Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Chapter 16: Xiangqi Society Opera

Views:

Mo Li came from Zhushan County, and the luggage on his back has not been put down. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be the owner of this house. Doctor Mo looked at the military attache and ruled out the possibility that the other party had a problem with his eyes, suspecting that the other party was just trying to make him stronger.

Sure enough, the military attache saw that the two were unresponsive, and his anger was even more intense. Fortunately, the servant of Chen's house was on the road, so scared that he knelt down with a thud, and asked tremblingly, "This official, what are you doing? What snow and red, we don't know!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Xue Zhu! Isn't there a woman named Xue Zhu in this family?"

The military attache slapped the knife on a nearby flower and tree, and the snow was flying, and all the soldiers he brought were staring at him.

The servants of Chen's house thought of Mrs. Xue in the family after realizing it, and they couldn't blame them. How could the servants know the name of the master's family? Besides, how could anyone smashed the door of the house and rushed in to call the female family's name? , which is too rude.

But looking at the dazzling steel knives, the servants dared not speak, and looked at Chen Zhong secretly.

Chen Zhong was shocked and angry, but he just looked like a rough man, and his personality was not rash. The other party's rank 6 official uniform was enough to make him cautious - a businessman traveled south and north, and he knew the grade of the official uniform, which was not unusual. The people are so ignorant. Sixth-rank officials are already very big officials, magistrates are only seventh-rank, military officers in the Taiping years are not as valuable as civilian officials, but now it is different.

Chen Zhong took a step forward, cupped his hands and asked, "This is your honor? Is there any misunderstanding?"

As a result, as soon as he raised his hand, a row of knives appeared, and the soldiers put the knives directly on his neck with vigilant eyes. This is a good time, not only do you not have to bow your hands to salute, but you are also exempted from kneeling when you meet an official.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the servants of the Chen family hurried back to the back house, calling for the master and the old lady to form a mess.

"What are you doing? This nursing home?" The military attache looked at Chen Zhong with disgust.

This wild man is just not particular, and he is too embarrassed to wear satin clothes when he grows up like a bear? Live like a monkey and crown.

The military attache stretched out his hand and pointed at the ink carp: "You, go and call your master!"

Naturally, Mo Li would not leave. The other party was aggressive. He was afraid that the military officer would slash him with a knife. The people surrounding them haven't dispersed yet, and they are all standing not far away, poking their brains to watch the excitement. If something good reveals Chen Zhong's identity, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Did you hear that?" The military attache became impatient. He was originally looking for trouble, but when he met a guy who didn't wink, he was so annoyed that he kicked the small square table where the happy money was placed at the door.

The happy money was scattered all over the ground, and the small square table also flew.

However, the soldiers' eyes flashed, seeing the small square table that flew out coming towards them at a faster speed, they were shocked and instinctively dodged, and Chen Zhong also took the opportunity to escape.

I saw a woman wearing a red begonia dress, her eyebrows were upside down, and she came out angrily.

There were several servants of the Chen family huddled behind her, only daring to look around.

"It's him, it's him!"

"That official had no reason, he smashed the plaque and rushed in to make trouble!"

The servants of the Chen family did not know the grade of official uniforms. Because their husband married the magistrate's daughter, and the father of his master was a county magistrate, they were not as afraid of becoming an official as ordinary people.

"Miss Xue is here!" The people watching the fun outside the door shouted.

The military officer's eyes lit up, staring at Madam Xue with a complicated expression.

"What is the way of Zunjia, come to see me Xue Zhu, do you want to talk about the head business in Chiji Mountain?" Mrs. Xue rolled up her sleeves, and the servant behind immediately handed a watermelon knife.

Ink carp: "… "

Doctor Mo thought that after Madam Xue got married, she became even more sturdy.

"You, you!" The military attache was very shocked, he asked in disbelief, "You are Xue Zhu, how did you become like this?"

Madam Xue frowned, and she looked at the military attache suspiciously, as if recalling.

The military attache saw a sudden look slowly appeared on her bright face, and immediately showed a look of pride, and couldn't help shaking the official robe.

"Liu Da fool!"

"..." The military attache's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Madam Xue quickly shook her head again and said, "The age is not right, right! You are his son, Liu Chang!"

