This commotion, Zhang Jialin's master and servant had already woken up, seeing Qian Wugua's face full of embarrassment, Zhang Jialin still held back her laughter, but Chun Xing couldn't help it, giggled, fortunately she was still young, although her voice was shrill, everyone didn't care.

was made a little embarrassed by this trouble, the young woman and the money gourd were a little embarrassed, especially the money gourd, who became a little white face when she was old, and she was even more depressed. But look at the little guy's tiger head, he is old and childless, faintly, a tenderness quietly rose, and secretly thought, the little lady was widowed at a young age, and the orphan and widow were really a little pitiful.

With this thought, he felt more and more pity for the little fellow, and handed over all the beef in his hand, and did not speak to the young woman, but said to the little fellow, "Hungry, give, eat, if it is not enough, I will give it to you." ”

The little guy was really hungry, took the beef and gobbled it up, the young woman raised her hand, I don't know what to think, and put it down, but she glanced at the money gourd with a lot of resentment, her eyes were shining, there were hidden tears flashing, and her mouth was chattering: "The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, since you have eaten this uncle's beef, you must remember to repay others in the future." ”

She is a sensible and backbone, but Ergou is too young to pay attention to her thoughts, and said vaguely while munching on beef: "Mother, didn't you say that beef is not delicious, but the cakes are delicious, why do I think beef is much better than cakes?" ”

In a word, the young woman's tears, which she could still hold back, could no longer be held back, and fell down.

If it weren't for the lack of money, what mother would make up such a lie?

People were still looking at it with a smile, and their expressions were also heavy at the moment, Zhang Jialin's master and servant were sad when they heard it, their eyes couldn't help but turn red, and they handed all the beef in their hands to Ergou. Qian Wugua was fast, dragged to him, knocked on the back and poured water, and complained in his mouth:

"Eat slowly, what are you afraid of, and no one will rob you!"

The young woman looked at it, and stopped talking, but her vigilant heart was completely relaxed.

The wood shed was leaking everywhere, the dim oil lamp flame was dancing, and the light was getting darker and darker. Zhang Jialin's master and servant squinted for a while, and was already sobered up by this trouble, and while distributing the remaining steamed buns to everyone to eat, she talked with everyone.

The old man and the old lady were grateful for the steamed buns, but the young woman refused, but her expression had already eased.

The two sellers of medicinal herbs leaned against the corner of the wall with their arms in their arms and did not move, the lights were dim, and I don't know if they were asleep.

Listening to everyone's words, it turned out that being able to live in the firewood shed was different from Zhang Jialin, they didn't pay for it, but the owner of the store saw that they were pitiful and took the initiative to let them in. No wonder they are all old, weak, sick and disabled people, who want to come to the shopkeeper is kind and shrewd, and does not want to do good deeds, but to cause trouble for himself - there are too many poor people, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven, and people are going to be hungry, but they can do everything.

Later, the four people were all from Tianjin Wei, and there was no disaster last year, but listening to the meaning of their words, under the spur of the examination law, those officials had to peel down layer by layer in order to complete the assessment, and the burden of the common people was too heavy, and they paid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the remaining food was not enough for a year to live. Young people have to farm, it is the busy season of farming, naturally it is impossible to come out to beg for food, and the rest of them, the old blocks, can't help anything, but are burdens, so they come out to beg.

The two timid women before were even more miserable, the land was gone, and they were separated from their own men, and they had become out-and-out out-and-out outcasts.

Zhang Jialin couldn't help but be curious, and asked her where she came from, at this moment the second dog was already full and fell asleep in Qian Wugua's arms, the young woman glanced at Qian Wugua, hesitated for a moment, and finally completely let down her guard, and whispered her origin.

It turns out that she is still an identity, her husband is the county of Zhongxiu County, Guangning, last year just made up for the vacancy by the lifter, who knows that it is too upright, as soon as she takes office, she is not in agreement with the county magistrate Deng Xiu, Deng Xiu in order to tie the knot, privately send a poll tax, levy 80,000 taels of silver, 50,000 gifts, 30,000 self-collection, and was caught by her husband Geng Zhong.

