Maid of a wealthy family

Chapter 49
In the evening, the butler brought a few servants from the Lan family and quietly hid in the grocery market.Sure enough, not long after, a person came out from the darkness, sneaked to the side of the "fair fight" hung by Lan Hongen, and cut the rope on the beam.He was about to hang up the other bucket when the servant of the Lan family rushed over and held him down.

The butler brought Stealing Fighter back to Lan Mansion, and Lan Hongen was already waiting for the good news in the upper living room as if he was sure of winning.Several servants threw the stealer in front of Lan Hongen, and shouted: "Tell me, who ordered you to steal the fight?"

The Stealing Fighter was trembling all over, and stammered, "I, I, I'm guilty..."

Lan Hongen was drinking tea slowly before, but now he put the tea bowl heavily on the table, and the tea splashed out.Then he said sharply, "Say!"

The Stealing Fighter kowtowed to Lan Hongen, but still stammered, "Master, yes, the villain did it himself..."

Lan Horn's eyes widened, he slapped his hands, and said, "Nonsense! Someone—"

Several servants responded, and immediately came over to mention Stealing Fighter.The Stealing Fighter immediately shouted: "Master, I will tell! I will tell you everything. It was the boss of the regiment, the master asked the villain to steal, steal..."

Lan Hongen glared at the man on the ground sternly, snorted again, and then said word by word: "Yes! If you lie, I will kill you."

The man shivered and said: "Small, the villain dare not tell or lie. The head of the regiment, the adults give the villain money, tell the villain to steal as much as Lan, Lan's house hangs..." As he said, The man took out a handful of silver coins from his pocket, put them on the ground respectfully, and then said: "All the money, all of it is here, here. Mr. Tuan Zong, tell the villain not to, don't say it."

Lan Horn turned around.After a long while, he turned his head, his face was not so much angry as self-satisfied about pushing someone down the well.He looked at the man in the ground and said: "Well, as the head of the regiment and the parents of all the people, how dare you collude with the government and businessmen to fish the common people. Your salary, the people's fat and the people's anointment, the people are easy to deceive, but the sky is hard to deceive." He revealed. With a heartbroken expression, he called home and took the man away.

After the servant and the man left, Lan Hongen immediately said to the butler, "Prepare the presents, I'm going to the city to meet the Governor!"

The butler was stunned when he heard this, looked at Lan Hongen and asked, "Now?"

Lan Horn gritted his teeth and said, "I can't wait to have the governor dismiss this bastard immediately!"

The butler sneered inwardly.The master is usually as lofty as a hermit, but now that he has the opportunity, he is so eager to become an official, as if he wished he could put on his black gauze hat right away.But he was still a little worried, and said: "Master, it's getting late, and the road is not safe, or..."

Lan Hongen interrupted him and said, "What are you afraid of? We are going by water, no one will know! Besides, it is urgent to go to see the governor late at night."

The butler wanted to persuade him, but seeing that Lan Hongen had made up his mind, he swallowed the words back.He hurriedly went inside to pack a bag of things, then came out to accompany Lan Hongen, and walked to the Lanjiahe pier by moonlight.

Lan Horn guessed wrong, it was his fault tonight.

As soon as he and the big housekeeper walked out of the court gate, they quietly followed a few men wearing masks.As soon as they reached the empty place by the river, several men immediately rushed up like hungry tigers.First, he knocked out the big housekeeper with a club, and then held Lan Horn down, and stuffed a rag in his mouth.Then, before he could recover, a big sack covered him from head to toe.In the end, the men wrapped the sack with hemp rope, and passed a pole through the hemp rope, and the two men carried it and walked away leisurely.That appearance, it is said to be "lifting a fat pig", is really true.

Lan Hongen finally fell into the hands of Ran Longgui.

