Chapter 41: Letters
The general who originally received a false whisper prompt was suspicious, but after testing the Huang County Lieutenant who was in the escort, it turned into an affirmation.
Several men reacted sharply to this matter and cooperated tacitly.
One person stretched out his arm to hold Huang County's lieutenant and forcibly opened his big mouth, and the other stuffed the arsenic-infused wine and vegetables into it as if stuffed with duck according to the instructions of the false Taoist priest.
I didn't treat my stomach badly again, I closed the door, picked up the non-toxic dishes and eaten, and made a fist to make it so lively.
Of course, from beginning to end, only the two with the loudest voices were eaten, and the rest of the affected ones followed the Taoist priest to the prison.
The husband's grievances are clear, the grievances are reported directly, and the kindness is also repaid.
The shame of being poisoned was mixed with righteous indignation, and Du Xuanshuang took the initiative to assist those servants in escaping from prison.
As the little Taoist priest said, after quietly letting the prisoners go, they left the county office, leaving only the arsonist who appeared with the answerer to hide quietly.
Du Xuanshuang finished talking about the past, and his eyes couldn't help but stop at a glance on the Taoist priest's elegant and calm face.
The brothers looked at the big grin, but in the process of cooperating with the false words, they also discovered that something was wrong little by little.
If it is said that attacking poison with poison and drugging the jailer to rob the prison is a Taoist priest who has prepared for the situation, and the group sneak attack after returning to the Zhou family courtyard is even more strange.
The careful Xing Laosi has been following the Taoist priest, according to what he said, the Taoist priest's kung fu is ordinary, but he is very fast in fighting with people. The night battle was not clear, but when Tianming cleaned up the bodies of the forty-three bandits, he found that about half of them were strangely dead, without injuries and traces.
Bai Lu once secretly talked about Mother Zhu's medicine to attract snakes, which should also be inseparable from the lie.
Lie Yan is not as he claims to be, just a wandering Taoist priest with rough medical skills.
Du Xuanshuang peeked at the eyes of the false words, Zhou Manyun noticed it, and she guessed that some of the Taoist priests had not been cleaned up and were targeted.
On the contrary, it was Bai Lu, who was his wife, who was sluggish, her hand only grabbed Du Xuanshuang tightly, with a worried face, and said, "Second brother, these bad guys won't come again, right?" ”
"It should ...... No. Just now, Xing Laosi inquired about the news, and the servant who was originally trapped in Xiwan last night also escaped like a prisoner, and Fengjin County has sent someone to Fucheng to report the news. ”
"The garrison stationed in Sai Wan is called a thousand people, and they are eating empty salaries, but the actual number is only eighty percent, and last night it was filled in about half a hundred. If Zhang Shaoxiong hadn't been stupid and saw the corpses piled up at the door, he wouldn't have come again. He replied in a false voice, he was very familiar with the situation of the Xiwan garrison, and the door was clear.
Du Xuanshuang's eyebrows were twisted into one place, although everyone guessed the Fengjin bandit family, but it was too straightforward to say it by name.
After all, a few of them are Da Chen's soldiers, and the people killed at the border pass are all foreign barbarian sand thieves and horse thieves, and the frenzy of killing last night has retreated at this time, although they do not regret it, but when they think that the dead people are also soldiers, I feel disgusted.
"I don't think I'll come back!" , Zhou Manyun, who was sitting in the corner, said softly, to himself.
The mother's injury has stabilized a little, her heart has settled a lot, and she has figured out some old things in her past life.
If you guess this life according to the past life, Zhang Shaoxiong should not have the intention of destroying the Zhou family, he will come to arrest the bandits at the juncture, and be a "life-saving benefactor" in front of the Zhou family who was killed.
In the early years of Taiye in the previous life, the Zhou family in Huocheng was like a beef cattle raised by Zhang Shaoxiong, and they were given what they wanted. A single letter was enough for my grandmother and aunt to pack up a bunch of belongings to repay the favor until he died.
