Be steadfast in being a passerby Verse 126
The ox cart was still four or five feet away from the caravan, and Cheng Yuliang, who was driving the car, wore a hat and a big cotton jacket with his arms open, and walked straight in the middle of the official road, without the slightest intention of giving way.
"Tell you to get out of the way," began to bark like a domestic dog. The barking made the caravan guards who followed behind raise their vigilance. Lu Changshan, the caravan steward sitting in the first car, was dressed in a light jade crown with his hair tied up, his beard was neat, and he did not see the slightest fatigue from long-distance travel. There was a beautiful maid waiting for him, and at the moment he was recuperating with his eyes closed.
"Tell you to give way." Several big men had already stepped forward.
Cheng Yuliang pulled the reins and stopped the ox cart.
"Hurry up and get out of the way." When he got closer, the big-mouthed reckless man urged.
"I won't let it go yet." Cheng Yuliang raised his head, pointed at the top of the hat, and looked at the big mouth.
The big mouth was stunned, and the old man looked a little familiar.
"Long time no see, Qian Dayao." Cheng Yuliang looked cold.
The big mouth of Qian Da Dazzling slowly opened wide, and the hand holding the horsewhip couldn't help but tighten: "Liang... Liang Ye. ”
It's good to recognize it, Cheng Yuliang chuckled: "Go and call Lu Changshan for me." ”
"I..." Qian Dayao looked back, his face was no longer fierce: "I, Master Liang... Don't be embarrassed, I'm just a beggar to eat. ”
"You're still begging for food?" Cheng Yuliang bullwhip pointed to the side: "You don't dare to call, I'll go see him myself." ”
"Master Liang," the one riding next to Qian Dayao tilted his head and said angrily, "We are the Dousheng Xiaomin, and we want to eat this meal and think about the next meal." The Li family is not thin on you, you remember it, we respect it. But we are different from you, the Li family did not give me a daughter-in-law or a house to raise a son, and I and the Li family do not have such a deep affection. The Li family is gone, and it is enough for me to shed two tears. ”
"Your name is Wang Dahai?" Cheng Yuliang asked.
Wang Dahai clenched his fists: "Master Liang has a good memory." ”
"The shop at No. 78 Fenglan Street in Xuyun City is sold by you." Cheng Yuliang saw him change his face, raised his lips and sneered: "Since you have no feelings, then don't do anything out of line." ”
After a few deep breaths, Wang Dahai crooked his mouth and sighed twice, and his fat tongue picked his lower teeth: "You want to see our chief steward, right?" I'll call you. "Pull the reins and turn the horse's head," but this time is different from the past, and I also advise Master Liang to stop worrying about the glory of the past. Now, there is no Li family. ”
"Are you running around the rivers and lakes with your ears covered?" Cheng Yuliang looked at him: "You think I... Why did I come to you? ”
An eagle roared, and the head of the caravan's guards was stunned, and then shouted: "Be on guard..."
Wanting Dahaima turned his head, drew his knife and leaned over to slash at Cheng Yuliang. Cheng Yuliang sat motionless, and a sharp arrow grazed his vertical collar from behind him, piercing Wang Dahai's right eye.
With a scream, Wang Dahai overturned off his horse. Qian Dayao looked at the man who drew his bow a hundred paces away in horror, his legs between the horse's belly, and he stepped back. Figure 6 walked towards the caravan step by step, and the eagle flew from behind the caravan and swooped down on his shoulder.
The archers who were lying in ambush near the official road all mounted their arrows and drew their bows, aiming at those on horseback, waiting for orders.
"Lu Changshan," Cheng Yuliang shouted loudly, "betrayed the Li family, the old man still thought that you could make more money, but I didn't think that you would still be like that." Rugao: Are the dog bones of the Cai family easy to gnaw? ”
Lu Changshan, who was sitting in the car, clasped his knees with his hands clenched, heard the sound of horses' hooves coming.
The next day, the gate of Rugao City was opened, and the caravan of the Cai family entered the city. The Cai family's mansion was convinced, and the four family members did not go out anymore, so they sat in the front yard and waited in the living room.
At that hour, heavy boxes were carried into the Cai family's mansion and delivered to the living room. Cai Peng, the big boss of the Cai family, was full of joy: "What about Changshan, why don't you see anyone yet?" As he spoke, he went to open the big box in the middle of the front row.
