Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 742 Knowing the Truth
Wu Shiming has never been used to this kind of people, and he snorted again after hearing this.How dare Lord Wang offend him, with a smile on his face all the time.

In addition to the horse thieves living in the cottage, there were also dozens of looted women. These women had been raped and humiliated by the horse thieves for many years. Kowtow frequently on the ground.

Fang Jianming was previously immersed in the melancholy of Zhang San's departure. After he came back to his senses, he found that there were people standing around him. He followed Hua Tianyun to a large place in the cottage, only to hear Hua Tianyun say loudly: " You all get up."

When the women heard this, instead of daring to get up, they knocked harder.When Wu Shiming saw it, he was furious, and shouted: "Get up when I tell you to get up, and I will be rude to anyone who kowtows again."

These words are really idiomatic, and the women were frightened to stand up immediately, so they were still trembling all over their bodies.

Seeing the women being tortured like this by the horse thieves, Hua Tianyun let out a long sigh.Suddenly, six officers and soldiers came pushing six women from the stronghold, causing a commotion. The six women were all elderly aunts, one of them was wrinkled, and was at least six years old. seventy.

"We are not horse thieves. We were captured by horse thieves as servants. Why did you arrest us?" These elderly women were much more courageous than those young women.

An officer and soldier said viciously: "You are not horse thieves, why are you hiding in the stove, go, go quickly." As he said, he stretched out his hand and pushed it, just right on the old woman. The old woman's gait was still steady, but Unbearable to be pushed by a strong man, he immediately fell out, but luckily he was supported by a Beggar Sect disciple.

"You actually attacked an old man, I'll chop you." After the beggar gang disciple supported the old woman, he stepped forward to beat the officer, but the officer shrank back in fright and said, "What do you want to do?" What do you want to do? You dare to hit me, and you want to rebel?" Immediately, more than a dozen officers and soldiers around him pulled out their waist knives to prevent the Beggar Sect disciple from coming forward.

In this way, some of the beggar gang disciples could bear it, and some of the hot-tempered ones couldn't bear it, and wanted to fight with the officers and soldiers.

Seeing this, Hua Tianyun's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Do you still see the existence of me, the leader of the sect?" He naturally said this to the group of beggars.

The group of beggars heard this, knelt down on one leg, and said in unison: "Master."

Those officers and soldiers saw that Hua Tianyun had spoken, but none of them dared to say anything. Mr. Wang secretly scolded the officer and soldier who pushed people: "You will really make trouble with me, if you make these Jianghu people angry, you will fuck me into the fire pit."

After sweeping away all the horse thieves, both the officers and soldiers and the disciples of the beggar gang suffered a little damage. Although the number of officers and soldiers was more than three times that of the disciples of the gang of beggars, but if they really wanted to fight, the officers and soldiers were only one-sided.Mr. Wang was frightened by Fang Jianming last night, he was a frightened bird to the people in the martial arts, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to compete with the beggars' gang.

"You are all carefully selected disciples from all over the country. I brought you here to defend the country and to drive away the Mongols. I didn't want you to fight fiercely. Who was the first to use force just now? ?" Hua Tianyun swept his eyes and said sternly.

The Beggar Clan disciple who was going to beat the officers and soldiers came out, knelt down on one leg, and said: "This subordinate violated the gang rules and is willing to be punished."

Hua Tianyun walked up and asked in a deep voice, "Which rudder are you a disciple of?"

The Beggar Clan disciple said: "This subordinate is a disciple under the Hunan Chief Helm."

Hua Tianyun's face darkened, and he said, "Okay, you can go back wherever you came from!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was startled, that disciple turned pale, and suddenly saw an old beggar kneeling on one leg, and said: "Guild Master, the Hunan chief rudder is under the jurisdiction of this old man, if you want to punish him, then punish this old man."

Fang Jianming looked intently, and saw that this old beggar was Zha Jiyou, the leader of the Dirty Clothes Sect of the Beggar Clan.

"Elder Cha, you..."

"Guild Master, there was a clause in the clan's rules that as long as the elder is willing, he can be punished on behalf of his disciple. This disciple violated the gang's rules on the spur of the moment, and I would like to be punished on behalf of this disciple. Please allow it."

When the disciple heard this, he burst into tears and said in a trembling voice, "Elder."

