Chapter 41 The past is particularly pitiful

(Thank you for the monthly tickets of the two bookworms and moshaocong. Please collect them.)

In August of Hongzhi's hometown, the examination came again. Xu Xiucai, who was unwilling, went to Datong Mansion again to take the exam. As before, there was no such person on the red list. Xu Xiucai did not calm down because he had failed many times. This time it made him more painful, because he wanted to be able to raise people in high school before marrying his wife and avoid it. The fate of not being talked about.

After falling off the list, Xu Xiucai did not want to leave Datong Mansion for a long time. Every day, he was drunk in the restaurant in Datong Mansion. After drinking too much, he talked nonsense and was angry with poetry. Because of this, he was targeted by the Jinyiwei of Datong Mansion.

Normal people understand Xu Xiucai's painful mood. There are many crazy words after the fall of the world's literati are that many times, the government laughs at it and doesn't take it seriously at all. However, a small flag official of 100 households on Datong South Street is serious, because this person is digging his mind to make contributions and seek a way to promotion. This person is Liu Wu Fu.

Liu Wufu collected poems written by Xu Xiucai as evidence, and forced the restaurant shopkeeper to take Xu Xiucai into Jinyiwei. In Jinyiwei, he tortured Xu Xiucai to admit charges such as slandering the court's scientific examination and public demagogy.

Xu Xiucai is a hard bone. He is unwilling to confess his guilt no matter how he beat him. He was tortured to death. The news spread to Pinglu County. The two elders of the Xu family are all old. Ye Chengzong, the future father-in-law, can only come forward to rescue him and spend money to open up the joints everywhere to fish out Xu Xiucai, but he spent a lot of money, but Liu Wufu He didn't let him go, because Liu Wufu had already quarreled with Xu Xiucai and confessed Xu Xiucai and vowed to torture him.

Ye Chengzong had no choice but to go to Datong to internote with Liu Wufu. In a few words, the two of them were stagnant. Ye Chengzong was furious. In addition, he drank a little wine that day and couldn't help it. He accidentally injured Liu Wufu for a moment. Liu Wufu was reasonable and captured Ye Chengzong into the Jinyiwei and slandered him to shield the criminal. , suspected of conspiracy.

My father and future son-in-law were all arrested, and the Ye family suddenly became a mess. Mrs. Ye was loyal and did not know how to do it at all. Seventeen-year-old Aunt Ye Fang had to stand up to rescue her father and brother. She became a seller and asked people to plead for gifts. After half a year, the family property was sold seven or eight times before she found a man in Datong Mansion. The straight official, under the mediation of this man, Liu Wufu released his son-in-law.

For half a year, they have been tortured almost day by day. Ye Chengzong and Xu Xiucai have been tortured to death. When they were released from prison, they described them as withered, their clothes were ragged, and they could not move at all.

Ye Fanggu went everywhere to seek medical treatment and medicine, looking for the two of them to treat their injuries, but it was a pity that all her efforts were in vain. A month after she was released from prison, Xu Xiucai was ashamed to stand on the world and went on a hunger strike and died in his broken house. Soon after, Ye Chengzong's serious injury led to ulceration of his lower limbs. His life, the Ye family collapsed in an instant collapsed and the family was destroyed. .

Mrs Ye couldn't stand this blow. Her husband died by hitting a monument in front of the grave on the first seven days. Poor Ye Fanggu and Lu Qingli grew up under the protection of their parents' doting. Suddenly, all the two lonely little girls became orphans. How huge the blow was, just like they were originally in a tall house. Life suddenly appeared on the uninhabited wilderness, surrounded by wild animals. How could that feeling be described as a panic?

Speaking of this, Lu Qingli's face turned blue, her eyes were red, and her breathing was short. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry. Song Nan sighed in her heart and reached out and stroked Lu Qingli's shoulder to comfort her: "Qingli, don't be sad. It's all over. Aren't you all right now? What happened later? Is the Liu Wufu you mentioned Liu Wufu from Weizhou Jinyiwei Baihu?

Qingli leaned against Song Nan and felt Song Nan's warmth. Then she felt relieved and said hatefully, "Of course, it was the dog thief. After my uncle and aunt died, I was still young and didn't know anything. I would only pull the corners of my cousin's clothes and cry every day. We stayed at home for more than a month and didn't go out. One day, my cousin told me: Qingli, we want to avenge our parents. All this is caused by the dog thief Liu Wufu. We are afraid that we can't do anything about him. Why don't we kill the dog thief and avenge our parents!"

Song Nan said, "So you came to Weizhou to kill Liu Wufu?"

Lu Qingli said, "We first went to Datong Mansion to find an opportunity to kill the dog thief, but the dog thief had been transferred elsewhere. We couldn't find out the news, so we spent two years looking for his trace in the states and counties of Datong Prefecture. In October the year before last, we found his traces in Weizhou. It turned out that the dog thief was promoted. I came to Weizhou to be the chief flag officer of the brocade guard.