The three masters standing on the side, their eyes gathered. The lid of the box was lifted, revealing the insides of the box... Looking at Lu Changan's empty eyes, even Cai Peng, who had seen many worlds, couldn't help but gasp. The man was not dead, he was trembling, his tongue was still there, but he could not utter a word.
"What's going on?" After asking, Cai Yuan, the second leader, couldn't help but take a step back and look vigilantly at the people who came in carrying boxes. Lu Changan, the caravan manager, has an accident, so can the caravan be okay?
"That's the case..."Li Shang opened the curtain and entered, looking at the four brothers of the Cai family: "There is an account, I want to calculate it with you." ”
"Lishang?" Cai Peng didn't expect him to find it so quickly, looking at the face, looking at the posture and the aura that emanated, he withdrew his hand with the big wrench behind his back. "I thought you were preparing to sell scripts in Chongzhou now."
"My lady is at home." Li Shang stopped beside the box containing Lu Changan, glanced down at Lu Changan, who was so frightened that he shrunk even tighter, and looked at Cai Peng: "Didn't scare you, right?" ”
Cai Peng shook his head with a dry smile.
"Then let's settle the score." As soon as he had finished speaking, an exclamation came from the backyard. Cai Peng and Cai Yuan changed color: "Li Shang..."
"Don't be afraid." Li Shang comforted softly: "The Li family has experienced it. ”
Cai Peng hurriedly said: "Just say what you want, don't hurt people's lives." ”
"When it comes to your own home, you will talk to me about human life." Li Shangjue was amused: "Has the Li family talked to you?" ”
"My father is gone." Cai Ling, the third elder of the Cai family, walked out: "When is the time for retribution, you also have a daughter." ”
Li Shang turned around and opened the box one by one: "Your father is gone, it was killed by Fang Kuo, not by someone from my Li family." If you want to seek revenge, you can find Shaolin, it has nothing to do with me. I'm here today just to settle accounts. The Li family's blood feud of two hundred and nine lives will not be forgotten because Cai Jimin is gone. In the past 20 years, you have not stopped touching the Li family's property because Cai Jimin is gone. The Li family's property, how much has your Cai family occupied, don't you need me to point it out, right? ”
The box was full of people who betrayed the Li family's caravan back then. The screams in the backyard continued, and Cai Peng's hands behind his back were clenched into fists and his mouth opened: "Doctor Li..."
Li Shang raised his hand to stop him: "Don't beg and don't tell who the master behind you is, I know very well." When I have cleaned up your eleven houses, I will go to the Juesha Building, tell me about the eleven pieces of rice porridge that were hung in the fourth year of Taishun, and by the way, ask the Qi family for the 600,000 yuan they borrowed. ”
With a grunt, Cai Peng swallowed, he actually knew everything.
"It won't be long before Qi Ningshu's wife and children will be sent to Princess Yuling's mansion." Li Shang smiled lightly: "You can rest assured, I will not let anyone who plots to rob the Li family and destroy the Li family." ”
Chapter 105
Xin Shansi can sleep more soundly tonight, Datai is dead, Fang Kuo was abolished, and her heart is a lot lighter. Li Jiujiu hugged his mother's big arms, his two little fat legs crossed his wrists, and his upper and lower eyelids narrowed together.
Mother and daughter leaned together, sleeping like a god. Compared to this side, Mo Huilin was not much quieter. As soon as Meng Yao learned that Datai had been killed, a monk from Guilin came to report that his brother had returned with Datai's body.
Bashan grimaced and deliberately wrinkled his brows: "Lord Wang, how can this be good?" ”
"What's the situation first?" Meng Yao was also full of solemnity, and hurriedly walked out of the meditation room to the stone road of Yueguilin.
On the way back, Hongshan put away the prayer wheel and walked in front with the green lotus bowl in both hands. The other fifteen warrior monks all looked sad, and one of them carried the body of Datai to the end, and the right hand next to him was standing on his chest, and his left hand was turning the prayer wheel, reciting the Sutra of Passing Away.
Meng Yao arrived, his eyes fell on the green lotus bowl held by Senior Brother Hongshan, and his hands were folded.
"Simply place Datai's body, and I'll send the green lotus bowl to the top of the Flora Pagoda." In a word, the first half of Hongshan's sentence is full of ups and downs, but the second half of the sentence is full of hurt.
