"Know or not, know, do you know, green, fat, red and thin" There are many thrilling clips in the original work. For example, Minglan was besieged by thieves twice, and each time was safe.
The most dangerous one among the two times was the first time, the most heartbreaking one was the second time,
The first time was on the way back to his hometown in Yuyang. After meeting a thief, there were dangers. Minglan and a group of maids were forced to dive into the water to escape. Fortunately, Gu Tingye rescued each other. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
was thinking, and suddenly there was a loud bang from afar. shocked the entire water surface. was shaken before stalking, and then looked at Changdong who was holding the chair.
—What happened?
Minglan hurriedly opened the window and looked up and saw a fire in the distance, as if one of the big ships was on fire. In the meantime, a person could be seen falling into the water; following the sound of Feng Shui, Minglan faintly heard a burst of shouts and fights, Changdong was lying on the window, with a pale face; at this time, a sharp whistle sounded on the side of the ship, as if the boatman was on warning.
After a while, everyone on the boat woke up. Minglan woke Danju and asked her to call the other girls. while pulling Changdong to find Changwu. Along the way, the boatman, maid and old men were lying on the side of the boat to look around. Everyone looked panicked. Minglan didn't go to see them, but rushed all the way to Changwu cabin. Yun'er was so scared that her face was pale and she sat there holding her slightly raised belly. When she saw Minglan, she hurriedly pulled her hand and said, "Your brother has gone outside to check. I just called someone to look for you. Bodhisattva bless you, it's okay!"
Minglan didn't know what was wrong outside, so she had to sit next to Yoon'er. Changdong stretched out his head and wanted to go out, but Minglan slapped him back.
Only a cup of tea, Changwu came back panting and said, " is a water thief!" The women were shocked and , and then Changwu explained the matter clearly in a few words.
The waterway that everyone is traveling is called Yongtong Canal. The Huaiyin section of the north-south canal is calm tonight, and many ships are mooring to rest. In addition to the Sheng family, there are two large ships of wealthy families, two guard ships, and several merchant ships in Baochanglong. Because they are all moored in the river, they all lean in the shelter at the gourd entrance. There are merchant ships in front and behind, and guard ships and passenger ships in the middle.
When everyone fell asleep, a group of thieves touched the ship at night and first robbed and killed several merchant ships in front and behind. Unexpectedly, one of the ships in Baochanglong was transported with tung oil. During the entanglement and fight, the guys from several business companies lit the cargo holds, and the oil barrels in the entire cabin exploded. The whole ship immediately sparked flames. Not only did the guys take the opportunity to dive to escape, but they also gave other ships a warning.
Minglan saw Yoon'er so scared that she couldn't help but tremble. She patted her hand and comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. I think this thief is not very clever. Anyone with experience knows that you should rob the passenger ship first. How could you run to the cargo ship first? This is not a shocking person...."
As soon as this said, Changwu, who had been tense of his face, couldn't help but smile and praised: " Liu Mei said it well, that's exactly what it said! It's probably a group of scattered thieves . Now they are entangled by the guard ship. There are sampan below. You can clean it up and it's fine to get to the left bank!"
The female family suddenly relaxed.
There are not many thieves, but they are better than the word "sneak attack". The ship is small and the attackers are inconvenient to hide, so they can only act violently. The right bank of Yongtong Canal is twisted and turned, and it happened to become a shelter, and the ships stopped here, , and the left bank is a vast reed land, with dense reeds being more than one person high, and it leads directly to the nearest Huaiyin Guard Camp . If you reach the left bank, the garrison's barracks will come to help, and the thieves who are chasing will not be able to catch up with it as soon as they disperse.
There was no concept of lifeboat in this era. Originally, the boatman on the shore had already asked the thief to stop it at night. Changwu finally got two small sampans. Fortunately, he had chopped people and knew some strategies to fight the enemy. so he asked people to pack up and get off the big ship, and asked people to light up the lights in every room of the whole big ship, and then asked people to run back and forth, which made the people on the boat very panic. The small sampan was not allowed to light a half-point fire on . Under the shadow of the night, he could go ashore silently.
