Chapter 138 Revenge
Xia Zihan rubbed his eyes in a daze, sat up, opened the curtain, and asked Hongmei in a low voice, who was on duty at the door, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
There were women's noises and men's cries. It was so chaotic that she couldn't hear it clearly, but the voices sounded like strangers.
"Slave, go out and take a look."
Hongmei hurriedly put on her coat and hurried out.
Zeng was also woken up and sat up, "It's so noisy outside, what's going on?"
"Hongmei went out to take a look. He should be from this village." Xia Zihan said. She got out of bed and hurriedly put on her coat. "Grandma, I'll go out and have a look too."
"He Donglin and the others are here, why are you joining in the fun? It's so late at night, be careful of catching a cold."
"I'll pay attention."
Xia Zihan followed the sound and looked for it.
Under the light of several torches, a large group of people gathered around the outer wall of the backyard of the village chief's house.
Most of these people were villagers who had been awakened and rushed over, including the village chief and his wife. In addition, there was He Donglin and the seven guards who were on guard duty with him at night. Hongmeihuaxiang came later.
When Xia Zihan arrived, she saw a man in his twenties, holding his right leg and rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.
Next to him, a village woman in her thirties sat paralyzed, crying heartbrokenly, her tears falling down as if she wanted no money.
"He Donglin, is this what happened?" Xia Zihan walked over and called out to He Donglin who was talking to Hongmei.
He Donglin's face was full of energy. The moment he saw Xia Zihan, he softened a bit. His eyes flashed and he reported to Xia Zihan thoughtfully, "This kid stayed up in the middle of the night and climbed over the wall to steal something. Fortunately, I was discovered in advance.”
In fact, that boy is the neighbor next door to the village chief's house. He has been idle since he was a child, eating, drinking and having fun, and likes to do some sneaky things.
The villagers called him a scoundrel.
A real scoundrel.
In the evening, he came back from playing outside and happened to see Xia Zihan and a group of girls getting off the carriage and heading towards the village.
Xia Zihan is young and short, and she is used to wearing a veil on her face, so the second-rate son didn't pay attention to her, but Nuanyu, Chu Cong, and Chu Fei around her are all thirteen or fourteen years old. Girl.
The clothes she wears are not inferior to those of the daughters of some wealthy families, and they all look good. In someone's eyes, she is like a fairy.
Er Laizi looked straight at it at that time.
Chu Cong and others also discovered him, but they didn't care. After all, this was their territory, and they had to stay overnight without letting others see him.
Anyway, I am a slave, not as valuable as my master, so I can't let others see my face casually.
Besides, eyes are on people’s heads, and people can see what they want. That’s their freedom.
Even if you are looked at a few times, you will not lose a piece of meat
Therefore, a few people ignored the second-rate guy's spicy gaze.
When Er Laizi returned home, he felt itchy and unbearable, scratching his heart and lungs.
No, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he couldn't help but climb the wall to the village chief's house, hoping to peek at the beautiful woman sleeping. Of course, when it comes to peeping, he still had preliminary plans. If possible, he wouldn't mind if the beauty was in his arms, and he would hold her in one fell swoop. Returned.
However, as soon as he climbed to the top of the wall, before he could jump down, He Donglin regarded him as an assassin and kicked him down.
With that kick, He Donglin didn't save any energy and directly broke the leg bones of the second-rate boy. This was a serious blow, just like poking a hornet's nest. The second-rate boy cried, howled, screamed, and made trouble, and the surrounding villagers were disturbed. They all woke up.
Everyone saw that he was a scoundrel, and because of his temper, the villagers knew that he was a habitual thief. As long as he entered someone's door, even if he was poor, he would not leave empty-handed.
Even if he had just one steamed bun, he wouldn't be too little.
When the villagers saw it was him and looked at a group of distinguished guests dressed like the rich people in the town, did they still not understand?
Therefore, everyone was around to watch the excitement, and no one tried to pull him away. Only the second-rate wife sat slumped next to him, crying with tears in her eyes from fear.
The second son, who was crying happily, was filled with surprise when he saw Xia Zihan, and his crying stopped.
No, it was so amazing that I forgot to cry, and I forgot to continue acting like a rogue.
It wasn't until he was kicked on the shoulder and felt severe pain that Er Laizi woke up from the hallucination of seeing the little fairy.
Blinking, the little fairy did not disappear.
Is that true? The second scoundrel's eyes were shining brightly, and he stared at Xia Zihan fiercely. He Donglin's face turned dark with anger, and he kicked the second scoundrel on the shoulder again.
He didn't save any energy with this kick. He kicked the second-rate boy several times and rolled over before he stabilized his body. Then he heard the second-rate boy yelling, "Oh, my shoulder hurts me to death. I want to die." Oh, help, it hurts.”
Ji Li Gua La, crying in a mess.
"Wow, is there any justice in this? I just wanted to go to my third uncle's house, and I was caught as a thief. It's really unreasonable."
