Sister-in-law Ximen hurriedly went out and arrived at the restaurant. As her family said, the restaurant girl had a chaste temperament and prayed for death several times. She cried so hard that she fainted. Her husband was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was murmuring there.
Begging for mercy, Xiaodong couldn't help but panic. It took him a long time to calm down. He apologized to the sisters in the restaurant on behalf of her husband and asked for mercy. He also wanted to make money to settle the matter.【】
The older sister hugged the fainted younger sister and said with tears in her eyes: "My wife is also a woman. If your innocence is tarnished by others, are you willing to accept some money and swallow your anger?"
She stared at Ximen Qing fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "I am a daughter's family. I can't beat him or kill him. Otherwise, I will definitely beat him to death tonight to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
She raised her face and said coldly: "You go back, don't say anything else, see you in the Yamen tomorrow morning!"
After hearing this, Xiaodong's heart felt as if he had been immersed in an ice cellar and had to pull out the cold.
If this lawsuit goes to the Yamen, my family will be ruined.
Her husband helps people with lawsuits all day long. Xiaodong also knows a lot about the "Da Ming Law" because of his ears and eyes. She knows that according to the "Da Ming Law": Those who fail will be hanged, and those who fail will be punished with a hundred sticks and exiled for three thousand miles.
Anyone who commits adultery under the age of twelve will be punished even if he is having an affair with the adulterer. If this case is brought to the government, the husband will undoubtedly die, and the whole family will be separated.
Xiaodong couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of this. Seeing her husband still kneeling there, he couldn't help cursing: "You bastard, you invited me to drink, why did you pour so much yellow soup? You took advantage of the wine to take over this girl's body.
, you...you damn thing, now...how can you live well now?"
Ximen Qing was dejected, all his former cleverness was gone, he just lowered his head and said nothing. Xiaodong's husband, the girl from the restaurant who had passed out again, suddenly thought of a way. She also knelt there with her husband, and said with a smile to the girl from Xie's family.
: "Girl of the Xie family, what happened today is all the fault of my family officials. But now that the matter has come to this, even if he is cut into pieces, your sister will not be able to be restored to her innocence. If the trouble is over, what's the point of ruining her reputation?
Is it a good thing? I have a solution here that can solve both problems."
Miss Xie wiped her tears and asked, "What can I do?"
Xiaodong's sister-in-law's husband said: "He is just a drunk and promiscuous person. He is a very responsible person. My Ximen family is in Yanggu County, and it is also a wealthy and wealthy family. As the saying goes, a good horse does not deserve two saddles.
, A martyr girl will not marry two husbands. Now that the matter has come to this, if...if your sister enters my house, then what happens tonight is a matter between husband and wife, but it is not considered a loss of honor, and it will be a disgrace to my sister for the rest of her life.
I’ve also given an explanation, is this okay with you?”
"this……"
Xie Yufei planned hard so that the girl she was infatuated with could stay together forever. When she heard this, it was exactly what she wanted, but if she agreed readily, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. She glanced at Ximen Qing hesitantly, but it was actually
She signaled him to join in begging for mercy, and she took advantage of the situation and agreed.
But Xiaodong thought that she was unwilling to agree. He just thought that when the sky dawned, he would go to the government and he and her husband would be separated. He couldn't help but became anxious and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, girl, your sworn sister is innocent."
She is a good girl. Naturally, my Ximen family cannot treat her badly. If she comes into my house, I will never treat her as a concubine. Xiaodong is willing to be worthy of her sisters and treat her as an equal."
When Ximen Qing heard what his wife said, he was touched and ashamed at the same time. He felt that his wife was really loving to him, but if he were to leave Nan Feifei, he was really reluctant to do so. He just thought to himself: "My wife treats me with deep love and loyalty.
Feifei is deeply in love with me. How can Ximen Qing be so lucky! From now on, I, Ximen Qing, will change my mind and treat you wholeheartedly. I will no longer be glib and flirt with flowers. If you want to be a big boss, I will be the small one."
"Okay, in that case..., I promise you, you go back first, and when my sister wakes up, I will persuade her. If you are here, I'm afraid she wakes up..."
Xie Yufei agreed hesitantly, but she was secretly happy: "Xiao Nizi, you finally have someone to rely on for life, and someone loves you. It's not in vain for my sister to be a bad person."
Thinking of this, she sighed softly in her heart and thought quietly: "You are so lucky. As for me, sister, he is probably enjoying life in Qingzhou at the moment. How can he remember me, a miserable person?"

Dasheng Bookstore is located on a relatively prosperous street in Jinan. There are rows of shops on both sides of the street with many names and colors. Next to Dasheng Bookstore is a tea house with a water curtain hanging at the door and a clay stove set up in the house. It specializes in selling plum soup and Hehe.
Soup, walnut and pine nut tea.
Directly opposite is a restaurant, which is very classy. It has three floors and has a hundred or ten seats inside. It faces the street with green railings. There are a lot of people drinking in the restaurant, and there are also the pink-headed wine girls, some with oily heads and noodles, or holding pipa in their arms.
Serving wine, singing songs, playing flutes and listening to flutes, it was so lively.
Of course, there are also skilled musicians. Although they are old men with wrinkles on their faces, they can play the erhu very beautifully, and their business is booming. In addition, there are also those who hold up fortune-telling flags and make nonsense to cheat people.
