Chapter 170: The Covenant (10)

It didn't take much effort to pick a basket full of autumn patterns.

Out of the pine forest, after the market, back to the house, Na Huan'er has not woken up, he turned over, his mouth is still dreaming.

Ladies and gentlemen, how to entertain Wang Yunzhan of Ningbei at noon, let it go for a while. Let's follow in the footsteps of Shi Ximo and quietly show what the situation in Jiangcheng is.

To Ximo's surprise, Jiangcheng was in chaos.

After those thieves were gone or destroyed, they stopped for a while, but there were new thieves infested, and the first place they went to was Jiangcheng, a prosperous and wealthy place.

Why are there so many thieves?

It is a human being, and they all have a heart for goodness. Are you willing to be a thief?

In fact, it is because the faint monarch has recently implemented a measure and added a tax. The rich are okay, but the poor are even more miserable. Poverty leads to change. But it has driven the poor to a dead end, and the poor have the courage to be thieves. Anyway, it's all dead, so it's better to get out and just be a thief. These people fled to Jiangcheng and looted the homes of the rich first.

So, what did Xue Rencun do too much?

So where is Shi Yuan?

There are twists and turns.

The thieves entered Jiangcheng, and the number was not large, but it was a rabble. However, because many poor people could not pay their taxes and could not even survive, they simply brought their kitchen knives and axes and joined the rebellion. That's right, one of the thieves' leader is named Qian Xiaowu, and he has studied for a few years and entered a private school, but he got to the point where he couldn't pay taxes when he sold his land and land, and his wife fell ill and died. His parents also died of hunger. This provoked Qian Xiaowu to rebel. He took dozens of brothers to lurk in Jiangcheng, originally just wanted to rob the house, get some ready-made money, and go to another place immediately, in short, it is best to be uncertain.

Unexpectedly, in his eyes, Jiangcheng, which has always been prosperous and rich, has also seen so many poor people. They are all willing to submit to Qian Xiaowu and are willing to follow him. Some even raised their fists and shouted: "I am willing to cut my whole body, and pull the emperor off the horse." In ancient times, there was Chen Shi Wu Guang, and there are now Jiangcheng Qian Xiaowu! ”

I don't know who spread it, this Qian Xiaowu's reputation has become big, and in a few days, more and more people have defected to him. Qian Xiaowu didn't want to do this, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to bite the bullet. Qian Xiaowu's men and horses quickly controlled most of Jiangcheng. Prior to this, Na Shi Yuan had already taken his second son Shi Yuquan and a group of entourages to other places to set up a printing and dyeing bureau. Shi Yuan didn't know anything about the situation in Jiangcheng.

That's what Xue Rencun has a headache for, why haven't these thieves been played yet?

In his heart, he actually remembered the benefits of Liu Jianran for a while. In the end, these headhunters under his subordinates are used to living a good life, and they are all afraid of death. Qian Xiaowu, at the instigation of everyone, was about to attack the Yamen, and they shouted that they would capture Rencun alive. Rencun was frightened, and it was too late to ask Xue Yan to return to the yamen, so in order to protect himself, he rolled up the gold and silver overnight, walked the path, and returned to his old father's house in the countryside. The snow goose didn't know it.

Shi Fu was naturally the target of Qian Xiaowu's looting. He inquired that although the people in this mansion were big officials, the old man was not there, and those who stayed in the mansion were old, weak, sick and disabled. Mrs. Shi heard that another thief had entered Jiangcheng, and the problem in her leg was immediately cured, so she got out of bed that night and came to Madam Yu to discuss countermeasures. Lady Jade had a sad look on her face. The old lady sighed: "Could it be that there is really a catastrophe in Shifu, no matter how you dodge, you can't avoid it?" ”

Aunt Sun and Aunt Wen also came over.

Aunt Wen advocated that it was better to go to Panlong Temple to hide. "It seems like a blessed place. Didn't a thief come last time, but then it wasn't cleaned up. In my opinion, with this experience, those thieves will not dare to harass. After all, it is the land of Buddhism, and they still have taboos in their hearts. ”

Aunt Wen was wrong in what she said.

That Qian Xiaowu knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tiger mountains. He also used Panlong Temple as a base. What happened to the pure heart Miao Yuanying and the others in the Panlong Temple, ladies and gentlemen, and listen to me slowly.

Aunt Wen had little knowledge and said the wrong thing, but at this moment, the old lady and Mrs. Yu thought that Aunt Wen's words made sense. Yes, that place is an obscure place for thieves, and once they know the origin, they must retreat with their men.

In other words, as soon as Shi Yuan and Yuquan left, Aunt Sun's life was even more difficult. Madame Jade didn't want to see her at all. Originally, Aunt Sun and her son's concubine Kidney Douer had already gone to the crystal view. When the cow Dao Po got the news, she was very happy. That night, he served wine and food, and said nonsense all night. Niu Daopo taught Aunt Sun a lot of side ways. Of course, these evil seven tricks were all spent by Aunt Sun. Niu Daopo no matter how good her relationship is, she doesn't want to tell her empty. Aunt Sun only stayed in the crystal for three or five days, and then she heard that something had happened in Jiangcheng, and another thief had entered the city.

Aunt Sun was afraid. Crystal View is a suburb. She was worried that the thieves would be stationed here first, so she hurriedly said goodbye with Kidney Bean. Niu Daopo is also a shrewd person, her crystal view is authentic, and she also hid it from Aunt Sun. As soon as Aunt Sun left, Niu Dao took the gold and silver tickets into the tunnel, and after walking for half a night, she left Jiangcheng, not caring about the life or death of those little Dao aunts and nearby villagers.

