Chapter 342: Lover Jumps Off a Cliff

Unexpectedly, a festive family affair turned into a bloody tragedy! Everyone met for the first time and was at a loss. Or the master of ceremonies has experienced a lot of things, came back to his senses, and screamed loudly: "Wang Baobao colluded with the mountain bandits and killed the groom." ”

After his reminder, the people on the bully's side regarded Hu Qiong as a mountain bandit, although they didn't dare to come forward to arrest him, but they just guarded from a distance to prevent him from escaping. But Hu Qiong had no intention of escaping.

Soon, Baojia arrived, examined the corpse, and hurriedly sent a fast mountain man to Yiling City to report the case. Soon, the city's servants and catchers came. The arrest quickly took away all the people involved, including Hu Qiong.

A group of people came to the yamen. In the case of human life, the prefect personally interrogated. The Dong bully framed the Wang family for colluding with the mountain bandits and killing people. Wang Baobao said that the groom committed suicide. The two sides quarreled endlessly. The prefect was troubled and put a lot of people in prison.

On the afternoon of the second day, the prefect tried the case, obviously favoring the Dong bullies in the city.

The prefect asked, "Where is Hu Qiong?"

The official said, "It's here to be held." ”

The prefect said: "Call me, all the disasters are caused by this mountain bandit." ”

The Dong bully in the city hated Hu Qiong to the core, and he did bad things twice and three times, only to destroy him, and then free up his hands in the future to slowly torture Wang Baobao's family. This Dong bully has no humanity, he ostensibly marries his paralyzed son as a daughter-in-law, but in fact he is used for himself.

Hu Qiong took a step forward and said, "To say that I am a mountain bandit is unsubstantiated." ”

The prefect said: "Beat you, and the evidence will come out." ”

Hu Qiong said: "This is torture to extract confessions. ”

The prefect smiled and said: "If you don't force you, how can you say that you are a mountain bandit? ”

These officials were old experts in beating people, and the two of them came forward to drag Hu Qiong to the ground, and the other two had already raised their heavy wooden sticks high.

Hu Qiong saw that he really wanted to fight, but he didn't scare the child, so he hurriedly said: "Wait." I have something to say. ”

The prefect "haha" smiled and said: "You are also a soft bone, before the board is off, you are going to recruit." ”

Hu Qiong took out a small object from his arms and said, "I have something, please take a look at it." ”

The prefect was overjoyed, thinking it was a baby, and hurriedly said, "Present it quickly." ”

One of the officials took the thing and presented it. The prefect took a look, it was a jade seal, and he was disappointed, and then looked closely, and the seal was engraved: "General Pingyu Seal".

The prefect asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Hu Qiong. ”

At this time, the prefect knew that the emperor returned to Zhongxiang to worship his ancestors, was assassinated by the Wufu Sect, and was later rescued by many heroes, and the emperor personally named the three opposition Yuan Chuanhua, Liu Xianping, and Hu Qiong as the generals of Pingyu. The prefect is an understanding person, he is greedy for money, but the people in front of him dare not offend, so he hurriedly stepped down from his seat, walked over, took Hu Qiong's hand, and said affectionately:

"I don't know how offended the general is when he comes here. ”

When Hu Qiong saw him change his face, he didn't care about him.

The prefect said: "This is not the place to speak, please move your toes to the back hall." ”

The prefect took Hu Qiong's hand and walked straight into the back hall. Behind the yamen was a garden, as usual, with flowers and trees and birds chirping, and along the winding path, to a private room, where the servants made fragrant tea.

The prefect said: "Just now in the public court, I don't know how to respect my face, and I am offended." Sin, sin!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

The prefect said: "General Hu came to the small town in the mountains, why didn't you inform me, I will welcome the general in person." ”

Hu Qiong was afraid that the prefect would suspect that he was impersonating, although he was not afraid, but he also had to go through a lot of trouble, so he went to Jiangxi to arrest Yan Shifan, destroyed the Yanjia pit in Hunan, and broke the rebellious cave master in Guizhou. This prefect is an old fritter in officialdom, and he has already inquired about what Hu Qiong has done, so when he sees these things and tells them from Hu Qiong's mouth, where does he have doubts about Hu Qiong, and there is only flattery left in his heart.

Hu Qiong told the prefect all the evil things that Dong bullies in the city had done in the past year.

The prefect said: "How can I not know about the evil things that Dong Tianxian has done? I am secretly investigating his evil deeds, collecting evidence, and trying to catch them all." Then leaned forward, faced Hu Qiong, gave a flattering smile, and said, "Now is the perfect time to close the net, please follow the general to the court." ”

The prefect pulled Hu Qiong to the public court and invited Hu Qiong to sit on the side. The prefect slapped the startled wood, and with a "snap" sound, he said: "Come on, this government has now found out that Dong Tianxian has colluded with scoundrels, bullied men and women, killed people and oversold goods, did all kinds of evil, harmed the people, and put this group of people in prison. ”

With a shout, the officials went up together and threw Dong Tianxian and his gang of villains into prison. When the news came out, the people inside and outside the city were running to tell each other, the shops set off firecrackers, and the citizens played drums and rejoiced, like a festival, and it was lively for several days.

