Chapter 44: Antecedents
Back in the house, Liu Jing was quiet for several days.
It wasn't until that day that she got a message from a prodigal son that she ordered Uncle Hou and others to do something to Liu Er.
It's when the night is quiet.
Among the counties in Yangzhou, Wu County is neither prosperous nor rich, and at night, most of the streets are even darker without lanterns, and no one will put torches in for lighting.
Fortunately, tonight, the bright moon hung high, the silver light was leaking out, and the earth was silvery white.
Because it was not long after nightfall, there were bursts of laughter and sheng music from time to time. As a group of knights clattered down the street, the sound of horses' hooves moving was also muffled by the laughter.
At this moment, from a dark alleyway, several figures flashed, accompanied by the sound of "hmm" when the mouths and noses of people were covered.
With an uproar, all the knights stopped at the same time, and they all looked at the black-clothed man who walked in front. Seeing him staring in that direction, a knight lowered his voice and said, "Lang Jun, today is really lucky, you said that if you go nearby, you can actually catch fish?" ”
The black-clothed man stared ahead, and commanded softly, "Keep up!" ”
"Yes."
Several people turned over and dismounted, and quietly followed.
Liu Jing was waiting in a rented room, and when she heard Uncle Hou's voice, she quickly walked out and opened the door.
Glancing at Liu Er, who was being dragged in by several people, Liu Jing's face showed a look of disgust.
How much her father attaches importance to this person, it can be seen from the name Liu Er, a teenager who has difficulty with three meals, his father brought him up, asked his husband to teach him to read, sued him for business, and lent him money to marry and settle his parents. But that's how he repaid his father!
This person is really wolf-hearted!
At that moment, Liu Jing walked up to Liu Er, who was tied hands and feet and his mouth was blocked, and kicked him hard in the back.
This kick brought Liu Er, who was writhing around, to wake up, and at that moment, Liu Er looked up at Liu Jing.
On Liu Jing's face, he was stunned at first, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Er, who was twenty years old and fair-skinned, had bright eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't wait to speak, Liu Jing said in disgust: "Take down the strip of cloth and let him speak." ”
"Yes."
Uncle Hou stepped forward and ripped off the strip of cloth that Liu Er had blocked in his mouth.
As soon as his mouth was free, Liu Er, who had been staring at Liu Jing in a flurry manner, called in a dumb voice: "Sister-in-law? Liu, Liu Jing? ”
Liu Jing's current appearance in men's clothes was not recognized by outsiders, but she didn't expect that this white-eyed wolf would recognize her at a glance.
Looking at Liu Er, who had excitement and indescribable complexity in her eyes, Liu Jing couldn't hide her disgust, she said coldly with a straight face: "Liu Er, your father was framed and imprisoned by you?" ”
After Liu Er's eyes darkened when he asked a question, Liu Jing gritted her teeth and whispered, "You say! What is it about my father that you can't live up to you, and you have framed him like this! ”
Liu Er looked at Liu Jing with a straight face, and did not answer her words, but said in a daze: "Sister-in-law, I went to Yanghe a month ago, but you are all gone, and I asked many people, but even Zhao Xuan doesn't know where you are." I really didn't expect that you would have come to Wu County a long time ago. ”
Zhao Xuan? The powerful Zhao Xuan, who blackmailed her for a thousand taels of gold and wanted to buy her, Liu Er also knew it?
Liu Er didn't seem to feel Liu Jing's disgust, and he was still looking at Liu Jing in a daze. Obviously, Liu Jing had blackened her face and retouched her eyebrows and eyes and pretended to be a man, but he felt that the sister-in-law in front of him was still the little girl who was reading on the spring breeze with eyes like a clear spring. Thinking that six years ago, not long after Liufu moved to Yanghe County, he was generally ragged and shrunken and humble, but since he saw the girl standing under the willow tree with picturesque eyebrows and bright and flamboyant eyes, his heart could no longer hold himself.
But what's the use of trying harder? Even if he is the most powerful dog in the adult side, it is only a dog. I can only glance at my sister-in-law from a distance.
In the suffering of this day and day, and the pain of year after year, Min Saburo, who happened to meet four years ago, said a sentence that overturned his idea from then on. Min Saburo said: "If a man wants to be a dog, then he will only be a dog for the rest of his life, and you are a dog in anyone's eyes." And if you become a wolf, you can get what you want. ”
So, he became a wolf. At the suggestion of Min Saburo, after Master Calculation was imprisoned, he communicated the news with Haoqiang Zhao Xuan, asking him to force Liufu to repay the huge debt of 1,000 taels of gold, and if Liufu could not pay it, he would use his sister-in-law to repay the debt. When he couldn't wait to receive his sister-in-law, there was news that Liu Fu had paid off the debt with a lot of money! At that time, Zhao Xuan said that Liu Wenjing was too happy to repay the money, and he couldn't find a reason.
There was an undisguised obsession in Liu Er's eyes, which made Liu Jing and several servants next to him very disgusted. 、
At that moment, Uncle Hou rushed over, he stepped heavily on Liu Er's abdomen, and Liu Er screamed, and after shrinking into a ball on the ground, he pounced again, picked up his fist and beat Liu Er on the ground with his head covered and his head covered!
Seeing that Liu Er's face was swollen into a pig's head and his nose bleeded, Liu Jing said, "Uncle, you stand down, I'll ask him a few more words." ”
Waiting for Uncle Hou to retreat, Liu Jing walked to Liu Er's side, squatted down on one knee and stared at him, such a simple action, she did it with a little bit of good background, and she was full of elegance and beauty, both eyes were hit by Uncle Hou, and tears flowed uncontrollably Liu Er, now stupid again.
