Early in the morning, with the sound of the first drum, the gate of Luoye City slowly opened.
As in the past, many people entering the city were crowded at the city gate. Some carried burdens and went to the city to do small business, some couldn't help but borrow money from rich relatives in the city, and some were hungry and wanted to make a living in the city.
.
"Don't push anyone. My military master's whip doesn't recognize anyone who pushes forward."
Shentu shouted loudly, and the whip in his hand made an explosion in the air.
Today is the same as usual, there is nothing surprising. Among the people waiting to enter the city, there is no one who seems to be able to squeeze out the oil and water. And those who are truly wealthy, Shentu does not dare to oppress too hard, and they have nothing to do with the nobles in the city.
If there is any connection, just pass a note and your job will be lost.
Three small traders came from a distance, one selling straw sandals, one selling mung beans, and one selling pork.
"These are the straw sandals you knitted." Shentu asked. When he saw the other person's face, an inexplicable sadness surged up. He thought of his bumpy career and the years of being bullied by superior officials.
"The craftsmanship is good, do a good job."
Originally, Shentu wanted to take two pairs of straw sandals from the other party, but somehow he gave up the idea and even gave the other party a few words of encouragement.
Three small traders sneaked into the city.
Not long after, a young man came from the north. He was sitting on a tall horse, with a spear resting on it, and in front of the horse was a woman leading the horse.
What he hates the most is such rich children, who just rely on a few people to collect money and go around drinking and making trouble. But this kind of person is the one Shen Tu dares not offend the most. He didn't even dare to cross-examine him, so he let him into the city.
Another strong man came to sell firewood. He was so good-looking that he stood in front of him like an iron tower.
"What are you doing?"
Before Shentu could cross-examine, he was shouted at by the other party. He was startled, and then he bravely said: "I want to ask you what's wrong, why are you so mean, and how is King Toad? He wasn't caught last night.
Okay, okay, let’s go in.”
Then, at the gate of the city came another brother who had come to the city to sell tricks, Orion Xiao Zhao... Shentu wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly felt a little tired.
Everything is going as usual today, but why does it feel like something is wrong? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many people entering the city in winter.
Those who do small business, the young master on horseback, the strong man carrying firewood, the brother who sells handles, and the hunter Xiao Zhao... After these people entered the city, they walked around in a circle, and finally entered the bottom of the lake through the back door to fish.
"military adviser!"
Liu Guanzhang who does small business, the young master Lin Shaoyu, the little white wolf who leads the horse, Qin Man who carries firewood, the high-flying tiger and high-flying leopard who sell tricks, the hunter Zhao Zilong...
Xu Shenji waved his hand: "How many people came to the village?"
"Including us, there are more than fifty people sneaking into the city today." Liu Bei said: "Manager Huang is in charge of the village. Two thousand brothers who can fight in the village are ready, using the fireworks as a signal. As long as we decide to take action, the brigade can be ready at any time.
Come and kill."
"Okay!" Xu Shenji said excitedly: "Tonight we will take action, smash the prison and rescue the boss."
"If the master is willing to risk his life to borrow food for us, we will go through fire and water for him." Xiong Daxiong said.
"Slow, slow." Liu Bei glanced at Xiong Daxiong Er. He didn't expect that these two brothers could say such words as "go through fire and water": "This is just the worst plan. I think the prison must be heavily guarded.
Even if we can rescue the boss, many brothers will definitely die. Besides, we don’t know anything about the situation in the prison, so we can’t act rashly."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Xu Shenji didn't sleep all night last night and was busy sharpening his knife. After all, his knife was already hungry and thirsty.
"I had already thought about it on the way here. We should first send people to investigate the environment around the prison, and also send people to protect the Miss Su family. Of course, the military advisor must have thought of these things that I have thought of."
"..." Xu Shenji paused, held his beard and said, "That's natural, I'm just about to arrange for someone to do it."
"The most important thing is..." Liu Bei said: "We can't let the boss suffer in prison."
Among the bandits in Toad Village, there is no shortage of people who have been in prison. According to what they said: The prison in Luoye City is known as the living people enter and the dead come out. There are eighteen kinds of torture instruments inside, all of which are complete. Once inside, you will have to be delaminated even if you don't die.
Skin. Not to mention other things, the food in it is not even as good as pig food. Brush the pot with water and add a handful of bran to make prison food. Other sand, iron nails, and nose snot can be found in prison food.
Thinking of this, Xu Shenji suddenly felt a little sore in his nose: "How can the master tolerate this? We must rescue him as soon as possible."
…
Today is the day of Su Sihai's funeral. Many people in the city came to pay their respects. When everyone saw Li Ru, who was wearing mourning clothes and wearing pear blossoms in the rain, they all thought: Su Sihai was so beautiful and blessed during his lifetime.
However, everyone was a little surprised. For a rich man like Su Sihai, he should be suspended for at least seven or forty-nine days after his death and ask monks and Taoists to perform three rituals. Why did Su Sihai fail to pass the first seven and was sent out?
Of course, everyone was just thinking about this idea in their hearts. If the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, no one will stand up for Su Sihai at this time.
After a lot of work, Li Ru returned home at night. As soon as he returned to his room, he couldn't wait to take off his mourning clothes.
She was only wearing close-fitting clothing, with her arms and thighs exposed to the air. The weather was a bit cold, but Li Ru felt cool all over.
In my thirty-six years of life, I have never experienced such coolness.
When I was young and poor, my parents who could not achieve anything naturally had little preference for me. Other people's daughters would wear new clothes while I would wear old ones. Others would wear flowers and tie ropes by myself. Only the eldest brother would buy a piece of candy for himself with his hard-earned money.
point.
Li Ru knew from a young age that she had nothing behind her, and the only thing God gave her was her good looks.
She was sold to Hanako at the age of thirteen and was dispossessed that year. After that, she was passed on to several wealthy families.
Looking at her beautiful face, she is more delicate than a pear blossom in March, but who knows that her back is already riddled with holes.
When she was eighteen years old, she fell into the hands of Su Sihai. Being a concubine was like being a slave, and even the servants and cooks dared to look down on her. She was not good enough, and she did not leave Su Sihai a son. She could not be more valuable than her son.
He lived like this until he was thirty-six.
Nowadays, everyone in the Su family wants to call me "Madam". No one can compete with me for the wealth and the thousands of acres of fertile land.
If there is a bright moon in her apricot eyes, she has never been as charming as she is today.
Maybe it's because she has the entire Su family in her eyes at this moment...
I no longer have nothing, and I no longer have to rely on others.
At thirty-six, she could raise her head and take a deep breath of the cool and biting air.
