Make a long-term worker as an old attack

"You...?" Seeing that the driver sitting next to him stopped the car instead of running away, Xue Zhaoqing's heart sank, and he secretly thought that something was wrong. He must have been targeted when he was about to go out. Someone should do it first. Coachman, come to rob the road again, and cooperate with the inside and the outside, clearly surrounding them with impenetrable water.

"Brother Zhaoqing? What's going on outside?" Xu Caixing in the car was about to poke his head out when Xue Zhaoqing stopped him.

"Sister-in-law, no matter what happens later, you should hide in the car and don't come out. If you can escape if you find a chance, run as fast as possible, as far away as possible."

Seeing the masked men approaching gradually with gleaming knives, Xue Zhaoqing's heart was also agitated.As a scholar, he is no match for these rough people, but his sister-in-law is in the car, even if she risks her life, she has to protect him.

Xue Zhaoqing felt his heart beating faster in his chest, he hugged the package tightly, secretly put his hand into the package, and tightly grasped a short-handled dagger in the package.

The group of masked people got closer and closer, just when Xue Zhaoqing thought they were going to strike soon, those people stopped approaching, and even put away the raised knives in their hands.

"But the distinguished guest of the Xue family in Sanyuan County?" A masked man who looked like a bandit leader shouted at the carriage from a distance of three or two meters.

"Exactly." Before Xue Zhaoqing had time to answer, he saw the unremarkable coachman shouting at the crowd.After yelling, he ignored Xue Zhaoqing's surprised eyes, got out of the car, walked up to the leading man, and bowed his hands: "Brother, my sister-in-law brought it back for you, and it's in the car."

Hearing what the driver said, Xue Zhaoqing was startled. Looking at the masked man, he had already taken off half of the mask. Xue Zhaoqing was very familiar with the face under the mask.

"Brother?!" Xue Zhaoqing shouted, jumped out of the carriage, walked forward, repeatedly checking the person in front of him.Xu Caixing heard it clearly in the car, couldn't hold back anymore, lifted the curtain, and finally saw his lover whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The two didn't care where they were or who was around them, they hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces.Seeing Xue Zhaoqing couldn't help touching the tears in the corners of his eyes with a small handkerchief.

When the two of them calmed down a bit, Zhang Xuan let go of Xu Caixing, walked up to Xue Zhaoqing, and directly knelt down to Xue Zhaoqing.

"Zhaoqing, you can use tricks to get Caixing out for me. I can't repay you for my brother. Please accept my obeisance!" Xue Zhaoqing didn't dare to accept it, so she quickly helped Zhang Xuan up, and forced him to stand up.

"Brother, if you want to be so polite with me, you will be out of touch."

"Brother, after making such a trip, Caixing's father's problem will be solved, but your reputation will be damaged in the future. Brother Wei really can't bear it."

"Other people's criticism is nothing more than a false name. Zhaoqing has never cared too much about it. In the future, the eldest brother can live with his sister-in-law without any worries. Zhaoqing's trick is not in vain. It's just..." Xue Zhaoqing paused for a while, as if he was worried. There is a taboo, but after thinking about it, I still said it: "Brother, why are you dressed like this? I just saw you, and I really thought you were bandits, and these brothers." Xue Zhaoqing looked at Zhang Xuan's face behind him. A messy, shabby-clothed person with a broken knife in his hand: "These people, are...?"

"These are my fellow postmen." Zhang Xuan said, and a group of brothers behind him took off their masks one after another.

"So it's the postmen brothers, but why are you waiting here with a knife?"

"Haha, Zhaoqing, we originally said that after I took Caixing away, you went back and told the family that Caixing was taken away by bandits, but I thought about it. Although there are not many people on this small road, there are occasionally cars and roads on the road. However, if someone sees Caixing leaving with me like this, I’m afraid that you will find it difficult to explain to your family, so I simply recruited these brothers to go out and pretend to be bandits, waiting for you to come over.”

"Then this one again?" Xue Zhaoqing looked at the coachman behind Zhang Xuan suspiciously.

"I was also afraid that something might go wrong on the road, so I simply found a brother to pretend to be a coachman and protect you all the way."

It was only then that Xue Zhaoqing suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I thought Brother Yi had really formed a group of brothers to occupy the mountain and become king."

As soon as Xue Zhaoqing finished speaking, a brother behind Zhang Xuan seemed to have something to say, but Zhang Xuan abruptly stopped him with his eyes.

"Although my brother is dissatisfied with this world, he will never become a bandit."

"That's good." Seeing this foster brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time this time, Xue Zhaoqing always felt that he looked a little strange, but he was still the same person, he didn't admit his mistake, and neither did Caixing's sister-in-law. Time, birthday?

"Brother, it's getting late. I won't delay your next trip for my brother. I will remember this kindness. If I need help for my brother in the future, I will die for my brother." Zhang Xuan said, and rushed towards Xue Zhaoqing. I gave a gift.

