Chapter 161: It Was Him
When several men in strong suits lifted the lid of the coffin, they could hear the sound coming from under the old woman's body, and several people were also people who were used to seeing big scenes, and they were not afraid of the old woman's miserable white dead face, and they carried the old woman out of it with their hands wrapped in sackcloth and threw it to the ground. Several pieces of silver jewelry that the old woman had placed with her were scattered on the ground with a clink.
Sun Buer was very angry when he saw this, if it weren't for the two people in front of him holding a bright long knife in their hands, he would have the intention of rushing forward.
The young man stepped forward to look into the coffin, and saw that the bottom of the coffin was empty, and the sound of the knock was also dense at this time, but the sound came from under the coffin.
This time there must be another space under the coffin. Several men in strong suits took out their long knives and carefully pried them up along the edge of the wooden plank at the bottom of the coffin, and the two of them carefully lifted them together, and everyone was taken aback when they saw the scene inside.
It turned out that the coffin was very cleverly designed, divided into two layers, the upper layer placed the body of the old woman, and the lower layer hid a young woman in brocade. But seeing that the woman's whole body was tied with hemp rope, the hemp rope was tied very tightly, and the woman in the brocade dress was dressed thickly in winter, and there were almost binding marks in several places, and the woman stuffed a cloth ball in her mouth, and she couldn't speak, but she was unwilling, and she was kicking the wooden board with her bound legs, and then there was a knocking sound that outsiders heard.
The moment she saw the sun, the woman suddenly saw the light, her eyes closed reflexively, and then she opened them and looked at the young man who was coming over, her eyes were filled with tears.
The young man saw the woman's appearance clearly, but it was a rare beauty, although he was frightened at this time, his face was haggard, the pear blossoms brought rain, and the face stained with dust and tears not only did not look dirty, but there was another weak beauty, even if the young boy himself was a woman, he couldn't help but have the urge to take her in his arms and comfort her. This was hidden at the bottom of the coffin and brought out of Zhenyuan City, naturally it was the missing Feng Suqin.
The young man immediately ordered someone to rescue Feng Suqin, protect him, and looked at the eldest prince Lou who had retreated to the middle of the guards, his face was full of anger, and he sneered and said: "What an aunt is out of the funeral, a good one is not deeply emotional, it turns out that she is a hidden daughter and is doing evil." Come on, kill them all! ”
All the men should shout, and they surrounded the front, and several guards around Lou Dagongzi firmly guarded Lou Chuan in the middle at this time. Seeing that a scuffle is about to break out.
"Wait!" The eldest prince of Lou said loudly, "This prince is the eldest prince of Loujiabao in the northwest. ”
"So what?" The young man snorted coldly.
"Since this act has been revealed, the son will naturally admit it. It's just that you have to think clearly about the consequences of being embarrassed with my Loujiabao. If you kill me today, it's okay, if not, these people around me are all the master guards of Loujiabao, and if you want to get out of the whole body, you can't do it, but if you fight to break through the siege and go back to report the news, it is not difficult. ”
When the young man heard this, he was disdainful. At this time, the strange robe man's expression moved, as if he remembered something, he leaned into the young man's ear and whispered: "Miss, Loujiabao's power in the northwest is not trivial, and the governor also intends to make friends, and it is really inappropriate to make enemies with the Lou family at this time." ”
When the young man heard this, his brows furrowed, if it was just the name of Loujiabao, the young man would naturally not be afraid, but if the governor also intended to make friends, it would not be good to be an enemy of the Lou family. For a while, I couldn't make up my mind.
"Childe, help me." At this time, Feng Suqin, who hid behind the young man, spoke up, she was closed in the coffin that is still disgusting to this day, from the early morning to the present, she can't see the light, she can't speak, and she has to endure the rancid smell from time to time, and she naturally hates the eldest son of the Loujia Castle, if the young son in front of him refuses to save himself, and then falls into the hands of the eldest son of the Lou family, he will be humiliated, and life is better than death. Seeing that the young boy was hesitant, he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly pleaded.
When the young man heard this, he thought of the eldest son of the Lou family treating such a weak woman like this, and he was also extremely angry in his heart, although he could not be the enemy of the Lou family head-on because of the will of the Duke, but Feng Suqin was determined to save it.