In this mansion, the prefect kept Hu Qiong, but Hu Qiong couldn't, so he had to linger in the yamen for two days before the prefect released Hu Qiong.

As soon as Hu Qiong walked out of the prefect's gate, a group of people stopped Hu Qiong, who was from Wang Baobao's family. The Wang family wanted to thank Hu Qiong, and as soon as they saw him come out of the yamen, they surrounded him, hugged him from front to back, and brought him to the king's house. The Wang family regarded him as a hero again, and distant relatives and neighbors all came to the Wang family to see the hero.

After a few days of chaos in Wang's house, Hu Qiong had something to do and was determined to leave. The Wang family had no choice but to release him. Qing'er came to Hu Qiong's side and said to him:

"My life was saved by Childe, let me follow Childe and wait for Childe. ”

Hu Qiong said: "I'm going to a dangerous place this time, and I can't take you away." ”

Na Qing'er lowered her head and just sobbed. Hu Qiong is a hero, and she is most afraid of women crying and is in a dilemma.

At this time, Wang Baobao came over and said to Hu Qiong: "Thanks to Gongzi for saving us several times. We are a poor family, there is nothing to repay, this Qing'er is not stupid, to be a maid to the son, this is her good fortune, and please don't dislike her. ”

Hu Qiong excused herself several times, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to say: "I want to do a very dangerous thing, and I can't take Qing'er to take risks." In this way, let Qing'er come to my house and let her accompany my mother and sister-in-law, okay?"

Wang Baobao said happily: "This is an excellent thing. After Childe left, I took her to Childe's house. ”

Hu Qiong said goodbye to the Wang family and came to the riverside, Wang Baobao led the horse, Hu Qiong turned over the horse, beat the horse, and the horse carried Hu Qiong towards the mountain. But seeing that the mountains on both sides of the river are getting higher and more steep and dangerous, the river is bound by the high mountains, rushing and surging, and the roar is endless. The mountain peaks were so high that the sun only shone down at noon. The mountain road is getting narrower and steeper, walking for a long time, it is already dusk, Hu Qiong had to get off the horse, eat some dry food, lean against the cliff, and slowly fall asleep.

On the second day, the mountain trail was rough and it was not possible to ride a horse. Hu Qiong had to lead the horse and follow the path taken by the slender man, and move forward with difficulty.

Seeing that there was a big boat moored on the shore, Hu Qiong was disturbed, led the horse to the boat, and crossed to the opposite shore. The road on the left bank is slightly flat, and Hu Qiong gallops on horseback.

At night, Hu Qiong ate dry food, let the horses eat grass, and slept against the cliff by herself.

I walked for another two or three days. Late at night on this day, the stars and moon in the sky were shining, and the waves under the cliff were crashing on the shore. Hu Qiong was about to fall asleep in a haze, but saw a person walking and wandering in front of the cliff. Under the moonlight, I saw this man in his twenties, a farmer's child, with dark skin and delicate facial features. He walked anxiously back and forth in front of the cliff, looking out from time to time, as if waiting for someone. Hu Qiong leaned against the cliff and did not move, watching what he did.

After a while, seeing the young man's face showing joy, Hu Qiong stretched his neck to look, a slender figure walked on the mountain road, the young man greeted him, the two met, the young man said:

"I thought you weren't coming. ”

"I have to come. It was a girl's voice.

The two walked up to the top of the cliff hand in hand. The two stood in front of the cliff, holding hands, looking at each other, and the man asked, "Xiaoqian, don't you regret it?"

That Xiaoqian is only nearly twenty years old, but her complexion is white and her appearance is delicate, she said: "Brother Li, I don't regret it." I want to follow you, we can't be together in life, and we will die together in death. ”

Brother Li said: "Actually, I only blame my poor family, which hurts you ......"

Xiaoqian said: "Brother Li, don't say it, I like you, I want to be good to you and be with you." ”

Brother Li held Xiaoqian in his arms and kept kissing her. After a long time, Xiao Qian raised her head from Brother Li's arms, looked at the sky, and said:

"It's not too early, we want to be together forever, Brother Li, you said you would like to be with me. ”

Brother Li said: "I am willing." I am willing to be with Xiaoqian and never separate. ”

Xiao Qian was very satisfied, took Brother Li's hand, walked to the cliff, kicked a stone and fell off the cliff, made a jingle sound, raised her face, and said, "We will be together forever from now on, and no one can separate us." ”

The two hugged and cried.

The two cried, held hands, and raised their feet to jump off the cliff together.