Xu Caixing on the side also gave Xue Zhaoqing a blessing: "These days, thank you brother for taking care of me, but my sister-in-law must remind my brother that you have been teaching away from home for a long time, so naturally you will not guard against people's hearts. Although I have been in Xue's courtyard for a long time Not much, but it can be seen that the second lady is thoughtful, it would be best if she really cared about you, if not, brother, you need to be more careful, and don't be defenseless." It seems to be a woman's natural feeling Even if Xue Zhaoqing said thousands of good things about her aunt in front of her, Xu Caixing still couldn't like her, she always felt that that woman was like a poisonous snake wearing a hypocritical mask, who would rush up and bite you at some point .

"I remember what my sister-in-law said. It's getting late. My sister-in-law should hurry up and go with my elder brother. At these times, I have to wrong my sister-in-law as little as possible to go out. If someone I know recognizes me, there will be more trouble."

"Zhaoqing, don't worry!" Zhang Xuan said: "Brother, we will meet later." After finishing speaking, he took Xu Caixing with one hand, and led the brothers away.

Seeing the back of a person gradually disappearing, Xue Zhaoqing let out a sigh of relief, one matter is finally settled, and later, it will depend on how he will deal with the family.

However, to Xue Zhaoqing's surprise, the current Xue residence has already become a mess.

When Niu Geng knew that his mother had an accident, it was already noon on the second day after Xue Zhaoqing left, and he was still working hard in the field. When it was one o'clock, his mother did not come to deliver food, and he was wondering , I saw Xue Zhong running over panting.

"Niu Er, Niu Er, it's not good, something happened to your mother!"

When Niu Geng heard this, he became anxious, threw the hoe and ran back: "Uncle, what's wrong with my mother?!"

"I don't know the details. It's just that the master got angry in the front hall, and the girls and aunts in the kitchen were dragged over, as if for the sake of decocting the medicine before the old lady left."

"Decocting medicine? What does that have to do with my mother? At most, she just sorted out the herbs she caught and put them in the medicine cup. What's the problem?"

"I don't know the details. I only heard that Jin Feng, the eldest girl who was with the old lady before her death, went to the master crying and complained, saying that the death of the old lady was not God's will, it may be a man-made disaster."

"Ah?" When Niu Geng heard this, he was even more puzzled. The old lady passed away at the age of 88, and the doctor said there was no other way.

If it was someone else, he could wait for Xue Zhaoqing to come back to discuss with him, but when it was about his own mother, Niu Geng didn't have such patience, he rushed to Xue's mansion without even caring about changing his clothes.

After entering Xue's mansion, even though some servants stopped him, how could Niu Geng's tall and strong figure be stopped by a few servants? It wasn't until he arrived at the front hall of Xue's residence that the chief steward, Xue Fu, took Niu Geng away. blocked the door.

"Niu Geng! You came to the front hall of Xue's mansion recklessly, do you want to rebel?!" Xue Fu's face is like a piece of wood that has not changed all year round, no matter what the situation is, it remains unmoved .

"Senior Steward." Niu Geng didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Xue Fu, he bowed slightly, and tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart: "I heard that something happened to my mother, I was anxious, and wanted to come and have a look."

"The master is trying in the front hall. If your mother is innocent, the master will not wrong her. If she did make a mistake, if you go in to intercede now, the master will only feel disgusted. It is tantamount to fire for your mother." Add oil. You just wait here, if the master informs you, it will not be too late to go in."

Although Xue Fu's words were cold as ice, they were not without reason, and Niu Geng had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​breaking into the front hall.But the fire in his heart couldn't be suppressed, he lowered his voice and begged softly: "Housekeeper, what happened to this, my mother has always been the most conscientious, how could she be involved?"

In fact, in the final analysis, Xue Fu also watched Niu Geng grow up, not to mention that he still had some friendship with Niu Geng's dead father. Seeing that there was no one around, he just whispered to Niu Geng: "Jin Feng went to the doctor and looked at the leftover medicine dregs left by the old lady who drank the medicine a month before she left. The doctor searched carefully and found that there was a medicine called Qingdai, which had been replaced with a defective product. The first one in the family Those who touch the medicine are the people in the kitchen, so the master sent them to ask questions, but your mother has always been honest and responsible, so she should not know about the matter."

Hearing what Xue Fu said, Niu Geng felt relieved. His old lady can't even read a single character, so how could she know which of the medicinal materials she caught was which?

Deciding that this matter has nothing to do with his mother, Niu Geng heaved a sigh of relief and squatted in the corner of the entrance of the front hall, thinking that after the questioning, he would lead his mother to have a good meal so that she could be relieved by the old man. Suppression.

But before waiting for a while, I saw a woman and a few maids come out of the front hall aggressively, and hurried to the backyard. Seeing this, Niu Geng's heart that had just sunk, for some reason, hung up again .
