Chapter 30: The Family Gives Birth

After Chu Fan crossed over, what he felt most deeply was the slavery system.

Of slavery, there is nothing more hated than the family system.

Not one of them.

So after seeing the scene that happened by the boundary river, he immediately instinctively judged that what Yan Yi said was all true, and his chest burned with anger.

If Yan Yi is really a child, not to mention property, even the life and death of himself and his children belong to the master, and he would never dare to shout so on the street.

No matter who he is, he was forced to do this, his property was taken away, his daughter was robbed, and he really had to fight to the death.

It turned out that Yan Yi was from Qinghe Township, Yangwu County, and was indeed the son of the Zhang family.

Twenty years ago, Li Guo and Ji Guo fought a war. The army of Ji once forced into Qingyun County, burning, killing and looting.

Zhang Dahu was seriously ill and difficult to walk at that time, and he was bold and righteous. He immediately scattered all his belongings, dismissed the slaves, and burned the slave deeds in public, leaving him alone in the empty house to die.

Several old slaves were grateful for Zhang Dahu's kindness, and refused to get rid of their slave status, and were willing to take care of him on his last journey and die with him. Yan Yi and his father took Zhang Ruidong, the three-year-old son of the Zhang family, to hide in Tibet and avoid the soldiers.

The war dragged on for three years, and finally returned to Qinghe after the war was over. Zhang Dahu's grave is arched with grass, and even the bones can be drummed. The courtyard is in disarray, the walls are crumbling, and there are no tiles.

Yan Yi's father slept all night, worked hard and re-established a solid family business for the little son Zhang Rui on a ruin. The original slave households returned to their hometowns and also supported them.

After the war, all industries withered, and the county town was desolate. Yan Yiyu worked hard to build a small grocery store, in addition to daily use and business capital, all the meager profits were transferred back to Qinghe and used on the Zhang family.

Zhang Rui grew up slowly, and at first he also regarded Yan Yi as his brother and Yan Yi's father as his father, and his neighbors praised him.

If the story ends here, it will be a human legend with love and righteousness.

But things in the world are often unpredictable.

Just like a copper kettle holds fine wine, the year is more mellow.

But after too many years, it can't help but give birth to a peculiar smell.

In case copper seeps into the wine, it accumulates too much and becomes poison.

Yan Yi's father died three years ago, and Zhang Rui lost his control. hooked up with some idlers, spent all day drinking, haunted the Qinglou gambling hall, and lost thousands of Guan family fortunes in less than two years, leaving only an old house in the township. He has no livelihood at home, and relies on the identity of the former master to blackmail the township.

Zhang Dahu's Fuyin incense was defeated by Zhang Rui, and the township was full of complaints, and it was disturbing, and gradually began to be unwelcome. He couldn't help it, because the former slaves had long since been freed. If you run out of money, you will reach out and ask Yan Yi for it.

Yan Yi is honest, afraid of him, and cares about the past, as long as he can give it, nothing is allowed. At home, they tightened their belts and lived their lives tightly.

But I didn't expect that after noon today, Niu Ding led four white servants to break into the Yanji South Store, saying that it was a witness, but in fact it was suppressing and intimidating.

Zhang Rui took out a piece of paper and said that he had found Yan Yi's father's family son slave deed. Since Yan Yi's father is a slave, of course Yan Yi and his daughter are also slaves. Yan Yi disrespects his master and deserves to be punished.

Immediately, he couldn't help but say, and instructed the two splashers to carry the valuable things in the shop into the carriage, and said that they would take over the shop and resell it to Niu Ding in two days.

The neighbors all knew about his relationship with Zhang Rui, and they were all angry. But when he saw Niu Ding and all the white servants supporting Zhang Rui, he didn't dare to approach.

Poor Yan Yi worked hard for twenty years to support a ferocious white-eyed wolf. Once destitute, even his identity has changed back into a slave, and his life is someone else's.

And that's not all......

Yan Yi has an only daughter, Yan Wan'er, who has just turned seventeen years old this year, and she is extremely smart.

It is not uncommon for girls to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Yan Wan'er is charming, but she is the daughter of a humble small businessman. Yan Yi didn't want her to marry the likes of leading cars and selling pulp and slaughtering dogs, so she dragged on until she was seventeen years old to find a silk shop in-law.

