Zhang Xiongtian has been in a bad mood lately.

Although they still live with their brothers, they go out early and return late, have work to do, and eat and drink well.

And because he offended Xi Dazhuang, he was beaten again, and lay in bed for several days, relying on the remaining rations of his brothers to feed his stomach.

People's hearts change.

The brothers who used to follow him now began to look down on him, and some even pretended not to hear what he said, sneering at him.

And Chi Taoer always refused to see him on the grounds that he was not married and should not see him more.

He is not a fool, and he clearly feels Chi Tao'er's dissatisfaction and evasion of him.

But last night, Chi Tao'er bought two jars of wine and came to him, saying that she wanted to invite him to have a drink with his brothers, and that she would leave this ghost place with him when she got married in a few days, and that she wanted to go to see what the tile kiln was like, and her father wanted to join his brothers to work together.

He was thrilled.

Immediately took Chi Tao'er and walked up the mountain.

Fortunately, the brothers who kept vigil last night have a good relationship with him so far, so they drank with him very face-saving.

But he didn't drink well, he got drunk after just two bowls, and he couldn't remember how he came back.

Zhang Xiongtian was shaken awake, and he met Wang Dahu's tangled and complicated expression, and waved his hand impatiently: "What are you doing?" Why don't you go to work when it's dawn? Don't bother me, get out of the way. ”

"Are you still sleeping? You're in trouble! Big brother is waiting for you on the mountain! ”

Wang Dahu quickly told Zhang Xiongtian about the situation in front of him, wrinkled his brows and said: "Don't blame my brother for talking too much, that Chi Tao'er's family is really not a good person, she had to pull you up the mountain to drink last night, and something happened." ”

Zhang Xiongtian sighed in his heart, hurriedly got up and put on his shoes, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, Tao'er won't lie to me, there must be something else hidden." ”

"The facts are right in front of you, and you're still obsessed! You better think about what you say in front of the eldest brother for a while! ”

Wang Dahu said worriedly: "You know the character of the eldest brother, if what happened last night is really related to you, he will not let you go." ”

Zhang Xiongtian clenched his teeth, dragged Wang Dahu and ran up the mountain.

Xi Dazhuang and Chixi didn't have to wait long, Wang Dahu and Zhang Xiongtian arrived.

As soon as Zhang Xiongtian arrived, he hurriedly spoke: "Big brother, I didn't do what happened last night. This matter has nothing to do with Peach, and I ask my eldest brother to investigate. ”

Chi Xi was speechless.

Xi Dazhuang asked coldly: "Last night, you brought wine to the four of them to drink?" ”

Zhang Xiongtian nodded: "Yes." ”

"Where's the jar?"

Xi Dazhuang squinted and looked at Zhang Xiongtian, Zhang Xiongtian hurriedly handed the wine jar that he twisted over to Xi Dazhuang, Xi Dazhuang and Chixi were close, Xiao Ling said as soon as he saw the wine jar: "What a heavy smell of medicine!" Can't they drink it? ”

"Let's go to Shi Langzhong first to see if there is anything wrong with this wine, and then let's talk about whether the two of you have anything to do with last night's incident!"

Chi Xi immediately decided: "While it's still early, let's hurry up." ”

Shi Langzhong often goes up the mountain to collect medicine, and if he goes late, he may not be at home.

Zhang Xiongtian immediately became anxious, wrinkled his brows and said unconvinced: "Sister-in-law, do you suspect me of drugging my brothers?" ”

Chi Xi looked at him coldly: "If you are really innocent, if this wine is okay, you can clear half of the suspicion." ”

"Why do you talk so much nonsense to him? Let's go find Shi Langzhong first. ”

Xi Dazhuang has been in the border for many years, and he has also been in Kyoto City for more than ten years, and he smelled an unusual smell as soon as this wine jar arrived in front of him.

But he pays attention to evidence, and in front of everyone, he doesn't mind running this more trip.

A large group of brothers who built the tile kiln also followed down the mountain, and Shi Langzhong was about to go out with a basket on his back, but he was blocked at the door of the house by a group of people who were pressed by the black, and he was so frightened that he said angrily: "You don't do anything early in the morning, what are you doing here?" Still blocking at my gate, obscure? ”

Chi Xi has known Shi Langzhong since he was a child, and he knows his temper best, so he immediately lifted the wine jar from Xi Dazhuang's hand and threw it to him, raised his chin and said, "Can you help us see what is wrong with this wine jar?" ”

"What's the problem?"

Shi Langzhong was speechless: "The taste of this drug is so smoky, isn't this wine bitter to drink?" ”

"What? Drugged! No way! ”

Zhang Xiongtian said in disbelief: "If you take a good look, how can there be drugs in this wine?" ”

"How could it not, you're questioning me?" Shi Langzhong snorted unhappily: "This inferior drug tastes the worst!" It's just choking, you can't smell it yourself, can't you still drink it? ”

Zhang Xiongtian did drink bitterness last night, but this is a spirit, and it is normal to have a little bitterness!

The four people who drank with Zhang Xiongtian last night looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

"You...... If you look closely, there can't be any drug in this wine...... When pigs fly! ”

Zhang Xiongtian was anxious.

stepped forward to pull Shi Langzhong, Shi Langzhong took a step back unhappily, and Xi Dazhuang grabbed Zhang Xiongtian's collar from behind.

Shi Langzhong glared at the emotional Zhang Xiongtian angrily and said, "If you don't believe it, it's the same if you go to the town and go to the county seat to find other Langzhong." Don't bother me here, do what you have to do. ”

Zhang Xiongtian still couldn't believe that he was calculated by Chi Tao'er, but Shi Langzhong didn't need to lie to him, he couldn't accept it for a while.

Xi Dazhuang pushed him aside, squinted at him, and sneered: "I don't care what you did yesterday, but because the tile kiln that your brothers worked so hard to build was dug down!" The others that did not fall were more or less damaged, and there was no way to use them, so they had to be torn down and rebuilt, and the hard work of so many people for so many days was all wasted, and the silver taels spent were not eight hundred taels but also five hundred taels. You have caused me damage, and you must compensate for it. ”

When Zhang Xiongtian heard the five hundred taels of silver, his legs were weak, and even if he didn't eat or drink and worked hard, he might not be able to earn five hundred taels of silver in his life.

Everyone gasped when they heard this, especially the four people who kept vigil last night.

However, Xi Dazhuang did not let them go, his cold eyes slowly turned to them, and said in a cold voice: "You not only neglected your duties last night's vigil, but you were also drunk, giving people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of. The loss of five hundred taels of silver is to be borne by the five of you, one hundred taels per person! ”

"This ...... Big brother, we drank some wine, but we didn't know that there was a drug in that wine! ”

Zhang Laodong said with a bitter face: "What's more, even if the brothers save some silver during this time, one person will only be two or three taels at most, won't this hundred taels cost the brothers their lives?" ”

"If you can't pay back the money, then cut off an arm!" Xi Dazhuang sneered and said, "I don't care if you have any money, but if you cause my losses, you have to compensate." If you can't pay for it, you have to pay the price. ”

Xi Dazhuang's indifferent voice shocked everyone, Wang Dahu opened his mouth to intercede, Xi Dazhuang's indifferent voice sounded again: "If someone wants to intercede for them, then take responsibility with them." Today, except for the five of them, everyone else will rebuild the tile kiln with me, and the five of you will give me a satisfactory answer today. Don't try to escape, if you are caught by me, it will not be as simple as cutting off an arm. ”

Zhang Xiongtian and the other five all gasped.
