The son is responsible

Yanli City is an ancient city with a history of a hundred years. The bronze tiger head is inlaid on the tall lacquered ancient city gate. There are horses and pedestrians coming and going at the gate of the city. It can be seen that this is a leisurely small city that keeps its duty.

Close to Pingjiang City, it is within the jurisdiction of the Pingjiang River Basin, prosperity and prosperity are a must.Many of the wealthy merchants in Pingjiang City have branch offices in Yanli City, or they are used as warehouses for goods.

In restaurants and teahouses, people are full of wine and food, and idlers gather at a table and start talking nonsense and bragging.

"Have you heard? The new government official, the one sent from Yongdu, died in Fuhua Lane again, bitten by a dog beyond recognition, that's miserable!"

"You don't think it's evil! In three years, three Yamen officials came here in a row, and they all died within a year after taking office! They were all bitten to death by dogs."

"I heard that the high officials of Yongdu are coming...the two people who died earlier didn't take it seriously, but this time they really take it very seriously!"

"The dead Lord Ximen was a guest of the Prince Regent's Mansion. It seems that Emperor Jialin wanted an explanation."

"By the way, is today the day when the yamen owner's son marries his wife? I think the yamen guards have already cleared the way at the city gate."

"That's right, the daughter-in-law is the eldest lady of the Marquis of Pingjiang, Xue Mei, she is in her late twenties, she has been helping the family in running the business, she is a very cunning woman! Why do you think she fell in love with our yamen master's sick son? "

"Who knows... let's not talk about it, the bride's carriage is coming, I'll go to the city gate tower to watch the excitement!"

"Walk around..."

Yanli outside the city.

With the sound of gongs and drums, a group of carriages passed by slowly. In front of the group were two tall horses with two big red flowers hanging on their heads. Afterwards, the carriages were extremely luxurious. The curtains are also woven with gold and silver threads.

Marrying a concubine in the Marquis of Pingjiang, the battle is extremely huge, with nearly a hundred carriages attached to the dowry alone.Among them, the most conspicuous one is the carriage in which the new daughter-in-law rides.

"Sister, I'll send it here, take care." Beside the carriage, the big brother of the Xue family, who was seeing off his relatives, approached the carriage, with a full face, and finished softly.After that, he led a small team of people on horseback and turned away.

Another person leaned over, "Miss Xue, the young master has cough and asthma again, so he can't come in person. The old slave came to pick up the bride for the young master."

On the carriage, the concubine of the Xue family, who was wearing a red hijab, remained silent.

The bridegroom was not the bridegroom himself, probably because he felt aggrieved, after all, she was a woman from the Pingjiang Houfu, and her status was much higher than that of the little Yanli yamen.

The old man waited for a while, but there was no answer in the car. He sighed and ordered the people around, "Let's go!"

The carriage entered the city gate.

Just now, the shining sword edge that was lying on the neck of the new daughter-in-law with the red hood slowly fell down.

Xue Muji felt that the danger of his life was gone. He was wearing a red wedding gown, the skirt was so long that it dragged the floor, and the gold and silver hairpins in his hair pressed his neck and cramped.

A gust of wind blew by, and he quickly grabbed his head that was almost blown up with his hand. He raised his hand and touched his side. The dangerous person next to him who suddenly jumped into the carriage seemed to have left.

Good risk, good risk.These days, besides him, there are actually people who sneak into the city in the carriage of other people's wedding.

Just when the carriage stopped at the gate of the city, the man took advantage of the fact that the eldest son of Pingjiang Hou's mansion who was sending off his relatives was not paying attention to the conversation with the subordinates of Jiang Yazhu who came to greet him, so he suddenly jumped up and stuck the sword gap directly to his chest. neck.

Xue Muji's first reaction was that Xue Mei's lover didn't wait for Xue Mei, the one who came to rob the sedan chair, just about to lift the cover to tell the other party that the robbery was wrong, your sweetheart is already waiting for you at the place you agreed upon.

