937, the original partner who refused to give up the position twenty-seven
No matter whether Hu Qili shouted for help or begged for mercy, the person who beat him never showed any mercy.
There were four or five people surrounding him. This place is still three miles away from the town. It is a place with no village or shop. There are few people around. It is getting late now. When it is almost dawn, some people may go to Fucheng.
Zhong sells vegetables, at this time... no one will come even if their throats are broken.
Hu Qili protected his head and felt that these people seemed to want to beat him to death.
Thinking of death, he suddenly became panicked and shouted: "If this eldest brother wants money or something, we can discuss it. Let's discuss it... Discuss it..."
After hearing this, several people really stopped.
For a moment, Hu Qili didn't know whether to be happy or sad about his wallet. At this time, his whole body ached, his eyes were swollen, and he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly.
Someone said in a rough voice: "Take fifty taels and we will let you go."
Hu Qili: "...can it be cheaper?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fists and kicks came to his body again.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Hu Qili was in great pain. Of course, life was more important than money, so he hurriedly agreed.
Someone kicked him bitterly: "We will go back with you to get it! Don't play tricks, our brothers are all desperadoes, and there are still a few lives on hand. If you dare to play tricks, some of our brothers will die."
I used to hold you back."
They say those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Hu Qili wanted to survive, but he was the one wearing shoes at this time. He said hurriedly: "Don't dare, I won't do any tricks."
Under the moonlight, several people were holding him between them, all with their faces covered. Hu Qili couldn't see their faces, but even if he could, he couldn't see clearly at this time.
The bullock cart soon entered the town, and someone reached out to cover his mouth, and a slender cool thing was placed on his waist. As the bullock cart bumped, it still hurt a little when it hit him.
Even without looking, Hu Qili knew what it was. He immediately stiffened up, fearing that he would be hurt by a knife like flesh.
When he arrived at the door of Hu's house, two people escorted him in together.
Hu Qili himself has no money, but he knows that Zhou Roulan does. Since her cabinet was broken open, no one knows where she hides her money.
At this point, Hu Qili regretted bringing the gangster into his home, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't just be beaten to death outside the town, right?
Feeling regretful, Hu Qili could only hope that these people would get the money and be willing to leave: "I don't have the money, so I have to wake up my wife. But she is pregnant, and I'm afraid of scaring her..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" One of them kicked his calf impatiently: "Get the money quickly, otherwise, your whole family's life will be in danger."
The tone was so cold that Hu Qili was really frightened and hurriedly went to the bed to push Zhou Roulan's body.
In fact, although Zhou Roulan went to bed early tonight, Hu Qili didn't come back, so she still couldn't sleep well. After hearing the door outside open and the sound of chaotic footsteps coming in, she felt even more uneasy, so she simply closed it
Pretending to sleep.
When I heard threats from several people in the room, I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Roulan has seen a lot of the world in Fucheng for ten years. But the women who usually interact with her are all women who talk about yin and yang, and the most cruel one is the lady who will drink her the soup to avoid her son. Like this, he comes up with a knife and robs her openly.
This was the first time she had seen a bad guy.
Another person said fiercely: "Hurry up and wake me up. These brothers are not sympathetic people. Don't let us wake up. When the time comes... hehe..."
The laughter at the end was full of obscenity.
Hu Qili was shocked. He had accepted Zhou Roulan as his concubine for a long time. Later, when Zhou Roulan interacted with him, she was with Mr. Gao Er. Now that he thought about it, it was still hard to accept. If she was bullied by these two thieves again...
It’s hard to accept just thinking about it.
At that moment, without any further hesitation, he stepped forward to push the person away.
Zhou Roulan wanted to pretend that she couldn't wake up, but she heard what the two people said just now. If she didn't wake up, she would either be chopped down or ruined. She couldn't accept either of these two. No matter how reluctant she was, she could only
Awake.
She was quite thoughtful, and when she woke up she asked in a confused voice: "What are you doing?"
Pretend you just woke up.
"Get the money." Hu Qili's heart was almost bleeding as he said these three words.
Although Zhou Roulan hid the money she had on hand and refused to give him flowers, she would always give flowers to her children if she could, right?
Giving it to a child is equivalent to giving it to him.
Zhou Roulan was still pretending: "What kind of money do you need in the middle of the night? Besides, haven't I spent all my money on you? Go to bed quickly. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow..."
Before he finished speaking, a chill ran down his neck, and a cold voice sounded in his ears: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
Zhou Roulan was shocked, really shocked. She said tremblingly, "What are you doing...Brother, be careful with your knife."
