Tian Lian looked at Lai timidly, and said uneasily: "Auntie, Xiaolian doesn't dare to be ungrateful, I thought that my aunt and Sister Fengzhu were in danger, so I hurriedly ran to find someone to help." I really don't know, it's not like that. If I knew, I wouldn't have called someone, and I would have kept it a secret for my aunt. Although the eldest aunt will beat and scold our sisters and brothers, and will not give our brothers and sisters food, we are the same as the eldest aunt and sister. ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and kept wiping her tears.

Tian Lian seemed to be unintentional, but she clearly told the Lai family about their usual abuse of their sister and brother in front of the villagers.

Villagers' reproaches rained down.

Lai's face turned red with pork liver, and he had to stare at Tian Lian with hatred.

"Lai Dahua, what else do you have to say?" Old Man Yan asked.

"Lizheng, I was really wronged."

Lai did not admit that he was killed.

Old man Yan pointed at her with a cane and scolded: "I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, you tie up these people and send them to the county yamen early tomorrow morning, and hand them over to the county magistrate to judge the case." Dongzi, you take someone into the mountains tomorrow to find Dafu and come back, something like this happened to his family, he should know as soon as possible. ”

When the bandits heard that they were going to send it to the government, they were anxious and annoyed.

"Old woman, you have made our brother miserable."

"Big brother, this old woman is not a good thing, she has made our Baifeng Village miserable. said that the Gu family has silver, and said that the mother and daughter of the Gu family are like flowers, she is luring us to take the bait. ”

"We've been deceived."

The bandits howled one by one, eager to strangle Lai's to death.

All of them were harmed by her, otherwise they would still be eating, drinking, and having fun in Baifeng Village, so uncomfortable. If they are sent to the government tomorrow, their lives will be over.

The secret guard quietly opened the bandits' acupuncture points and quietly protected An Ning and the others.

After the bandits were freed, the first thing they did was to beat Lai and Shi Fengzhu, scolding while beating: "Mean woman, damn it!" ”

The courtyard of the Shi family was suddenly in chaos, and the secret guard saw that it was almost over, and cleaned up the bandits again.

Old Man Yan couldn't stand such a scene, sighed, and shook his head, "Tie them all up." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at An Ning, "An Ning, I'll borrow your people for one night first, and let them take care of these people tonight." ”

An Ning nodded.

Old Man Yan's face was tired, "Let's go home, everyone." Dongzi, you find someone to discuss, and at dawn tomorrow, you will organize to go into the mountains to find the rich father and son to go home. These in his family have to wait for him to come back to deal with it. ”

Colluding with land bandits in private, being retaliated against, **, these have to wait for someone to come back and deal with it.

"Daddy, the boy knows." Yan Dong nodded and looked at Yan Xiaocha, "Xiaocha, you and your mother help your grandfather go home to rest." ”

"Okay, Dad."

Old Man Yan glanced into the courtyard, shook his head, and left.

Little Lai came to Lai with a low cry, "Sister, what can I do?" ”

"Don't cry, you go home first." Lai was a little disheartened.

This time, this catastrophe, she is afraid that she will not be able to get through.

I'm to blame for all this.

Unfortunately, it has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it.

"But, sister, you can't leave you alone." Xiao Lai couldn't cry.

Since she married Yan Shan, in Niujiao Village, their sisters have taken care of each other, and she is the head of the Yan family, mostly because the Lai family supports her. Now that something like this has happened to Lai's family, how can her own sister not be sad, how can she not care?

On the side, Shi Fengzhu cried and shouted: "Auntie, Fengzhu's life is so bitter." ”

Xiao Lai glanced at her, stepped forward to hug her, and the two of them cried profusely, "My hard-working Fengzhu, why are you so miserable?" These evil bandits, they have harmed my phoenix bamboo. ”

Shi Fengzhu leaned on her arms and cried.

Yan Shan looked at it, and couldn't bear it, so he still stepped forward to help Xiao Lai, "Xiaohua, you get up first, it's inconvenient for us to stay here, you can go home with me." Early tomorrow morning, I will go into the mountains with them to find my eldest brother-in-law, there is such a big matter here, and I have to wait for him to deal with it. ”

Xiao Lai listened, let go of Shi Fengzhu, and eagerly grabbed Yan Shan's hand, "In charge, you must find your eldest brother-in-law, and you must sue him, my eldest sister was murdered, and she did not collude with bandits." How could she, a woman, know these bandits? ”

Yan Shan frowned, and he was also puzzled.

