Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 73
Hu Qian entered the restaurant, followed the sound and saw two men sitting there drunk and laughing.

Looking closely, it turned out to be members of the Unsheltered Assembly, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Wu.

Hu Qian hadn't seen these two for a long time, so he almost didn't recognize them.

So I found a seat and sat down, ordered some side dishes casually, and listened to their conversation.

The two drank so much that their bodies were distorted, and they spoke without any scruples.

Mr. Liu said: "I have already said that I must have fun with the twins."

Mr. Wu said: "Even if you have this thought, but the garrison mansion is now surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the verdict of Ma Shoubing has not yet been handed down, who can go in?"

"I've already considered this.

Judging from Ma Shoubei's guilt, the two of them must be sent to the Jiaofang Division.

When the time comes, let's go again, can't we have fun. "

"By that time, they would have been groomed several times by some bastard, so they'd be forced to do it, so how much fun would they have?"

"Brother Liu, what can we do?"

"If you want me to say, let's break into the garrison mansion at night..."

The voice behind was so small that Hu Qian couldn't hear it clearly, but he already had a calculation in his heart.

That night, he quietly waited around the garrison mansion, but at the fourth watch, the two men did not show up.

Another day passed, and the two still didn't show up.

He couldn't help shaking his head secretly, it turned out that they were two guys with lust but no guts.

On the third day, he still waited until the fourth watch. Seeing that there was no one around, he jumped over the wall to Ma Ningrong's room.

Just when they met, Ma Ningrong suddenly rushed over and hugged Hu Qian, crying, "Master, my mother is dead."

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked the reason.

It turned out that her old illness relapsed, and she suffered from the wind and cold again. After this accident, she died before even making it to three days.

The eldest son, Ma Hong, and the Ma sisters wanted to mourn their mother, but were rejected by the guards. Now they have to bury the corpse at home, waiting for the verdict.

Hu Qian was also filled with emotion for a moment, and was about to say a few words of relief when he heard a cough from someone outside the door, it turned out to be Cui Liu, Ma Ningrong's maidservant.

Hu Qian didn't want to be seen by her, so he hid inside.

Cui Liu entered the room and said softly: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Young Master is very sleepy, please go and help keep the spirit."

Ma Ningxue said: "Okay, you go first."

As he spoke, he opened the door and was about to step out when two black shadows rushed in, immediately strangled Ma Ningxue and Cui Liu's necks, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't call! Or I'll kill you!"

Cui Liu said: "Miss!"

The man behind immediately covered her mouth and stabbed her in the back with a knife, Cui Liu fell limp to the ground in an instant.

"It turned out to be a maidservant, so she died when she died."

Ma Ningxue was frightened out of her wits, and when she was at a loss, Hu Qian dodged over, and with a flash of white light, she cut the necks of those two people. When she looked carefully, it was Wu and Liu who she saw that day.

Ma Ningrong and Ma Ningxue hugged each other in fright, and it took a long time for them to cry softly.

Hu Qian said: "Don't make a sound, or you will attract guards."

The two nodded subconsciously, but couldn't help sobbing.

Hu Qian said: "Now is an opportunity, you just follow me!"

Ma Ningrong said: "But what about brother?"

"Let's go today, and I'll save him tomorrow."

Ma Ningxue was hesitant, and after a while, she heard someone outside shouting: "Someone came in over the wall! Go find it!"

Then I saw the flames flickering, and the sound of footsteps coming here.

"Sister! There is no time to hesitate!"

Ma Ningxue gritted her teeth, "Okay!"

Hu Qian immediately lit a candle, and suddenly ignited the bed curtain and quilt.

"Both of you hide inside! Be quiet!"

At this moment, the people outside shouted: "This is on fire! Come here!"

"boom!"

At the moment when the two guards knocked open the door, Hu Qian immediately cast the magical power of nightmare prayer.

"What a big fire!"

