Life: XII

After growing so big, Shi Qiu learned a truth, that is where there are people, there is always a human heart calculating, sometimes it is wrong to be dull and clumsy, sometimes it is wrong to be diligent and excellent.

Su Zhi belongs to the latter, he has worked hard in Liangcheng for so many years, and has paid all his efforts to guard the border pass, but suddenly there is a charge on it, and he is imprisoned.

This is a big crime, who can withstand such a big hat buttoned down?

But fortunately, this case is full of suspicions, and the court did not immediately convict Su Zhi, nor did it implicate Shi Qiu and the child, but only temporarily detained Su Zhi and sent the official in charge of the case to find out this matter carefully.

Shi Qiu felt that this was a great wrong, Su Zhi paid every day and every year, she saw it in her eyes, if she told her that the whole Liangcheng had rebelled, she would never believe that Su Zhi would rebel, and would do things that collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the scars on his body when he fought with the Beidi people couldn't prove it?

But at this time, no one believed her words, and Su Zhi was still temporarily suspended and imprisoned in the prison, not allowing anyone to visit.

Shi Qiu didn't know how much he had suffered inside, so he could only be anxious outside, Shi Qiu's family went to ask the officials of Liangcheng one by one, all those who were familiar with Su Zhi and those who were not familiar with each other begged to go to the door, wanting them to ask Su Zhi to intercede. Someone generously agreed to her request, but most people were afraid that this crime was too serious, for fear of implicating themselves, so they vaguely deduced a few words, so they asked Shi Qiu to go back and wait first.

Waiting at home, watching Xiao Bao'er looking for her father one by one, Shi Qiu's heart was tormented for a few seconds, and after waiting for two more days, there was still no news coming.

I was really anxious to wait, but bad news came from the prison, saying that all kinds of evidence was conclusive, and Su Zhi would be beheaded.

At this moment, Shi Qiu couldn't wait any longer, entrusted the child to the grandaunt at home, went to the yamen alone, sounded the drum in front of the gate, and beat the drum for her husband.

The official in charge of this case did not meet Shi Qiu, a drum sounded from early morning to dusk, and the generals guarding the door persuaded her to go back first and wait for the news.

Shi Qiu's physical strength was exhausted, and he was about to pass out, Aunt Sun took the child to call Shi Qiu home, Shi Qiu looked at the child who was still ignorant and innocent and longed for his mother's arms, and finally got up and went home.

The next day, Shi Qiu went again, many people in Liangcheng heard about it, and some came to knock on it with Qiu, when Su Zhi was an official, he treated the people well, and his good intentions were not only seen by Shi Qiu.

The official sent by the imperial court to take charge of this case finally summoned her, Shi Qiu knelt in the hall, and could only say Su Zhi's merits in a row, but no matter how much he talked about, the official only said that this did not prove that Su Zhi did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.

Shi Qiu didn't understand, if he didn't pay so much for the people of Liangcheng and couldn't prove Su Zhi's innocence, it would be difficult to do it, he had to take out a heart and show it to the superiors!

On the third day, Shi Qiu didn't go to beat the drum anymore, because the gate of the government was closed, and even the drum was carried in, it is said that it was tens of thousands of troops from Beidi, and suddenly arrived dozens of miles away, and now the strength of Liangcheng is simply difficult to resist, and the entire Liangcheng is afraid that it will be precarious.

Some people in the city began to pack up their salutes, but the city gate was closed, and where could they run, so some people hid the valuable things in the house, but they forgot that the Beidi soldiers were the best at slaughtering the city, if they attacked the city, people's lives were not guaranteed, and what did they do with the silver?

In a panic, Shi Qiu ran to the prison in Liangcheng, where there were still guards, and she was not allowed to enter with knives and guns.

Shi Qiu took a deep look at the prison a few times, ran back home, hugged Xiao Bao'er with some dry food, and hid in the cellar, in fact, if the Beidi soldiers attacked and hid in the cellar, would they be able to live? Shi Qiu didn't know, but even if she didn't hide, Xiao Bao'er was still young, and she wanted their children to live, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

From noon to evening, there was no sound of crying outside, Shi Qiu coaxed Xiao Bao'er next to him to sleep, crying silently, not daring to make a sound.

When it was about to get dark, the plank on the cellar entrance was lifted, and Shi Qiu held her breath in fright, but it was Aunt Sun who came to her with his son.

Aunt Sun was happy and excited, her mouth was not good, and she told Shi Qiu that it was Master Su who suddenly appeared, with many soldiers, and drove away all those Beidi people, and now Liangcheng is as stable as usual.

Shi Qiu came out of the cellar and looked at the red sunset on the horizon, and suddenly felt that the development of all these things was like a dream.

She pulled the child and hurriedly ran towards the city gate, crowded into the crowd, and saw Su Zhi returning victoriously in armor from a distance, with the blood of unknown whether it was his own or the enemy's blood.

