Of course, Nian's was not alive.

On that day, the old lady was "hostaged" out of the palace by the beautiful scenery, she wished that Aunt Li would do something to her, with a wound on her face, and she happened to splash in front of the palace, planting a notoriety for the princess of Chu, especially the princess, and also calculated the evil spirit held in her chest.

Aunt Li even handed over Nian's hands to her own daughters-in-law to help her daughters-in-law steady, and then she stepped back flexibly with her hands and feet, ignoring Nian's loud noise, and didn't look back.

In the next day, although it is quieter than outside, there are still pedestrians.

In front of everyone's eyes, Nian's was not easy to fall down, only took the crutches handed by his daughter-in-law with one hand, and scolded word by word, and his full momentum made the onlookers sigh - this old lady has a good body and bones, and she is a long-lived person.

Nian's mouth was dry and irritable, and no one poured out of the palace to drive him away, so he was disappointed and gasped to board the car and go home.

Many of the Xie family's servants witnessed her return unscathed and menacing.

Nian Shi returned to the house, drank two cups of ginseng tea in one breath to quench his thirst, and listened to Zhan's mother come in to report, saying that he had received the news from the Shuntian Mansion earlier, Xie Qi's case was concluded, and the punishment was two years in prison and eighty rods, although the ransom stipulated by the law was only 100 yuan, but Xie Qi was not an incumbent official, although he was a noble child, there must be no one to write for him to ask the saint to "discuss the noble atonement", that is to say, it is not within the scope of the ransom according to the law.

Because of the blow just now, the Nian clan also cut off the idea of coercing the Chu Wangfu to intercede, and it was impossible to ask the prince of Zhenguo.

Seeing that there would be no room for Xie Qi to turn around for ten days at most, Nian's family was anxious.

Eighty canes to beat people, although they can buy off the servants without being ruthless, it is already a cruel punishment for a fine-skinned and tender-fleshed boy like Xie Qi, if he doesn't die, he has to lose half his life, and then throw him into the camp to work day and day, it won't take two years, and at most two months will he die of a violent illness.

The third master has no connections in his hands, so he can only rely on huge sums of money to get through and buy him, so that he can hope to save Xie Qi's life.

As soon as Nian was in a hurry, he asked people to quickly invite a few sons to negotiate, she really had no other way to raise money, and there was no response from Shuozhou Bofu, even if Nian didn't want to believe that the brothers would sit on the wall and watch and still have expectations, Xie Qi couldn't stand the delay, the old lady wanted to squeeze the small treasury of her sons, and she really had to mobilize her daughter-in-law to take out the dowry to solve the urgent need first.

In view of the fact that Xie Qi is the eldest son, the eldest son and daughter-in-law naturally did not want to mobilize, and the Nian family only asked for two, three, and four.

And because the previous sons had opinions on cutting the cost of each room and spending money to exonerate Xie Qi, they quarreled a few times, and the Nian family also knew that this time it was a tough battle, and it was difficult to persuade, so they had to move out of the elder's frame to threaten them, for fear that the servants would see that it was too disagreeable, so they deliberately sent away the idlers, leaving only the Zhan family to guard outside and not let people snoop, especially the beautiful maid raised by the third master in the courtyard, Nian's eyes were dazzled and impetuous, and he ordered a lock to be temporarily trapped in the firewood room.

The first to come was the third child, he heard the third wife say that for Xie Qi's sake, his mother went to the Chu Wangfu to make a fuss, and he didn't take advantage of it, but took his own humiliation, and his heart was on fire - I don't know what kind of evil the father and mother of the family have fallen into, and they only envelop Yu Dong, can't you see that Yu Dong is a dou who can't help up, the real wealth is the father and son of the King of Chu, but he offended others, how can he want to cling to Tuli and have such a vicious voice, looking at the father and son of the King of Chu is tofu pinching?

The third child originally wanted to persuade his mother to come to the door to confess his crimes, and then ignore Xie Qi, and plan for the future of his two sons.

