The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2267

[Chapter 2267 Yuxi Fanwai (16)]

The leader of the guard, Lin Kuo, brought back a middle-aged woman, five children, and six men who were tied up.

The middle-aged woman had blue nose and swollen eyes, her clothes were disheveled, and the five children had wounds on their faces and hands.

Qi You glanced at him, his face was a little cold, and he asked, “What’s going on?” There is no way to kill anyone under the blue sky and daylight.

Lin Kuo pointed to the people who were tied into dumplings and said, “They said they were looking for these people to ask for debts.”

Qiyou laughed a little: “The bad gambling owes a huge gambling debt, and I have no money to repay it, which implicates my wife and children.” How many people have ruined their families because of bad gambling.

The middle-aged woman shouted loudly: “No, my boss doesn’t gamble. It was they who set up a game to harm my boss and made him owe a huge amount of money.”

Among the bound people, the slender and shrewd man named Hou Liu said with a grim look: “Who designed him? It was obviously Old Man Ma who was greedy and wanted to win my money, but he lost the red. Don’t give up.”

I don’t know where the evil spirits came from, and one person knocked all six of them down and tied them up. Even if they reveal their identity threats, the other party turns a deaf ear.

Having been on the Tao for so many years, how could Hou Liu not know that the identity of the person they met this time is not simple. I just don’t know if the boss can save them this time.

The middle-aged woman said angrily: “The most I do is play chess with people on the street, but the lottery has never exceeded 5 pennies.” Chess will also set lottery tokens, but there are usually a few pennies next to the street. This can only be considered entertainment, not gambling.

Qiyou didn’t expect that he guessed wrong, but he still asked: “Set up a bureau to harm your husband? What is the purpose?” There must be a plan to set up a bureau to harm others. Look at the clothes of this big family, it is not a wealthy family.

The middle-aged woman hesitated.

Qiyou sneered: “Don’t talk about it, I’m too lazy to take care of this business!”

At this time, the dark-faced girl in gray clothes said to Qiyou, “Their purpose is me.”

When the girl spoke, Qiyou was a little surprised. The girl’s voice was very nice, like a nightingale bird.

Qiyou looked at the girl and saw that her face was black and white like a cat. Immediately, he ordered: “Come here, give her some water.” I didn’t pay attention to it just now, but now I can see what kind of dirty things this girl has painted on it.

The female guard quickly brought the water over.

The girl washed her face and revealed her true face. He has an oval face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, snow-white skin, and a slender figure. He looks good, and if he has such a pleasant voice, no wonder he will be seen by others.

Qiyou smiled and said, “Girl, if you are willing to follow me, I can help you pay off your debts.”

When Qi Xuan heard this, he looked at Qi You in a puzzled way, and he didn’t know what was going on. Although this girl is good-looking, their family can easily catch a lot of them.

When the girl heard the translation of the entourage beside Qiyou, she instantly turned pale.

But the middle-aged woman heard this, but hugged her tightly and said, “I can’t agree, even if my mother dies, I can’t let you be a concubine.”

The youngest of those children said directly to Qiyou, “Bad guy, big bad guy.” Originally, this person saved them, and he was very grateful. Unexpectedly, these people also have bad intentions.

Qiyou asked his entourage, “What did he say?”

The entourage translated: “He said that you are a big villain, master, taking advantage of people’s danger.”

Qiyou laughed dumbly.

The girl hugged the woman and cried bitterly, crying and saying, “Mother, my daughter follows this master, and our whole family can find a way to survive. But if it falls into the hands of Dai Yanwang, our whole family will die. I don’t want to die. , but you can’t implicate Adi and the others.” This disaster was brought to her family by her, so let her solve it.

Seeing that Qiyou rescued their group, the girl felt that Qiyou at least had a good heart. No matter what, it is better than being a concubine to King Dai Yan.

The middle-aged woman cried loudly: “My son, my son!” This was literally digging her heart.

Hearing the heart-wrenching cry, Oak-hee couldn’t help opening the curtain and walked down.

Qiyou walked over to help her, and said, “Mother, why did you come down? It’s windy here, you better go back to the carriage!”

Yuxi said angrily: “If I don’t come down, you still have to scare people to death? I said that it’s fine for you to be sloppy and funny. They are in trouble now, so you have the nerve to tease them.”

Qiyou was actually trying to test the family to see if it was worth their help.

At this moment, the tallest boy among the children knelt in front of Yuxi: “Madam, please buy me! I am strong and can do a lot of work. Just please don’t let my eldest sister be his concubine. That’s it.” This concubine can be bought, sold, beaten and scolded at will, eldest sister will have no chance of being a concubine.