The raised hand was grabbed violently by the man.

It felt like the other party hesitated.

It's over, wearing clothes, changing the body, the skin on the hands is rough, obviously it doesn't belong to a woman.

He was trembling, but this brother kept this posture until the carriage started, Xue Muji understood that this man wanted to enter the city, and he didn't want outsiders to know.

Yanli City has not been peaceful recently. When he was regarded as a lunatic and lived in a straw shed in the village, I heard from the parents of that family, it seems that since he changed his body, he has been counting since he changed his body. For three years, Yongdu came to Yanli City as a government official , all died under the mouth of the dog.

This kind of statement, even if he was killed, he would not believe it.Whose dog is so obedient, it will never bite the face when biting people.

This person, shouldn't...

As a weak girl about to marry, Xue Muji quickly expressed with gestures that she fully understood what the robbers meant, and would be very cooperative in sending the robbers into the city.

Fortunately, the man quickly got off the car and disappeared.

The carriage turned two corners, Xue Muji had already taken off the troublesome wedding dress, and changed into his own clothes. Seeing that there was no one around, he jumped out of the carriage, turned into the alley and ran until he got out. Four or five alleys, after making sure there was no one behind, leaning on the wall, sat panting in front of a ruined temple door.

He finally escaped from the broken village, three years, three years, if he hadn't met his sister Xue Mei's sweetheart, he didn't know how long he would be imprisoned.

He tried countless methods, pretending to be a good little white rabbit, pretending to be literary and reciting poems, making noise day and night, kicking the shed to pull chains, and self-mutilation on a hunger strike... However, the people in the village just didn't believe that he was not crazy.

I don't know what that Pingjiang Zhenshizi did before, so that no villager trusts him!

Until three years later, a strange man carrying an epee came to the small village.The man had one arm disabled, and his upper body was naked except for a piece of cloth that tied the sword.The lower body is covered by a tiger skin skirt, dragging straw sandals, and a ghost mask on the face, covering the real face.

He passed by the small road of the village, stepping on deep pits one after another on the muddy road. The villagers closed their doors and windows in fright, and even blocked the door gaps with rags, for fear that this ghostly figure would sneak into their homes and cause death. They bring disaster.

At that time, Xue Muji was combing his hair in the thatched shed with his head turned sideways, with his back facing the outside. The chains on his wrists were rattling. Turn around, my God, ghost! ! !

That grimace-like face was sticking to the side of the thatched shed, and the eyes exposed outside the mask looked like a wild wolf that hadn't eaten for a long time.

Xue Muji didn't even think about it, he pulled the chain to the longest with all his strength, and hugged the thigh of the ghost-faced disabled person, help!help me!

Xue Muji simply pretended to cry while telling that his tragic experience was of course made up by him, but he was not crazy but was locked here.

Any normal person, even a sane ghost, would find him not crazy.

In the past three years, Xue Muji has only seen him as an outsider, whether he is a human or a ghost, he is all hope!

I don't know how many times he said it, the man suddenly took a few steps back, pulled out the heavy sword on his back with one hand, and pointed at Xue Muji.

Xue Muji felt the oncoming sword's edge, he closed his eyes, only heard a shaking sound, the heavy chain on his wrist and ankle fell off the flesh and fell to the ground.

The man turned to leave, Xue Muji followed closely behind him regardless of the leg pain caused by not walking for a long time.

It was very difficult for him to regain his freedom, but he didn't want to be arrested and locked up by the villagers.

The man didn't care about asking, and let him follow.

If it wasn't for Xue Muji's legs hurting so much, he almost rolled down the mountain when he stepped on the empty mountain road, and the man said "be careful" and helped him, he thought he was dumb for a while.

In fact, after getting acquainted with each other, it's not that scary, that person has a fierce face and doesn't talk much, but Xue Muji has never seen his face under the mask.