Zha Jiyou shouted: "There's nothing to cry about. After I go back, I can live a few more years. You should be happy for me."

At this moment, the three elders who came with Zha Jiyou knelt down together and said: "Master, please be merciful." Afterwards, other disciples of the Beggar Clan knelt down and shouted: "Master, please be merciful."

Fang Jianming didn't quite understand the seriousness of this matter. Seeing that Wang Bin and Wu Shiming were also trying to persuade Hua Tianyun, he also went over to persuade him.

Hua Tianyun thought for a while, sighed, and said: "As the leader of the gang, I should set an example. If you commit gang rules, it means I commit gang rules. Well, starting today, within half a month, I will Self-punishment for not drinking at all, you all get up."

This kind of self-punishment, in the eyes of outsiders, would think that Hua Tianyun is a bit of a joke, but none of the beggar gang knows that the gang leader likes to drink, and the gang leader after drinking is the real "big brother of the beggar gang".

After the group of beggars got up, Hua Tianyun said: "It's not too late, I'll deal with the matter here first." After a pause, he said: "The gold and silver have been seized, a total of 250 taels, and there are good horses 7000 two horses, my beggar gang is here to eliminate harm for the people, and I will never ask for a penny, I just hope that Mr. Wang can allocate some horses to us, so that our beggar gang disciples can fight the enemy."

After hearing this, Master Wang secretly rejoiced, and said: "Master Hua, your beggar gang is going to fight for the country. Even if you take all the horses away, the subordinate officials will not dare to say a word. The chivalrous demeanor of your gang is really true. I am ashamed of the officer.”

Hua Tianyun said: "Thank you, my lord." The conversation changed, and he said, "My lord, these are hard-working women. I hope you can share some of the gold and silver with them so that they can go home."

Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, Wu Shiming stared, and said: "Mr. Wang, as an official, you should also do some good deeds for the people, shouldn't you?"

Lord Wang hurriedly said: "Your official understands." He immediately asked someone to bring a box of gold and silver, and Hua Tianyun asked all the women to take a share, and then ordered some Beggar Clan disciples to send them out of the mountain.

After finishing all this work, there were still those elderly women standing on the field, Hua Tianyun frowned and said, "Aunts, why don't you leave?"

One of the "aunties" said sadly: "We were caught by these damned horse thieves to cook for them. If we slack off, we would be beaten severely. It has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye, and we don't even remember going home. The road." Pointing to the old woman, he said: "This old lady has been captured by them in the mountains for 16 years, and she is now gray-haired. She said she wanted to go home, but she couldn't remember the way. I hope you can do it." All right, help her."

Hua Tianyun didn't need to deal with this kind of matter, but he still asked the old woman gently: "Old man, where do you live?"

The old woman said: "My family is in a village called Jixiang Village."

Hearing this, Fang Jianming's heart skipped a beat. He hurried up and said in a trembling voice, "Old man, are you from Jixiang Village? You were really captured by horse thieves 16 years ago?"

The old woman raised her head, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Yes."

Fang Jianming became excited, Hua Tianyun saw that the situation was different, and asked in a low voice: "Jianming, do you have something to ask her?"

Fang Jianming nodded, and whispered a few words in his ear, Hua Tianyun nodded, and went over to chat with Lord Wang for a while, then Lord Wang led all the officers and soldiers to escort the captives and left with gold and silver.Of course, when he left, more than 100 horses were left behind.

At this moment, Fang Jianming invited the old woman aside, let her sit on a chair he brought, and asked, "Old man, what is your name, and how long will you live this year?"

Seeing that the young man was so polite, the old woman felt no pressure at all, and said with a smile, "My husband's family name is Chen, and my surname is Zhao. They are both 73 this year."

After Fang Jianming heard this, he was both happy and sad for her. The happy thing is that she lived to be more than 70 years old and her body is still in good health. The sad thing is that she was caught in the mountains. She must have done a lot of rough work and suffered a lot. Whip.

Fang Jianming took a deep breath and said slowly: "Old man, you said you are from Jixiang Village, can you tell me something about Jixiang Village? For example, have any outsiders lived in your village? Yes." Although he really wanted to know who threw him in Jixiang Village, he was afraid of scaring the old woman surnamed Zhao, so he used this method to arouse her memories.

