Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 161
Seeing that the crowd finally dispersed, the two felt relieved.They didn't want to alarm the clansmen in the village at all, they were afraid that they would startle the snake.Unexpectedly, this Qi family can be so troublesome, but they caught them by surprise. If I knew this would be the result, I should have knocked her out before she yelled.

The two of them had just carried her to the patriarch's house, when Li Zongxi followed, and as soon as he came in, he fell down on his knees in front of the old patriarch, choked up and cried: "Grandpa patriarch, you have to decide for my nephew! "The patriarch knew why he came, so he asked with a sullen face: "What's the matter?" Li Zongxi searched around for a long time, but he didn't see his daughter-in-law, so he cried loudly: "Grandpa patriarch, you can't just because someone has Father who is an official doesn’t care about ordinary people like us!”

The crutch in the old patriarch's hand hit the ground vigorously, "If you have something to say, stand up and say it, if you don't speak well, I will let Zong Qi blast you out." Then Li Zongxi stood up, and said with a sad face: "Patriarch Grandpa, just now when my nephew and grandson came home, I didn’t see Qi Shi, and my neighbor Zong Yi told me that it was Qi Shi who knocked out Li Zonghui’s Zhige, and Zong Qi and him brought you home.”

The old patriarch snorted: "Don't you know what your Qi family did?" Li Zongxi said at a loss: "Grandpa patriarch, tell me, what did she do?" The old patriarch shouted outside Said: "Zong Qi, come in!" Li Zongqi came in from outside.

Seeing Li Zongqi coming in, the old patriarch pointed at him and nodded, "Zong Qi, tell your brother Zongxi what happened outside just now." Li Zongqi nodded yes, and said eloquently: "Brother Zongxi , I just followed Sister-in-law Qi to the woods in Qianshan, and she actually hooked up with the Hou family, and the two conspired to rob and kill Sister-in-law Lei of Zong Hui's family and her children on the way back to Lizhou, and also to kill them. The money I brought is my own. Hou gave Qi sister-in-law an ingot of five taels of silver, saying it was for the report fee."

Li Zongxi was so frightened that he lost his tongue: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing, no, no, it's impossible!" Li Zongqi snorted through his nostrils: "Brother Zongxi, do you mean you are talking to them when you say that? Are you in the same group?" Li Zongxi immediately waved his hands again and again: "How is it possible, brother Zongqi, you can't talk nonsense! You also know that your brother and I have been honest in the village all our lives, but I really don't care about this Qi family." I can't control it. It turned out that she was tired of being with Hou Shi, and I persuaded her, but she still scolded me. Later, Hou Shi ran away with someone, and I thought it would be peaceful from now on. How did I know that this happened again? ?”

At this moment, the patriarch snorted twice: "Zong Xi, if you didn't hook up with those people, then it's a different matter, but your daughter-in-law will definitely not be released at this moment, and when Hou and her are caught Adulterer, hand it over to the yamen. Let's open the ancestral hall again and talk about your daughter-in-law." Li Zongxi couldn't help it, so he nodded in agreement.

He was about to go out when the patriarch stopped him again: "Zong Xi, you must act as if nothing happened when you go back, and you must not tell anyone what we told you. Otherwise, your whole family will be expelled." Let's go!" The words were harsh, Li Zongxi heard a shock, bowed his head in response, and went out tremblingly.

When he disappeared without a trace, the patriarch ordered Li Zongqi: "You personally tie the Qi family tightly with a rope, and stuff your mouth with something, and throw it directly to the woodshed." Li Zongqi led the order to retreat.

The patriarch called Li Xianzhi and Li Shasha in again.Li Shasha blessed the old patriarch: "Grandpa patriarch, sister Sha saluted you, thank you!" The old patriarch waved his hand: "This kind of scum in the clan is what I should do as the patriarch. Something happened to your mother and your younger siblings, how can I live up to your father's entrustment!"

Li Xianzhi also said politely: "Grandpa patriarch, I should thank you anyway. However, brother Zhi has a small request, please agree to grandpa patriarch." The old patriarch nodded: "Well, what's the matter Just say it!" Li Xianzhi hurriedly said: "Brother Zhi thinks that this kind of thing should not be a shock, can you not tell anyone about this for the time being, even my family members can't tell until the Hou family and Huzi are arrested and brought to justice Besides." The old patriarch touched the white beard on his chin: "That's for sure, I will also tell you Uncle Zong Qi later, let him deliver food to the Qi family, and will not let anyone have anything to do with her Contacted." Having obtained the desired result, Li Xianzhi and Li Shasha hurried home and started deployment.

On the morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather was fine, the gate of Li Shasha's house was wide open, and two carriages drove out of the courtyard and wandered towards the official road.Not long after passing Yanbo Town, we arrived at a canyon that resembled a ray of sky.There are high mountains on both sides of the north and south, cliffs that are not easy to climb on the south side, and a valley mouth with complex terrain on the north side, which is conducive to concealment and ambushes. The canyon in the middle can only allow a carriage to pass through.The two carriages stopped at the entrance of the canyon for a while, and the driver drove the carriage into the canyon again.

