506
On the day of departure to Jiangji Village, God was very face-saving. The weather changed from the cloudy and bitter rain of the previous two days to a sunny and sunny day.
Jin Niang sent Xu Erlang and Chang'an Changping Yu'an Suzheng and Rong Ge'er away early in the morning, yes, Xu Erlang still took away a few older children when he went out this time. Originally, Changzhou Changhui also wanted to go, but was rejected by Jinniang. There are a few older ones, they all have their own opinions, and they can also be responsible for their own decisions, so Jin Niang can't persuade them much, so she can only watch them follow Xu Erlang out of the door.
Seeing everyone go away, Jin Niang's heart is not giving. She learned from Xu Erlang last night that there were indeed bombs in Jiangji Village, and those people were inhumane and wanted to blow up the Yunzhou embankment and make the entire Jiangnan area suffer from the flood, so as to divert Xu Erlang's attention and divert the gold and silver underground.
After Jin Niang learned about those people's plans, her whole body trembled.
There are tens of millions of people in the entire Jiangnan region, not to mention the real dam failure, how many innocent people will die tragically, how many families will be broken, and how many relatives will be difficult to reunite; It is said that the flood will lead to the loss of the grain that is about to be harvested, and nearly seventy percent of the taxes paid by the imperial court come from Jiangnan. Not to mention that there will be a plague after the flood, and the imperial court will need to allocate funds for relief......
Jin Niang took a deep breath and let herself not be too angry. The direction of things is under Xu Erlang's control, this is the greatest luck, isn't it? As long as that thing doesn't happen, she doesn't need to be angry, and she has no one to pay for her angry body, so why is she annoyed by something that won't happen.
Jin Niang comforted herself, which had some effect and made her less anxious. But seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to noon, her pressed heart jumped rapidly again.
At this time, not only Jinniang's heart was beating fast, but the three brothers in Jiangji Village were also beating heartbeats, full of bad premonitions.
The second child has a long face, his face is indifferent, and his tense face looks more and more mean-tempered. He was used to being the most stable of the three brothers, but at this moment his palms were also sweating. He looked at the old man with white hair and beard sitting on his head, the eldest brother was as immobile as a mountain, and there were no waves on his face, but the brother for decades, just looking at the eldest brother's pursed lips, how could he not know that the eldest brother was also worried at the moment.
"Big brother, are you sure that the people who arranged for Yunzhou to go to Yunzhou will not have an accident?"
The old man with white hair and beard had been tense for so long that his mind was a little numb, and he couldn't react when he heard this voice, and waited until he came back to his senses and was silent for a long time before he said, "It's the eldest son who took the three children over in person, if they still can't believe it, then there is no one who can be trusted." "The eldest son and the third son are the eldest son and biological nephew of the head of the Sheng family. As their successors, the two boys knew their origins from the time they turned five. And after they were crowned, they also knew the significance of their stay in Jiangji Village.
They are the biological sons of the Sheng family master, and no matter what the reason, they will not relax in their teaching. Therefore, except for the "weak" point in identity, the two children are not inferior to the serious family children in terms of appearance and talent.
But so what, they can't see the light of day. In the end, you can't walk to the street with the surname Sheng. In that case, what does it matter if there is some vanity of glory?
The old man, with his white hair and beard, looked a little dazed, and only after a moment did he return to normal. The eldest son and the third boy were ordered to go to Yoonju, and they were armed with bombs with the aim of blowing up the in Yoonju. This was arranged by them a long time ago, and it was said that there would be no mistakes, but the two of them had not turned back for half a month, and there was no movement from Yunzhou, which was a bit abnormal.
In fact, the old man suspected that the eldest son and the third boy had an accident a few days ago. Either they were accidentally attacked, or they were targeted and intercepted early.
Either possibility was too much for him to bear, and he refused to accept it. Even though his heart was burning like fire, the old man with white hair and beard still tried to stabilize himself. Tell yourself to believe in the successor that Big Brother has cultivated. The children and grandchildren of their Sheng family will not all be folded in Xu Shiheng's hands, if this is the case...... That's fate.
