Chapter 107: The Xia Clan Kills
After listening to Xu Lanyin's words, Zhang Manniang was even happier and said with a smile, "I also like Sister Xu's temperament, and I also listened to some of your rumors." I think Sister Xu is more free and easy, her fiancΓ© doesn't want her anymore, and she has no nostalgia for her. What kind of person you want to find is to say it generously, it's one thing to succeed or not, and I don't regret working hard. I'm the same kind of person, and I think the two of us can be handkerchiefs. I annoy those little ladies who pretend to be twisted and pinched, obviously they like it tightly, but they want to refuse and welcome, and they are disgusted. β
An idiom was also used.
Zhang Tiedan was embarrassed again for having such a sister, he covered his face in shame and walked to the front by himself. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Xu Lanting, turned around and pulled him, and the two walked forward.
Xu Lan couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that she was back in modern times, and talked about finding a boyfriend with her classmates without any scruples. She couldn't break Zhang Manniang's iron palms, and was dragged by her towards the Hong family. Xu Lanting actually talked to Zhang Tiedan, and the two held hands and laughed all the way.
On the way, Zhang Manniang said that her mother was sick, so she and her younger brother came to Hong's house for a washing banquet. added, "I know that Brother Zhao has a good relationship with General Hong, and he will definitely come to the banquet." β
Zhang Tiedan turned around and said, "Dad will also come to the banquet, you are not allowed to go to the front yard to talk to the surnamed Zhao, lose your father's face, and also lose our family's face." β
Zhang Manniang rolled her eyes and said, "You and I are as stupid as you, I just want to meet Brother Zhao and I won't go down to see you in public." β
Xu Lanyin felt that Zhang Manniang and Zhang Tiedan were two temperamental people, completely different from their father Zhang Zhangzhutou and their two elder brothers Zhang Gangdan and Zhang Tongdan.
Listening to Zhao Wu, Zhang Gangdan and Zhang Tongdan are both on errand in the Yamen, Zhang Gangdan is a fast horse in the fishing room, and he is also the successor of the head of Zhang Zhu, and Zhang Tongdan is on duty at the station.
When she arrived at Hong's house, Zhang Manniang met the little lady she knew, and Xu Lanyin was able to get rid of her and go to Hu's bedroom.
Hu's head was wrapped in a handkerchief, and his face was happy.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Congratulations to Sister-in-law Hong, both children and daughters." β
Hu Shi smiled, "My grandfather named the child Hongwen, Brother Wen, and expected him to be both civil and military." β
Xu Lanyin looked at the child lying on the bed, the little guy was more like Hong Zhen, dark, and sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
"It's so cute." Xu Lanyin smiled and nodded with his index finger. Although she could hold the milk doll, she didn't dare to hold it, and she was still an unmarried girl in this life.
When there was no one in the house, Xu Lanyin told Hu about meeting Zhang Manniang on the road.
Hu Shi laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and said, "Although Manniang and Tie Dan also love to fight, their nature is not bad, and they fight those gangsters who love to cause trouble. Especially Manniang, there are some rumors. He added, "My grandfather also told Zhang Zhutou that Zhao Wu was looking for his cousin. Zhang Zhutou said that he knew that it was good to get married, and it was necessary to have wishful thinking......"
Xu Lanyin said secretly, hoping that Zhang Zhutou could really let go. However, she believed He Zhukuai's words more, because He Zhukuai and his father had worked with the Zhang family for decades, so they should know more about Zhang Zhukuai's urine. Hong Zhen has only been in Nanping County for two or three years, and all he sees is the appearance.
At noon, after the midwife's mother-in-law washed Xiao Hongwen for three days, everyone went to the hall to eat.
At the banquet, some people said that there was a murder in which village, and the county lieutenant Sun and Zhang Zhutou, who had a good relationship with the Hong family, did not come and went to the scene of the crime.
The murder is a big case, and not only the county lieutenant and relevant officials will go, but the county magistrate will also go in person. There was a lot of talk in the crowd.
Zhang Manniang sat next to Xu Lanyin, and she whispered, "I just went to take a peek at the front yard, and it seems that Brother Zhao didn't come either." β
Zhao Wu also went, and the murder should have occurred in Sanshi Town and its jurisdiction, including Xiaozao Village.
After a while, someone came in and said more specifically, it was a family surnamed Wang in Xiaozao Village who had an accident.
Xu Lanyin's mind immediately appeared with the face of Wang Jincai's mother, could it be that she was tortured to death by Wang Laohan and his wife?
She couldn't eat. Although she and the original owner hadn't met Xia a few times, Xia's crying made her uncomfortable when she thought about it. That woman, the death may be a relief. When a man dies, those two wicked men have broken the law and will be punished by law.
finally waited until the banquet was over, and after Xu Lanyin went to say goodbye to the Hu family, he took Xu Lanting and hurriedly went out to call a donkey cart.
Zhang Manniang also ran over to say goodbye to her, "Sister Xu, I will go to your house to play when I have nothing to do in the future." β
Xu Lanyin said casually, "Okay, welcome." β
Before the donkey cart reached the entrance of the village, I saw groups of people from other villages watching the excitement at the edge of the village.
Some people discussed, "Oh my God, if a daughter-in-law dares to kill her father-in-law, she is not afraid of being sentenced to death?" β
Another person said, "I heard that the old man Wang is an old animal who often molests his daughter-in-law." Maybe the woman couldn't stand it anymore, so she killed her. β
Xu Lanyin's heart sank again, Xia was a poor person, Xu Lanyin neither wanted her to die, nor did she want her to kill Wang Laohan. In ancient times, the younger generation killed the elders, and it was punishable by capital punishment.
She got out of the donkey cart and listened to people talking all the way.
When I entered the village, the road was full of people, most of them from my own village, and some from other villages. From a distance, the courtyard of the Wang family was tightly surrounded. Xu Lanyin thought about sending Xu Lanting home to see the excitement again.
The Qin family opened the door, and Xu Lanting asked, "Mother, what's the matter?" β
Qin sighed, "I heard that Jin Cainiang poisoned Wang Laohan, and she also put a lot of knives on him to vent her anger, I don't know the specifics." Not only did the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and the official come, but a senior official from a provincial capital came to inspect the county and followed. Alas, when the rich lady entered that house, she entered the wolf's den, pitiful. β
Xu Lanyin said, "I heard someone on the road that Wang Laohan should die, and the people in the village want to jointly help Sister-in-law Wang intercede." β
Qin said, "I hope the plea will work." He pulled Xu Lanyin, who was about to go out to see the excitement, "Don't go, stay at home honestly." β
Since Zhao Wu found Mrs. Liu, the Qin family has looked at Xu Lanyin more closely.
Xu Lanyin had to stay in the courtyard and listen to the discussions of people outside the courtyard.
In the evening, the county magistrate and others left, and Zhao Wu and others quickly escorted Xia to return to the county government with Wang Laohan's body and important witness Wang Pozi. When they left, the bold villagers were still pleading with the official master for the Xia family, counting the sins of Wang Laohan, how the Xia family was bullied, and begging the Qingtian master to show mercy to his subordinates and give the Xia family a way to live......
Xu Lanyin was a little excited when she heard it in the yard, and she couldn't wait to rush out to help plead.
Now the Wang family has become a haunted house, empty, and everyone who passes by the Wang family has to make a big detour. The families closest to his house also posted red notes on their doors to ward off evil spirits......
Xu Lan was itchy and unbearable, so she still went to the big house to inquire about the news.
