When Bai Tao returned home after escaping from the Hou family, he became increasingly angry as he thought about it.
Just now he didn't dare to take action against Hou Yao because he felt guilty.
Who knew that Hou Yao could be so cruel that he even dug out one of his own eyes?
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?
So after Bai Tao asked the doctor to take care of his injury, he gathered several famous laziers in the village and returned to the Hou family.
At this time, Bai Tao had already made up his mind to give Hou Yao an unforgettable memory.
Even if he is a scholar, as long as he is beaten to death on the spot,
With his status as the brother-in-law of the county government official, he was able to suppress the matter.
But what Bai Tao didn't expect was that he called Bantianmen outside Hou's house.
Hou Yao didn't come out, but a dark-skinned girl came out of the door.
"Where's Hou Yao? Why didn't he come out himself and let a black-skinned girl come out to die? Did he think that I, a white man, would be soft-hearted?
Let me tell you, today the King of Heaven is here, and I, Bai, will also demand... Hou Yao... blood debt... blood payment..."
By the end of the sentence, Bai Tao's legs were shaking unconsciously.
There was no other reason. Just as he was bragging, all the people he brought had fallen to the ground and were wailing.
There is absolutely no one who can be Yu Xiuer’s enemy.
Come to think of it, they are just a bunch of scoundrels. Apart from bullying the honest people, how much fighting power can we expect from them?
Yu Xiuer did not touch Bai Tao, but deliberately left him at the end. At this time, she walked to Bai Tao step by step:
"What did you say you wanted to do just now? I didn't quite hear you."
Bai Tao had just changed his pants and was so scared that he peed again. Before, it was because Hou Yao was too scary.
Now he felt that this dark-skinned girl might be scarier than Hou Yao.
Yu Xiuer pulled his ear and said:
"Take your people and get out now. After my husband has rested, I will settle the score with you slowly. Get out -"
After saying that, he saw a bright light falling from the sky. Bai Tao was surprised to see that his left wrist had fallen to the ground.
He was still wondering, why was there a hand on the ground?
Blood spurted out from his forearm. Only then did he realize that the white light just broke his forearm.
Suddenly a shocking howl burst out from his pig-like mouth:
"Oh..."
At this time, the other people lying on the ground and screaming were all frightened, and they didn’t know who started it. Everyone fled one after another.
Bai Tao also picked up his severed hand and ran away crawling on the ground.
Yu Xiuer entered the room and closed the door. She went back to the inner room again and saw that Hou Yao had woken up.
The crazy state has disappeared, but his eyes are still a little red. He is sitting on the bedside talking to Zhou Yu,
She found a chair and sat down quietly, listening silently.
Hou Yao asked about what happened at home during this period. After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he shouted softly:
"Mom, I'm a little hungry. You go and cook me some food first. I'll tell Xiu'er something."
Zhou Yu nodded, stood up and said:
"Okay, let's talk. I'm a woman and don't have any ideas, and your father is just a loser.
But Yao'er, he is your father after all, we can't let him stay in jail forever, it will make people laugh."
Hou Yao nodded helplessly:
"Okay, I understand. Mom, go cook quickly. I'm really hungry."
Zhou Yu turned around and glanced at Yu Xiuer:
"Okay, you guys chat, I'm going to cook. Come on, Miss Xiu'er, sit here with me. It's more convenient for you to sit here and talk."
After saying that, he forced Yu Xiuer to sit down on the bed.
Yu Xiuer was quite embarrassed by Zhou Yu's behavior and was too embarrassed to refuse, so she had no choice but to sit down.
After arranging Yu Xiuer's seat, Zhou Yu walked away with small steps.
It wasn't until Zhou Yu left that Hou Yao sighed softly and pulled Yu Xiuer into his arms:
"I'm really sorry for bringing you back. I didn't expect this to happen at home."
Yu Xiuer said apologetically:
"No, no, sir, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't..."
Hou Yao interrupted Yu Xiuer and said:
"No, now you think it's probably you who saved me. There's something weird about this."
Yu Xiuer looked surprised:
"Ah? I saved you instead? What...what does this mean?"
Hou Yao thought deeply:
"It was Bai Tao who suggested renovating my bedroom after the wedding banquet that day.
Originally I thought he wanted to improve the relationship with our family, but now I don’t think so."
"Ah? Why is this?"
"My mother said that Bai Tao led people to the beach that night and saw the shadow of the small black-tailed boat.
This is totally inconsistent with the time when I was taken away by my boss.
Moreover, the location where Laodan stopped the boat was very hidden. When leaving, he did not go out directly to the sea, but walked some distance along the coast before going out to the open sea.
If they had rushed to the beach afterwards, they would never have seen the shadow of our boat."
"Is that... Bai Tao said he was panicking? He didn't even know that you were kidnapped by pirates."
"No, you can't lie about something that is so public. I led people to chase them to the seaside and saw the shadow of the voyage ship.
These must be facts, otherwise we would not be able to deceive so many folks.
Moreover, he was convinced that I had been kidnapped by pirates, so he dared to do this to my parents."
Yu Xiuer said with an incomprehensible look:
"Ms. sir, you just said that it was impossible for him to see the shadow of our ship, and now you say that they saw the shadow of the sailing ship?
I'm confused by what you said, did they see our ship?"
