Competing

Chapter 10
For a long time, Yin Xu wondered that he had killed twenty officers and soldiers, but there was no movement from the government.In fact, this has something to do with Mr. Jiang who sent people to pick Ganoderma lucidum.

The incident was related to his use of corvee in private, if it was exposed, it would be very detrimental to his official career.Therefore, it was claimed that there were bandits fleeing, and the supervisor He Kun led his men to chase them, and a fight broke out between the two sides, causing a forest fire.All the bandits were killed, and [-] soldiers including He Kun died in the line of duty.

In this way, it is only necessary to send a sum of pension to He Kun's family, and then go to Wenfanyi to arrest the family members of the bandit leader Donglai.Chen Kui, the captain of Fanyi County, received an official letter and came to Xiangxi Town to track down the family of the bandit leader Yin Xu, so the Wu family got the news.

Wu Zhong was terrified and terrified. The civilian husbands under his rule defected, and many soldiers died in the line of duty. This crime of poor governance made him anxious for a long time.

When Mrs. Ma heard that her cousin had been killed, she burst out in grief.He was just asking his cousin for a favor, never thought that Yin Xu died, and He Kun died too, and she felt very guilty about it.But then this guilt was consciously avoided and transformed into deformed hatred.

Chen Kui visited and found that Donglai was a polished commander with no relatives or reasons.He just left Xiangxi Town in resentment and replied to the official letter to Mr. Jiang in Kuaiji.Only then did Wu Zhong heave a sigh of relief, and he was too busy with the autumn harvest and taxes for several days.

Early in the morning, Wu Zhong went out, and Wu Youcai sneaked into Ma's room.

Looking at Ma Shi with a raised face, he asked, "What's the matter? Who made you angry."

Mrs. Ma snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "Who else, that little thief hurt my cousin, went back to her mother's house the day before yesterday to visit her relatives, and saw my aunt was very sad, this tone is really hard to swallow."

Wu Youcai resentfully said: "He has already been killed, there is no place to seek revenge for this!"

"If you want revenge, you don't necessarily have to find him himself?" Seeing Wu Youcai's curious eyes, Ma said with a chuckle, "Tell me, in this world, besides yourself, who else does that little thief care about most?"

Wu Youcai's heart skipped a beat, and he whispered, "Yu Niang?"

Mrs. Ma gave Wu Youcai a blank look, and said sarcastically, "Oh! It's so affectionate, I like it when a girl saves Ming!"

Wu Youcai was in a hurry, if the tigress became jealous, what would happen?Hastily said: "No, no."

Hehe, Mrs. Ma smiled seductively: "My good-for-nothing master, just tell me if you like someone! I'm planning to propose marriage to you!"

"Ah?" Wu Youcai didn't know whether it was surprise or surprise.

"If that little thief finds out underground that the daughter he cares about the most has married someone else, will he feel heartbroken? Haha!" Ma Shi's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly: "Bring that chick back, just follow your Wish? As a mother-in-law, I will definitely train my daughter-in-law well. You saw that day, the two of them were affectionate and passionate, torturing her is torturing the little thief, making the little thief heartbroken, and letting him know what will happen if he offends his wife. "

Wu Youcai was very anxious, he didn't agree with being angry with a dead person, he only said... Li Yuniang is pretty and lovely, it would be nice if he could marry her and take home a taste of it.It's just that Ma Shi's thoughts made him feel a little cruel.

Without waiting for him to think about it, Mrs. Ma said in a deep voice: "Why? I can't bear it? If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be able to eat it no matter how greedy you are. Now I'm giving you a beautiful girl, do you want to be with you? Don't push my old lady into a hurry."

Wu Youcai was submissive, and under Ma Shi's obscenity, he nodded blankly.Mrs. Ma laughed, extremely dissolute, hugged Wu Youcai in his arms, and said coquettishly: "This is my good son." While speaking, he had already stretched out his hand to undress, and Ma's debauched moans resounded all over the room for a while .

————————————————————

At the Xiangxi Inn, Yuniang's father, Li Liezi, is busy, and Mrs. Ma comes to the door.If there is nothing to do, he will go to the Three Treasures Hall, so what is he doing here?Lame Li felt bad, and welcomed Mrs. Ting Zhang into the hall with a smile all over his face.