"That night, Deng Xiu sent someone to invite her late husband into the house, and when she sent her back, she came back with him, saying that he was drunk, and I was a little strange at that time, my first husband didn't drink well, he rarely drank alcohol, and he didn't look down on Deng Xiu, how could he be drunk? But at the time, I was still casual and didn't think too much about it. Who knew that in the middle of the night, the extemplar woke up screaming, vomited several mouthfuls of black blood, and died of anger without leaving a word. On the day of the funeral, Deng Xiu came to the door, overheard the conversation between the long and the long, and only then did he know that the first husband was actually poisoned by Deng Xiu and the long follower, for fear that he would stab the matter of the poll tax to the court...... Although the first husband was just a lifter, the main examiner was Lord Shen Li......"

There was a sentence she didn't say, when she saw that the blood spit out by her husband was black, she felt that it was wrong, and first hid the bloody clothes.

"And then?" Zhang Jialin was shocked and moved when she heard it, and couldn't help asking, others also listened with their ears pricked up, but Qian Wugua closed his eyes, and said in his heart, do you still need to ask, the officials protect each other, it must be in Guangning Wei to sue for nothing, this is planning to enter Beijing to sue the emperor, orphans and widows, pitiful, can come here, I don't know how much I suffered?

The money is good, the young woman really suffered a lot, and sued Guangningwei, but she didn't expect that Wu Xiu's sister was actually the concubine of Guangningwei's commander, and was falsely accused of seducing * the murderer who lured the man to kill her husband, and was directly imprisoned, if it weren't for the kindness of the old man in charge, he would have lost his life directly, and he was sent to the field to crawl out of the pile of dead people by pretending to be dead, and only when he came out did he know that the second dog had been sold to traffickers by his own long-term followers, in order to take revenge, she used her hue as a lure, and took advantage of the long-term follower's defenselessness, and poked him in the heart with scissors more than ten times, After killing Changsui, he ran out of Zhong Xiu overnight.

The bloody garment was hidden under the shrine in the house, and it was not used at all. She was going to enter Beijing, but she didn't dare to take it with her for fear of losing it.

It is also in line with the fate of the second dog and her mother and son, and she actually met a trafficker in a mountain temple, she repeated her old trick, killed another person, and finally rescued the second dog.

Although her narration is simple, it is still thrilling to listen to everyone's ears. Qian Wugua couldn't help but think of Xu Hai's woman Wang Cuiqiao, who was also a strong woman, and when she couldn't take revenge on Xu Hao, she simply committed suicide by throwing herself into the water.

When Wang Cuiqiao died, he was at such an age, right?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask the young woman: "The enemy is powerful, you led the second dog into Beijing to sue the emperor, aren't you not afraid at all?" ”

The young woman smiled sadly, gritted her teeth and said: "I have blood in my hand, although I kill the person who should be killed, after all, it is inconsistent with the daily teachings of my late husband, and I betrayed my hue and defiled my first husband, but it is a big revenge that has not been avenged, and the second dog is too young, so I can't bear the humiliation and steal my life." This time I entered Beijing, first find a good person to settle the two dogs, I will go to beat the drum, the big deal is to die, I don't believe it, this world, there is really no place to reason. ”

"Drum on the drum? If you are not guilty, you will be scourged with thirty lashes, can you bear it? Zhang Jialin exclaimed.

The young woman gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but are you still afraid of being whipped?" ”

"I'm afraid that the magistrate will kill you directly if he uses the money, and he won't allow you to speak at all." Qian Wugua said, glanced at Zhang Jialin as he spoke, thought for a while, and said, "Do you believe us?" If you want to believe us, don't beat the drums first, follow us, and sooner or later you will get revenge......"

"You guys?" The young woman's eyes swept over Qian Wugua and Zhang Jialin Chunxing one by one, and said, "Forget it, I know that you are all good people, so I don't want to bother you." In this way, if you really want to help me, adopt Ergou, so that he can have a full meal, and don't let him starve to death! ”

"Look down on people, right, my young master is ......" Feeling the young woman's distrustful gaze, Chun Xing said urgently, but before she finished speaking, she was dragged by Zhang Jialin, and swallowed back the words to her mouth.

The young woman didn't take it seriously, stopped talking, leaned against the wall to think about her thoughts, and everyone fell silent, only the lonely lamp was like a bean, and she kept dancing in the night wind.