The surname Zhang is a locust that can't be shaken off just by sticking it, and the second uncle, who has always been indifferent, once scolded angrily in front of Man Yun, and Man Yun was deeply impressed.
Thinking about his so-called kindness to the Zhou family, it was the same in his past and present life, not to save his life, but to "not kill"!
The Zhou family's "tribute" to Zhang Shaoxiong was after the death of his grandfather, and the death of his eldest sister Manhua was inseparable from Zhang Shaoxiong, how could they still be like this?
Zhou Manyun carefully read the beginning and the end, but he still couldn't figure it out, and he felt even more heartburned.
At about the beginning of the hour, it is said that Zhou Tan, who was escorted by several loyal servants to find rescuers when the bandits came from the backyard, returned.
Zhou Tan first knelt in front of Mrs. Zhou's bed and cried bitterly and blamed himself for death, and then cried for a long time opposite the Min family who invited him to go to the court, and then he couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
According to the words of Zhou Changde, the chief of his side, who pleaded for guilt, it was they who saw that the situation was not good, knocked out the fourth master and walked away, and they couldn't go out of the city at night, so they hid until dawn and came back.
This statement is quite true according to the impression of the fourth uncle in the previous life. Although he is cowardly, he still takes care of his wife and children.
"It's just that the skin is a little thinner, and the catastrophe is coming, isn't it natural for a man to abandon his wife and children and run away first?" , Zhou Manyun smiled mockingly at the corner of his mouth in a daze, and his small body shrunk at Du Shi's feet turned over gently.
Wives can be remarried, children can be reborn, they are the "men" who take on the mission of reproducing the family, they are the "masters"!
But we don't ask for him!
Zhou Manyun, who fled in Xiakou again in his dream, got out of the galloping carriage, aimed his sword at the wheel, and cut it off with his own hands......
In the unwashed blood of the Zhou family, a bunch of people have not been able to drink a drop of water, and Mrs. Zhou even heard that she vomited four or five times. Among the children, this one is the only one who eats with a round stomach and sleeps soundly. Before going to bed, he would ask someone to wake her up after she took a nap to take care of her mother.
"Much better than I was back then." , looked at the eyelashes on the pink little face in front of him, and sighed in his heart, with a strong envy.
Walking from the sleeping girl to the door of Zhou's house, it was as if he had gone from fairyland to hell again.
Under the scorching summer noon sun, some of the corpses piled up in front of Zhou's house had exuded a rotten smell, which was disgusting.
Du Xuanshuang was standing at the door, waiting for the corpse towers from the Yizhuang Huaren Field to take the corpses away, obviously the corpses of those "bandits" were not wanted.
Walking to Xuan Shuang's side, Xuan Yan looked at the pile of corpses, and said softly, "Thank you!" ”。
Previously, when he examined the corpses, he found that many corpses that had died of poison had many sharp weapon wounds on their bodies, and the flesh and blood were rolled up. Whether he died in Shekou or at his hands.
"I've arranged for Liu Gui to go with me and watch them turn all the corpses into pieces!" , Du Xuanshuang looked ahead, said lightly, and clenched the hand on the handle of the waist knife tightly.
took the initiative to cover up for the Taoist priest, not to thank him, but fortunately, he was also a companion who had fought side by side together, and he also saved the young lady by lying and saying that his origin was strange, and he had doubts but didn't want to ask.
The yards of too many people who have died are filthy, and if you want to live again, you have to clean it up.
The Zhou family moved the corpses up and down, washed the floor, and sprinkled medicine, completely ignoring the neighboring sides and the spies who deliberately dangled to investigate.
Zhou Manhua's corpse can no longer be stopped in the Zhou family, and Yizhuang, which is crowded with thieves' corpses, cannot be sent, Zuihou is still temporarily sent by the Xie family to Baiyun Nunnery outside the city, and the ashes of her brother-in-law Wen Ge'er have become one place.
