Red House Farm Stay

Jia Zhuo went out with Mrs. Liu, and Ban Er followed behind.During the Chinese New Year period, many shops are closed. In the past few days, they have been opened one after another, and many people have come out to buy.Mrs. Liu bought several handfuls of side dishes, and complained while digging out copper coins. They had spent money to buy side dishes in Liujia Village before, and they thought they were expensive no matter how cheap they were.Not to mention, now is the most expensive time.

Jia Zhuo and Ban'er looked at each other, smiled, and didn't try to persuade them.In fact, Mrs. Liu didn't know anything, she just wanted to chew and talk about it, just to make her feel better.

Ban'er moved closer to Jia Zhuo, and said in a low voice, "I see, I've been following."

Jia Zhuo nodded slightly, "Be careful."

"Mother, I have something else to do, you and Xiaozhuo go back first." Ban'er ran away halfway, causing Liu to complain again.

"Tell me, what's the use of raising a child? I couldn't drive you away when I was young, but I hate you when I grow up."

Jia Zhuo obediently took the basket, "Auntie, let me carry it for you."

An idler was forced into a corner by two teenagers, and Baner punched him in the abdomen. The fist that had been working in the fields all year round was so hard and fast that the idler burst into tears.

"Tell me, who told you to follow us, and what are you trying to do." Ban'er grabbed the idle man by the neck and slammed his head against the wall.

Li Hong looked at him coldly. Although he didn't make a move, he kept clapping his wrists. It was very likely that he would step forward and throw a few punches if there was any disagreement.

"I said, I said..." An idle man, who has no bones, has no choice but to tell the truth since he was caught.

After hearing this, Ban'er frowned, "You mean, Jia Qin paid you five hundred Wen a day to hire you to guard and find out my sister's whereabouts?"

The idle man nodded again and again, this master of the Jia family used to be in Jinling, but something happened to his family later, these old men lost their backing and disappeared one by one.Unexpectedly, he didn't know where he got rich, and he ran to Wannian County again and started to tremble, looking for flowers and willows all day long, making three hooks and four hooks.

Although the idle man didn't know why he was asked to follow the little girl, but those who knew his virtue would not be surprised.Ninety-nine percent of them are because of the beauty of the little girl, and they want to use some tricks.

Ban'er grabbed his ear and lowered his voice, "If you don't want to die..."

Li Hong let go of the idler at the board, and asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you afraid that he will inform you?"

"What's the benefit of telling him? This kind of person, as long as there is something to get, his parents can betray him, let alone a temporary employer."

Li Hong's eyes flickered, "You guys, how did you see that?"

"On the first night, the officers and soldiers searched and arrested, and the next day, your mother went to the kitchen to steal steamed buns. If you were a wild man, you would not be so considerate and considerate to your mother, so I guess, it must be your own father. Why? I'm really not interested in knowing whether he didn't dare to show his face because he killed someone, or because he himself is a gangster."

"I just hoped that you would leave quickly, so that our family would not be involved. Now, help us solve the trouble by the way. The money your father owes our family should be considered as a settlement. This deal is still a good deal."

Li Hong nodded mechanically, without any doubt whether this teenage boy could be the master of his own affairs.

Before the Lantern Festival, the Li family's mother and son still did not move out, which made Liu very unhappy, but it was not good to quarrel with Wang Gou'er during the New Year's Eve.Holding her breath in her heart, she gave them another three days, if they didn't move, she would drive them away.

The Lantern Festival is a day that Jia Zhuo and Qing'er have been looking forward to for a long time. The little sisters wear the same red silk jacket, one wears a white silk pleated skirt, which makes them look taller, and the other wears a multicolored brocade skirt tied at the waist. With a net tied with a wishful knot, it is lively and charming.

Ban'er took the two sisters, Li Hong took Tian's, and the five went out together.Mrs. Liu watched from behind, puzzled and said: "They don't look like people who like to watch the excitement."

