The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Jiang Muxia blew the whistle three times at the back post, then cleared the table, washed the pots and pans, and waited for Daqi to come back and make lunch.

The children came down from the hill and found the missing Zhang Yi in the crowd.

"Come here." Tang Zhongbai learned about his unusual behavior from Jiang Muxia and asked him directly, "Do you know Wu Jun?"

Zhang Yi held a gray rabbit in his hand and pretended not to understand him, asking him, "Didn't I tell you? It was his men who arrested me. I didn't even see his real body."

Tang Zhongbai looked at him steadily, his expression clearly showing distrust, "Then why are you running?"

He held up the rabbit in his hand and smiled, "I didn't run away. I went to catch game. You see, I was lucky. I caught two!" He turned around and glanced at the child following him. Tang Zhongbai followed his gaze and saw that Xiaonan was walking unsteadily, holding a white and black rabbit's long ears in both hands.

"Brother Tang, look, you can eat the rabbit meat." The rabbit in his hand seemed to have a spirit. When it heard that it was going to be eaten, its four short legs kicked quickly in the air, but it couldn't break free. Its red eyes paused, and when it realized that its two ears were being held, it twisted hard again. Xiaonan didn't hold it firmly for a moment, and it almost succeeded.

Tang Zhongbai stepped forward and grabbed the rabbit's four legs. Now it seemed to have accepted its fate and lay obediently in Tang Zhongbai's hands.

"Okay, go ask Sister Jiang to boil some water, and I'll start peeling the skin."

"Oh, brother is so cruel." Xiao Yao covered her eyes and dared not to look.

Tang Zhongbai smiled, the little girl was just kind-hearted.

At the dinner table, Zhang Yi once again expressed to Tang Zhongbai his wish to live in the other courtyard, but was rejected outright.

He had to consider the safety of these children. If they dared to make trouble again, he wouldn't mind putting them in jail.

"You...really are..." Zhang Yi was so angry that he couldn't eat his meal. He said, "Sooner or later I will make you agree." Then he dropped his bowl and chopsticks and left.

The two men picked six melons on their way back to the city. When they reached the East Gate, they saw Feng Nian's head hanging on the city wall with his eyes closed, being scolded by everyone.

Jiang Muxia couldn't help but sigh. If he knew that his final outcome would be so tragic, would he still choose this path?

At the door of Jiang's house, a man walked back and forth, trying to knock on the door. He raised his hand, then put it down. He walked back and forth again, came to the door again, raised his hand, and put it down again. This repeated many times, and he actually squatted at the door, holding his head and sobbing quietly.

This was the scene they saw when they arrived at the door of their home.

Jiang Muxia recognized this man; he was Feng Siqing's husband.

Jiang Muxia jumped off the carriage and asked him curiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

The man's already dark face suddenly turned redder and darker. He dodged their gazes with a flushed face and stammered, "My wife asked me to ask, to ask...about my father-in-law's head..."

The two understood that he wanted Jiang Muxia to help ask Tang Zhongbai if they could let them take Feng Nian's head away.

"Ten days. After ten days, go to the yamen and find a runner named Hu Daxin. He will take you to the East City Gate to get it."

It was common in the Wu Dynasty to display the heads of serious criminals for ten days, and Tang Zhongbai's action was not considered to be partiality or abuse of power.

"That's great. Thank you, thank you." The man bowed happily to Tang Zhongbai and trotted back to the inn.

After the two said goodbye, Jiang Muxia turned back and went to the north of the city.

It was late at night, everything was quiet, the night wind was blowing gently, and without knowing when, a drizzle began to fall from the sky again.

A dark shadow hid in the night and stopped at the back door of the Tang family.

He made a trumpet shape with his hand, and cat-like meows came out.

Soon, there were light footsteps coming from far away towards the direction of the small door.

The small door opened and a tall and thin figure flashed out from inside.

The man in black grabbed his collar and dragged him deeper into the alley, pressed him against the wall, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhuang, you don't want to live anymore. Such a big incident happened on the island, but not only did you not report it to the prince, you even dared to change your name and escape with the culprit. If it wasn't by chance that I bumped into you today, how long would you want to hide?"

"What nonsense are you talking about. Why should I hide? You must know how I was thrown onto the island. I told you that was the last thing I did for him. Now the island has been occupied by snakes. There is no relationship between him and I anymore. Why are you looking for me?" Zhang Yi stared coldly at the man in black.

Zhang Yi was angry. He had made a wrong move and followed Wu Jun. He had saved his life many times. He had helped him prepare poisons that could harm people. What had he done to him? In order to control him, he had captured his only relative and brought him to his house, pretending to take care of him but actually holding him hostage.

His younger brother died unexpectedly, and without the puppet controlling him, Wu Jun asked him to do him one last favor. After this, he would be free and have nothing to do with him anymore.

He stayed on the island for five years, helping him control the snake population on the island, luring passing fishing boats to the island and feeding the fishermen to the giant snakes.

In the past five years, he has done so many evil things that his brother often asks him in his dreams: "Do you regret doing these things? I died in exchange for your freedom, why do you still want to be a tiger?"

He woke up from his dream, had nightmares every night, and was always thinking of ways to escape. Fortunately, he met Tang Zhongbai and his gang, who saved him from danger.

He finally crawled out of the quagmire and ran as far as he could. There was no way he could return to Wu Jun.

The man in black sneered, "What are you dreaming about? You've married the prince, and you still want to leave? It's hard for you to be so heartless when the prince has been so kind to you."

"Bah." Zhang Yi spat on his face and cursed, "Bullshit, I'm his savior, he treats me like this, isn't he afraid of being punished by God?"

The man in black was furious, and he punched the man to the ground. He wiped his face and said ferociously, "So what? You are a member of the palace in life and a ghost in death. Don't ever think of escaping the prince's Five Fingers Mountain." He stepped forward and kicked Zhang Yi hard, and spitted at him fiercely, "I came to find you tonight because the prince still remembers our friendship and asked you to lurk around Tang Zhongbai and find a chance to poison him and take his life."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then you will be buried with him. I'll give you three days. If he doesn't die, you will die." After the man in black gave the instructions, he left quickly.

Zhang Yi got up from the ground, pulled the corners of his mouth, grimaced, stood up with the help of the wall, and slowly walked home with a muddy body.

The rain fell on him but he was unaware of it.

Finally he walked back into the house. The moment he opened the door, the oil lamp in the house was lit. Two people were sitting at the table, looking at him intently.
