The people who really bought the green tiles were gone, and the people who deliberately found fault and caused trouble were all tied up by Wang Dahu and hung above the wolf pen.

The wild wolves bounced so hard that they were staring at them with green eyes, full of wildness and a thirst for food, which frightened them away.

Some wild wolves even jumped up to bite them, and they could only do their best to avoid the bite of the wild wolves.

The fear in the heart is at its peak.

They are all a group of ruffians and hooligans, and they were called by Master Jin to find fault and destroy the Xi family's business, and they were just a small fight, and they never thought that their lives would be hanging by a thread because of this.

"Grandma, let us go! We don't mean to find fault, we are forced to do it. ”

The person begging for mercy was called Ma Huai, he was jumped up and bitten by Hei Liang, he felt that a piece of flesh was torn off his leg, and he shouted in pain, and the whole person spasmed uncontrollably: "Help!" I don't want to be eaten by wild wolves, help! I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't be obsessed! I shouldn't have deliberately found fault, auntie, spare me! Ahhhh ”

Chi Xi looked at them coldly, and only after a while did he say coldly, "Who asked you to find fault?" ”

"Master Jin, it's Master Jin from Chase Town! His family is also in the green tile business, your current green tile business is so good, the price is cheap, many people are reluctant to go to his house to buy green tiles! That's why he asked us to find fault, we didn't mean to. Woo woo, let us go! ”

They were all frightened and cried heartbreakingly, Wang Dahu and the others turned their heads to look at Chixi with an indifferent expression, and couldn't help but shiver.

Even if you know that this is a gentle face, but in fact a ruthless lord, you can't help but feel a little chilled at this time.

"Wang Dahu, put down the one who cried the most!"

Chi Xi pointed to the person who was crying heartbreakingly after a large piece of flesh was bitten off his leg, and said in a faint voice, "I have something to ask him." ”

Wang Dahu put the person down with his hands and feet, the man knelt on the ground with weak legs, and he kowtowed to Chixi with tears in his eyes: "Grandma, you can ask whatever you want, I must explain honestly, please don't let the wolf eat me, please!" ”

Chi Xi looked at him crying and tearful, couldn't help frowning, and asked lightly: "What is the background of Master Jin who called you here, let you do those things, what are his plans in the future, you can tell me clearly." ”

The fear of death enveloped Ma Huai, he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and said while crying: "Master Jin is the richest outsider in our town, not only in the green tile business, but also in the rice and grain business, and the family also has a lot of land to rent to farmers to plant, anyway, he is very capable." He has a daughter who is still the favorite concubine of the county magistrate, and he gave birth to a big fat boy to the county magistrate the year before last. Master Jin relied on his relationship with the county master to dominate the family in Datong Town, and in the first two years, he treated us as human beings, but now he treats us as animals, either beating or scolding, and we dare not disobey Master Jin's orders. We are all forced to do so, and we ask Mrs. Xi to spare her life. ”

Hearing this, Chi Xi laughed coldly, and then said lightly: "Master Jin's daughter is the favorite concubine of the county lord, and she also gave birth to a son?" ”

"Yes, yes, what the villain said is true! Absolutely dare not deceive! Mr. Jin has become more and more rampant over the years, the green tiles are getting worse and worse, but the price is getting more and more expensive, and the farmers who originally rented the fields only used to give 30% of the grain every year have now risen to 40%. The farmers are miserable, but there is nothing they can do. ”

Ma Huai cried uncomfortably: "My whole family's net worth and life are pinched in the hands of Master Jin, and I have no choice but to obey his dispatch." Can you ......"

"What is he going to do, let's hear it."

Chi Xi swept his cold eyes and said lightly: "You take care of him left and right, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

As soon as Chi Xi's words fell, Hei Liang whined, Ma Huaicai's relaxed face instantly tensed, he no longer dared to hide anything, and cried and said, "Master Jin, let's explore the truth and determine how to occupy your family's property." Some time ago, Mao Er brought people to find fault, but he was nowhere to be found. Master Jin suspected that Mao Er and the others took the opportunity to escape, so he asked us to take a look at the details of your family, and then find a way to destroy your family's business. ”

Ma Huai's face turned blue with pain in pain, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It is not that there have been small traders who have grabbed business with Master Jin over the years, but all of them have been swallowed up by Master Jin by various means. The year before last, a mother and daughter sold tofu opposite the tofu workshop of Mr. Jin's house, and Mr. Jin occupied the daughter of that family, and her mother passed away not long after being too sad. ”

Ma Huaishang is a little clever, counting the bad things that Master Jin has done, and wants Chi Xi to hate Master Jin, so as to reflect their innocence and helplessness.