The young man snorted coldly and said, "Since you are from Loujiabao, then this son has the right to let you go today." It's just that this girl is going to be taken away. Does Lou Gongzi have anything to say? ”
The shape shì is stronger than the person. At present, there are many people on the other side, and Lou Chuan can still have any ideas, so he has to admit that he is unlucky, and he arched his hand and said: "Lou has nothing to say." ”
The young man didn't look at the boat anymore after hearing this, and pulled Feng Suqin back to the black carriage, and all the men shouted, got on the horses one after another, and escorted the black carriage out of the woods and left.
In the woods, Sun Buer cried and ran to the old woman's body, and saw that his old lady was thrown on the grass like a bag of garbage, covered with dirt and grass clippings. Thinking of this qiē is because he covets the silver of Lou Dagongzi, which has caused so many twists and turns, Lou Dagongzi He dare not blame him, others can't blame him, he can only blame himself, and he pounced on the old woman at the moment and cried loudly.
"Mother, the child is not filial......"
Seeing that her husband was crying so sadly, Sun Buer's mother-in-law also stepped forward and sobbed in a low voice.
The other neighbors who saw them off, the guys from the Lou family, and the musicians who played the lock na, saw this scene, but none of them felt sympathy, and stood coldly and watched the couple cry loudly.
Lou Gongzi's cold eyes stared at the group of strong men in the distance, until everyone rushed out of the woods, and no longer saw the figure, he retracted his gaze, thinking that he had worked hard to plan a battle, and the success was successful, not only failed to hold the beauty, but let people rob it. When I came back to my senses, I heard that Sun Buer and his wife were still crying there and grabbing the ground, which annoyed people, and couldn't help yelling: "Stop howling! ”
This roar interrupted the crying of Sun Buer and his wife, and the couple looked at Lou Gongzi with fear on their faces, like a pair of poor quails under an eagle, and they didn't even dare to come out.
Mr. Lou glanced at the two of them resentfully, waved his big hand, and led his subordinates to ignore Sun Buer and his wife, and walked out of the woods without stopping.
As soon as Lou Dagongzi and the others left, the rest of the neighbors, musicians and others looked left and right, and saw that even the Lou guy who arranged to carry the coffin did not leave a single one, and hurriedly followed suit, wiped the soles of his feet, and walked cleanly.
In the blink of an eye, Sun Fuji and his wife were left in the woods, an open black coffin, and the remains of an old woman, covered with fallen leaves. Sun Buer and his wife came back to their senses, looked left and right, and there was no one in the room, and they couldn't help but feel sad, hugging their heads and crying.
In the middle of the night, the Xufu compound in Zhenyuan City was brightly lit. Two teams of Liang soldiers were guarding the front yard, and the guys of the Lou family were constantly caught in by the five flowers.
Xu Liang sat in the main hall with a calm face, Dai Yingying and Tietou stood solemnly left and right, Huang Ziren and Xing Zhongshan sat on both sides, and there were two rows of Liang soldiers standing quietly on both sides of the main hall.
Lou Ji, the chief shopkeeper of Lou Ji Grain Store, and Wu Side, the second shopkeeper, were tied behind their backs and escorted in by two Liang soldiers. Lou Zhi saw Xu Liang in the hall, broke free from the soldiers in charge, rushed forward, and shouted: "Xu Liang, my Lou family and your Xu Mansion have always been well water and not river water, why did you arrest the old man here?!" ”
Xu Liang looked at the shopkeeper of Lou Ji Grain Store with a lot of eyebrows and beard under the hall with great interest, and listened to this old man shouting so righteously, if it wasn't for the gambler Hu Chenggong who saw it with his own eyes, he was afraid that he would really suspect that he had caught the wrong person. Unexpectedly, this old guy wanted to quibble when he was dying, so he couldn't help but be annoyed, and shouted angrily: "Old immortal, don't pretend to be confused in front of Lao Tzu." Let me ask you, where did you arrest my wife? ”
"What, what madame?" Lou Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Lord Xu's question is really strange, your wife is gone, what does it have to do with the old man?" ”
"Less garlic!" The iron head on the side said angrily: "My young lady was caught in a carriage yesterday, and someone saw the carriage drive into the courtyard of your house. ”
Lou Zhi was shocked, Lou Dagongzi's subordinates started quickly, he knew, he couldn't imagine that such a fast speed would still be seen, he forcibly hid the panic in his heart, and said: "The old man has been a grain store shopkeeper in Zhenyuan for almost 20 years, and there are ten houses under his name, several of which have been abandoned for many years, and the old man has never seen any carriages enter the house." ”
"Hehe," laughed from the hall, "haha." ”
Lou Zhi looked up in surprise and saw Xu Liang sitting there in the hall laughing lightly, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"Hehehaha."
