This young man's name is Du Zhiqiang, and he is Du Zhizhong's youngest brother. They have little presence in their home, never speak or socialize with other people in their family.

He has lived in the same village for more than ten years, and when the clansmen talk about him, they only know his name, but they don't know his personality and temper.

The day after Du Zhizhong calculated to give Du Ruoli sweat medicine, this girl with no sense of existence deliberately found Du Ruoli and told her: "My third brother Du Zhizhong said a half-night dream last night, and a few of them are about Sister Li's sister. said that he was forced to do so, and that the reader could not be so spoiled, he could only come up with such a strategy, so that you don't blame him.

I guess he's done something unconscionable to you. It's the same for me, I don't have the surname Du, my surname is Xia, and my single name is a Jun character. Because of the Xia family's troubles, he followed the nurse, that is, his aunt, back to Dujia Village, and pretended to be his younger brother who died young.

When I arrived at his house, when I was only seven or eight years old, he forced the nurse to death and took all my money from me on the pretext that he wanted to denounce me. I didn't have the opportunity to read and write, I didn't have the opportunity to find my relatives, and I even had to go into exile with me. ”

In order to show that what he said was true, Du Zhiqiang took out a silver lock plate, and the lock plate was engraved with his birthday: "Sister Pear, please see, this is a silver lock plate that only the children of the Xia family have." The Xia character on the lock piece is the handwriting of the ancestor Xia family, and outsiders can't imitate it. Du Zhizhong was also worried about being exposed, so he left me such a thought. ”

The silver cleat pattern is complicated, the workmanship is exquisite, it can be seen that there are some ages, but it is well preserved, and it should be the result of wiping it every day if it is not carefully looked at as new.

Du Ruoli took it, carefully searched through the memory of the original body, and remembered that Du Zhizhong did have an aunt who was a nurse in Fucheng. Later, for some reason, she left her husband's house and the lord's house and returned to her mother's house to live. After living in his mother's house for two years, he fell ill and died.

As soon as my aunt came back, my youngest brother fell ill and took medicine all day long, and he raised it at home for two or three years before going out. Many people behind the scenes say that when a girl who marries returns home, it will bring bad luck to her mother's family, and won't their family come true?

Based on this information, she can basically be sure that Du Zhiqiang, no, what Xia Jun said is true.

In addition, people at this time have a strong clan concept and will not casually betray their ancestors and recognize their ancestors indiscriminately, so there is no doubt about this.

Du Ruoli was puzzled: "How much did Du Zhizhong take away the money from you?" ”

Every year, he took nearly ten taels of silver from the clan and looted all the money in the clan, could it be that the silver brought by the down-and-out son was not enough to spend?

Xia Jun sneered: "Seventy-seven-eighty-eight add up, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver." He has been spending all day and money outside since he was a student. After lifting people in the exam, I made all kinds of dots to win a fat difference, so that I had the opportunity to be greedy for ink.

Hehe, don't look at him every time he comes back, he looks poor and sour, the eldest is not married, in fact, he is for the patriarch and the clansmen. The world is wide, and there are a few outer rooms, and there is also a play. ”

Du Ruoli also sneered: "It turned out that it was born bad, not learned." ”

The poor people are still waiting for him to get ahead and enjoy the blessings. Who would have thought that people would only think about sucking their blood from beginning to end, giving back or something, and it doesn't exist.

Xia Jun said: "I don't share the sky with Du Zhizhong, presumably Sister Pear is too, why don't we form an alliance, the strength of two people is always greater than the strength of one person." ”

Du Ruoli stared at Xia Jun and asked, "Why did you form an alliance with me?" You have been in the Du family for more than ten years, and you have not been able to stand him, why should I look for you? ”

Xia Jun didn't dodge or dodge: "With my understanding of him enough, with my lack of threat in his eyes, with my willingness to dirty these hands and not let you get involved in cause and effect; My requirements are very low, I just need you to help me ask someone to write a letter to my family and send it out. ”

Du Ruoli was a little tempted: "Talk about his weaknesses." ”

"Greedy, greedy!" Xia Jun said: "When I see everything, I want to take it into my pocket." It's never enough to take advantage, and he never gives benefits to others, including his own father and mother who take him as the root of his life. ”

"Is that greedy?"

"Naturally! But if there is something delicious, they will want to kill themselves. When I'm in a bad mood, I eat non-stop, from morning to night. ”

Du Ruoli said: "Cheng, let's form an alliance!" You don't have to do anything else, just encourage Du Zhizhong to eat, and the more you eat, the better. For the greedy, death is the best destination for him. ”

Xia Jun asked uncertainly: "What if you can't hold on...... die?"

Seeing Du Ruoli's smiling expression, she suddenly reacted: "Oh, it's just not enough to hold up." I see, goodbye! ”

After saying this, Xia Jun left, and he didn't meet her until today, six days later.

Du Ruoli said: "I heard that you also ate too much and vomited, are you okay?" ”

Xia Jun shook his head: "Someone rushing to eat will stimulate the maximum energy of the greedy." I have to be this food grabber, but I have a number in my heart, and I don't swallow it all, and I will be fine if I spit it out! ”

Du Ruoli nodded: "It's okay to have nothing to do!" Now it's time for me to make good on my promises, say it! ”

Xia Jun said: "Write an 11-word letter, please bring it to the Wenjia at the entrance of Lychee Lane in Lingnan Mansion from the Qingyuan Dart Bureau, these 11 words are: Jun was exiled to the frontier with the Du family, please rescue." ”

Du Ruoli repeated: "Write it down, don't worry!" Go back and continue to cry the third brother, don't let others be suspicious, there will be twists and turns when the time comes. ”

Xia Jun glanced at Du Ruoli deeply and trotted back to the cave. turned over a clean and decent coat in the baggage of the cave, ran back to the cemetery again, covered Du Zhizhong, who had already held his breath, and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

A large family, except for the second brother, who also had unbearable abdominal pain but had been rescued, all knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Du Changgui took office as a new official, and before he had time to celebrate, he heard that Du Zhizhong had died. I had to resist the urge to scold him, and rushed over with a few older people, and before he was completely cold and hardened, dressed him neatly, put him on the ground, and covered him with a quilt from head to toe.

When Du Ruoli came over, the crowd was surrounded by three layers and three layers outside. Du Ruozhen beckoned to her from a big tree with the best view: "Here!" Over here! ”

With Du Ruozhen's help, Du Ruoli also climbed to the tree, sat side by side with her on the branch, shook her feet, and watched the movement below with relish.

Well, the old father and the eldest brother are really crying, crying so much that their hearts and intestines are broken; Sisters-in-law and nephews are of all shapes and sizes, and there are sorrows, but not much; Xia Jun knelt the farthest and kept silently wiping his tears, but he didn't know whether the back of his hand was coated with garlic water or pepper water, which could make the tears continue to flow.
