Chapter 15: Bad Fate
Yu'er was inquiring with the old man, and the old man's wife also came over, and she just happened to hear the conversation between the old man and Yu'er.
The old woman said: "I see that the costumes are from other places, and I don't know much about the local area. This Joe. Lu Jing is a well-known local salt merchant, salt should be bought and sold by the government, and private people are not allowed to sell salt to buy salt, but this Second Master Qiao, our neighbors call him that. Qiao Erye relied on his close relationship with Chengzun, and actually started to sell illegal salt, and he earned a lot of money over the years, among the merchants in this city, although he was not the richest man, but no one knew about it, and no one knew it. He is also quite generous to the neighbors on weekdays, and when anyone is tight, he borrows a few money from him, and he doesn't care much if he doesn't pay it back. But there is one thing, although his wife has long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his wife has a bad temper. He was a well-known Hedong lion, and his wife did not allow him to take a concubine. But this Second Master Qiao likes to mess with flowers and grass the most, and he is merciful everywhere. Make the little girls bigger, give a few money and forget it. There are also people who come to the door to make trouble with them and the couple. His wife always said that the little girls looked at him as dignified, and he had a very deep relationship with the city and silver, so the little girls did not know the height of the sky and seduced his father-in-law, and he and her husband were in deep love, not to mention that they had a son. Not long ago, another little girl with a big belly came to make trouble, and it happened that Qiao Erye was not at home that day. The little girl knelt at the door of Qiao Erye's house, crying and saying that she only wanted to be a concubine, and she was still a girl who had not left the cabinet. The old woman was halfway through her words, and suddenly her face showed sadness.
sighed, and then said: "Second Master Qiao's wife is not kind of persuasion, but scolds this woman, and the scolding words are simply unbearable. Who knew that this woman had some kung fu on her, she stood up and hit Qiao Erye's wife a few times, and with a miserable scream, Qiao Erye's wife fell there motionless and out of breath. The son-in-law of Qiao's second grandfather ran forward, picked up his mother's head, cried incessantly, and then ran to his kitchen to get a kitchen knife and asked the woman to pay for his mother's life. The woman was already in a mess at this time, seeing the child rushing towards her with a kitchen knife, she pushed her palms together, presumably the strength was great at that time, and her palms hit the child's face directly, and the child was also killed! The old man took his wife's words and continued: "After a while, I think someone went to the city to report that someone had killed someone, and a few people wearing yamen clothes took the woman away. At this time, Second Master Qiao also came with the officials, sat beside the corpses of his wife and son, and cried bitterly. After listening to the story of the old man and his wife, everyone was very depressed.
Especially when everyone thought that Gesang would see through the red dust and escape into the empty door for such a person. How unworthy!
Everyone followed the path pointed out by the old man and walked towards Qiao Er's house. When I walked to the door, I saw a man sitting on the threshold of the gate, holding a pot of old wine in his hand, drinking and singing nursery rhymes.
Ran Er stepped forward first and said, "May I ask you are Second Master Qiao, right?" The man looked up at Ran'er, took a sip of wine, pointed at Qin'er and the others with his finger and said, "Brother, you are so powerful, you actually have five women!" After speaking, he staggered to his feet and gave Ran'er a thumbs up in appreciation......