Living in Wannian County for so many years, I can't get enough of the excitement, but this year I live in someone else's house, but I am interested in going out to watch the excitement, which makes Liu feel even more dissatisfied.He turned his head and stared at Wang Gou'er, "Tomorrow, no matter where it is, move it quickly."

Wang Gou'er knocked on the pipe and gave a muffled "hmm" without a single word.

Jia Zhuo led Qing'er and followed Ban'er. The mother and son of the Li family next to her were obviously absent-minded. They looked back from time to time, but they didn't know what they were looking for.

The lanterns along the street made the eyes of the two girls not enough. After a while, Qing'er and Jia Zhuo each held a lantern in their hands.When I saw someone buying snacks, I couldn't walk again.

Ban'er laughed at them, "I said don't eat at night, you are still in a hurry with me, now you understand."

"Yes, brother is right." A bowl of chicken soup vermicelli was sprinkled with a handful of chives, and the yellow soup was decorated with white powder, green and green. The fragrant Qing'er had no time to pay attention to the teasing of the elder brother.

He even drank the soup before he patted his stomach and stood up.I also wondered why others didn't eat. Jia Zhuo had something on his mind, so he held her hand, "I ate too much at night, digest after a while."

"Crossing this bridge is the busiest place." After crossing the bridge is the main street. Ban'er saw that there were people buying masks at the end of the bridge, and asked the two girls to pick them out.After a while, Li Hong nodded, smiled sternly, and turned around to help the two younger sisters pay.

As soon as Jia Zhuo put on the mask, she felt a lot of people rushing in front of the stall, separating her from Qing'er.Then there were two thick women surrounded her, one on the left and the other on the right, and shouted: "Miss, hurry up, the master has been waiting."

As he spoke, he took Jia Zhuo's arm, making her unable to move at all, almost dragging her forward.The front and back were all their people, no matter how others looked at it, they couldn't find that the girl between the two women was struggling.

"What are you doing?" Ban'er came over, broke into the siege, pushed Jia Zhuo's wife away one by one, and pulled Jia Zhuo to his back.

"Whose boy are you, get out of here." A group of vicious people surrounded them.

Qing'er screamed loudly in fright, not knowing whether she should go back and call someone, or stay here to help.By the way, Li Hong, she turned her head and saw behind the mother and son of the Li family, standing a man completely covered in black robes, with a ridiculous mask on his face.

Before she could yell out, the mother and son of the Li family turned around, followed the man in black into a carriage, and left in the opposite direction.

What happened, Qing'er was completely at a loss, but fortunately she heard Jia Zhuo's voice, "Qing'er, go and call the yamen servants who patrol the streets to rescue us."

Qing'er saw a dark red corner of his clothes, which was the clothes of the county government's patrolling yamen, and ran over crying.

In a mess, everyone said their own things, and the yamen servants took everyone to the county yamen.Jia Zhuo held Qing'er in his arms and wept uncontrollably, looking terrified, while Ban'er pointed at them and said angrily, "Obviously we saw you dealing with suspicious people and wanted to kill them."

The old woman among the group of people turned her eyes around, and said with her hands on her hips, "What nonsense are you talking about? We just misjudged the person. We thought this girl was the young lady of our family. We just recognized the wrong person. Why are you beating someone?" ?"

Ban'er looked at them contemptuously, even the yamen servant couldn't stand it any longer, "He's only a half-grown boy, how many of you are there, you'd be ashamed to say such a thing. The magistrate is coming soon, if you have something to say, leave it in front of the hall Let's talk."

The county magistrate soon arrived in front of the hall, he couldn't help being surprised, originally it was not his turn to come to the hall for such a matter, it was the young man from the Wang family who insisted that he had to report something important to the county magistrate.Hearing Ban'er's name, he remembered the relationship between the Wang family and the ninth son, so he walked out.

