A knife in love

Chapter 2054
The man in black was frightened at first, and his voice trembled when he spoke, but when he mentioned the trouble with the fox fairy, he was not as frightened as before, and his voice became much more relaxed.When he mentioned that the government offered a reward of 500 taels of silver, greedy eyes appeared in his eyes, as if he even forgot the sharp sword on his throat.

Although Wang Xiaoyu is afraid of ghosts, he is most interested in weird things.Hearing the black-robed man say that there are fox fairies in the magistrate's yamen, she thought to herself, when I was in Wangjiazhuang, I often heard all kinds of strange things caused by foxes, but these foxes have never been to Wangjiazhuang, they are all in some remote villages. The villages pretend to be gods and ghosts, and tease the people.The common people were so troubled by these foxes that they had no choice but to burn incense and bow down, calling these foxes great immortals.Although all the bastards I met today are not good people, but judging from their appearance, they are all extremely greedy people, so they came here to mess around for 500 taels of silver, so this bastard is probably not lying to me.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu sneered, staring at the black-robed man and said: "With your three-legged feat, you want to catch the Great Immortal Fox to receive the reward? What a joke!"

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he raised his head to the sky and laughed.The black-robed man looked embarrassed, and said in a trembling voice: "Auntie is right. It's a villain's wishful thinking and overreaching. Your old man doesn't care about the villain, and the prime minister can pull a boat in his belly. Please, grandma, just take, put the little one Let me go. After the villain goes back, he must put the aunt's longevity tablet at home, and burn incense every day to pray for the aunt..."

Before the black-robed man finished speaking, Wang Xiaoyu spat at him, and said aggressively: "My aunt is not dead yet, you want to enshrine my aunt's tablet, are you trying to curse me to death?!"

The man in black was startled, and wanted to shake his head to deny it, but the tip of the long sword in Wang Xiaoyu's hand was on his throat, making him dare not move.I saw his face contorted, his eyes terrified, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and finally he said in a trembling voice: "Gu, aunt, just spare the life of the villain."

The right leg of the man in black was severed by Wang Xiaoyu's knee, and he was seriously injured. He just endured the severe pain to talk to Wang Xiaoyu.At this time, his wound was bleeding profusely, his face had turned pale, he was trembling uncontrollably, and he might faint at any moment.Although Wang Xiaoyu made up his mind to kill the black-robed man, there were still many things he didn't know that he didn't ask, so naturally he couldn't just let him die.So seeing the man in black robe like this, Wang Xiaoyu withdrew his long sword and said, "Climb up."

The man in black thanked him repeatedly as if he had been pardoned, then grabbed the edge of the pit with both hands, and climbed out of the pit with all his strength.After he climbed to the ground, he immediately lay down on the ground and stood up his broken right leg, so that the bleeding from the wound became less.Seeing that the black-robed man knew how to stop the blood, Wang Xiaoyu was a little surprised. He immediately grinned and said, "You bastard is quite capable, no wonder you can live a little longer than those idiots." .”

The man in black was so painful that he almost passed out, and he even scolded Wang Xiaoyu's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.It's just that his life was in Wang Xiaoyu's hands, so he didn't dare to show any disrespect on his face.After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, the man in black said with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, it's thanks to my aunt that the villain can live longer."

Wang Xiaoyu sneered, and said in his mouth: "What kind of bastard do you have that you dare to come here to catch foxes? I want you to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly. If you hide anything, my aunt will let you lie down." Shed blood here and turned into a zombie. So when you speak, you have to think about it, don't let your aunt find out your flaws, or your end will be worse than those five guys in the pit!"

Hearing Wang Xiaoyu's threat to him, the man in black trembled in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, the villain will never dare to hide it, and must tell the truth to my aunt."

It turned out that the man in black was named Zhou Ziming, and he was from Wangqi County, Dongyang Prefecture.This person had been a high official in his ancestors, but it was only passed down to Zhou Ziming's generation, and his family has already declined.However, relying on the ancestral shadow, the imperial court will also distribute 130 taels of silver to the Zhou family every year to honor the meritorious officials.Zhou Ziming was naughty since he was a child, and he was born with strength and strength, so no one dared to provoke him.After his parents died, no one restrained him, and Zhou Ziming ran amuck in the county town, which made many merchants and common people fear him.Seeing that Zhou Ziming was fierce and the people were afraid of him, many local ruffians also attached to Zhou Ziming to do evil together.The five men in Tsing Yi who died in the pit were all idlers and rascals in Wangqi County. After being cast under Zhou Ziming's men, they acted as Zhou Ziming's thugs and did many bad things together.

It's just that although Zhou Ziming is domineering in Wangqi County, he is illiterate, just a rough man, and the yamen and the big families in the city look down on him.Moreover, the Zhou family has already fallen. Although Zhou Ziming extorts money from businesses and people in and out of the city, more than half of the money he gets will be given to the county magistrate and the masters and arresters in the yamen, otherwise he would have been arrested long ago. Go to prison for questioning.Therefore, although Zhou Ziming showed his power in front of the common people, he actually didn't have much money in his hands.Later, he was involved in another life lawsuit. In order to avoid being imprisoned, he had no choice but to transfer the house passed down from the ancestors of the Zhou family to Master Liang of the yamen, and thus escaped.

Although Zhou Ziming broke his fortune to avoid disaster, he did not go to prison to eat in the end, but he lost his house, which made Zhou Ziming extremely depressed.Although he forcibly occupied a guest room in the Cheng family's old store in Wangqi Town, and had no worries about food and clothing every day, his momentum was not as good as before.Many merchants and common people are not as afraid of him as before. When Zhou Ziming took local ruffians to extort money, he was often rejected by people.Zhou Ziming knew that the situation was not good, but he was a rough man, and he couldn't think of any other way, so he could only lead a few of his men around to fight the autumn wind, eat the king's meal, and make a living by cheating and abducting.

As the saying goes, there is no unparalleled road, and when Zhou Ziming was in distress, an unexpected event brought him good luck.But it is said that there is a big family named Li in Wangqi County, who has accumulated ten thousand yuan of wealth.It's just that Mr. Li only gave birth to one daughter, but this daughter is fat and ugly.At the beginning, Mr. Li wanted to get married with the right family, but the rich families in and outside the city knew that Miss Li was ugly and had a bad temper, so they didn't want to marry the Li family.Later, when his daughter got older, Mr. Li had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​marrying his daughter to a rich family. He wanted to find an honest son-in-law to be his son-in-law.But in the world, no decent man is willing to abandon his ancestors and marry into Li's family.Although there are some treacherous people who recommend themselves or ask people to come to ask for relatives, Mr. Li is not a fool. He knows that these people are thinking about his family property, and recruiting them into the house is tantamount to leading a wolf into the house.So after years of tossing around, I couldn't find a suitable son-in-law.