"Brother Qi is the eldest grandson, how can we ignore the difficulties at this time, your eldest brother is so anxious about his affairs that he has poisonous sores on his mouth, and he is running around outside without touching his feet......"

The third child rolled his eyes - several Yangzhou skinny horses in the boss's yard were "reduced" and sold, can he not be in a hurry to get on fire? Accompany those officials and nobles to eat and drink spicy food every day, but is it not that his feet do not touch the ground? and his heart was filled with anger.

"You and the boss are my own children, real siblings, if you want to make a compromise between the second and fourth concubines, you have to take this lead." Of course, Nian's also saw the dissatisfaction of the third child, his face was even heavier, and he talked eloquently about the detailed accounts one by one, counting the benefits of the three-room business over the years, not the second and fourth can be compared: "Don't complain about my partiality, who let Qi'er be framed, it is important to save his life, you are the third uncle...... That's it, I won't let the dowry of the third daughter-in-law move, and I have to prepare for the marriage of your head children, I have calculated an account with you, and you will not be able to deal with three or two thousand silver......

Nian didn't speak, and the third child exploded: "Mother, you said it lightly, I have taken a lot of silver to make up for the family's deficit these days, and the savings of those years have already bottomed out, and the eldest brother has doubled my money. Say it and who believes! When Brother Qi entered the country, I also made up no less than three or two thousand, and it was easy to watch the election to go to the household department to watch the government, but he did not become a weapon himself, not only did he not get half of the official position to glorify the family, but he learned to cheat people and money, not to mention the burial of the future, but also to disgrace the family, he should know the lesson...... Whoever gives birth to a son is in charge, and I am not the prime minister, so I don't have the stomach to accommodate the rotten ship of Brother Qi. ”

Flirting with the robe was about to go away, only to come together, I felt a dull pain on the shoulder, it turned out that Nian picked up the crutches and hit him, in the end, his own son couldn't bear to be ruthless, but Nian was really angry, and he picked up the tea and splashed the old man's face, pulling him for a long time "unfilial piety" scolding.

The third couldn't help but grab his arm, Nian fell into the chair, the old lady was so angry that her eyes were cracked, the old tears were rampant, and she smashed the empty cup at the third child, this time in the forehead.

The third child was in pain, covered his forehead and didn't look closely, and picked up a celadon flower bottle set up on the desk, originally thinking of smashing it on the ground to relieve his anger, but he lost his hand and hit the top of Nian's head!

It was in the air, the third child had no strength in his hands, and the flower bottle was born on the top of the old lady's head and "bloomed", Nian's voice did not respond, and his body slipped and fell to the ground as soon as he was soft, and blood overflowed on his forehead.

At this time, the third child panicked, and thought that he had killed his mother, but instead of helping, his first reaction was to flee.

In a hurry, he still remembered that Zhan's mother was guarding the front of the yard, for fear of being blocked, and slipped around the corner door of the backyard.

The third lady was stunned, and it took a long time to react and ask what was going on, and the third wife calmed down a little and said carefully, the third wife squatted on the kang with a buttocks, not daring to raise her voice, but she pulled the third child's sleeve and didn't let go: "You ran away like this, what should I do if I and my children are at home, and I haven't been stripped of a layer of skin by Weng Dad and the eldest brother, how can I live, and where can you run......

The third child also had no idea, and the couple couldn't come up with a charter after discussing it, so they could only hope that the third wife would not cover up the matter because of the ugliness of the family, and waited in the house in fear.

He also said that Zhan's mother, at first she heard a quarrel in the house, and knew that Nian didn't want her subordinates to listen to her ears, so she consciously avoided the west side of the corridor again, and vaguely heard something broken on the ground, but she didn't care - the family was full of temper, and they liked to talk at the top of their voices when they didn't agree with each other, and it was not uncommon to smash the utensils in the house.

After a while, she didn't hear any movement, Zhan's mother became more and more relieved, thinking that the third master had softened, and the mother and son reconciled.

Not long after, seeing the second master come in, Zhan's mother thought that she had been "called" by the Nian family, so she didn't come forward to salute, let alone stop it.

