Chapter 41: The Past Is Particularly Pitiful (Part II)

(Thank you for the monthly tickets of the bookworm and moshaocong, and ask the official to collect it.) )

In August of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the autumn township test came again, and the unwilling Xu Xiucai packed his bags again to go to Datong Mansion to take the exam, as the previous times, there was no such person on the red list, Xu Xiucai did not feel calm because he had experienced many times off the list, but this time it made him more painful, because he wanted to be able to raise people in high school before marrying a wife, and avoid the fate of being talked about.

After falling off the list, Xu Xiucai was reluctant to leave Datong Mansion for a long time, and bought drunk in the restaurant in Datong Mansion every day.

Normal people understand Xu Xiucai's painful feelings, and there are many crazy words after the people in the world fall off the list, many times, the government laughs at it and doesn't take it seriously at all, but a small flag official in the Baihu Office of Datong South Street takes it seriously, because this person is digging out his heart to make meritorious contributions and seek a way to promotion, this person is Liu Wufu.

Liu Wufu collected the poems inscribed by Xu Xiucai as evidence, and forced the owner of the restaurant to be a witness, and took Xu Xiucai into Jinyiwei; In Jinyiwei, Xu Xiucai confessed to the crimes of slandering the imperial court, conducting scientific examinations, and publicly demagoguery.

Xu Xiucai is a hard bone, no matter how he fights, he doesn't want to admit his guilt and confess, he was tortured half to death, the news reached Pinglu County, the two elders of the Xu family are already old, Ye Chengzong, the future father-in-law, can only come forward to rescue, spend money to open up the joints everywhere and want to fish Xu Xiucai out, but the money is spent a lot, but Liu Wufu will not let go, because Liu Wufu has already been on the bar with Xu Xiucai, and Xu Xiucai is sour and hard-mouthed, and he confesses who vows to torture.

Ye Chengzong had no choice but to go to Datong to intercede with Liu Wufu in person, the two of them had a stiff speech under a few words, Ye Chengzong was angry, and he drank a little wine that day and couldn't hold back his temperament, and accidentally injured Liu Wufu for a while.

The father and future husband were all arrested, and the Ye family was suddenly in chaos, Mrs. Ye was loyal and did not know how to operate at all, and the seventeen-year-old Ye Fanggu had to come forward to rescue her father and brother; After half a year, the family property was sold, and only then did he find an upright official in Datong Mansion, and under the mediation of this person, Liu Wufu released the two sons-in-law.

For half a year, they were tortured and tortured almost every day, Ye Chengzong and Xu Xiucai had been tortured into an inhuman shape, and when they were released from prison, they were described as withered, their clothes were tattered, and they couldn't move their steps at all.

Ye Fanggu sought medical advice everywhere, looking for Langzhong to treat the injuries of the two, but unfortunately all the efforts were in vain, and a month after being released from prison, Xu Xiucai was ashamed of having no face in the world, and died in his own dilapidated house after hunger strike; Soon after, Ye Chengzong was seriously injured and his lower limbs ulcerated, and his life was whimpered, and the Ye family collapsed in an instant, and the family was ruined.

Mrs. Ye couldn't stand this blow, her husband died in front of the grave on the first seven days, poor Ye Fanggu and Lu Qingli, who grew up under the doting protection of their parents since they were children, suddenly everything was shattered and ashes, and the two little girls who were alone became orphans, this blow was so huge, just like living in a high house and a big universe, and suddenly they were in the wilderness where no one was around, surrounded by wild beasts, that feeling, how can a panic be described.

Speaking of this, Lu Qingli's face turned blue, her eyes were red, her breathing was short, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't; Song Nan sighed in his heart, reached out and touched Lu Qingli's shoulder and comforted: "Qingli, don't be sad, it's all over, aren't you good now?" What happened? Is the Liu Wufu you are talking about Liu Wufu from the Ulzhou Jinyi Wei Hundred Households? ”

Qingli leaned closer to Song Nan, and her body could feel Song Nan's warmth, so she felt a little more at ease, and said hatefully: "Of course it's that dog thief, after my uncle and aunt died, I didn't understand anything because I was still young, so I would only pull the corner of my cousin's clothes and cry every day; We stayed at home for more than a month and didn't go out, and then one day, my cousin told me: Qingli, we want to avenge our father's mother, all of this is caused by Liu Wufu's dog thief, we are afraid that we can't help him, it is better for us to slaughter the dog thief and avenge my father's mother! ”

Song Nan said: "So you came to Ulzhou to kill Liu Wufu?" ”

Lu Qingli said: "We first went to Datong Mansion to find an opportunity to kill the dog thief, but unexpectedly the dog thief has been transferred elsewhere, and the two of us can't find out the news, so it took two years to look for his traces in the states and counties of Datong Mansion, in October of the previous year, his traces were found in Ulzhou, it turned out that the dog thief was promoted and came to Ulzhou as the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei. ”

Song Nan said: "You have been looking everywhere for the past two years? How do you live? ”

Lu Qingli said: "The pair of earrings that my aunt left for my cousin was taken by my cousin, and the two of us lived in the cheapest inn and ate the cheapest meals, all for the purpose of finding the dog thief to take revenge on him, and this bitterness is nothing." ”

Song Nan sighed, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Lu Qingli.