In the light of the fire, the two guards saw that Ma Ningxue, Ma Ningrong and the maid Cui Liu were all on fire, and the whole house was burned in a short while.

"They committed suicide in fear of crime! Quick! Put out the fire!"

The fire in the house was only a little bit, but in the eyes of the two guards, it was already a monstrous fire.

When they were frightened to find water, Hu Qian cautiously poked his head out to have a look. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately dragged Ma Ningrong and the others to escape.

After quickly arranging the two of them in a secluded corner on the left, he flew back again.

Throwing the three corpses onto the burning bed, igniting the screens, tables, chairs, doors and windows with candles, and then returning to the two of them.

The fire was gradually burning, and when the whole yard went to put out the fire, he took the two of them and jumped over the high wall, carefully all the way home, and found an empty house to put the two of them in.

The two were still in shock, completely forgot to wash up, and just sat there in a daze until dawn.

Hu Qian gave a few words of comfort, and then said: "I have wronged you for the past two days. After I go out, I have to lock them from the outside to prevent anyone from breaking in."

Ma Ningrong nodded, Ma Ningxue didn't know if she was frightened by Cui Liu's death, she just sat there blankly.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Hu Qian locked the door and hurried back to Shen Yuzhen's side.

Shen Yuzhen was already combing her hair at this time, seeing that Hu Qian came back so late, she probably understood, and asked in a low voice, "Did you pick it up?"

Hu Qian nodded, "I've locked the room south of Axiu, lest they break in."

"There isn't even a decent piece of furniture in that room, alas, they are really wronged."

So she spent the whole morning packing up new quilts, bed sheets and a set of toiletries, first quietly put them in her room, and then prepared for Hu Qian to send them over.

By noon, the news that the two ladies of the Ma family committed suicide by setting fire spread throughout Jinling City.

Hu Qian made an excuse here and asked Shen Yuzhen and Axiu to take all three maidservants out to play, while he moved the things Shen Yuzhen prepared into the second daughter's room and boiled water for them to wash.

About the same time, he locked the door again.

The two were thinking about Ma Hong and asked Hu Qian to visit Ma's house again.

Hu Qian just went out when he saw Yiqi going to the state government office quickly.

Not a moment later, Xu Yuanfang and other Jinling officials arrived at Ma Shoubei's house together with Yijin Yiwei.

Hu Qian also went in, because everyone knew him, so he didn't stop him.

When Ma Hong and others arrived, Jin Yiwei announced his will.

The result was just as Ma Shoubei had expected—he himself made a decisive decision, Ma Hongfa was sent to Lingnan to serve as the army, and the female family members served as the secretary of the Jiaofang, and all the family property was confiscated.

When it was confirmed that he was genuine, he heard that Ma Hong's mother died of illness, and the second daughter of the Ma family committed suicide by setting fire, that Jin Yiwei frowned.

But when the incident happened, many people said they saw it with their own eyes, and he had no choice but to report it truthfully.

Poor Ma Hong knelt on the ground crying to death.

With the imperial decree, Ma Hong will be escorted to Lingnan immediately.

Hu Qian was anxious, so he took a chance, pretended to help him up, and said in a low voice, "The two of them are not dead, let me save you, you go out of the city first, and I will intercept you at night."

Ma Hong was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Since this is the case, I have nothing to ask for. Instead of just trying to survive, it is better to go to Lingnan, maybe there is still a bright future."

After speaking, he pushed Hu Qian away, was shackled by soldiers on both sides, and escorted away.

When Hu Qian returned home, he told Ma Ningrong about this matter, and the two inevitably cried bitterly again.

Because whenever they are sent into exile, many people will get sick on the road, or starve to death, or die of illness, or even be robbed by bandits in the mountains and forests.

In short, nine times out of ten, they will not reach their destination.

After crying for a while, I thought about my future life.

Ma Ningrong said: "Sister, if you and I are the same, then follow the young master.

If you want, how about a bridal chamber tonight? "
