Chapter 13: A Bloody Case Caused by 150,000 Taels of Silver

Xu was really hungry, Deng Yueru felt that this meal was very fragrant, and ate three bowls of rice in one go, which made Du Sanniang startled, afraid that she would hold on.

Deng Yueru understood in her heart that this was because she used a lot of abilities today and consumed a lot of energy in her body, so she needed food to convert into energy to supplement her body's consumption.

When Deng Yueru had eaten a good meal, Du Sanniang had already fed Deng Qianshan and drank the eel porridge and drank the decoction.

After Shuangxi and Xiaoque cleaned up the dishes, Deng Yueru sat down next to the bed again, looking at Deng Qianshan and Du Sanniang with anticipation.

"Okay, since your father promised you, he won't break his promise."

Looking at Deng Yueru, who was rarely sitting obediently and waiting, Du Sanniang shook her head funny.

"Your father can't talk much, so it's better for your mother to tell you about the past."

pulled the thin quilt on Deng Qianshan's body, Du Sanniang held Deng Qianshan's hand and began to recall the past.

"Our family used to run a dart game, and after my mother and your father got married, your father took over the business of the dart game from your grandfather. Our dart bureau is honest, all darts have never missed, in this Yunzhou territory, it is also one of the best dart games, friends on the rivers and lakes do not give a little face. ”

"I remember that it was ten years ago, because it was almost your fifth birthday, so my mother remembered it very clearly. One day, Pei Guangyuan, the magistrate of Qingyun County, sent someone to invite your father, saying that he wanted to ask our dart bureau to help him take a dart, and the dart was a batch of official silver to be sent to the capital, with a number of 150,000 taels. ”

"Because it is a dart for the government, and the goods are a huge amount of silver, your grandfather did not dare to slack off, so he went with your father to escort the dart car, while your mother stayed at home to take care of the young business of you and the dart board.

I thought that no one would dare to rob the goods of the imperial court, but as soon as they left the boundary of Yunzhou Mansion, the dart team encountered a group of black-clothed masked people who came to rob the darts. The masked men were numerous, and they were strong in martial arts and quick in action, and your grandfather was seriously injured and died while he was a bodyguard. ”

Speaking of this, Deng Qianshan clenched Du Sanniang's hand and motioned for her to speak by herself next.

"Although all the dart masters bravely guarded the darts, the number of people was so disparity that the dart cart was still hijacked. At that time, the dart master who went to escort the dart was almost dead and wounded, and my father and I were seriously injured and fell in the pile of dead people.

But just before I was seriously injured and fell unconscious, I actually saw Pei Guangyuan's dog officer actually appear among the men in black, and I watched him let the man in black pull the dart cart away. It wasn't until this time that I realized that it was fake that he asked us to bet on darts, and that it was true that he wanted to rob the official silver halfway.

It's hateful that we were all blinded by his lies, and we didn't discover Pei Guangyuan's sinister intentions. ”

"When I woke up, Pei Guangyuan, the man in black and the dart cart were gone. I found the wounded Zhang Xin in the pile of dead people, and with him brought your grandfather's body back to the dart board. And the bodies of the other dart masters, we have no ability to take them away, so we can only bury them on the spot.

After returning to the dart game, for fear of Pei Guangyuan's revenge, I buried your grandfather overnight, and then disbanded the dart game, and fled with the dart masters and their families who were unwilling to leave. Fortunately, our speed was fast, and the next day, Pei Guangyuan brought someone to the dart game, and when he found that the dart game had been empty, he let people burn the dart board. ”

"It turned out that after Pei Guangyuan transported the official silver away, he also sent people back to dispose of the corpse, only to find that the corpses were buried, they dug up the corpses for inventory, and found that I was not dead, so they brought people to the dart bureau to arrest me.

Seeing that I had run away, Pei Guangyuan was afraid that he would steal from prison and that the robbery of the official silver would be exposed, so he issued an official document for the capture of the official silver, saying that I had colluded with the bandits and embezzled the 150,000 taels of silver under the pretense that the official silver had been robbed. ”

"I took the people of the dart game with me, and I fled all the way, and I was chased and killed all the way. Later, he reluctantly fled into the dangerous Luoyun Mountain Range, established this Luoyun Village, and fell into the grass. In the past ten years, Pei Guangyuan has not given up trying to kill us.

This time, it was I who found out that Pei Guangyuan and his men had come to a small town near Luoyun Mountain, so I wanted to kill him and avenge your grandfather and those brothers who died in vain, but I didn't expect to fall into his trap instead, not only seriously injured myself, but also killed several brothers. Ay! ”

Deng Qianshan spoke very lightly and slowly because of his health, but the hatred contained in those words was something that Deng Yueru would not hear wrong.

It was only at this time that Deng Yueru knew that there was such an amazing secret hidden behind their family's falling grass.

"For so many years, the greatest wish of my father and mother and your three uncles is to be able to slash the enemy and remove the charge of robbing the official silver from everyone's heads. Let the people in the cottage live in the town in a bright and bright life, instead of hiding in the dangerous Luoyun Mountain like now. ”

Du Sanniang was afraid that Deng Qianshan would be tired, so after he finished speaking, she hurriedly fed him half a cup of warm water. Seeing that Deng Qianshan's condition was fine, he looked at Deng Yueru with confidence.

"Actually, your father is so anxious to kill the dog officer, in addition to avenging everyone, it is also for you. After all, you are gradually growing up, your father and mother really don't want you to become a bandit for the rest of your life, your father and mother want to see you get married in a beautiful way, just like an ordinary girl, and live a peaceful and ordinary life. ”

"Father, mother, since it was Pei Guangyuan who guarded and stole himself and planned the robbery, then why didn't you go to the state capital to report him in the first place? Is there no evidence, or is it afraid that the officials will protect each other? ”

After listening to Deng Qianshan's words, Deng Yueru felt a little strange.

Even if he is afraid of the protection of officials and officials, but for such a big thing as the robbery of official silver, the court's attention to it will definitely not be small, and it will inevitably send someone down to investigate. If someone sues at this time, no one will dare to cover up this matter easily.

"Hey, you don't know, the prefect of Yunzhou Mansion is Pei Guangyuan's brother Pei Guangqing, the two brothers controlled the Yunzhou Mansion, and my father was hiding with a large group of people at that time, and there was no chance to go out of Yunzhou to complain."

sighed deeply, why didn't Deng Qianshan want to sue back then, and return his innocence to the dart game.

It's a pity that the Pei family has been in charge of Yunzhou for many years, and all the roads leading to the outside world have been blocked by officers and soldiers, otherwise Deng Qianshan would not have taken people with him back then, and he had no choice but to flee into the mountains.

"Dad, mother, you don't have to worry, I will definitely avenge this revenge, and I will definitely protect the cottage. Dad, you just need to recuperate with peace of mind, your daughter has grown up, and these things will be left to your daughter. ”

Knowing this grudge, Deng Yueru immediately felt that the burden on her body was heavier.

originally thought that they were simply bandit villages here, but they didn't expect that they were the thorns in the eyes and flesh of the prefect and the governor, and they wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. In this way, it is even more important for the construction of cottages.

Seeing that Du Sanniang frowned disapprovingly when she heard her words, Deng Yueru hurriedly grabbed her and Deng Qianshan's hands.

"Mother, since it was Pei Guangyuan, the dog official, who framed our family back then, if he doesn't die, or if the truth about this matter is not revealed, we will never be able to live a peaceful life. For our own sake, for the sake of all the copycat people, I will also find a way to solve this matter. Believe me! ”
