Volume 2 Song of the Dynasty Chapter 101 Human life is a matter of heaven
Perhaps because it is closer to the sea than Jingshi City, the nights in Lin'an County are much cooler. The whistling sea breeze came from afar, stirring up the otherwise peaceful night. The wind only came here, because the majestic Taicang Mountain stood in front of the Jingshi City, waiting quietly like a father. There are also a few wisps that have passed through, but they only eliminate a few traces of summer heat for the huge Jingshi City.
On this side of Taicang Mountain, the old locust tree at the entrance of the county was blown rustling, and the old yellow dog of the farmhouse whined a few times and lay back to the door, and the wooden sign hanging on the eaves kept hitting the old man beside him, and the sound was particularly disturbing in the third watch. Moving, noisy, quiet, and silent, it seemed to be playing a song in this night, low and compassionate.
This night should have been empty, but in several places, it was not peaceful.
Jumping out of the spring flowers and autumn moon from the embroidery room of Liu Sisi, it is a mountain road with no people, not relying on the mountain, but close to the mountain. In the dark night, even a martial artist with strong martial arts would not choose this path to death, of course, Li Xiao did not have the confidence to go here. There are no civilians living on the edge of the spring flowers and autumn moons, and the wide road is very easy to walk, and there is no need to jump around and do some bells and whistles.
At this hour, Yang Gongzi has already fallen asleep with the girl in the spring flowers and autumn moon, and Chang Laifu can also get one or two.
There was no one around, and there was no light, even the crescent moon on the edge of the sky was shy to hide, and the starlight was vague, it was the darkness of the night. If it weren't for Li Xiao remembering the way he came, and relying on the big eyes of Carslan who had been trained by Roma, he really wouldn't be able to walk freely in this dark place.
The sea breeze continued to blow, raising a few wisps of his sideburns, slightly tired. He didn't know why he wanted to save Wang's mother and daughter instead of Liu Sisi, maybe his brain burned out. Saving Wang's mother and daughter is equivalent to opposing Yang Gongzi and Yang Zhuang, and it is also a direct indication that he rejected the latter's solicitation, which is definitely an unwise choice, of course, this is not his style. There is a stable and good life to enjoy, why should you have nothing to get into trouble, lie on a warm bed and sleep peacefully, and why bother with this idle business.
Self-seeking hardship, nothing to do.
"Ugh." In the quiet night, Li Xiao, who walked to the corner of the street, sighed. The night breeze was a little cooler, which made him, who was already thinly dressed, walk on thin ice, and sneeze a little carelessly, and his body trembled a few times.
After all, the night in the north is not the south, and when it enters the third watch, it is autumn, and with the whistling sea breeze, it is late autumn.
"Childe." Zhou Shuyi appeared next to Li Xiao, he came out of the dark alley on one side, with a long shirt in his hand, and he also changed at this time, it was a night robe. But there is no style of Li Xiao.
Putting on the long shirt brought by joining the army last week, it was instantly warm. But the wind continued, and the two of them said as they walked,
Like Liu Sisi, what Zhou wanted to talk about at that time was the matter of Wang's mother and daughter. It was also by chance that he heard that Yang Zhuang would not let go of the poor mother and daughter, and the grass should be eradicated, and the root should be eradicated as soon as possible. In the middle of the night today, that is, around the third watch, Yang Gongzi will send someone to the Wang family house to deal with the aftermath. Of course, there is also an important news, after the Yamen trial today, the Lin'an County Ya sent all the residents on the edge of Wang's house out, saying that there was something important in the next county.
What's the matter? didn't say anything, but in the evening, these people all left Lin'an County, leaving only Wang's mother and daughter.
Listening to Zhou Shuyi's words, Li Xiao's face was solemn. Although the people will think that this arrangement in Lin'an County is a matter of the official family, it seems that others are not like this, and they are going to do something to the Wang family, it seems that this time Yang Gongzi is ready. It is natural to be like this, otherwise once a trace of clues is revealed, then their arrangements in Taicang Eight County for many years will be ruined.
"Childe, are we going to take care of this?" Seeing Li Xiao appear, Zhou Shuyi's heart was somewhat bottomed. In the spring flowers and autumn moon, there were Yang Gongzi and the two of them there, and it was inconvenient to talk, so he went back first, changed into night clothes, and at the same time asked the officials of the same class to watch the point, and waited until the tail sent by Yang Gongzi left, and then took advantage of the night to wait in a hidden place arranged by Li Xiao on the carriage before. originally thought that the latter was unwilling to take care of this matter, but in the end, when he saw Li Xiao appear, he naturally had mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew that Li Xiao belonged to the kind of person who could hide from trouble, and things like today's Wang family's mother and daughter would not normally be looked at, but this time it was unexpected.
Li Xiao didn't speak, nodded lightly, and walked briskly towards the Wang family's mansion. I can't walk at night, so I have to walk. He also thought a lot along the way, and at the same time asked his heart more than once: "Why do you care about this." Is the woman in her arms no longer fragrant, or has she really been idle lately and has nothing to do? ”
yes, why bother. Xu can't stand Yangzhuang's style, a good family, not to mention being cut off, and they have to be wiped out. Young Master Yang, they inevitably went too far. Chang Laifu is also, in front of the county yatang, right and wrong, reversing black and white. With official authority, a clear case turned into a ball of paste, and sprinkled with a handful of sesame seeds, making the already mushy even darker.
