The men in strong suits and his party ran wildly all the way, and finally arrived at the ancestral house of the Zhao family before dawn. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao family's field at this time, a large area along the river is surrounded by low walls, and there are many strong men standing around, and idlers and others can't get close at all.

After getting off the horse, Shan Haiqi walked a few steps and said respectfully to a person: "Lord Wang, the lower official Shan Haiqi has something important to ask to see Lord Zhou, please let me know." ”

Lord Wang glanced at Shan Haiqi, but he refused: "Lord Shan, Lord Zhou has something important, and he won't be a guest in the past few days." ”

"Lord Wang, what about Master Lu?" Shan Haiqi asked again.

"No, Master Shan, you better wait a few days. Lord Wang shook his head and refused again.

"Lord Wang, I really have something important!" Shan Haiqi pleaded.

"What's the matter? Master Shan might as well say something and I'll listen to it. ”

Shan Haiqi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Lord Wang, don't hide it, Zhao Zhigang's youngest son Zhao Xinming ran away. ”

After hearing this, Lord Wang didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "That's it, Lord Shan doesn't need to worry, go back and rest for a few days first, and when Lord Zhou comes out, I will inform you." ”

Shan Haiqi was anxious, but he had no choice but to retreat with everyone.

Zhao Xinming went on the official road, but he didn't dare to rest, so he hurried overnight, and finally arrived in Qinghe County at noon the next day. Zhao Xinming wanted to go directly to his sister, but after looking at the tattered clothes rolling out of the muddy pond, he felt inconvenienced, so he decided to buy clothes.

Qinghe County is not big, and there are two rows of streets in front and back, and people on the streets are talking about the "plague". Hearing this, Zhao Xinming only secretly sneered in his heart, "Plague"? Lord Zhou really treats everyone in the world as a fool!

Zhao Xinming was very familiar with Qinghe County, and soon found a cloth shop, bought a half-worn clothes, cleaned them up, took out a piece of loose silver taels, and put them on the counter.

"Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll give you change. The guy at the counter took the cash two and said quickly.

"Hehe, not busy. Zhao Xinming said with a smile, "You help me do something, and the rest of the silver taels will be given to you." ”

When the man heard that there was such a good thing, he didn't ask about it, and he hurriedly agreed to it.

"This matter is very simple, you go to the Wang family on Dongjie and find Sister Hongyun, and say that the Zhao family is here, and ask her to come and meet. Remember, this matter can only be told to Sister Hongyun alone. In the end, Zhao Xinming's tone was very stern.

The guy hit a spirit, hurriedly agreed, went out of the store, and went directly to Wang's house.

Zhao Xinming has two sisters, named Zhao Zhixiu and Zhao Zhifang, both sisters like Zhao Xinming very much and often take Zhao Xinming to play at home, so Zhao Xinming is very familiar. Now that his family is ruined, Zhao Xinming has to come and stay for a while.

The sister who married into Qinghe County is called Zhao Zhifang, and her brother-in-law Wang Quan is a small official. The Wang family is wealthy and scholarly, and on the boundary of Qinghe County, it can be regarded as a good match with the Zhao family.

It's just that this Wang Quan is scathing and mean, and he doesn't look like a scholar, and his relationship with Zhao Zhifang is very tense. In the past, because the Zhao family was wealthy, Wang Quan still had some scruples, but despite this, he still accepted two concubines, and picking flowers and grass was even more commonplace.

Now that the Zhao family has an accident, Zhao Xinming is being hunted down and killed again, so he naturally doesn't dare to come to the door rashly. This Sister Hongyun is Zhao Zhifang's personal maid, who was married from the Zhao family, and it is best to find her.

In less than half an hour, the guy from the cloth shop came back, followed by a person, who was the Hongyun sister Zhao Xinming was looking for.

"Little young ......" Sister Hongyun was surprised when she saw Zhao Xinming, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Xinming with a gesture.

"Sister Hongyun, let's talk in a different place. Zhao Xinming stepped forward and whispered.

"Little master, you come with me. Sister Hongyun was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded and walked out with Zhao Xinming.

After crossing two streets, I walked less than half a mile to the west, and there was a small courtyard in front of it. Sister Hongyun opened the door lock and walked in with Zhao Xinming.

Zhao Xinming glanced at it, there were a total of 5 rooms in the yard, and they were cleaned cleanly, and he couldn't help asking, "Sister Hongyun, what kind of place is this?"

"This is a property that the lord bought for the young lady, and few people usually come. ”

"That's good. Zhao Xinming sighed, and then said, "Sister Hongyun, something happened to the Zhao family, you hurry up and ask my sister to come over." Also, it's better not to let others know. ”

"What, what's wrong with the Zhao family?" Hearing this, Sister Hongyun hurriedly asked.