The two of them were a little impatient: "Hurry up and get the money!"
Zhou Roulan couldn't pretend anymore, got up and went to the corner, took the vase, reached in and took it out.
Inside were her last two 10-tael silver notes. The more anxious the person was, the more unable she was to take them out. The person who put the knife on her neck became more and more impatient. He tightened his hand and the blade cut the delicate skin. Zhou Roulan
I only felt a pain in my neck, and a warm feeling flowed down my neck.
She almost screamed.
The knife tightened, and the man said darkly in her ear: "If you scream, our two brothers won't survive, and you won't survive either."
The two of them controlled the husband and wife respectively, and another person came in from outside and rummaged through the house with the help of a weak candlelight. All valuable things that were seen were swept into the baggage.
Zhou Roulan's heart aches and bleeds. She does like silver, but what she likes most is jewelry. Especially those who make all kinds of jewelry with precious stones, which can be exchanged for silver at any time!
When she saw several people opening the hidden compartments of her dressing table and sweeping away all the bracelet leaves inside, she finally cried.
As soon as I started crying, I felt another pain in my neck, and the blood that had stopped flowing started to flow down my neck again.
Again, no matter how important money is, it is not as important as life. Zhou Roulan immediately did not dare to say anything.
The three of them rummaged through the house and tidied it up carefully. They also took away Zhou Roulan's Su embroidered handkerchief.
Zhou Roulan was so heartbroken that she never expected them to be so knowledgeable. No matter how unwilling she was, she did not dare to say a word when the knife was placed on her neck.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them each carried a baggage and left.
After surviving the disaster, the couple realized that a layer of cold sweat had formed on their backs and their inner shirts were already wet.
After a few breaths, Hu Qili finally found his voice and coughed lightly.
This cough seemed to wake up Zhou Roulan from her frightened dream. After she reacted, she stretched out her hand to hit Hu Qili: "Are you stupid? How could you bring a thief home? You died outside, don't bring him back.
.My jewelry, my silver, my Suzhou embroidered handkerchief...wuwuwu..."
She almost burst into tears. Hu Qili came back to his senses and felt a little guilty. He ran out the door in a few steps and said: "I'll close the door!"
Not only the door into the backyard, but also the door to the shop in front was open. When Hu Qili got to the front, before he even got close, he saw five people standing next to the bullock cart dividing the stolen goods. He had been threatened all the way just now, and he was almost scared several times.
After urinating, Hu Qili subconsciously hid in the shadows, planning to wait until they left before bringing the cow in and closing the door.
The surroundings were quiet, and Hu Qili's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Amidst the tension, he heard several people outside talking in low voices.
A voice asked: "Are you sure you have finished taking it?"
"It's all done. Master ordered us. Of course we have to do our best. I have collected a lot of materials... You can't see them at this time. You can touch them and you will know."
"As long as the search is over, let's leave quickly."
"If the search is not completed, will the master blame me?"
"Just take the bulk. The master doesn't lack these things. He just wants to take revenge on the couple. If he dares to deceive the master, he will be given a beating and it will be easier for him."
…
Hu Qili stood in the shadow, his whole body stiff, and he felt that his hands and feet were no longer his.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he came back to his senses. He raised his eyes and looked outside, feeling so angry that his heart, liver and lungs ached.
His bullock cart...only one cart is left.
The most valuable thing in the bullock cart is the cow. How many taels of silver can it be sold for?
He raised his hand and closed the door, covering his chest and returned to the backyard. He originally thought that Mr. Gao Er was angry and left, so he just left. Unexpectedly, he would find someone to take revenge!
Hu Qili closed the door all the way and returned to the main room.
In the house, Zhou Roulan was cleaning up the messed up house. She was crying while doing so. When she saw him coming in, she started scolding again: "Are you stupid? I think you are a fool. How could you bring a thief into your home? They
It's okay if you're just asking for money, but if you kill someone, your mother's family and I will have to be buried with you. It doesn't matter if you want to die yourself, don't hold us back!"
Hu Qili's chest heaved with anger. Hearing these words she read, he couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her away.
Zhou Roulan screamed, covering her face with disbelief: "How dare you?"
She knew that Hu Qili would beat his wife. The first time Lin Xuniang wanted to leave was because of Hu Qili's coldness and fists. But she calculated that Lin Xuniang would stay and wanted Hu Qili to "accidentally" beat him to death. But she
I never thought that one day his fist would be aimed at me.
Zhou Roulan was stunned by the slap.
Hu Qili was furious: "Why do you think they didn't rob others but me? They are people sent by the second master, you scourge!"
