The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 418: Alert (2)

 Du Shi, his former wife and the mother of his three children. That woman had eloped with him for many years, and he was really embarrassed at first. He hated her for not caring about the relationship between the couple and even his own flesh and blood. Despite this, he still didn't want his children to grow up hating their mother at a young age. This would do them no good at all.

Therefore, even though there was a lot of gossip in the village, he never said anything bad about Du Shi in front of the children. In fact, before Du left, she was indeed very good to her three children and fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. He could not deny this out of hatred.

 Later, as he gradually understood the personalities of his second uncle and second aunt, his hatred for Mrs. Du gradually faded away. If he hadn't been obsessed with the imperial examination, stayed in the town all year round, and ignored the grievances suffered by his wife and children, Du might not have abandoned her husband and son and eloped.

As a husband, he could not protect his wife and children from the wind and rain, causing them to suffer so much. He had no shame in blaming Du for abandoning him, their children, and their little family.

There was no hatred in his heart, but from the bottom of his heart he didn't want to see Du Shi again. He just pretended that this person had never existed, but he never expected that he would meet her in the capital, and even the man who took her to elope.

The life of their family of four has finally become smooth, and he doesn't want to cause any more trouble. When he met these two people, he could only quietly avoid them, pretending that he had never seen them before, and never thought of letting his children know about them. However, it just made his daughter suspicious. How was he going to tell her about all this?

The slightly painful tangle on his father's face made Mo Yan even more confused. Who exactly did he meet to make his father look like this? She didn't want to force her father, so she quickly stepped forward and hugged Mo Qingze's arm to comfort her: "Dad, my daughter is just asking casually. If you don't want to say anything, forget it. As long as no one is causing trouble for you, my daughter has nothing to worry about. "

Mo Qingze was still debating whether or not to tell the truth, but his daughter said such words. He felt moved, moved, and full of guilt. If he hadn't been confused, the children would not have been without their mother. , suffered the ridicule of others...

Mo Yan didn't know the complexity of her father's heart, so she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. Even though she felt like a kitten was scratching her heart, she didn't dare to inquire too much.

As a result, both father and daughter had met Du Shi, but neither of them were willing to tell their family about it. As a result, they met again unexpectedly, and under such circumstances, everyone was caught off guard...

Now that the village rules have been formulated, Yang Bao can’t wait to summon the villagers of Liuyang Village to his yard, announce them one by one, and explain them one by one.

The ancients had a strong sense of clan. Although most of the villagers in Liuyang Village had escaped and had broken away from their original clans, they were originally bound by clan rules. Now that Yang Bao has come up with a village rule, the villagers have not I don’t find it unbelievable. Anyway, clan rules and village rules are not meant to restrain a certain person. With rules in place, those honest people feel that their own interests are better protected, and their lives in Liuyang Village will be more secure.

However, when Yang Bao solemnly detailed the sins of Wang Dali and others in front of everyone and announced the corresponding punishments, the villagers were shocked. Wang Dali and others even screamed and cried out for injustice.

 However, the crimes they committed have long been known to everyone, and even if they cry out for injustice, no one will pay attention to them. Most people knew that the village chief took this opportunity to kill as a warning to others. Although they murmured in their hearts and felt that the village chief was tough, no one interceded for Wang Dali and others who had brought it upon themselves.

 As a result, Wang Dali was expelled from the village and a dozen others were punished by working as coolies for the Mo family for half a month. It was considered a certainty and could not be changed.

 …

It has been snowing continuously for half a month in the capital, and it has finally stopped. People who have not yet bought new year's goods have poured into the streets and alleys with money in their arms. The streets are full of people and lively. The money went out like water, but people had smiles on their faces. However, due to the war in the north, prices were one to two percent higher than in previous years. Many families who did not have much money had to tighten their belts and save money. New Year's goods are fully stocked.

 Compared to the sunny, lively and bustling capital city, the atmosphere on the northern border, which is suffering from war, is undoubtedly much more somber. The heavy snow here has never stopped, and the weather has not cleared up. The thick snow is not conducive to the war. The two armies have temporarily suspended the truce. Da Chu's army is stationed in the recently recovered Yunxia City, preparing to spend a good New Year and then fight to the death with the Ba people. .

After inspecting the defenses of various important places, Xiao Ruiyuan, who was wearing black and gold armor, returned to the study of the temporary commander's mansion slightly tired. As he was taking off his armor, the black Lingling's eyes had already taken in the entire study, without looking at it. Seeing Maomao's figure, his brows furrowed tightly.

 It’s been six whole days…

 "Du du du du—" He tapped his index finger lightly. This was a subconscious action when Xiao Ruiyuan was in a state of agitation. The last time he did this was when he was searching for news about the red python and couldn't find it.

Xiao Jiu, who had been hiding in the dark and protecting his master closely, was very familiar with this action, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he couldn't show up without his master's instructions.

Xiao Ruiyuan thought of something and said coldly to the void: "Is there any news in Beijing?"

Xiao Jiu's figure was like a ghost, appearing silently in the center of the study, kneeling on one knee: "Master, there is no news yet in the capital. It's just that someone sneaked into the study an hour ago and was taken down by his subordinates. Now I'm waiting for the master to tell you." .”

Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes narrowed, and a look of ridicule flashed through him: "You dare to sneak in in broad daylight. You are quite courageous. Can you tell me who ordered you to do this?"

Xiao Jiu lowered his head and apologized in a deep voice: "My subordinate is incompetent. I only know that he is from the capital, and I failed to ask about the person behind it and his purpose."

Xiao Ruiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, able to withstand Xiao Jiu's various cruel methods, and the person who ordered him spent a lot of money, so the matter became more and more complicated: "Bring the person here, I will interrogate him personally."

Xiao Jiu took the order and made a strange gesture towards the darkness. Soon, a secret guard wrapped in black clothes with only one eye exposed appeared in the study carrying a man in ordinary clothes and covered with blood.

The secret guard loosened his grip and threw the man to the ground. He saluted Xiao Ruiyuan and then stood up and stood aside. His eyes were fixed on the limp Xizou on the ground to prevent him from hurting anyone.

Perhaps he was too seriously injured and was thrown heavily to the ground. The man's body twitched slightly, and a suppressed groan came from his throat.

 Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the people on the ground with a heavy gaze. Many possibilities flashed through his mind, but he rejected them one by one.

The army of the Ba people will not retreat for a day, and those with evil intentions in the capital will not dare to take action against him. It is intriguing that the person behind the scenes sent people over at this time!
