That year, because she was pregnant with twins, she was in pain for a whole day and night without giving birth to the child. Zhao Shan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, holding her hand and crying.
She couldn't bear to leave Zhao Shan, so she tried her best to let the two children be born.
He said that he would never let her suffer like this again and that the family of four could live a good life. She couldn't bear to let him work too hard. It didn't matter if he ate bran-thick vegetables, as long as he was safe and sound.
He was hard-working and she also helped the embroidery shop with some small jobs, and their lives were getting better and better.
But the imperial court was hunting down the remnants of the traitors everywhere, and if they were found... She didn't dare to think about the consequences. He thought about it all night, and finally made up his mind to move his family to the northwest to seek a life. Although the place was barren and the road was bumpy, but
The imperial court would recruit refugees for farming purposes, and they would also have the opportunity to obtain household registration, so they would no longer have to run around like this.
Just as they were passing by Fengxiang, she looked at the two children and thought of her mother, wanting to go back and visit.
But she didn't say anything, for fear that her extravagant request would lead to misfortune, but he saw it in his eyes and quietly asked someone to send a letter to his eldest brother to bring him back.
Under the light, the brother and sister met with tears in their eyes, and he was leaning against the door with a smile on his face.
The eldest brother quietly brought her and the children into Cao's house. The mother was waiting anxiously in the house. When she entered the door, she knelt at her mother's feet. He also knelt down with her, taking all the blame for the elopement on himself.
Everything was not as terrible as she thought. Her mother scolded her a few words and said that she had broken off the engagement for her. Now that she was in this situation, she could take her children and leave with Zhao Shan. Her mother had prepared expenses for her. The three of them
The sister-in-law prepared a lot of clothes for the children overnight and asked her to settle down in the northwest and find a way to send a letter home. They cried together for a long time, feeling happy and sad. They were happy that the family was willing to accept Zhao Shan, but sad that they had to accept Zhao Shan.
separation.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law all praised Zhao Shan to her. If it weren't for Zhao Shan, they might all be reunited on Huangquan Road. Some of the female relatives captured in the city died in very miserable conditions. After the rebels played with them, they killed them naked.
Hang it on a tree and burn it to death.
Zhao Shan sat on the threshold and remained silent. Even though he had saved people, he still felt that he could not wash away his sins. If he could do it all over again, he would never join the rebels in Zhaojiacun.
At that time, Zhao Shan thought that the rebels were just asking for help for the people, and they would stop as long as the court agreed to open a warehouse for relief. However, he never thought that everything was not that simple. The leader of the rebels, Zhao Chong, was ambitious and wanted to overthrow the court and become a grassroots emperor.
After the rebels entered Fengxiang City, they burned, killed and looted everywhere. Seeing how brutal the rebels were, he completely felt like betraying him. He was about to sneak away from the rebels quietly, but unexpectedly he met the injured Mr. Cao Si.
He rescued Mr. Cao Si and prepared to find another opportunity to leave.
At that time, the rebels were searching the Cao family. Mr. Cao was afraid that the secret passage where his women were hiding would be discovered, so he stepped forward to attract the attention of the rebels. However, he was besieged by the rebels. Zhao Shan wanted to rescue him but it was too late. Cao Shan
On his deathbed, the fourth master entrusted Zhao Shan to help him protect the Cao family, and Zhao Shan also kept his promise and saved the Cao family's female family members from danger several times, and finally kept the entire Cao family safe.
She saw all this, and in her heart Zhao Shan was the best and most trustworthy man. However, Zhao Shan felt that without this rescue, he might never be able to forgive himself for being a rebel, and would kill himself if he couldn't.
To apologize, he did not regard himself as a benefactor of the Cao family, but was grateful to the Cao family for bringing him out of the sea of suffering.
Things are still perfect up to this point, and they are still loving, righteous, and living people.
If she and Zhao Shan left the Cao family and headed to the northwest, no one would go to hell and become evil spirits.
But life is like this, and she will not be given another chance to choose.
That day, Mr. Cao brought back news that the imperial court pardoned some of the rebels' capital crimes and released them to the frontier as military households. This move showed that the imperial court would not involve too many people in this matter.
Mr. Cao has become an official, and he wants to come forward to testify for Zhao Shan. Zhao Shan not only escaped from the rebels, but also took risks to save others.
Zhao Shanben was not a well-known general among the rebels. Even if the court still punished him, it would not be too severe. Although he would have to suffer some pain, he would not have to run around covertly.
Zhao Shan didn't want her to leave her hometown with him. If she couldn't obtain household registration, the two children would never raise their heads in this life. He decided to stay in the Cao family and let Mr. Cao continue to inquire about the news to see if it was possible to escape the crime.
It was at this time that Mr. Cao had people clean up the secret passage and found that the soil had been disturbed and something had been buried in the secret passage. Mr. Cao and Mr. Cao dug out the things together. They were some heavy objects.
The box contained stamped tax money.
