Chapter 4226: Killing relatives for justice
The villagers of Xujia Village had heard about the emergence of Luo Fengtang, a great general who protected the country, and Yang Daan, a champion scholar in Wanghai County a few years ago.
In addition, Xu Dakui and the Lu family recently recognized their daughter. The daughter was actually married by this prominent adoptive family. Da'an personally came to visit Xu Dakui, the father-in-law, and the Lu family even rushed to tell each other. The momentum was He is made greater than anyone else.
Xu Dakui has been walking in the village recently, his waist straighter than anyone else, and he doesn't even look down on the upright people in Xujia Village.
So now everyone has no doubts about Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang's self-reported identities.
"This is five hundred coins. I will buy some food for the children and the elderly during the Chinese New Year."
"Xu Dakui maliciously got my brother drunk with wine. My brother vomited blood and refused to save me. He beat my sister-in-law. This is It's very disrespectful to the imperial officials."
"Now that he has fled in fear of crime, if the villagers see any traces of him, please don't alert him and go to this place in the county immediately. We will find a man named Xu Mang to report this matter. If Xu Dakui is caught later, he will be rewarded heavily.” There will be jail time, and the future of the children will be damaged!"
For more than 20 households, Yang Ruoqing's words were the same, with almost no missing words.
And when these people first met a big shot like Luo Fengtang, they were all in awe and fear.
Especially the few villagers who also participated in the drinking ceremony were even more panicked.
But Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang only targeted Xu Dakui, which made them lucky.
Plus seeing the five hundred coins falling from the sky, this combination of kindness and power, do they have any other choice?
So, some happily accepted the money, determined to provide information before others discovered Xu Dakui and get more silver rewards.
And some people are related to Xu Dakui, and they don't want to offend Xu Dakui out of affection, but they don't want to be implicated by Xu Dakui.
So I just hope that Xu Dakui will never return to the village. If he does go back to the village... Well, then don't blame them for killing their relatives out of justice!
...
After the matter was settled, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang left Xujiacun overnight.
Their original intention was to bribe them to be informants so that they could provide information, but they did not expect that a brave man would be found with a lot of money.
Many villagers, stimulated by money, are no longer content to sit at home and wait for Xu Dakui to show up.
Except for the elderly and children who stayed at home to prepare for the New Year, almost all the adults brought dry food and water and spontaneously went out to look for Xu Dakui.
They plan to take the initiative to find Xu Dakui.
Of course, they still concealed it from each other, and they all used the excuse of going out to buy new year's goods or visiting relatives and friends.
Everyone is competing secretly, trying to find Xu Dakui's whereabouts before others, so that they can get the big reward.
Make a fortune and reach the pinnacle of life, give it a try here!
Of course, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were not aware of the changes they had brought to Xujiacun after their departure.
During breakfast the next morning, Daan was able to sit at the table and eat two small steamed buns in addition to porridge.
He has never had a big appetite. The fact that he can eat so much shows that he is recovering well.
My complexion is also a little better. Yang Ruoqing sees it in her eyes and feels happy in her heart.
I just hope that all the troubles and bad luck my brother has had can be vented because of this experience a year ago. When the new year comes, everything goes well, good health, and safe travels!
“Let’s get on the carriage after we’ve eaten and drank. We should be able to get home by the afternoon.” Yang Ruoqing said.
Daan smiled and nodded. Xiaohua raised her hand and touched her face. Although the swelling had subsided, it was still a little red, and the damaged corner of her eye was still recovering from scars.
The little flower’s eyes showed worry...
Yang Ruoqing said: "The matter has come to this, and we can't hide it. Don't worry about it. It's better for us to explain it to our parents openly and honestly."
Xiaohua smiled bitterly.
Yang Ruoqing said again: "If you lie, you can indeed cover up what happened this time. However, one lie will be rounded off by another lie. When the time comes, the lies will come one after another, and a long series will appear. Very tiring.”
“And when the lie is exposed. On that day, what you lose is your family's trust in you. At that time, no matter what you do, your family will be worried."
"Even if you really do everything well, they will still be worried. They will all be used to feeling that you report good things but not bad things.”
"So, we must tell the truth!"
After listening to Yang Ruoqing's solemn words, Xiaohua fell silent.
Luo Fengtang was the first to respond: "What your sister said makes sense, please listen more."
Yang Ruoqing glanced at him, her eyes wanting to laugh.
Can you stop protecting me like this everywhere? Still shy!
Daan also immediately expressed his position: "Well, my brother-in-law is right, and I also think my sister's analysis is reasonable, so let's tell the truth. This matter will have to be faced sooner or later."
"Xiaohua, Don't be too burdened. Your biological father is your biological father, and you are your biological father. Your parents will not express their anger at you. I will only feel sorry for you even more!"
Xiaohua looked guilty, "I don't dare to expect my parents to feel sorry for me more. I just hope to draw a clear line with the Xu family from now on, and we will never interact with each other again. "
"Not only that," Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiaohua.
"You and Da'an suffered this crime for no reason. You can't let it go like this. Your biological father must come over to make amends. He must learn a lesson!" Yang Ruoqing said again.
Xiaohua smiled bitterly, "When I think of his fierce look at that time, I tremble all over, as if I was back when I was a child."
"He beat me and my mother like this. If he hadn't been so cruel, My mother will not be angry to death by him, and I will not be too scared to stay in that home..."
Xiaohua's tears fell, and her shoulders shook slightly.
Yang Ruoqing knew that Xiaohua had a shadow from her childhood.
No matter how powerful a person becomes as an adult, any shadow of childhood will be hidden deep in the heart.
It will suddenly appear at certain times, or when she dreams back in the middle of the night, or when she is sick and vulnerable, destroying her current toughness to pieces, allowing her to return to the fragile child she was back then...
So every time when Xiaohua talks about Xu Dakui, this little person who in Yang Ruoqing's eyes is like a flea, like a bug that can be easily crushed to death, is so terrifying in Xiaohua's eyes, like a mountain that weighs her down and makes her unable to breathe. .
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and held Xiaohua's hand, "Don't be afraid, things are different now. You are Daan's wife now, our younger brother and sister, and a member of our family. We will protect you. Don’t be afraid of anything!”
Da'an also stretched out his hand to hold Xiaohua's other hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely earn a life for you and come back. When the time comes, your biological father and stepmother will have to kneel down and salute you!"
