The market in Yicheng was a little lighter than in the past. They had heard that a living Buddha was born in Huizhou City and would ascend to heaven in three months. Many people in Yicheng rushed there early to watch the excitement.
A lot of people came to the four-way intersection of the market. A memorial platform was built with wooden boards at the place where the pear blossoms used to perform. A cage was also nailed on the wooden frame on the memorial platform. People coming from the north and the south were confused.
, stopped and looked at the mourning platform to see a three-foot-long white plain curtain hanging on the mourning platform. In the center of the curtain was written a word "Die" that was larger than a man. After the people of Yicheng inquired, they found out that it was # among the four hegemons of the Li family.
##Li Hu was killed, and the Li family was trying to seek justice for Li Hu.
The autumn wind was rustling and melancholy, and after three o'clock in the morning, the Li family's wooden frame and the cage nailed to it were ready. There were four people standing under the memorial platform. Anyone with a sharp eye would immediately recognize them as the Li family brothers and the manager Li An. People who don't want to cause trouble.
When they saw the Li brothers, they all turned around and left. There were also many who liked to join in the fun and stayed here. Li An bowed and said, "Masters, is it possible that Lihua doesn't dare to come? I've always been young.
According to the third master's instructions, I will monitor them, and Lihua has been here at dawn for the past three months from September to now."
The boss, Li Long, turned around and glared at Li Bao, and said unhappily: "I said, Third, what are you doing? According to my idea, I would have killed that girl when she got tired of playing with her. You still bothered to let Fourth go and fight with them?"
Gambling money. Now that woman has run away, let me see how you explain it to ###!"
Li Biao, with a smile on his face, said: "Haha, brother, don't be angry. I think the third brother did what he did. He killed people to pay debts and paid back money. Now they have both. Even if it means breaking the law, it's us.
It makes sense, I think the third brother will let them die clearly by doing this, and no one will gossip about our Li family anymore."
Li Bao shook his head and sneered: "Fourth brother, are our Li family afraid of others gossiping? I have spent so much effort just to prevent them from dying so quickly. I want to make their lives worse than death."
Li Long said angrily: "I think you guys are farting and taking off your pants is completely unnecessary. The duck that is about to reach your mouth is almost flying now."
Li Biao smiled and said: "Brother, that little girl killed my second brother and was a disaster. What kind of woman can't play with us? But let's forget this woman. I just want to see how she died?"
"Bah, it's just the two of you. You kept it ready for three months without catching her. Who said I had to play with her? Now that everyone has run away, let me see how you avenge ###!"
Li Bao pointed his finger and said coldly: "Brother, don't worry. Didn't Lihua come by herself? Do you think she can run away? Her every move is under her control. It's just a dream to run away. She still has it in her heart."
I can’t let go of that silly boy! What a stupid fool, huh!”
Among the crowds in the market, Lihua was dressed in plain clothes. She separated from the onlookers on both sides with an indifferent expression. Shi Shiran walked up to the Li brothers and said, "I killed Li Hu alone and had nothing to do with them. You put Rengui
Let me and those two girls go, I will admit it if they want to kill or chop them into pieces."
After Li Long laughed twice, his face suddenly darkened and he said: "Damn girl, you are not bold at your age, but you are not young at all. Who do you think you are? You dare to speak to me like this, since you are here.
It's up to you." Li Hu stretched out a big hand and pinched Lihua's chest hard. The onlookers around him couldn't help but exclaimed when they heard that Lihua had killed Li Hu...
Li Bao said gloomily: "Miss Lihua, your business is booming these days. You see, so many people are fans of your opera. I asked you to come here today just to sing for them. I only want you to sing for another three months."
The play.”
"What?" Lihua was stunned by Li Bao's words, and opened Li Long's Anlu claws. She asked urgently: "Is this true? I only need to give you three months of drama, and you will let it go.
Us?"
Li Long yelled: "Lao San, did you let a donkey kick your head? How can it be so cheap? You just let her sing for three months?"
Li Bao looked at Lihua and said, "In these three months, I want you to kneel in front of my second brother's soul every day and sing with a wooden sign on your head. Li An, bring me that wooden sign." Li An, the manager, said
With a sly smile on his face, he took out a narrow wooden sign from a carriage not far away, which was made of a thin board over three feet long and one foot wide. It was about the same size as the wooden sign placed on the head of the prisoner who was beheaded at Caishikou.
Lihua saw the six characters "The most poisonous woman in the world" written on the wooden sign, and immediately understood Li Bao's intentions. She shouted: "I am not a poisonous woman, I am not a poisonous woman... I don't want to sing with a wooden sign."
…”
"Yes, the third child just wants her to let everyone in the world know that she is a poisonous woman who killed ###. I don't see how she can meet people." Li Long also understood Li Bao's intention and clapped his hands in praise.
Li Bao pointed to the carriage behind Lihua and said: "The three people you want are all inside. If you are not willing to sing for three months, then there is no need for me to come and talk nonsense with you."
Lihua turned around and saw a servant of the Li family lifting up the curtain of the carriage outside the carriage. Inside, lying on the carriage board were three sisters Yao Rengui and Zhuzhu, who were beaten and their clothes were stained with blood and looked inhuman. They were
She was being gagged and guarded in the car. Lihua was about to rush over, but Li An grabbed her arm and said angrily: "I beat them for half a night, and now they can't die."
Lihua glared at Li Bao angrily and scolded: "Let them go quickly, I will pay for Li Hu with my life!"