The corner of the military attache's mouth twitched, not knowing whether he was happy or angry, Mo Li couldn't help but circled around Chen Zhong and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"I don't know!" Chen Zhong was also at a loss.

At this time, the soldiers brought by the military officer couldn't bear it any longer, and he shouted in a rough voice: "You woman, you are so shameless! Back then, when you broke your trust and regretted the marriage, the Xue family couldn't be saved. Such an attitude?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and the people watching the lively at the door started talking about it.

Chen Zhong's face was also a little blue, Mo Li frowned and was about to say something, but saw Madam Xue throw a watermelon knife, which happened to stick to the soldier's crotch and stuck it in the snow.

"… "

The people watching the fun outside the door were also Yijing, who seemed to finally understand why Mrs. Xue dared to marry Chen Jialangjun. Such a lady would definitely not go away with a slap.

"You said that you have repented of your marriage. What do you mean by repentance? You don't know what it means to be remorseful? Before the marriage deed was written, I went back on it. What kind of husband-in-law does Liu Chang count as me?"

Madam Xue's assertive remarks made the military officer look up in anger, her teeth rattled, and she shouted, "Xue Zhu! Back then, it was your Xue family who turned your face and didn't recognize anyone. When you saw my Liu family's downfall, you opened your mouth and broke off the marriage. Afraid of being scolded by someone pointing at the spine, I went to Pingzhou thousands of miles away with a guilty conscience, and now I'm still drinking and scolding me. You don't even look at me, Liu Chang, is it your Xue family that can insult me now?"

The servants of the Chen family listened to the other party's plausible words, and immediately looked at each other, not because they didn't trust Madam Xue, but why Madam Xue married the Chen family in the first place. , I thought that Madam Xue either had a problem with her eyes or her brain.

Mo Li didn't believe a word of Liu Chang's words, and his days of knowing Xue Zhixian were not too short. Xue Zhixian was obviously not someone who disliked the poor and loved the rich and clings to the powerful.

Seeing that Liu Chang was about to start, Mo Li was about to say something, but saw Madam Xue sneer, pointed at Liu Chang and sneered: "You are an official, I am a citizen, and I don't have your prestige, but do you want to try it? , every night someone touches your bedroom, puts a knife on your neck, cuts a piece of meat today, and peels a piece of skin tomorrow?"

After he finished speaking, he slapped his palm on the small rockery at the door for bonsai.

Rockery, broken into powder.

Everyone swallowed a mouthful of water at the same time, and their necks were cold.

Doctor Mo backed away silently.

He remembered that Mrs. Xue's internal strength was average, not so shocking to the world. After taking a closer look, he found that the rockery seemed to be a bit wrong, and instantly understood that this was what it looked like on the big happy day. It's a small place, all of which are sold like this, with a layer of stone skin on the outside and empty inside.

Liu Chang didn't see it, he was so angry that his body was shaking, and he wanted to order the soldiers to smash the Chen family, but he was intimidated by Madam Xue's martial arts, so he could only roar: "Xue Zhu! Are you not ashamed at all?"

Madam Xue raised her arms and pushed Chen Zhong and Mo Li, who were coming to speak, to the wall, and said loudly, "What do I owe you to the Liu family? From the previous stipulations to the current statutes, which one is not written? Are you planning to break off the marriage? Your Liu family did not hire you, and you did not exchange geng posts, but it was a marriage with a jade pendant as a certificate, and my Xue family returned that jade pendant to you! Besides, even if you are married, you can still get divorced. , My family retires the marriage in accordance with the laws and regulations of the court, why do you come to the door? Is it possible, as long as you have promised your little lady, you are not allowed to go back on it, are you the emperor's old son?"

"Presumptuous! How dare you disrespect Your Majesty!"

Liu Chang shouted loudly, and the soldiers all glared at him.

Madam Xue was not at all afraid, her eyes rolled, and she smiled and said to Yan Yan: "What's the matter, I don't know what is called "Shan Gao Emperor Yuan"? Salary, what's wrong with the emperor, isn't it the jade seal that was usurped? Do you really think that you are the real dragon and emperor, and want to put scales on your face?"

A certain dragon vein with scales silently squeezed into Chen Zhong's side to watch the play.

