Chapter 233: hidden secret
Chapter 233 Hidden secrets
Gu Dashan was stunned. He didn't expect Li Daxi to ask him this.
Li Daxi added: "The Li family and his son are cunning and cruel. They have already sent people to play tricks on us once when we were in the government office. I don't want to be fooled again."
After the father and son were sent to the government office, they were locked up with a group of purchased victims. However, a man came over to marry them, saying he was a relative on his mother's side.
They have never been to grandpa’s house, so they don’t know who is in grandpa’s house? When the father and son saw that the man could tell some things about his mother, they believed him.
After acknowledging his relatives, the man asked the father and son for food every day when giving out rations.
They, father and son, thought that the man was a relative of their grandfather's family, and they were hungry, so they gave most of their rations to the man.
As a result, when they were taken away, they found out that the man was a jailer who had taken twenty taels of silver from the Li family and was deliberately playing tricks on them and his son.
Although Li Daxi is a servant, he is literate, smart, and a little arrogant. He is very concerned about being put in this situation and being teased by others. After seeing Gu Dashan, although he felt that this person looked similar to him, he still had to ask clearly when meeting him for the first time to avoid being fooled again.
What’s more…
Li Daxi looked at Mr. Qi next to him and sneered: "How good Mr. Qi is."
He has no good impression of the Qi family. If it were not for the protection of the Qi family, the Li family would not dare to be so arrogant.
And this uncle is with Mr. Qi, let alone whether it is true or not?
Hearing this, Mr. Qi glanced at Li Daxi and frowned, feeling very displeased with this rude young man.
"My name is Gu Dashan. I am from Gujia Village, Gaoshui County, Long'an Prefecture in the northwest. I fled from the northwest to He'an Prefecture last year and have now settled in Tianfu County, He'an Prefecture. Your mother's name is Gu Daya, and Pan is not our relative. Mom, that’s the stepmother. Your mother and your sister are both good friends. Now they live in the Jiang family’s house. Your father..."
Gu Dashan looked at the man next to Li Daxi. The man was stooped, with gray hair, his face was covered with injuries, and his body was still trembling. He looked no younger than Da Ya, and looked like he was in his fifties.
“Are you Qi Pan?” Gu Dashan asked.
When the man heard this name, he was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that this was his previous name.
He nodded, smiled at Gu Dashan and said, "Hey, I'm Qi Pan, eldest, uncle."
"Bah!" Gu Dashan spat at Qi Pan and cursed: "Don't call me uncle. My sister followed you, but you took her into slavery. You have no conscience."
Qi Panpan was spat on by Tou Tou, but he didn't dare to talk back. Da Ya had been following him for all these years, and she really didn't have a good life.
When they first entered the Li family, they were the lowest-level servants. It was not until Daya gave birth to twins that Mrs. Li felt that Daya was blessed, and their lives became easier.
Li Daxi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Dashan's words. It seemed that this was really his mother's eldest brother and his biological uncle.
but…
"I'm not a thief. I didn't steal anything from the Li family. It was Li Junping and his son who were too shameless. I just wanted to protect my sister."
Li Daxi just said this and stopped. It was about Li Shuangxi's reputation, and he didn't want too many people to hear about it.
Gu Dashan did not ask further questions. He just wanted to save people now. After confirming that it was them, Gu Dashan said to Mr. Ma Qi: "Master Mr. General Qi, please help me to take them two back. My nephew is still young. He You can’t work in the mines.”
General Ma Qi accepted the one hundred taels of silver notes from Mr. Qi, which meant that he was willing to let Li Duofu and his son go: "Okay, for Brother Jiang's sake, you can take them and his son away."
"Shaozi, bring the booklet." Shaozi took out a booklet and turned it to the page with the names of Li Duofu and Li Daxi. He crossed out their names and wrote next to their names. A few words: Died of illness on the road.
This is not the first time Mr. Ma has escorted someone, he has done this many times.
Besides, there is chaos on the northwest road now, half of the strong men were killed or injured, and no one will ask questions.
They took more than 200 people into custody this time. They were afraid that the road would be unsafe and more people would die than before, so they took so many people into custody.
Seeing that Mr. Ma had crossed out the names of Li Duofu and his son, Jiang Jiao hurriedly thanked him: "Brother Ma, you are so generous. Thank you so much for being here. You have a good journey. When you come back, I will treat you to a drink."
Ma Zongqi smiled and said: "Okay, then it's settled."
"You, how dare you release someone privately? This is a person who has been registered in the government office!" Someone among the strong men who were being escorted suddenly said this.
These strong men were all victims of the famine. Because their families had no money to settle down, they were sold for money. They were already feeling bitter, but when they saw that Li Duofu and his son were rescued on the way, their bitterness instantly turned into resentment. .
As soon as someone spoke, others stood up and shouted: "Yes, you release people privately, this is against the king's law!"
Ma Zongqi was happy when he heard this and became angry: "Damn it, Shaozi, give me a beating!"
"yes."
The soldiers under his command were immediately divided into two. Half of them drew their sabers and surrounded the strong men; the other half held iron rods and beat them with bang bang bang.
"ah-"
Screams rang out, and the strong men kept begging for mercy, and they finally stopped.
"Mom, you still dare to fight against me. Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, go to your family. Your family sold you. If you make trouble with me, I can't kill you!" Mr. Ma kicked the last person. The strong man who yelled first beat him half to death and then stopped.
When the group of strong men saw this, they were all frightened, and they were all trembling with fear.
What Mr. Ma wants is for them to be afraid. If he doesn’t make them afraid, and he causes trouble on the road, he will be the one who dies.
Mr. Qi is still a good person, so he took out another banknote and handed it to Mr. Ma Qi: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ma Qi."
Ma Zongqi got another banknote and said with a smile: "Second Master Qi really has a big business, so Ma will accept it."
Mr. Qi doesn’t mind spending money, as long as it allows them to rescue people smoothly.
Ma Zongqi and the others wasted a lot of time. After taking the money, they picked up the strong men and continued on their way.
Jiang Jiao and the others did not delay when they received the person, and drove the carriage to He'an Mansion.
I passed a town on the way and went to the town to see the injury on Li Daxi's hand. The doctor said: "This is a bone that was broken by someone else, and it was not connected properly when it was connected. You should hurry up and take advantage of his injury." In a few days, I will go to Fucheng to find a doctor with good medical skills to re-set his bones. Maybe his hand will be healed, or else he will not be able to do heavy work in the future, even holding chopsticks."
When Gu Dashan heard this, he didn't dare to delay. After paying for the medicine, he bought some food and water in the town, bought two pairs of clothes, and rushed towards He'an Mansion without stopping.
At Jiang's house, Gu Jinli had already learned the secret behind the murder of their family from Gu Daya's mother and daughter.