He didn't want to care, because this was in Lin'an County, this was in Taicang Mountain, of course, even in Jingshi and Suzhou, he would put on a look of not caring about himself, it can be said that he was too cautious, but he was finally reborn in a lifetime, and he got involved in things that had nothing to do with him, and he got into trouble that caused him a headache, so why should he suffer.
But this was only what he used to think, and now he has changed, whether it is his mind or something else. For the first time I saw Chu Chu in Yizhou, it was out of pity, but I was dissatisfied with the so-called slavery system, so that I came to Jingshi and invited the emperor to go to Chu Chu's slavery many times, of course, I also wanted to break out of the so-called slavery. For Gao Changyu, who has repeatedly blackmailed him for money, he will also reach out to help, and the original intention of the tofu business is also to let His Royal Highness the county lord of the Yuwang Mansion be able to do things in peace, without having to touch porcelain on the street.
For Zhou Joining, who should have lived in a mess, he also used some conspiracy to pull him into the gang, and Zhou was really not happy to join the army at first, but now it seems that he is quite concerned, such as today's Wang, who is more nosy than tonight. For Wang's mother and daughter, it is respect for life.
Everyone in this world exists as a human being. He Li Xiao is a coward, afraid of the torture of illness and sky-high medical expenses, and chose to commit suicide, but the Wang family still has a glimmer of hope for life, and they are eager to live, even if there is no man in the family. But Yang Gongzi and they want to easily erase the lives of others because of a trivial matter, a superfluous thought, why?
Is it because they are officials and the Wang family is a people? Could it be that because Yang Zhuang is the master of Taicang Eight Counties, he can act recklessly? The reason why life is life is because it has the value of its existence, and the ants are still stealing life, and the remnant deer is not seeking death. He Li Xiao is not a saint, but he is also willing to do his best to retain a copy of the clarity of the previous life in this absurd world.
I don't know how long I walked, but I finally arrived at the place. The two of them stood at the entrance of the street, and saw a courtyard inside from a distance, flashing with fire, but there was no flame, it seemed that they had not yet started, and it was estimated that the people sent by Yang Gongzi had just arrived.
Zhou Senjun is also a martial artist, so the two went around in a half circle, found a relatively hidden place and went to the roof, hiding in the dark to observe the situation below.
Just as Li Xiao thought, the talents sent by Yang Gongzi had just arrived, and there were five people in total, all of whom were dressed in black. The second stood beside Wang's mother and daughter, holding a long knife in one hand and a torch in the other. The blade reflects the firelight, and it can't help but seep people. There are also two people standing on both sides of the barbarian gate, also with a knife and a torch. And there is another person standing under the barbarian door, with his hands in front of him, a long black knife in his arms, wearing a hat on his head, he can't see his face clearly, and he feels that this person should be the one who emitted a dangerous aura when he first appeared in the spring flowers and autumn moon.
Li Xiao and the others were far away, and they couldn't hear what the people in Yangzhuang below were saying, only to see one person standing by the barbarian door pulling out his long knife and walking towards Wang's mother and daughter, while the other person walked towards Wang's house, looking like he was going to set fire.
"Wang, don't blame our brothers, if you hadn't gone to the county government to complain, you wouldn't have ended up like this." The man who stepped forward with the knife had a playful face, and there was no trace of pity in his eyes, "Be a smart person in the next life, there are some things, it is better to hide or stay away." ”
Wang held Wang Yaya tightly in his arms, sobbing in a low voice, and his weak body trembled. She had begged for mercy a long time ago, but it was of no use to any of these people, whom she did not know. A few people broke in so suddenly, and rudely took her and Wang Yaya out of the room, laughing loudly when she begged for mercy, and two of them even stepped forward to punch and kick, venting their grievances that they had no rest tonight. At this time, she already knew her fate, but she didn't want Wang Yaya to live, because she also knew that her daughter's only hope for survival was only one, and that was the most unfriendly one for women.
Looking at her woman's young and ignorant little face, she cried and laughed. The poor child only saw the world a few times, and then he died because of himself. She blames herself, but nothing can be undone. She stretched out her hand to wipe the stain off Wang Yaya's face, but the more she wiped it, the more dirty it became, and finally smiled sadly and said, "Yaya, do you hate your mother?" ”
Wang Yaya shook her head ignorantly, now she doesn't know what hatred is, and she doesn't know why her mother is crying, and why these uncles around her appear. She missed her father very much, but he didn't show up for days.
"Okay, if it's useless, just leave it on the road." The knife hand raised the long knife in his hand with an indifferent expression.
"Childe, there are a lot of people down there, why don't you let our brothers come, so we can take care of them." Zhou Shuyi frowned tightly, two to five, he can deal with three or four, but the person under the door is the key, although Li Xiao has some ability, but saving people is small, and the latter can't make a mistake.
As soon as the words fell, before he could speak again, he heard a crisp sound, and Li Xiao beside him stepped on the eaves, so he only threw down the sentence "Human life is a matter of heaven" and jumped down directly.