In a hurry, the maids became more and more busy. Changwu kept urging. Yun'er was scary in her face, covering her abdomen, and her face looked painful. thought it had a fetal gas . Minglan looked at the fire that was dozens of feet away, as if fighting was in full swing, and said, "Sister-in-law is not well, I'm afraid I can't move later. It's better for my brother to escort my sister-in-law and the fourth brother first. I caught up as soon as I finished packing. "
Yun'er and Changwu refused, but seeing that the thief was not yet available, Changwu gritted his teeth, and left half of the guards and a small boat . Before leaving, he told him earnestly: "Some money will be gone, you will come up quickly!"
Minglan nodded and left the deer grass with Changwu.
In fact, she has estimated the distance from the other side. As a promising young man who is determined to go to the countryside, Minglan can swim even if only half of Yao Yiyi's swimming skills before; the rest, Danju can do some dog shovels, Xiaotao can take her to swim, and the few maids left by Luzhi and Yoon'er are also somewhat watery.
This time Changwu went home to attend the funeral. When the old lady passed away, he would worry. Changwu almost brought all the wealth accumulated in the capital over the years. It was really a lot. It was unreasonable. The group of thieves with low technical content ; Minglan commanded several maids to put all the light jade porcelain antiques and gold and silver jewelry into small bags wrapped in oil cloth, and was packing them when he suddenly heard the green branches venting on the side of the boat cheering: "I deserve it! Shoot them to death!"
Minglan hurriedly rushed over to look, and saw that on the side of several large ships not far away, some guards were shooting arrows into the water. Amidst the screams and screams, there were screams and screams. Minglan's heart tightened and immediately said, " is not good! Their ship was blocked, so they dispersed their hands and swam in from the water. "
The girls were all frightened. Minglan pondered for a moment, looked up at the small boat in Changwu that had arrived in the middle of the river. She responded quickly, pointed to the girls in front of her, and shouted in a deep voice: " You three throw the lights in all the cabins on this floor into the river, and don't leave any lighting objects. I took the green branches to tie the next floor. Xiaotao and Danju tied these thin-skinned small iron boxes with ropes. Xiaotao has good water quality, tied the rope to the bottom of the boat, and then put the boxes in the water! After that, I went to the kitchen of the cabin to meet up! Hurry up! "
"Girl, why don't we hurry up and walk on the boat?" One of Yun'er's big maids asked hesitantly.
Green Branch stared at her eyes and cursed, "Damn it! Girl let it do it, what nonsense! If it weren't for your master, our girl would have left long ago! You dare to talk too much!" Danju had a gentle temper and quickly explained, " There are thieves in the water now. How fast can we drive? If we are caught up, we will turn over our small sampan with a chisel! "
The girl immediately blushed and lowered her head.
Minglan was too lazy to get angry, it was not her own team after all; She immediately ran to the side of the ship outside, divided the guards into four batches, and protected the four groups of girls to move. After a while, the whole ship immediately turned black. God gave him face. The moon was dull tonight, and he couldn't see his four fingers.
Minglan ran all the way and quickly asked a group of servants to hide. went to the side of the ship to meet the enemy herself rushed straight to the kitchen and found many kitchen knives and forks and spatulas and pestles. When the girls who were acting separately came, all divided some "weapons" in their hands ; Xiaotao divided the iron pot, and the green branches were divided into the kitchen knife, and the other girls also took them. After preparing for
, Minglan asked the guards to go outside to be on guard, and then go to an inconspicuous cabin at the bottom of the ship to hide.
In the dark, the girls were waiting quietly, only vaguely hearing the sound of someone swallowing. This feeling was very long. Minglan knew that the girls were very nervous, so she comforted everyone gently: First of all, not all thieves could swim over and would be shot to death by arrows; secondly, there were three passenger ships here, and they would not all rush to their own ship, so there were fewer people; Again, this ship has two layers of upper and lower levels. There were twelve rooms in total. If the thief's mind did not enter the water, they should go to the wing room first, so that some people would be dispersed. Also, the thief was coming from the water, and there would be no fire on them. The candles on the boat and the firewood in the kitchen were all thrown into the river. Unless they broke the board or door frame to light the torch, it was a pity that the wood on the boat had been stained with moisture by the river water, which was not easy to ignite. If it was not clear, they would not be able to search. Finally, there was a cabin door behind the cabin, which went straight to the river surface. It was originally intended to be convenient for water to pour water. If the situation was not good, dive immediately.
