Li Shanren was forty years old, suffering from having no children under his knees, and his wife was very sad about this, so he believed the slander of the matchmaker and the housekeeper, and met the Zhang woman in private, and saw that the Zhang girl was beautiful, well-behaved, and quite likable.

Immediately persuaded him with kind words in front of Li Shanren, asking him to take another concubine, and blindly praised the virtuous and humble daughter of the Zhang family, and led the daughter of the Zhang family into the Li family compound to meet Li Shanren.

When Li Shanren first saw the delicate and lovely daughter of the Zhang family, he was first moved, after all, unfilial piety is the greatest, and his wife repeatedly instigated him, so he accepted the Zhang daughter as a concubine.

The Li family compound was originally the legacy of the former Chaokang Party, although the façade is not wide, but there are three into four courtyards, dozens of zhang deep, hundreds of houses.

At the end of the backyard, there are several connected houses, which are the ancestral halls where the ancestral tablets are placed, which are not accessible on weekdays, and the windows are high, and occasionally passing by, and only the black ceiling can be seen from the outside to the inside.

After the Zhang woman married into the Li family compound, she didn't worry about the big and small things in the family, and her heart was on Jin Xiangyu.

And Jin Xiangyu, who has won the trust of the master, has long forgotten the word loyalty, and is so bold that he shamelessly fornicates with Li Xiaoniang in the ancestral hall of the master's family every day.

Li Xiaoniang is less with Li Shanren, more with Jin Xiangyu, only perfunctory with Li Shanren, and lingering with Jin Xiangyu.

Li Xiaoniang had already given birth to Xia Xiangxi, thinking that the child was not Li Shanren's, but Jin Xiangyu's, so she was unwilling to be a concubine and would marry Jin Xiangyu to be a lady.

Jin Xiangyu was happy at first to be able to stay with Li Xiaoniang every day, but later he was frightened, worried that once the adultery was revealed, his reputation would be ruined, and the matter of imprisonment and lawsuits would be big.

As soon as the so-called evil thoughts were born, the devil in hell was already beckoning, Jin Xiangyu and Li Xiaoniang made a plan to take away the gold and silver treasures of the Li family, and set fire to the Li family's compound and flew away.

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good time to do it. At this moment, Li Xiaoniang pretended to walk towards the back room, and after walking a few steps, she stepped in the backyard and came to the ancestral hall, and just sat down on the futon, the door of the house

"Squeak" sounded, a black shadow flashed outside the house, a cold gust of wind blew into the house, and Jin Xiangyu tiptoed in.

The two didn't care about the cold, so they untied their clothes on the futon, and hugged each other in the black light. Mrs. Li asked, "Can you act tonight?" Jin Xiangyu replied: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." The silver has been loaded, look at the moon, there will be fog in the sky, it is really a once-in-a-lifetime good time, at this time do not do more when? Little Lady Li said: "God has mercy on me, I have also made preparations, I don't dare to take off my clothes when I sleep, but now I take off my clothes, just to be happy with you." Jin Xiangyu hugged Li Xiaoniang on her body and said: "The lady will take on some responsibilities now, and she will never let the lady suffer a little from now on." Then the two of them crossed hands and walked on the futon.

After a pause, Little Lady Li asked, "I don't know how my husband arranges it?" Jin Xiangyu said: "The plan is thorough, with the fire as the number, the lady will go to the backyard and wait for me in the forest, and then you can fly away with the lady." After hearing this, Li Xiaoniang thought that the happy life of Biyi Shuangfei was in front of her, and she was immediately full of longing, and murmured: "This matter is done, and we can enjoy endless glory and wealth." "Unconsciously, euphoria is like drinking sweet food.

Jin Xiangyu was overjoyed, and then went to Yunyu, after a while, Li Xiaoniang panted and pushed Jin Xiangyu and said: "Let's be aggrieved for the time being, get up as soon as possible and do it early!" Jin Xiangyu hurriedly finished his work, got up and dressed, and Li Xiaoniang did not forget to tell him: "Everything should be done according to the plan, and you must not make extraneous branches, let alone hurt people's lives, if you hurt people's lives, something big will happen." Jin Xiangyu heard this and said

"Don't bother with the lady" and hurriedly left the ancestral hall. Outside, the wind was fierce, and a wild dog suddenly jumped past his feet, startling him, and he quickly tightened his neck, folded his sleeves, and tiptoed to the stables.

Mrs. Li dressed up and returned to her room, rewrapped the child, and fed the child enough milk to prevent crying at the critical moment.

Then he packed up his underwear and sat in the bed tent and waited for the fire to break out in the courtyard. Jin Xiangyu came to the stable, untied the reins, put a mask on the horse's mouth, put a foot cover on the horse's hooves, wrapped the reins around his hand a few times, led the horse, and walked to the backyard.

When I saw the door of the backyard open, I was startled at first, and when I walked out, I saw a dark figure squatting outside the courtyard gate, and I was suddenly startled again.

Jin Xiangyu hurriedly pulled the reins, and when he opened his eyes in the dark, it turned out to be Lao Lu, who was carrying a lamp to clean the venue by the river, and gathered the ashes of the bamboo sedan chair and paper horse that worshiped the gods in one place, and sat on the stone steps to smoke dry smoke.

At this time, Lao Lu heard movement behind him, turned around, and saw Butler Jin driving a horse-drawn carriage out of the backyard.

Horses have never been in or out of this backyard, and the time has just come after midnight, and the housekeeper is about to go out? Lao Lu was puzzled, and came to Jin Xiangyu with a lantern, and under the lamp, he saw three tall horses with a chariot, a red-maned horse, two yellow chestnut horses, and the horse's mouth and hooves were all wearing covers, and immediately stopped and asked Jin Xiangyu: "Lord Butler, I don't sleep in the middle of the night, where are you going?" Jin Xiangyu was already surprised when he saw someone outside the door, and when he heard Lao Lu ask him, he said nonsense in a panic: "Go out and ask for an account." Lao Lu took it seriously, and asked: "It's so dark that you can't see your five fingers, where can I ask for an account?" Jin Xiangyu patted the horse's neck and asked the horse to turn, and while thinking about how to get out, he replied absentmindedly: "The woods ahead." Seeing that he looked flustered and answered the question, Lao Lu followed, and at this time the carriage had been discharged from the hospital, turning a corner on the river embankment and walking along the river.

Lao Lu pulled the frame to the side, felt that the car was heavy, and felt different, so he took a step forward, dragged Jin Xiangyu's arm and said, "Since you go out to ask for accounts, why don't you go to the front yard gate, and take the trouble to detour to the backyard?" Jin Xiangyu saw that Lao Lu saw through the truth, and expected that he would not be able to get out for a while, so he suddenly became angry, and left Li Xiaoniang's instructions behind, and without saying a word, he took out a self-defense knife from his waist, and turned to Lao Lu is chest is knife.