The people watching the lively outside were horrified, and felt that although Madam Xue's words were bold, there was nothing wrong with them. Even if there are people who don't agree, they don't dare to say anything at the moment. Madam Xue is the daughter of Xue Zhixian, and her back is hard. As she said, it's not difficult to find someone to marry without the Chen family. They don't dare to What gossips are said in person.

"Even if you can break off the marriage, but your Xue family fell into trouble, but you broke off the marriage when my father was demoted and exiled." Liu Chang's face was ashen, and his words gritted his teeth. Recognize people. From that day on, Xue Zhu, I swear to let you Xue family taste this way too!"

Mo Li felt strange when he heard it. He felt that there should be some hidden feelings in it. It was not that he helped his relatives or not, but that Xue Lingjun had been squatting in Zhushan County for more than 20 years. He had no ambition or love for money. He told Liu Chang. It's completely two forms.

- It can't be that Madam Xue has someone else's love, and it's even less likely that the Xue family took her daughter to cling to other dignitaries, because according to Liu Chang, this was before the Xue Zhixian family came to Pingzhou, when Madam Xue was only six seven years old.

Moreover, it is said that the marriage is for the belly, and Liu Chang's age is the same. It is impossible for a six or seven-year-old child to go to a brothel, and it is impossible for him to be rejected by the Yue family because he is too unpromising. So why

Mo Li suddenly thought of the sentence Mrs. Xue blurted out when she saw Liu Chang.

This is quite rude behavior, how to say it is also a family friend, saying bad words to the elders, and even in front of other people's sons...

Mo Li was pondering, and Mrs. Xue said with a sneer: "Let's not talk about the previous emperor who exiled your father, just talk about the time your father suffered, do you know what happened?"

Liu Chang was even more angry, he said loudly: "My father is the censor. He impeached the prince of Jingyuan Hou for seizing the people's daughter, but he was confounded by the powerful, thrown into prison, stripped of his official positions and exiled to the border."

The crowd of onlookers exploded, Jingyuan Hou! That is the famous general of the previous dynasty! Even commoners like them know that the previous emperors were stubborn and could not tolerate others, and when they got old, they were suspicious of ministers all day long. The Marquis of Jingyuan suddenly fell ill and died violently at home that night. His death was unclear. Because of his illustrious military exploits, on the day of his funeral, thousands of people in Taijing and Xianyang sent them off, crying so much that the ground was wet. This is the favorite story of storytellers. , especially after the fall of the previous dynasty.

The son of the Marquis Jingyuan occupied the people's daughter? Something went wrong!

Madam Xue said with contempt: "Do you still think your father is a sturdy censor? He was tricked, someone in the court wants to bring down the Duke of Jingyuan, and use a fireworks woman as a trick to trap the prince of Jingyuan, you What my father got was fake evidence, and he was still trying to make a name for himself, and before he figured out the matter, he got a memorial."

"You are talking nonsense!"

"What happened 20 years ago, I really want to investigate it, but it's not that I can't find it out!" Madam Xue raised her head and said contemptuously, "My father tried to persuade him that something was wrong, but your father didn't listen and said What kind of censors can already hear the news, no evidence is needed. My father told him that this is a party dispute, a game between the DPRK and China. If these newcomers in the officialdom are in troubled waters, they can't even save their lives, and then he will suffer you. My father scolded him, saying that he was a lackey of the powerful and greedy for power. After my father came home, he said that he wanted to repent of the marriage, and said that even if I could not marry in my whole life, I would not marry the son of fool Liu!”

Liu Chang stared at his eyes, his eyes were splitting.

Madam Xue did not let him go, she walked to the door deliberately, and said to the people watching the fun, "My fellow villagers and fathers, it doesn't matter if you are poor, but you can't be stupid! To be fair, who wants to be confused with such a brain? Maybe it will affect the whole family to get married? Aren’t you afraid that your son-in-law will be gone and your daughter will be a widow? Aren’t you afraid that you will be killed by the three tribes of Yi?”

Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. After all, he was an official!

"Xue Zhu, you are turning black and white. The Xue family came to break off the marriage after my father's accident..."

