Father can be an enemy to the country

"He, damn, I will fight with them!" His Highness King Qin had a target this time, and rushed out again carrying a hatchet.

"Second brother, don't be impulsive," the third and fourth brothers quickly stopped him and said, "Do you know where the Leek Mountain is?"

"Do you know how many people are copycatting this village? Are you going to die alone?"

"What if they lied and it wasn't a mountain of leeks at all, but a mountain of eggs?"

"This..." Zhu Xi was dumbfounded again.

"Could it be someone from the same village who did it?" Zhu's eyes flashed sharply. Although the relationship between us has eased a lot now, people's hearts have been sinister and the world has been unpredictable since ancient times.

"They didn't do it." At this time, Zhu Zhen came in from outside.

"Lao Liu, when did you go out?" Zhu Di said anxiously: "The situation outside is unclear, so don't fucking run around!"

"While it was still dark, I followed the footprints and went out to take a look." Zhu Zhen pointed to the muddy courtyard. The few lines of outward footprints were almost completely covered up by the rain and their brothers' footprints.

"Otherwise, I'm sure I won't be able to see anything tomorrow."

"What did you see?"

"Yes, a group of four." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "They came in from the west end of the village, and I saw horse hoof prints at the entrance of the village."

"Do they have horses? Are they so powerful?!" The brothers couldn't help but be surprised. They already know that horses are rare. There are very few horses among the people, let alone Jinqiaokan, there are only a few in Daineng Township.

I'm afraid only the noble family in Fengyang County can afford to raise horses, right? It would be very good for a wealthy local family in this county to have a donkey or a mule.

"If there is no horse, we can still solve it by ourselves; if there is a horse, we have to think about it in the long term." The third brother analyzed calmly.

At this time, the movement in the Hong Family Courtyard alarmed the neighbors, and Tang Jiazhang and others came to check one after another.

It's not just to watch the excitement, because the Ming Dynasty stipulated that "village thieves are responsible for Lijia." Boss Zhu also ordered that "if there are robbers, thieves, escapes from the army and prisoners, or evildoers, no one person can arrest them, and the old man Lijia must be arrested." Gather a large number of people and capture them before the officials. Those who violate the rules will be punished.'

Therefore, Tang Jiazhang and the men in the same armor also have the obligation to help them deal with this group of thieves.

After listening to Lao Wu's story and watching the scene, Tang Jia Chang twirled his goatee and shook his head and said: "Strange, really strange."

"Why is it strange?" everyone asked.

"This Linhuai County is the hometown of the emperor, and bandits and thieves always go around." Tang Jia Chang explained: "Because no one knows whether any family will be related to the current emperor? Maybe there will be some cases. It’s a big case!”

"Yeah." The brothers nodded, thinking that it made sense. For example, we could get married...

"Besides, they are all powerful thieves with four or five horses. How can they risk coming to Dixiang to commit crimes in a poor place like ours?" Tang Jia Chang analyzed again: "We should go to Fengyang County to rob big households. right!"

"Yes. Instead of robbing the rich, you come to rob the poor of food? It's so unreasonable." Everyone continued to nod.

"To say the least, even if they are really hungry and don't have the guts to rob the big households, they just want to rob food in the village. How can they only rob one household? The Hong family's small amount of food is not enough to fill the teeth of the village. ." Chief Tang Jia really knows his way and continued his analysis:

"You have to grab a few households to make enough money."

"It's true." Everyone nodded even more this time. It was raining at that time, and all the men had gone to work in the fields. Only the old, weak, women and children were left in the village. It was not impossible for the bandits to rob the whole village.

"So, have you offended someone?" Tang Jiazhang looked at the five brothers.

After getting in touch with them during this period, he felt more and more that these five Hong family brothers were full of mysteries. The identity can be scary.

"No, no." Zhu Xi scratched his head.

"To put it bluntly, when we first came here, there were some immigrants who were jealous of the many things we shared." King Jin recalled in detail.

"My brother and I even scared them."

"That's not the case. Besides, they have no horses." Tang Jiazhang shook his head.

Everyone gathered together for a while, but seeing that it was getting dark and they had no clue, Chief Tang Jia had no choice but to say: "Let's leave now. Tomorrow morning, the old man will take the Hong brothers to the county to report for an official and see what the old parents say."

"That's all we can do." The neighbors all dispersed. Before going out, Chief Tang Jia asked: "Is there any food left tonight? Go to my house to get some food first?"

"There is still half a bag of rice in the kitchen, but they didn't find it." Zhu Ru said softly.

"Okay." Tang Jia Zhang said nothing more.

~~

Half an hour later.

One night before liberation, five brothers gathered around the stove fire, holding wild vegetable soup with sparse grains of rice in their hands. They listened to the sound of rain outside the window and were filled with desolation and resentment.

"His grandma, he would have eaten dry food three times a day!" King Qin's anger never subsided. "Save money and save money, it's all a fucking advantage to the bandits!"

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault..." Brother Wu just kept crying while holding the bowl, unable to swallow even a grain of rice.

"Why is it your fault? You have no strength, so you fight them for some food? That's the stupidest thing!" Zhu Di shouted in a deep voice: "Don't cry, no one will blame you!"

"Yes, that's right. No one blames you, Fifth Brother!" The second brother with a clumsy mouth also quickly comforted him and said, "I won't complain anymore. Stop it. Don't feel bad."

"That's right, Fifth Brother, we are brothers, there is no need to apologize." The sixth person's comforting perspective is always unique. "For example, if I made you whipped, I never thought of apologizing, because I knew my brothers would not blame me."

"Hahaha, that's right."

"No matter how hard life is, don't forget our identities!" Even the third brother, who always spoke harshly, said to Lao Wu:

"Don't forget that we are here to practice, and we don't really want to live here at Jinqiaokan for the rest of our lives! So the more difficulties we encounter, the better. As long as we overcome the past, our experience will be more effective!"

"Well..." Lao Wu nodded and shed tears again. But this time I was warmed by my brothers...

After listening to the third brother's words, Zhu Zhen suddenly thought of a possibility and asked quietly:

"Do you think today's incident was arranged by my father?"

"What?" The brothers were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then burst out laughing:

"Hahaha, Liu, you really know how to tell jokes!"

Even Fifth Brother couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't tell a joke." Zhu Zhen pouted.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The fourth brother said flatly: "Father, as a human being, would not trick his son into death like this!"

"That's right." The third brother also rarely agreed with the fourth brother: "Father can't do such a thing!"

"That's right." The second brother also said with deep understanding: "Tiger, tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds."

"Lao Liu, this kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous." The third brother smiled and wanted to pinch his cheeks, but there was no flesh on his cheeks anymore, and he only pinched his loneliness.

Then King Jin said sternly: "No matter what situation you encounter, never think in the worst possible way about your father! Do you remember, Lao Liu?"

"That's right." The fourth brother also educated him: "There are no bad parents in the world, and there are no bad kings and fathers. They are always like this."

"Yeah, I understand." Zhu Zhen suddenly realized that he was not stupid, so he could naturally understand the meaning behind his brothers' words.

Only then did he realize to his horror that not only his eldest brother, but also his third and fourth brothers were much smarter than him!
