The Asarum mule cart drove smoothly out of the city. There were fewer cars and fewer people on the road, so it went faster. It didn't take long before it entered the village.
At this moment, the workshop cafeteria was just opening for dinner, and the workers were queuing up to get their meals after they had brought their bowls.
When Old Man Xu saw this, he simply asked Xu Yinyin to get the bowl and ate the rice at home. It was an important matter, but he couldn't go hungry. The feeling of being hungry was uncomfortable.
After dinner, she called Ma and talked about finding her brother Ma Yugui.
"It was said that not long after we fled the famine, they also fled the famine. A large group of refugees passed by the village and rushed into the village. They robbed everything they saw without risking their lives. All the food and stuff from the in-laws' family were robbed. There was nothing we could do.
So they also came out and fled."
When Mrs. Ma heard that she had found her third brother Ma Yugui, she was overjoyed. Such joy made old man Xu almost unable to say the next words.
But what needs to be said still needs to be said.
Ever since, after Ma was overjoyed, his face turned pale, his body swayed, and he almost fell back.
Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure and said, "Dad, let's go to the city now! I can ask my parents where they are!"
Old Man Xu nodded, it was for this reason that he came back.
Originally, Xu Chunhe was going to deliver goods to the city and then bring them back tomorrow, so he decided to go together today.
At that moment, the two mule carts left the village together and headed for the city.
It didn't take long before we entered the city.
First, I went to the Yangliu Lane shop, put away the goods and cart, spoke to Mrs. Xu, and then got on the mule cart and headed to the government office.
Old man Xu knew that the prison was an unlucky place, so he did not let Xu Yinyin go with him and asked her to stay in the shop to help watch. This made Xu Yinyin, who was also curious to see something, helpless and could only watch them off helplessly.
It was just afternoon, and the Yamen was taking a break, but Fang Yuming knew they would come, so after eating, he quickly stood guard at the door. When he saw people coming, he took care of them and took them to the prison.
The jailers in the prison were also taking a break during their shifts. The prison chief and the jailers on duty gathered together to talk and relax. When Fang Yuming came, everyone was familiar with him.
Fang Yuming came forward to talk, and a jailer got up and went inside. Soon, he dragged someone out.
He was dragged into a small torture chamber, put on a tiger bench and handcuffed. After he was handcuffed, the jailer turned around and said, "This guy is a skinny guy. He is very powerful. If I don't handcuff him, I'm afraid of him."
I’m going to jump up and kill people later! Okay, if you want to ask anything, ask it quickly, don’t take too long!”
Fang Yuming agreed and sent the person out with a smile. Then he looked at Ma and said, "Sister-in-law, please ask."
Ma looked at the slovenly man in front of her and could hardly recognize it. This man was her third brother Ma Yugui.
Ma Yugui slowly raised his head and saw Mr. Ma in front of him. He was slightly stunned. He recognized the person and immediately grinned.
"Hey, eldest sister?"
Ma, Old Man Xu and Xu Chunhe were immediately frightened and took half a step back.
Is this person really Ma Yugui?
Why does it look so penetrating?
Indeed, Ma Yugui's eyes were red, his eyelids were turned outward, and there were blisters one after another on his mouth. There were big blisters covered with small blisters, glowing with yellow pus, which made him look disgusting and terrifying.
Old man Xu had a bad feeling in his heart. He opened his mouth and swallowed it back. Ma Yugui looked like he had eaten a lot of people.
"Sister! What's wrong? Don't you recognize your brother?" Seeing that Mr. Ma was stunned and didn't speak, Ma Yugui couldn't help but look irritable.
Ma finally came back to her senses and said in shock: "Yugui, how did you end up like this? Where are our parents? Where are the eldest brother and the second brother? Are they all okay?"
Ma Yugui did not answer these questions immediately. He saw that the eldest sister who escaped from the famine before them not only did not starve to death or die on the way to escape, but also arrived in Yiyang Fucheng safely. Not to mention, she had a rosy complexion and was dressed in fine cotton.
It looks like my life is going pretty well.
The eldest brother-in-law is also the same, and the in-laws are even more so. They are also wearing cotton and silk.
Not only that, why, there is actually a cousin working in this yamen?
I wonder if we can get him out?
Get out and rely on the eldest sister who is living a good life, then his life...
"Sister, I finally see you! Come on, get me out, I'll take you to find your parents!"
When Ma heard this, she was happy at first, and then she was stunned. How did she get out? How did she get out? Yugui was arrested after killing someone.
She couldn't help turning her head to look at Old Man Xu.
Old man Xu looked at Ma Yugui and said, "Yu Gui's nephew, how can we get you out? You killed someone!"
Kill someone...
Ma Yugui's red eyes turned ferocious, "I won't say anything unless you rescue me!"
Ma Shi really believed this threat. After all, she knew this third brother very well.
What about eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, teasing cats and dogs, stealing food from the house and selling it for flowers? It’s just killing people and arson... No, it’s just arson now. After all these years, if it weren’t for the eldest brother and the second brother, my father and mother
That would really make this son angry to death.
He couldn't be taught, and couldn't be controlled. He was so old that no girl from ten miles and eight villages was willing to marry him.
This is a person who is not stingy and does not accept anyone's control.
Seeing Ma's hesitation, Ma Yugui became even more proud. He looked like an old god, as if he was sure that Ma would save him just to see his parents.
But how did Madam Ma save him?
Not to mention that the relative is just a government official, even the prefect cannot save him!
This was a killing in the street, with so many people watching. Is it possible that the prefect’s relatives would risk letting you go just for the sake of your official reputation?
Even if she could, she wouldn't have the nerve to ask for help.
Therefore, after Ma's hesitation, he only said: "Yugui, eldest sister can't save you. You tell eldest sister where your parents are. Later, eldest sister will bring you good food, wine, and your favorite food."
Ma Yugui's face immediately changed, and he simply closed his eyes. He looked like he was the best even if the King of Heaven came, and he didn't even look at Ma.
Fang Yuming on the side couldn't help but said: "This guy is really good. He won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. He was also tortured in the morning, and he just opened his mouth and asked where he was and where he came from. Why don't I let the brothers from outside come in?"
Do yourself a favor and give him some color to try."
Seeing Ma Yugui's appearance, Ma knew that she could not make him speak, so she could only nod in agreement.
When it comes to being cruel, it's not that she is cruel, it's actually the third brother's virtue that she can't do anything about.
He simply avoided the door and refused to look.
Ma Yugui is not stingy, but even the most arrogant person is afraid of pain and death. As soon as the torture device is used, this guy starts screaming like a bear.
When asked now, he hesitated and wanted to talk to Ma about some benefits and conditions, but Fang Yuming directly asked his brother to help him again, which was so painful that he almost fainted.
Then I didn’t dare to talk nonsense.
Fang Yuming asked him, "Tell me! Where are your parents now?"
"All, all dead..."
Ma's legs went weak, and if Xu Chunhe hadn't hugged her, she would have fallen to the side.
Fang Yuming continued to yell: "How did you die? Where did you die? Where was you buried?"
