Chapter 188: Chen's mother died

The curtain is curtained to protect the curtain, and the two lines of tears are missing. In the previous book, it was mentioned that the county ordered Li Wenyan to make Chen's mother enter the mansion, and wanted to carry out a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, forcing Chen Tianba and Ma Wanli to turn against each other. Unexpectedly, Chen's mother was fierce and righteous, and refused to submit to the ministers, so she followed the example of Xu Mu of the Three Kingdoms and hanged herself.

Li Wenyan fetched water with a bamboo basket - it was empty, he was ashamed and angry, and threatened to abandon Chen's mother in the wilderness. Master Shao De heard the news and dissuaded: "My lord, by all means, the people are quite dissatisfied with the construction of the ancestral statue, and Chen Tianba is well known, if he does this radical move, Chen Tianba will attack him angrily, and the people will help from the side, after the city is broken, the adults and the family are afraid that all the old and young will be powdered." ”

Li Wenyan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he begged Shao De. Shao De's thief's eyes turned wildly, and he told Li Wenyan that it was better to push the boat down the river to fulfill Chen's mother's virtuous name. And then that's all it takes...... In this way, Chen Tianba will inevitably fall into the net.

"Brilliant scheme, brilliant scheme. Li Wenyan grinned and praised Shao De. On the second day, Xue Wu, the head catcher, took a proclamation and took a group of patrols to the city gate.

As soon as the proclamation was posted, it immediately attracted a flood of onlookers from the people. Xue Wu sounded again and again, and said with a mouth full of spittle: "Learn to become a martial artist, and sell the goods to the emperor's family." The sages are disciplined, loyal to the king and love the people. Righteousness and filial piety are the right way. Today, there is a thief Chen Tianba, who can't be among the temples to be loyal to the monarch and protect the country, and can't be honored with filial piety and filial piety, robbing the state and plundering the mansion, killing the people, Chen's mother persuaded her son to abandon the secret and turn to the light, how can Chen Tianba's thief's heart not die, Chen's mother was ashamed and angry, and hanged herself. The county ordered Lord Li to thank Chen's mother for her wisdom, and set up a square for her tree to show her virtue. ”

When Chen Tianlin heard the bad news of the loss of his mother, he rushed to Xue Wu and cried. Xue Wu frowned, squeezed out a crocodile tear, and stuffed the twenty-two pieces of silver prepared in advance into Chen Tianlin's hand. He said hypocritically: "Chen Tianlin, the county magistrate is a bodhisattva, knowing that your life is difficult, these twenty taels of silver, you take care of the aftermath for your mother, and the rest of the purchase of a few acres of thin fields." Don't learn from your brother and do evil. ”

The people didn't understand the reason, and praised Li Wenyan for being sympathetic to the people's feelings, and Xue Wu listened, and a trace of imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Master Shao De's plan cannot be described as non-toxic. whitewashed Li Wenyan, derogated Chen Tianba, and took the opportunity to win people's hearts.

Xue Wu sent back and told Li Wenyan and Shao De what happened at the gate of the city. After hearing this, both of them snickered.

Shao De said to Li Wenyan: "My lord, if Chen's mother is born, Chen Tianba calculates that we must not be able to attack an old woman, now that her mother is dead, Chen Tianba will inevitably run back to mourn out of filial piety, as long as we remain silent and secretly monitor the Chen family, we can wipe out Chen Tianba and Ma Wanli." As long as these two thieves are removed, firstly, they can show the imperial court their merits in suppressing thieves and destroying the thieves, and secondly, they can clear the obstacles to Wei Chitose's construction of the ancestral hall and end the big trouble in their hearts. The two thieves plotted tricks, set up poison schemes, and waited for the net.

The day before yesterday, Chen Tianba scolded him with an empowering, and Ma Wanli woke up like a dream. Because of his reckless actions, although he vented his anger for a while, he caused Chen's mother to fall into the hands of gangsters. Ma Wanli was full of guilt,

Mou Si entered the city to rescue Chen's mother.

