Chapter 384: so life saving
Chapter 384 So life-saving
Zhang Yuan finished expressing his emotions and started talking about business again.
There lived a man in the villa. He was once a boy at the best inn in Xijing. His family was also favored by the Bai family.
At that time, he was still young and did not understand what happened. He gradually realized it after the Bai family was destroyed. So, I really learned a lot from him.
The person who came to handle the Bai family case booked the inn where he was staying. No one in the store is allowed to go out! Don't talk about things in the store, it's very strict. Anyone who violates the rules will be beaten!
The person in charge is an adult named Jiang, not a local official. It is said that his father is a second-rank official in the capital.
Mr. Jiang is in his early thirties, very arrogant, and always speaks his mind. Originally, the local prefect and county magistrate had been with the Bai family for many years, and their relationship was not close, but harmonious. The Bai family did not pay less taxes, and they often produced products to support them, so they were unwilling to take this step.
But Mr. Jiang slapped the table and glared at them, and they did not dare to say anything.
Mr. Jiang is accompanied by a young man. Many things were given by that young man. A chef in the inn said that the young man had the accent of his hometown and was from near Huaishan in Yuanzhou... Master Jiang called the young man Li Qun. "
“Li Qun?” Wen Yu and Qi Wu looked at each other. It turns out that this person appeared so early.
Mrs. Qi has been listening carefully, but she is a little confused. Looking at my son and daughter-in-law, they want to hide something from me...
Zhang Yuan said: "It seemed that things were going smoothly, and the two of them were very happy. But unexpectedly, the villa suddenly exploded without any precautions, and many people from the government died. The matter was too big, I heard Lord Jiang sorted around the stolen silver treasures and then reluctantly put the matter down.
But the man named Li Qun disappeared inexplicably, and Mr. Jiang had people chasing him everywhere. Regarding what you asked me to ask, if there is a woman named Tan in the Bai family, I actually found out! "
Tan? Mrs. Qi’s eyes lit up.
Master Qing and Yibai have been listening quietly.
Zhang Yuan said: "Mrs. Bai's surname is Tan. The Tan family has no relatives in the area, but many years ago, relatives of Mrs. Bai's natal family who were in trouble came to seek shelter and were taken in by her. They were a mother and daughter. The mother's name was Tan Shuya. My daughter’s name is Tan Yanling!”
Mrs. Qi exclaimed: "Is it really her?"
Wen Yu nodded to her mother-in-law.
Zhang Yuan continued, "On weekdays, people can see Tan Shuya. And Tan Yanling lives in the villa, just like the girl from the Bai family. We only see each other occasionally. After the incident in the Bai family, it came out that Tan Yanling was Diagnosed as pregnant.”
“What?!” Mrs. Qi couldn’t control it anymore and screamed!
Wen Yu smiled and patted her mother-in-law on the arm.
"She went to see a doctor. It was too much for a big girl to explain... The doctor told his wife when he got back. It was only after the Bai family's incident that the news came out. This mother and daughter were not affected by the Bai family's affairs. Some people saw When they ran away, they never went back.
Some people say that the child belongs to Mr. Bai. But some people said it was impossible, because the woman was asking a matchmaker to marry her daughter, and she also said that Mr. Bai and his wife wanted a dowry of one thousand taels!
Some people also saw her meeting the man named Li Qun privately several times in the teahouse. Maybe the child was Li Qun's. "
Master Qing said to Mrs. Qi: "Madam, what Tan Yanling is carrying is the current Aunt Xiuyun. She should be my eldest brother's. But... Madam, although my eldest brother is suave, he is really not a bad person!"
Never get along with your wife’s natal niece. We sisters have seen how the eldest brother treated her, and he treated her like a little girl with a poor background. Therefore, this must be her plan! "
Mrs. Qi nodded: "Seeing Master Qing and Yibai, how can I know your eldest brother's character? Besides, I have been dealing with the Tan family for many years, and I know that this is her style of doing things!"
Master Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Her real name is Li Danniu! Yan Ling was given to her by her eldest brother..." She really hated it, her eldest sister-in-law's small act of kindness...
“Li Da Niu?” Mrs. Qi looked at Wen Yu again.
80% of Wen Yu and Master Qing knew about these things, so they were not surprised.