"What's going on, don't make any noise, tell them one by one." After slapping the gavel, the county magistrate said.

As soon as the county magistrate came, Jia Zhuo stopped crying, raised a pair of red eyes and said: "Your Excellency, the daughter of the people went out to watch the lanterns with her brothers and sisters. When they walked to the bridge, they saw one of them and a man in black robe. Whispering to each other. Minnv also heard such words as silence and internal response, so she yelled out in fear. As a result, they rushed forward as soon as the matter was revealed, and wanted to take the minnv away. Fortunately, the guards came quickly Otherwise, the women of the people would have been murdered by them long ago."

"Nonsense, how can there be such a thing, she is talking nonsense. We all admit that we have admitted the wrong person." The mother-in-law panicked and denied it.

Qing'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, silencing her or something, she really didn't dare to imagine that such a thing could have something to do with her, she was so scared that she didn't dare to speak.

"Everything I said is true. My lord, send someone to find out who they belong to. Is there a young lady who is as old as me in the family? You will know. Wait, lord, I seem to remember..." Jia Zhuo's hand slid over them one by one, pointing at this, feeling wrong, pointing at that, and finally shaking his head.

Frowning with a stuffed face, he said distressedly: "My lord, I seem to see that the man in black gave them something, but I really don't remember who it was for."

"Search." The county magistrate's eyes lit up, and he didn't know what to think of, and his expression became excited.

"We found it." Everyone was dragged down by the wolf-like guards, and after a while, someone came back with a letter and presented it to the county magistrate with both hands.

"Is this it?" The county magistrate glanced at Jia Zhuo.

"The girl really didn't see it clearly, so she vaguely saw a shadow, which seemed to be an exchange of some objects or letters." Jia Zhuo tried hard to recall for a long time, and finally only remembered these, but because he didn't remember clearly, it made people feel uncomfortable. Believe even more.

Originally, it was doubtful that a teenage girl could be organized and remember everything clearly under such circumstances.

What this letter is, no one knows, Jia Zhuo only knows that the county magistrate's lips are trembling with excitement.After leaving their addresses, they sent someone to send them back, since those women who kidnapped people were all detained in the yamen.

"What's going on here." Seeing the three children being sent back by the guards, Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she almost fainted.

"It's all right, uncle, aunt, the mother and son of the Li family are gone, and they probably won't come back." Jia Zhuo smiled slightly, and had some guesses in her heart, but she thought that there should be no chance to prove it.

"Let's go, just go, don't come back if you don't come back, who cares about it." Liu Shi was relieved when he heard that Li's mother and son had left.Although it was strange why they left at such a time without even saying hello, she was more willing to hear the news that they would never come back than to be surprised.

For several days, the Wannian county town was full of turmoil, and everyone shut their doors tightly, for fear of getting into trouble, because no one thought that in the small county town, which had always been quiet, there were actually hidden insiders of the rebels.If he didn't want to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to make trouble and be reported, and the county magistrate reacted quickly enough to take him down, I'm afraid Wannian County would have become the stronghold of rebels by now.

Wang Gou'er came back after inquiring, smoked his pipe silently, and finally called Ban'er and Jia Zhuo into the main room.

"What's going on? You guys did what happened to Jia Qin, right?" The rebel insider hiding in Wannian County was Jia Qin.

On the same day, the county magistrate read the letters found from those people. It was written by Li Yankui, the leader of the anti-thief. city.

But Jia Qin was not married at all, and there were only concubines and maidservants in the family, let alone any young ladies, which indirectly showed that Jia Zhuo's words were true, and those people just wanted to kill people to silence the news.

Although there are still some small doubts in the middle, when the big hat of the rebel is put on, who dares to ask questions, isn't he afraid of being regarded as an accomplice of the rebel?

So, he was still spending time and drinking at home, waiting for the servants to kidnap the person suspected of being Qiaojie, and if it was, he could send it to Prince Zhongshun's mansion in Jinling, and invite another reward.If not, it would be a pleasure for him to coax and trick someone into serving in his own mansion.

