Li Sanjian has been really depressed these days, the reason is the death of Elder Chen and others, and more than ten people committed suicide together, which made Li Sanjian blame himself in his heart.

It is understood that Guojiazhuang's father and son are not good things on weekdays, bullying the people and bullying the weak, which can be described as being rich and unkind.

But for the sake of Guo's father and son, in order to find out the case, Elder Chen and others were involved, and then they committed suicide together.

If it weren't for Li Sanjian's thorough investigation of this case, maybe they would still be alive in this world, Li Sanjian was extremely sad and incomprehensible about this.

In fact, Li Sanjian also understood in his heart that Elder Chen and the others were indeed guilty, and their charges were not light.

For them, death can also be said to be deserved, but after all, this is more than a dozen lives, so that Li Sanjian has never been able to forgive himself.

Is it worth it to do this for the sake of Guo's father and son? Is it necessary at all? These days, Li Sanjian has always asked himself this way.

"Jian'er!" After Fu Erniang listened, she looked at Li Sanjian's ears and said: "My mother is illiterate and doesn't understand the big truth, but my mother understands one thing, that is, she has a clear conscience." ”

"A clear conscience?" Li Sanjian groaned.

"Well, with a clear conscience, no debts to others." Fu Erniang nodded and said: "Our Li family has lived a hard time in the past, but my mother and your father have never owed a debt to others, even if we are forced by life to raise some debts, but we will pay it back soon, even if we don't eat or drink, we will never pay it back or die, so although my mother is poor, she has a clear conscience." Jian'er, what my mother means when she says this is that as long as you have a clear conscience, you just have to do some things, so why care a lot? ”

"That's what my mother said." Cai Rongxue also nodded when she heard this: "Officials, you are officials, and they are thieves, since ancient times, officials and thieves have not been separated." It is a matter of course for officials to catch thieves, and you are just doing your duty, and it is their business for them to commit suicide, what does it have to do with officials? The sins they have committed are so great that it may be a relief to die at this time. ”

"Mother, Xue'er, you are talking about it." Li Sanjian nodded again and again when he heard this.

If Elder Chen and the others fall into the hands of the government, there will be no good fruit for them to eat, no matter how merciful Li Sanjian is, he will not be able to exonerate them, and he will eventually die a dead end, and he will die a miserable death.

"Death is sometimes light... If this happens to them, Abba will cast them into a dungeon and be tortured to death. Wang Wen suddenly spoke.

Li Sanjian looked at Cai Rongxue and Wang Wen in a daze.

Who am I marrying two? One is more reasonable than the other, and one is more than the other... Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

The lord of the Li family has a family law and lynching, and the lynching is extremely cruel, and even the government cannot restrain them.

Although Wang Wen is a woman, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she knows some about these things.

"What are you watching me do? Isn't it just a few thieves who died? Officers and soldiers catch thieves like you, so what kind of thieves do you catch? Do you need to sigh like that? It's a big holiday.,It's made everyone feel bad.。。。 ”

Wang Wen, like Li Sanjian, is a half-Li and half-Han person, from his father, he should be the Li family, but since she was a child, her mother taught her with the etiquette of the Han family, and Wang Wen has an introverted personality and is more gentle, so she rarely talks to Li Sanjian like this on weekdays.

As Wang Wen and Li Sanjian have been concubines for a long time, and Li Sanjian is more amiable on weekdays, he rarely gets angry with his wife and concubine, so the two talk more casually.

However, at this time, under Li Sanjian's bull's eye, Wang Wen said more and more quietly, until she became silent.

"Haha!" Li Sanjian saw Wang Wen's flustered appearance, so he smiled and said: "Mother, Xue'er, and Wen'er are all right, but I am too heavy-hearted and too forward-looking." ”

Li Sanjian then reached out and squeezed Wang Wen's somewhat cold little hand under the small hand, to show that he didn't care.

"Why is it so cold?" Li Sanjian rubbed his hands and instructed Zhai Liu, who was waiting in the outhouse, and the others: "Old man, come in with another pot of coal." ”

"Yes, Xianggong." Zhai Liu answered in the outhouse.

The officials of the Song Dynasty were well treated, and even the refined charcoal for heating in winter was rewarded by the imperial court. . .

Another pot of coals was added to the house, and Li Sanjian and the others immediately felt much warmer.

At this time, Fu Erniang, Li Sanjian and others in the house were sitting on the fire pit, Fu Erniang was sitting at one end of the small one, Cai Rongxue and Wang Wen were sitting at the other end, and Cai Yingxue took Li Nan to the street to see the excitement.

Li Sanjian ignored the white eyes of Cai Rongxue and Wang Wen, and said with a smile after squeezing between the two: "I affected everyone's mood for the holiday, but I have compensation." ”

"Compensation? What compensation? Wang Wen also felt that she was sitting next to Li Sanjian, and she felt warmer on her body, so she asked sideways next to Li Sanjian.

