I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 454 Random thoughts

The head called his confidant to come in, and whispered to his confidant again.

The confidant retreated in response, and the third master saw this, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice.

"Brother, could it be that you...!?"

"Shh, speak carefully."

The eldest master didn't want other people in the cottage to know that he had connections with those people, so he immediately stopped the third master's question and gave the third master a look.

The third master knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately shut up and didn't say anything else.

After all, there are a lot of people talking in this cottage.

In case someone made a mistake, let alone that the imperial court couldn't tolerate their cottage, some people in the cottage would jump their feet.

Therefore, the best way, of course, is to let everyone else in the cottage know what happened except for the two of them.

When the person Cui Qingyuan sent came back to report, his brows frowned immediately.

Unexpectedly, that cottage is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If you forcibly lead troops to attack, I'm afraid it will hurt one thousand of the enemy and eight hundred of yourself.

No wonder, this group of thieves was able to hide in that cottage all the time without being wiped out.

Of course, Cui Qingyuan felt that the corrupt official Chen Tai might have colluded with the thieves in this cottage, let alone cleared up.

It seems that we still have to think long-term.

Unbeknownst to Cui Qingyuan, he was caught off guard because of his hesitation instead of attacking the cottage, which almost caused a catastrophe later on.

When Ning Laosi came back with Huisheng, Ning Pengpeng frowned when he learned from him that Mr. Cui hadn't directly wiped out the cottage.

"You only brought back Tu Hai's body and his men?"

Fourth Ning nodded, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Master Cui directly hung that Tu Hai and the heads of those dead bandit lords on the city wall.

When the bandits received the news, they were afraid they would have to hide, and they didn't dare to come out again. "

Ning Pengpeng pursed his lips when he heard this, his face was solemn.

Now that you have become a bandit, how can you be afraid of death?

Master Cui did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out those people.

I'm afraid, it will arouse the viciousness of these people instead.

Being surrounded by such a group of people, hiding in the dark and watching for opportunities, Ning Pengpeng felt that she couldn't sleep more peacefully.

Looking at the books I have read in modern times, no matter whether it is official history or unofficial history, are there still few people who have fallen into bandits in the coastal area, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the government, burning, killing and looting?

For some reason, Ning Pengpeng always felt that something big was about to happen.

However, seeing the cheerful appearance of the fourth child, she didn't pour cold water on him.

Nodding his head, let Fourth Ning remember to send a gift to Futai Mansion tomorrow as a token of his heart.

Fourth Ning quickly agreed. Although he didn't do anything today, how could he not be excited to deal with those thieves at such close range as a man!
Huisheng also felt that after Boss Tu was dealt with, the Ning Mansion should be fine.

The common people in the city of Nanyue Prefecture were naturally very happy when they learned that Master Futai had actually caught the bandit who was blocking the way.

At least, when you go out in the future, you won't be afraid of being robbed by bandits!
For a moment, the entire city of Nanyue Prefecture was filled with joy.

As for the Tao family, Mrs. Tao cried and cried out for being wronged.

But the evidence is conclusive, how can she be allowed to mess around like an old woman.

Therefore, I can only cry and cry at home.

At the same time, all the anger in my heart was directed at Pan's body.

On the day Tao Shouchun was taken away, Mrs. Pan was a little dumbfounded, her face full of disbelief.

The person who made her exist like a devil was arrested just like that?

During this time, Mrs. Tao has been running around the Yamen.

The only silver left in the family was taken by Mrs. Tao to pay favors.

But this matter was handled by Master Futai himself, and the people below could not easily accommodate it.

So, Mrs. Tao spent all her money, but Tao Shouchun's people didn't even meet each other.

Even, news has spread from the yamen that when the gang of thieves and bandits are all interrogated, they are going to launch them all and behead them in public.

Tao Pozi, who heard the news, burst into tears at home.

Tao Shouchun was the only one in the old Tao's family. Originally, she planned to divorce the Pan family and find a wife for her son, so as to continue the incense of the old Tao's family.

Well now, my son was arrested and his head was going to be beheaded.

Old Tao's family is really going to be cut off from her place!
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became. When she slapped her thighs and sat on the ground crying to her death, seeing Pan's stupid look, Mrs. Tao hated her so much.

If it weren't for this woman, her own son would keep her, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, how could the old Tao family end up with no children and grandchildren?

"You loser, you pay for my son, you pay for the lifeblood of my old Tao family."

Tao Pozi jumped up from the ground, screamed, and threw herself on Mrs. Pan, just hitting her hard.

Pan raised her arms to protect her head, and didn't fight back, just letting her mother-in-law beat her.

The neighbors around looked at it and couldn't help shaking their heads, secretly feeling that Mrs. Pan was pitiful.

However, now that the Tao family has been accused of colluding with thieves, who dares to say a word to them.

Don't add insult to injury, throw rotten leaves, rotten eggs, scold Mrs. Tao, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it's all done.

Therefore, even the poor Pan family silently turned their heads and went back to their own room, ignoring the affairs of the Tao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Tao beat Pan, and stopped when she was exhausted.

Pan's breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with Tao Shouchun, Tao Pozi hit her with the same strength as scratching, at most it was a pain in the heart.

Every time Tao Shouchun hit her before, she felt as if she was going to die the next moment.

Moreover, Tao Shouchun's attack was vicious, and the wounds on his face were secondary. Most of the wounds were in places where no one could see.

Every time she was beaten, Pan only felt that her psychological injuries were worse than her physical injuries.

Therefore, she could bear the pain from Mrs. Tao beating her.

Even this time, Mrs. Tao's time to beat her was much shorter than before.

"Don't go and cook for me yet."

Seeing her dead appearance, Mrs. Tao felt angry and yelled at Mrs. Pan.

Pan didn't dare to resist, and she might have been used to her mother-in-law treating her like this.

So, obediently entered the kitchen.

When Pan was cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife, she picked up the kitchen knife and stared at it for a long time before continuing to chop vegetables silently.

……Pity!

Originally, Mrs. Tao wanted to enter the kitchen to monitor whether the daughter-in-law was cheating.

But before he went in, he saw Mrs. Pan holding a kitchen knife and looking at it.

The indifferent look on that face made Mrs. Tao couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Couldn't help swallowing forcefully, retreated cautiously, and trotted back to the house.

After closing the door with a bang, Mrs. Tao held her heart that had been beating violently, thinking wildly in fear.
