Chapter 4 Misfortune Strikes
When the rabble led by Chen Youliang left, and Zhu Chongba wanted to find Chu Liuyan to vent his anger, he found that she had long since disappeared.
Chu Liuyan also saw the fire outside, so he deliberately ran out to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, she saw that Chen Youliang's rebel army had arrived, and she didn't want to get involved in these things, and she was afraid that her father would worry, so she hurried home.
Chu Gaoyuan was worried about his daughter, and when he saw her come back, he was a little relieved, so he asked her what happened.
Chu Liuyan told the story of the rebel army burning down the porridge shed, and said: "The government built this porridge shed, and it was finally able to save many people." The rebels did this a bit too much. β
"What Liuyan said is," Chu Gaoyuan sighed: "But the world is not good, what can be done?" As a last resort, we will take out all our hundreds of catties of grain to help the people.
"Dad, are you really willing to do this?" Chu Liuyan's eyes widened: "Dad, the people of the whole county will be grateful to you." β
After such a toss, it was already the middle of the night. The moon moved westward, and the light shone on the continent at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and a few families were happy and a few were sad.
Chu Liuyan and her father summed up for a while, and then went to rest separately.
There is a saying: If you have nothing to do at home, disaster will come from heaven. The next day, Chu Liuyan was woken up by a loud noise.
She straightened her clothes and went out to look. I found that the courtyard was full of people from the government. Her father was arguing with the leading officer.
The official Chu Liuyan knew, his surname was Hu, and he was the brother-in-law of the county official Du Ziyue.
Before, there was a time when Chu Liuyan went shopping and was taken by Du Ziyue's baby son. Du Zi said that he asked his brother-in-law Hu Lai to bring a lot of people and carry the bride price to propose marriage.
Of course, Chu Liuyan refused to marry, so Hu Lai took someone to rob his relatives, but as a result, this group of people were all beaten by Chu Liuyan with flowers on their faces, standing up, and crawling back.
In the end, of course, this family business did not work out. It is said that Du Pippen is also making a fuss about jumping Yueyang Tower.
Because of this incident, the Chu family and the Liang Zi of the county government are considered to be married.
Early this morning, Chu Liuyan saw that Hu Lai had brought more people and surrounded the courtyard "mightily", so she didn't feel angry.
She walked up to Hu Lai and spitted, "Hu Lai, what are you doing this time?" Did you hit you too lightly last time? β
When Hu Lai saw Chu Liuyan, he was afraid in his heart. However, he still mustered up the courage to say, "Chu Liuyan, don't be complacent. You can't get away with today's events. There was a fire in the porridge shed last night, and someone reported to the old man that your father did it. I was ordered to arrest people today. This is the approval of the government. After speaking, he took out the approval document and showed it to Chu Liuyan.
Chu Liuyan took it, threw it to the ground and said, "What kind of approval did the government order, isn't it Du Ziyue who has the final say?" The porridge shed was burned by Chen Youliang's people, why did you accuse my father? β
Hu Lai stomped his feet and shouted: "Someone saw your father appear at the porridge shed last night, it wasn't your father who did it, who did it?" Everyone knows that Chen Youliang is a member of the Yamen, don't frame people here, be careful to arrest you into the Yamen! β
"Oh?" Chu Liuyan snorted: "According to what you say, our family stole five hundred taels of silver today. You've been here before, and you're all about it? β
Hu Lai saw that he couldn't talk about Chu Liuyan, so he waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "Don't pay attention to her, lock up the old one first!" β
Chu Liuyan put on a posture and said, "Who dares to touch my father, don't blame me for beating him all over the ground again!" β
Hu Lai shook the fan in his hand and said very elegantly: "Chu Liuyan, this time we are prepared, but we are not afraid of you." Get your bows and arrows readyβ"
After Hu finished speaking, all the officials raised their bows and arrows in their hands. Aimed at Chu Liuyan's father and daughter.
Chu Liuyan dragged Hu Lai over, held him sideways in front of him, and shouted, "If you want to shoot, shoot it." Let's let the dog officer's brother-in-law die with us. β
Hu Lai's face was wet with sweat in fright, and he pleaded with Chu Liuyan: "Auntie, female Bodhisattva, eldest lady, I'm just joking, don't get excited, don't get excited-"
Chu Liuyan said coldly: "I have long known that Du Ziyue is that dog official, and I held a grudge because I refused to marry last time. This time it was deliberately planted to blame. β
"Yes, yes......" Hu Lai is now meat on the board, no matter what Chu Liuyan said, he could only nod his head and agree like a chicken pecking rice.
"Don't worry nonsense, you guys shoot me! I'm responsible for shooting someone! Suddenly, someone shouted.
Chu Liuyan looked up, and at some point, there was Du Pipong, the son of Du Ziyue, in front of him. He was originally a gentleman, he couldn't lift his hands, he couldn't resist his shoulders, he couldn't know half a basket, he knew every day that he was fighting cocks and lackeys, sleeping flowers and sleeping willows, and he didn't care about the affairs of the yamen. But this time, when he heard that Chu Gaoyuan was arrested, he was the first to actively participate.
He knew that Chu Liuyan knew martial arts, and he was afraid of her from the bottom of his heart, so he kept hiding behind and didn't dare to come out. It wasn't until Hu Lai was arrested and the situation was deadlocked that he came out to command.
What Hu Lai regrets most now is that when this nephew was just born, he didn't strangle him to death, so that he left it to this day and let him harm himself. The thought of how he had become a hedgehog made him almost pee his pants.
At this moment, Chu Gaoyuan stood up and said, "You put down your bow and arrows, and I will go back to the yamen with you." I, Chu Gaoyuan, do things above board and above, and I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, can the yamen still wronged me? β
"Daddy......" Chu Liuyan was just about to say something to stop him, but was interrupted by Chu Gaoyuan: "Liuyan, you are so good at home watching it, wait for me to come back." β
Du Pippen waved his hand and shouted, "Lock up Chu Gaoyuan for me!" Fast! Those servants rushed up and locked Chu Gaoyuan up.
Chu Liuyan pushed Hu Lai away, wanting to grab her father.
Hu Lai fell to the ground with a "poof", and was stunned for a long time without moving. One of the officials came up to pull him, only to find that Du Pippen had just ordered the arrows to be released, which frightened him into fainting.
Chu Gaoyuan was taken out of the Chu family by the officials. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Chu Liuyan to take good care of his home and wait for him to come back.
Chu Liuyan had a premonition in his heart: Looking south at the gate of the yamen, it was not easy to come out when he entered the yamen!
