Hearing this, Gou'er had the strongest reaction and asked hurriedly: "Uncle Zhang, where did you see that Taoist priest? My father and I went to Xilai Tower today, but we didn't see that Taoist priest."

"Just now..."

Just when Zhang Youwei was about to speak, Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly said: "Don't say it yet!"

She shouted again to go to the Lu family's yard After closing the door and making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she said, "Let's go to the kitchen to talk!"

Jiang Jiuniang knew that she was a thoughtful person, so she nodded and followed her to the kitchen.

In the past, there were many Lu families and the kitchen was quite big. Now, when two families come together, they don’t feel too crowded and it doesn’t hinder their conversation.

Zhang Youwei then continued: "In the alley next to the Xilai Building, he was unshaven, had wounds on his body, and was dressed like a beggar. While everyone was entering Xilai When he was going upstairs, he ran away secretly."

"I was worried that I might alert someone, so I chased him to see him, but what I am sure of is that he went to the east part of the city."

The people living in the east part of the city are relatively mixed, with everyone there, and it’s really hard to find them for a while.

Jiang Jiuniang asked: "Brother Zhang, are you sure he is that Taoist priest?"

"Yes! Although he is in a very embarrassed state, I have known him for so long. , I will never admit my mistake. Seeing that he has been having a hard time recently, I originally thought he could live a good life, but I didn’t expect that he would not even be as good as before."

Speaking of this, Zhang Youwei sighed, they are all pitiful people!

In the past, I could make a living by cheating rich people on the street, but look what this is called now.

"In that case, he probably just ran out of Xilai Building. In other words, the source of everything happened in Xilai Building."

Although It was already known that the inside of Xilai Building might be controlled by bandits, but Jiang Jiuniang still acted like she didn't know and told Zhang Youwei and his family not to panic.

However, she still needed to be reminded. She thought for a while and said: "Brother Zhang, the situation at Xilai Building is unknown and its safety cannot be guaranteed. You can set up a stall somewhere else during this period. In short, the farther away the better, but try to stay in the center of the city where there are many people, and don't go to the edge of the city."

Zhang Youwei knew that this matter was not easy, especially with the Taoist priests like that. , nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, otherwise I won't go out to set up a stall tomorrow. I can just rest for a few days."

Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes, it wasn't the case before Do you want to go hunting in the mountains? You can try it just in time."

Jiang Jiuniang said: "It's best not to go to the mountains. I'm not sure.Is there anyone hiding in the mountains? "

Zhang Youwei was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it safe in the mountains? "

Jiang Jiuniang nodded. Since those people are bandits, it's impossible to call everyone to the city. There must be some in the mountains. I just don't know which mountain they are ambushing. Just don't go there anyway. .

"Okay, there are only a few days left, you can just rest at home for a few days! Tong'er, you two go to the academy early tomorrow morning and don't come back. If you stay there for a few days, I'll ask your father to send you whatever you need, so as to avoid danger on the way back and forth. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang immediately made up her mind, and the three men nodded repeatedly.

Sister-in-law Zhang learned from Sun, that both men and sons must listen to her own words, in this family She has good talents.

Jiang Jiuniang arranged things in an orderly manner for Sister-in-law Zhang. She didn’t talk much. She was just helping the dog prepare the food for a while. When Sister-in-law Zhang saw it, she sent her husband and son back first, while she herself He stayed to help Jiang Jiu Niang prepare it, and finally helped them fry two dishes before leaving with satisfaction.

Looking at the two freshly baked dishes in front of him, Gou'er said: "Mother, Aunt Zhang It's amazing, it was done so quickly. "

"There are specialties in the art industry, and you are also very good. ”

Lu Baichuan didn’t come back all night. Although Jiang Jiu Niang was a little worried, she still tried her best to calm down her emotions, check the dog’s homework, and do some maternity exercises before going to bed, but she soon recovered. He fell asleep.

It wasn’t until noon the next day that Lu Baichuan came back. By the way, he brought food to the two of them, and the family of three gathered around to talk.

“ I sneaked into the mountains last night, and the wife and children of the owner of Xilai Lou were all gone. What those people said was that he didn’t take his wife and children back to the village at all, but they were taken care of on the way and left in the mountains to feed the wolves. . "

I searched the boss's home and the bandit's lair, but couldn't find it anywhere. No wonder the bandit kept refusing to let the boss see his wife and children.

" I won't let them have an easy time with these bitches if they fall into my hands! "

Jiang Jiuniang slapped the table, and Lu Baichuan said again: "I haven't found that Taoist priest either. I don't know if he was also poisoned. "

"No, no! "

Jiang Jiuniang waved her hands and said, "Brother Zhang saw him yesterday and said he was heading east of the city. He looked unkempt and looked like a beggar. "

"Huh? "

Lu Baichuan was a little surprised. Gou'er repeated what Zhang Youwei said last night.

"In that case, there is also a clue about the Taoist priest. I asked the county magistrate to send someone to find out the whereabouts of the Taoist priest. I will also checkWho is instigating these bandits? I don’t believe that a group of bandits can have such ability and attract so many outsiders to go crazy. "

Lu Baichuan still feels that someone from Dongting should be behind it, but there is no evidence.

"Just do what you want, and pay attention to your own safety. "

Jiang Jiuniang nodded, knowing that he knew what he knew, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, she was raising a baby at home, so she couldn't be of much help.

Gou'er He also said: "Dad can work peacefully outside, and I will take good care of mother. ”

At this time, in a remote alley in the east of the city, a beggar was wolfing down a chicken bone he had just picked up from the ground. He had not eaten for several days, and now Even chewing a chicken bone feels like the most delicious thing in the world.

He never dreamed that one day he would end up like this.

Those people forced him to make up nonsense before. I made some random hexagrams, thinking that as long as I listened to them, my family would be released, but by chance I found out that my family was not captured by them, but killed.
< br />Those bandits are not humans! They are beasts!

His family members were all killed. He guessed that he would also be dealt with, so he ran out when the defense was lax.
/>
I dare not go back home, and I dare not show my true face to others, so I can only live like a beggar in the city.

Thinking of the murdered family members and my miserable life, I couldn’t help but cry.

“Here it is! catch him! ”

A group of government servants suddenly broke in and surrounded him.

The chicken bones in his hands were frightened. Pingxuan looked at the government servants in front of him and his legs were numb. Trembling.

“Why, why did you arrest me? "

The leading yamen officer snorted coldly and said: "You little thief who steals chickens and dogs, who will catch you if I don't catch you! Get it for me! ”

Pingxuan felt that he had been misunderstood and wanted to run away, but the road ahead was also blocked. He wanted to struggle, but he was no match for these government officials. He suddenly felt that the sky was falling.

The leading yamen officer came over, held him down, and whispered: "There is a group of people looking for you everywhere. If you want to survive, just follow us and join the yamen!" ”
