Chapter 33 The Incident
Chapter 33 The Incident
After Fu Yuanxin finished writing a picture of the teacher's instructions, he spread the paper and glanced at it, feeling very satisfied.He took the paper under his nose and smelled it, he could smell the faint aroma, he blew on it with a smile on his face.
"As expected of an inkstone bought for a hundred taels of silver, it really is a good thing."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the inkstone and took another look around. The more he looked at it, the more guilty he felt in his heart.Suddenly he hurriedly took the inkstone and was about to run out, but was stopped by someone as soon as he left the door.
"I said young master, where are you going? The master is looking for you. He said he wanted you to show him today's homework. Fortunately, I stopped you." Shaoyao withdrew her hand and saw Fu Yuan Xin was holding something in his hand, and said strangely: "Master, where are you going to take this inkstone? Don't get it all over your body, and be careful not to be told by Mrs."
"I, I'm going to wash up." Fu Yuanxin's face flushed before he gave such an excuse, and he laughed as soon as he finished talking about Shaoyao.
"Young master, are you reading this book stupidly? Where does the inkstone need to be washed? Did you pick up the wrong thing? The brush needs to be washed."
"That's right, that's right, I took it wrong, I'll go find my father right away." Fu Yuanxin sighed with the inkstone in his hand, went back to the house to pick up the calligraphy on that piece of paper, and trotted all the way to find Fu Dongqing.
When he entered the room, Fu Dongqing was admiring a painting that had just been written by someone. When he heard something, he said without turning his head, "Yuan Xin is here."
Fu Yuanxin's heart skipped a beat, neither standing nor sitting.I still wondered in my heart why my father knew that it was him who came with his back turned to him.
After Fu Dongqing looked at the painting with admiration, she turned around and saw her youngest son and shook her head with resentment for his lack of talent, and stretched out her hand to signal Fu Yuanxin to show him the word.
"Huh?" He just took a look and found the difference.This ink is heavy but not thick, and it does not disperse when exposed to water. It seems to be a good ink.When he looked closer, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
Is this ink fragrant?
Excellent ink!
"Where did you get this ink?"
Oops!was found!
Fu Yuanxin's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes began to sweep to the side. Fu Dongqing didn't think much about it at first, but seeing this scene, he knew that his younger son had something to hide from him, so he stared, and the former was so frightened that he said something without thinking. As soon as he finished speaking, he was crying.
"I bought it yesterday."
Fu Dongqing squinted her eyes, put her hands behind her back, and walked to Fu Yuanxin's side, without moving her expression.
"Oh? You bought it? You can't buy such fineness without a hundred taels of silver. You only pay three taels of silver a month. Where did you get so much money? Could it be the bamboo inkstone you told me about a few days ago? " Fu Dongqing was just speculating and saw his son's face flustered after he finished speaking. It was obvious that he was talking about his pain.
"Where did the money come from?"
Father was angry.Fu Yuanxin was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, and began to speak the truth out of his mind.In fact, he has been holding back these words for a long time.
Sister Qingqing was so kind to him, giving him delicious food and combing his hair, but he took the jade tiger at that time, and although he wanted to return it later, he still...
After listening to Fu Yuanxin's words, Fu Dongqing felt ashamed!
"You mean you stole something from other people's house just for such an inkstone?"
hiss-
Fu Yuanxin watched in horror as his father tore the words he had just written into pieces.
"Deed of life and death? How much did you get?"
"Live and live, pawned 150 taels of silver." Fu Yuanxin answered every question.
"You still have some brains, but why is there so much money?" Fu Dongqing was puzzled. An ordinary commoner would have such a good thing in his home. It was only 150 taels for a contract of labor. He walked around the room and decided to buy it. Go and redeem that jade tiger first before making a decision.
Although Fu Dongqing was strange, he only asked Agui to take 200 taels of silver to redeem it, and he didn't put much thought into it.But when he saw the jade tiger that Agui sent up, he was so shocked that he knocked over the teapot to the ground.
"You said this was taken from Xu's house?!"
Fu Dongqing shook her lips, and gave Fu Yuanxin a sharp look.The latter nodded timidly, not quite understanding why his father was so angry.
"You, you unfilial son, I'll settle the score with you when I come back!" Fu Dongqing slapped the table violently, causing the people around to shiver, "Follow me to Xu's house and apologize!"
The house slaves and Fu Yuanxin had never seen Fu Dongqing who was always smiling so furiously, and followed without a second word.
"Where are people? Are you sure it's here?"
When Fu Dongqing and his group broke through the door and entered Qinghe's house, they found that it was empty, there was no one there, and the house was forcibly turned over, messy, and things scattered all over the place.
"Father, it's here, maybe Sister Qingqing went to the store, so..." Fu Yuanxin swallowed the rest of the words, and he also knew that what he said was completely impossible.If you really just went to the store, why is the house so messy, as if it was searched by someone.
"Agui, go around and ask what happened here."
"Yes, sir."
After a while, Ah Gui came back, and he whispered a few words in Fu Dongqing's ear. After explaining the ins and outs of the matter, Fu Dongqing kicked the wooden stool over angrily.