It turned out that he had never been wronged in the prison, he was just ready to attack, deceive the enemy, and then wait for the enemy to be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Shi Qiu covered her mouth and couldn't stop shedding tears, she thought that in this life, it would be difficult for them to see each other again.

Xiao Bao'er didn't know what was going on, she only knew that her father was a big hero, jumping and jumping, and kept calling "Daddy, Daddy." ”

Su Zhi, who was on the horse, heard the voice, and looked this way, in addition to his happy son, he also saw Shi Qiu's already red eyes, and his body, which had been tortured for many days, became thinner and thinner.

Turning over and dismounting, Su Zhi walked towards his wife and children, squeezed through the crowd, and stretched out his hand to hug Shi Qiu in his arms.

Immediately, the deputy general began to laugh quietly, and his straightforward personality was a little rude when he spoke, saying that Master Su must be thinking about the bright red belly pocket of his daughter-in-law when he cut off the enemy's head.

Some said that don't look at Master Su's majesty outside, he is very terrible at home, he has received so many rewards for his military achievements, and when he goes out for a meal, he has no money in his purse.

While everyone was talking, the people on both sides of the street who heard it also laughed, and Shi Qiu hurriedly pushed away from Su Zhi's arms, blushing and laughing.

At night, Shi Qiu prepared a table of meals, and waited until the middle of the night of the third watch before Su Zhi finished his official business and came back from outside.

Shi Qiu prepared a change of clothes for him, filled the wine of the two of them, and looked at Su Zhi, who was still wearing frost and hard work on his face, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Su Zhi went over, patted his wife's back, and comforted: "I'm worried about you again." ”

Shi Qiu reproached, "You refused to tell me, aren't you afraid that I will think you are dead and turn around and hang yourself?" ”

When Su Zhi heard this, his face instantly sank, "Don't say this kind of thing, you know?" I want you to be well. ”

Shi Qiu's face was full of confusion, "What happened?" One moment you say you're a traitor, the next you become a hero, and my heart feels like I'm on fire for a while, and I'm in ice for a while, and I feel like I can't stand it anymore. ”

The matter is over, and the secret is no longer a secret, Su Zhi said truthfully to Shi Qiu: "At the beginning, someone did frame me for collaborating with the enemy and treason, but this matter was quickly investigated, and it was found that there was another person who was really treasonous. I have already set a trap with my soldiers and waited for them. This time successfully attacked Beidi, I am afraid that they will not be able to slow down in a few years. ”

When Shi Qiu heard this, he put his mind at ease, his mouth pursed, and the boss's man burst into tears again, "I've thought about it, if you die, I won't live alone." ”

After saying this, Su Zhi was silent for a moment, then looked at Shi Qiu and said: "On the battlefield, life and death are common things, even if I have any mistakes, do you remember that you still have Bao'er." ”

When Shi Qiu heard this, he was anxious, "You are talking nonsense, talking nonsense!" ”

"Don't say it, don't say it." Su Zhi smiled, "You know? You've done a great job in this battle. ”

Shi Qiu didn't believe it, "You coax me again, I'm a woman, what great merit can I make?" ”

"If you hadn't broken that drum, and called on the people to beat it with you, I'm afraid that the Beidi people wouldn't be so easy to believe that I have been condemned."

Shi Qiu smiled, "That's right, if it weren't for Xiaobao, I would have beaten that drum a long time ago." ”

Su Zhi picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, drank the wine handed over by Shi Qiu, and said proudly: "My wife is a heroine, and now they are all convinced." ”

"No, those people on the street say that I am a, a tigress, and oppress them, Lord Su."

"No, no, absolutely not."

"Don't you feel wronged by marrying a jealous woman like me?"

"Don't be aggrieved, enjoy it."

Shi Qiu smiled and said strangely: "You will be poor." ”

Su Zhi shook his head, "You have wronged me, Xiao Bao'er will please you better than me." ”

"It's a great thing that the two of you don't get angry with me, which one will please me."

"Two against one, in this way, Madame is really not cost-effective, it is better to ...... like this"

Shi Qiuzheng listened, and when he saw that Su Zhi was speechless, he was curious: "What?" ”

Su Zhi leaned over and whispered in Shi Qiu's ear: "If you want another daughter, wouldn't it be fair to quarrel, I think it's best tonight." ”

"Scoundrel!"

Shi Qiu stretched out his hand and punched Su Zhi hard, Su Zhi pretended to cover his chest, and pointed at Shi Qiu in a half-dead tone: "You, this, this, ...... woman"

Shi Qiu looked at Su Zhi's appearance, laughed until he covered his stomach, laughed, got up and punched Su Zhi again, and said, "You actually call me a!" Looks like I'm really used to you. ”

This time, Su Zhi picked up Shi Qiu in the past and walked towards the separate house, "Little lady, I can't clean you up yet~"