"Hey, why didn't you see Yuniang?" As soon as he was seated, Ma asked without waiting for Lame Li to speak.

Lame Li's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile, "Yu Niang went to do needlework with Aunt Hong."

"Yu Niang is such a good boy, sensible, well-behaved, and beautiful." The more Mrs. Ma praised, the more nervous Li Liezi became, especially when Mrs. Ma said: "Yu Niang is not young, has Boss Li ever Have you considered Yuniang's destination?"

Click!Li Liezi's heart was fluctuating suddenly, and he smiled wryly: "My daughter is young, she is not yet sensible, we should wait another two years for the marriage, and spend a few more days with my lonely old man."

"Really?" Mrs. Ma was surprised: "How did I hear that Boss Li asked someone to find a husband's house for Yuniang in Fanyi?"

"This...uh..." Li Liezi was very helpless and didn't know how to answer.

"Hehe! Haha!" Ma said with a loud laugh, "It's better for this daughter to marry closer, and to be by my side, so I can have someone to take care of me."

"Hehe...this..."

Ma said: "Yesterday, the head of the pavilion told me that Youcai has reached the age of marriage. The head of the pavilion has taken a fancy to a girl from Donghu Town, but Youcai is unwilling to live or die. Only after asking, I found out that Youcai has been in my family for a long time. The sweetheart is your Yuniang."

"Yu Niang was brought up by us, so we don't have to say anything about her character and appearance. The head of the pavilion also agreed very much, and urged me to propose marriage early in the morning."

Wu Youcai wants to marry Yuniang?Li Liezi's scalp became hairy when he heard it. Who knows what Wu Youcai is?Marrying his daughter to him was pushing her into the fire pit.But the Wu family can't offend at will, so they had to smile wryly: "Mrs. Meng thinks highly of it, but my Yuniang is still young and ignorant. Besides, I come from a businessman with a low status. How can I be worthy of a talented young master?" .”

"Hey! From what you said, why should Boss Li be too modest?"

"Where, where, this..."

Before Lame Li could speak, Mrs. Ma said first: "Boss Li, don't worry, after Yuniang passes through the door, someone will take care of you and take care of you until the end of your life."

Mashi took the initiative everywhere and gagged his mouth, while Li Liezi was obedient and didn't know how to respond.

Looking at Li Lie who was stuttering, Mrs. Ma secretly laughed in his heart, lowered his face calmly, and said, "Could it be that Boss Li looks down on our Wu family?"

Li Liezi was shocked and said: "No, no, how could it be?"

"Why is that?" Mrs. Ma pretended to question, hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that Boss Li is still thinking about finding that little thief who conspired against the rebellion as his son-in-law? By the way, Donglai intends to escape from the Chidao construction site. Has been killed by the officers and soldiers."

"Ah? Donglai is dead?" Li Lie's body shook, and the uh teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, shattered all over the floor.

"That's right, you know that the government has a law of consecutive sittings. If Boss Li has any bad intentions. If the adults in the county government know about it, I'm afraid...haha!" Mrs. Ma laughed and said: "Boss Li thinks about it carefully." Let me come to visit again tomorrow, I will go back to the mansion first and wait for the good news." After speaking, he turned around and walked away, leaving Li Liezi stunned in place alone, at a loss for what to do.

Dong Lai became a fugitive?was killed?It took Li Liezi a long time to accept this fact.He knew everything about his daughter and Dong Lai, but he didn't approve of it.A poor kid from the east, with no skills, how can he take good care of his daughter for the rest of his life in this chaotic world where he lives endlessly?
He originally wanted to find a well-to-do family for his daughter in Fanyi City, but Yu Niang was not willing at all.A few days ago, when he heard that Donglai had been beaten to death, Yuniang ran over regardless of the heavy rain, crying heartbreakingly, and he knew that his daughter was possessed by a demon and could never get better.

Later, I heard that Donglai was blessed by the Goddess, and his skills improved. Li Liezi secretly rejoiced when he heard it. If this is the case, it would be good to recruit Donglai as his son-in-law.I never thought that Donglai would die like this, let alone!No matter!It's just that the Wu family's forced marriage... After a long time, her body suddenly twitched, and she thought to herself: For the current plan, this is the only way to go.

