Chapter 109: Cornered
Before the peasant woman went to open the door, several officers and soldiers brutally smashed the door open, swarmed in, and randomly began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to search Liu Xiu.
The peasant woman shouted as she stopped, "What are you going to do?"
One of the officers and soldiers pushed the peasant woman aside and shouted coldly: "What are you doing? We are arresting the emperor's prisoners!"
The peasant woman continued to stop them and said, "What are you doing when you arrest the prisoners in my house?
"No?" the officers and soldiers rebuked angrily: "Someone saw that Qin prisoner run into your village, and now your entire village is suspected, and it is said that this Qin prisoner came to you a few days ago, isn't it?"
The peasant woman flatly denied it: "How do we orphans and widows know who is a criminal and who is a good person, there is no one else in my family except me and Xiao'er!"
The officers and soldiers glanced at the three bowls on the table and asked, "Without anyone else, how could there be three bowls on the table?"
The peasant woman shouted and said, "Don't spew blood, the extra bowl I put on the table to mourn my late husband, is it still a crime?"
The officers and soldiers looked at the peasant woman with ill intentions, and said with a smile: "Mourning for the late husband, I think you are lonely in the empty room, I can't help you have any adultery with that Qin criminal, hehe!"
The peasant woman was furious and said, "How can you, as an official soldier, insult people's innocence? I will go to your general to sue you!"
After that, the peasant woman hugged her child and was angry to go out of the door, but the officer and soldier hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her and threatened: "If you dare to go, I will kill you with a sword!"
Not to be outdone, the peasant woman scolded: "You brutes will bully me as a widow, what kind of ability!"
The officers and soldiers were so angry that they slapped the peasant woman in the face, and the corners of her mouth immediately oozed blood, and the child in her arms was frightened and began to cry.
The noise alarmed a general on the street outside the door, this person is named Gongsun Pu, who has a good knife skill, and is a capable general around the county guard, but he is just lustful, and the number of women from good families who are insulted by him is double ten.
When he came to the peasant woman's house, he saw the peasant woman standing in the courtyard arguing with an officer and soldier, and impatiently reprimanded: "Let you find the Qin criminal, what are you arguing about here?"
The officer and soldier pointed to the peasant woman and said: "General Hui Gongsun, this woman is very suspicious, there are only her and the little baby in her arms in her house, but there are three rice bowls on the table in the house, and her subordinates suspect that she has hidden the prisoner, and she is carefully interrogating!"
Gongsun Pu took a closer look at the peasant woman, and found that although she was a person from the mountains and wilderness, she still had a bit of a posture, and the appearance of bowing her head and crying was even more distressing, and he suddenly became angry, so he said to the officer and soldier: "The people with you hurry up and get rid of Lao Tzu, see what you have scared the little lady into, it's really damned!"
"The general's lesson is that his subordinates will leave now, and they will leave!" That officer and soldier had already heard of Gongsun Pu's hobby, how could he not know what the hell he was doing, so he immediately left with the rest of the officers and soldiers with a wicked smile on his face, and deliberately closed the door.
"Little lady, don't be afraid, with General Ben here, no one can bully you! General Ben will comfort you well!"
How could the peasant woman not understand Gongsun Pu's wolf ambitions, and while comforting the child in her arms, she retreated to the wall.
"You get out of here, if you dare to take a step forward, I'll die to show you!"
Gongsun Pu smiled lewdly: "As long as you keep your fragrant food and spicy food after you have become a general, it is much better than staying in this poor place!
Liu Xiu leaned over and lay down in the stove where there was still residual temperature, and heard the situation outside clearly, knowing that if she didn't go out again, the peasant woman might be ruined by this bullshit general, and when she was about to get up, she heard the peasant woman's pun shout.
"Don't be delusional, although I am only a peasant woman, how can you allow you to ruin my name?