"Extremely useless! Zhang Hai is really a pussy, I don't think he can hold this position for long, just for such a useless useless son, to lose the position of a prefect, I just hope that he will gain a lot of wisdom. "After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, walked outside, and left a sentence in the middle of the walk, "I'm going to find an old man to talk about the past, you go back to the house first, Fu Yuanxin will not allow me to eat in the ancestral hall for a day."
Fu Yuanxin's feet softened and he supported the table so as not to fall.
"Why on earth is this?" He still didn't understand why this incident was such a big deal.

Qinghe picked up a piece of tender beef and chewed it carefully for a few bites. You can slowly taste the spiciness, saltiness, and strong aroma of the soup in your mouth. Stir-fry to keep the meat fresh and tender. This cook is good at it.She nodded, "Brother Zhang's master is very skilled, Qing He is ashamed of himself."
"Little sister, you are welcome. You are a young girl who can have such cooking skills, which is already very good." Zhang Tu was very proud, and felt that his face was radiant, and he laughed heartily when he spoke.
In the conversation on the way back just now, the two of them have already called each other brother and sister. Although I don't know if the two sides are sincere, but according to the current situation, they still look pretty good.
This cottage is built on the mountain, and there are even singing and dancing to add to the fun, these women are the wives and concubines of the leader, with a lot of talents, Qinghe murmured to himself while admiring, it happened that Erbai came over, it was exactly what she thought.
"Qingqing, do you think these people were snatched?" Erbai lowered his voice and communicated with Qinghe in private, the two agreed and smiled at each other.
These girls from a good family were forced to be captured in Huiqingliang Village, forced to put their lives in the hands of these mountain kings, and became their women, but the men went down the mountain to fight the world, and the women just sat at home and enjoyed themselves, serving the men. I also calmed down and didn't want to go down the mountain anymore.
"Brother, these two girls are really good-looking. They just need us, why don't you take them? We don't lose money." The second child is the man who squinted at Erbai in the Qinghe shop back then. He already has a wife and a concubine in his family, and he is the most lustful man among these bosses. Ever since Qinghe Erbai sat down, he has started to have malicious thoughts.
The corner of the wine glass in Zhang Tu's hand was dented by him, and the wine spilled out. He stared and lowered his voice to threaten: "Second brother, you were half responsible for this disaster. We owed him, and we wanted to get someone to think about it." What’s the difference between those thieves and those thieves if you don’t even have this.”
Speaking of which, there were many large and small cottages on this road at the beginning, but later the big villages fought and merged with each other, weakening their strength.
Qingliang Mountain can also be regarded as an outlier among bandits. They exchange a large amount of money. If you are willing to hand over all the money, they will promise to help you get out of this difficult mountain road.But if you don't agree or you don't have money, then that person will change it!So it gradually grew stronger, and integrated the stockade that had been greatly injured by the merger into one, and it was in full swing, making the government start to be afraid.
The second child was startled when he heard it, he retracted his neck, sat there with a cold snort and began to drink on his own, and when the singing and dancing stopped, he pulled his concubine to sit on his lap, and began to use his hands up and down.
"Why didn't you see the man who was beaten all over the place by me back then?" Er Bai wondered.
Qing He was suddenly noticed by saying this, and the old four disappeared.
"Where's the fourth child?" Zhang Tu was also surprised. At this time in the past, the fourth child would always like to quarrel and get drunk. Today, it's strange that he's not used to seeing people disappear.
The third child in the cottage is a smart person, and he can be regarded as a think tank among the leaders. Knowing that these people go up the mountain, the fourth child will not be allowed to come out, lest he lose his face and quarrel with them, which will embarrass the eldest brother , not good looking.
"The fourth child said that he is feeling a little sick today, so he won't come."
Zhang Tu didn't take it seriously, and still greeted everyone to eat and drink.
Drunk at night, everyone took their women back to their rooms and planned to relax. Only Zhang Tu hadn't married yet, so he led the three of them to the guest room.
A group of brothers all looked at him with strange eyes, Zhang Tu rarely became angry, made a rough sentence, and even smashed a chair.
"This group of people who are full are thinking about some messy things every day." Zhang Tu walked a little wobbly, and suddenly laughed, "Little sister, do you think my life is comfortable, happy and carefree?"
Qinghe didn't answer, she knew that the other party didn't need her answer, but some things had been backlogged for a long time, and she couldn't vomit quickly.
"They all say that my big brother is good, but they never thought about it. Our village is getting bigger and bigger, and the court is already very jealous. It sends people to encircle and suppress it every year. Although Zhang Hai, a dog official, wears the same pair of pants as us, in the past two years we have grown more and more. It's getting more and more crazy, and I open my mouth in the lion every year. There are many brothers, but the money is small and the hands are too much, and the life is almost unbearable. Now the brothers have started to go down the mountain to make money when I am not paying attention. "
Zhang Tu walked in the night, sighed and then spoke, which made Qing He feel uncomfortable.Even the young Qingyang understood that this man named Zhang Tu should not be a bad person, and his anger dissipated a lot at first.