Today, the Xiangxi Inn closed before noon, and everyone saw Li Liezi's drowsy look, and guessed that he might be sick.In the Wu residence, Mrs. Ma laughed triumphantly when she heard about it, Li Liezi was too useless.

As soon as Yu Niang came home, she found something unusual. Not only was her father not doing business, but he was packing things instead.

"Father, what are you doing?"

Lame Li pulled his daughter to his side, lowered his voice and told the truth.As for Donglai's murder, he didn't say a word. He must not let his daughter know at this time. He didn't want to see her sad.

"But I promised Brother Donglai that I will wait for him to come back!"

Hearing this, Li Liezi was heartbroken, collected his mind, and said calmly: "I'll talk about this later, we can't offend the Wu family, so let's avoid it for now."

"But……"

"Okay!" Lame Li said with a helpless face, "I can't control that much now, we have to leave Xiangxi Town overnight."

Although Li Yuniang was thinking about it, she didn't know what Wu Youcai's proposal meant, and silently asked her father to pack some soft things.

When night fell, Li Liezi walked quietly out of the town with his daughter.Walking out of the town, Li Liezi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, took a last look at Xiangxi Town, where he had lived for decades, and had no choice but to leave his hometown

Lame Li's father and daughter quietly walked out of Xiangxi Town and passed by the Goddess Temple. Yuniang couldn't help crying. She promised Brother Donglai to wait for him to come back.Brother Donglai also promised that he would definitely come back.But now?I had no choice but to leave. If he couldn't find me when he came back, would he be anxious?
Brother Donglai, where are you?

Standing in front of the Goddess Temple, Yuniang suddenly felt reluctant.

"Yu Niang, let's go! There is no room for delay!" Lame Li's voice was so severe that this Yuniang had to wipe away his tears and move on.

However, if you want to go, you can't go.

"stop!"

"Seize the rebel party!" Shouts sounded from behind, a fire dragon came in a hurry, Wu Youcai and his servants chased after him.Under the light of the torch, his lustful and complacent smile can be seen vaguely.

"What? Boss Li, are you going to run away? Are you going to find that traitor who conspired against him?" Wu Youcai sneered, "You really are, I wanted to call you father-in-law, why did you have to do this?"

Li Liezi laughed and said: "Mr. Wu was joking, the little old man is just taking Yuniang to visit relatives." While speaking, he stretched out his hand to protect his daughter behind his back.

Wu Youcai sneered and said, "Visiting relatives? Do you have to go on the road in the middle of the night to visit relatives? My lady is right, you people are cheap, and the bright matchmaker is marrying you, so don't blame me for being rude."

Saying that with a big wave of his hand, he is about to step forward and arrest people
Lame Li knew that his love was irreversible, so he stretched out his hand to stop him on his lame foot, and shouted: "Yu Niang, run! Run!"

"Father!" Yuniang ran two steps away, turned her head and cried,

"Leave me alone, run!" The servants of the Wu Mansion came up and knocked Li Liezi to the ground with a punch.

"Father!" Yu Niang cried and ran forward.But how can a weak woman outrun a big man.

"Little girl! Where are you going?" Wu Youcai chased after him, laughing lewdly.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!" Yu Niang retreated in a panic, the sound of the water was loud, and behind her was the Xiangxi River, and there was no way to retreat.

Wu Youcai walked forward step by step with a lewd smile, Yuniang glanced into the distance, and the outline of the Goddess Temple was faintly visible.Tears welled up in his eyes, carrying all the thoughts of Brother Du Donglai, he turned around and jumped, and big splashes splashed on the river.

"Yu Niang!" Lame Li lay on the ground, hoarse and heart-piercing.He stretched his hands forward as hard as he could, trying to catch Yuniang, but there was no chance.

Wu Youcai was slightly taken aback, and said anxiously, "Quickly, go and fish it up for me."

After a while, the servant came to report: "I can't see in the dark night, and the river is wide, so I can't find it."

Wu Youcai couldn't help feeling sad, alas!Pity!Immediately ordered: "Continue to search downstream tomorrow. If you want to live, you want to see people, and if you die, you want to see corpses. Also, hand over the old cripple to County Captain Chen."

At night, a few waves appear in the Xiangxi River from time to time, and the spin returns to silence, flowing quietly into the distance...
