Chapter 91: The Root of the Bane

"Brother Hun, there are still five miles ahead of Yanji. This day is scorching, take a break in Yanji, and there are still twenty miles to Ezhou! ”

On the official road, five officials were galloping on horseback, and the leader was wearing the government's standard crewneck jersey, wearing a cross-legged head, a pair of brand-new red riding trousers, and a pair of fast boots with cowhide soles, looking very young. Although the four companions behind him also wore round-necked shirts and fishing uniforms, they were embroidered with the word Ying Feng on the front chest and back, with only a hat on their heads, half-worn soap-colored breeches on their legs, and bast shoes on their feet.

When he was galloping, a companion raised his voice to the leader: "Brother Hun, today is the August Festival, and I can't act when I get to Ezhou." The good end should do this unfortunate errand, twelve beams and pillars that have been hugging wood for a hundred years, so that I can wait where to find them. ”

The leader laughed, sat on the horse and turned around to point at the speaker with a horsewhip, and said: "So the bureau calls you sour, and you dare to understand the mystery?" Didn't Master Zhu say that if you can't find the beams and pillars, you will be fined 500 yuan if you have one less, and the twelve beams and pillars will only be 6,000 yuan. If our brothers do a good job in this transaction, Wanguan's wealth will not be a problem! ”

"Aye!" When the companion called Sour Big Boy heard this Hun brother's promise, he was shocked, and said: "I don't dare to think about the wealth of Wanguan, this time, if I can earn a hundred yuan to support my family, I will be content." ”

Brother Hun said, "What are you afraid of? I calculated, this time the wealth of Wanguan is only afraid that it will be difficult to run, as long as you work hard, I keep everyone has a thousand profits, how about it? ”

The four of them were all overjoyed when they heard it, and they also said in unison: "Brother Hun just commands!" ”

The five of them walked a few miles, and then they faintly saw that there were people on the side of the road, and they thought that this Yanji should have arrived. When he was walking, he suddenly found that there was a small courtyard not far from the road, and there was a giant tree in the courtyard that was afraid to be as high as four feet from the courtyard. How, this is the riches sent to the door, and go and see! ”

A companion took a look at the pergola and muttered, "This laurel tree is good, it is worth a hundred and ten dollars!" ”

Saying that the five people turned the horse's head, and went to this small courtyard, when they came to the front, there was a sudden river breeze blowing, and they smelled a strong fragrance of osmanthus, thinking that the laurel tree in this courtyard is still golden laurel, that is, August laurel, Brother Hun is even more happy, and jumped off the horse to bang the door when he came to the door: "Open the door!" Open the door! The official errand handles the case! ”

Beat more than a dozen times, there is an old man to answer the door, the courtyard door opened five people rushed in, that Hun brother around the courtyard of the laurel tree circle, even said good, then from the bosom took out a yellow seal paper and pasted it on the tree, only to see the seal paper written "Suzhou and Hangzhou should be sealed by the bureau" a few big characters, and the bottom is written how many small characters such as the bureau officer.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man hurriedly said: "A few officials and grandfathers, this laurel tree has been passed down for three generations in the family, but I don't dare to lose it, and I beg grandpa to raise his noble hand!" ”

Brother Hun sneered, looked at the courtyard pattern again, and saw that it was a brick, wood and earthen house for many years, but the roof was paved with new tiles less than three years old, so he had a plan in his heart: "It's easy to say!" Such a good uncle, if you move to Ezhou to sell, you can also buy hundreds of dollars, look at your family is also solid, if you can get a hundred dollars to eat wine with my brother, this emperor will borrow you for three years? ”

"Ahh A hundred? The old man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he knelt down without thinking about it, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Grandpa, please raise your noble hand, I am a small family, and I make some contemptuous weapons to make a living on weekdays, where can I get a hundred yuan of money, even ten times is difficult!" ”

When the sour companion heard this, he came up and kicked the old man down, and said viciously: "You old man doesn't know anything, but you know the truth of his sin, and this laurel tree is the bane of your family." Today, my brother sold an imperial seal with you for hundreds of dollars, which saved the lives of your family, and he dared to bargain. ”

After the old man was kicked down, he didn't know if he was short of breath or what, he immediately coughed violently, only to hear a woman in the room scream, so he pushed the door and ran out to help the old man.

This woman who rushed out is about two decades, although there is a woman's hair bun on the top of her head, her face is like a peach blossom, her neck is like a white jade, her willow eyebrows are thin with a pair of phoenix eyes that hook her soul, and the cherry cry is sad.

Suddenly, Brother Hun felt that the power of the desolation sealed in the ugly thing under his crotch was a little impatient, so he said with a lustful heart: "Ouch! I didn't expect that there was a little lady with such a posture in the old girl's family, and it didn't matter if she couldn't get the money, as long as the little lady was willing to have a happy life with me! ”

The old man coughed twice, and then said hurriedly: "Grandpa can't, the lady is the daughter-in-law of the old man, and she is pregnant!" ”

"Haha!" As soon as Brother Hun heard that it was not the daughter of the family, he was sure in his heart, and he grabbed the lady's hand in two steps, and said with a lewd smile: "I have seen many pretty girls in Hangzhou City, but I have not been happy with a pregnant lady, so I should try it as a fresh one today." ”

The old man eagerly came to hug Brother Hun'er's thigh, but he asked a companion with eyes to knock the short stick in his hand on the back of the old man's head and knocked him unconscious. Brother Hun, who was obscene, didn't care about it, gave a few companions a look, then covered the lady's mouth with one hand, and dragged her to the house.

However, after only a moment's effort, I heard a terrible howl, and then I saw the lady running out in disheveled clothes, but she turned her head and ran straight to her own stove. When the four companions in the courtyard were stunned, they saw Brother Hun stumbling out of the door with his lower body and pants, not only did he see blood in his crotch, but he also heard Brother Hun read something out of his mouth.

Immediately, I saw that the lady ran out with a firewood knife, and was about to cut Brother Hun with the knife, and a companion looked bad, so he took out the Pu knife and ran up and slashed at the neck, which immediately killed her.

When the remaining three looked at it, a clever one jumped up and went to the book to cut off the imperial seal, and shouted: "Go quickly!" Come on! ”

When even if two people stepped forward to set up Brother Hun and left, but when a few people rushed out of the courtyard gate, the companion who killed the lady with a knife rolled his eyes, turned around and came back, and stabbed the old man in the chest with a knife, but the old man who had fainted in the past woke up again under the stimulus, grabbed the hem of the companion's shirt and grabbed the knife with one hand, and after a stalemate for a few breaths, he opened his mouth and sprayed blood on the companion's body.

The companion was also ruthless, kicked the old man in front of the chest and pulled out the knife and turned around, this knife he really pierced the heart of the old man's left chest, he must not live, so he didn't notice that the old man ripped off a piece of cloth at the hem of his shirt.