Song Nan said, "Have you been looking everywhere for these two years? How do you live?"

Lu Qingli said, "A pair of earrings left by my aunt was taken by my cousin. We stayed in the cheapest inn and ate the cheapest meal. All the purpose is to find the dog thief's hand to avenge him. This pain is nothing."

Song Nan sighed, and there was a trace of pity in Lu Qingli's eyes.

"After coming to Weizhou, things were not as smooth as we thought. The thief lived in the brocade guard government, where there were so many people that we couldn't do it at all. My martial arts were very ordinary, and I couldn't compete with the brocade guards alone. My cousin said that we should think about it in the long run, so we plated the remaining 100 taels of silver. When I came down from the small courtyard, I opened the door to do business to hide my identity. At the same time, I secretly explored the behavior of the dog thief. Because I couldn't keep an eye on him from time to time, and I was afraid that my identity would cause suspicion, so the progress was slow.

Song Nan said, "This matter is very risky. You have to find a chance to do it. After doing it, you have to escape safely. The other party is also Jinyiwei. You two sisters really did it. It's incredible."

Lu Qingli looked at Song Nan gratefully and said, "Brother Song, if it hadn't been for your help, I'm afraid we would have been arrested, and my cousin'm afraid her life would be out."

Song Nan said, "How did you get into a brothel?"

Lu Qingli said, "We gradually heard the law of the dog thief's activities. This dog thief is very shameless. Every few days, he goes to Yihongfang... That... ** The cheap place is looking for fun. Usually, there are three or five groups of people, that is, when we are often single when looking for fun; my cousin said that we can only do it in brothels, but there are many people outside. It was not easy to do anything, so my cousin came up with an idea. She and I pretended to be... those people. When the thief came to the door, we would lure him into the room and then kill him when he was unprepared.

Song Nan said, "Thanks to her that she can think of it, but this is a good strategy. Family hatred is not the same. If it is easy, I will also put down everything to kill the enemy."

Lu Qingli said, "Yes, the dog thief also brought a subordinate on that day. Anyway, my cousin had to do it, otherwise her identity in the brothel would be exposed and there would be no chance. So we took the initiative to ask to serve the dog thief and his men. The dog thief really saw us. The sister's heart moved. In the room, the dog thief and his men took off their clothes and wanted to make a shameless trip. My cousin and I took out the knife and took it. The dog thief reacted quickly and blamed me for my poor learning. He took action slowly and was pulled out my knife by the dog thief. My cousin was stabbed by him to save me, but in the end we killed him. Then I helped my cousin jump from the back window and escape from there. You know what happened later, and there is no need to say more.

Lu Qingli said lightly. Song Nan was thrilled. How fierce the life and death in the brothel room last night were, and there was a disaster of life between lightning and lightning. In the end, the two escaped from the tiger's mouth, which had to be said to be a blessing. Needless to ask, Song Nan also understood that the room where the murder occurred must also be carefully selected by Ye Fanggu. Choose, because only the room could escape safely from the back window with a branch, but the plan was not as good as the change. She never thought that Liu Wufu would take one to the brothel. She didn't expect that Liu Wufu would react so quickly that she almost lost her life.

Song Nan breathed a sigh and whispered, "Congratulations on your sisters' revenge. It turns out that you killed people for revenge. I did a good thing to save you."

Lu Qingli said, "Brother Song now knows why my cousin is indifferent to you. Since the incident at home, my cousin has not liked the people in the government, especially Jinyiwei. When you first came to my shop for a drink, my cousin also privately said that Brother Song is chivalrous and hard. She also said that you are brave and resourceful. If you are alone, you dare to challenge the Song family.

Song Nan smiled and said, "Am I so powerful?"

Lu Qingli said, "I think it is. My cousin doesn't praise people randomly. Besides, you look a little like your future brother-in-law, especially your eyebrows. I'm afraid that's why your cousin had a good impression on you at the beginning."

Song Nan touched his nose and said, "This is really strange."

Lu Qingli said, "Later, you fought with Jiang Qianhu and the head of Jinyiwei, and my cousin said that she saw the wrong person. You and they are the same. Since then, my cousin has been cold to you. Think about whether that's the case."

Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that it's really like this. Then, your cousin hates Jinyiwei and all the people who make friends with them. Isn't this a rod overturning a boat of people?"

Lu Qingli said quietly, "Brother Song, don't blame your cousin. If you suffer from our changes, you will inevitably have this idea. Qingli apologizes for Brother Song for his cousin. Brother Song is by no means that kind of person. I firmly believe it."

Song Nan smiled and said, "I'm not so careful. Thank you for telling me the truth, so that I have done a good job of saving people this time. I want to explain this to your cousin clearly so that she won't misunderstand me. I don't want your cousin to regard me as a traitor. In case your sisters attack, I A small life is over."

Lu Qingli blushed and said, "How could I? ...Brother Song is a good man. Qingli will never be unfavorable to Brother Song. Absolutely not."

Song Nan laughed and said, "Stupid girl, lied to you."