Hou Yao touched Zuo Xiuer's face and said:
"Silly wife, what I mean is that besides Lao Dan, a group of other people also entered the village that day. It should be them that Bai Tao led people to see."
Yu Xiuer panicked and realized:
"You're saying that there was another group of pirates who also came to kidnap you that day, but they arrived a step later than us, right?"
Hou Yao snorted coldly:
"Yes, if this were not the case, none of this would make sense at all. Besides, there are so many coincidences in the world.
Bai Tao is just a liar. Most people don't rush to hide when they encounter pirates. He dares to lead people to chase him. This has already explained some problems.
Think again about where our three small black-tailed boats came from. Bai Tao, Bai Bo. There are not many Bai surnames in Yazhou.
Coupled with the fact that Bai Bo always knows in advance that the Seahorse Gang is about to be surrounded and suppressed, I'm afraid there are some unknown secrets."
Yu Xiuer didn't expect that there would be such a complicated relationship, but she felt that the matter might be a bit serious:
"Mr. Sir, I didn't expect this matter to be so complicated. So what should we do now?"
Hou Yao thought for a while and said:
"My father is imprisoned in the county government prison. Zheng Chong, the magistrate of the county government, is Bai Tao's brother-in-law. I have no friendship with the current county magistrate either.
I'm afraid that I can't get a good deal with the county government, so I can only go to the state government to file a complaint. Mr. Zhizhou is my teacher, so I can gain some connections.
If I give you another big gift, this case will be suppressed. After all, no one was killed, so it can be fooled no matter what.
But I don’t think Bai Tao will let me go, and I don’t want to let Bai Tao go. If he really has something to do with Bai Bo,
In this way, you go back first, and then..."
After the two of them discussed the countermeasures, Zhou Yu had already prepared the meal.
After dinner, Yu Xiuer went back to prepare according to Hou Yao's instructions.
Hou Yao also took Zhou Yu to Yazhou City.
…
Before the Zhou Dynasty, Yazhou had always been a small city with only adobe walls. It was not until the founding of this dynasty that it became
It experienced two major changes, forcing the court to expand the city wall twice.
The first time was when Annan became independent and the court was unable to send a large army for an expedition.
He was also worried that the heart of Nanhai Mansion would be attacked by soldiers, so he could only order the reinforcement of the defenses of the outermost cities.
The second time was when Wang Zhi defeated the Daxia navy and overwhelmed the whole world. The Daxia court was unable to conquer it.
We can only order the reinforcement of the city defenses of the important coastal defense city.
After these two reinforcements, Yazhou City has become one of the three fortified cities in Nanhai Prefecture.
Wei Wei is majestic and has been a place of exile for criminal officials since ancient times.
The cultural heritage of the entire city is comparable to that of famous cities in the Central Plains.
Zhou Yu is just the daughter of an ordinary merchant in Hai County. She has never been to a city like Yazhou.
I was deeply shocked just at the city gate, and even more dazzled after entering the city:
"Yao'er, you should have brought your mother to this city a long time ago. Our family should live in such a lively place.
There are so many people, look, look, that person is wearing silk, right? It’s so beautiful... I wish I could have one too.
Alas, the clothes mom is wearing are too shabby..."
Hou Yao's head grew bigger after hearing this, and he could only smile bitterly:
"Mom, haven't you noticed that others are looking at you?"
Zhou Yu proudly raised his head and said:
"Look what's wrong with me? Although your mother is a bit older, she is also the most beautiful woman in Shiliba Village in Hai County.
Why? Do you still think I am embarrassed?"
Hou Yao covered his face with one hand and wailed in his heart:
It's all because of this damn perverted aesthetic that spoiled a middle-aged woman with a "princess disease" and she couldn't survive this life.
In his previous life, Hou Yao knew that it was impossible to reason with women, especially women who felt good about themselves.
Even more so, I cannot be persuaded by reason. The best way at this time is to change the subject.
There happened to be a clothing store next to it.
Hou Yao is going to visit his master. If he wears clothes that are too shabby, he will inevitably be looked down upon.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, so it is better to buy decent clothes.
Besides, it’s true that my mother hasn’t bought any new clothes in two years, so it’s time to buy her a set.
"Mom, don't you want to buy clothes? There is a tailor shop over there, let's go and have a look."
Zhou Yu's face was confused:
"Son, I heard that the bigger the city, the more expensive the things. How can we have money to buy them?"
Hou Yao pushed Zhou Yu into the clothing store:
"Okay, you can buy it with peace of mind. If your son has money, you can just choose it with peace of mind."
As soon as I entered the shop, a shop owner came up to me:
"You two gentlemen, do you want to see ready-made clothes or buy cloth and order clothes?"
The ready-made clothing store at this time is not the clothing store in Hou Yao's previous life, which sells various styles of ready-made clothes.
The business of a ready-made clothing store can be roughly regarded as a tailor shop dealing in second-hand clothes.
Most of the people who come to this kind of store to buy things are poor people.
Rich people buy cloth and make it themselves, and no one comes to a place like this for second-hand clothes.
But this is also the only place where you can buy ready-made clothes.
If I buy cloth to make new clothes, even if I rush it, it will take at least two or three days, and I simply can’t wait.
"I want to see ready-made clothes. Mom, do you want to see ready-made clothes or custom-made clothes?"
Zhou Yu said unconfidently:
"But... can I order it?"
Hou Yao shook his head and could only show her one tael of broken silver:
