Mei Zhanxue Shuanghe Town failed to pick lotus, it was already unhappy, and Chu Qingliu's answer on the way back was even more unsatisfactory, and it became more and more uneven. barely slept until the fourth watch, but felt that it was really difficult to stay in this Gwangju city for another moment, so he secretly got up and took the horses out of the city, not caring at all that someone was following. After running out for more than ten miles in one go, I felt that my chest was slightly relaxed.

She had two horses to change, but she had to stop for a while to let the horses rest, and she refused to even eat, but just followed the horses to drink some water, so she hurried all the way, and she couldn't wait to reach Xiaolong Valley immediately. But what happened when I arrived, I didn't even think about it.

When it was getting dark, she ran nearly 200 miles and came to the outside of Baojiazhuang in Xiaolong Valley. There was no inn in the village, Mei Zhanxue found a family to live in, and she had no dreams all night. I slept until dawn, when I was woken up by the neighing of cows and donkeys, and got up to see the village.

Although the name of Xiaolong Valley is a valley, and the narrowest part is two or three miles wide, but the peaks on both sides are facing each other continuously, and it is really the appearance of a valley. The idyllic people in the valley are dotted around, quite a three-two out-of-this-world style, look closely at the faces of those villagers, look and behave, and the villagers encountered in the east of the river are not too similar. This place is far away in the hinterland of the Central Plains, unlike the northwest border, where there are many military disasters and wars, and the livelihood is not even better.

The Bao family lives on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, isolated in the east of Zhuangzi, although most of them are grass houses, but they are tall and open, and the houses are continuous, but they still do not lose their grandeur.

Mei Zhanxue saw that the servants and servants in front of the gate of the Bao family came in and out in an orderly manner, and their words and deeds were the same, not like someone came to make trouble, so she walked around the village. When I returned to the gate of the Bao family, I saw that many villagers had been surrounded on both sides of the gate, men, women and children, pointing and pointing, and talking to each other. Mei Zhanxue went around to the front and followed everyone towards the gate.

Ten steps away from the gate, in front of the doorway, there was a small figure kneeling, dressed in a white mourning dress and wearing a filial piety hat, kowtowing to the gate from time to time. A big red character is written on the back, but if you look closely, it is a "miserable" word.

Mei Zhanxue turned her head to ask someone, but as soon as she turned to a person, before she could speak, the person shook her head again and again, not knowing whether she didn't know or didn't want to say more. Two more people, still the same, one closed his eyes and shook his head, and the other simply walked away, obviously unwilling to say more.

There was not much time, and a man hurriedly walked out of the gate, dressed in an old blue cloth robe, and in his early fifties. The man's face was gloomy, he walked a few steps quickly to the front of the child, squatted down, and said, "Baocheng child, you go home with the second grandfather, what do you have to say, let's go home and say, stop hitting my old face, okay?" The child didn't speak, just shook his head. The old man was not irritable, turned these two sentences over and kept talking.

This side is persuading, and there are people coming in front of the gate, men, women and children, all of them wearing white scarves on their heads and filial piety belts around their waists, and everyone knelt down behind the child in turn, and they also kowtowed to the door of the Bao family from time to time.

This incident was obviously a big surprise to the old man, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he stood up and couldn't even say a word.

Among the kneeling people, one coughed violently, and two women let out a loud cry of sorrow, kowtowing, patting the ground, clapping their hands, and crying. Mei Zhanxue listened to it for a long time, but she couldn't hear what they were talking about, only heard that one was the cousin of the deceased, and the other was the cousin of the deceased. Mei Zhanxue listened to it on the side, and in addition to being sad, she couldn't help but be frightened, and among the elderly onlookers, some people couldn't bear to listen and watch again, so they shook their heads and left.

The old man in cloth came to his senses, clasped his fists to the kneeling people and said, "Since you are relatives of my Hongshan nephew, you are not outsiders, please come in and speak." The inside story of this matter is not what you think, and it is well known to the people of Honzhuang, and it is not something that I can conceal and fabricate by Bao Xianshou. Hongshan's nephew is dead, but my son Honghu is also dead, and I am as miserable as you. Four or five months have passed since this incident, and you have come to the door again to make trouble, what use is there except to embarrass and humiliate me? Where is my surname Bao and what face do I have to take care of? Where am I afraid that you will make trouble? You can only cry when you cry, and you can only scold and scold, I have already said that, I will go in and never come out again. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the prefecture and county to file a complaint, and go to Tokyo City to file a complaint, no matter how the government sentences, even if it asks for my head, I will cut it off for you. With that, he turned around and went through the door.

A person stood up in the crowd and sneered: "Although Bao Lizheng is not an official or an official, after all, he often walks around the yamen and knows how to use the word "government" to suppress people. Is this so easy to sue? You see, this child is not even 10 years old, and if you let him go to Tokyo to file a complaint, don't you want his life for thousands of miles? Besides, the officials protect each other, and this child has no money to take care of, so how can he be courted at the yamen? The surname Bao, you are so vicious. ”

Bao Xianshou stopped and turned around and said, "According to you, what should I do?"

The man said: "We are here today, just to seek justice for Bao Hongshan, for Baocheng this child, how can it be said that you are looking for trouble? You are rich and powerful in your bag, and you are a good fist and kick, we can hardly do it against you, so I brought the child to the door to cry and beg, and I think you may be able to find out with your conscience, who knows that you are hard-hearted, jackal-hearted, without any humanity, open your mouth to the government, close your mouth to the capital, and use officials to oppress people." I also told you that I believe that sheep can sing songs and sows will go up trees, but I don't believe in any government. Your son also died, why did he die? Why did Bao Hongshan die? What was the cause of this incident? This three-year-old child knows everything, why do you want to go to Tokyo?"