The second child saw that the courtyard was silent, and he was muttering in his heart, but he didn't notice that there was a dusty old woman standing in the porch.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he turned outside the curtain of the east room, coughed first, and said respectfully: "Mother, my son is here, may he come in?" ”

The second child is a concubine, so naturally he will not be as casual as the eldest and the third, even if he complains a little in his heart, the second elder does not dare to confront him in person, and he scolds the "old fool" twice behind his back with a sneering face.

After waiting for a while, I didn't hear Nian's words, the second child was just and suspicious, and listened carefully to catch a faint moaning sound, the second child was surprised, and he didn't care about paying attention to etiquette, and opened the curtain to take a look.

Nian Shi was really old and strong, and he only fainted briefly after being smashed, and at this time, he was covering his forehead and trying to stand up, but blood continued to ooze from his fingers.

The second child was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Nian Shi sit in the chair, while asking what was going on.

In the end, the old lady wants to protect her own son, and she can't let the third child carry a charge of "disobedience and unfilial piety", at this time, the pain in her head is unbearable, and she no longer has the strength to roar, and she can't stop wheezing when she says a few words.

If you want to say that you knocked it, it can't be covered, there is still a broken flower bottle on the ground, there is no possibility of "accidentally" breaking the flower bottle and making the head bleed, Nian's is anxious, and he is a little unscrupulous.

"Don't ask...... "Just say that you are the ...... of the wrong hand" "You have always been filial...... "I will intercede for you......" "At most, it will be a few boards...... "No one will be held accountable." ”

When you open your mouth, you have to make the second child admit the charge of "disobedience and hurting his mother".

The second child's soul was scattered, and he knelt on the ground with weak knees, of course he didn't dare to agree to come down, crying and begging Nian not to wronged him, and he had to be skinned by his father and brother.

The old lady lost too much blood, only to feel that Venus was dancing in front of her, chaotic, two arms and a pair of "eagle claws" on the shoulders of the second child, most of the weight of the body pressed down, lifting the dantian a force, and said a smooth cruel word: "You have to admit it, you have to admit it, if you are willing to admit it, I will also intercede for you and say that you missed it for a while, if you quibble, I will say that you have intentions, and send you to the government to be punished for a rebellious capital crime." ”

The second child's frightened eyes were full of Nian's blood-soaked hideous face, and when he heard such vicious words, his mind was blank, and he only kept echoing the word "capital crime", and his heart was broken, and he just wanted to get out, but he was pressed to death by Nian's like a return to light.

The second child panicked and couldn't break free, and felt that Nian's was the demon Shura, so he grabbed Nian's arm with his backhand and shoved it to the side-

Located in Nian's house is a few square corners, the corners are sharp, Nian's body tilted his temple just hit it, this impact is more deadly than just now, even the skull is broken!

Nian fell to the ground, but he didn't faint, and his hands grabbed the ankles of the rebel who didn't have time to pull his legs.

The second child was completely distracted, and he couldn't kick Nian's claws, but he fell down, and turned around to see Nian's lips with a satisfied smile, which was eerie.

Wicked woman!

The second child rushed to the heavenly spirit with malice, and wanted to get out earlier, and finally strangled Nian's neck with both hands, and the mother and son carried out this life-and-death battle in silence, and the seriously injured Nian naturally had no power to fight back.

The eyes were round, and the ten fingers were still tightly gripping the ankle of the second child.

The second child wasted all his strength to break Nian's fingers one by one, and finally managed to get out, stumbling out, covered with blood.

This time, he didn't go through the back door like the third child, and was looked at by the Zhan family.

Zhan, who was full of doubts, realized that something was wrong, and hesitantly entered the room, lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked-

On the ground, Nian's face was full of hideous eyes, his temples seemed to be broken, blood gushed out, and the ten fingers spread on the ground were still twisted inward, like a demon seeking his life.

Jen stumbled and fell.

A scream resounded through the silent courtyard—

In front of the courtyard gate, the fourth child was about to enter, and he was followed by the younger son who was drinking with his younger son just now, and he heard that the Nian family had something to discuss and rushed over to find out.