The old man was so angry in his heart that he calmed down, and he said in a hoarse voice, "The pillars and bolts are now idle, let them go to the mountains and cut down two bamboos." Make me a bamboo bed and come out. ”
When the second and third children heard this, their old bodies trembled. It's September, but the eldest brother wants the most outstanding child in the next generation to go to the mountain to see bamboo, is the purpose really for a bamboo bed? No, that's cornered, let them take refuge in the mountains!
This is the way out they have already discussed, and if things are exposed or do not go well, they will definitely fold in it. Ke Sheng's surname could not be cut off in their hands, so they arranged a way out for future generations.
Of course, for the sake of prudence, the number of descendants who can escape in the end cannot exceed three. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be exposed, and the lives of those three or two people will also be folded inside.
The kind-eyed third child trembled and said, "Big brother, have you already reached that step?" Let's take it slowly, maybe there was an accident on their side? Maybe there's progress later? ”
"Can't wait. Xu Shiheng and the third prince have already taken the inventory of Lifu, and they are now rectifying in Tongzhou Mansion, and the target to be attacked later will definitely be my Sheng family. By tomorrow at the latest, they will definitely come to Jiangji Village. If they don't flee now, I'm afraid they won't be able to flee later. ”
The second and third children were sad at the same time, and the eldest brother said it well, let the children escape, but the world is so big, where can the two fugitives stay?
Although the pillars and bolts stand out, they were also raised by the family, but because of this, the collapse of the family will hit them even harder.
The two boys did not experience any setbacks, and before the people of the Sheng Mansion were imprisoned, they were panicked like frightened birds. This is because there are still a few of their elders to support them, and they have stabilized their minds. But if they are also folded inside, I am afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves.
The heart qi is too high, and the more serious the injury will be if you fall from a height. And although they are peasant boys, they haven't suffered much, let alone experienced a lot of chaos, and then with the two of them, it is difficult to escape from the encirclement and suppression of many guards in Jiangnan.
But they are not afraid, they have been operating in Jiangji Village for many years, and they have long dug tunnels and holes in the mountains for escape. They don't need to run away, they just need to hide in the cave for a month or two, and then no matter how much the encirclement and suppression army will retreat, they just need to change their names and surnames and leave this land of right and wrong, and it is still easy to survive and inherit the incense.
The three old men discussed and decided the matter. They summoned Chunni, who had been guarding outside, to explain the matter.
Chunni answered and was about to leave, but was caught by the old lady who ran out of the house like a madman. "You old goblin, where are you going? Didn't I say you would bring me a bowl of hot water to drink? Why, it's because I'm not in charge of my family, and even you, an old goblin, can bully me? Phew! No matter how I say it, it's also the old lady of this family, no matter how much you old servant woman is a demon, what a slut in the end, dare not listen to me, and I will sell you when I lift your feet. ”
The old lady is old and seems to have a confused brain. Ming Ming Chunni has been cleaning in this house since she was young, and she is responsible for serving the old couple, and nothing happened at that time. As a result, now that several people are buried in their necks, the old lady thinks of Chunni as a vixen who seduces her man. For this reason, the old vixen screamed all day long, and because of this, he scratched Chunni's face, and the whole family turned upside down, which made the people in the village see a joke.
Chunni's eyebrows were impatient, she waved her hand to push the old lady away, but in the end she was afraid of her weak body. The old lady also looked strong, but in fact, her bones and blood had long been boiled dry. She's only been alive for the past two years, what's she worried about with her? Maybe she pushed this and let the old lady go to see her dead son early, which can be regarded as fulfilling her.
Phew, such a good thing, she with her to satisfy her.
Chunni suppressed her temper and said, "Old lady, you didn't tell me to boil water for you just now. Now that I have something to do, I'll walk away for a quarter of an hour. Do you think it's okay to boil water for you when I come back? If you are really thirsty, why don't you go to the master's place to ask for a bowl of tea to drink? ”
The old lady seemed to hear as if she couldn't hear, "I don't drink tea, I don't want others to boil water, and I can't wait." You go and boil water for me now, I want to drink hot water, drink hot water and be in good health, I have to live well, and burn ingots for my family Shiro every day. Otherwise, if I leave, none of you will be able to think of that child, and that child will become a lonely ghost in the future, and his life will be sad......"