Sure enough, when I just walked to the middle of the canyon, many big stones rolled down from the mountain on the south side.Seeing this, the two coachmen immediately drew out their knives and cut off the connection between the horse and the carriage, then rode their horses and abandoned the cart and fled.After a while, the two carriages were smashed to pieces by a big rock rolling down from the mountain.After a while, a few black-clothed and masked men came down from behind the stone. I saw them jumping down the mountain, and they seemed to be kung fu masters.

When they came to the smashed carriage and moved away the stones on it, several masked men couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, because the two carriages were empty, and there was nothing on the ground except the wood for the carriage.They immediately understood that they had been fooled, and were about to turn around and run away.At this time, the two coachmen who had just escaped came back from the front pass on horseback. Both of them held a crossbow in their hands and aimed at them. The arrows gleamed coldly in the sun.

Several people looked at each other and fled in all directions.The crossbows in the hands of the two coachmen aimed at two of them and fired them, and the two fell down.They aimed at the other two, and one of the coachmen shouted: "Stop, if you run again, you will shoot again!" Several people ignored what they said, and ran to the other side of the canyon.The two coachmen fired two more featherless arrows, and two more fell to the ground in response. Those who fell on the ground were all wailing, the featherless arrows had already pierced their calves, and the remaining three people were frozen in a panic immediately. in place.

The two coachmen got off their horses and walked behind the three of them. A taller one touched the acupoints of the three of them from behind, and the three of them collapsed to the ground.Another driver stepped forward and tore off the face scarves of the three of them one by one, and one of them was the bearded man.Huzi couldn't speak, and just stared fixedly at the driver who took off his veil with his eyes. He recognized the driver as Li Xianzhi, and the other one was of course Lao Zheng.

Li Xianzhi stretched out his foot and kicked Beard fiercely a few times, cursing: "Dead Beard, you are so ruthless, you still want to stone my mother to death. Let me see how you die this time." Old Zheng said behind him: "What's the use of kicking him a few times without pain? It breaks this fellow's hands and feet, so that he won't be able to run away after handing it over to the government." The yamen servant guessed that he was not his opponent, and escape was very possible.He stepped forward and hit his knees hard with the crossbow, only to hear the sound of two bones breaking.Although the beard couldn't speak due to acupuncture, he still couldn't help whimpering.

The two pulled out the arrows from the people who were hit by the arrows, put them into the crossbow box, and put the crossbows into the horse's rucksack.Just after finishing this, there was a sound of horseshoes from the pass behind. Li Xianzhi knew that the policemen from the county had arrived, so he took a step back.Not long after, several policemen from the county government came to the front with the prison cart.Li Xianzhi went up to greet them, pointed to the men in black on the ground and said to Butou Lin, who was leading the team: "Bootou Lin, these people are the bandits who attacked the carriage." This person is not only the gangster who attacked the carriage, but also the murderer who killed my second uncle. They were all injured by our arrows, please bring them to justice, sir."

Catcher Lin nodded: "Mr. Li, you're welcome. These outlaws will be severely punished when I report to the county magistrate." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand behind him: "Brothers, put all these bandits in shackles. , locked in a prison van, and dragged back to the county government." Several arresters responded in unison, and immediately began to chain people in an orderly manner.Several of them actually let the policemen recognize that they were either wanted Jiangyang robbers or wanted murderers.They put all the people on the ground in wooden shackles and shackles even more tightly, and put them all in prison cars.

Seeing that everything was taken care of, Catcher Lin bowed his hands to Li Xianzhi and Lao Zheng: "Mr. Li, this hero, thank you for cutting off these scourges for our county. When I report back to my lord, I will definitely give you two suggestions. A commendation." Li Xianzhi and old Zheng Qiqi replied: "Don't dare to be that!" Li Xianzhi took another step forward, and leaned into Lin Butou's ear and said: "That murderous beard has another accomplice, who is my former second aunt, Please also catch the head and ask Huzi to tell her whereabouts, so that my second uncle can rest in peace." "Don't worry, Mr. Li, then I will take her back to the county government and take a step first!" Followed by all the police and prison cars away.Lao Zheng and Li Xianzhi looked at each other, feeling indescribably happy.

The two returned to Lijia Village, and first went home and told Li Shasha what happened just now. Li Shasha was also very happy when she heard that all the people who hijacked the carriage had been wiped out: "Brother, let's talk to mother and grandparents. Let's go!" Li Xianzhi felt that the danger was gone, and he could tell the elders, so he nodded.Li Shasha got up and asked Qiu Ju to call everyone in the family to the main room, saying that she had something to announce.

　Try to make two shifts today, and I will go out to pick strawberries tomorrow, so I guess there will only be one shift.