"Three days later, we will meet in this place and talk about this in detail. Bao Lizheng, if you can't move your family out of Xiaolong Valley, don't report to the official, don't oversleep, and come out after eating at the hour, we will not wait. As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to the child, and said, "Baocheng, you go and hand it to him, don't worry, with us here, he won't dare to beat you." ”

The child got up and walked up to Bao Xianshou, stood two steps away from him, put the envelope on the ground, and walked back without saying a word.

Bao Xianshou was already trembling with anger, and said: "Baocheng, when did I beat you, and when did my family beat you? ”

Baocheng said: "Bao Hongshan's daughter-in-law beat me, she is your daughter-in-law." ”

Bao Xianshou was extremely angry, his voice was trembling, and he said, "Can it be called a beating?"

Bao Cheng said: "Do you have to be beaten to death? Second grandfather, it's useless to say this." You remember don't forget to go on a date in three days, I can't win you with reason, but someone can win you. He took a man's hand and walked out of the village. On the front chest of his filial piety robe, a word was also written crookedly, which was the word "sad", but it was black.

Bao Xianshou's body was upright, his right palm was pressed on his waist, his strength was everywhere, the envelope rose into his palm from the ground, the palm of his hand was reversed, and with a wave of his hand, the Cambodian post was like an iron plate whirling towards the vest of the person who was the leader. Bao Xianshou made a move, and then sneered: "Go, then take your things with you." ”

Mei Zhanxue has seen the masters with her own eyes, one is her father Mei Hongtai, and the other is Wei Shuoren, the eldest brother of righteousness, seeing Bao Xianshou casually throwing Cambodia and beating people, she only feels that this person is not weaker than her father's eldest brother, and even stronger, and can't help but look at him with admiration.

The man waited for the card to hit the back of the heart, turned around in a hurry, stretched out two fingers to clamp the card sticker, turned four or five circles, and unloaded the strength of the post. said: "Mr. Bao is so strong internal force, if this Cambodian post is hard to connect, I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself, so I have to ask for a coincidence, which is no way." ”

This person's internal strength may really be as he said, no match for Bao Xianshou, but this one-handed method of dissolving strength, how can he make it so appropriate if he is not a master? With such martial arts, he is actually just a messenger, isn't the person behind him more difficult to deal with?

If you don't ask, you can know that they must be people from the Chaos Alliance, and they found out about the mistake of the Bao family out of nowhere, so they came to the door to slander people. It is unreasonable to snatch the scriptures and books, but they can start from irrelevant places, and do this thing so justifiably, to make the Bao family suffer. Thinking of this, Mei Zhanxue suddenly remembered what Qu Lingyu had said in Shuanghe Town: "But can you guarantee that Mei Lao Dart has never done anything against his will?"

The man took the Cambodian note and put it in his arms, and said: "Mr. Bao refuses to read the Cambodian post, is it possible that this matter will be revealed like this? I'm afraid it may not be? Three days later, will we meet at your house? Or will we meet at this door? Go to the yamen to meet those words, Mr. Bao doesn't have to say any more, we don't agree." Mr. Bao, you can not say a word, and you can just kill our group, even Bao Baocheng will kill you, but that won't help. Mr. Bao might as well give me a word, and I will return to my life when I go back. ”

Bao Xianshou said: "At this point, why don't you make it clear at once? You want to find trouble with my family, but you really can't find a place to start, so in desperation, you will use the matter of Baocheng's family to make trouble." Why did the Baocheng family suffer such a tragic change, you all know it in your hearts, but you pretend to be confused and refuse to reason. If you want to make a big deal out of it, you have to do it. Go back and tell your chief, just say what I said, if you want to be a villain, you might as well do it openly, you don't have to be so secretive and make people laugh. After three days, there is no need to choose another place, and we will meet again in front of this door. Don't worry, my Bao family will not set fire to the village and commit suicide, and second, will not flee to another country. After saying that, he didn't look at everyone again, turned around and went into the door. Hearing a few words, Mei Zhanxue was very happy, and she couldn't wait to applaud.

The man clasped his fist and arched his hand to the onlookers, and said, "Fellow villagers, please meet here in three days, we will have something for everyone to see, and it will not be difficult to see who is right and who is wrong at that time." Not only did Bao Baocheng's family die unjustly, but you have all been deceived by the traitor Bao Xianshou for a long time. After speaking, he bowed again, and then beckoned everyone out of the village.

Mei Zhanxue immediately followed, wanting to see where they were going. After a short time, a person turned around and came to her and said, "The girl must be surnamed Mei, Miss Mei, you don't have to follow anymore, we will live in the old store of the Liu family in Laoying Town, twenty miles away." ”

Mei Zhanxue saw that it was useless to follow again, so she had to return home. After walking not far into the village, she saw a mother-in-law sitting there under a wall, Mei Zhanxue suddenly remembered that this mother-in-law was sitting here early in the morning, and she didn't seem to follow the villagers to see the excitement. With a thought, he walked over and squatted in front of his mother-in-law, and said, "Mother-in-law, I want to ask you something, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to know, and if you do, you won't dare to say it." ”

The mother-in-law said: "If you dare to ask, I will dare to say." At my age, even if I kill someone and put them in prison, I don't have to be chained up anymore, what else would I not dare?"