Seeing Zuihou leave with a carriage carrying the corpse of a thief, Du Xuanshuang snorted coldly at the few spies hiding in the distance with disdain, and said in a deep voice: "They are afraid!" This is inconvenient in the city, otherwise it is better to build a small Beijing view. ”
"In ...... In my hometown, the heads of the enemy under the owl will be secretly made into the size of a projectile, and the knots will be hung on the tree to show off the military merits. The Taoist priest turned his face sideways and replied seriously.
There was silence in front of the gate of the Zhou family's courtyard, and then there was a hearty laugh, with a blend of tones and tacit understanding......
If the Zhou family wants to stay in Fengjin for a while, it is recommended to move to Puji Temple outside the city.
Zhou Manyun, who woke up from a nap, heard Bai Lu's relay for the first time.
Puji Temple is in the west of the city, and there is a mountain of eight people behind it, according to the Taoist priest who recommended this residence, if there is really a disaster, it is faster to run into the mountain.
But Zhou Manyun thought of those servants who should be hiding in the mountains of Balei Mountain, and she was very suspicious of the true motives of the Taoist priests.
Zhou Manyun stood at the door and looked at the men who were talking. It's very strange that Du Xuanshuang, who had obviously made her suspicious of the Taoist priest before, hook up with the lie at this time, and look like a jiashi who wants to cut off the head of a chicken and burn yellow paper.
She hesitated and beckoned to the void.
The Zhou family, who had been washed in blood again, lost many rules under the panic, and the inner courtyard became a miscellaneous courtyard, and the back garden became an open space that no one dared to live in. Zhou Manyun, who was standing by the lotus pond, touched his cold arm, and his heart was at a loss.
"Something to say!" , The Taoist priest who had just been caught out of the men's pile had a thick smoke and fireworks, and he was too lazy to pay attention to the awkward little girl who was only in a daze.
Zhou Manyun pursed his dry lips.
"You deliberately went to the county government with Xing Laosi, and if you know that Du Xuanshuang is there, you want them to help you rob the prison."
"Yes! The original jihua was not like this, but with more haode opportunities and helpers, it was temporarily changed. The Taoist priest replied simply.
"The arsenic in the wine and food is you...... No, it shouldn't be yours. Zhou Manyun slowly said another suspicion, but changed his words under the burning gaze of the Taoist priest.
"Weishenme is not me?" , The Taoist priest thought it was funny, and the little girl's temporary change of words was obviously not out of fear.
"Because of ......", Zhou Manyun, who had been staring at the Taoist priest, collapsed his shoulders that had been tightening, "Because, I suddenly think that you won't use such a simple poison!" ”
Previously, the memory of her previous life made her suspect that the Taoist priest was tempting by himself, but when she spoke, she thought of the room she had just seen.
She changed her words because she suddenly realized that the memories of her past life may not be trustworthy.
The eyebrows of the false words instantly raised, revealing some pride, and his hand pressed on Man Yun's shoulder, and said, "Originally, you were really not stupid!" ”
"Then Weishenme is going to help me again?" , Man Yun asked seriously. Although the sinister villain who betrayed his brother in his previous life was temporarily separated from the person in front of her, she could ask for thanks, but when she saw that the road was uneven, she put it on the Taoist priest, and she didn't believe it.
"Speaking of which, the first time your family encountered bandits, I also wanted to kidnap you when I recovered the silver. It's just that I found out that you are much more mature than the average little girl, and your memory has been fixed early, and I can't think of any medicine for a while that can not make you stupid and forget the past. “
"Weishenme is me?"
"Can I get the silver to bite you again?" The Taoist priest didn't answer, and a little silver shimmered from his cuffs.
"Good!" , Zhou Manyun stretched out a delicate finger without hesitation.
She reserved her opinion on Taoist priests, and she believed in silver......