"Bashan, prepare a thin coffin."
"Yes." Bashan bowed his head, his eyes aimed at the back of the line, and pressed the corners of his lips. Datai is really dead.
Meng Yao looked at his senior brother: "I will accompany you to send the relics of your uncle to the Floro Tower." ”
Hmm, Hongshan starts. The two of them sent the green lotus bowl to the top of the Buddha Pagoda and recited the sutra before going down the pagoda. After entering the little brother's meditation room, Hongshan talked about what he had done.
Meng Yao poured tea for his brother, and when he heard that he had come to stop him with a small harpoon, he wondered if he should give him a gift to his little uncle. Is there anything else about Shaolin in it? Uncle Xiao also abolished Fang Kuo in front of the former head of the Shaolin Discipline Academy?
"With her kung fu, no matter how I look at it, I can't feel inferior to Xuanling Ancestor. Fortunately, as you said, Uncle Xiao is a person with clear grievances. Hongshan took the tea handed by his junior brother, but he didn't have the heart to drink it: "The girl surnamed Tan is really cunning." In front of Uncle Xiao, the face of the warrior monk of Xifolong Temple was completely lost by us. ”
"I didn't expect the Xuanling Ancestor to die in the hands of Datai and Tan Xiangle." Meng Yao sighed.
"It's because Tan Xiangle succeeded in his sneak attack, otherwise it would be up to the two of them Who is the opponent of Xuanling Ancestor?" Hongshan said loudly: "Don't you see that Datai's father and daughter, one of the little uncles, were both pressed and beaten by the little uncles." If it weren't for us getting in the way, his father and daughter would definitely have died at the hands of Uncle Xiao. As soon as he said this, he was annoyed, what did he do to intervene?
"Then why are you getting in the way?" Tan Siyu ran away, Meng Yao had a very bad premonition, and pointed out a few shorter: "Uncle Xiao repeatedly asked Datai, who set the time and place to kill the Xuanling Ancestor, didn't you taste it?" ”
"There's a problem talking about Xiangle." Hongshan is a sight.
Meng Yao was silent, and after a few breaths, he sneered: "Datai may have been taken advantage of." ”
"It must have been used by Tan Xiangle, but he also had bad intentions. and talk about Siyu's physical skills..."Hongshan was only suspicious before, but now he is sure, and sighed deeply: "She ran away with Caiyuan, and Uncle Xiao didn't let us chase after him anymore, saying that the rivers and lakes have not been peaceful recently." ”
"Tan Siyu has obviously cultivated Caiyuan, so as long as people escape, if she has a heart, she can pass on Caiyuan's heart method." Meng Yao held a cup: "Uncle Xiao and his wife have close contacts with Yijielou, and she said that the rivers and lakes have not been peaceful recently, so she must not be wrong." ”
Hongshan raised his eyes and looked at the lowered eyes of the little junior brother: "Do you have close contacts with the little uncle?" ”
Gently turning the teacup, Meng Yao raised his lips: "Maybe my character is acceptable, although Uncle Xiao doesn't have a good face for me, but he still trusts me." ”
"You told Uncle Xiao about Datai's return to Mengdu today?" Hongshan glared at the little junior brother.
Meng Yao brought tea to his mouth: "Uncle Xiao said that she has something to ask Datai, let me pay attention to it." I didn't know she was going to kill Datai. ”
You wouldn't know? Hongshan didn't believe it: "Why don't you tell me about this?" ”
"Thoroughly, you won't get in her way?"
"I didn't know that Caiyuan was on Datai."
"I don't know." Meng Yao looked innocent: "Uncle Xiao didn't tell me this kind of secret. ”
Hongshan couldn't tell him: "You find us a house in Xunjiatun." ”
"The houses in Xunjiatun are all inhabited, how can there be empty houses?" Meng Yao took a sip of tea and persuaded: "If you want me to say, senior brother, you should do what Uncle Xiao said, take the green lotus bowl back to Xifolong Temple first, let the temple inform the outside world of the murder of Xuanling Ancestor, and then go to Mengdu." In this way, Tan Xiangle and Siyu's mother and daughter can no longer be swaggering. When there is no way forward, they turn and go back. By then, we'll know whose dogs they have. ”
"Uncle Xiao is alone with the "Twelve Chapters of the Mixed Yuan Sutra", and he is still holding a milk baby..."Today, they didn't see Li Shang. Hongshan was stunned for a moment, staring at the little junior brother: "Do you know where Li Shang went?" ”
Meng Yao raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I went out to collect the bills." ”
On the afternoon of the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, two donkey carts entered from the east gate of Yuyang City and came to the corner gate of the Song family's mansion in a leisurely manner. Seeing that the corner door was closed, the coachman frowned, jumped off the seat and knocked on his fingers.