Besides, that group of thieves would not have been delayed on the ship for a long time. Seeing that there was no gain, maybe they would rob one of them. Everyone would hide from it... After saying this, the girls felt much more at ease.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a shout from above, and the killing sound of weapons colliding suddenly started. Minglan knew that the thief was touching it, and secretly held a sharp long hairpin in his hand, and the girls breathed rapidly again; listening to the constant sound of fighting and shouting for help from the top, and then in the sound of suffocating and chaotic footsteps, the door panel was kicked away with a "bang".
Two black figures rushed in, cursing. Minglan had already been waiting and pulled the rope on the ground with a force with Danju opposite. With a plop, the one in front fell down first, just with the light outside, Xiaotao used all his strength to hit the man's head, and the thief snorted and fainted.
The second thief staggered a moment, and saw the girl in the room, and immediately called someone. A maid immediately raised the bench in her hand and smashed it hard. The thief groaned and shook it. Then another maid jumped up and hit him, throwing him to the ground. Minglan freed up her hand, stepped forward, stepped on his chest, and inserted it into the thief's chest with a hairpin. Blood was rushing out. The thief was about to scream when a handful of thatched gray was stuffed into her mouth, and then she was hit by something without any idea. When her eyes rolled, she fainted, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.
Danju held back the disgust and gently closed the door panel. Minglan directed the girls to take out the prepared rope and tie the two half-dead thieves firmly together, stuffing their mouths, not making a sound. After finishing the work, the seven girls in the room, including Minglan, looked at each other. After solving the two thieves, they suddenly felt their courage increased greatly. The fear in each other's eyes was diluted a lot, and they were a little excited.
After a silence, there was a silence, and I faintly heard along the air holes, ‘Not here! Going to look elsewhere, the girls' faces showed joy. Just when Minglan was relieved, a rough scream suddenly came from the head, and the voice was particularly bright. The girls listened carefully and it turned out to be: "...These wives spoke, go to the bottom cabin! It's said that this lady is still on the boat, brothers, come on! It's a big profit to catch it! There are also a few little girls with tender skin to make everyone happy! "
Minglan's face turned pale, and the green branch had already started to curse: "How dare they betray the girl!" Minglan didn't dare to wait any longer, and shouted to the girls with a stern voice: "Take off the coat and dive quickly!"
It was early winter, and the girls were wearing thick brocade cotton coats outside. After pulling it apart, they jumped into the water. There was a loud noise outside and footsteps were heard. The girls were panicked, and jumped down all the way .
As soon as Minglan entered the water, she felt that the river was biting cold. Fortunately, it was not the middle of winter, and she heard a scream in her ear, "No, someone has dived!" Go and catch it! ’ Minglan immediately stroked her arms, endured the cold that almost penetrated her heart, and swam to the other side with all her might. There was a sound of water coming from behind, and then there was a scream of a girl. I thought that she had been caught. Minglan sank her breath and sank into the water, trying not to let her head surface.
just swam a few times, suddenly his waist tightened, and an arm stretched out from behind to circle him. Minglan was shocked and immediately stretched out his legs to kick . Unexpectedly, the man behind him was extremely flexible. He turned over and came to Minglan's side, holding Minglan's arms with both hands somewhere. Minglan felt a soreness and softness in his arms, and then he asked the man to circle around him. As soon as he put it on, Minglan immediately felt that the woman behind him was a woman!
The woman kicked her feet a few times, and the two of them floated out of the water. Minglan faced the cold wind, took a deep breath, and then her chin tightened. The woman behind her clasped her face and turned to see that Minglan's skin hurt, bared her teeth and hissed, and then the woman shouted loudly, "I found it! That's it!" Her voice was overjoyed.
