Zuojiazhuang.

As soon as it was dawn, Mrs. Zuo got up.

After decades of habit, the old lady is used to going to bed early and getting up early.

The first thing I do in the morning is to go to the yard to feed the chickens and ducks.

Although the son was filial, and the family invited servants and maids to serve her, the old lady could not be idle.

Feeding chickens and ducks is all done by yourself.

No, the maid carried a basket of chicken and duck food and followed the old lady to the backyard.

After a while, the old lady heard the noise of chickens and ducks coming from the backyard.

The old lady asked the maid beside her: "Why are the chickens and ducks so noisy today?" Before I drove them back to the nest last night, I asked you to feed them some water, didn't you feed them? ”

The maid said, "Hey." ”

The old lady pondered and said, "Then why are you so disturbed today?" Didn't you come here at night? ”

The maid said, "Yes, I'll let people put a weasel clip on this side later." ”

The old lady nodded, and then pulled open the small bamboo door of the chicken shed.

The chickens and ducks flapped their wings and rushed out of the shed.

The old lady stood there with a smile, grabbing a handful of food and throwing it evenly on the ground, feeding them.

The maid walked away for a while, and came back in a short time, with a long-term worker in the family behind her.

"The clamp is installed in that place, dig a few hoes into the ground, and the end is cultivated with soil, and the yellow skin is cunning and can't hold it until it recognizes it......"

The old lady commanded from the side.

The long-term worker responded, put the clamp aside, and picked up the hoe in his hand to excavate.

A hoe dug down, and the long-term worker said 'huh'.

"What's going on?" The old lady asked.

Changgong shook his head, and then dug down harder.

As I dug out, there was a strange sound in the soil.

It was crisp and crisp, and there were golden crumbs splashing out, almost splashing into the eyes of the long worker.

"Old lady, there's something in the soil." Changgong said loudly.

"Oh? What is it? ”

The old lady hurriedly put down the dustpan with food in her hand and came this way.

In the earth, a golden corner was exposed, which had been cut off by a hoe, revealing the crumbs of wood inside.

The old lady crouched down, and with a few gouging of her hands, she dug something out of the soil.

Wipe the dirt off it and take a look.

It is a gilded clay carved wood statue of Buddha.

"What kind of god and Buddha is this? What about the noodles? I haven't seen any temples to worship, huh? ”

The old lady held the Buddha statue and looked at it carefully.

The chief worker and the maid also stood beside the old lady in amazement and looked at it together.

The old lady continued, "This Buddha statue is neither majestic, nor amusing, nor compassionate. Human body, snake neck, monkey head, eagle eyes, long ears, canine teeth......"

"There is a small drum hanging from his waist, and his hands are beating, as if he is smiling but not laughing, like he is not angry, and he seems to be angry but not angry, why does it look a little weird?"

The old lady believes in Buddhism all the year round, and she must enter the temple and worship the Buddha when she meets it.

At this moment, the more I look at the Buddha statue in my hand, the more strange I feel.

"Old lady, this Buddha statue looks a little evil, and the slaves and maids are a little afraid to look at it."

The maid beside him couldn't help but say.

The old lady came to her senses.

After glancing at the place where the wooden statue had been buried, he squatted down and examined the soil on the side.

Then, his expression changed dramatically.

This soil, before the long work was hoeed, obviously showed signs of being dug up.

"Quick, hurry up and take this thing to the stove and burn it, the sooner the better!"

The old lady gave it to the maid.

The maid quickly turned around and walked briskly towards the backyard.

Here, the old lady instructed the long-term worker, "You go to other places in the house and look carefully, don't let these dirty things get in!" ”

"Good!"

Changgong answered, turned around and just took two steps.

Suddenly, there was a loud 'boom' in the front yard.

After the chaotic and hurried footsteps, a group of officers and soldiers rushed to the backyard.

Each one was armed with a knife at his waist, and in his hands he held iron chains, shackles, and shackles......

The leading officers and soldiers waved their hands: "Search!" ”

The others went their separate ways and broke into the rooms, then rummaging through the cabinets.

The long worker tried to stop it, but was slapped to the ground by an officer and soldier.

The old lady came back to her senses and was stunned.

"Who sent you? The blue sky and the day are forcibly breaking into the house, is there still the law of the king of heaven? She asked angrily.

The leading officers and soldiers snorted coldly: "Someone reported that Zuo Junmo had colluded with the cult Black Lotus Sect. ”

"The county lieutenant sent me and others to search and arrest a group of cult elements!"

"What?"

The old lady turned white with shock.

The cult Black Lotus Sect, she had also heard of it.

When the villagers talked about the Black Lotus Sect, they all said that they specialized in killing children and worshipping them with their blood.

He used to operate in the north, but then he was driven to the south and colluded with the southern barbarians.

When the big guys talked about the Black Lotus Sect, they were all afraid.

Why did this hat buckle Junmo's head?

The old lady panicked, and took a few steps forward to explain to the leading officers and soldiers: "Master Bing, my Junmo is a well-known honest man in ten miles and eight townships, and he is not for you to arrest, are you mistaken?" ”

The leading officer and soldier looked at the old lady with a straight face, "Is there any collusion, you have to prove it!" It's not like you can get away with three or two sentences! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, mixed with the screams of the maid.

The voice was coming this way.

When the old lady heard the maid's cry, her heart tightened, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

"How?" The leading officer and soldier asked the soldier who was holding the maid.

The little soldier handed over an object in his hand: "Go back to your lordship, I found this in the stove." ”

When the leader received it, he saw that it was a half-burned Buddha statue.

"Hmph, everyone has stolen goods, take them all!"

As soon as the leading officers and soldiers gave the order, the shackles locked the old lady's wrists.

The tranquility of the early morning was disrupted, and the yard was full of chickens and dogs.

……

When Luo Fengtang pushed the door and came in, Yang Ruoqing had just finished washing.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his fiery appearance, she was surprised.

Luo Fengtang came to her side and directly grabbed her hand: "I can't stay here any longer, I saw a notice posted on the street to arrest Brother Zuo, and the other party began to fight back, so I have to leave here with Xiaoping quickly." ”

……

escaped from the city in one go, and in a small forest thirty miles outside the city, Luo Fengtang stopped the carriage.

told Xiaoping to stay in the carriage and not come out.

Luo Fengtang turned around to go back to the city, but was stopped by Yang Ruoqing.

"What are you going to do?" She asked.

"I don't worry about Brother Zuo, I want to go back and save him from the city!" He said.

Yang Ruoqing frowned: "Now that the whole city is under martial law, if you go back, not only will you not find Brother Zuo, but you will also put yourself in!" ”

Fang Cai went all the way out of the city, and all the shops under the name of the Zuo family he saw along the street were all seized by the officers and soldiers.

A steward man, all of them were imprisoned.

Tang Lingzi is going back now, and he will undoubtedly fall into the net, and she will not allow him to risk himself!