Isn't it too thick-skinned for a scoundrel who is a habitual thief to talk to others about natural principles?
Do you want to save some face?
Did your mother make you so shameless?
"Woooooooo... I'm going to sue the officials. I'm going to arrest you all. My brothers are in the yamen, and none of you can escape."
He was crying and threatening at the same time. He was so arrogant and worthy of the title of second-rate son.
Xia Zihan walked over and stared at him coldly, "If you climb the wall and sneak into my courtyard in the middle of the night, you will be treated as a thief and beaten to death. This girl at the Yamen also has a theory."
As soon as he heard the word "beat to death", Er Laizi's expression immediately changed. He no longer dared to cry or blackmail, let alone blaspheme the little fairy with his lewd eyes.
A person like Er Laizi, who bullies the weak, fears the strong, is greedy and fears death, has already turned into a paper tiger without teeth and claws under the discipline of He Donglin.
"Don't... don't hit me, I... I didn't mean it." He was so frightened that he trembled and quickly begged for mercy, "I just wanted to steal things from my third uncle's house. I didn't know you guys lived here, wuwu …”
It's better to admit that he stole something from the village chief's house than to admit that he peeped at someone else's beauty sleeping. Anyway, he is a well-known thief in the village, and I believe the village chief won't do anything to him.
When the second-rate son's wife heard the word "yamen", her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Spare my life, girl, please don't send my man to the yamen. My man will never dare to do it again next time. I I will definitely take good care of him and never let him steal other people’s things. Please, please let my man go.”
The gate of the government office opens to the south. Don't come in if you have money or not.
Once inside, let alone her poor family, even if the family has a mountain of gold and silver, it is not enough for those vampire officials.
Moreover, it is easy to get in but difficult to get out. Once you enter the Yamen, how can it be so easy to get out?
Although she was a man who liked eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and stealing, he was very kind to her and never hit her once.
The second wife's daughter-in-law really felt sorry for her. Seeing that Xia Zihan didn't speak, she kowtowed and begged her as if she was dead, "I won't dare to do it again next time, please."
"Is there a next time?" Xia Zihan raised his eyebrows.
"No, there will never be a next time." Before the second wife's wife could swear, the second wife was so frightened that she hurriedly made the promise, but her mind was spinning. But when he saw He Donglin's murderous eyes, he was frightened again. He shrank his neck, and the little thoughts in his heart flew away. Xia Zihan snorted coldly and left the place to He Donglin. He was afraid that Mrs. Zeng would worry if he waited for a long time, so he hurried back to the house.
After telling Zeng what happened outside, Xia Zihan climbed into bed, hugged Zeng's arm, and continued to sleep.
Early the next morning, the cook prepared a meal. The ingredients used this time were all bought by Su’s mother from the village chief, including Zeng’s favorite rice porridge, pickles, chicken cakes, and dumplings. White-noodle steamed buns, Xia Zihan’s favorite chicken noodle soup, a plate of plain-cut chicken, and two plates of vegetarian dishes.
Zeng and Xia Zihan ate breakfast in a hurry and returned to the carriage. Before leaving, Xia Zihan gave the village chief another ten taels of silver, "This is the money to rent two rooms."
Last night, because the village chief and his wife were not staying in the West House, Nuanyu and the other girls tidied up, and they all slept in the West House together.
Xia Zihan then gave the village chief an extra ten taels of silver.
In her previous life, she also suffered like the villagers here. She knew that hard times were difficult, so she was very generous and made the village chief almost happy.
From the rewards for renting a house and the money from selling things, he got a total of thirty taels of silver. This was the first time he had seen so much money. It was an amount that his family could save in twenty years.
As for the second-rate son's matter, Xia Zihan didn't ask how He Donglin handled it. However, she believed that He Donglin was a measured person and would not really take the matter to the Yamen.
Although she is not afraid of the Yamen, it is a waste of time, isn't it?
She finds it troublesome.
The motorcade quickly set off and walked slowly towards Yunzhou. On the way, when passing by Ji'an Town, it happened to be midnight, and the motorcade did not stop. However, Xia Zihan later learned that when passing by Ji'an Town, Qi Mei and Qi Mei The two Lan sisters secretly jumped out of the carriage, changed their disguises, went to seek revenge on Pang Yulong, and disabled one of his legs. From then on, they could never leave the house or persecute the people.
Qi Lan later leaked this matter, but Xia Zihan didn't blame them. Pang Yulong really needed a lesson. I heard that because his aunt was protecting him, his uncle couldn't control him. In the past three years, Here, he did a lot of bad things.
He deserved to be crippled for the rest of his life, and Xia Zihan would not be stupid enough to sympathize with him.
A few days later, they arrived in Yunzhou. It was evening and they settled at Yunzhou Station.
Xia Zihan took out the county master's token, and the people at the inn didn't dare to neglect it.
But...
