Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 63: Robbery

In the dark night, horse-drawn carriages galloped on the official road leading to Zhaoqing Prefecture. The driver tried his best to make the carriage run faster, but the load on the carriage was too heavy. Can’t run faster.

In addition to horse carts, there are many donkey carts and even a few ox carts on the road. Similarly, they are also full of people, and some who cannot squeeze into the cart can only hold the handlebars and run along. The convoy pulled back and forth for a full two miles. There were men, women and children. I didn’t know how many large and small bags were brought.

There were many cars and people, but the night was too dark and pitch-dark, so they could only rely on the torches in front of them to guide the way. Soon, a horse-drawn carriage crashed into a tree by the side of the road because it was in a hurry, and the car rolled over. The man’s scolding, the woman’s complaining, and the children’s crying were mixed together, and the people behind were heard. is flustered.

The overturned carriage belonged to Wang Shiyun, a jewelry businessman in Deqing City. After hearing the servants say that a car had overturned, Wang Shiyun jumped in a hurry and asked the housekeeper to quickly move the jewelry on the car to other places. In the car, as for the injured servants, they don’t care, let them fend for themselves.

“Steward, take us with you!”

“Master, you can’t leave us!”

“Master, I’ve been with you for more than ten years, you can’t leave me!”

A few injured servants dragged their sons and daughters holding the steward’s legs, hoping that the boss would bring them along, but what they got was ruthless curses from the steward, and the usually friendly boss also changed his face and was extremely impatient. He kicked away a guy who had been in his house for more than ten years, and then walked away without looking back.

The guy’s daughter, an eight-year-old girl saw that her father was beaten, and rushed to the owner’s side crying and shouting, grabbing the corner of his clothes and preventing him from leaving, but was carried aside by a thug from the nursing home.

Seeing that the owner was so ruthless, the man’s mother-in-law cursed viciously in desperation: “Wang Shiyun, you have no conscience, you must die…” After cursing, she hugged her husband whose leg was crushed and the corners of her mouth were bleeding. His daughter burst into tears, and the miserable voice was particularly piercing in the middle of the night.

When the old woman in a carriage passing by heard the woman’s cry, she couldn’t help frowning and asked outside the carriage: “Which family is so cruel to leave people behind?”

The butler who was sitting with the driver outside the carriage turned around and said, “Taida is from the royal family.”

“No wonder, Wang Shiyun is not a good person, but the master is close to his family.” The old woman shook her head, her eyes fell on her husband beside her, she held his hand nervously, and whispered: “Master, Ming The army won’t catch up with us, will it?”

Ye Jinglian patted the old wife’s hand lightly, comforting her and said: “If the Ming army wants Deqing City, what do they push us to do, don’t worry, it’s already a few miles out of the city, and there are no fingers outside, where is the Ming army? I know we ran away.”

After listening to her husband’s words, the old woman felt a little relieved, and then complained a little: “Master used to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, and should not do things for the people of Manchuria. Now it’s alright, we will run away when the Ming army comes, sigh… .”

“What do women know!” Ye Jinglian didn’t like listening to his wife’s long-winded words, and because he was in a irritable mood, he couldn’t help but grow louder, “The Ming Dynasty is dead, and this world belongs to Manchuria. , the so-called people who know the current affairs are Junjie, and the husband is also for the sake of our Ye family. Is it true that the Ye family will be eliminated from the officialdom and become an ordinary family? Nanming will never grow up!”

Seeing that her husband was angry, the old woman didn’t dare to contradict her, so she could only murmur: “Then you don’t have to do those things that are sorry for the Ming Dynasty.”

“If my husband doesn’t do those things, will Lin’er be used by the Governor?”

When the husband mentioned his son, the old woman was speechless. The couple just sat like this for a while, and Ye Jinglian suddenly scolded: “Tang Sanshui dares to charge me one thousand taels of silver, this **** doesn’t even look at who the husband is! … I must call Lin Er in the back. The Governor-General will sue him.” After a pause, he sneered again: “But I don’t know whether the money ended up in the hands of Tang San’s sailors or the Ming army. If he died in the Ming army, it would save trouble.”

But the old woman said: “Master, silver is something outside the body after all, then President Tang Qian took the risk of letting us out of the city is benevolent, but I can’t remember this…” Just as she was talking, she heard the butler outside the carriage scream in panic: ” Sir, there seems to be a horseman chasing after him!”

“what!”

Ye Jinglian trembled, lifted the curtain and looked back, and saw a group of people riding horses with torches chasing after him from a distance. In an instant, his face became extremely ugly.

………

“The Ming army is here, the Ming army is here!”

The sudden appearance of the cavalry behind made the fleeing crowd agitated. The last few cars stopped, and the people above shouted and ran to the woods on both sides of the road, lest they run too slowly and the Ming army would kill them.

Zhou Shixiang took the lead, and the art masters were bold. Relying on skilled equestrian skills, they crossed the crowd and rushed directly to the front to force several carriages to stop. The official road was immediately blocked, and the vehicles behind could not walk if they wanted to.

“Everyone, run away!”

The old and young families who couldn’t move the carriage screamed and jumped out of the carriage, holding the soft goods in their arms and running to the sides.

“Stop them, stop them!”

There are a few families with solid foundations and great wealth, who have a lot of nurses and nurses. Seeing this, they shouted that those nurses were trying to resist, but under the swords of the Ming army, those nurses could only be pigs. The sheep were usually slaughtered, and many people rolled their heads to the ground without even screaming.

In the darkness of the night, I don’t know how many cavalry soldiers came from the Ming army. The guards were very timid in their hearts. And scattered.

“Ma Wu~www.readwn.com~ Ma Wu, take the master away!”

Because of fear, Ye Jinglian almost lost the strength to stand, pulling his old wife and begging the guard leader Ma Wu bitterly, crying when he spoke.

“Master, if it were an ordinary thief, the little one would definitely protect you, but it’s the Ming army, and the little one is just a nursing home. How can you fight them, sir, take care of yourselves, the little one runs for his life first!”

After Ma Wu finished speaking, he spread his legs and ran towards the woods in the west. As soon as he ran, the rest of the guards followed.

There were panicked and fleeing crowds all around. Ye Jinglian, who had only the old wife and the housekeeper by his side, was so frightened that he was about to cry. He pleaded bitterly to Ma Wu, who had run away more than ten feet: “Brother Ma Wu, take your master… I’ll give you the money, all the money…”

Perhaps it was the silver that played a role, and Ma Wu, who ran out, gritted his teeth and brought back two of his subordinates, one by one dragging Ye Jinglian and his old wife, but just after running a dozen steps, his body froze, but he stood there. , Take a closer look, Ma Wu’s back called the spear and stabbed a blood hole in the boss.

“My goodness…”

Ye Jinglian’s old wife usually eats fast food and recites Buddha. Where did she see this scene, she fainted with fright at that time, Ye Jinglian was also trembling, and her legs weighed thousands of pounds, and she couldn’t get out. The housekeeper even choked his mouth desperately, retching.

Seeing this, the two guards who turned back quickly let go of their hands and ran away.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, give you everything, give you everything…”

Ye Jinglian lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, but he didn’t know who to kowtow to.