As he spoke, he was like a lonely ghost, crying with a whin.
Don't look at this is a blue sky and a white day, but because there are too many evils, Chunni's heart is also very empty. The old lady's hand holding her arm was cold and cold, and the whimpering sound was close to her ear, which made her heart furious, and cold sweat broke out on her head.
While the two were arguing, the door to the room behind them, which had been locked up, opened. The three old men stood inside with pale faces, looking at the two people who were pulling, and the first one was suddenly angry, "Chunni, let you run an errand, are you deaf or lame, don't go quickly." Then he pointed to the trembling old lady, "What are you messing around?" If you really want to drink tea, you come to my house and drink it. The tea in the pot is still full, can it be done for you? ”
Chunni took this opportunity to run away, and the old lady also lowered her eyebrows and looked pitiful. The old man had no pity at all, and only wanted to send her away as soon as possible, so he rebuked, "Go back to the house and rest without tea." How old are you, don't come out and make trouble for your children and grandchildren. With an elder like you, it will be difficult for future generations to be human. ”
The old lady's body trembled even more when she heard this, as if she was suppressing her anger and fear. But she didn't lift her head at last, and without saying a word, she turned slowly and wanted to go back to the house.
At this time, Chunni, who ran out before, had a pale face again, as if a ghost was chasing behind her, and jumped in from outside. "Master, second master, third master, something is wrong. Then Xu Shiheng led the army to our village. Now that the whole village is surrounded, I, they are approaching me before I even go out, and I can't go to Zhuzi's house. ”
When the three old men standing on the steps heard this, their faces changed dramatically at the same time.
Lao Sanwax said with a white face, trembling lips, "How can it be so fast, how can it be so fast?" ”
The second child swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Chunni and said sternly, "If you can't walk on the street, you can climb the wall and take a shortcut to the pillarless house." Don't care what method you use, pass the word on, and let the two children take refuge outside for the next two days. ”
Chunni sighed, but her legs and feet couldn't move. She was terrified, and the soldiers outside were all fierce, and the swords in their hands glowed with white light, and her heart trembled.
The old man with white hair held her still, and couldn't help but roar angrily, "Why don't you go to do something yet, what are you doing here?" ”
Chunni used her hands and feet together this time, rolling and crawling out of the courtyard gate.
There was silence in the courtyard, and the third child spoke, "Big brother, everything is over." ”
The old man with white hair choked up and said, "It's not the last step yet. Until the last moment, we can't let go. Maybe there will be any progress between the big and small children and the three boys, let's wait, wait and wait. ”
"They're not going to make progress, they're not going to come back." The old lady who was holding the door frame with one hand laughed out loud at the moment, and the laughter became louder and louder, and finally she couldn't stand up with her laughter, so she could only sit on the ground with her buttocks. And the tears on her face fell like rain. I don't know if I laughed too hard and cried, or if I thought of something, and I couldn't stop the tears of grief.
The old lady was hoarse when she wanted to, but the three old men were shocked. Especially the eldest one, his body shook twice and then stood up, he waved away the hands of the second and third brothers, and staggered to the old lady to stand firmly, "What did you say?" What do you know? The eldest son and the third boy went out, and I didn't let them come to say goodbye to you, how did you know that they couldn't come back? You say, did you do something to the two of them? ”
"I do it to them, why don't you say they do it to my own son!! My fourth child, I thought he really died in my belly, but that child had a big life and was sent to Sheng Mansion by you to enjoy Qingfu. As a result, he might as well die in my belly. What a good child, only three or four years old, he was drowned by the three boys pushing the water conservancy. How can I be a mother, I don't even know who my own son is? I've lived all my life, and I've raised the beast that killed my own son. It is good for him to marry a wife and take care of the child for him, he has no conscience, he knows that the child is my own, and because I said two words to him, he can push his child into the lake and drown at a young age. ”