How did this Lai get in touch with the bandits?

None of them know where the bandits are denning? In that case, how did she do it? Could this really be framed?

"Mother, just leave this matter to the government, you don't care." Yan Fenglin said on the side.

Xiao Lai and Shi Fengzhu raised their heads and looked at him in disbelief, "What did you say?" What do you mean by that? ”

Shi Fengzhu looked at him with tears streaming down his face, "Brother Fenglin, you have to believe Fengzhu, Fengzhu is sincere to you, Fengzhu was really harmed." That tranquility, all of them are ghosts behind her back, she takes money to collude with bandits, she hates our Shi family, woo woo woo ......"

At this point, Shi Fengzhu still didn't forget to take a bite of An Ning.

"It's not tranquility, I don't believe it."

Yan Fenglin reprimanded.

Xiao Lai got up and glared at Yan Fenglin angrily, "Feng'er, you disappointed me too much, do you just believe in an outsider, and you don't believe in your own relatives?" How can you do that? ”

"Say no more." Yan Shan shouted: "Who is right and who is wrong, the government has its own conclusion, this is not something we can say clearly." You either come home with me or you don't. ”

Yan Shan turned his head and glanced at Yan Fenglin, "Fenglin, you still have classes tomorrow morning, go back and rest." ”

Putting down the cruel words, he turned around with his back hand and left the Shi family.

Yan Fenglin hurriedly followed.

Shi Fengzhu called from behind: "Fenglin."

Zhu called from behind: "Brother Fenglin......"

Yan Fenglin paused, but did not look back, he took a deep breath, and still walked away.

Xiao Lai looked at the backs of their father and son, anxious and annoyed, and stomped his feet hatefully, "You... You guys... You two men with no conscience, how can you treat my eldest sister like this? ”

Lai Shi looked at it, people were tired and tired, and said decadently: "Xiaohua, you go home." Listen to the words of the eldest sister, live a good life, don't learn from the eldest sister, it is useless to regret it in the future. ”

"Big sister, you?"

"Let's go back."

Lai was disheartened.

She knew there would be no turnaround.

Early the next morning, Yan Dong took the men from the village into the mountains to find Shi Dafu, and happened to meet Shi Dafu and Shi Zilong out of the mountain. When they met, Yan Dong didn't hide it, and told the Shi family's situation truthfully.

"What?" After Shi Dafu heard this, he was so shocked that he staggered, and the prey on his shoulders slipped to the ground, and he didn't care about picking it up, so he ran down the mountain.

Shi Zilong hurriedly picked up the prey and chased after him, "Dad, Dad, Dad, you wait for me!" Be careful! ”

Everyone looked at the anxious appearance of the father and son, and couldn't help but sigh.

This Lai's family, a good life, but she wants to have another life, this time, she can be regarded as breaking up her home.

Shi Dafu ran home in one go, and after entering the courtyard gate, he looked at those people who were tied up with all kinds of flowers, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

"Big flower, tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Lai glanced up at him, and then, with his head down, did not speak.

"Say it." Shi Dafu's chest rose and fell violently, I don't know if it was because he had been running for a long time, or because he was angry.

Lai did not move, nor did he say a word.

Shi Fengzhu on the side looked at Shi Dafu with tears in his eyes, "Dad, help me, this has nothing to do with me at all." My daughter is like this now, she has no face to see people, if she goes to the government again, will her daughter still live? Woowoo woo ......"

Shi Dafu stepped forward and dragged Lai's up, "Don't you say it yet?" ”

Lai's eyes were red, and he glared at him, "I don't have anything to say, let them go, send them to the government, and let me if you leave." ”

"You admit it?" Shi Dafu raised his hand and wanted to slap it.

"Dad, don't beat your mother." Shi Zilong stepped forward and protected Lai's family, "Dad, now I want to find out the truth of the matter, not to blame my mother." When something like this happens, my mother and Feng Zhu are not having a good time, why do you have to ...... again"

"Don't stop me!" Shi Dafu pulled his hand hard, but to no avail, he glared at Shi Zilong, "Will you let go?" Who is your mother, don't you know? If these people weren't provoked by her, would they come to our house for revenge for no reason? ”

"Mother, just tell my father honestly." Shi Zilong turned his head and glanced at Lai.