Zhang Yuan continued: "After asking for a long time, we only found this information, so we went to the area near Huaishan Mountain. No one knew about the woman named Tan, but when we asked about Li Qun, many people knew about him. Because he used to be A popular figure in the local area! The seventeen-year-old scholar had been to Li's house several times during the reign of the county magistrate. It was a pity that he was asked to accompany him when he was taking the imperial examination. A fraud case was discovered, and even the scholar's reputation was taken away.
His father married into the Li family. Mrs. Li was sterile and Li Qun was the son of a second wife. This exemplary wife is Tan Shuya! After his accident, Mrs. Li went crazy with anger and kicked him out of the house. "
"This is too bizarre..." Mrs. Qi murmured.
"After Tan Shuya gave birth to Li Qun, Mrs. Li gave her to a poor bachelor in the family, and then gave birth to Li Danniu. The man was useless, drank and beat his wife, and wanted to sell Li Danniu to a brothel. Therefore, Tan's He escaped with Li Danniu and ran to Xijing to find his relatives. "
“So that’s how it is!”
"Yes, what's even more unimaginable is that that man turned out to be a long-lived man! He lived to be over eighty before he died, and he yelled about these things all day long. So, decades later, we can still find out! The ins and outs of these things have been found out. , but couldn't figure it out, how could Tan Yanling meet the Marquis and ask him to take her to Beijing?
So, I returned to Niujiazhuang. This time the Chinese New Year is approaching and many people are returning to their hometowns. I met an old man named Niu Xi who returned to his hometown to visit his grave. We finally know everything..."
Everyone was waiting for Zhang Yuan to continue, but Zhang Yuan suddenly burst into tears, "My grandfather was killed by this old witch Tan!"
“What?!” Wen Yu and Qi Wu were both shocked.
Zhang Yuan was sobbing, unable to make a sound. Thinking of my grandmother's early death, my father becoming disabled, and my brother being busy outside. I am following such a beast again... Humph! After he knew everything, he thought about it: Qi Yue, just wait for me!
After a pause, he added: It turns out that Tan Yanling and Tan Shi escaped from Xijing and suffered a lot. In the end, they almost starved to death and were rescued by an old hunter. The old hunter's wife and children were no longer alive, so he saved them and asked Tan Shuya to be his wife. With nowhere to go, they followed him back to the mountain village.
In the village, Tan Yanling gave birth to a girl.
This Niu Xi has three brothers. He is short, ugly, thin, and has no ability. He saw that Tan Yanling gave birth to a daughter before getting married, and felt that he might be able to marry her. He secretly watched her, followed her to the latrine, opened the window and peeked at her bathing etc... (Of course, he only said this after five glasses of fruit wine!)
The old hunter went into the mountains with others to hunt. Tan Yanling didn't have enough milk, so Tan Shuya took the baby down to the village to find milk. Tan Yanling left the village to go shopping in the town.
Niu Xi is still following behind. But she found that she met two injured people ahead and took them home. Cleaned the wound and cooked.
One of the young men, who was richly dressed, was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood. He would wake up and faint at other times.
Tan Shuya came back with the child in her arms, but Tan Yanling asked her to take the child to the village to stay for one night.
“My grandfather saw all this and thought that she was afraid that the gangsters would chase her and the child would be unsafe, so he told her that he had left marks along the way and that rescue would arrive tomorrow at most.
Early the next morning, Tan Yanling asked my grandfather to help fetch water. Then, the two of them walked a little further away from the house. She, she took advantage of her grandfather's unpreparedness and brutally chopped his head with a hatchet!
When her grandfather reacted and struck back, she was also injured. However, she was very fierce and slashed at my grandfather's head regardless of the situation. Grandfather was already injured...and he kept carrying the Marquis on his back. Before his physical strength could recover, he was finally defeated and died..."
“So, that’s how she saved Mr. Hou’s life!” Mrs. Qi said expressionlessly.
Zhang Yuan wiped his tears: "Niu Xi saw the injured person's dress and style, and secretly scolded Tan Yanling for being snobbish, but refused to leave, so he took it all in his eyes. He said that the woman was like an evil spirit, He was so frightened that he ran away and never dared to go back again.
A few days later, he heard that Tan Yanling had gone somewhere, but Tan Shuya and the little girl stayed behind. Later, Niu Xi was adopted by an uncle in his family who had no sons, and left Niujiazhuang.
A few years later, Niujiazhuang suddenly caught fire, and his brothers and the villagers all died.
But no one mentioned Mrs. Tan and the little girl..."