He had never been so close to death as this time, and he didn't even dare to look back, lest the wild wolf suddenly pounce on him and bite him to death.

After pondering for a while, Chi Xi turned his head and said to Wang Dahu: "Send him to Houshan and lock him up, and I will ask the others to find out the situation." ”

"Yes, sister-in-law."

Now Wang Dahu is convinced of Chixi, the horse is the first to look forward, and he is obedient.

Chi Xi gave an order, and he carried Ma Huai with tears in his eyes and went to the back mountain.

As for the others, Chi Xi asked them all and got the same answers.

Chixi didn't let them go, and Qi locked them up in the back mountain, and then asked Hei Liang to bring a few wolves over to guard the gate.

That night, Chixi had just finished bathing and was about to go to bed, when there was a knock on the door, and Tian Cuihe's gentle voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoxi, have you slept?" ”

Chi Xi was stunned for a moment, and while getting dressed, he raised his feet and walked to the door, and replied, "Mother, I haven't slept yet, you haven't slept so late, is there something wrong?" ”

Chi Xi opened the door, and saw Tian Cuihe standing at the door with a very bad face, the whole person was trembling, Chi Xi hurriedly pulled the person into the house and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”

Tian Cuihe shook his head, raised his eyes to look at Chixi, and choked up with a complicated and fragile look: "Xiaoxi, have you been uncomfortable these days?" ”

"Mother, are you uncomfortable? I'm going to call Shi Langzhong, you wait. ”

Chixi was about to go out as she spoke, Tian Cuihe hurriedly grabbed her wrist, shook her head with red eyes: "Xiaoxi, I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable, I just suddenly had a nightmare, I was a little scared, I don't need to call Shi Langzhong." ”

Chi Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Tian Cuihe, and comforted in a low voice: "Mother, too many things have happened during this time, which scares you." I didn't think the death of those people would scare you, but I took it for granted, don't be afraid, don't think too much, you can sleep with me tonight! You won't be scared when you're around someone. ”

Tian Cuihe pursed her lips with a complicated expression, and stopped talking.

If she was young, she would have been so scared that she couldn't sleep when she saw such a bloody scene, but she followed her husband to garrison the frontier for a few years a few years ago, and the frontier was not peaceful.

Where can you be afraid of such twenty or thirty dead people?

Chixi pulled Tian Cuihe to the bedside and whispered to her about some interesting things when Xi Dazhuang was there, until Tian Cuihe was no longer afraid, Chixi whispered: "Mother, it's late at night, let's sleep!" If you are afraid, you will sleep with me in the future, anyway, Brother Zhuang is not here, and I am quite lonely when I fall asleep alone. ”

Since she got married, Chi Xi has rarely slept alone, she has long been used to having someone around her, she has long been used to waking up in a hot embrace, and as soon as her husband leaves, she is a little unaccustomed.

Tian Cuihe nodded lightly and said softly: "You also hurry up and sleep, you are still pregnant with a child, you can't be sloppy." ”

"Okay."

Chi Xi was also a little sleepy, and after answering, she closed her eyes, and soon the sound of her long and even breathing reached Tian Cuihe's ears.

Tian Cuihe turned her head to look at Chixi, who was sleeping soundly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and her heart ached.

She was awakened from a nightmare.

In her dream, her only son was seriously injured and wanted to be arrested by the imperial court, and even had to be beheaded, no matter how she begged in the dream, the fierce face of the Queen Mother just disagreed, and even disemboweled her daughter-in-law, who was pregnant with Liujia, and took out a stillborn child.

When she was awakened, she was trembling, scared and sad, and after a long time she realized that she was dreaming, so she hurriedly got up to see if the pond was okay.

Xu is that kind of dream is too real and too clear, it makes her unable to let go, and her heart is about to burst.

The last time she had such a strong sense of foreboding was when her husband was falsely accused of treason.