It's money, and after a day of hanging out, you can have plenty of food and drinks.
There is a new waiter in the teahouse next to Dasheng Bookstore. He is over 30 years old. It is said that he has not yet married a wife. He is in a daze all day. If he has nothing to do, he will sit on the front steps and walk down the street with his chin in his hands.
She is a big girl and a little daughter-in-law, her eyes are so straight that she can chase her all the way.
This man has no eyesight. If you don't stop him, he won't move, but if you really want him to work, whether it's chopping wood and boiling water, or adding tea and water to the person sitting at the table, he won't be able to sneak around. The shopkeeper's call
He was dumb, and the guests followed suit.
In the restaurant opposite, there was a new old man who played the erhu. He had a wrinkled face and gray hair. He played the erhu melodiously and made people cry. The drinkers who liked this kind of drink often called him over.
As soon as he sat down, Erlang's legs curled up, and he made a squeaking song, which made people feel sad from the inside out. This old man didn't have a name, so the waiters in the shop called him Old Cangtou, and the drinkers followed suit.
called.
More than a hundred miles away from Jinan, there is a county called Qihe County. If an old man from Qihe County wanders here occasionally, he will be surprised to see this old man and the dumb man in the tea house opposite. Because this old man is originally
They are the chief catchers of Qihe County. Their family has been working as servants in the government offices for generations. The servants are lowly servants and their status is lower than that of the people. However, they are not lowly at all in front of the common people.
The old man's name is Lei Muchai. He worked as a gangster, catcher, and team leader, until he replaced his father and became the catcher of Qihe County. In the 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he had been a cadre for 28 years. The year before last
He retired because of his old age and returned home to take care of himself. Almost all the government officials, official errands, inspectors, and policemen in Qihe County were his disciples and grandsons.
After Mr. Lei retired the year before last, his son Lei Haojin succeeded him as Mr. Lei in Qinghe County. Lei Haojin was in his early thirties and in the prime of life. His father and forefathers had learned all the skills of hunting down murderers and thieves from their ancestors in previous dynasties.
, the young man is better than the old man, and he is the right-hand man of Mr. Ren, the grand master of Qihe County. He is in charge of Qihe County and has a great reputation. The local young people do not dare to do evil, and those who are wandering around to commit crimes do not dare to go to Qihe County to commit crimes.
The thunder hunter was currently squatting on the steps of the tea house opposite, drooling as he stared at the swaying buttocks of a young lady in the distance, looking dumbfounded.
They, father and son, were the masters of the public affairs department who were sent by the prosecutor's office to keep an eye on Wang Yiyuan. Overtly and covertly, they also had several assistants who could be used by the policemen, pretending to be various people, to keep a close eye on Wang Yiyuan.
It was so tight. I guess Wang Yiyuan only farted a few times when he went to the latrine. They didn't know about it, otherwise there would really be nothing he could do to hide it from them.
It rained today. There were not many customers in the restaurant, and there were even fewer customers in the teahouse and bookstore opposite. The old man was sitting on a high building with his legs crossed, facing the green fence by the window, and he was babbling. Hu Xiaoxiang was raining at night, because
There were few guests, there was no one on the third floor, and no one paid attention to him.
The bookstore opposite was closed, and there were fewer customers because of the rain. Seeing that it was getting dark again, shopkeeper He kindly ordered the door to be closed in advance, and everyone went home to rest. Wang Yiyuan lived in the shop, and the two of them stayed there.
The waiter left, and Wang Yiyuan and Shopkeeper He closed the tent together. After Shopkeeper He also left, he installed the last door panel. Look at it, it was time to go back to the house to rest.
The sound of the harp above the restaurant stopped, and the old man leaned on the railing, seeming to have dozed off. The restaurant closed late, and if the rain stopped at night, the drinkers would still come. At this time, the back door of the bookstore opened.
A man held a yellow oil-paper umbrella and hurriedly walked out of the house.
The old man was condescending and clearly understood. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He took the huqin and played a few vibratos. Then he made a few slides with his fingers, vibratoed, bowed, and listened intermittently.
To human ears, they just thought that the old man was wiping the strings of the piano. Overtly and covertly, his disciples and disciples in the six gates understood and immediately followed the instructions and started to act separately.
Wang Yiyuan had long noticed that someone was staring at him. Shi Dayang's marking skills were very poor. Wang Yiyuan was also vigilant. After he found out that Shi Dayang was staring at him, he did not dare to make any move for several days. But it was precisely because someone was staring at him.
Looking at him, he realized that the government had become suspicious of him, and he had to take action.
Since it was raining today, he looked through the crack in the door for a long time and found that Shi Dayang found nothing and had already left. Then he took an umbrella and went out through the back door.
Niu Buye massacred the entire Li family. Although he had established his authority, the prestige of the government was greatly reduced, and the shaken believers regained their composure, but he also set up obstacles for himself. He was like a mouse in Jinan City.
Hiding, trying to escape was as difficult as climbing to the sky. Niu Buye became more and more anxious day by day, his rationality gradually improved, and Wang Yiyuan's words to encourage him began to gain the upper hand in his heart.
Tonight, he was the one who sent someone to contact Wang Yiyuan to take the initiative to meet and discuss the rebellion plan. It was also the first time he told people other than Ling Potian, the liaison envoy from all directions, after changing his hiding place.
