Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan rushed into the inner room, the second wife and the maids had already pulled the eldest lady who was out of control, and the third wife was busy helping Wang Yuehan, who was knocked to the ground, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her mouth.

Chen Jiyao, who was full of anger, and Wang County, who was dignified, suddenly arrived, and the people hurriedly bowed and retreated, the ground was sprinkled with broken porcelain and water stains, and the pear wood coffee table fell in the middle.

Wang Yuehan lay on the shoulder of the third lady and sobbed silently, her hair was messy, her left face was red and swollen, and she could vaguely see the handprints on her face and the bloodshot on the corners of her mouth. The eldest lady was pressed to the bed by the second wife and the fat woman of Steward Wang, still struggling and scolding.

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment when she saw Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan, then stopped struggling, and cried out heartbreakingly: "Second brother! You died such a miserable death! ”

Steward Wang's fat wife had already stood up, but when she heard such a shout, she was sad again, and leaned over to hug the eldest lady and cried, making Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan helpless.

The eldest lady suddenly stopped crying, and suddenly stood up and pointed at Wang Yuehan and scolded in a miserable voice: "You mourning star! If you hadn't shown up to provoke bees and butterflies, how could my second brother have suffered such a catastrophe? You shameless scumbag, you seduced two Nanchang officers, causing people to die in the wilderness, you are not satisfied, and you went to the Taoist temple on the mountain to seduce that evil seed, are you willing to harm our family? You are not going to die well, you woe waters! ”

The second wife hurriedly went up to stop the eldest lady who pounced on Wang Yuehan, Chen Jiyao was so angry that his whole body trembled when he saw this: "You, you, you, shut your stinky mouth for me!" ”

"Sister, calm down, Yuehan is not only your daughter-in-law, but also your cousin niece, how can you hurt her so much?" Wang Daohan also hurriedly stepped forward to reproach the eldest wife.

"I don't have such a niece, I don't have such a daughter-in-law, a mourning star! Let her get out, get out! The eldest lady struggled and screamed.

Everyone comforted and mediated in unison, and the heartbroken Wang Yuehan slowly raised her head, gently pushed away the third wife who couldn't comfort her, took two steps forward under the worried gaze of everyone, looked at the big lady with a vicious face and smiled miserably: "If you don't drive me away today, I will also leave, I know that you have been blaming me for being bad to your son, not pregnant with your Chen family, and not smiling at you, right?" There are some things I didn't want to say, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious, it seems that I won't say it today. ”

Wang Yuehan's smile was extremely desolate, the tears in her eyes kept sliding down like a broken thread, and everyone looked at Wang Yuehan with resentment on her face, and no one dared to go up to persuade her.

Wang Yuehan resolutely turned to Wang Daohan and Chen Jiyao: "My marriage with Chen Zhongkang was arranged by your two elders, although I was unwilling and refused several times, but seeing my weak and sick father begging hard, I gritted my teeth and agreed, I thought that the young talent Chen Zhongkang in your mouth was a veritable handsome, a new young man who had stayed abroad and received a civilized education, but after getting married, I realized that he was a sanctimonious hypocrite!" ”

"Yuehan, what nonsense are you talking about? Shut up! Wang Daohan hurriedly drank and ordered the two maids to take Wang Yuehan away, the maids were already scared and trembling, and they didn't dare to step forward at all.

Wang Yuehan smiled miserably again: "Fifth uncle, don't worry, listen to your niece's words, next time you have the opportunity to meet the so-called young and erudite Chen Zhongkang in your mind, you can ask him why he contracted willow disease while studying in Japan?" Why did I spend thousands of oceans in Japan to be cured, and quietly returned to Shanghai for treatment for half a year? Ask him, why am I still a yellow flower girl? Ask him again, who knelt in front of me on my wedding night, crying and shouting for my forgiveness, swearing to be a cow and a horse for me for the rest of his life, begging me to keep a secret for him?

