Chapter 329 The Brave Wins
The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

This mountain road is steep, with one side leaning against the mountain wall and the other side is a cliff.

The person who was thrown on the mountain wall was fine, and the rough-skinned and thick-skinned people would not die for a while.

But those who were unlucky enough to be thrown off the cliff, those who were lucky enough to hug the trees, those who were almost unlucky could only scream.

There were not many people left, and they felt guilty because they were frightened by the accident.

Xuan Yi and the others rushed forward, clearing everyone up in the blink of an eye.

"There are bandits up there who haven't come down, let's compare who killed more!" Meng Yao killed someone for the first time, but this kid was so courageous, not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but also rushed up with enthusiasm.

"Okay." Qin Yichen had fought with his sister before, but now he was provoked by him, and he was also young and fearless, so he immediately ran away with him.

Qin Jiashu didn't persuade much, but whispered to those who followed him: "Xuan Yi, you go and watch Ah Chen, Xuan Er, watch my uncle for me."

Even though she was reluctant to let them go through this at such a young age, according to the current situation, Qin Jiashu felt that if they wanted to live well in troubled times, they still had to rely on themselves.

Besides, even if there are people under him, if he can't stand up, how can he make the people under him loyal?

Fortunately, most of the people in the cottage have already rushed down, ready to catch a "fat sheep" for the New Year, and there are only more than 30 bandits staying on top. The people who appeared in the middle were also scared out of their wits, and were quickly captured by those who rushed up.

In this operation, they bullied more than they did, and their own martial arts were better than theirs, but they only suffered injuries and no deaths.

Meng Yao and Qin Yichen were also slightly injured.

Even if they have good martial arts skills, but lack of experience against the enemy, they will be injured if they can't react for a while.

Such a short board can only gradually become stronger by relying on battles.

Knowing that his youngest son and only grandson were both injured, Meng Yu was so distressed that he took care of their wounds himself, and he did not forget to praise his youngest son and grandson: "That's right, Yaoer, Ah Chen, you two are better than your elder brother and second brother." too much."

"You are blue out of blue and better than blue..."

The two half-year-old teenagers smiled so much that they didn't even feel pain from the wound.

Yu Wanniang saw that Meng Yu was talking nonsense, so she finally couldn't help interrupting him: "Come on, both Meng Yi and Meng Jin save trouble compared to Meng Yao, and if they bully more, they will get hurt. I think they are too Be careful."

Meng Yu had always been obedient to Wanniang in the past, but now seeing her youngest son blushing, she couldn't help but retort: ​​"What are you talking about, Ah Yao dares to kill people, look at Meng Yi and Meng Jin, which one dares to kill?" go?"

Yu Wanniang gave him a sideways glance, and said angrily, "You can be biased. Fortunately, Meng Yi and Meng Jin are not here. Otherwise, how sad they would be when they heard what you said?"

Meng Yu muttered: "If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have had so many sons, just one Yaoer!"

Worried about the injured brother, Meng Yi and Meng Jin who rushed back looked at each other, and could only comfort each other with their eyes.

Even if the father didn't want to see their two sons, the two sons couldn't bear to embarrass the father by appearing at this moment, so they could only turn around and leave.

When he came to the door, Meng Yixian sighed: "Ten years ago, people in my natal family were worried that I would not be liked by my mother. Who would have thought that in the end, it was my father who didn't want to see me."

After finishing speaking, he took another look at Meng Jin: "Fortunately, I was no longer young when my mother was pregnant with you, otherwise I would definitely suspect that you were picked."

Meng Jin gave him a supercilious look: "Come on, I now understand that what is an old son and a grandson are the lifeblood of the old man. Your son and younger brother are both darlings, and I am redundant."

Hearing this, Meng Yi couldn't help laughing out loud: "You are really right!"

His parents really love his son very much, after all, this is their only grandson now.

Thinking about it again, they fled the capital in a hurry, and the original marriage of the second brother was in vain again.

The world is so chaotic now, and I don't know when the second brother will get married.

Thinking about it this way, the second brother is really a poor baby.

Joy begets sorrow.

Meng Yi's laughter was too loud and was heard by Meng Yu. He came out with a sullen face, glared at his two sons and scolded angrily: "Yao'er is injured, you are still gloating here, are you trying to piss me off? ?”

"My son doesn't dare." Meng Yi only regretted that he didn't go far away before laughing.

Meng Jin also raised her face to look at her father: "Father, look at me, don't you realize that your second son also has a bitter face?"

