locked up with a bunch of people in prison.
Xie Roujia hummed, stood in front of the cell door, the official shook his head and went up to open it, watched her walk in and locked the door.
This movement woke everyone in the cell and looked at the little girl with some surprise.
"Is it our child?"
"Why did you get here? Isn't there a women's prison? ”
There is a sleeping dazed person asking.
Du Wangshu looked at Xie Roujia.
"Miss Xie, what are you looking for me?" He said.
Miss Xie?
There was a sudden silence in the cell.
This is, the eldest lady of the Xie family?
Immediately, there was a bang, and the young people all stood up with angry faces.
The people of the Xie family even dared to come!
"What are you doing!" The official knocked on the pillar and shouted, "Stand back, stand back, all stand back." ”
But even though he shouted like this, these people really wanted to rush up, but he couldn't save them.
Xie Roujia turned a blind eye to these angry glances and bowed to Du Wangshu.
"Grandpa Du." "I'm here to ask you to meet my grandmother. ”
The people in the cell were in an uproar again.
"Get out!"
"Who wants to see the people of the Xie family!"
Someone even shouted.
Xie Roujia didn't have the slightest fear, just looked at Du Wangshu.
Du Wangshu raised his hand to stop the commotion of the crowd.
"Why?" He asked.
"My grandmother is dying, and she wants to see you." Xie Roujia said.
As soon as these words came out, Du Wangshu laughed.
"Xie Shan is dying?" He said, and looked at the family members behind him, "Did you hear that, Xie Shan is going to die!" ”
The family behind him burst into laughter.
"Xie Shan is dying! Yes, yes! ”
"I only hate being in a prison cell, and I don't have alcohol, otherwise I must be drunk for three days to celebrate such a happy event!"
The room was full of laughter and applause, hovering around Xie Roujia before and after.