After that, the peasant woman slammed into the courtyard wall behind her, and immediately broke her head and bled out, and died of exhaustion, Gongsun Pu didn't expect her to be so chaste, looking at the child who was still crying in the peasant woman's arms, she couldn't help but leave the trouble, and killed it with a knife.
Gongsun Pu laughed frantically and said, "Your son was killed by Lao Tzu, don't expect someone to avenge you, hahaha!"
Liu Xiu has always thought that he is very cowardly, and he will not have any great success in this life, if it weren't for Mo Xiaoxian's credulity in Cai Shaogong's proverb that he could be the emperor, and instigated him in the back, he wouldn't even dare to kill himself, but the big husband did something and didn't do anything, and now the peasant woman and her children died tragically in order to save themselves, if she is still as indifferent as a coward, what is the difference between it and livestock!
After making up his mind, Liu Xiu pushed away the big iron pot that was pressing on his body, got out of the stove, with tears in his eyes, and pounced on Gongsun Pu, even if he died, he couldn't let go of this dog mongrel.
Gongsun Pu was about to turn around and leave, after seeing Liu Xiu rushing out of the stove, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is really stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to get it, it takes no effort, he is worried that he can't find Liu Xiu, he himself came out, and immediately brandished a big knife to meet him, General Wang Xun can say when he transferred troops in the barracks, as long as he catches Liu Xiu, whether he is dead or alive, the official is promoted to the third level, and the bounty is one hundred taels, I didn't expect my luck today to be so good, I am very excited to think about it.
Although Liu Xiu was full of anger, he finally did not lose his mind, he knew very well that he had a few catties and a few taels, and in the face of Gongsun Pu's big knife that slashed at him, he was not stupid enough to resist, but avoided it sideways, what he didn't expect was that Gongsun Pu instantly changed the knife momentum, and with a horizontal shot, he smashed Liu Xiu on his head.
Burst!
Liu Xiu spurted out a mouthful of blood from his throat, and the ribs in his waist were almost broken, and the pain was incomparable.
Gongsun Puhaha smiled, put the big knife on his shoulder, looked at Liu Xiu contemptuously, and said, "Do you want to avenge her?
Liu Xiu also knew that he had made a fatal mistake, he seriously underestimated Gongsun Pu's strength, and now he was a small matter of dying, but he couldn't avenge the peasant woman and her children, he was really unwilling!
"I can't die yet, I have to live, otherwise my sister-in-law and children will die blindly!" Liu Xiu's mind was racing, wanting to seek a glimmer of life in this desperate situation, in order to avenge the peasant woman in the future.
Seeing Liu Xiu in a daze, Gongsun Pu sneered: "Are you scared stupid? Then catch it as soon as possible, lest Lao Tzu do it!"
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "I know it's not your opponent, but do you know why Wang Mang has to put me to death?"
"Lao Tzu is not interested in this, Lao Tzu only knows that it is enough to capture you and get promoted and make a fortune!"
Liu Xiu said noncommittally: "You will be interested, because I have obtained a secret book taught by immortals, as long as you cultivate according to the secret book, you can become an immortal in less than ten years!"
Gongsun Pu said: "Do you think Lao Tzu will be fooled? If you really have such a good baby, you would have become an immortal a long time ago, and you would be beaten by Lao Tzu all over the ground looking for teeth?"
Liu Xiu explained: "That's because I have just gotten the secret tips, and I haven't had time to cultivate yet, if you can release me today, I will give the secret tips with both hands!"
Gongsun Pu shook his head and said, "Kill you, I can still get the secret tips on your body!"
Liu Xiu put on a posture of looking at death as if he were at home and said: "Then you can try it, although I am not your opponent, I will destroy the secret book before you kill me, and then you will not only not get the secret secret, but also anger Wang Mang, he is angry, and he promises to make your death ugly!"
Gongsun Pu was obviously a little jealous, and said, "You take out the secret book first and let Lao Tzu take a look!"
Liu Xiu saw him take the bait, chuckled, and then immediately reached into his arms and went to dig out the so-called secret note.