Although Meng Yu said that he favored the youngest son, but the three sons liked each other, and now Meng Jin made such a fuss, he couldn't help laughing: "You are the only one who is poor!"

...

Qin Jiashu was very satisfied with the scenery halfway up the mountain.

She thinks this place can be called "paradise".

It is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by cliffs. Pavilions, terraces, corridors, pavilions and several courtyard houses with white walls and black tiles are skillfully built with rocks.

What's even better is that there is a waterfall on the top of the mountain, so that a pool of clear water is formed underneath, green like emerald.

The most wonderful thing is that the temperature here is much higher than outside. She can almost imagine that when spring comes, the mountain flowers and wild flowers will bloom, and the old trees on the hills in the pool will be slanted.

Of course, there are many wild animals in this mountain forest.

However, with their skills, it is absolutely impossible to become a meal for wild animals.

Just before a mountain bandit was thrown off the cliff, she heard the howling of wild wolves, and she thought in her heart that after she settled down, she could go hunting and treat it as practicing arrows.

Qin Mu was satisfied with the environment here after a rough look, so he told his eldest daughter, "The rest of the bandits ask separately to see if they find anything."

"I'll take people to the top of the mountain to investigate later, and then arrange people to patrol and defend..."

Qin Jiashu also opened his eyes wide after hearing his father's words: "Father, you left all these to me, so what are you doing?"

Qin Mu said without shame: "I still need to take good care of my body, and your mother is even weaker. If I don't leave these things to you, who will I leave them to?"

He patted his daughter on the shoulder again, and said with relief: "My dear daughter, I will rely on you to support my parents from now on!"

Then he said to Mu Zhaozhao: "Our children are grown up, and we can all enjoy life in peace."

Qin Jiashu couldn't see it.

Her father is not yet forty, he is in the prime of life, but he wants to be lazy, and wants to be in charge of the house?

She looked at her parents with resentment on her face: "I don't want to take care of things, and I also want to be a young lady who doesn't touch her fingers."

The scenery here is good, the air is good, and she still thinks that when she settles down, she can sleep until she wakes up naturally, and run around all over the mountain to catch chickens and chase wolves?
If I let myself take care of these things, then how can she be a salted fish?

Mu Zhaozhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Silly boy, even if your father asked you to take care of things, then you can still ask your uncles, younger brothers and sisters to help?"

Qin Jiashu rolled his eyes and instantly understood: "Oh, this means that if Dad is the head of the family, if he pushes the matter to me, the second head of the family, I can also order things to be done by his subordinates."

So, she asked Xuan Yi and the others to interrogate the living bandits separately, and called her younger sister to interrogate them.

Before the two sisters took a few steps with the others, Meng Yi and Meng Jin also came over and followed them.

Most of the houses here are wooden houses, and it has been found out that many of them were built by bandits.

It turned out that the bandits were greedy for enjoyment, so they kept some maids and women who served Fu Dashan.

The mothers-in-law cook and wash for them, and the maids are of course rewarded by the head of the family as "meritorious officials" among them.

And this Fenghuang Terrace was built by Fu Dashan from Fucheng, who hired hundreds of skilled craftsmen, spent two years, and spent more than [-] taels of silver to complete it.

Because of its good location, if you go on horseback, you are only one hour away from Fenghuang Town, and only seven or eight hours away from the state capital.

Originally, the magistrate of the state capital was Fu Dashan's in-laws, but this year, the two families had a conflict, and Fu Dashan brought his wife, concubine and children to the built Phoenix Terrace to relax. Collusion, internal and external cooperation, the Fu family was slaughtered...

After listening to the words of more than a dozen women, Meng Yi always felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Aren't any of Mr. Fu Dashan's wives and daughters alive?"

Since Fu Dashan is not short of money, has many wives and concubines, and has many children from concubines, it means that there are many beauties in Fu's residence.

If they were real bandits, they would definitely be reluctant to pay Dashan's wife and daughter.

And even if there are female family members who can't bear the humiliation and commit suicide, it's impossible for all of them to be such chaste women. There will always be concubines who live by stealth, right?

More than a dozen women looked at each other, and finally said that after the bandits broke in, they could only work in the kitchen, and they didn't know if the former mistress was still alive?

Qin Jiashu asked Zixiao to take them to see the young women who were alive.

Speaking of which, although most of the bandits have been killed and half tied up, there are still many women and children in the Phoenix Terrace.