Zhao Xinming was very anxious, and his voice was a little louder: "I can't say clearly, it's gone anyway." ”

"Gone?" Sister Hongyun muttered to herself, and under Zhao Xinming's urging again and again, she stammered and said, "I'll go and invite Miss, I'll go." After saying that, he staggered out.

After Hongyun left, Zhao Xinming also sat down on the ground dejectedly. After waiting for a while, I heard a "squeak" at the courtyard door, and two people walked in, it was Zhao Zhifang and Sister Hongyun.

"Little brother, what's wrong at home?" As soon as Zhao Zhifang spoke, tears were already raining down.

Zhao Xinming opened his mouth a few times before he shouted: "Sister, everyone in the family is dead." After saying that, he also cried.

Hearing this, the sisters and brothers hugged their heads in pain, and it was useless to let Sister Hongyun comfort them in every possible way. Affected by the two, Sister Hongyun also cried.

After crying for half an hour, the sister and brother slowly stopped, and Zhao Zhifang whimpered and asked, "Little brother, what's going on?"

"I'll make it clear. Zhao Xinming shook his head and said slowly, "The day before yesterday, there was a sudden news of the plague in Qingyang Town, and after my father heard about it, he wanted to go to the county to take refuge. In the evening, more than 10 men in strong suits suddenly rushed out from behind, surrounded the convoy, and killed them without saying a few words. ”

"Little brother, do you know the origin of these people?" Zhao Zhifang asked again.

"I don't know, listening to Steward Wang, like an elite soldier of the army. And these people were all sent by that Lord Zhou. ”

"Is that the Lord Zhou who bought my family's land and ancestral house?"

"Just him. ”

"I'm going to go to the county to find my uncle, and I must pay for the blood debt of Lord Zhou that week!" Zhao Zhifang gritted his teeth and was about to go out.

The uncle in Zhao Zhifang's mouth, Zhao Xinming also has the impression that he has a good relationship with the Zhao family, it can be said that he is a world friend, and it is certain that he will come out to speak, but it is a pity that this person's official position is not big, and this matter is not so simple.

"Sister, it's useless. Zhao Xinming thought about it, hurriedly grabbed Zhao Zhifang, and said, "I heard that this Lord Zhou dug up something in our field, so he wanted to kill people." Moreover, he can mobilize sergeants, which is not so simple to think about. ”

"Dig up something, what is it?" Zhao Zhifang asked in surprise.

"I don't know. After Zhao Xinming finished speaking, he told what he had heard, and he also told him about being hunted down and killed.

"Little brother, what are your plans? Zhao Zhifang stopped crying and finally calmed down.

"If possible, I'd like to stay here for a few days and wait until my injuries heal before leaving. Zhao Xinming thought for a while, and then said, "It would be better if I could find a reliable martial artist and teach me some martial arts to defend myself." ”

"Little brother, you can rest assured. As long as my sister is still there, I will definitely protect you!"

Zhao Xinming struggled in his heart, but still rejected Zhao Zhifang's kindness. Looking at Zhao Xinming, Zhao Zhifang cried again.

Zhao Xinming couldn't bear it in his heart, and whispered: "Sister, you go back to rest first!"

Zhao Zhifang sighed and said leisurely: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about Master's affairs." ”

Before leaving, Zhao Xinming mentioned Wang Quan intentionally or unintentionally, and the two understood, so they left the courtyard.

In the evening, Zhao Zhifang came over again with his body, and there was an old man with him, Zhao Xinming had a vague impression that he also went out from Zhao's house.

The three of them stood still, and Zhao Zhifang pulled Zhao Xinming and introduced: "Little brother, this is Master Li Zhong and the old man of the Zhao family. If you want to practice martial arts and defend yourself, I think Master Li is the most suitable. ”

Zhao Xinming looked at Li Zhong and saluted respectfully: "Master Li." ”

"Little master, you can't do it, you can't do it. Li Zhong hurriedly helped Zhao Xinming up, rubbed his hands and said, "I don't know much, how can I be the master of the little master." ”

"Master Li is polite. Zhao Zhifang shook his head and said again, "Little brother, don't you know, Master Li has a lot of insights into boxing, and the self-created Li family boxing is also very famous in the entire Qinghe County. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xinming bowed to Li Zhong again, Zhao Zhifang nodded, and then said: "Little brother, Master Li is also the old man of the Zhao family, just tell Master Li what you need." ”

Li Zhong hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, if the little master needs anything, just ask." ”

"Then there is Master Lao Li. Zhao Xinming bowed again.

Everything was arranged, and the siblings said words of mutual comfort for a while before leaving. After dinner, Zhao Xinming finally had time to ask Master Li about boxing, since he was a child, this is the first time that Zhao Xinming is so eager to learn martial arts!