After Aunt Sun and Kidney Dou'er came back in disgrace, Mrs. Yu naturally didn't give her a good face. However, the thief was already in the city, and Mrs. Yu didn't want to talk to her more, so at this moment, Aunt Sun still obediently didn't speak, said less, and made her less angry. Mrs. Shi left the male servant butler, and took Mrs. Yu and all the young maids to Panlong Temple for refuge. Why did you keep the mantai? In the end, the male servants still have a little bit of blood. The old maids also remained at home, and the thieves would not be kind to them. Young, good-looking, will encounter danger, or go along.

Mrs. Shi quickly packed up the fine soft silver tickets and light calligraphy and paintings, and prepared to take advantage of the night, the big guy rode a horse and hurried to Panlong Temple. She had already sent someone to report the news. Aunt Wen's leg injury healed, and she followed Mrs. Yu to do a little bit of odd work. Mrs. Yu didn't want to bring Aunt Sun with her, so she deliberately said in front of the old lady: "You have always been a capable person. You have also been a home to this history for many years. I know you're a talented one. Now, I still let you show your talents, the old lady and I are going to the temple, you will stay and guard the door, if a thief arrives, you just open the door to greet you. ”

Madame Jade was ready to be ransacked in the mansion. There's no escaping it. The flowers and trees in this house, and the toys that can't be taken away, are all about to be destroyed. Aunt Sun didn't do it, she thought that staying was sending her to death, and she whimpered and cried: "Why do I have to stay?" I'm also old, so I should follow the old lady. She begged the old lady again.

Mrs. Yu said: "You are different, I left you to be the head of these people." This is the weight I owe to you. ”

When Aunt Sun heard this, she was even more afraid.

Although Mrs. Jade made a mistake in this move, she also had a bright place in her heart. After thinking about it, she felt that this group of thieves was only for the sake of robbing the house, not just for money. She deliberately placed silver taels in a conspicuous place in the hall, and the thieves searched for them. With the money, you can save the life of the old servant in the house. She had already told the old servants that if the thieves came, she would deliberately lead them over and let them search. Only Aunt Sun doesn't know.

Aunt Sun begged the old lady, but the old lady didn't bother to pay attention to her, but instead scolded: "Why are you so verbose? Your life is your life, but the life of these subordinates is not? When the catastrophe comes, why don't you see them wordy? Who is not raised by his father and mother, and you are expensive? Shut up with me, or I'll sell you!" ”

Aunt Sun knew that she had fallen into Mrs. Yu's trap, and her status plummeted. Since Mrs. Yu is at home, some of the subordinates who were bullied by Aunt Sun back then will bring out the bad things that Aunt Sun has done one by one. Mrs. Yu remembered the suffering of Ximo when she was a child, and she blamed herself even more, but she also hated the Sun family even more, so she just wanted to get her out immediately. No, it was cheaper for her to be thrown out, so she had to be sent to prison and be in prison for the rest of her life.

Aunt Sun refused to shut up.

The old lady, Mrs. Yu, Aunt Wen, and the three girls shared a big carriage, and Aunt Sun whimpered and howled behind, and followed closely. The old lady motioned to the coachman to speed up. Aunt Sun couldn't keep up, so she fell a big heel, and when she finally got up, the carriage had already gone away. Aunt Sun touched her bloody face, and said hatefully in her mouth: "This is to leave me, regardless of my life or death, right?" Auntie and grandmother are not easy to bully! When you hide in the temple and hang out with the nuns, do you think you're going to end well? Then I'll find out your title deeds in this mansion, and take advantage of this mess to sell them all in one go! ”

Aunt Sun was extremely annoyed and didn't care about it.

sold the title deed of Shifu's real estate, took the silver ticket, and went back to his parents' house with one heart. No, no, I can't go back to my mother's house. They are all a bunch of vampires who don't know how to be satisfied, and they are not greedy enough. Just find a place, hide first, and when you settle down, go to find the old man's son. Hum! She rolled her eyes a few times, don't those thieves like silver? Then take the initiative to find the door, send a lot of silver first, and trick them into killing the damned old lady and the fake merciful Yu clan! No, together with the lowly Wen family, and the three girls who don't know what to do, they were all killed, leaving no trouble!

At present, Qian Xiaowu's gang of thieves has not gone to Panlong Temple, and temporarily lives in the house of a large family surnamed Wang who has escaped, and considers himself the master. Yiying's eating and drinking is only several times better than that big household.

Before the old lady left the Shi Mansion, she had dismissed several of Yuquan's concubines. Some people are willing to go, without saying a word, kowtow, receive the silver, roll up the baggage, and leave immediately. Some people are reluctant to go, crying and crying. The old lady showed no mercy. There is only one kidney bean, who swore not to leave, saying that he would rather not be a concubine, and would like to be Aunt Sun's maid, and after saying this, he kowtowed to the old lady, kowtowed to Mrs. Yu, and kowtowed to Aunt Wen and the three young ladies. The old lady said, "That's it." ”

Aunt Sun touched her bloody forehead, and the kidney bean hurried over to help.

"Auntie, you're fine, are you?"

Aunt Sun had a gloomy face: "I'm fine." She sucked all the blood on her hands into her mouth, and said coldly: "Kidney Bean, let's go back." I'll show you, Auntie, my really good means! ”