Afterwards, after careful questioning patiently, I realized that there are very few biological mothers and children.

Most of the women were abducted by bandits before, some died while giving birth, and some were beaten to death by bandits.

Qin Jiashu saw that the children looked at them with hatred and big heads.

Let her kill the children, she really can't open that mouth.

But these people can't stay, otherwise who knows if they will take the opportunity to take revenge.

There are many old people and children in the grandfather's family, and her own mother and younger sister are also weak. She dare not risk the safety of her relatives.

So she looked at Meng Yi and Meng Jin and asked, "Uncle, Uncle, why don't you give them some money and arrange for them to leave?"

Meng Yi hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "The older children regard us as murderers of their fathers and enemies. If we let them go and tell them in the town, our whereabouts will not be hidden."

Qin Qiluo asked in puzzlement: "Uncle, we are already far away from the capital, and no one here knows us?"

"Even if no one knows us, there will definitely be people who are envious of us occupying this good place." Meng Jin also understood the elder brother's worry after hearing what the elder brother said: "If it is spread by others, I am afraid that there will be many people Come looking for trouble."

After he finished speaking, seeing Qin Qiluo nodded shyly, he looked at Qin Jiashu again and said, "So, these people can't be let go."

Qin Jiashu also nodded, and immediately asked: "Have you found out? There is not much grain and gold and silver in this place."

As soon as they entered the mountain and subdued the bandits, they asked Zi Xiao and the others to lead a search for warehouses and granaries, and also inspected eight courtyard houses of different sizes.

But in the end, it was found that the two boxes of gold and silver were soft, and there were only a dozen sacks of various grains.

Meng Jin also felt that something was wrong when she heard this: "That's right, it is said that Fu Dashan, who is willing to spend 10,000+ taels of silver to build a Phoenix Terrace, wouldn't he only bring such a small amount of money when he goes out?"

Meng Yi also nodded: "Besides, the bandits have only been here for a month, so it is impossible to spend all the money of the Fu family."

He frowned: "Either they were hidden by these bandits, or the Fu family built a hidden warehouse here, and we haven't found it yet."

Qin Qiluo's eyes glowed with rare excitement: "Then let's send people to find the treasure?"

Qin Jiashu saw that his younger sister was interested in this, so he smiled: "Then you go treasure hunting, and my sister goes to see if the woman over there has found the mistress of the Fu family."

After Qin Qiluo took people away, Zi Xiao also came over and replied: "Miss, one of Fu Dashan's concubines is still alive, but her body is still very weak, Qi Xiao is seeing her."

Qin Jiashu got up when he heard the words: "Uncle, I'll go and have a look."

Hearing this, Meng Yi and Meng Jin were embarrassed to follow, and were going to sit with their brother-in-law.

The concubine of Mr. Fu Dashan was surnamed Liu. Although she was very haggard, she also gave people a weak and charming feeling. She was so weak that people felt pity.

It was originally picked up by the second master, and later he was favored by the eldest master.

It's a pity that she was in poor health and couldn't resist their brutality at all, so she soon fell ill.

The head of the family thought she was unlucky, so they moved her to the wooden house.

Qi Xiao gave her a needle and let her eat a few slices of ginseng. Aunt Liu finally regained her energy. When she heard that the bandits were either killed or arrested, she burst into tears. Facing Qin Jiashu's question , also very happy to say.

It turns out that the Fu family has been in the grain business for several generations, and they can be regarded as well-known wealthy businessmen in the state capital.

Moreover, the Fu family is also willing to do good things, so they have a good reputation among the people.

Patriarch Fu, who had suffered misfortune before, was less than forty, and he had a wife and three concubines in his family.

However, after Mrs. Fu only gave birth to a daughter, there was no news from her stomach, so she took in two concubines for her husband who looked good.

The two concubines are very capable of giving birth, and within two months of entering the house, they were both happy, and then both gave birth to sons.

In the past ten years, they have given birth to five sons and three daughters for Master Fu.

And her mother is a girl from a brothel, who happened to be groomed and listed, and was favored by Master Fu, so she entered Fu's mansion.

Although the two aunts sometimes targeted her a little bit, but the wife was kind and the master defended her, so she didn't suffer any grievances.

Later, the eldest daughter of the wife married the eldest son of the prefect of the state.

After becoming in-laws, the two can be regarded as collusion between officials and businessmen, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

But she didn't know why, Master Fu had a big fight with Zhifu Zhao, and finally Master Fu brought them to Phoenix Terrace with great fanfare.
