[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

The prefect of Gusu originally thought that this case was simple, and if it was tried and sentenced, it would not only add glory to himself, but also add merit to Liang Ziyuan's beloved apprentice and son-in-law Xu Zhi.What's more, he solved the case and sentenced this bastard who didn't accumulate virtue, and he also accumulated virtue for himself.But the magistrate never expected that this case was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface, and it was actually very difficult.

Wu San'er was frightened and deterred by the magistrate's overnight interrogation and torture, he completely collapsed.Such a person dares to impostor, although he is bold, but he has never suffered anything, and the pain of flesh and blood is unbearable.His trick was good. It turned out that the woman was his concubine, and the two children were kidnapped.

Moreover, he made an appointment with the water bandit who committed the crime with him at the beginning. Because the master's family is dead, they can take away the goods around them, but they cannot take away the shop and so on.These people felt that they were at a loss, so they thought of asking Wu San'er, who was familiar with the situation of the Lin family, to impersonate him, falsely claiming that he was Lin Song, and extorting money.And these water bandits took the previous money and hid in the mountains at the junction of northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong.

What is before the prefect is to close the case here, or report it...reporting means suppressing bandits, but in places like northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong, suppressing bandits is too troublesome.At this moment, the fleet of the king of Chu passed Yangzhou and went straight to Jinling. The magistrate had a flash of inspiration and decided to inform Jia Yan of the matter, just to pass it on to the king of Chu!

So, Situ Kuo just happened to catch up with this incident. After hearing Jia Yan who had read the letter, he was silent for a while, his eyes sparkling: "Or, let's take troops to suppress the bandits? Send people to investigate first. After the Jinling incident is over, and the investigation is clear, then go and suppress the bandits!"

Leading troops to fight is the dream of every passionate man, Guo Ang's eyes lit up, Jia Yan didn't speak, but Shi Guangzhu, who had actually fought a war, said: "A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, Qiye should be more cautious." , Soldiers are fierce, swords have no eyes."

It's a pity that at this time, his opinion was ignored. Situ Kuo smiled and said, "Isn't there you? Besides, after we've done the investigation, we didn't act rashly. It's a good thing to have a chance to know the soldiers." This reason It was too much, Jia Yan smiled, Shi Guangzhu was not the kind of person with a lot of tongue, and was blocked by Situ Kuo, he was at a loss, and looked at Jia Yan as if asking for help.

"It's not that I still don't know the specific situation. I'll write to the magistrate first and ask him to interrogate him. I don't hesitate to torture him to ask as many things as possible." Jia Yan said, "Well, please also ask Qi Ye to send someone who is good at martial arts and experienced. Follow back, if the prefect understands, let them go into the mountain to search immediately, and then make a decision."

Situ Kuo still had something to say, but Jia Yan said: "Qi Ye, after all, your serious mission is to watch the wind, and if you have this plan, you have to report to His Majesty in secret, otherwise the prince will not be able to mobilize the local army for no reason. The guards can't do it."

Speaking of the emperor, Situ Kuo finally calmed down. He decided to write a secret letter to his father when he went back, and he was going to suppress the bandits!

The cold wind is blowing outside, but the house is full of warmth, making people addicted to it and unwilling to go out.The maids warmed up around the fire, and Daiyu leaned on the couch to read a book with several heaters beside her.Jia Yan has become very busy these days, accompanying Situ Kuo to take advantage of the twelfth lunar month, walking around the streets and alleys, running in and out of the city.The open and unannounced visits revealed a lot of things. Daiyu was flipping through the book, but her mind was not entirely on this. She thought that Jia Yan hadn't come home for two days, so she didn't know what happened to her.

It would not be a trivial matter to delay them for such a long time. The small red clay stove next to her has been warming the pear soup, and she occasionally poured out a bowl. Although it is cold outside, the room is really comfortable.

There was a commotion outside, Daiyu propped up her body, and Jiaxuan came in with a panicked expression: "Girl, uncle brought a little girl back!"

"?" Daiyu said hello all over her face, and brought a little girl back, "Only a little girl?"

Jia Xun took a breath, only to realize that his words were ambiguous: "No, no, my uncle led the little girl, followed by a group of people and carried a person!"