After the rebels rebelled, they robbed a batch of tax money. The court has been tracing the whereabouts of this money. The court suspected that the rebels took the money away when they fled Fengxiang, but they captured Zhao Chong but did not see the money.
There were no traces of him, and during subsequent interrogations, no solid clues were ever found.
Finally, not long ago, Zhao Chong confessed that someone had colluded with him and hid the money. The rebels would rise again in the future, and they would use the money to recruit troops and one day chop off the head of the Dog Emperor.
Whoever the money appears in is the person who colluded with Zhao Chong.
Everyone felt that disaster was slowly coming to the Cao family.
Zhao Shan rescued people, and the Cao family covered up Zhao Shan's whereabouts, making it difficult to explain the relationship between the Cao family and the rebels. If the incident had happened more than a year ago, there would have been a chance to defend himself, but the court has been pursuing it for so long... The money is with Cao Shan
When the family appeared, who would believe that the Cao family didn't know anything about it.
After all, the Cao family gained a lot from the battle in Fengxiang, and several of the Cao family's men and women survived. Besides, this secret passage was originally their hiding place.
Moreover, Mr. Cao discovered that the appearance of Zhao Shan and Yinzi coincided with Zhao Chong's statement.
Could this money have been buried by Zhao Shan? Perhaps Zhao Shan did not want to leave the rebels, but saw that the situation was over and wanted to find ways to hide it secretly.
When everyone began to doubt Zhao Shan, her defense of Zhao Shan seemed feeble.
Zhao Shantan was frank and did not avoid the matter, let alone escape. He told the story of saving the Cao family over and over again. He believed that the Cao family would eventually understand that what he said was the truth until the last moment...
Everything happened so suddenly, falling like a storm on their family of four.
All the Cao family members appeared in the dark night and tied her and Zhao Shan tightly. She looked at Zhao Shan in panic, but Zhao Shan gave her a comforting look. At that time, Zhao Shan still believed that the Cao family members could distinguish right from wrong.
.
However, it was only then that she realized that the relatives around her were all evil spirits.
They broke Zhao Shan's fingers.
It was the same hand that pulled the Cao family out of the secret passage one by one. It was also the same hand that held weapons and escorted them out of danger.
They hit Zhao Shan on the back with wooden sticks.
There are still scars left on that generous back to protect the Cao family, and she feels heartbroken every time she sees them.
She also lay on his back and ran away with him on the road.
But now they are being brutally tortured.
"Everyone wants to live. I understand your... thoughts. You are afraid of being implicated and afraid of being convicted by the court," Zhao Shan said with great pain. Maybe he wanted to forgive the Cao family, or maybe he wanted to motivate himself.
, cannot give up until the last moment, because he still has a wife and a pair of children, and he must survive, "But you believe me once... This matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't know why someone hid the money here...
...Zhao Chong might just be talking nonsense... If he really knew the whereabouts of the silver, he would have asked someone to pick it up long ago. Why would he wait until now?
Even if the court catches me one day, I would rather die than betray you. I will only say... I robbed Er Niang."
His eyes were full of sadness, and he could see from the faces of each individual that these were the people he had protected to the death, and now he wanted to get a way out of their hands.
"Let me survive...I still have children to take care of."
But the Cao family didn't believe it, so they finally covered her hands with bamboo pieces. After hearing her screams, Zhao Shancai began to struggle and screamed: "She is your sister, you can't do this, please, kill her."
Kill me, kill me and everything will be over. No one will know. You have never seen Zhao Shan, and Zhao Shan has never saved you. Let Zhao Shan disappear completely."
Zhao Shan was right, the Cao family did not want to let him live anymore.
In times of crisis, Zhao Shan's life was too light and inconspicuous compared to the lives of everyone in the Cao family.
"It's worth using his life in exchange for our whole family."
does it worth?
Mrs. Xu San thought of this and smiled slightly. How could a group of beasts have such a life?
At this point, they had decided to kill him, but they still refused to let him go easily. They also wanted to torture Zhao Shan to see if anyone else knew the secret.
Mr. Cao used a knife to disembowel Zhao Shan.
She watched helplessly as the husband she loved wholeheartedly vomited out blood, and his eyes were always looking at her. There was no pain or hatred in them, only intolerance and concern.
How did he do that.
He knew that if he showed any discomfort, she would be hit even harder.
Your heart is like my heart, and my heart is like your heart.
He knew that after witnessing all this, she would definitely go crazy and hateful, which would make the Cao family kill her. Only his calmness could comfort her a little.
At the last moment, he was still thinking about her.
He looked at her closely, his eyes locked together, not letting her see his miserable state.
His blood flowed out and his organs fell to the ground. He looked at his wife reluctantly and then closed his eyes.
Mrs. Xu San reached out her hand to wipe the tears from her face.
From the moment he died, she had only one thought, and that was to avenge him, so she struggled and held on to the hem of her mother's skirt, just to survive.
She even admitted that Zhao Shan deserved to die, and Zhao Shan was not as good as her family.
She has survived until now just to let the Cao family feel the pain of Zhao Shan one day.