Seeing this, the three children below knelt down in a row, scrambling to hope that Oak-hee would buy them and spare their elder sister.

Yuxi nodded slightly, this family is good.

Walking in front of the mother and daughter, Yuxi said to the woman, “Don’t take what he said just now, we won’t make your girl a concubine.”

The middle-aged woman was ecstatic, and then she asked in disbelief, “Really?”

Yuxi smiled and nodded, “I’m his mother, and he wouldn’t dare not listen to my words.”

Qiyou couldn’t help touching his nose, and then said, “I was just joking, who would have thought you would take it seriously.” It can be seen that this mother really cares for the child. Of course, these children are also very good characters. What kind of people, what kind of children. If the male owner was really a bad gambler, the children would not be so simple and well-behaved.

Yuxi smiled and said, “He doesn’t usually do anything right, and his mouth doesn’t close the door. Don’t mind. This wilderness is not a place to talk. Let’s find a place to stay first.”

Seeing a few people hesitate, Yuxi said, “Don’t worry, with us here, no one dares to do anything to you.”

Thinking that the man just now had a one-to-six fight and beat six adult men to such an extent that they couldn’t fight back, the woman finally nodded. In fact, she had no choice but to follow Oak-hee and the others.

Oak-hee asked the woman to take the child with her into the carriage, but the woman was reluctant to say that they could go by themselves. Seeing this, Oak-hee didn’t force it.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, I saw a village. Qiyou and the leader of the guard entered the village and came back after a while: “Mother, a family in the village moved to the county town not long ago, and the house happened to be vacant.” The family who moved away was the brother of the chief. Qiyou rented the house at a price that the mayor couldn’t refuse.

The house is a large brick building with a total of six rooms. Twenty or so people can squeeze in, and they can live there.

Yuxi sat on the kang and asked the woman, “What’s your name? What do you do at home?”

It is also necessary to carry a translator with you, otherwise it will be difficult to communicate with the language barrier.

After some conversation, Oak-hee learned that the woman’s surname was Jane, and she had been married to her husband Ma Zhu for 18 years. He had three daughters and five sons, two daughters and one son died, and now there is one daughter and four sons left.

Ma Zhu has 20 acres of fertile land in his hometown in the countryside, and he himself works as a cashier in a restaurant in the county town. And Jane’s embroidery skills are good, and she does some embroidery work on weekdays to supplement her family. So although there are many children, life can be lived.

The eldest daughter, Manniang, is 16 years old this year, and she was already engaged at the beginning of last year. It’s strange to say that the Ma family looks very ordinary, but Manniang is slim and graceful. Both husband and wife are people who love their children, and they never thought of exchanging their daughter for wealth.

Because Manniang was good-looking, Jane didn’t dare to let her go out on weekdays. However, a month ago when Jane was not feeling well, Manniang handed over the embroidery to the shop for her. Just once, I met Dai Yanwang.

Seeing Manniang, Dai Yanwang’s eyes lit up. With the shopkeeper’s reminder, Manniang ran away from the back door. Otherwise, he would have been snatched back to the mansion by King Dai Yan. However, Dai Yanwang still found out her identity, and then sent someone to the Ma family to say that Namaniang was his concubine. How could the husband and wife be willing to say that Manniang was already engaged. Unexpectedly, the Liu family came to the house the next day to withdraw from the marriage.

How could the Ma family be willing to make their daughter a concubine, let alone a wicked person like Dai Yanwang. The daughter really made him a concubine, there is no way to survive. As a result, no one expected that this black heart would set up a situation for Ma Zhu, making Ma Zhu owe a huge sum of five hundred taels of silver. Even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they can’t afford it.

When Yuxi heard this, he asked, “Dai Yanwang? Why did you choose such a nickname?”

Mrs Jian wiped away tears and said, “Because this man is ruthless and does not recognize his six relatives. As for the casino he opened, I don’t know how many people have been ruined over the years. Therefore, everyone calls him the King of Hell behind the scenes.” .

Qiyou is disdainful. Such a local ruffian is also worthy of being called the King of Hell. It really lowered the grade of the Lord of Hell.

Yu Xi said with a cold face, “What about the magistrate and the county magistrate of your Gucheng County? Are they all decorations?”

Mrs Jian smiled bitterly and said, “Dai Yan’s younger sister is the wife of the county magistrate.” With the county magistrate protecting him, no one dared to touch him.

“Where’s the county magistrate? Why doesn’t he care?” The county magistrates are generally held by local people, so there is a saying that the county magistrate’s history is a local snake. But the county magistrate was not, because the imperial court stipulated that officials above the seventh rank could not serve in their hometown.