Lai Shi hooked his lips and laughed a few times, "Dafu, let's not be a husband and wife in vain, you still know me." ”

"You... You... Do you admit it? ”

Shi Zilong's eyes turned red, "Mother, you didn't do it, you can't admit it." ”

Lai raised his head and chest, looked at Old Man Yan and Gu's mother and daughter who walked in from the gate of the courtyard, and then looked at Shi Dafu, "I did it, I did it, and I found these bandits." I hate the Gu family, for no reason, I just hate, I can't wait for their family to die, I can't wait for their family to die......"

Syllable......

Shi Dafu slapped him down.

"Thou wicked woman, thou hast done evil thyself and harmed thy children, what has become of thy heart? I'm really blind, how could I have lived with a woman like you for most of my life? ”

"Mother, don't talk nonsense." Shi Zilong couldn't accept the facts.

Lai glanced around at everyone and said with a smile: "I didn't talk nonsense, I just hated my family and hated them for living better than me." ”

"Mother......" Shi Zilong was a little broken, "Please don't say it, don't say it......"

He could accept what Lai had done before, but he couldn't forgive her for attracting bandits.

Lai suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Old Man Yan, "Li Zheng, this qiē is all my fault, I did it, I admit it, I admit it all." Qiu Lizheng let Feng Zhu go, she is innocent, she was also hurt because of me, Qiu Lizheng gave her justice. ”

There was no hope for herself, and she could no longer drag her daughter into the water.

Gu Shi sighed and shook his head silently.

Old Man Yan looked at Shi Dafu, "Dafu, you are also back, and the matter should be heard." This is no longer just your family affair, and we will send your daughter-in-law and the bandits to the yamen. As for Fengzhu girl, we can't tell whether she is involved or not, so she will also go to the yamen. ”

"Li Zheng, it's really all done by me, Fengzhu doesn't know about it, please, you just let her go."

Lai begged bitterly.

Shi Fengzhu kept crying, "Dad, help me, I really don't know what my mother did." ”

The bandits on the side were not reconciled, seeing that there was no room for maneuver, they simply pulled Lai's mother and daughter on their backs, "You say you don't know, but someone has to believe it." Our brothers can testify that their mother and daughter knew about this, and they simply wanted to harm the mother and daughter of the Gu family. ”

"You, you, you......"

"Don't point at me, look like a victim, in front of me, you can't pretend." The bandit leader glanced at Shi Fengzhu with disdain, "Lao Tzu was also harmed by your mother and daughter, if it weren't for you, how could Lao Tzu bring his brothers here, and how could he end up like this?" ”

Shi Fengzhu was so choked that he couldn't say a word, so he simply looked at him and fell down.

Save yourself from being embarrassed.

"Fengzhu ......" Lai cried, repenting his intestines.

Shi Dafu arched his hand to Old Man Yan, "Li Zheng, this matter is at the disposal of Li Zheng, and Dafu has no objection." I just ask Li Zheng to leave an activity for the little girl for the sake of the villagers. ”

Activities. ”

"Dafu, this matter has to be handed over to the yamen to deal with." Old Man Yan shook his head.

The matter has come to this point, and it is not for him to have the final say.

The bandits testified against Lai's mother and daughter, and so many villagers listened, and it was impossible for him to cover up.

Shi Zilong rushed to An Ning and lowered his body, "An Ning, I know that our family has done too many things that are sorry for your family, and I am not begging for your forgiveness." It's just that you and Feng Zhu are both women who haven't left the cabinet, you ......"

"Do you want me to put myself in her shoes and ask for the county lord?" An Ning asked rhetorically.

Shi Zilong nodded ashamedly.

An Ning hooked her lips and smiled, "I can't do it!" ”

"You?" Shi Zilong looked up in surprise.

An Ning took a long breath, looked at Shi Fengzhu, and said lightly: "You said that I am also a woman, I should stand in her position and think about it, but has she thought about it from my position?" If she had thought about it, or hesitated, the bandits would not have entered the village. Try to think about it, if I didn't have those martial arts people in my family, what would I be like now? I'm only going to be worse than her. ”

"I ......"