"What does it smell like?" The driver of the last donkey cart sniffled and inhaled, as if it were feces, urine and rancidity. Kick off the seat, turn over the wall, and land lightly. He looked left and right, and found that there was no one around, so he blew a secret whistle and called the people who were in the Song family.
The coachman outside the corner gate also entered the house and said to his companion: "This is not right. ”
The two waited for more than ten breaths, but before anyone arrived, they showed off their weapons and searched for taste. The closer you get to the main courtyard of the Song family, the bigger the smell. Along the way, they didn't see a single person. The door of the main courtyard was open, and a man lay in the doorway, a large pool of dried blood under him. The man's hands were rotten, apparently dead for some time.
They avoided the corpses and entered the main courtyard. The rot and strong stench pierced the abdomen of the two men. The Song family was wiped out! They frowned, collected their weapons, and began to turn over the corpses. The two of them searched through the main courtyard, but they did not find the lady and the two young sons, looked at each other, and quickly withdrew from the Song family.
Before the two donkey carts left the corner gate, a little monkey jumped on the wall and watched the cart go. At the back door of the Song family's mansion, Wen Mingyue asked, "Do you want Jing Yi to come?" ”
Jing Yi is a strange man carefully cultivated by the Hua family, as his name suggests, if he wants to pretend to be a person, then that person looks at him as if he is looking in the mirror. Hua Fei hesitated: "First keep an eye on the two donkey carts and collect the habits of the coachmen." If he had collected all of them, he could consider having Jing Yi replace one of them.
"Okay." Wen Mingyue knocked on the wall and asked the little monkey to come back: "Here in the Song family, are you going to bury people?" ”
"No, you don't." Hua Feiran moved: "In the past two days, let Jing Yi go around Chongzhou City with the appearance of Li Shang. When the matter is over, how much money should he charge for those two people?
"This trick will work."
The two donkey carts left Yuyang City and headed for Chongzhou. On the way, the two coachmen also released six pigeons one after another. After a day and a night of driving, I finally arrived in Chongzhou. The Xu family in Chongzhou is fine, which makes them breathe a sigh of relief and a little unpredictable, why was the Song family quietly wiped out? Where did the lady and the two young sons go?
ushered in an unexpected guest, Xu Weihai and Xu Weijiang brothers were not very happy. When they heard that the Song family had been destroyed, they were so frightened that half of their souls were gone.
"It must be Li Shang, it must be him." Xu Weijiang bit to death.
Xu Weihai nodded continuously: "As soon as Li arrived in Chongzhou, it was clear that he couldn't get along with us. Now it's stormy outside, and our Xu family is worried about it. I ask you two to report the matter to the adults as soon as possible, so that the adults can make arrangements as soon as possible. Li Shang and Yan Qing can't stay. ”
At this time, in Xunjiatun, Xin Shansi was circling around "Doctor Li", looking people up and down several times before standing and asking, "What is your name?" ”
"Doctor Li" smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to see something wrong at a glance." He took out a letter from his mouth, "The little shopkeeper asked me to hand it over." ”
Feng Xiao, who was guarding the side, stepped forward to take it, checked the letter carefully, and handed it to Jiujiuniang with confidence after checking it.
Xin Shansi opened the letter, and after reading it, she understood what she was about to say, and there was movement in the back room. Li Jiujiu woke up. Xue Bingning ran in and took the little girl out.
Jingyi turned around and looked at the little baby. On the familiar face, Li Jiujiu paused, and several people in the room watched her reaction.
For a long time, Li Jiujiu fiercely screamed at Jing Yi. Jingyi smiled. Li Jiujiu still wanted to hug him, but he didn't dare to do so.
Knowing that she hadn't forgotten her father, Xin Shansi was relieved, hugged the little girl who was falling towards Jingyi, turned her head and said, "I haven't been in the city for a few days, let's go here." ”
"Listen to you."