Erbai followed behind them without saying a word, but looked at Zhang Tu with very complicated eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Where is the way to retreat? At this point, there is no way to retreat." After speaking, Zhang Tu stopped and laughed, "The guest room is here. Because there are no guests, this house is a bit simple, but it can still be used for people. You have heard it and forget it when you wake up.”
"Brother Zhang..."
Qinghe looked at the other party's bleak back and couldn't help but speak.
"how?"
"It's okay." Qinghe lowered her head, and dragged one big and one small into the house.
This room is not too big, even a bit shabby, the quilt is obviously newly brought out, after all, how can there be a new quilt in a room where even the tables and chairs are covered with dust?
Qinghe drank some wine and became a little dizzy. She spread the quilt and sent Qingyang, who was already sleepy and rubbing his eyes, to go to sleep first, "Erbai, let's sleep too. The bed is a bit small, make do with it, and the rest Think about it tomorrow."
The younger one couldn't help but fell asleep soundly, the older one was a little drunk and soon fell asleep, the second baijiu had a good amount of alcohol and had good physical strength, propped up with one hand and looked at Qinghe under the dim moonlight.She used her hands to trace Qinghe's eyebrows and eyes bit by bit through a layer of air, her expression was tender, as if she was doing something very serious, she didn't blink her eyes.
"Qingqing, I like you, I really don't want to be separated from you..." She lowered her head and touched the sleeping man's cheek very lightly with her lips, almost whispering.
"such a pity……"
It was late at night, and the mountains were quiet.
·
Early the next morning, Qing He was woken up.
Erbai had already opened his eyes to help Qinghe count the eyelashes, one by one, counting half of the people is enough, and the eyelashes brushed across Erbai's fingers to tickle them.
"What's going on outside?" Qing He spoke vaguely, her eyes were dim and did not wake up, "It's so noisy."
"I don't know, it seems that someone is here." Many people.
Erbai didn't blink, and continued to count, but unfortunately Qinghe kept blinking, she kept counting from the beginning.
What's the matter with them.
"Qingqing, go on sleeping, that kid hasn't woken up yet."
Qinghe closed her eyes and opened them after a while, "Get up, the sun is rising."
When they all got up and went out, a group of disheveled men walked and put on the clothes, and the knives in their hands were dancing around, and the knives flashed from time to time. When they saw Qinghe Erbai looking at them, they were very proud and stood up. He straightened his chest and showed off in a brisk manner: "How is it? Isn't the master very strong!"
Before he could puff his chest out, a scream like a slaughtered pig came out of his mouth. He hugged his feet and jumped around on the spot. It turned out that Erbai picked up a small stone and flew it out forcefully. On his toes, it hurt like hell.
"Stinky bitch, just wait, I'll deal with you when I come back, sir." After holding a knife and showing off his power for a while, seeing Erbai stare, he was so frightened that he scrambled and ran to the gathering place.
When they walked to the gathering place, Zhang Tu saw it and casually reminded them not to run around.
"The government has brought soldiers. I'll take some people down to have a look. Don't run around, be careful of being injured by random knives and arrows."
"Leave half of you here and watch, and the rest of you will go down the mountain with me, and we will meet those pustules."
Then I went down the mountain shouting "kill" and "let them see how powerful we are".
"Qingqing, I want to go down and have a look." Erbai rested his chin on Qinghe's shoulder, speaking out what was in his heart very honestly.
"Sister, I also want to go and see." Qingyang blinked his eyes with longing.
What Zhang Tu said before going down the mountain is still in my ears, Qinghe: "..."
"Yangyang, stay here and don't run around. Erbai, follow me to the mountainside to have a look. Don't go down, lest you really be regarded as an enemy."
"Sister, why do you always treat me like a child?"
Erbai rubbed Qingyang's head vigorously, turning the latter into a bird's nest, very disdainful, "With your small body, aren't you a child, can you still be a real man? Heh, I've never heard such a funny thing." big talk."
"Qingqing, let's go." While walking, he turned his head and gestured to Qingyang, "Scholar, please tidy up your clothes before we talk."
Qingyang originally wanted to chase him out, but he stroked his messy hair, stomped his feet a few times, gritted his teeth and stared at the back of Erbai's head until the other party disappeared, and then went back to the room full of anger.
Hmph, don't watch it if you don't watch it!
The two had just walked halfway up the mountain, but they couldn't hear any yelling or killing.
Qinghe and Erbai looked at each other, the former asked Erbai blankly: "Is this normal? Isn't it a confrontation between the two sides?"
"Probably still negotiating?" Erbai laughed after finishing speaking.
"Let's go and have a look, I'll protect you, you won't get hurt." After speaking, he pulled Qinghe and ran down.
"Slow down, slow down, don't fall!"
"Don't worry, it won't."
When the two of them had just reached the foot of the mountain, a minion behind him couldn't help but shouted back when he saw it.
"Boss, the woman has gone down the mountain!"
Then Qinghe and Erbai felt all the eyes of hundreds of people from both sides, and cast them on them.
"what happened?"