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Madam Xue looked at her nails painted with Kodan, and waved her hand like a fly, her expression was very similar to that of Xue Zhixian, "My father just made up his mind when he got home, and he I didn't have time to go to the door. The next day, your father hurriedly roared the memorial, and he was thrown into the prison before the morning was over. What time is the morning? The curfew hasn't ended yet. Could it be that my parents need to light the lamp and touch it? Going to your house in the dark to break off the marriage?"

The soldiers brought by Liu Chang looked at each other in dismay, and wanted to help Liu Chang, but they were afraid that Mrs. Xue would chop off their own life with a knife. Besides, they didn't know it was related to Jingyuan Hou before they came.

Who is Jingyuan Hou? The god of war in the storyteller's mouth pacified Goryeo and destroyed Xiliang, and still has prestige to this day. Liu Chang's father even impeached him, and the soldiers were very upset.

Liu Chang also knew that something was wrong. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xue Zhu, these are your side words! Besides, when you were a little girl back then, Xue Ting said everything, and you didn't see it with your own eyes..."

"What happened to the little girl? I recited the Book of Poetry at the age of six and read the Analects at the age of seven. Do you think everyone is like you, playing with mud and teasing Mr. Xixi at the age of seven? Do you think my father will not discuss with me about such a big event as divorce? My father also said that he was dizzy back then, seeing your father's upright temperament, your mother being kind-hearted, and a classmate from the same country, who knew each other well and felt that he was a good family, so this was decided early on. I didn't expect your father to be upright but stupid. My mother has a good heart, but she spoils you blindly and doesn't discipline you, so my father has given me thousands of sentences, isn't it?"

Madam Xue clapped the dust on her hands, pointed to Liu Chang's nose, and said, "I want to teach you that after the death of Marquis Jingyuan, my father felt that the king was incompetent, the court was in chaos, and sooner or later something would happen, so I asked for it. Now that you are out, the farther you are, the better. Don’t be self-righteous, think what the Xue family did to your family, and go to Pingzhou in the backcountry with a guilty conscience. Of course, if you think so, you can be happy Also at will!"

Liu Chang's complexion turned from red to white, then blue to purple, as if he had knocked over the dye vat.

He stared at Madam Xue fiercely, and said word by word, "What about you? You have no official title, and your husband does not even have a name, yet you actually marry a businessman? This is your choice after breaking off your marriage. I, Liu Chang, are now a gangster. What happened under the general's command, a dignified sixth-rank official, you looked down on my Liu family back then, don't you regret it now?"

Chen Zhong felt that he had something to say this time. What's wrong with his lack of fame? The Chen family is not poor. on the neck.

"Don't hide it, this is your husband! I saw you wink at him, and I saw him trying to help you several times!"

Chen Zhong, who obviously came to help but was ignored: "..."

Liu Chang looked at Mo Li contemptuously, his actions were very rude.

"Why is he carrying a suitcase? Could it be that I leaked the news when I was inquiring about the location of your home in the town, and he wanted to run away? Xue Zhu, this is the husband you chose, penniless, cowardly and incompetent... ah!"

Doctor Mo couldn't bear to give him an elbow.

-Why do you have to make it difficult for yourself to deliver the letter

Wrong passing by? Is it wrong to watch a play

Liu Chang's nose bleeds wildly, his eyes are full of flowers, and another force hits his chest, and he falls heavily.

"I'm Ah Zhu's husband!" This palm was hit by Chen Zhong, who was equally unbearable.

A big man like a bear, even if he has not practiced internal skills, he can still fan fly with a slap.

Liu Chang looked at Chen Zhong in disbelief, and then at Madam Xue. Because he fell over the threshold, the voices of the people watching the lively voices clearly entered his ears.

"Yes, yes, this is Chen Langjun, this official did not inquire clearly?"

"Hurry up and find the door, who doesn't know about us here!"

Liu Chang had severe pain in his chest, Venus shot up in front of him, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and passed out directly.

Bystanders let out an oops and hurriedly dispersed.

The soldiers rushed out in a hurry, one side was unconscious, and the other side was Mrs. Xue, who broke the rockery with her bare hands. In addition, this was not their territory, and the county magistrate might not buy their account, so they had to carry Liu Chang and hurriedly. gone.