An Ning looked at Shi Zilong, whose lips were purging, and his eyes were as cold as ice, "I won't pity a person who wants to harm me, I'm not a bodhisattva, I can't repay grievances with virtue and purify all sentient beings." You asked the wrong person, if I were you, I would persuade her to confess honestly after she went to the yamen, and perhaps, she could not suffer more flesh and skin. ”

"I ......" Shi Zilong was ashamed of himself, and Anning's words were heartfelt, he really shouldn't ask her the most. At this moment, he deeply realized the harm caused by their family to An Ning, which could not be erased.

Bowing deeply, Shi Zilong said sincerely: "I'm sorry!" ”

Shi Dafu had tears in his eyes, looked up at the sky, and didn't let the tears flow.

His connivance with Lai's once caused today's tragedy.

It's his fault.

His connivance made Lai's inability to distinguish between good and evil.

"Ah......" he looked up to the sky sadly and shouted: "The ancestors of the Shi family, Dafu is sorry for you!" ”

Old Man Yan walked over, "Dafu." ”

"Lizheng, take these people away." Shi Dafu didn't bow his head, because he didn't want people to see him tearful, "Yiqiē listens to Lizheng's meaning, Dafu doesn't ask for anything." These are the consequences of their own evil and they can't blame others. ”

The people present looked at Shi Dafu's appearance, and they were all moved and felt pity.

Lai's eyes looked at Shi Dafu with teary eyes.

Step by step, the secret guard dragged her out of the Shi family.

At the gate, she suddenly grabbed the door frame hard, looked greedily at the bricks and tiles of the Shi family, and cried and shouted: "Master, I'm sorry for you!" I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong. ”

"Take it."

Old Man Yan waved his hand.

Shi Dafu listened to Lai's voice, and tears finally flowed out of the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, no amount of remorse can undo anything.

Shi Zilong chased out, "Mother, Fengzhu ......"

Seeing that a group of criminals were thrown into the carriage by the secret guards, Shi Zilong couldn't do anything, just stood in front of the crowd, watching the carriage disappear into the village with red eyes.

"Eldest sister, Fengzhu ......" Xiao Lai sat on the ground and cried.

Yan Shan squatted beside her, constantly wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

The villagers stood still and did not disperse for a long time.

The matter of Lai's collusion with bandits, and the fate of Lai's mother and daughter, all made the villagers feel depressed. I usually see Lai's bad and bad, but I don't know that she can be so confused that she can lead people to burn?

If those bandits had gone on a killing spree in the village, then Niujiao Village might have been a dead village by now.

She ended up pitifully now, but she had unforgivable hatred.

……

On the same day, the secret guard brought back news from the county seat that Lai's had confessed to colluding with bandits, and those bandits were sentenced to be beheaded in the vegetable market three days later, while Lai's and Shi Fengzhu were sentenced to wander the streets and be imprisoned for life.

The next day, the Yamen sent someone to Shi's house and asked Shi Dafu to go to the prison to collect the body.

Lai hanged himself in prison, and Shi Fengzhu was humiliated and died by hitting the wall.

Shi Dafu was hit by the old man, as if he was ten years old in two days, and his temples were snow-white. He went to the Yamen prison with Shi Zilong, but did not come back. In the past, the Shi family, who staged a scolding war every day, now only the three sisters and brothers of the Tian family and the Yang family are left.

When the villagers usually pass by the door of Shi's house, they can't help but shake their heads and sigh.

After the Shi family's incident, the villagers are more convinced that good and evil are rewarded.

"Haha...... This is retribution, this is retribution. Yang laughed and shouted in the room again, and she was babbling and shouting every day about retribution and what she was wrong.

Now the villagers are willing to take a detour, and they are afraid to pass by the door of Shi's house.

I always feel that when I pass by there, my back is cold and creepy.

The county seat, Fengfu, Ningxiang Temple.

Danlan hurriedly entered the main house from the outside, signaled the maid-in-law in the house to retreat, and cautiously closed the door, and then came to Zhuang Yuhan's side, took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Madam, wait for the letter from the master."

Zhuang Yuhan, who was lazily leaning on the chaise longue, heard this, and immediately sat down, his eyes flashing.

"Who's sending the letter?"

"Xiao Ganzi beside Hou Ye, the slave and maid met him outside the city, and he has been sent back to Luancheng." Danlan knew that the situation was tense right now, and there could be no move that would make people suspicious.

Zhuang Yuhan nodded with satisfaction.
