Chapter 21: Seeking Peace
Let's say that Liu Heng, the husband of the snake sister, is homesick and anxious to go back.
The snake girl comforted, "It's very simple. After 7749 days after my father's funeral, I could leave for home. ”
During the forty-nine days, Liu Heng showed an anxious look, and his days were like years. The snake sister comforted me again, don't worry, the time will pass quickly. Liu Heng smiled unnaturally.
I didn't realize that the time had come, and the snake girl said, "I see that you have already returned to your heart like an arrow." Now it's time to pack up and get ready to head home! ”
Liu Heng asked hesitantly, "Do you want to go back with me?" ”
The snake girl said, "Why do you ask that? Of course I do! Women, marry a dog with a chicken, follow a dog, I will follow wherever you go. In the past, my father was alive, and it was inconvenient to go back with you because I had to take care of him. Now that my father has passed away, there is no such problem. ”
Liu Heng hesitated, stopped talking, and said: "This ......" wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Snake Sister thought that Liu Heng was worried, and said, "Don't worry, if your ex-wife is still there, I should leave you; If she is not alive, I will accompany you to old age. ”
So, Liu Heng and Snake Sister set off together. Along the way, sail in the water and drive by land. Liu Heng was all taken care of by the snake sister's guards. A few months later, after many hardships, I came back.
Liu Heng's brother is Liu Pei, who was already the prefect of Tongzhou at this time. Liu Pei knew that his younger brother was doing business outside and had not been heard from for several years, but he was very happy to see him suddenly today.
Considering that his younger brother had no income and had a difficult life, he sought a position as a small official for Liu Heng in the yamen.
Liu Pei invited Liu Heng to his home for dinner, and asked with concern: "Why didn't I see you bring your family back?" ”
Liu Henggu said the past.
Liu Pei asked, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Where is your current wife, Yan Li, now? ”
Liu Heng replied: "Now she is still on the ship, and she doesn't dare to come to see her brother rashly, just waiting for her brother to summon her." ”
When Liu Pei heard this, he sighed and said reproachfully: "Brother, you and I are brothers, why are you so polite? Then he ordered his attendants to drive and fetch the snake girl from the boat.
After a while, the snake girl politely greeted Liu Pei. Liu Pei saw that the snake girl had beautiful eyebrows, clear words, politeness and courtesy, and even more respect.
Liu Pei built another house, gave it to Liu Heng's family, and gave four beautiful concubines to wait. Initially, Liu Heng was worried that Snake Sister would not be compatible with the four beautiful concubines, and he wanted to refuse.
When the snake girl heard the news, she stopped her and said, "You just accept it!" A concubine is exactly the one the family needs. If you can get it, it's not easy. I treat her like a daughter. ”
Liu Heng listened to it, and saw that the snake sister was reasonable, and he was very grateful.
However, Liu Heng has poor self-discipline and rarely has sex with the snake sister, and after getting a young and beautiful concubine, he gradually became estranged from the snake sister, and often showed a look of disgust and disgust.
One night, Snake Sister prepared a few appetizers at home and invited Liu Heng to drink.
The snake girl was originally very happy, but when she saw Liu Heng sullen, she was in a bad mood all of a sudden.
Liu Heng looked at the snake girl beside him, with a sad face, pointing fingers, chattering, chattering, and nagging, a nameless fire spontaneously arose from the side of the gall.
The snake girl also got angry and said, "Husband, when you were in trouble in the past, if it weren't for me, you would have become a starving ghost. But now that you have the will and become a official, your wings are stiff, and you are ungrateful, and you dislike me, don't you? Don't you, as my husband, feel guilty? ”
These words poked at the sore spot in Liu Heng's heart.
When Liu Heng heard this, he couldn't help but be furious when he had a drunken seizure, and said, "You get out of here!" Get out! Seeing that you don't have a smiling face all day long, who do you want to show it to? ”
After that, he wanted to push the snake girl out of the door.
The snake girl stood still, unwilling to leave. Where can Liu Heng push. The snake girl was full of anger, stared at Liu Heng angrily, and said, "Why should I get out, don't roll, see if you can eat me?" ”
The four beautiful concubines all came to dissuade them.
Liu Heng was unrelenting, and slammed his fist into the chest of the snake girl, eager to beat the snake girl to death with one punch. Unexpectedly, the snake girl stood there, "hehe" sneered, still not moving.