This Jane is not clear. After all, she is just an ordinary peasant woman and doesn’t pay much attention to these things. It is also because of Dai Yan Wang’s famous reputation that everyone discussed a few sentences in private, so they only knew something.

Needless to say, Oak Xi also knew that the county magistrate must have colluded with the county magistrate: “Where’s your husband?”

Speaking of her husband Ma Zhu, Jane couldn’t help crying again: “I was in charge and let us escape through the back door. He went to the front to block it, and now I don’t know if we are alive or dead.”

Seeing that she was about to collapse, Yuxi hurriedly asked Bingmei to take her down to rest.

Qiyou said to Yuxi, “Mother, let’s send someone to the county seat first to find out what’s going on in the county seat.” He was just a local ruffian, and he could kill him with a single twist. Therefore, Qiyou didn’t take the other party seriously at all.

Oak-hee didn’t object.

After Qiyou went out, Yuxi said to Bingxue, “grinding.”

Handing the written letter to Yu Zhi, Oak Xi said, “Quickly go and get back.”

In the evening, Qiyou did not see Yu Zhi. Don’t ask, I know that his mother must have sent Yu Zhi to the county seat: “Mother, don’t worry about this, I can handle it.”

Yuxi didn’t answer this, but said, “The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will make moon cakes tomorrow.” How could the Mid-Autumn Festival be without moon cakes!

“Mother, do you know how to make moon cakes?” He had never seen Oak Xi make moon cakes since he was a child.

Yuxi smiled and said, “No. However, you can learn from Master Yu!” Master Yu was the royal chef who followed them.

Qiyou smiled and said, “It’s good that my mother is happy.” No matter how bad it is, he will have to eat one for face the day after.

That night, the guard who went to Gucheng County to inquire about the news came back.

Lin Kuo said, “The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, this horse column was beaten to death by Dai Yan Wang’s men. The neighbors were afraid of offending Dai Yan Wang, and no one dared to collect his body.”

After a pause, Lin Kuo said: “The Empress Dowager, Dai Yan has taken eighteen concubines. Most of these concubines were stolen by him. These are still alive, and they are unwilling to be his concubines and seek death. There are only three people who have inquired about it.” The crimes committed by King Dai Yan are too numerous to describe.

Yuxi’s face was frosty, and he said, “Where’s the magistrate of Gucheng County? Just let something like this forcibly steal the lives of a woman’s life run rampant in the county and harm the people?”

Lin Kuo said softly: “The county magistrate’s surname is Lin, and he feels that he has no talent. He spends his days reciting poetry and painting and doing nothing. The government affairs of Gucheng County are all handed over to the county magistrate. The magistrate is especially afraid of his wife, so he wears the king of hell in Gucheng. The cities and counties do whatever they want and no one dares to control them.”

Yuxi had not been angry for a long time, but this time he made an exception: “Where is the prefect of Xiangyang? Are they all dead?” Gucheng County is not far from the prefecture, a three-day journey. She couldn’t believe it, there was no wind in the state capital.

Lin Kuo shook his head and said, “This subordinate doesn’t know.”

Qiyou said: “Mother, it seems that the prefect of Xiangyang is either getting the benefits of the same thing, or following the county magistrate of Gucheng County.” make.

Yuxi said with a cold face, “How did such a person become an official?” Although the county magistrate was not big, he was also one of the parents. The county magistrate does not act, and the people of a county suffer. Today, Gucheng County is the best example.

No one can answer this question.

Qiyou was also very angry, this Dai Yan Wang was really daring: “Mother, we will go to the county town tomorrow and bring this bastard to justice.”

Oak-hee shook his head. There is a saying that the strong dragon can’t hold back the local snake, and he has nothing to rush into the county seat, maybe he will suffer. Her old bones can’t stand the toss: “Everyone is tired after traveling such a long way. It’s not too late to enter the county after taking a two-day rest.”

Qiyou did not object. Anyway, this group of people can’t escape, it’s not too late to clean up two days later.

Oak-hee got up and punched the next day.

Mrs. Jian wanted to go forward, but was stopped by the guard: “If you have anything to say, wait for my old lady to finish punching.”

Taking advantage of Yuxi’s time to wipe off her sweat, Jane said, “Old Madam, I want to go back to the county seat to find me in charge.”

Oak Xi saw that her eyes were bloodshot, and knew that she hadn’t slept all night: “The horse column is gone. My guard bought him a thin coffin to restrain the body, and asked your neighbor to help find a place to place it. .” Of course, the other party did not help in vain, and the guard gave five taels of silver.

When Jane heard this, she fainted.