It never occurred to him that he waited and waited, and what he waited for was the murderous servant who rushed over.The whole house was turned upside down, and everyone was locked up and locked up in a large prison.What awaited them was endless torture and interrogation.

Jia Qin was pressed in front of the hall, her body was already bloody and bloody, crying and refusing to accept her fate, "Master Qingtian clearly sees that the villain can never be a traitor, the villain doesn't even know who is surnamed Li or Sun, The villain was wronged."

"Wronged? Li Yankui took the risk of being arrested just to come to Wannian County to wrong you?" The county magistrate was not reconciled, because the person would be handed over tomorrow.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are about to fight over this prisoner. If he can get the testimony in advance, the credit will fall firmly into his hands, and no one else can take it away.

"No, no, I, I want to see Prince Zhongshun, I want to see Prince Zhongshun." The more Jia Qin thought about it, the more flustered he became, the only thing he could hold on to now was Prince Zhongshun.He encountered this kind of thing because he was working for Prince Zhongshun. Now, only Prince Zhongshun can save him.

The county magistrate stood up, "Kang Dang" and knocked over the teacup on the table. A rebel was actually related to Prince Zhongshun. He really wished he hadn't heard this.In such a short moment, a cold sweat broke out.

Jia Qin only thought that she had made the right bet, and regretted saying it too late.Fortunately, someone mentioned Prince Zhongshun in prison today, so he realized that he still has this big backer.It's all because I was so frightened by what happened suddenly that I didn't remember it.

The county magistrate knew that this person could not stay, so he quickly ordered his teacher, "It doesn't matter who comes first tomorrow morning, hand it over immediately."

"Yes." The master cupped his hands and asked the guards to take the prisoner down.

"My lord, is it true that the Wang family will not be reported?" The master didn't understand why the lord erased the name of the Wang family from the file.

"The Wang family is just ordinary people, so why should you be frightened by this involvement?" The county magistrate shook his head, he never dreamed that all this was the result of planning by the little girl named Jia Zhuo of the Wang family.

Wang Gou'er was smoking a cigarette, and Jia Zhuo looked at the bright red fire in the small hole of the pipe, and told the story.

"How do you know that Li Zifeng is a traitor? Maybe he didn't dare to show his face because he was afraid that I would ask him for debts."

"Officers and soldiers broke into our alley in the middle of the night and searched from house to house. Such a person must be a gangster at last. Xiao Cai told us not to leave the city easily before the Chinese New Year. I think it was also because of him. The government was on guard. Why? And he's a big guy."

When Jia Zhuo made this plan, he was actually not sure who Li Zifeng was, but what is certain is that he must not be a good person.

Therefore, she and Ban'er made a plan, first find the idle man who was following her, and force him to find out who he is.Ban'er makes another deal with Li Hong, asking Li Zifeng to blame Jia Qin. As long as Li Zifeng agrees, his debts to the Wang family can be cancelled.

"What if he doesn't agree?" Wang Gou'er held the pipe and knocked on the table unconsciously.

"He will agree. After all, my uncle treated him sincerely and brought their mother and son back. I think maybe it's not because of money, but maybe because he doesn't want to hurt uncle." Jia Zhuo hesitated, but she couldn't. Definitely, I just thought that saying that would make Wang Gou'er feel better.

As expected, Wang Gou'er showed a hint of a smile, and then shook his head, "I haven't seen him for so many years, who knows what he will become, forget it, let's not mention him. You guys..."

Unsurprisingly, he reprimanded the two children and scolded, "What if Jia Qin tells about Xiao Zhuo?"

"Let's just say he got it wrong, anyway, Xiao Zhuo has an identity now." Ban'er felt a little guilty after speaking, and patted his head uneasily, he might not really bring up Xiao Zhuo's matter.

