It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 351 To Dream
"But someone robbed your home on the wedding night?" Mu Liuyun was taken aback when she heard this. At first she thought that such a thing was unlikely to happen, but after experiencing the massacre in Yuyong County, she Still couldn't help asking.

"If that's the case, I don't need to bother the two adults to come to my Nanshun County." County Magistrate Wang shook his head with a bitter face, "The Liao family was calm on the night of the wedding, and no one found anything. strange.

This matter has to be discussed from the beginning, the two adults have tea, let me tell you two slowly. "

Mu Liuyun nodded hastily, and Wang Xiu cast his eyes on the noncommittal Yuan Mu, and seeing that he had no objection, he began to tell the whole story to the two of them.

Everyone in Nanshun County knows the family status of the Liao family who brought the bride into the house. The head of the family, Liao Jingxian, is a scholar. He raised his son, who was obsessed with poetry and books on weekdays, and had high hopes. The whole family believed that he would be able to pass high school at a younger age than his father, and he might even be a Jinshi.

The groom's family background and himself are outstanding, and the bride's family is also well-known in Nanshun County.

The bride's family name is Tang, and the family has lived in Nanshun County for generations. The family has a hundred acres of fertile land and several shops.And the married bride is the second daughter of Tang Wanchen, the patriarch of this generation. Her maiden name is Tang Wanxin, and she is also famous for her beautiful appearance.

Tang Wanchen, Tang Yuanwai and Liao Jingxian were classmates when they were young. When they were studying together in the academy, they had a deep friendship and like-mindedness. But later, Liao Jingxian was like a godsend in studying and taking exams. It took two exams to pass the Juren examination, and two more general examinations after winning the exam, but they failed to pass the Jinshi exam.

When he failed the exams repeatedly, his close friend from back then had already been appointed an official in Guozixue. Disappointed, Tang Wanchen gave up the exams, abandoned his studies and went into business, and helped his family take care of the land. And business went.

So these two former friends, one became an official and then resigned, opened an academy to train students to recruit talented people, and the other devoted himself to business management. After more than ten years of work, the wealth accumulated by the family from generation to generation has increased a lot, and they have become the famous wealthy businessman Tang. outside the staff.

Just when the two families seemed to be drifting away and there was not much intersection, Master Liao suddenly wrote a letter and sent it to the Tang family, asking if Tang Yuanwai still remembered the agreement they had made back then. Make your children into marriage.

Master Liao also mentioned in the letter that his eldest son has not yet married, and he heard that the Tang family also has a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet. If they are still willing to abide by the agreement of the year, the two families can find someone to join together and discuss the marriage.

Member Tang was very surprised. He didn't expect that after many years, an old friend would suddenly bring up this old story. Thinking about it again, in a place like Nanshun County, there are very few scholarly families like the Liao family, let alone the Liao family. The eldest son, Liao Wenbai, is also promising. The outside world says that he will go to high school in one fell swoop and become a star, which is just around the corner.

From this point of view, such a good son-in-law is indeed hard to find even with a lantern. If you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

After all, Tang Yuanwai has been in business for many years, and after budgeting, he quickly decided that this is a cost-effective marriage, so he immediately wrote back to the Liao family, and not long after, the Liao family invited a matchmaker to come to the door, after the marriage, the engagement, and the choice wedding date.

On the auspicious day that had been set long ago, the bride was carried into the gate of the Liao family in a sedan chair amidst the noise of gongs and drums. The Liao family even had a big banquet with guests, and the banquet did not completely dissipate until near midnight.

The day before, because the eldest son married a wife, Mr. Liao would inevitably be poured a few more drinks by relatives and friends who came to the banquet. In addition, he was not good at drinking, so he was defeated before the third round, and was helped back to the room by the servants at home to rest. The groom greets the guests alone.

In the early morning of the next day, Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao woke up early, waiting for their son and bride to offer tea to the old couple. They waited and waited but couldn’t wait. At first they thought it was because the young couple slept late and got up late, so they understood. He didn't ask anyone to remind him.

But she waited and waited, no matter how long she waited, she couldn't wait for anyone to come. Seeing the sun rising, Madam Liao was furious. She was not satisfied with marrying a merchant's daughter, and now she felt that the new daughter-in-law didn't understand the rules Chong Chong sent someone to call for the door, but after a while the woman came back and said that no matter how hard she knocked on the door, even if she slammed the door panel, there was no answer.

The mother-in-law ran out of ideas and didn't dare to take any further actions rashly, so she had to run back and report to the mistress.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liao felt strange, so she hurriedly led someone there, and asked someone to knock open the door of the new house, only to find that the inside was empty, except for a slight wrinkle on the side of the bed, as if someone had sat on it, and the bedding was all shattered. It is neat and tidy, never passive.

Mrs. Liao was a little flustered when she saw this scene, and hurriedly asked the servants in the house to search for someone in the yard. After a lot of fuss, no one in the whole family could find the new couple.

Both Master Liao and Mrs. Liao panicked. They gathered all the servants in the house together and asked them when they had seen the young master and the young lady. There are many details, but no one can answer them.

Mrs. Liao wanted to report to the government to find someone. Master Liao was afraid that if there were any other secrets, he would not ruin the reputation of the two families, so he secretly sent someone to contact the Tang family to ask if the Tang family knew about it.

The Tang family was quite surprised when they heard about this, but they also didn't know where the new couple had gone.

After searching for a whole day without success, Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao were both very worried at night and couldn't rest well. At midnight, they suddenly heard someone crying outside the window. They sat up in surprise and asked who was outside the window.

At this time, a black image with disheveled hair appeared on a wall as if crawling out from the corner, the ghost whimpered louder, crying for father and mother, murmuring cold indistinctly, and then And slowly disappeared on the wall.

Master Liao and Mrs. Liao were so frightened that they lost all sleepiness, they hurriedly put on their clothes, pushed open the door and rushed out, they turned around a few times but they didn't see a single person. Some of them are like their own sons, otherwise why would they be called father and mother, but why are they crying, why are they calling them cold?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, so they hurriedly called the servants all night and began to rummage around the house, trying to find traces of what happened to the bride and groom.

The two of them became more and more convinced that something must have happened to their son.