The old woman surnamed Zhao thought for a while, then laughed, and said: "Although I am over 70, my memory is not bad. I will tell you what you want to hear, but I will say whatever comes to mind. Don't laugh." My old man raps."

"No, just keep talking."

"When I was young, I heard the old people in the village say that our Jixiang Village is a village full of disasters, but our ancestors have not given up on it for generations. We hope that it will be like its name and be auspicious forever. Xiao One thing that impressed me the most was that year, my village partner and I found a strange man covered in blood in a nearby forest. I had never seen a man covered in injuries like him Those who survived, he was rescued by people in our village, and we all called him Uncle Weird. A few years later, he left, after all, he is not from our auspicious village..."

Fang Jianming listened patiently, and when he heard this, he secretly sighed: "It turns out that the auspicious village that Brother Li mentioned is exactly this auspicious village."

The old woman surnamed Zhao continued to talk, and when she talked about happy things, she laughed loudly, and when she talked about sad things, her face burst into sadness. Finally, she talked about what Fang Jianming was eager to know.

"...Sixteen years ago, it's really strange to say that one morning, when a woman passed by our village with a baby in her arms, she actually gave the baby to Zhou Laoshi's family."

Fang Jianming couldn't help interjecting and asked: "Old man, is that baby a boy? What does that woman look like?"

The old woman surnamed Zhao wondered: "Hey, I haven't said whether it's a boy or a girl, how do you know it's a boy baby?"

Fang Jianming tremblingly said: "Is it really a boy baby?"

The old woman surnamed Zhao nodded, and said: "It's a baby boy who likes to sleep. The girl is very beautiful, like a fairy, and she looks like she is under [-]. However, she behaves strangely and talks inconsequentially. , Some are not like a normal person. Zhou Laoshi and his wife have been married for more than ten years, and they have not had a child yet. Hearing that she is going to give a baby boy to their couple, he is very happy, and he is afraid that someone will cheat them, so he called here There were quite a few people in the village, and I was one of them at the time. The woman seemed very disturbed seeing so many people coming, and said, "This is not my child. Let whoever wants it take it." Suddenly, After turning around, she was nowhere to be seen. People in the village said that she was a fairy who came down to earth, and that the sleepy baby boy was given to Zhou Laoshi's family. Ever since Zhou Laoshi and his wife got a baby boy, they regarded him as a treasure Treat it the same way..."

Having said that, he raised his head and saw Fang Jianming weeping, he was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "You must be sad that horse thieves came not long after the baby boy arrived in our auspicious village. Alas, those damned The horse thief didn't know how many people he killed..." Suddenly, it felt wrong. How could a young man be easily told to cry by the story? Seeing that Fang Jianming's face was full of sadness, he hurriedly said: "Young man, what are you doing?" gone?"

Fang Jianming said sadly, "I am that baby boy."

"What? Are you that little doll who likes to sleep?" The old woman surnamed Zhao was startled. After a while, she looked at Fang Jianming carefully and said, "There is something like a jade pendant on that little doll. Do you have any?" Is it?" Fang Jianming was even more distressed when he heard this,
Wu Shiming met him in the distance, strode up, patted him on the shoulder, and advised: "Jianming, don't be too sad." Fang Jianming felt much better after his persuasion.

"Have you found out everything?" Wu Shiming asked.

Fang Jianming shook his head and said, "I still can't think of who is the woman who sent me to my adoptive parents."

Wu Shiming frowned, and said, "What did the old man say?" Hearing this, the old woman surnamed Zhao knew she was talking about her, and said, "You must be asking about that woman. I can't describe that woman, but she Beautiful, soft-spoken, coming and going like 'this is not my child'."

Hearing this, Wu Shiming's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked anxiously: "Old man, think again, what else did she say?"

The old woman surnamed Zhao thought for a while, "ah", and said: "I remembered, she also said such a sentence, she said, 'my poor child, who snatched you.'"

Wu Shiming's whole body trembled when he heard it, as if someone had punched him hard. Fang Jianming saw that he was acting abnormally, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Shiming, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Shiming didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he said slowly: "I see, it must be her, she must have snatched you away from Tong Wuzhou, and only she would make such a strange move." the behavior of."

Fang Jianming couldn't think of who this "she" was for a while, so he asked, "Who is it?"

A trace of grief slid across Wu Shiming's face, and he said word by word: "My mother."
