There is a saying that unless the whip hits you, you will never know the pain.

How can there be any empathy in this world? Those light words of comfort fall on the victim, which is a secondary injury.

In a different place, if her sister, who she depends on for life, is killed by the family extermination, she will do everything possible to let the murderer's family be buried with her!

If the masters of the Cui family deserve it, the slaves are innocent. Aren't the dead housekeepers Zheng and others innocent?

How can there be so much fairness in this world? It's just tit for tat!

However, Chen Zhao remembered that he would be gone for several days and was worried about the city. He told Yang Lihua, "Sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to come here for three to five days. You should go out less often with Zhuzhu, and even if you go out, you should take a guard with you. If something happens, Someone must go to the farm to look for me!"

Yang Lihua nodded and responded, "Okay, don't worry. We, the two of us, can't help, but we won't hold you back. Just mind your own business, and when you get the results, someone will send you a letter, so that I don't have to worry about it!"

Chen Zhao nodded and left the city with Chen Ruiyang, who was saluting.

Two days later, Cui's mother and son followed their parents' family to settle down at the farm.

The Cui family's farm is not as big as the one purchased by the Sixth Prince, but it still has a hundred acres of land and dozens of households.

The scenery in winter is not as good as in summer, but the advantage is that the view is broad and the air is a bit fresher than in the city. Therefore, everyone in the Cui family, old and young, were very happy. They looked here and walked there, and they all felt tired at dusk.

The farmers sent some vegetables, two hares and a pheasant, and managed to arrange two tables of special meals.

Everyone in the Cui family sat at two tables, men and women. Zheng Yan, the fat boy, had a few quarrels with his cousin over the chicken legs.

The little cousin is usually favored and is not polite at all.

"Your surname is not Cui. Even if you stay in our house, you still follow Zhuangzi! Get out, I don't want you to live in my house! The chicken legs are all mine!"

Zheng Yan didn't feel guilty and shouted louder than him, "This is my mother's home, this is my home! I'm going to eat the chicken legs, eat them all, and leave none for you!"

Seeing that the two boys were about to fight, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly acted as peacemaker, and her grandson and grandson divided a chicken drumstick between them to calm down the "war".

Mrs. Cui only has one son, and her eyes usually hurt. Now she saw her son crying while eating, and she naturally felt uncomfortable. But because of her mother-in-law, she didn't say much.

When she went to bed at night, when her husband was rarely around, she started to use eye drops.

"Master, my little sister has been living at home these days. There is a lot of noise everywhere. It's really noisy. I'm not afraid of anything, but my mother is old after all. My father passed away before, and my mother got seriously ill. Now she's so noisy. In this way, I am really afraid that my mother will fall down. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and if it is my mother... the whole family will be really uneasy. "

Boss Cui is also not a stand-up person. Previously, all his errands went smoothly because of his father's presence. Now that he is leaving, he feels the same strangeness as Zheng Bingyi.

He was wondering whether he should find some good things to send to Shangguan, when he suddenly heard his wife say this, and he remembered something.

"I've been listening to people in the yamen gossiping for the past few days. It seems that my brother-in-law caught a businessman claiming to be his uncle some time ago, which made a lot of people laugh behind his back! I remember that woman in the north and her family... are not dead Are you sure? Why did a brother appear again, and that snobbish Zheng Bingyi begged him to recognize him? There must be something fishy!

"You ask my sister tomorrow if she knows. Be careful that Zheng Bingyi has an affair. He was brought up by our father. If he dares to be ungrateful and treat my sister badly, I won't spare him!"

Mrs. Cui didn't expect that she could hear gossip by secretly complaining. Thinking of her sister-in-law's usual proud appearance, she was also happy to cause trouble for her sister-in-law.

So, she happily accepted the errand, "Okay, I will ask my sister a few questions tomorrow to let her be on guard." After the couple finished speaking, they fell asleep. They had some plans while half asleep and half awake, but they didn't know , no matter how much you think about it, there is no chance to realize it.

In the dead of night, a group of thirty or so horse bandits arrogantly broke into Zhuangzi and headed straight for the owner's house. Those who climb over walls, those who open doors, those who kill, those who set fires, they have a clear division of labor and are extremely skilled.

At first glance, he looks like a murderer who often does these things, and he is not merciless at all!

Some of the Cui family members who were sleeping soundly were hacked to death directly on their beds, while others who were alert and heard the noise simply ran to the yard and changed places to be stabbed.

Mrs. Cui and her son were sleeping in the wing of the old lady's yard. Before they knew what was going on, horse bandits broke in.

The bright sword flashed, and the neck was cold, not painful but disappointing.

Ms. Cui covered her neck hard and wanted to say something, but couldn't. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the woman in the North, the woman she resented and feared...

When that woman was killed by horse bandits, was she also so confused and at a loss...

Unfortunately, before she could figure it out, she lost consciousness...

The fire soon burst into the sky, and everyone in the house went to see the Lord of Hell in unison. Some villagers wanted to come over and help put out the fire, but the bandits were carrying knives and riding on tall horses. No one with enough courage would dare to come out and hang out!

In the face of life, most people will shrink back!

The horse bandits stood arrogantly in front of the house. When they saw that most of the house was burned, they ran away yelling and screaming.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they left Zhuangzi, they were blocked by a group of over a hundred people. The horse bandit was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and ran away, but he was also blocked from behind.

The bows and arrows were strung up, and they fell like raindrops. The flesh and blood of the horse bandits couldn't stop them at all, and they fell off their horses with screams!

The executioner who held the death scythe a moment ago became a dead soul in the blink of an eye. It can be seen that things are impermanent!

The leader of the horse bandits was quite clever. He hid under the horse's belly and escaped with his life, but he did not escape the fate of being caught.

Chen Zhao was walking in front with a commander. The commander kicked the bandit leader over and said, "After you have done something bad, don't think about making excuses. Tell me who the mastermind is. I will spare your life and send you to hard labor, otherwise you will be cut to pieces." You suffered, but don’t blame me for not reminding you!”

The leader of the horse bandits is also a smart man. How could he not know that he was being plotted at this moment? Although I am not willing to give in, my life is important.

He shouted directly, "It's an official named Zheng from the government office. He paid us five hundred taels of silver to come and kill people. He asked us to kill them all and set a fire. After the incident was completed, he would give me five hundred taels!"

I was afraid of being plotted, so I had already asked my men to follow his commander and find out where they were coming from. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that!

"I was bribed and I followed orders! Spare my life!"

Commander Chen Zhaotong looked at each other and both laughed.

Chen Zhao saluted and said, "My entourage also happened to pass by and overheard the horse bandits plotting. I was worried that I heard wrongly, but I didn't expect that these horse bandits really came to commit murder. Unfortunately, I reported it too late, so I didn't Timely rescue. However, fortunately, the mastermind was found out, and these victims can rest in peace.

"I still have to bother the general to catch the main culprit, but I heard that all the officials are scholars, and they have smart tongues. I wonder if I can get rid of my guilt in a few words?" (End of Chapter)