Liu Heng got inch by inch, scolded loudly, and said: "You fuck, you are really a snake spirit, an ugly monster, get out!" ”
The snake sister wanted to give Liu Heng a chance, thinking that the two met and became husband and wife, it was the fate of the previous life, and the snake sister cherished it very much, but Liu Heng again and again, he didn't know what to do, to the point where he didn't put the snake sister in his eyes, the snake sister couldn't bear it anymore.
I saw the snake girl, her face was blue with anger, her toes fell to the ground, her arms stretched up, she jumped up, and hovered in the air for a while. The lights and candles in the house suddenly went silent, the air conditioner hit people, and the wind was loud.
I only heard a miserable scream, and the four beautiful concubines were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their faces were pale, and their hearts were about to jump out.
After a few moments, there was silence in the room, no sound, no movement, and the lights were turned on again.
When the four beautiful concubines got up from the ground to look, Liu Heng fell to the ground, there was a pool of blood on the ground, and the head was no longer known, and it became a decapitated corpse.
Looking inside and outside the courtyard, the snake girl and the gold and silver at home are soft, and they don't know where they have gone.
Liu Heng was dead, shaking up and down. The family hurriedly ran to the yamen and reported to Liu Pei.
When Liu Pei heard this, he was taken aback and felt that his younger brother had died too miserably. The snake girl looks so polite, but secretly she is a murderous killer. It's true that people can't be good-looking. Then he sent soldiers, issued a wanted warrant, put martial law on the whole city, and closed the city gates. Dragnet door-to-door search, searched everywhere, and even the shadow of the snake girl was not found.
The case was closed.
At that time, there were two families in Jizhou, Chen and Gao, who fought collectively because of the turf, and a large number of young and middle-aged people died in vain every year.
The Chen family is in charge of Chen Man, and the Gao family is in charge of Gao Ji. Both of them had been taught or helped by Meng Chao. Meng Chao heard that countless innocent people had lost their lives, and he once came to mediate. Meng Chao invited the two of them to his house, asked the cook to fry a few snacks, and said, "Don't call back and forth." It's not good for each other, so it's better to reconcile. ”
At that time, the Chen family was weak and in a passive position, eager to reconcile; The Gao family is strong and strong, in an active position, and is unwilling to make peace. The two families are fighting back and forth. Gao Ji said: "Master Meng, I can listen to you on other matters, but this is the only thing that has not been discussed. With that, he took his leave. Mediation was ruined in unhappiness.
The snake girl killed Liu Heng, and after leaving Tongzhou, she walked to Hezhou.
Inadvertently, from the mouths of passers-by, I learned that the Chen and Gao families fought for territory, had disputes, and had group fights, and countless innocent lives were lost innocently every year, and I felt very uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, he thought of a clever plan to stop the two from fighting.
After the snake girl cleaned up, she recommended herself to come to Chen Man's house.
Chen Man saw that the snake sister was neatly dressed and delicate, and at first glance, she looked more capable, so she asked the snake sister to take charge of the Chen family's clerical account book, calling it the "inner record room".
Because the Chen family has always been in a weak position, Chen Man is often frightened. Pai Jia Ding inquired about the news. The family came back and said that Gao Ji had recently gathered hundreds of young adults, armed with knives and guns, and was preparing to invade the Chen family. When Chen Man heard this, he felt that a bloody battle was about to start again, and he didn't know how many people would die.
Therefore, Chen Man was depressed day and night, thinking about when it would be the end if this continued? So I couldn't eat or sleep, and in just a few days, the whole person lost a lot of weight, and the beads of my eyes were sunken in my eye sockets. Always find a way to end the vicious fight with the Gao family and prevent innocent lives from passing. After thinking about it, I can't think of a better way, so it can be said that there is nothing I can do.
That night, the snake girl saw that Chen Man was upset and restless. accompanied Chen Man, in the courtyard, walking and chatting.
The snake sister said, "Master Chen, you don't have to worry. Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. At present, we only know that the Gao family is coming to attack us, but we don't know the specific time and number of people, and I don't know the plan of action. Why don't I go to Gao's house to find out the truth and truth, and come back to report to you. What do you think? ”
When Chen Man heard this, he was taken aback, thinking to himself how could a weak woman have such great ability. If there is a mistake, it is discovered and the matter is messed up, will it not lead to a catastrophe that will come sooner.
After thinking about it, Chen Man rejected the unrealistic idea of the snake girl.
Chen Man said: "The Gao family compound has high walls and thick tiles, and is heavily guarded, and there are patrols and guards at night. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in. If you get caught, it's no joke. I think it's better to forget it! ”
Snake Sister heard Chen Man's worry from her words, and said confidently: "As long as I want to do something, there is nothing that cannot be done." They tried to catch me, it was a dream. Taking a step back, if I were really caught, I wouldn't admit that I was sent by the Chen family, and I would definitely not bother you. ”
Chen Man saw that the snake sister was resolute, so he felt that it made sense, and he was impressed by the snake sister's courage, so he reluctantly agreed.