"How is he?" Daiyu asked anxiously, turning over to look for shoes to put on, Xueyan also came in to help her fix the cloak, she asked as she walked, "How is the uncle?"

Before walking out of the courtyard, Jia Yan came over with a bad face, and he said: "Younian, I will leave this child to you and help take care of it. Uh, let the servant girl wash her and tidy up, she... Something happened, don't think too much, don't be afraid."

Daiyu still didn't know what happened. It seemed that the matter was urgent, so she just said, "Leave it to me." Then she saw Gao Ting, the personal eunuch of the King of Chu, with a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old. Said to the little girl: "Girl, don't be afraid, this grandma is a good person, you go with her first, change clothes, eat something, our father will do what he says, your father will definitely get better."

The little girl nodded timidly, and looked at Daiyu and the others cautiously. Daiyu personally led her back to the inner courtyard, and asked people to boil water and prepare clothes.Jia Yan and Gao Ting watched them leave before returning to the front yard together. Gao Ting said: "Joining the army, if Qiye will wait for a while... I have to ask you to persuade Qiye to restrain his anger." , also gritted his teeth and said.

Jia Yan took a deep breath, and only uttered one word: Yes.

Xueyan came out of the bath room, hurried to the main room and said to Daiyu, "Girl, that little girl has injuries all over her body, but she's been looking at it for days...it's kind of scary." Daiyu frowned, and immediately told her , Restrain the servants of the family, and don't talk nonsense.After the child took a bath, Daiyu asked people to prepare all kinds of porridge, and brought the child over herself. When she went to push the door open, the little girl seemed to be greatly frightened.

But seeing that it was the beautiful elder sister, the child relaxed and showed a cautious smile.Daiyu also smiled subconsciously, this is really a good-looking child, she said softly: "Come and have some snacks, you can eat whatever you want," she stretched out her hand, "Come here."

The child stared blankly at her outstretched hand, and for some reason she shed tears. Daiyu hurried over and hugged her shoulder softly to comfort her, and brought the child into the house. By the way, she also knew that the child's name was Da Niu.

After washing and changing clothes, and eating something, Daiyu personally sent the eldest girl to the warm pavilion in the backyard. The room was warm, and the child was light-hearted after all. Holding Daiyu's hand, she fell asleep immediately. .She asked Jia Xun to stay in the room again, and be careful not to turn off the stove. It was already evening when everything was arranged, and Daiyu returned to the main room, where Jia Yan was waiting for her.

"How is that child?" Jia Yan asked, "Did you let her sleep?" His tone was surprised, as if he had heard some anecdote.

Daiyu wondered: "What can a child have on his mind? Take a hot bath and feel comfortable, take her to eat and have snacks, and then let her go to sleep. Jiaxuan is watching over there. By the way, what is the child like?" Who is it and what happened that made you send her and a man here?"

"My daughter-in-law is really sharp," Jia Yan boasted as always, "However, you are wrong in one sentence, she is not a light-hearted child, alas."

Daiyu said angrily, "Are you praising me or hurting me? By the way, you haven't said anything yet, what happened to this child?"

Situ Kuo traveled a little far with Jia Yan, Shi Guangzhu, and Guo Ang this time. In the past two days, they left Jinling and headed north.Because Jia Yan mentioned the refugees before, Situ Kuo also had to go and have a look, ask questions, and then make a specific solution, whether to resettle them temporarily and send them back in the spring; or let the refugees disperse and become tenant farmers.

Then I met an old man with a little girl—the big girl and her grandfather.But this pair of grandparents and grandchildren were hunted down, who would hunt down such a pair of grandparents and grandchildren? The people who chased them were well-dressed and looked like slaves of a rich family.

Guo Ang was the first to notice that someone was wielding a sickle and wanted to kill someone. He yelled a reminder, and then Shi Guangzhu picked up a nearby stone and threw it at him.Then they realized that it was not a single person who wanted to commit crimes. A group of seven or eight people rushed forward, and Shi Guangzhu blocked the old man and the child behind him.

Guo Lianzhi, who took a step forward, scolded: "Who are you waiting for, dare to commit crimes in broad daylight!" Jia Yan looked at the group of people and looked at their clothes and attire. Arrests.

