The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 68
The woman stroked A Kuan's head and said softly: "Get up, A Niang knows that you are still guilty of setting fire to the city.

Aniang will also help you repay these evil debts you owe to the world.

Since it is to save people, A Niang will naturally not stop you, you just remember that A Niang and your sister are still here waiting for you.

No matter what the future holds, as long as our family can still be together, we will have nothing to fear. "

Ah Kuan couldn't help nodding, being able to reunite with his family was really something that Ah Kuan never even dared to think about before.

During the period of working in Xie's house, Ah Kuan also met many people on the business road.

When he was arrested as a civilian husband, Ah Kuan didn't even come in time to inform his family.

After the capital stabilized, Ah Kuan asked someone to inquire about his family members.

Fortunately, his home was not far from the capital, so he found his aunt and sister soon.

But there was a famine at that time, and the bandits and bandits on the outskirts of the city were out of control, looting houses everywhere, and Ah Kuan and his village also suffered disaster.

Ah Kuan took his mother and sister out and let them hide in the stone cave where he used to play.

This is also the place where he can hide as he told Jin Bo when he was in the imperial city.

Come here from time to time to send some food to my mother and sister.

Ah Kuan originally planned to work hard in the Xie family for a few years, save some money, buy a property in the capital, take his mother and younger sister over, and live a good life.

In fact, according to Ah Kuan's current status in Xie's family, if he wanted to achieve this goal, he only needed to inform Xie Qiming.

But he is a person who has studied for several years. After setting fire to the city, he felt ashamed to reach out and ask for things he didn't deserve.

It's all right now, and because of Jin Bo, he had to leave Xie's house.

But that's okay, Ah Kuan saw the lives of those dignitaries, and he knew that even if he wanted to get rich and live a good life, he couldn't oppress others like they did.

So I didn't think it was a pity to leave Xie's house, but I probably won't be able to give food to my mother and sister in the future.

He didn't know where Jinbo was now, nor how long it would take him to go.

But now that he has decided to do this, there is nothing to hesitate.

After setting up the cubs, Ah Kuan took only two pairs of shoes, bid farewell to his mother and sister and set off.

He knew that Jin Bo was afraid of trouble, if he deliberately hid, it would be difficult to find her.

Originally, Ah Kuan thought that after Jin Bo left the capital, he would most likely go to find the property left to her by Concubine Ying.

However, Gu Lian and the others reported that Jin Bo had never visited those shops at all.

Qiyue Town is the only way to leave the capital. Gu Lian and the others are in the town now, and with their ability to find people, they have never seen Jinbo appear, so Jinbo has not yet left the scope of the capital.

But there are at least twenty or thirty villages around the capital, and banditry is so rampant.

Where would he hide, Ah Kuan was also at a loss, ran to the nearest two villages, but did not find any useful information.

Moreover, in order to avoid bandits and bullies, most of these villagers hid in the mountains, and those who stayed in the village were also very wary of unfamiliar people.

In addition to the crowds rushing to the capital to participate in the festival, finding a girl about eight years old was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Ah Kuan originally wanted to inquire all the way and go to Qiyue Town to find Gu Lian and the others for help, but he was alone, so searching aimlessly like this is really not a good way.

Halfway there, I felt something was wrong, Gu Lian and the others were also working for Xie Qiming and the astrologer.

They didn't find Jinbo because they wanted to save her. They had to find Jinbo one step faster than they did so that Jinbo would not be harmed by them.

I have been looking for it for two days, and the believers I met along the way enshrined Jinbo's portrait clay puppets as gods.

The more fanatical they were, the more worried Ah Kuan became. Seeing that the day of the winter solstice was getting closer, he thought of Nan Zhu who had left the astrologer.

Most likely he is also looking for Jinbo everywhere, and wants to take her back to prepare to sacrifice to heaven.

That evening, Ah Kuan was resting in a forest next to the official road, and just put a baked potato into his mouth.

Not far away, a group of people ran past, men, women, young and old, all running wildly, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Judging by their attire and donkeys helping to carry the ceremony, they must have rushed to the capital to participate in the sacrifice.

It's just that he didn't know what was chasing after him, so he ran forward like this.

Ah Kuan put away the baked potatoes, stepped on the fire with a few feet, and climbed up a tree in two or three steps.

That group of people also just ran to the edge of the woods, and someone shouted a word, and then scattered, each of them found some weeds and shrubs to hide.

But in the blink of an eye, a group of gangsters with knives on horseback chased after them.

The person in the lead had one eye covered by a black cloth, had a black red face with beards, and wore fur clothes, looking extremely fierce.

Walking to the edge of the forest, he stopped the horse and said while shaking the machete in his hand.

"I said, why are you outlanders who don't understand the rules, I'm not a bad person, but if I charge you some passing money, it won't kill you.

Why let me eat the ashes all the way.

While I am still willing to have a good talk with you, come out quickly, pay the road money and it will be over.

Don't wait for Lao Tzu to get angry, chop off a few, and you cry and call Lao Tzu a bad person. "

Those who hid did not dare to breathe, and no one would believe what the bandit leader said.

No one wanted to show up, they were all afraid that they would lose their lives if they stayed with Yin Zi.

The bandit leader yelled, raised his hand and chopped the machete on the big tree next to him.

"I've already said good things, you foreigners don't know what to do, and if you die or get injured next, you will be responsible for the consequences.

I can't blame Lao Tzu for being cruel. "

As soon as the words fell, the horse's belly rushed into the forest, regardless of whether there were people hiding in the wild grass and bushes, he just rode the horse and trampled on it with kicks and kicks.

The trampled person ran out of the bushes and was beaten to the ground by other gangsters with sticks.

For a while, the sound of crying pain came and went, and it was especially shrill and piercing in such an evening when the sun was setting.

Even Ah Kuan was implicated, he was driven down a tree, pushed and huddled with those outsiders.

The bandits began to rummage through their baggage one by one, searching their bodies, food, and anything worth a little money.

Those who resisted a little were beaten terribly and left to die.

Ah Kuan didn't bring anything out, because nothing was found on him, so he raised his hand to greet him.

Ah Kuan was not willing to do anything, although he knew that he would be beaten badly, and he didn't want to suffer such humiliation, when he resisted, he heard the bandit leader who had been riding on the horse let out a scream and fell off the horse.