Chen Zhong was a little remorseful. He walked over to Madam Xue and said worriedly, "It's all my fault that I'm so angry. Now that sloppy gangster general, shouldn't he come to trouble the Chen family and the Xue family?"

Madam Xue looked at Mo Li, and Doctor Mo kicked Liu Chang's knife aside and said with a sigh, "He is so angry, and with the injury of that palm, the attack is fierce and urgent. If he can imagine it Tong, drink some medicine and calm down for three months and you'll be fine, if you get angry every day, you won't live for half a month."

Everyone thought to themselves that it was strange that Liu Chang could calm down.

This man is helpless.

"What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to touch the Chen family, I will keep the pus from the bottom of his feet and the sores all over his body. He regrets taking a step in Ma County." Madam Xue is very confident. She is Xue Ting's daughter. If it wasn't for her father's feelings He had no future and could not afford to support his wife and children, so he went to take the imperial examination. "Ghost Vulture" is still a legend in martial arts.

However, Madam Xue turned around and whispered to Chen Zhong and Mo Li, "But you still have to be careful. I'll change my clothes and follow me to have a look."

"No need." Mo Li stopped him. He took out Xue Zhixian's letter and gave it to Mrs. Xue, thinking that it was probably a coincidence that this happened. He had benefited a lot from Xue Lingjun, and helping Mrs. Xue was also helping Xue Lingjun.

"I'm going out this time because I'm traveling around the world. The schedule is uncertain and I'm free. You have a happy event at home. You can't get away from it. I'll just go and have a look."

"Doctor Mo, how embarrassing this is." Madam Xue felt a little guilty, originally this matter had nothing to do with Mo Li.

"It doesn't matter, it was Xue Lingjun who asked me to visit Mrs. Xue originally. Over the years, my teacher and I have been helped by Xue Lingjun. It's not a trivial matter."

Mo Li knew that neither Mrs. Xue nor Chen Zhong would let him go if he didn't tell him what to do, so he whispered, "I'll go in disguise and give him a prescription. In Liu Chang's current situation, no decoction can cure the symptoms. To cure the root cause, my medicine is more effective, and it can make him look like a normal person. If he relaxes his heart and won't come to you again, the medicine can save him. Suddenly the heart is cut off and he died, so at least it doesn't look like he was seriously injured and died by Chen Zhong, and it saves trouble."

Chen Zhong thanked him repeatedly, and Madam Xue also packed up the dry food items and some silver money, and forced Doctor Mo to accept it.

After a lot of hustle and bustle, Mo Li couldn't help but say to Chen Zhong when he was parting: "Brother Chen, what happened to Mrs. Xue today..."

"I believe in Ah Zhu, it's nothing!" Chen Zhong smiled disapprovingly.

"No, I'm saying that Liu Chang has repeatedly recognized me as... Cough, about this..." Doctor Mo thinks it's better to explain. After all, he knew Mrs. Xue before she got married. It's not too much to explain this kind of thing, young couple Don't get upset because of yourself.

Chen Zhong suddenly realized, patted Mo Li's shoulder and said, "Doctor Mo, don't worry, I won't misunderstand, all the men A Zhu likes are my appearance, like a little white face or something, she doesn't even look at it. To be honest, I I'm even more worried about Hunter Wang in Zhushan County, the one who killed a tiger with his bare hands, you know! Just him! He looks darker than me, he is young and capable, and he hasn't gotten married yet!"

Ink carp: "… "

The author has something to say:

Doctor Mo hesitated: Who is the little white face? My scales are black, black! !

————

Xue Ting: I have no future in the world, I can't marry a wife and can't raise a child, I want to finish (the pill).

Xue Ting: Mrs. Liu doesn't know how to raise children. This son-in-law will take pills in the future... Forget it, let's take a look at the children when they are still young.

Xue Ting: Liu Da fool pills! Even if it’s not over this time, it’s definitely over next time!

Xue Ting: ... The Marquis of Jingyuan was poisoned to death by His Majesty! Still saying no, trying to lie to me? The ghostly poison eagle, the holy hand of the poisonous way, who shocked the martial arts and caused a sensation in all religions, learn about it! The emperor is brainless, the courtiers are fighting each other, oh my god, this court will take pills sooner or later! ! Put it out, put it out, the farther the better!