The slaves of the big family are just slaves, how can they be the opponents of the palace guards and serious sergeants, when the two sides make a move, the group of people are beaten one by one and then pinned to the ground.Then Jia Yan and the four of them heard a story that made people want to cry without tears.

The little girl is called Da Niu. When she was five years old, there was an epidemic in her hometown, her parents and elder brother were gone, and she was only dependent on her grandfather Wei You.The old man is famous, but at the end of his life, there is only one little granddaughter. All these years, the grandparents used to farm the land, and they can barely make ends meet.Wei You thought that in two years' time, his granddaughter would grow up, and he would find an honest and hard-working grandson-in-law nearby, and he would be at ease for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the year, the old man Wei fell ill.He was seriously ill, and the herbs that the country people often took were useless, and he needed a doctor to save his life.Miss Wei looked at her grandfather's dying state. Although she had never been out of the house, she made up her mind to go to the town with the people who went to the market in the village, hoping to ask a doctor to come back.

It was this trip that made him fall in love with a cousin of a certain family, a young man.It can't be said that I like it, but it's just that Jiahua is tired of watching and wants to have some fun.Jia Yan paused as she spoke, Daiyu already understood what had happened, she asked in a trembling voice, "She was... insulted by someone? Then the grandparent and grandson didn't report to the authorities..."

Before she finished speaking, Daiyu felt that she was ridiculous, since the other party was a son, so what if she reported to the official.She thought this was the limit of the tragedy in the world, but the world always exceeded her imagination, and this matter was known on the same day. Jiangnan village is not a place with a lot of land and few people.Lao Weiyou dragged his sick body and begged his fellow villagers to help him find his granddaughter, and a group of people found this son's Zhuangzi, and then the other party beat them down in order to preserve their son's reputation.

They said that it was Miss Wei who seduced the boy, and all the dirty water was kept on the child. In order to show that their son was the victim and their reputation was tarnished, they threw the girl out.Old Weiquan relied on his care for his granddaughter, and he held on to his breath. Things have developed to this point. Although the country people are simple, they are not stupid. The wealthy family said so, but everyone did not believe it all.

Only in this way, Da Niu became very embarrassing in the local area. What's worse, the family bribed the head of the village and the head of the village, saying that Da Niu Wei was not a chaste daughter and wanted to deal with her.Lao Wei had heard about this, and with the help of his neighbors, he took his granddaughter and fled to Jinling City. After all, it is a big place, and it is better than a small place with the law, isn't it?

And those house slaves came to arrest their grandparents and bring them back, wanting to kill them to silence them.

Daiyu pursed her lips, unable to speak for a long time, it could be seen how excited she was.At this moment, someone came outside, Jiaxun said that the girl woke up after not sleeping for a long time, and Daiyu hurriedly asked her to bring him over; while Gao Ting said outside, the king of Chu asked to join the army and Lin Yiren took the girl to the front hall , I still need to ask some questions.

Who knew, they were in the same room, before they even asked a few words, they said outside, whether Wei You was rescued or not, he was gone.The big girl was a little dazed at first, and then she let out a scream and cried. The cry was just... Guo Ang covered his face, tears fell like beads; Shi Guangzhu's cheeks tensed up, Jia Yan and Situ Kuo sighed and did not speak .

Apart from crying, there was no other sound in the room, and in the end even the crying turned into whimpering.The men still didn't speak. At this moment, the cold wind was blowing outside, as if everything was frozen. Suddenly, only a slightly choked clear female voice asked: "Mr. Chao Gongqing, cry at night until tomorrow, and cry at night until night. Can you cry Dong Zhuo to death?"

"You Nian?" Jia Yan was startled at first, and then wanted to applaud. These words were deafening.

Daiyu came out from behind the screen, and she repeated: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the Duke of the Manchu Dynasty, will cry till dawn, and cry till night tomorrow, can Dong Zhuo still cry to death?"

Situ Kuo looked around, his eyes finally fell on the thin and whimpering girl, and he said firmly, "No!"

The author has something to say:

A girl is about to become a girl.

Sister Lin: Can you cry to solve the problem, can you kill this bastard?

Jia Yan: Damn it, you're right.

King Chu: No!Cry fart, just do it!