It's just that Wang Wen rubbed Li Sanjian one after another, which made Li Sanjian's heart swell with a nameless fire, but in front of his mother, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to endure it and said embarrassedly: "Compensation is not anything, but a game." ”

"Huh? Game? Third brother, tell me what game it is? When Wang Wen heard that it was a game, she was immediately interested, so she grabbed Li Sanjian's arm and asked, and now she almost threw herself into Li Sanjian's arms...

Although Wang Wen is already Li Sanjian's concubine and is already a woman, after all, she is not yet twenty years old, she is still a girl, young and playful, this is nature, whether it is male or female, and it is really boring and tight at home on weekdays, so when I heard that it was a game, I was immediately happy and excited.

"This is it." Li Sanjian took out a small package from his arms, opened it with a smile and said.

There is a wooden chessboard in the package, but what surprises Fu Erniang, Cai Rongxue, and Wang Wen is not this chessboard, but the many colorful glass beads in the package, one by one, which is crystal clear, which makes people love it.

At this moment, even Fu Erniang was interested, and asked with a smile: "Jian'er, tell me quickly, what is this?" ”

"Mother, this game is called 'Checkers'." Li Sanjian replied with a smile as he placed the glass beads on the hexagons on the chessboard.

"Is 'checkers' a type of Go?" Cai Rongxue asked while student Li Sanjian placed the beads.

Of course, the daughter of the Zaizhi family has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but the so-called checkers mentioned by Li Sanjian are unheard of by Cai Rongxue, and of course she has never seen them.

"Is Go like this?" Li Sanjian took advantage of the fact that the old lady's attention was on the chessboard, reached out and secretly pinched it on Cai Rongxue's fuller and fullest moon and said with a smile.

Cai Rongxue suddenly stretched out her fingers and stabbed the back of Li Sanjian's hand with her nails as if she had been electrocuted.

"As the name suggests, Go is to win by winning, while checkers is to win by jumping." Li Sanjian then said.

Li Sanjian said that, his Go level is not as good as Cai Rongxue, just a glimpse or two, just a beginner.

"Jumping to win? Is that how it jumps? Wang Wen picked up a red bead and put it in the small hole on the chessboard and asked.

"Clever!" Li Sanjian praised: "That's it, but since it's a game, since it's a 'checkers', of course it has its rules, guess?" ”

"You don't sell Guanzi, and tell me how to play?" Fu Erniang glanced at Li Sanjian and said.

"Haha, the rules are like this... Li Sanjian then explained the rules of checkers.

The rules are very simple, as soon as you learn it, checkers is suitable for all ages, after tea and dinner,

"This game can be played by up to six people." Li Sanjian said: "Don't underestimate this little 'checkers', the knowledge in it is huge, there are the techniques of dividing troops and attacking together, the art of combining vertical and horizontal, and so on. ”

"We are all women, what are you talking about the art of war?" Fu Erniang suddenly cried and laughed when she heard this.

Fu Erniang knew that Li Sanjian had nothing to do recently and read the book of war, but he actually talked about the art of war in front of them? After talking for a long time, Fu Erniang didn't understand.

"Uh... Li Sanjian said embarrassedly: "But every game has to have a lottery. ”

"What kind of head?" Cai Rongxue asked.

"This... The loser will have to drink! Li Sanjian wanted to say that he would use some copper coins as a color head, but his mother Fu Erniang would definitely agree, so Li Sanjian changed his words and said that he would use drinking as a color head.

"Drink it, who is afraid of you? Come on, daughters-in-law, let's win him together. Fu Erniang said with a grin.

How can a man who has worked all year round not drink some wine? Drink some wine to relieve fatigue, go out and hurt your body, etc., so Fu Erniang not only has a lot of alcohol, but it is not low, even higher than Li Sanjian's amount of alcohol.

Li Sanjian suddenly cried and laughed when he heard this, Fu Erniang said that he didn't understand the art of war, but he immediately used the technique of combining vertical and horizontal, which is the best strategy to resist the strong with the weak...

"Quick, start, start! I'll jump first, I'll jump first! Wang Wen looked impatient.

"Okay, okay, you first, you first." Li Sanjian said with a smile.

The first move has the advantage of being the first to win people, and the last move will also be the last to strike, which is the beauty of checkers.

So Li Sanjian's family launched a fierce "fight" around the checkers board, at the beginning, Li Sanjian made a lot of clever moves, won one after another, won laughing, did not dare to force his mother to drink, but forced Cai Rongxue and Wang Wen to drink a few cups, but Fu Erniang and the other three were not fools, but they were smart tight, and after gradually becoming familiar, they jointly killed Li Sanjian with a falling flower, which was like earth.

Li Nan and Cai Yingxue were overjoyed when they came back, and immediately joined the battle group, and at the same time, Cai Yingxue and Li Nan were confused by Li Sanjian to join several parties, and the situation immediately took a sharp turn, and Li Sanjian occupied a lot of advantages.

However, although the field was intense, the Winter Solstice Festival in Li Sanjian's house was extremely lively at this time, and everyone was noisy and laughing.

"Old lady, father-in-law, old... Too... The master is here... At this moment, the old man Zhai Liu in the house ran into the report out of breath.