Liu Jing was really disgusted by his eyes, so she asked with a cold face: "Liu Er, tell me, is it Min Saburo of Minfu who wants to harm adults?" Who else but him? ”
Seeing that Liu Er looked at herself in a daze and just didn't speak, Liu Jing sneered, and she said coldly, "You don't want to say? Don't forget, your one-year-old baby is still in our hands! Speaking of this, she raised her voice and ordered: "Uncle Hou, cut off one of Bao'er's fingers and show it to his father!" ”
Liu Jing is a woman and handsome, so she is not convincing when she says this, but Uncle Hou and the others who are standing behind her, the hateful and resentful eyes when they look at Liu Er, but Liu Er clearly understands that they must have no woman's kindness to Bao'er.
Sure enough, Uncle Hou immediately gritted his teeth and responded: "Sister-in-law, why don't you bring that little beast over and cut it in front of this beast?" ”
Liu Jing responded: "It's okay." In this way, you will ask and deal with the following, and I will go for a walk. With that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Just as she turned around, Liu Er hissed, "Wait! Sister-in-law, wait! ”
Seeing Liu Jing turn around, Liu Er, who was forcibly supported by half of his body, fell to the ground with a thud, he looked at her infatuatedly, and said in a dumb voice: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, you ask, I'll tell you." ”
Liu Jing paced in front of Liu Er when she heard this, she lowered her head to him, and said with a straight face: "Then you answer my question, who is behind the scenes of my father?" Isn't it Min Saburo? ”
Liu Er's face was pale, and he said astringently: "My sister-in-law expected it to be good, it was made by Min Sanlang." ”
Liu Jing said coldly: "Who else is there besides Min Saburo?" Also, why did Min Saburo persecute my father? ”
Liu Er looked up at Liu Jing in a daze, and said in a low voice: "My lord is not a big businessman in Wu County, if you want to move him, Min Saburo alone is enough...... Originally, Min Saburo felt that although adults were not good at business, they seemed to have a lot of money, and they spoke and acted in the style of everyone, so they intended to make friends. At that time, he bought me just to have an eyeliner in front of adults. That time, Min Saburo entered a batch of private salt, and he happened to be seen by adults. Although the adult didn't say it, Min Saburo was uneasy, and later, Min Saburo spoiled the adult's business from time to time. That time, an official sent from above came to inspect the ship, and when he found the ship of the Min Mansion, Min Saburo thought that there was still half a boatload of private goods on the ship, and if the Min Mansion was found out, it would be eaten and hung up. It just so happened that when he saw that the adult's ship was also there, he asked me to put some salt on the adult's ship while the adult was unprepared, and then ordered the local officials who had colluded with him to check the adult's ship first. ”
He took a breath and continued: "The adult's boat found out the illegal salt, and there was a commotion, and the officials sent from above also put down the ship of the Min Mansion and came over to keep an eye on the adult's side. Minfu's ship took advantage of the chaos to withdraw. ”
He paused and continued: "Later, when the adults were imprisoned, Min Saburo also made four points, saying that he would sentence the adults to a decisive sentence. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Er looked at Liu Jing and muttered: "Sister-in-law, Ah Wu was implicated by me, don't hate him...... I, I'm sorry for my lord, just kill me. ”
Liu Jing was thinking about his words, but she didn't pay attention to them. After a while, she sneered: "Yes, it's enough for you to say sorry!" My father's kindness to you, you can say sorry enough! Scolded hatefully, she turned her eyes and thought: It's just a natural repeated villain, what kind of conscience do I have with this kind of person?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Er became excited. He struggled desperately on the ground, and as he struggled, he laughed hoarsely, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! How will you understand, how can you possibly understand! Six years, six whole years, I read it every day, look forward to it every day, and sometimes think that it would be good for my sister-in-law's soft hand to slap me a few times, and I thought at that time, as long as my sister-in-law slapped me, I would never wash my face again. But I don't even think about it. I told the adults that I wanted to stay in Yanghe and wanted to take care of the family, but the adults disagreed. I told the adults again that my sister-in-law was about to grow up and get married, so it was better for me to buy a dowry for my sister-in-law, but the adults still disagreed. What can I do? I was thirsty every day, thinking of the pain, so I cut my hand with a knife, sister-in-law, you see, my chest, this hand and legs, are all knife marks I made! I'm ungrateful, I'm unconscionable, I'm hungry and my sister-in-law is going crazy. My little concubine, just because her eyes look a little like my sister-in-law, I did everything possible to get her, and I hurt her like a treasure. I didn't look at the son born to my wife's wife, I just thought that every iron coin I earned was Xiaobao's. I think of her as my sister-in-law, and I think of Bao'er as the son born to my sister-in-law and me......" When he hissed and said this, Uncle Hou, who was extremely angry on one side, had already rushed over, and he stepped heavily on Liu Er's mouth.
Until he was trampled on the ground by Uncle Hou like this, until Liu Er's delicate white face was trampled and distorted, Gu Er was still laughing silently, and looking at Liu Jing for a moment. The red light in his eyes reflected his whole person a little distorted and crazy.
Under such eyes, Liu Jing involuntarily took a step back.
Just when she turned her head sharply and didn't want to look at Liu Er again, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Then a servant staggered up to her, and cried out with a white face and panic, "Oh, no, no! Officers and soldiers are coming outside! ”
"What?" Liu Jing's face changed, she didn't have time to think that the officers and soldiers were coming at this time, she knew what she had said. Just gritted his teeth and ordered Uncle Hou and the others: "Quickly drag Liu Er down, Uncle Hou, you immediately find a safe place to hide." I dragged them outside. She hurriedly ordered, "Quick! ”