Although Yan Wan'er's future husband Jun Thirty Lang has been several times, his legs and feet are a little lame, but he can run in a hurry. The silk shop is more solid than the south store, and the two are barely a good match. The eight characters of the birthday have been surveyed, and the other party has also sent a dowry gift, so they will marry at the end of the year.

Zhang Rui has coveted Yan Wan'er's beauty for a long time, and has never been able to do it. This time, he found the reason, so he simply blocked her mouth, tied her up and stuffed her into the carriage and took her away.

Yan Yi wanted to fight hard, but was stopped by Niu Ding.

Next, there is the scene that Chu Fan saw.

......

The remnant sun is like blood.

Dead leaves and dead grass on both sides of the road.

The three of them rode slowly behind a heavily loaded cart, and there was a faint whining sound from the car.

Zhang Rui shook his head, very proud.

Fang was in a hurry in the city, afraid that after the matter was big, Yan Yi went crazy and led people to chase after him. Now that there is no movement when I go out of the city, I must have been suppressed by Niu Ding, and I can't provoke anything. After a few days, it is not a loss to sell the shop to Niu Ding cheaply. Without his support, today's affairs would not have gone so smoothly, and it would be a mess to go to the government to fight a lawsuit.

The two playmakers he invited were funny, and one said:

"Zhang Gongzi, I have gained a lot from this trip. The goods in the car were worth at least forty or fifty taels of silver, and if the shop was sold another day, it would cost another seventy or eighty taels of silver. Tsk, good luck ......"

Zhang Ruidao:

"What do you know? The shop promised Niu Ding to sell him thirty taels. ”

The other party smiled:

"With the help of Brother Niu, you can walk sideways in Yangwu County, and we can't get acquainted if we want to. On another day, Zhang Gongzi will set up wine, will he also introduce it to us?"

"That's nature. ”

"In addition to the goods in the same shop, Zhang Gongzi also picked up a treasure, a fairy-like little beauty, how to deal with it?"

"Hahaha...... Haven't figured it out yet. ”

"Don't blame me for saying a lot, but the son has to think about it. If a young child like this is sold to Yihong Courtyard, it will cost at least fifty taels of silver. If it is opened, it is worthless. ”

"This ......"

Another playful joke:

"You know a fart, Zhang Dagongzi will be short of that little money? If Gongzi eats the fresh soup all over the place, let me also try the taste, from now on I am willing to lose money." ”

"Hahaha...... Zhang Rui laughed wildly and said, "Well, it's not impossible." ”

The carriage and horses were bumpy, the struggle in the carriage intensified, and the bang sounded.

Zhang Rui hurriedly called the handlebar to stop, dismounted with the two splashers, and came to the rear of the car with a horsewhip to open the curtain, and saw Yan Wan'er banging the wooden plank with her head. But she was trapped like a dumpling and couldn't exert her strength, her sideburns were crooked and her head was sweating, but there was no damage.

Zhang Rui whipped her body trembling, pulled the two splashes to the side, and said in a low voice:

"This girl listened to what I was waiting for, and thought she was going to die. She was tied up like this, and she had a towel in her mouth, and she couldn't die. But if you knock your face down, it's not beautiful. What's your idea?"

The two splashes thought for a while, and one said:

"You have to wrap her head tightly ......"

The other hurriedly said:

"No, people will suffocate...... Once this person has the heart to seek death, if he doesn't pay attention to it, even if he is tied to a pillar, he can still hit the back of his head. The carriage was bumpy, and it was full of stuff, and we couldn't get into it. In my opinion, I simply knocked out. The two of us didn't take it seriously, so it was better for the son to do it himself. ”

Zhang Rui was not stupid, and said hurriedly:

"Not good, not good. In case the bamboo basket is killed, the water is empty, and if you are injured, you will have to pay for the soup and medicine, so you have to change the method. ”

The three of them were sneaking around on the road, only to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the county seat, looking at each other and standing stiffly.

After a dozen breaths, a gray colt galloped in. When he came near, he was struck by the reins, and the man stood up.

Immediately, the people were dressed in white like snow, holding an iron ruler high, and shouted loudly:

"White servant Chu Fan, arrest thieves and chase the murderer. Everyone is waiting to squat down with their heads in their hands, dare not listen, and there will be no mercy!"
