When Wang Kuizi heard what his brother-in-law said, he patted his chest and said, "Okay! Since you said so, brother, then I will come. Although my hands are not very dexterous, I still have a lot of strength! I saw wood and carried wood.
No problem at all!”
Li Donggua nodded, knowing that this brother-in-law was hardworking.
"Then if you go back today, tell your family that you will bring Ladong with you tomorrow and pack your clothes. I have a place to live there to avoid the trouble of running back and forth every day."
It was settled, the wontons were almost lumpy, so I quickly started eating the wontons.
While I was eating, a group of officers and soldiers entered the street in a mighty manner, shocking everyone on the roadside to look at it curiously.
Their Panshi Town is an important town, and there is also a defense battalion stationed here, but this team of officers and soldiers is obviously not soldiers from their town.
"I heard that King Changshan has ordered an attack to take back Mayang Pass. The momentum is like a rainbow. It seems that Mayang Pass will be taken back in less than two days. Now this delay is just to make the enemy capture the treasonous King Hou.
Hand over the thief! There is no danger in our Jingzhou Prefecture, so why are so many officers and soldiers suddenly here?"
"Is it to draw soldiers?"
"Probably not! The Prince of Changshan has already recruited a hundred thousand soldiers to go to the battlefield. The enlistment fee is five taels of silver each! Many people are rushing to sign up, and even if they don't reach our Panshi Town, the number is already full!
We have fought several battles now, so why are we still firing soldiers!"
"Then what is this doing?"
Two men eating wontons at the next table were talking quietly.
Li Donggua also took a curious look at the officers and soldiers coming over. When he saw this group of officers and soldiers entering the street, he entered the alley ahead.
That alley leads into Lishan Lane.
Someone curious followed behind to see what was going on.
Not long after, the officers and soldiers came out of the alley, and there were several more people in the team who were being escorted by the officers and soldiers, some old and some young.
Li Donggua was startled when he saw the old man being held up. Isn't this his third sister-in-law Liu's father?
How come a whole family was arrested by officers and soldiers?
There are people who are as curious as him!
Most of the people who run around in the town know Liu Jianghe. He is a gambling shop owner. He is quite capable and has a group of people at his disposal. It is not uncommon for them to break into someone's house and collect gambling money.
Suddenly the whole family was arrested. Is this a crime?
Humph, let’s just say that no one who runs a gambling house is clean. Now it’s okay. If you are caught by the government, you won’t be unjust!
Everyone pointed and looked at the excitement.
Those who followed in and watched the arrest process up close said mysteriously: "This Liu Jianghe family was not arrested because Liu Jianghe committed a crime! You will never guess why!"
"Why? Come on, tell me!" Someone pulled him curiously.
The man clicked his tongue and said, "You know Zhang Digua, the original owner of Zhangji Grocery Store, right?"
"I know! This shop has been open in the town for more than ten years. Who doesn't know? It's not because his old father is a murderer and everyone stopped buying from his shop. The shop couldn't continue to operate, so the family moved to another shop.
He moved away, I don’t know where he went. By the way, isn’t this Liu Jianghe the father of Mrs. Zhang Digua? Last year, there were rumors that the Liu family stole people! But does this have anything to do with the Liu family being arrested? "
"It has a lot to do with it! Didn't Zhang Digua have a daughter who became a show girl and entered the palace? I heard that she was given the title of Baolin at the beginning of the year and was favored, but within a few days, she was so bold as to murder the prince!"
"Think about it, the eldest prince is the emperor's only son. How rich is he? Besides, anyone can harm the prince. The emperor was so angry that he gave Zhang Baolin poisonous wine on the spot and ordered Zhang Baolin's house to be raided and destroyed.
Where is her clan!"
"The Liu family is Zhang Baolin's mother's family, so naturally they are implicated!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect it to be such a big event.
"This Baolin is so courageous! How dare he murder the prince?"
"The Liu family is also in bad luck! If you sit at home, trouble will come from the capital!"
"Why are you so unlucky? This is retribution! His family opened a gambling den, which caused so many wives and families to be separated and destroyed. It wouldn't be a pity to catch him!"
Hearing these words, Li Donggua and Wang Kuizi at the wonton stall couldn't sit still.
Li Donggua touched the copper plate to pay the bill, grabbed Wang Kuizi and ran home quickly.
Fortunately, it's not far away, so we took a shortcut and arrived quickly. Lihua came home just in time to have lunch and carried a basket to take rice to Chen's shop.
When they collided together, Lihua was startled, and the basket almost overturned. She couldn't help but said: "Dad, uncle, what are you running for? Are you desperate?"
"Isn't it imminent?" Li Donggua responded and quickly strode through the door.
Inside, old Mrs. Deng heard the commotion and came out. Her son looked anxious, and his eldest son-in-law followed behind, also curious, "What's going on?"
Li Donggua hurriedly said: "Something big happened! Xinghua murdered the prince, and the emperor was furious and ordered the family to be confiscated and exterminated! I just said that the boss has been quiet for a few days. It was because he, the third boss, and the others were imprisoned in the county.
went!"
"The officials just arrested the Liu family, and they are probably coming to our house soon!"
Old Deng's face turned pale, and he blurted out: "I said it at the beginning, this is all wealth and honor that can't be seen, it's just money for nothing, just like Xinghua, how can she be the emperor's concubine? But the sweet potato couple
It’s just that you are determined! Now it’s better! It’s a disaster for the family!”
After saying that, she sighed and saw that her son was in such a hurry. She said, "Why are you so anxious? The house raid is also a raid on the Zhang family. Xinghua's surname is Zhang. You have now returned to the Li family. You are a descendant of the Li family.
This is none of your business! Don’t worry, officers and soldiers won’t come home.”
After Li Donggua heard this, he came back to his senses. Yes, his surname is Li now, and he is a member of the Li family. He should not be involved with their family.
but.
"But what should the fourth child and his family do?"
Old Mrs. Deng was startled, and then he realized, "Oh! What are Hugua and the others going to do?!"
On this day when their families were separated, the second and fourth children lived in harmony and celebrated the Chinese New Year together. She almost forgot that the fourth child was still named Zhang and was from the Zhang family!
Although she did feel a little uncomfortable when the eldest son and the third son's family were arrested, she could still make sense of it.
The third child and his family want to send their daughter to the palace. Good fortune and misfortune are all connected. In the current situation, no one else is to blame. I just feel uncomfortable that my grandson Zhang Bai is still young and has to suffer the same consequences.
The boss and his family are also heartbroken. No one is worthy of the blame and they deserve to be implicated.
Xinghua is so bold, what can she do? She can't save anyone.
But what should the Hugua family do?
Hu Gua has now improved. He is making vermicelli at A Qiu's village in a down-to-earth manner, working hard, and even A Qiu says he is doing well.
Miao's wife has always been good.
There is also Zaohua, and her little grandson Shidan, who is less than three years old!
damned!
What can we do?
"Winter melon! Hurry up and get into the car! Let's drive you back and take a look!"
