Chapter 324: Dark Shadows Under the Light
Someone inside opened the door after a while, and then a pale old woman glanced at the patriarch of Hanjiazhuang: "Xiao Jiu, it's the middle of the night, what's the matter with your third master." ”
"Sanniang, it's really a bit urgent, otherwise I would never have come to the door in the middle of the night." Saying that he had already welcomed him in, Yang Youcai took a look, this house is not very high, found a good place to borrow, stretched out his hand and jumped on the wall, if someone else is here, he will definitely be frightened, no one can imagine that a fat man has such a flexible body.
Yang Youcai glanced around, thinking that it probably wouldn't attract the attention of others, and then jumped off the wall gently, and suddenly a dog barked from the corner of the wall, which startled Yang Youcai and hurriedly threw a small ball over.
I saw that the dog seemed to smell something delicious, and bit the little ball tightly in its mouth. Yang Youcai was taken aback, and after a little relaxation, he forgot that the peasant family loved to raise dogs, and almost caused big trouble.
The people inside heard the dog bark twice and stopped barking, and they didn't come out to take a look when they felt that there was nothing wrong, Yang Youcai tiptoed lightly to the bottom of the window, and the windows were open this season, which saved him trouble.
I only heard the patriarch ask: "Third master, have you ever heard of the official name of Jinyiwei?" ”
The third master smiled: "Where is there something that the third master has never heard, how did you remember to listen to the story at night?" After lunch tomorrow, you come to the bottom of the big tree at the entrance of the village, and I will tell you a story, and I still have to sleep in the middle of the night. ”
The patriarch smiled bitterly: "Third master, I'm not here to listen to your story, I saw Jinyiwei recently, are they very powerful?" ”
The third master muttered: "You kid don't sleep at night to entertain me, don't you?" The Ming Dynasty has been gone for decades, where did the Jinyi Guard come from? ”
"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, the decree we said a few days ago to exempt half a year's tax was issued by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty began to fight with the Qing Dynasty again."
"Where did the Ming Dynasty come from?"
"Naturally, someone played the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and only came to the Ming Dynasty."
"Then are we now people who belong to the Qing Dynasty or people from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Now it's a person from the Ming Dynasty, and it's hard to say in a few days."
"You said you ran into Jinyiwei?"
"yes, you've dealt with them?"
", you've dealt with them and come back alive? When I was young, there was a person in the village who went to the provincial capital to do business, and he saw the Jinyi Wei taking people, and it was said that the big official in charge of a provincial city didn't dare to let go of a fart, so he was killed by the whole family, and he also hung his head on the city wall to show the public. ”
In order to make the story more vivid and terrifying, the people who hear it will also be frightened by the surprise of the story, and they can naturally admire the storyteller for seeing such an exciting scene, and the storyteller will vaguely get a sense of satisfaction.
So Yang Youcai didn't think about which case it was, anyway, there was no such thing in his impression, and it was true that Jinyiwei was the Son of Heaven's pro-army, but there was no practice of directly killing people's homes, they were all ordered to be raided, and their heads had to be pulled to the execution ground to be cut. The storyteller didn't know where he heard it, and it was rendered again.
The patriarch in the room turned very ugly: "They even dare to kill officials in charge of a province?" ”
"Then what's not to dare, that's Jinyiwei, it is said that they are all first-class masters selected by the emperor from the people, each with unique skills, as long as they come down, they are the masters of the people, but I don't have the opportunity to see Jinyiwei in my life, otherwise I will tell my grievances."
The patriarch smiled bitterly: "What grievances do you have for your old man, but they are really that powerful?" ”
"What's wrong with you kid tonight? Third master, do I look like I'm taking you for fun? People are running errands by the emperor's side, think about it, why did the emperor choose him by his side instead of you? It's not that people have great skills. ”
Hearing this, the smile on the patriarch's face became more and more bitter, and a candle was specially lit in the room because of his arrival, but the two old men were dizzy, and no one could see the worry in the patriarch's heart.
The patriarch walked out of the house: "Third master, third mother, you rest early, try not to go outside the village in the past two days, now the outside is unstable, if there is anything to ask someone to bring me a message, I will do it for you." ”
Yang Youcai had already quietly climbed over the wall, so he didn't hear the old woman muttering: "This dog doesn't know how to look after the house at night, so he knows how to sleep." ”
He continued to walk with the patriarch, but fortunately it was night, but no one appeared in this dark shadow, and followed all the way to a large house, which should be the patriarch's house if he expected it to be good.
There were already people waiting for him at the door, and after glancing at him, he complained: "Why did you come back so late?" ”
The patriarch sighed: "Don't mention it, we're in big trouble." ”
"What's going on?"
"Hey, let's go inside."
Saying that, the two of them entered the house, the patriarch of the village only had the name of a patriarch, but the family was not a wealthy landlord, but there were a few long-term workers, and they all went back to sleep at night, and now there was only his own family left, but the person at the door didn't look like his family, so Yang Youcai made up his mind to find out.
The patriarch's house is not the kind of small house of his third master's family, the walls of this house are eight feet high, Yang Youcai wants to reach out and turn over it It is estimated that it is unrealistic, so he can only find a place with an angle, climb up with strength, and go up after a little effort, and then he took out the balls that had been prepared a long time ago, looked around and found the location of the kennel, stretched out his hand and threw it out, and then went down the wall with confidence.
He looked around, it was a four-way courtyard, the candlelight of the east and west wings was still on, and one of the four rooms in the main room was lit with candles, reflecting two figures, and he sneaked under the window, intending to continue eavesdropping.
However, this place is very risky, because once the people in the east and west wings want to come out to find the people in the main house, they can see him if they look closely, and then they will have to alarm the people in the village, and he will have to struggle to run again.
But he was really curious about what the two men in the room were doing, so he boldly leaned down under the window and pricked up his ears.
I only heard the voice of the patriarch inside: "When you were doing things, you didn't say that you would get into trouble with Jinyiwei. ”
The person inside sneered: "What is the Jinyi Guard?" ”
"What's that? I've already inquired, it's the emperor's pro-army! ”
"There's no way to hide it from you now, you have to know that the car of things is from the Ming Emperor, and it's strange that Jinyiwei doesn't come!"