It turned out that when Ran Longgui knew that Lan Hongen had raped Juhua and made Juhua pregnant with a child, his hatred suddenly turned into raging anger.He secretly vowed in his heart that he must catch Lan Hongen and tear him apart.These days, he brought a group of brothers to sneak out of Lan Mansion every night, looking for a chance to catch Lan Hongen again.I thought: Three and a half days, one and a half days will touch my knife edge.It just so happened tonight.Lan Hongen, who was overwhelmed by official addiction, never thought that there would be an enemy lurking outside the door to arrest him.Therefore, when he and the big housekeeper walked out, it was like throwing themselves into a trap.

The next morning, Chrysanthemum knew the news that Lan Hongen had been called a "fat pig".

Ran Longgui told her the news.When Ran Longgui delivered the meal in the morning, Chrysanthemum found that his expression was different from the past.It was not ordinary happiness, but beaming with joy, as if meeting a great happy event.His eyes looked at the chrysanthemum, which was extraordinarily bright, as if there were two sparks flickering inside.His mouth was half open, with a mysterious smile on his face, as if he wanted to tell Chrysanthemum something very happy, but he didn't say it on purpose.

When Chrysanthemum met, she didn't ask first, and finally saw the mysterious and happy atmosphere on Ran Longgui's face getting stronger and stronger, so driven by curiosity, she looked at Ran Longgui and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ran Longgui said, "Guess what's going on?"

Chrysanthemum really couldn't think of any happy event that would happen to her, so she shook her head.

Ran Longgui looked at Chrysanthemum again as if he was about to test it, and said, "Guess again!" The joy in his eyes became stronger.

Chrysanthemum thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that she was about to be full moon, would Ran Longgui ask her to get married?Or, they have already made preparations for this, and Ran Longgui is so happy?Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum became anxious.If this is really the case, what should I do... Her heart sank involuntarily, she looked at Ran Longgui with gloomy eyes and said, "Just tell me what you have, don't cover it up like this."

Then Ran Longgui took a step forward, squatted in front of Chrysanthemum, and shouted happily: "Chrysanthemum, we have captured our enemy!"

Chrysanthemum was taken aback suddenly, and looked at Ran Longgui in a daze.After a while, he asked softly, seemingly in disbelief, "What?"

Ran Longgui said loudly again: "Really, Chrysanthemum, we caught Lan Hongen last night and carried him up the mountain!"

The chrysanthemum brain hummed, like hearing thunder.She was suddenly stunned, staring at Ran Longgui dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while.After a while, the bowl in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the rice and soup were scattered all over the floor.

Seeing him, Ran Longgui hurried over to grab Chrysanthemum's hand, shook it vigorously and said, "Chrysanthemum, what's wrong with you, ah! Wake up..."

Chrysanthemum's body twitched just now, as if she was suddenly placed in an ice cellar and was extremely cold.

Ran Longgui looked at Chrysanthemum's face that lost all color in an instant, continued to shake Chrysanthemum and said, "Chrysanthemum, don't be afraid! What are you afraid of when you come to our place? He is our enemy, I will kill him, this bastard with my own hands... ..."

Chrysanthemum suddenly cried out: "No! You can't kill, kill him..."

Ran Longgui was stunned, looking at Chrysanthemum in surprise.Chrysanthemum wanted to stand up, but was held down by him.He asked puzzledly: "Chrysanthemum, what's wrong with you? He spoiled you, hurt you! He's a beast in clothes..."

Chrysanthemum didn't wait for him to finish, she broke away from Ran Longgui's hand angrily, and continued to shout, "No, you can't be so cruel! You can't kill him!"

Ran Longgui was even more puzzled, and after a while, he lowered his voice inexplicably and asked, "Chrysanthemum, I don't understand why you can't kill him? Tell me."

Chrysanthemum was stunned.Yes, why she couldn't kill him, she couldn't explain for a while.She wanted to tell Ran Longgui that she was pregnant with his child.He treated her well, and Lan Mansion treated her well... But, she was ashamed to say these things.Having said that, Ran Longgui may increase the hatred even more.She thought for a while, then she grinned her lips as if she was about to cry and said, "He, he is the master..."