Ma Wanli was impulsive and scheming, and he didn't know the situation in the county, Chen Tianba was worried that he would not be able to save people, but was harmed by Li Wenyan, so he blocked him in every possible way and ordered him to stick to the camp. Unexpectedly, Ma Wanli stole the token while he was drunk, and went down the mountain at night. By the time Chen Tianba woke up, Ma Wanli had been gone for more than three hours. He smashed his glass in anger and blamed himself for drinking and making mistakes. The minions were sincerely frightened, and some persuasion was to no avail.

Ma Wanli shaved and shaved, and came to the county seat with a firewood. Two evil messengers patrolling the city came forward, and one of them, a roe deer, persimmon face, and pointed chin, pushed Ma Wanli and said to him viciously: "I look horizontally and vertically, how can I see that you don't look like a woodcutter, look at your shoulders, where are the scars left by picking firewood for a long time?"

Turn your face to the fat officer next to him who is full of fat intestines and has a big belly. The fat officer smiled, and a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Ma Wanli was not shocked on the surface, but in fact, he was already shocked into a cold sweat. Two vicious and sharp eyes stared at him staringly, as if they were exploring his inner world. An invisible feeling of suffocation surged up on Ma Wanli's chest, making him feel depressed in his heart. If you continue to stay here,

It is inevitable that there will be no incident. Thinking of this, Ma Wanli handed over the two taels of silver on his body to the hands of the thin officer, he smiled, nodded and said to the two: "The two officials are working duty, and this bit of silver is a small filial piety to you." When the dew is heavy at night, make some wine to warm up and drive away the cold. ”

The thin officer took the silver, slapped it twice in the palm of his hand, and he grinned and sneered: "You strong man is very well-behaved, I see that even if you sell this firewood, I am afraid that you will only get a few pennies, honor us, don't you suffer a great loss?"

Seeing that the errand official was aggressive and refused to let him go, Ma Wan did not change his color and panted breathlessly, he still replied with a pleasant face: "Poor master, as the saying goes, worship the mountain when you meet the mountain, worship the god when you meet the god, the little newcomer doesn't understand anything, and there will be trouble in the future." The small one is strong, and then he will find some decent work, and then he will honor the two of them. ”

With these words, the two city patrol officers were excited, and they flashed to the side and let the horses enter the city. At this time, Ma Wanli looked at the wall, and the black and white words were eye-catching, and the documents for his arrest were posted. Ma Wanli wiped the sweat drops on his forehead with his sleeves, and secretly thought in his heart: "Fortunately, I disguised myself in advance to take precautions, otherwise I would have recklessly broken into the city, and I am afraid that I would have become a ghost under Li Wenyan's knife."

He was secretly laughing, and suddenly saw another three or five catchers in front of him, led by one person, with big ears, eagle eyebrows and a wide nose, and a fierce face. Ma Wanli lowered his hat, picked up firewood and walked forward.

The fast head draws the knife and blocks the way. At this time, the fat and thin two errand officers came forward with a hippie smile.

Said to the catcher: "Xue catcher, he is a woodcutter in the near village, and he goes to the county to sell some firewood to supplement the family." ”

It turned out that Xue Wu, the head catcher, was ordered to investigate the suspicious person, and after Li Wenyan and Shao De killed Chen's mother, they were afraid that Chen Tianba and Ma Wanli would come to retaliate, so they ordered Xue Wu to take the arrester to assist in the investigation, and those who were found to be holding swords and swords were all taken down on the spot. I don't do bad things on weekdays, and I don't feel shocked when I knock on the door in the middle of the night. Li and Shao, the two of them lack virtue and do too much, and often wake up in their dreams.

Ma Wanli slowed down and tried his best to restrain the tension in his heart, at this time Xue Wu tilted his neck, saw Ma Wanli's firewood knife tied to the firewood, and yelled at him: "Stop." ”

The thunderclap roared like a thunderbolt made Ma Wanli's heart palpitate, and he thought that Xue Wu had seen something flawed. The two legs of King Kong were separated, and the true qi was secretly stored in the palm, and when Xue Wu was close, he killed the thief with a thunderous force.