So, the snake girl walked into her room and redressed it to facilitate her movements. Comb your hair back and pull it into a bun. Short clothes with narrow sleeves, feet wear green silk light shoes, and wear short knives.
That night, in the dead of night, the snake sister said goodbye to Chen Man. When it came out, it instantly turned into a puff of green smoke, and it disappeared suddenly, and if it was leaning, it turned into a high-ranking mansion.
Since the snake girl left, Chen Man did not have any hope for the snake girl. Thinking about snake girl, as long as she doesn't cause a big disaster. Then he went back to his room alone and could not sleep at night. Only get up and drink alone to pass the time.
That night, there was no word for the night. In the wee hours of the morning, the sun has not yet come out, and the sky will dawn. Suddenly, I only heard something in the courtyard falling softly, ding. The sound was soft, as light as a drop of dew falling from a leaf.
Although the voice was very soft, Chen Man felt as if someone had entered the hospital, and he was startled and checked, but saw that it was the snake girl who had returned safely, dressed in martial arts costume, with a smile on her face, and was unharmed.
It turned out that the snake girl arrived at the Gao Ji Mansion, passed through the wall and the courtyard, ran into the house, and arrived in the bedroom without knowing it. I saw Gao Ji sleeping soundly, snoring and sleeping, with a gold box under his pillow. Quietly, the snake girl took out the gold box. When I opened it, the gold box contained the eight characters of the Gao family's birthday.
Those husbands and gentlemen in the Gao Mansion beat gongs and drums on time, calling the heavens and calling the sky, patrolling back and forth, but the snake sister had broken into the Gao Mansion without knowing it.
The snake girl returned and handed the gold box to Chen Man with both hands. Chen Man was suspicious, I don't know what? The snake girl whispered to her, and dictated the secret, saying that this is so.
When Chen Man heard this, he was overjoyed and followed his plan.
The next day, Chen Man sent a powerful messenger who could speak the Tao to return the gold box to Gao Ji and teach him how to speak. The messenger came to see Gao Zhi.
When Gao Ji got up, he was shocked to find that he had lost the gold box, and wondered who stole it? Urgently asked the family to hurry up and find it. The people were at a loss, where to find it, and everyone was gossiping. It's a mess.
At this time, the doorman reported that an envoy from the Chen family had come to visit. Gao Ji hurriedly called in. The messenger said, "Master, someone from my Chen family came from your house last night and got a gold box next to your pillow. "Let's send the gold box. When Gao Ji saw it, he was shocked and fainted to the ground. Everyone is anxious to teach him.
Soon, Gao Ji slowly woke up. He never expected that Chen Man's subordinates would have such a master, it was really hidden! Since this master can steal the gold box, he can also take the head. Therefore, Gao Ji suddenly felt that his life was in Chen Man's hands.
Thinking about it, Gao Zhi, so frightened that his face turned white, and he didn't recover his blood for a long time. The next day, Gao Ji did not dare to slack off, and asked someone to bring gifts and visit Chen Man in Chen's mansion in person.
This is exactly what Chen Man wants. Then he set up a banquet to entertain Gao Ji and his party.
Since then, the two families have lived in peace and non-aggression against each other. Gao Ji returned to him, and all the hundreds of brave men who were planning to invade the Chen family were disbanded, so that they could go home to live.
Snake Sister's move made the Chen and Gao families turn hostility into jade silk. The two places have been at peace ever since. In fact, no one in the Chen and Gao families wants to fight, but now they see that the snake girl is maneuvering around, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment. The people of the two families are grateful to the snake girl.
Chen Man treated the snake sister warmly and rewarded a hundred taels of gold, but the snake sister refused. Two months later, the snake girl asked for her goodbye and left. Chen Man naturally didn't allow it.
The snake girl explained the reason for her life experience. Because he didn't hurt the innocent, he used a trick to steal the gold box from Gao Ji's house yesterday, forcing Gao Ji, who was on the strong side, to take the initiative to sue for peace, so that the people of the Chen and Gao families could recuperate. Now that the matter is done, we must say goodbye and retire after success.
Chen Man knew that he could not be forced to stay, so he set up a feast for it. During the banquet, Chen Man was sad, and the snake sister also bowed and cried, pretending to be drunk and left the table.
