Chapter 064: Thieves are rampant, and both eyes are blind
The three wives had their little fingers chopped off, and they didn't go out of the door for several days, hiding in the room and crying bitterly late at night. Five days later, Zheng Xun returned to the Assassin's Mansion from the capital Jiankang, and the servants hurriedly told him that when they heard that the old man had returned, the three of them seemed to be looking forward to a big savior, and they cried in front of Zheng Xun with a handful of snot and tears.
Zheng Xun hurriedly asked why, and the three of them showed their fingers in a trembling manner, complaining bitterly about the previous tragedy, and couldn't cry. Zheng Xun was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned red angrily, he didn't want Xiao'er to be so bold and reckless, and killed his favorite concubine Ji for no reason.
Although Ji did not give birth to a son, he had a daughter named Zheng Xiaoqiao, who was twenty-eight years old, with the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, comparable to the stunning Xiao Qiao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he got the name of Xiao Qiao.
Zheng Xiaoqiao inherited his mother's temperament, although she was beautiful, but her heart was ugly, in the past, Ji treated Jia like that, not only did she not stop her, she had no mercy, but sometimes helped out with bad ideas, teasing and making fun of Jia's, which is in response to the sentence that not a family does not enter a family.
Zheng Xiaoqiao visited his maternal grandparents a few days ago, and his maternal grandfather Ji Chang was a wealthy local businessman who was engaged in tea trading, and he was also a figure with a head and a face. Ji Chang is not only a businessman, but also a scheming person, taking the opportunity to come to the door to offer tea, and also brought the little girl Ji Weiyang.
Zheng Xun fell in love with the beauty in front of him at a glance, as tender as a hibiscus out of water, as soft as a newborn willow branch, and even more seductive with flirtatious eyes. Zheng Xun was dumbfounded, the best iced leaf tea leaked out of the corner of his mouth and wet a large piece of clothes, Ji Chang secretly rejoiced, and wrote a letter after returning home, willing to marry his daughter to him, Zheng Xun was overjoyed, and married Ji Weiyang back to the house three days later.
How could Zheng Xun not be angry, he didn't give birth to a son for a few years, and Zheng Shijie was seen to be pregnant. Zheng Xiaoqiao was tired of playing and returned home, and was shocked to hear that his mother was dead, and he didn't dare to go to his brother alone to take revenge, so he also pestered Zheng Xun to talk nonsense and file a complaint for his mother.
"Rebel! How daring! The three wives and Zheng Xiaoqiao cried and shouted in front of him all day long, Zheng Xun thought that Xiao'er was too vicious, and then called to the court to question.
Zheng Shijie frowned angrily, several women cried more and more, Zheng Xun was angry and his ears were red, and he ordered the house slave to find a stick with a thick bowl mouth, and beat it with his own hands, Zheng Shijie took a few sticks but didn't say a word, standing upright and still.
Zheng Xun wanted to fight again, but Zheng Shijie grabbed the stick with his backhand and threw it on the ground, and said angrily in a sand voice: "Dad! These sluts killed my mother, even if they are all killed, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart! The woman was frightened again, and hid behind Zheng Xun with her fingers and scolding.
"You..! Evil creature! Come! Drag me down! Zheng Xun was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and the guards had to order Zheng Shijie to be locked in a dilapidated house in the backyard, locked and guarded, and not given food.
The sunset returns to spring and autumn, and the passing years make the past.
Relatives of Huangquan Road, regret has been lost.
Zheng Shijie looked at the stools, tables and chairs that turned around, the empty bed and boudoir, and couldn't help but think of his mother's smile on the mirror makeup, like a flower and like water, and suddenly remembered the scene where his mother hugged him and was whipped alone, and his nose was sour and tears flowed down his face.
The concubine is dead, Zheng Xun is also powerless to return to heaven, although he is annoyed, but he can't pay for Xiao'er's life, he is his only son. The three wives comprehended it, and it was already a blessing to have picked up a life, and they really didn't dare to be aggressive anymore, Zheng Shijie's methods they could deeply understand, and they had no courage to bully him like they did when they were children.
However, Zheng Xiaoqiao has hatred, after all, A-Niang buried his life in his hands, begged Zheng Xun to confess, and went to Ji Chang to ask for advice, Ji Chang is also dumb and can't say that he has suffered from Coptis chinensis, Zheng Xun is a dignified assassin, even if he sues the official for redress of grievances, there is no way, and if he can't afford to compensate his wife and break his army, I'm afraid that the life of the family will not be guaranteed.
Calling the sky not spiritual, calling the earth should not, Zheng Xiaoqiao didn't want to stop there, the revenge of killing her mother was not shared, she hated this brother very much, and waited for the opportunity to take revenge again.
Zheng Xun really just wanted to be a show, Zheng Shijie did not eat water because of grief, and Zixiang was refused to send food several times, and he fainted in the house all day long. Zheng Xun hurriedly ordered his subordinates to carry them back to the front yard to take care of them, and only after a few persuasions did they think about food.
Several wives didn't dare to complain in their eyes, but Zheng Xiaoqiao was even more hateful, and wanted to do something in the decoction, but he thought that he might take his life, so he gave up.
When Qiu Ying parted, a letter from the scholar entrusted Wang Chong, Wang Chong immediately sent someone down the mountain to deliver the letter, the queen mother read the letter and cried in panic, wrapped in the mourner's spirit card, left the family to flee to the relatives for refuge, and returned after some time.