"Fifth uncle, Chen Bo'an, the eldest brother of the Chen family, is a man worthy of everyone's admiration and respect, although he pursued the Three People's Principles and died on the battlefield, but he will always be admired by the people, he is the hero who stands up to the sky! And his younger brother Chen Zhongkang is the opposite, not only a hypocrite, but also a straw bag who does not learn and has no skills, the Chen family of three generations of scholarly families, it seems that it is going to be lost in his hands, what qualifications does the Chen family have to scold me? Ha Lu Ha! Ridiculous, pathetic! ”

After Wang Yuehan finished venting, she could no longer control her emotions, covered her face and cried bitterly and rushed out of the room.

Wang Daohan turned to Chen Jiyao in extreme shock, and found that Chen Jiyao had fallen to the ground, his face was like a blank piece of paper and he looked demented, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down and hugged him tightly to comfort him.

Everyone in the room was stunned by this shocking news, and the third wife, who woke up first, saw her husband Chen Jiyao's heartbroken appearance, and was so distressed that she squatted down and hugged him tightly with tears streaming down her face.

"Nope! Impossible! The eldest lady screamed, her eyes rolled and she fell straight back, and the house suddenly burst into a cry.

Chen Jiyao was carried to the bed by everyone, and when he woke up, he suddenly felt that all thoughts were lost, and he grabbed Wang Daohan's hand and cried bitterly: "The family is unfortunate, I am ashamed of my ancestors, virtuous brothers, retribution!" Retribution! ”

"Big brother, take care of your health!" Wang Daohan held Chen Jiyao's cold hand and lamented in vain, and the third wife brought a hot towel to carefully wipe away the snot and tears on her husband's face.

The thin second housekeeper suddenly rushed in and reported breathlessly: "Master, the young grandmother went out with the little pistol that the young master gave her, and no one dared to stop the little ones!" ”

"Huh? What kind of system? Now that it's chaotic outside, she's going to die? Don't chase it back yet! Wang Daohan jumped up angrily.

The third lady hurriedly persuaded: "Master Wang, Yuehan has a stubborn temper, and she is angry at the moment, no one can persuade her, let the little sister chase her back, you let the officers and soldiers take care of it, don't make anything happen again." ”

The third wife hurriedly ran out of the house, Wang Daohan called the secretary standing at the door loudly to give instructions, and returned to Chen Jiyao's room to sit down weakly, looking at Chen Jiyao who was in tears on the bed, and sighed helplessly: "Brother, if this matter is spread out, you and I will really become a laughing stock, and many bad things will come together, and we will be anxious!" ”

Chen Jiyao grabbed Wang Daohan's hand and cried silently: "Brother Xian, at this moment, the foolish brother has lost all his thoughts, and you will be the master of everything for the foolish brother!" ”

Wang Daohan sighed repeatedly, thought hard for a long time and said slowly: "That's it, as soon as the morning dawns, I will send Yuehan's girl back to Yingtan's hometown, let the family watch her, wait for her to calm down, and then send her to Nanchang to hand over to Kang'er, as long as the matter is explained, I think Yuehan will not go to extremes, how to say that she married into the Chen family, she is a member of the Chen family, for the reputation of Wang and Chen's two clans, and for her own reputation, endure it and pass, but Kang'er is there, trouble!" After the little brother's urgent report is delivered tomorrow, Shangfeng will definitely summon the little brother to Nanchang to report on his work, and then see Kang'er and think about it. ”

"I have done iniquity! What revolution did the eldest son pursue, he died in a war at a young age, and he didn't even know where the bones were buried, but the only second son he hoped for was so absurd, so unfilial, God wants to kill my Chen family! Chen Jiyao cried into tears after speaking.

