Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3361 Tragedy

Yang Ruoqing originally planned to go back to the house to read Xiao Yu's letter after Uncle Chang Gen and the others left.

But after they left, she first accompanied Sun and Yang Huazhong to talk about Xiao Yu and the affairs of Changgen's family. It was really a mess, and all kinds of conflicts became a ball of threads.

After Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun left, Yang Ruoqing chatted with Zuo Junmo about things in the Baidi Valley area for a while.

"In the early years, when I was betting on goods, I also passed by the waterway of Baidi Valley. There are canyons on both sides of Baidi Valley, which are very steep. There is a stream in the middle, and the water flow is fast."

"There are river bandits near Baidi Valley, and in the nearby mountains, almost every mountain has bandits occupying the mountain as king."

"The river bandits intercepted passing ships, and the bandits robbed pedestrians, vehicles and horses on the land road. That area was very chaotic before."

"Not only did they attack passers-by, but they also ate gangsters. They never stopped fighting each other, fighting for territory, and the fight was bloody."

"Later, in the area of ​​Jiang Bandits, there was a man who stood out in the scuffle, and finally conquered all the small-scale Jiang Bandits in that area and took them under his command. That man was called Brother Mao."

"Brother Cat, I have dealt with him twice before. How should I put it, I personally think Brother Cat is a man, but the way he walks is different from ours, but if you know what happened to him, you can understand him The difficulties." Zuo Junmo said.

"Brother Zuo, tell me, I like listening to stories." Yang Ruoqing said.

"The so-called bandit has its own way. Brother Mao was actually a catcher in the county government in his hometown before he became a Jiang bandit. He learned martial arts since he was a child, and he is also an upright man."

Hurry up?
Yang Ruoqing blinked, although the policeman is not a high-ranking official, he still eats the emperor's rations.

If you can mess around, the gray income of the catcher is very good. Being a catcher alone can support a family of seven or eight, and in a place like the county town, life will be more nourishing.

"Later, because of his too upright temper, he was excluded in the county government, and he pushed the job in a rage,"

Here, Zuo Junmo continued.

Yang Ruoqing listened carefully, grabbed the jar of warm water on the table, and refilled the tea bowl in front of Zuo Junmo.

Zuo Junmo was touched by her little action, and a tinge of warmth flowed through his heart, and then he said: "After this brother Mao stopped being a policeman, those gangsters who were punished by him in the past began to take revenge on him." .”

"Or, at the instigation of his former colleagues in the yamen, they secretly tripped him and his family."

"His ten-year-old son, on the way home from school, was blocked and beaten up. Both of the child's hands were broken. He will no longer be able to hold a pen. It's completely out of play."

Yang Ruoqing frowned, these people are really evil for doing such immoral things.

"That's not enough," Zuo Junmo continued, "Brother Mao found the group of people who interrupted his son's hand, collected evidence, and went to the yamen to sue them, but the people in the yamen have long been in collusion with that group of people,"

"Not only can't give justice to Brother Mao, the bitter master, but he also bites back and puts blame on him. Brother Mao was so angry that he yelled a few times in the courtroom. As a result, they roared in the courtroom and arrested Brother Mao on the grounds of contempt for the imperial court officials. went to prison."

"This hurdle lasts half a month. During this half month, in order to get him out, Brother Mao's family sold their property to open up relationships."

"In the end, Brother Mao was fished out, but the house was completely desolate. The family needed to eat and drink, and the son needed medical treatment. As a last resort, Brother Mao sold the family house and rented three rooms in the most dilapidated alley in the county. Living in a residential area."

"But the house leak happened in Lian Yeyu. His 14-year-old daughter accompanied her mother to the night market to set up a street stall, and was molested by bad guys. The girl was so stubborn that she was killed on the spot. The mother couldn't bear the blow. crazy."

"The crazy cat sister-in-law goes out to run around every three days, and the cat brother has to earn money to make ends meet, so he can't take care of her, so he has to leave it to the old lady at home to take care of her,"

"One time Madam Cat ran out again, and she went out for three months. When she came back after three months, Madam Cat's stomach..."

Zuo Junmo didn't say anything, his handsome face had been gloomy before, but now there was a hint of red.

Yang Ruoqing understood in an instant, but she also took a deep breath.

Crazy cat wife, she got pregnant by a man outside.

It may be that Brother Mao's enemies deliberately disgusted Brother Mao, or it may be those beggars and homeless people on the street...

No matter who it is, this is an insult to Brother Mao and a torture to that poor woman.

Here, Zuo Junmo continued: "Just like that, after another year and a half, brother Mao's mother also died of illness, and he couldn't even afford a coffin when he left. In order to protect his only younger sister from those The bad guys are killing me, trying to marry my sister far away, "

"Maybe it's God's pity that he didn't let his family die completely. Brother Mao's brother-in-law is kind-hearted. He runs an breakfast shop and treats his sister well."

"Brother Cat entrusted his son to his sister and brother-in-law, and then on a dark and stormy night, he took a knife and two packs of rat poison, and went to the homes of those enemies one by one..."

"No one was left alive, cats and dogs were poisoned to death, Brother Mao was issued a wanted warrant and became a repeat offender, but no one knows where he went." He said.

"He went to Baidi Valley, and Luo Cao became a Jiang bandit for the bandits." Yang Ruoqing.

Zuo Junmo nodded: "That year I passed through Baidi Valley on a bet, and met Brother Mao. Maybe it was fate, but I even had a good chat with him."

"Then in the first half of the year, I sailed through Baidi Valley again, and I went to visit Brother Mao. My fleet, even if I didn't escort the ship myself, passed the river around Baidi Valley, and no one from Brother Mao would touch it. , and even escort.”

"However, three months ago, Brother Mao died suddenly..."

"Since then, the Jiang bandits on the side of Baidi Valley have started to break the rules, unlike when Brother Mao took them with them, they just charged some tolls and let them go, and they didn't hurt people's lives at all. When Zuo Junmo said this, he sighed and frowned.

Yang Ruoqing said: "They all said that the leader should be called He Lao Liu."

Zuo Junmo said: "The name He Laoliu, I heard Brother Mao mention it. He Laoliu was not originally a Jiang bandit, but the leader of a bandit in a bandit den on the opposite mountain, but he is a confidant of He Laoliu's. Cousin, the two of you often visit each other."

Yang Ruoqing's heart moved, she leaned forward slightly, and said, "Is it possible that He Lao Liu secretly colluded with that confidant of Brother Mao, killed Brother Mao, and then replaced him?"

Zuo Junmo said: "There is such a possibility."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head with emotion: "Brother Mao really had a tragic life. Now people are dying like a lamp going out, I hope he won't suffer like this again in his next life."