During the days when Xiang Lin was not in the mansion, although the servants were more careful to look at the courtyard, the Xu Mansion was not peaceful. On the night half a month ago, several thieves broke over the walls and windows, turned over boxes and cabinets, destroyed several partial houses in the front yard and backyard into a mess, stole a lot of money and two utensils, and stole something but I don't know.
The Niantang in the backyard was also made a fuss by thieves, who turned over the offering table and scattered offerings, and the Guangmu Buddha broke his fingers and his copper bell-like eyes were also poked into a hole. Seeing this, Liu fainted in fright, and after waking up, he knelt down and bowed five times, wept bitterly, and called his sins in his mouth, and hurriedly invited a craftsman to repair and fill the gap.
The people did not dare to slack off, day and night in turn, although a few thieves had convergence, but from time to time to find a moment to disturb many times, no one in the house was good at martial arts, no thieves could not, but they wanted to report to the official but were embarrassed, Xu Zhao and Chen Tong's grudge who did not know, not to mention that Chen Tong was not in the county office, and no one was in charge.
Thieves are rampant, and they have a lot of kung fu, making trouble at two ends for three days, and the subordinates can't catch them and don't dare to report to the officials, and they are tormented so much that they scream again and again, and chickens fly and dogs jump. Liu's family also had no choice, he couldn't sleep at night, and Si'er was heartfelt, he washed his face with tears all day long, crying and being blind, and asking all the doctors to treat him, which made it even worse, and Xu's house became a pot of porridge.
Several craftsmen who were invited to repair the Buddha statue were lazy and lazy, and they were not completed for several days, and suddenly all of them disappeared one evening, and the people searched for a long time and did not see a few people. At this moment, the servant guarding the main hall came to report that Xu Zhao's spiritual position was missing, Liu was frightened, and went to the hall to look around, and the spiritual position was really lost, and he collapsed on the ground and cried.
That's it, Liu thought that it must be those craftsmen who were making trouble, but they didn't know where to hunt down, so they rebuilt the tablet, added a heavy lock to the main hall, and ordered people to guard it day and night. As everyone knows, those craftsmen are the thieves who stole the previous time, not to mention the trouble, and pretended to be craftsmen to sneak into the house, taking the opportunity of cultivating Buddha to find out the movements of the next people, and took advantage of the good time to steal the spiritual position and escaped.
"Childe! You're back! The old housekeeper leaned over and walked out of the house, tears glistening in his eyes, "Little boy, go and see the old lady... Old lady, she..."Xiang Lin grabbed the door and entered the main hall, Liu quietly knelt in front of Xu Zhao's spiritual throne and muttered: "Master, Xiang'er, when will he come back, please tell me..."
"Mother, Xiang'er is back..."Xiang Lin Tom knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, Liu heard that it was a child, hurriedly got up and turned back to look for it, how could he not see anything, seeing that he was about to hit the table and chair, Xiang Lin was surprised and suddenly felt bad, and ran over to help her.
Liu Shi touched his face with the corners of his mouth trembling, and sobbed again and again, Xiang Lin realized that his mother's eyes were invisible, and hurriedly asked why he was here, Liu sobbed and complained bitterly, and Xiang Lin knew that such a big thing had happened in his family.
"Xiang'er, why don't you see Ziying, the two of you have been going here for more than a month, thinking about her for your mother, you didn't bully others, right..."
"Mother, the journey is tiring, Ziying she.. She.. She went to the side room to rest..."Xiang Lin was worried about the disaster that happened to his mother, worried that she would not be able to bear it, and he didn't want to tell the truth, but just this one word made him cry like a fountain of tears, and he was sad. "It's okay, I'll stay with her mother when she's rested, my mother still has a lot to say to her..."
Xiang Lin did not report to the official, and ordered people to carefully guard the inside and outside of the Xu Mansion, and then twist the thieves to the county government after they were caught, but those thieves have never appeared since they stole the spiritual position, and it seems that everything in the Xu Mansion is under their control.
Qiu Ying temporarily avoided Xufu, although her body was safe, but her heart was not at peace, one was worried about her mother, and the other was worried about the safety of her uncle Wang Chong, Zheng Shijie couldn't find her, and she must ask Wang Chong where she went.
In the days when his mother Jia passed away, Zheng Shijie only had revenge and hatred in his mind, and he had nothing else to think about, which made the people of the Assassin Mansion panic and tremble. The vendetta against the Ji family and the broken finger of the concubine spread loudly, and the people were terrified when they heard it, and they shuddered.
A few days later, Zheng Shijie remembered Qiu Ying, because he was ill and inconvenient to go in person, so he ordered Zixiang to take a retinue and went straight to Qiu Ying's hometown, but when he saw that the door of the house was locked, it seemed that no one lived, and asked passers-by and neighbors, and they all said that the master had already moved away, and Zixiang had to go back to his house.
Zheng Shijie was shocked and angry, and rushed to Dongyang School Palace alone. Zheng Shijie knew that Wang Chong was lying to him, but there was no way, he drove his horse to the gate of the school palace, looked at this cage-like gentle villager and laughed, a lot of nostalgia and a lot of sorrow, in the past, he was inside and outside, and now the horse returned to leave the dust, he thought he had gained a lot, but he just lost more.
After returning to the house, Zheng Shijie asked Zheng Xun to condemn Wang Chong, remove his husband from his position, and drive him out of the palace.
However, Zheng Shijie was unwilling to stop there.