Ran Longgui suddenly sneered.The laughter had a somewhat terrifying atmosphere in the cave.Chrysanthemum shivered involuntarily, then stared at Ran Longgui with frightened eyes like a deer and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ran Longgui had a ferocious and ferocious look on his face.This kind of look was something Chrysanthemum had never seen before.He looked at Chrysanthemum and said, "When we get here, don't care if he is a master or not! As long as he is an enemy, he can be killed if he wants to, and he can be chopped up if he wants to! Tell you, Chrysanthemum, he could be chopped into pieces today, but the rudder The handle said that the money in the shed is tight these days, let his family bring some money first, and then we will "tear up the report". At that time, he will have to be stabbed three times and six times, and his body and family will be separated!"

Chrysanthemum trembled after hearing this.She clenched her teeth tightly and her eyes fell on Ran Longgui's face.She suddenly saw that in Ran Longgui's eyes, the two sparks that were unusually bright before suddenly turned into two fires of phosphorous, faintly green with a light that wanted to eat people.Chrysanthemum couldn't help being frightened.She seemed to see Lan Horn being taken to the execution ground, and the executioners pierced him with "three knives and six eyes", she jumped up suddenly, and then ran out of the cave.While running, he shouted like crazy: "No! You can't kill him—"

When Ran Longgui saw him, he rushed over and hugged Chrysanthemum, and shouted: "Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum, what's wrong with you, ah..."

Chrysanthemum struggled in his arms, still shouting: "Let me go, let me go! I'm going to see where he is."

Ran Longgui said: "You can't see it, Chrysanthemum! He is tied to the post in the shed above, and the 'rudder handle' is specially assigned to guard it by Mr. Qi. No one can get in..."

When Chrysanthemum heard this, she suddenly felt dizzy, and slowly, her legs collapsed involuntarily like cramps.But she didn't cry because Ran Longgui was there.

As soon as Ran Longgui left, Chrysanthemum burst into tears.She couldn't tell why she was crying, she just felt that the tears in her heart wanted to flow down.

On this day, Chrysanthemum felt that it was the most difficult day in her life.She doesn't know what to do?He walked out of the cave restlessly for a while, and walked into the cave again for a while.She wanted to wipe away the image of Lan Hongen in front of her eyes, but Lan Hongen's every frown, smile, every move, and gesture were all stubbornly entangled in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.She had hated Lan Hongen, and had thoughts of revenge.But later, the idea disappeared.What remained in her heart were only Lan Hongen's sweet words, his gentle thoughtfulness and actions, and the faint physical breath on her body.When she thought of the night before the accident, she couldn't help throbbing in her heart with her longing, longing and longing for the master.She remembered the daydream she had that day again, it really echoed the scene in that dream!Could that be the message God told her in advance?Master is really doomed this time, doomed?If this is the case, then let Ran Longgui and the others kill him!This is also his own fault, the carpenter wears a shackle, and suffers on his own... Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum closed her eyes sadly, letting the crystal tears creep down from the corners of her eyes.However, she immediately regretted and became afraid of her thoughts.She thought: "What's wrong with me? How did I become so cruel and inhuman all of a sudden? He has treated himself well! Even if he is sorry for himself, he won't be cut into pieces! As the saying goes He also said, one day, one day, one hundred days of grace! Am I so heartless? Aren’t I afraid of thunder and thunder..."

Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum beat her head sadly again.At this time, a woman's natural weakness, kindness, sympathy, and pity all came to her.Lan Horn's shadow was swaying in front of her eyes, and she seemed to see his lonely, painful, and desperate eyes.She said lovingly in her heart: "Master, you have suffered! Who told you to be careless! What should I do now..."

Chrysanthemum really has nothing to do.She knew that the group of them could do anything.She wanted to beg the "rudderman" and beg him to let the master live.However, she didn't have that courage.Ever since Ran Longgui took her captive to the mountain, she has never seen the "rudder handle".

She believes that "rudderman" is the same as Ran Longgui, with a heart of stone and a devil who kills without blinking an eye.Chrysanthemum could only silently beg the blessing of the Bodhisattva in her heart, so that Lan Hongen could turn danger into good luck again.