"After coming to Ulzhou, things didn't go as smoothly as we thought, the dog thief lived in the Jinyi Guard Yamen, where there were so many people, we couldn't do it at all; My martial arts are very ordinary, and my cousin alone can't defeat those brocade guards; My cousin said that we wanted to think about it in the long run, so we put the remaining hundred or so taels of silver down the small courtyard, opened the door to do business to hide our identity, and at the same time secretly probed the whereabouts of the dog thief. ”

Song Nan said: "This matter is so risky, you have to find an opportunity to start, and you have to escape safely after you start, the other party is Jinyiwei, you two sisters really did it, it's incredible." ”

Lu Qingli glanced at Song Nan gratefully and said, "Brother Song, if you hadn't helped, I'm afraid we would have been arrested a long time ago, and my cousin's life would probably be lost." ”

Song Nan said: "How did you get into the brothel?" ”

Lu Qingli said: "We gradually found out the activity pattern of the dog thief, this dog thief is very shameless, and he goes to Yihongfang every few days...... That...... The place where the obscene and the cheap are looking for fun, they are all going out in groups of three or five on weekdays, that is, they are often single when they are looking for fun; My cousin said that I could only do it in a brothel, but there were many people outside and it was difficult to do it, so my cousin came up with an idea, and she and I pretended to be ...... Yes...... Those people, when the dog thief comes to the door, we will lure him into the room, and then kill him while he is unprepared. ”

Song Nan said: "It's a shame that she can think of it, but this is a good plan, the family feud is not shared, if the place is changed, I will also put down everything to kill the enemy." ”

Lu Qingli said: "Yes, the dog thief also brought a subordinate to come that day, my cousin had to do it anyway, otherwise his identity in the brothel would be exposed, and there would be no more chance, so the two of us took the initiative to ask to serve the dog thief and his men, and the dog thief really saw our sister's lust, in the room, the dog thief and his men stripped to do a shameless act, and my cousin and I took out a short knife and started it; The dog thief reacted quickly, and blamed me for not being good at learning, and I was slower to shoot, and the dog thief drew a knife and swung away my short knife, and my cousin was stabbed by him in order to save me, but in the end we still killed them, and then I helped my cousin to jump up from the back window and escape from there. ”

Lu Qingli said it lightly, Song Nan was shocked when he heard it, how fierce the battle of life and death in the brothel room was last night, and there was a fatal disaster between the lightning and flint, and in the end, the two of them were able to escape from the tiger's mouth, which has to be said to be a great luck; There is no need to ask, Song Nan also understands that the room where the murder occurred must have been carefully selected by Ye Fanggu, because only that room can borrow a branch from the back window to escape safely, but the plan is not as good as changing, she didn't expect Liu Wufu to take one to the brothel, and she didn't expect Liu Wufu to react so quickly that he almost lost his life.

Song Nan took a breath and said softly: "Congratulations to your sisters for their great revenge, it turns out that you killed people for revenge, and I have done a good thing to save you." ”

Lu Qingli said: "Brother Song now knows why my cousin will be cold to you; Since the accident at home, my cousin doesn't like anyone in the official mansion, especially Jin Yiwei, when you first came to my small shop to drink, my cousin privately said that Brother Song, you have the spirit of a chivalrous person, and your bones are very hard; also said that you are brave and strategic, and you dare to argue with the Song Mansion alone. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Am I so powerful?" ”

Lu Qingli said: "I think so, cousin doesn't praise people indiscriminately, besides, you look a little similar to your previous future cousin-in-law, especially your eyebrows, your cousin had a good impression of you at the beginning, I'm afraid there is also this reason." ”

Song Nan touched his nose and said, "This is really strange." ”

Lu Qingli said: "Later, you had a hot fight with Jiang Qianhu and the head of the brocade guard, and your cousin said that she saw the wrong person, you and they were all the way, and since then your cousin has been cold to you, think about it." ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said, "It seems that this is really the case, then your cousin hates Jinyiwei and all the people who befriend them, isn't this a rod that overturns a boatload of people." ”

Lu Qingli said faintly: "Brother Song, don't blame your cousin, if you suffer from our changes, you will inevitably have this thought, Qingli is here to make amends for my cousin to Brother Song, Brother Song is definitely not that kind of person, I firmly believe it." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "I'm not so careful, Xie Lu thank you for being willing to tell me the truth, so that I have done a good thing to save people this time; I want to explain this matter to your cousin clearly, so that she will not misunderstand me, I don't want your cousin to regard me as a traitor, in case your sister initiates a cruel knife to one person, my little life will be over. ”

Lu Qingli blushed and said, "How could I?" …… Brother Song is a good person, Qingli will never be unfavorable to Brother Song, absolutely not. ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Silly girl, lie to you." ”