Xue Wu didn't step forward, he pouted at the catcher next to him, and the catcher nodded. He quickened his pace and said to Ma Wanli: "For those who cut wood, this county is a clean and peaceful place, and all swords and instruments are not allowed to be brought into the city." ”

When Ma Wanli heard this, he handed the firewood knife to the catcher, who waved at him, signaling that he could leave. Ma Wanli walked forward without looking back, and at this time he faintly heard a conversation between the two previous city patrol officers and Xue Wu. "Xue Zhutou, Master Li asked us to check day and night, just Chen Tianba, how many waves can be set off?"

After Xue Wu heard this, he scolded casually: "It's all Master Shao, an old immortal thing, who came up with a poisonous plan to earn Chen Tianba's mother, but now Chen Tianba didn't come, and his mother is dead again." Phew, this kobold strategist. It hurt Lao Tzu that he didn't close his eyes all night. Xue Wu complained, and everyone echoed it, complaining about it.

The catchers said to Xue Wu: "Xue Zhutou, you go back and rest first, we will take care of it here, if there is anything, we will inform you." Hearing this, Xue Wu was overjoyed. He said to the catchers: "Hey, hey, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and I have to give Cuihong a warm quilt." ”

The catchers laughed, Xue Wu clasped his fists at everyone, turned around and left.

Ma Wanli heard it really well, Chen's mother died at the hands of Li Wenyan, and Xue Wu must not be able to escape the involvement. In order to find out what happened, Ma Wanli held his breath and quietly hid in the alley, paying close attention to Xue Wu's every move.

Xue Wu turned the street into the alley, and Ma Wanli remained silent and followed. In a small alley called Huazhi Lane, Xue Wu knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, a woman with a bewitching figure who had been greased and powdered walked out. Xue Wu hooked his shoulders and walked in hand with the woman.

Ma Wanli clenched his fists and gritted his steel teeth, wanting to seek revenge on Xue Wu. But after thinking about it, in broad daylight, if Li Wenyan sent someone to look for him and Xue Wu was missing, he would inevitably strengthen his vigilance, and it would be even more difficult to get rid of this evil thief at that time.

Now that you know where the thief is, it's not too late to take his dog's life. Ma Wanli flew the eaves and walked on the wall, and jumped off the wall with light skills. Now he is going to Chen's house to mourn Chen's mother.

With a decayed grass tent house and a rotten wooden door, the Chen family lived a very hard life. Tears fell from Ma Wanli's eyes, and after he pushed the door open, he saw Chen Tianlin wearing filial piety clothes, kneeling in front of his mother's spirit. Ma Wanli's heart was like a knife, and he fell to the ground with a plop, kowtowing like pounding garlic. He wept bitterly and said hoarsely: "Old man, I deserve to die, if I hadn't destroyed the statue of the eunuch, how could the old man have suffered such a catastrophe." After that, he beat his chest and cried loudly.

Chen Tianlin saw Ma Wanli coming and said to him, "Brother Ma, what is going on?"

Ma Wanli told Chen Tianlin about the looting of the people's fat and ointment in various places and the establishment of an ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian.

Chen Tianlin was filled with righteous indignation after hearing this, he clasped Ma Wanli's hands, and told him with a straight expression,

Mother knew what his eldest brother was doing outside, and he was forced to do so. Back then, he was framed by others, and he died nine times in his life, and everything was evil.

Ma Wanli nodded, Chen Tianlin knew everything, which moved him a lot. He told Chen Tianlin that he would seek justice from Li Wenyan when he sneaked back to Yunxian this time. Chen Tianlin comforted Ma Wanli, when is the time to retribution. Li Wenyan has done all the bad things, and he will definitely be guilty of the crime he deserves.

Ma Wanli was willing to listen, and said to Chen Tianlin: "It's still your brother who has blood." As soon as he spoke, he pushed the door and went out. When the night fell, Ma Wanli came to Huazhi Lane again to find Xue Wu for revenge.