"It's not easy for you to die. It's just like squeezing a few bugs to death. If you don't want to play with wooden signs, I'll let them die in front of you one by one. Just open your eyes and watch carefully.
." Li Bao nodded to the slave beside the carriage. When the slave saw it, he pouted at his accomplices in the carriage. The guy inside took out a sharp knife from his waist and danced it into a sword pattern. Seen in the market
The lively people saw that the Li brothers were about to commit murder in public, and they all lowered their heads and scattered. Who dares to offend the Li family in Yicheng? Business people always have money in their pockets, and they have money at home.
People with children can't afford to go against those evil people in the Li family.
The guy who operated the knife grabbed Yao Rengui, who was lying in the carriage, and scratched his eyelids twice with the blade. Yao Rengui's whimpering screams under the silver light made people shudder. The blade was about to cut out of his eyes as soon as he turned.
The stabbing was done in the nest, and Xiaotong and Zhuzhu were so frightened that they closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look any more. Listening to Yao Rengui's heart-rending screams, Lihua's heart was broken, and she cried loudly and begged.
: "Stop it...I sing...I sing..."
Li Bao shouted: "Wait a minute!" When the waiter heard Li Bao's words, he withdrew the short knife in his hand and spit thick phlegm into Yao Rengui's face, throwing aside Yao Rengui who was on the verge of collapse. At this time, Yao Rengui was already long gone.
All he could do was tremble, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.
Li Bao waved his hand and the servant drove the carriage away from the market. Li An inserted the wooden sign into the back of Lihua's neck and said with a smile: "Miss Lihua, it's time to go on stage to sing. Hehe, you can give it to me."
Listen up, from today onwards you have to wear this wooden sign for me all the time. Have you seen the wooden stand on the stage? That is where you stay on the stage. If you dare to play tricks on me, be careful of me.
Brothers, you are rude to you!" Lihua looked at the wooden cage set up on the coffin platform, which was only half a person high. How could it be used to house people? It was surrounded by ventilation and could not stand straight up or lie down. It was obvious that she was treating herself like a pig or dog.
With tears streaming down her face, Lihua knelt down towards the old house in the west and said sadly: "Dad, I failed to take good care of Brother Rengui and I feel ashamed of my father's kindness in raising me. Brother Rengui, Zhuzhumei and Xiaotongmei, I
I can't save you, so I can only go to the underworld to apologize to you..." Lihua reached into her sleeves and took out a rusty pair of scissors and stabbed herself in the throat. Li An flew up beside her and kicked her.
On Lihua's wrist, the scissors in Lihua's hand fell away.
Li Long, the boss of the Li family, fiercely went up to him and slapped him a few times and said angrily: "I didn't let you die, how dare you die? If you die, I will cut off the lame man's flesh one by one and feed it to the dogs, and the stinky girl will go to me to sing in the opera."
." Li Long, who was more than eight feet tall, dragged Lihua onto the mourning platform. Lihua knew that Yao Rengui's life was in their hands. If he died, he would only cause more suffering to Brother Rengui. Lihua clenched her fists on the mourning platform.
He clenched his teeth and let Li Long punch and kick him without opening his mouth to sing. Li Long was sweating profusely after working hard for a while.
Li Biao laughed under the mourning platform and said: "Brother, you beat her to death, didn't you just fulfill her wish? I still hope that she can earn the usury money that the damn lame owes us!"
Li Long stopped his hand and said to Li An: "Send someone to watch her carefully. If this girl dares to play wooden signs, she will be beaten severely. Come on, let's go to eat. I'm hungry now because of the quarrel early in the morning.
"The three brothers of the Li family threw the pear blossoms on the mourning platform and left the market on horseback. Li An and two slaves guarded the pear blossoms lying on the mourning platform. The onlookers in the market saw the overlords of the Li family.
Only after they were far away did they dare to surround them.
"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you! This is what you will get if you offend the Li family. Go away. If you come forward to join me, I will be rude to you." Li An drove away the crowd coming towards the coffin.
He ordered his house slaves to pick up the half-dead Lihua and put her in a wooden cage on the stage. Lihua was half leaning on the wooden cage, with a wooden sign saying "The most poisonous woman in the world" on the back of her neck. She was in full view of the audience.
The pointing fingers are far more sad than the pain of being injured by Li Long. The tears of humiliation can only be swallowed by oneself...
"General Manager Li, that woman passed out." The slave said to Li An.
"Damn girl, she can't even hold on for an hour. Huh, okay, let me pull her out. The third master said that she can't let her die so easily. It's almost done today and I'll come back to punish her tomorrow." The domestic slave said
Lihua was carried onto the Li family's carriage.
Li An smiled on the mourning platform and said: "For all the men in Yicheng, please go and talk to the neighbors and let us know that there will be a good show to start tomorrow..."
Early the next morning, there were even more people in the market, and the market was completely blocked by spectators. Who wants to make himself uncomfortable for a low-level actor? Anyone with any sense of righteousness would just sigh and refuse to go.
What else can we do besides seeing Lihua being humiliated at the market? When the time passed, the Li family's carriage pulled Lihua onto the coffin platform, forcing her to kneel down to Li Hu's tomb, put a wooden sign in her place, and sing in a wooden cage. The despairing Lihua could only ask for more.
As long as Li Bao could keep his promise, he released Yao Rengui and the others three months later, wiped his tears and started singing. As long as he could save them, Lihua no longer thought it was important to her life or death, but she didn't expect that three months later, the Li family would propose again.
Conditions that make Lihua want to hit her head to death...