Wang Daohan hurriedly comforted: "Big brother, don't think like this, today is just Yuehan's girl's words, you can't believe it all, maybe Kang'er's illness is not as serious as Yuehan said, everything needs us to see Kang'er before we know Lu Dao, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up, if not, let Kang'er go abroad for treatment again, it will always get better, big brother, you have to hold on!" ”

"Brother Xian, this is retribution, it's all retribution!"

"Big brother, don't cry, take a good rest, the younger brother will go out to make arrangements, and then there will be a bright hour, it is estimated that the evil seed has fled to Dexing in the north or Yushan in the east, with a radius of hundreds of miles and thousands of mountains and ravines, no matter how many people and horses can catch him, they can only collect troops and return to the camp to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible."

"Brother Xian, get busy, it's all up to you."

Wang Daohan comforted the grief-stricken Chen Jiyao to lie down, came to the front hall and immediately summoned his subordinates to the head of the martial arts, issued a series of instructions, and then called pens, ink and paper to start writing the report, so busy that he didn't even have time to take care of his niece Wang Yuehan being dragged back.

Half an hour later, all the officers and men except for the sentry at the intersection returned to the town, and the three heralds mounted their horses and rushed to the ferry port in the north of the town, Hufeng Town in the east, and the fork in the south, and notified the squads waiting at the major crossings to collect their troops and return to the county seat.

The sky was bright, the garrison officers and soldiers who had been tossing all night had finished tidying up, squatting in groups of three or five in the courtyard of the town government for breakfast, and the housekeepers and nurses of several large families were busy back and forth to serve wholeheartedly, and the town had gradually returned to calm, but the doors of each house were closed, and there was no half a figure on the four small streets of two horizontal and two vertical, only pieces of fallen leaves and clouds of dust swirling and flying in the wind.

######

Three miles east of the town, under the big pine tree halfway up the wild boar ridge, Wu Ming lazily lay on the grass to bask in the sun, while wiping his gun, while looking at the officers and soldiers who left the town and a string of carriages across the river, he pondered for a moment and couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth: The bet is right!

After the shot was successful, Wu Ming escaped from the river crossing the Zhenbei Ferry, which was completely an illusion made after careful consideration, and the purpose was to form a wrong judgment for the officers and soldiers, thinking that he had fled towards the northern mountains, just like thinking that he would not have the courage to go back if he escaped from Taijin Mountain, and Wu Wei had successfully shot the enemy Wang Steward, and also brought a shot to the head of the county security regiment.

At the same time of revenge, Wu Ming knew that he had also caused a monstrous disaster, and within three days, this matter would be known far and wide, and I am afraid that it would soon be wanted in the whole province, in the eyes of everyone, Wu Ming was too late to flee for his life, how could he dare to return to do evil again?

Wu Ming, who was stimulated by the blood, gambled on this result, he couldn't go away with the resentment of being framed repeatedly, since others wanted his life, he had the reason and necessity to resist, not to mention that there was also the factor of revenge, although it was very likely to lose his life at such a risk, but in the troubled times of the jungle and the many tribulations of the two worlds, Wu Ming's courage and mind have changed qualitatively, and he is no longer the sad and desperate young man in prison.

In addition, Wu Ming has another important reason to continue taking risks: lack of money!

With Wu Ming's skills and the gun on his body, it is not difficult to grab a few money on the way to escape, in this troubled era when the great powers are rampant with warlords, murder and arson, and robberies are endlessly occurring all over the country, in comparison, it is nothing to bully the weak to block the road and rob the road.

But Wu Ming will not do that, he has his own principles, has a conscience to be a man, although he is tortured and full of resentment, but he will never put his hatred on the innocent, on the contrary, he understands the preciousness of life better than anyone else, and has a stronger desire and pursuit of survival and equality.

At this moment, Wu Ming endured hunger and hid on the barren mountain by the river to watch quietly, waiting quietly, like a hungry lone wolf, and then put away his claws before launching on the prey, hide his fangs, repeatedly calculate the gains and losses, plan every step of the action, and patiently wait for the opportunity to attack.
