Chapter 187 Problems with the Ground

After the reunion, Lv Songli and his group went directly to Liaoxi County.

The towns here have the unique scenery of the northern border towns, but the atmosphere is obviously tense.

In fact, they had this feeling after entering Youbeiping County. When the locals first saw them as strangers, they would be very vigilant at first, but when they found their skin color and appearance, they would relax immediately.

Xu Zheng and his group went to inquire in the clothes of officials, and then an old man trembled and told them the reason.

Last year, these cities and counties bordering the Xianbei were ravaged.

Because the Xianbei went south to plunder the supplies of the people of Dali in winter, this was almost a drama that was staged every year. There were wars here every year, and the Xianbei would fight until the snow almost melted before withdrawing.

Therefore, after autumn, the people here are used to staying indoors.

They can see so many people coming out at this time, because the Xianbei withdrew their troops early last year, and it was almost spring plowing, so people dared to come out.

In fact, the Xianbei withdrew its troops early, which was somewhat related to the Qin family.

Last year, in the northern border, General Qin Yue, in a battle before his death, directly crippled the Qianghu tribe, which severely frightened the Xianbei tribe. Affected by the war situation in the northern border, the Xianbei withdrew their troops early, which allowed the people in Youzhou, Liaoxi and Liaodong counties and other places to have a peaceful year.

The Qin family has been guarding the northern border. When they heard the news, except for Qin's mother and Lu Songli, no one else felt anything. The children were fearless, and knowing that there were other cousins ​​living in the northern border, they were a little curious about such a life.

Qin's mother has been living in Chang'an City for physical reasons.

Lu Songli has been in a peaceful era in later generations and has not personally experienced wars and wars. In later generations, China's murder rate per 10,000 people is 0.7, and public security is better than that of the United States. Therefore, when Lu Songli heard these things, his brows were tightly knitted. Living in such an environment, it is really too insecure. Change, must change!

Xu Zheng also inquired about it. The price of houses and fields here is half the price of Chang'an City.

As soon as they arrived at a village in Liucheng, they saw a dozen villagers holding kitchen knives, hoes, mallets and other objects, chasing a young man in his twenties and beating him.

The young man was seriously injured. His head may have been injured and blood was flowing down. His legs may also be injured, causing him to walk with a limp.

A young woman protected the semi-conscious man and shouted at the people who came, "Stop! He is my cousin, not an adulterer! Mother-in-law, husband, you talk!"

Qin Sheng saw the injured man, his face changed slightly, and he was about to step forward, but was quickly pulled by Lu Songli.

"What's wrong?" She asked in a low voice.

"Save him!"

"Why?"

"Longcheng." Qin Sheng whispered two words.

Lu Songli understood immediately that this man was related to the 100 hectares of land in Longcheng!

She had consulted the geography records. Liucheng was an important town in the northeast. Longcheng was located to the north of Liucheng and to the west of Longshan Mountain. It was not far from here.

Lu Songli looked at the man and woman being chased by the crowd.

The villagers on the opposite side also found Lu Songli and his group.

An old woman with a mean look glanced at them, "Don't worry about these outsiders, catch the adulterer first!"

The young woman asked for help from Lu Songli and the others, "Kind strangers, please, save my cousin!"

Qi Zhenniang protected her cousin tightly. She didn't dare to think that her only relative, her cousin, came to seek justice for her, but was beaten by her husband's family. Now her mother-in-law and the others were still not letting her go. If her cousin got into trouble because of this, she would be blamed for her death.

The mean old woman's face changed immediately, "Strangers, I advise you to mind your own business!"

The people from the same village advised, "Old Ma, forget it, just teach him a lesson."

The person who said this was quickly scolded by Old Ma, "Bah, you are talking without any pain in your waist. Is it easy for our Ma family to marry a daughter-in-law? If he dares to steal my Ma family's daughter-in-law, he must be taught a lesson!"

The villagers murmured that it was not easy for your Ma family to marry a daughter-in-law, but I didn't see you treat the daughter-in-law you married well.

At this time, the young woman shouted at her husband, an honest-looking man, "Ma Zhongping, tell me, why should I, Qi Zhenniang, divorce you? My divorce from you has nothing to do with my cousin!"

