Chapter 25 Women are like duckweed, following the waves
"Ahh
Ximenqing's two concubines heard that there was no movement outside, and they also ran out to take a look.
At a glance, he saw Ximenqing, who was lying at the foot of the wall with blurred flesh and blood, and let out a cry in shock.
It's just that the expressions of the two are slightly different.
Li Ping'er leaned against the wall, covering her face with her hands, her face a little complicated.
Strangely, my heart is not so sad.
Originally, I still wanted to serve every day, please people, grow old, and have a belonging.
Not long ago, he was ruthlessly used as a bargaining chip and ruthlessly pushed out.
The love between the two has been pushed by this ruthlessness, and there is not much left.
The other concubine, Qin'er, was different, without Li Ping'er's entanglement and hesitation.
She's not a bargaining chip either.
This time he knelt beside Ximenqing's corpse, sobbing intermittently, his voice hoarse with a low voice, full of sadness and sorrow, more as if he was venting the helpless fate that was suppressed in his heart.
Women are like duckweed...... There is no root.
can only cling to men and go with the flow.
Or marry a businesswoman.
And the businessman is more profitable than parting, and after a year and a half of separation, maybe he will bring home a younger and more beautiful one.
Especially concubines like them, they have no sense of security at all.
What's next?
What kind of people will you meet?
What kind of fate awaits you?
Cao Jun watched on the side for a while, and suddenly got up and walked two steps, the county Cheng thought that Cao Jun wanted to continue the murder, and hurriedly stopped him loudly: "Cao Dutou, Ximenqing is dead, past grievances, written off, has nothing to do with his concubine, don't commit murder." ”
Cao Jun gave him a helpless look.
He would have woken up from his demonic state, and how could he be embarrassed by these two poor women?
Since he was misunderstood by the county, he had to defend loudly: "According to the order of the magistrate of the county, the behind-the-scenes instigator of the arrest of the crude drug shop Ximenqing, this guy not only resisted arrest, but also resisted with a knife, and was killed by me on the spot, and the others all stayed in place and waited for the magistrate to fall." ”
The county man raised his hand and nodded at Cao Jun, but he was so shocked by his words that he stayed in place, babbling for a while, and couldn't say a complete sentence.
Li Ping'er was the first to recover from the shock, she got up and bowed to Cao Jun, and said softly: "Dutou, my husband is dead, I don't dare to resist, just wait for the magistrate to fall, it's just ...... Can you please prepare a coffin for my husband, so that I can wait to contain my husband's body first, and I am planning. ”
"It's a reasonable request, and I'll have people prepare."
Cao Jun glanced at the two flower-like concubines in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart, a little unbearable.
Although he has not been in this Water Margin world for a long time, he also knows a thing or two about the local laws and regulations, and the Lord of Ruozhi County listened to his advice, and as the behind-the-scenes instigator of the crude medicine shop case, the family in Ximen Mansion was almost booked in advance.
Unexpectedly, the two people who were drinking with him a moment ago, currying favor with him, and welcoming others would soon be sold into official prostitutes, or exiled to a foreign land, bullied by others, and finally ended up dying in a foreign country.
This is the unfortunate situation of women in this era.
Marrying a man and marrying a man is not only about dressing and eating, but also about fate.
He only wanted to protect Wuda, complete the task, and rescue Pan Jinlian, why did he care about the pain of others in this world?
Is it too selfish?
Unconsciously, Cao Jun has been assimilated by the bits and pieces of this world.
"Alas!"
That's it!
If you have the chance, try your best to help.
Unexpectedly, the general county man in the lounge rice bag behaved more actively and had a greater sense of justice than him.
From Cao Jun's sigh, he thought of the fate that the two women would face next, and he also felt the same way as Cao Jun.
After half a sound, he said with relief: "Don't worry, according to the law of my dynasty, eighty percent of the concubines and subordinates of Ximen Mansion will be sold, young women will be sold into official prostitutes, and men will either join the army or be sent to the frontier, and the old man will suggest to the magistrate that he can sell it in advance in Yanggu County. ”
When the two women heard their words, they thought of what happened next, and they cried even more sadly.
The county Cheng pulled Qin'er to his side with a very responsible hand, and Haosheng comforted him, "After the case is settled, you will enter my house, and I will take care of it." ”
Li Ping'er saw that Qin'er had landed in a moment, and a pair of beautiful eyes were locked on Cao Jun.
The latter was seen to have red cheeks, and he was not as thick-skinned and black as the county man, so he immediately coughed, and then said: "I have my own arrangements." ”
After leaving a promise that was not a promise, Cao Jun fled and left the Accord.
Soon after, other officials of the county government also came to the scene, accompanied by a servant master, known as Uncle He Jiu.
After Uncle He Jiu inspected Ximen Qing's corpse, he let people converge in the coffin on the side, secretly pulled Cao Jun to the side, and gave him a thumbs up.
"Half of this Ximenqing's skull has collapsed, Cao Du's head is really as powerful as an ox, and the reputation of a good man who fights tigers is well deserved, admire!"
Cao Jun was a little embarrassed to be praised, and coughed awkwardly: "Uncle He Jiu praised it falsely." ”
The latter seemed to see Cao Jun's disapproval, and explained with a serious face: "Don't underestimate this Ximenqing, in the early years, he fought with people, one person could beat four or five people, and other idle men were not his opponents, and now he was beaten to death by Dutou with his bare hands, which can be regarded as getting rid of a harm for Yanggu County." ”
Cao Jun was taken aback when he heard this.
Secretly thinking back to the battle with Ximenqing, it seems that the process went a little unexpectedly, and the means prepared by Zhang Qing and his wife as the backhand were useless.
"Could it be...... This guy has already been hollowed out by wine, or has his combat effectiveness dropped sharply after drinking? ”
After all, not everyone has the attributes of Wu Song's drunken fist.
The more you drink, the more power you have.
Cao Jun secretly exhaled and warned himself not to underestimate the characters in this world.
so as not to capsize in the gutter.
After Uncle He Jiu examined the body, he was considered to have completed the process.
Several officials carried the coffin and led the two women, Qin'er and Ping'er, out.
In the onlookers of the restaurant, the two women looked sad, and frequently looked at the place where the county Cheng and Cao Jun were standing along the way.
It's just that under the public court, the county lord has already put on the face of a parent official, and he is full of authority behind his back, but this time he is not good at expressing his position, so he has to wave his hand and urge the official to quickly lead the person away.
In the meantime, Zhang Qing and his wife had already disappeared into the crowd, and Li Quan and Zhou Zunfeng also followed closely.
The two of them were very clever and did not mention the murder in the corridor of Zhang Qing and the two restaurants, but just reminded Cao Jun to pay attention to Zhang Zhisi, so as not to be picked by him.
"Dutou, Ximen Mansion has already been surrounded by Zhang Zhisi and others, if Dutou has a plan, he needs to be early."
Cao Jun nodded, knowing that it was time to sit in a row and divide the fruits.