"What are you laughing at?" Lou Zhi said angrily.
Xu Liang stopped laughing, got up, walked in front of Lou Zhi, pulled Lou Zhi's collar, and said coldly: "I laugh at you old puppet who doesn't know whether to live or die, and you are still hard-mouthed when you die." Don't think that you are some kind of bullshit Loujiabao people, Lao Tzu will not dare to touch you, the person who dares to touch my Xu Liang, even if it is the king of heaven Lao Tzu, it will not work! Don't you say yes? Then I'll fight until you say it. ”
"You dare?!" Lou Zhi shouted angrily, "If you dare to touch the old man's hair, Lou Jiabao will not let you go!" ”
"Whew!" Xu Liang snorted, waved his hand and said, "Drag it out and fight!" ”
Two Liang soldiers dragged Lou Zhi out, and Lou Zhi shouted: "The surname is Xu, you, you are so bold, dare to move the old man...... Ah......h
A few sticks went down, and Lou Zhi screamed. In the final analysis, Lou Zhi is the big shopkeeper of Lou Ji Grain Store, and he has been pampered for many years, and he has long been hollowed out by wine, that is, he screams fiercely, and he can't stand any heavy punishment at all. The first two sticks went down, and the old man was still scolding wildly, and when the dozen sticks went down, the old man was so painful that he couldn't care about scolding, and screamed again and again, and after a few sticks, even the screams became weak.
Although no one asked him about the second shopkeeper in the hall, Wu Side, was sweating like rain, and his whole body was shaking like a pendulum. Xu Liang stood in the hall, as if he didn't see Wu Side, and listened to the sound of sticks outside the hall without saying a word.
Before long, the screams of the big shopkeeper outside the hall had stopped, and a Liang soldier ran into the hall to report: "General Qiyu, the prisoner has fainted if he can't bear the punishment." ”
Xu Liang pursed his lips disdainfully, waved his hand, and said, "Wake him up." After the soldiers withdrew, Xu Liang paced to Wu Side's side and said quietly: "Wu Er's shopkeeper, did you hear me?" Your big shopkeeper has fainted. Next, I want to ask you, do you know the whereabouts of my wife? I don't know if you have thought about suing me? ”
Xu Liang's voice was soft and slow, sounding like a heart-to-heart conversation with a good friend, but listening to Woodsted's ears was as terrifying as the voice of a ghost.
Wu Side's body trembled even more.
"Looks like you still haven't figured it out." Xu Liang said regretfully.
Wu Side knelt down in front of Xu Liang, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I said ......"
Waiting for Wu Side to tremble and tell how the eldest prince of Lou arrested Feng Suqin, and how he hid in the coffin of the funeral and transported him out of the city. Xing Zhongshan, Huang Ziren and others, who were originally sitting in the hall, stood up in surprise.
Xu Liang stared at Wu Side and asked through gritted teeth, "Is Lou Chuan, the eldest son of the Lou family, still in Zhenyuan City now?" ”
Wu Side shook his head and said, "The eldest prince went out of the city in the crowd of funerals during the day. ”
"Out of town?" Xu Liang took two steps back in shock and muttered.
Dai Yingying stepped forward and asked, "What does the eldest son of the Lou family look like?" ”
Wu Side glanced at her and said strangely: "Why don't you recognize the eldest prince?" The eldest prince has a peculiar appearance, and he is the most recognizable, and there is a dark red birthmark on the bridge of his nose, which is the size of a thumb, and he can be recognized at a glance. ”
Dai Yingying suddenly stayed in place. Xu Liang stepped forward and grabbed Wu Side's arm, and shouted with wide eyes, "What did you say?" Birthmark on the bridge of the nose? It turned out to be him! That bastard! ”
Xu Liang recalled that at the gate of the city in the morning, the man holding the coffin happened to have a dark red birthmark on the bridge of his nose.