"I tell you, I've had enough of these years."

"Lian'er is our only daughter. The doctor clearly said that her ear disease can be cured. As long as we save enough money to treat her before she turns three."

"My daughter wants to be treated, but my parents-in-law don't support it at all, but I endure it."

"Working hard every year, from the beginning of the year to the beginning of the year, I have to work hard every year. By the end of the year, I was reluctant to eat and wear anything. For my daughter, I was willing to do so. "

"Every time I saved a little money, your mother would come and take it away. Now Lian'er is eight years old, and she is still not cured!"

"Your mother said that she took the money we earned together, and it was her duty to respect her elders. Okay, I admit it. But why did she take the thirty taels that my cousin and I borrowed?"

"Since you can't protect your wife and daughter, what's wrong with me divorcing you?"

"After ten years, Qi Zhenniang saw clearly that this man was unreliable. As long as she was still in this family, her daughter would never be cured.

"Old Lady Ma: "Bah, it sounds good, you are obviously snobbish, you despise Zhong'er, and then you have an affair with your cousin. You want to divorce and remarry your cousin, don't even think about it!"

The youngest daughter-in-law of the Ma family: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. It's true that my mother took a little money from you, but she also did it for your own good. With that money, she gave you medicine, and she wanted you to recover and have another baby. "

"Yes, they are giving us medicine. Take our five taels of silver and give us five cents of cheap medicine."

Ma Zhongping said honestly, "Zhen Niang, don't listen to that doctor's deception. Lian'er's illness cannot be cured at all."

Qi Zhenniang: "Even if it can't be cured, I am still willing to spend my money on my daughter! Instead of wasting it on you, a big family!"

Mrs. Ma started to scream, "My son, it's terrible, it's terrible, your wife has lost her heart and gone crazy because of an adulterer. She really wants to abandon you and this family for the adulterer." It’s all excuses to treat my daughter!”

"My mother is right, you just hate being poor and love being rich!" Ma Zhongping said with red eyes. He thought that it was indeed after his wife's cousin became rich that his wife frequently thought about divorce.

Now that everyone heard it, things were very clear.

Lu Songli looked at Ma Zhong with cold eyes, his face flushed and his breasts exposed, and his expression crazy. The mother kept talking to stimulate him.

Just now Qin Sheng told Lu Songli that the injured man was named Meng Yun. He was once a soldier under his command. He was disarmed and returned home because of his injury. The one hundred hectares of land were entrusted to his care.

There is no one in Meng Yun's family except a cousin.

The other party may know Meng Yun's situation very well, and may have the intention of exterminating the family.

She has never been afraid to speculate on human nature with the greatest malice.

Ma Mu, who is greedy for money, sees the rich Meng Yun coming to negotiate a divorce with her daughter-in-law. Shouldn't the first thing she does is ask for money, and then hold on to her granddaughter so that she can slowly bleed out in the future? ?

Even if Zhenniang insists on taking her daughter away, but her plan fails in the end, she will still ask for another sum of money. This is her normal reaction.

Instead of what it is like now, it seems that the name of the adulterer must be pinned on Meng Yun's head, and then every sentence is used to stimulate the eldest son, as if he is trying to induce him to kill the adulterer.

"Sixth Young Madam, do you want to save someone?" Xue Xu squeezed in beside Lu Songli at some point.

"Um."

"Let me do it. Why do you need to take action on such a trivial matter?"

"Okay, please excuse me, Mr. Xue."

The two of them had only spoken a few words, and Ma Zhongping was already so instigated by his mother.

"I tell you Qi Zhenniang, you are my Ma Zhongping's wife in life, and I am Ma Zhongping's ghost in death! No man can ever take you away from me!" Ma Zhongping said harsh words while holding a mallet. As he came to the two of them, he raised his mallet and hit Meng Yun on the head.

Meng Yun was already half-conscious. Qi Zhenniang was protecting her cousin, but was forcefully pulled away by Mrs. Ma. Mrs. Ma held her daughter-in-law's hand tightly and watched this scene excitedly.

However, Ma Zhongping's mallet was stopped by Hu Guangcong.

"What, you want to take this opportunity to kill people?" Xue Xu, a little old man, walked out of the crowd.