"Hmph, that's fine, I've made arrangements for this matter. Jia Qin wants to die by himself, and I'm afraid he won't live long." Wang Gou'er used his familiar old face in the county government to invite a few servants to drink and thank them Saved my own child.

He found a way to enter the cell, and casually mentioned Prince Zhongshun for Jia Qin to hear.If he doesn't mention it, it's fine. The more he mentions Prince Zhongshun, the sooner he will die.When a person dies, he is still afraid of getting involved.

"Thank you, Uncle." Jia Zhuo smiled embarrassedly, "I think, anyway, if we don't make a move, he will definitely make a move. It's better to preemptively strike, at least he won't be passive."

"It's all right, it's just..."

"In the future, if something like this happens again, I will definitely discuss it with my uncle in advance." Jia Zhuo hurriedly promised.

And next time!Wang Gou'er shook his head helplessly, and went out with his hands behind his back.Only Jia Zhuo and Ban'er were left smiling at each other, and then saw Qing'er's head protruding from the door.

"Sister." Qing'er hugged Jia Zhuo, "They are all big villains."

"Yes, so we took care of it." Jia Zhuo patted her on the back.

Jia Qin died suddenly while being escorted from Wannian County to Jinling.Dali Temple and Wannian County quarreled bitterly. Wannian County insisted that the handover documents were intact, and that the prisoner was fine when he was handed over to Dali Temple officials.

The officials of Dali Temple looked innocent, it was only a few hours' journey from Wannian County to Jinling City.If the prisoner wasn't about to die in the first place, how could he suddenly die within a few hours.They didn't torture him halfway, let alone abuse him and deny him food and drink.

The county magistrate returned to the back house exhausted, took the tea cup his wife handed him, took a sip, and suddenly said, "Why did you send someone to Jinling yesterday? Is there anything you need to do?"

"Master, it's true, women have to worry about buying something." After speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, with a shy smile on her face.

"Really? I thought Madam had some important things to do. It seems that I was worrying too much." After drinking tea, the county magistrate sniffed and asked, "Why is there an extra scent? Where did it come from?"

"Didn't you just buy it yesterday." Madam brought her face closer to the county magistrate, letting him smell the fragrance of her face.

"Cha family, did you choose Prince Zhongshun?" The county magistrate's finger slid across the smooth cheek of the lady, like a spring thunder, exploding in the lady's ear.

Seeing his wife's panicked appearance, the county magistrate had no doubts.

Holding his wife's white catkin, the county magistrate tightened his grip.Madam frowned first and remained silent, but she couldn't help but sternly said: "Qin Luming, do you know what you are doing?"

"Zha Wanru, do you know what you are doing? Marry a chicken like a chicken, marry a dog like a dog. Although I, Qin Luming, am just a poor man, I will never be anyone's puppet."

"Puppet? Why didn't you say you were a puppet when you accepted funding from the Cha family? Why didn't you say you were a puppet when you accepted the money from the Cha family to go to Beijing? When you accepted that the daughter of the Cha family relied on the dowry from the Cha family to support her family , why don’t you say that you are a puppet? Now you suddenly stop being a puppet, I think you are ungrateful.”

Zha Wanru, the fifth young lady of the Cha family, was raised in the aunt's room even though she was a concubine.When she got angry, she couldn't hold back her own temper either.

"Your Cha family has always been at odds with Prince Zhongshun. Why?" If County Magistrate Qin hadn't figured it out, the interrogation yesterday was a private interrogation. Except for the master and his wife, no one knew that the prisoner had mentioned Prince Zhongshun.

And the master is a distant relative of the county magistrate, and the whole family's life depends on Qin Luming, so they dare not betray him.Only Madam, who sent people to Jinling City yesterday.

"We didn't choose Prince Zhongshun, but the Eldest Prince. The Cha family didn't say anything about Prince Zhongshun." Cha Wanru withdrew her hand and looked at her husband, Qin Luming, coldly.