As soon as Minglan was free, she immediately rushed back with her elbows. The woman cried out in pain and tried harder. She had the skill. She grabbed Minglan's acupoints and grabbed her firmly. She also smiled and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, we are here to save you! You are the sixth girl of the Sheng family. What she said is that there is a pair of small vortexes on the corner of her mouth!... Hey! Come here, here!"
After saying this, the woman had not yet waited for Minglan to be surprised. She heard a slamming sound of the river flapping, and a small boat with several large lanterns came over. The woman seemed to have excellent water. She raised her waist and pressed Minglan to the side of the boat, and then lifted her with her powerful hands and lifted Minglan up.
As soon as the water surface was left, a wisp of bone-bending river wind pierced into Minglan like a needle. But in a moment, a thick quilt covered her head and face, covering Minglan up and down, left and right. Then the woman in the water also climbed onto the boat. Through her watery hair, Minglan vaguely saw a man like a big bear wrapping her clothes.
Minglan was trembling all over and quickly looked up. She saw that the boat was shining brightly by lanterns. Several men stood on the boat. She was busy wrapping herself into a big dumpling. She was tall and strong, wearing only a black old robe. A big beard covered two-thirds of her face. She had no half an ornament on her body, and only a pair of deep and handsome eyes seemed familiar.
Minglan blinked hard, suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart, and she said loudly: "Second uncle!"
She finally knew what it was like to see the police uncle when she met a group of malicious hooligans in Xiaohei Lane, although the police uncle had fined her for no reason.
Gu Tingye's eyes lit up, and there was no expression on his beard's face. He only heard him say softly: "Can you recognize me?"
- Excerpt from " Knowing whether it is green, fat, red, thin "
The second time was Gu Tingwei led the bandits to besiege the Hou's Mansion, and set fire to burn them to death. Fortunately, the slaves loyally protected their master, and It was Rong Jie'er's desperate efforts and everyone worked together to support the reinforcements. Otherwise, Minglan and his son might have died. After the arrangement of around
, it was time to light the lamp, Minglan sat upright in the desk in the house, the door was open, and he read the book quietly. He turned to " Peach Blossom Land Records ", and read the "Fragrant grass and colorful fallen flowers". He saw Liao Yong's family running straight from outside, his face turned pale and he didn't care about etiquette. While kneeling down, he said hurriedly: " outside... there are officers and soldiers outside surrounded our Marquis' mansion..."
Minglan slowly put down the book, "What did the person coming?"
Liao Yong's family swallowed: " said that the wife was disrespectful to the order and wanted to lock the wife up and convict her! Mr. Tu blocked the front and refused to open the door."
"I guess that's the same." Minglan smiled slightly, "I want to go to the front."
The soft sedan chair was prepared outside. Minglan shook slightly along the steps of the sedan chairwoman. The capital in early spring was unexpectedly cold, as if it was back to the cold winter in an instant. The north wind was walking rapidly among the trees, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, spitting a letter.
Minglan looked up at the sky. The night was as dark as ink, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse. The boundless darkness enveloped the sky. The surroundings were full of servants and maids, but the quiet needles were heard. The silence was as terrifying as darkness, she thought.
—But in my heart, it is as bright as the bright moon in the sky.
Like every life begins, like every bud is moved to bloom, all dharmas are empty and will never be born.
walked to the front hall of the outer courtyard. The courtyard was filled with strong guards. Everyone held torches, shining the night as day. The gate of the nearly three-person scattered Chrysanthemum was shot and thumped, and there were chaotic shouts outside -
"Gu Sheng's family will be captured quickly!"
"Gu's family's thief won't open the door quickly!"
"We are ordered to capture the thief. Those who open the door will forgive him for not being guilty and will be promoted!"...
Tu Da stood up and blocked a straight passage. Minglan helped Xiaotao walk over, and a palm-sized window opened beside the side door. Minglan leaned over and took a closer look. There were a large group of people gathered outside the door of . Only a few in front were wearing military uniforms, and dozens of them were dressed in various colors, with bandits, fierce faces, and cursing.
Minglan turned around and left the gate, stood at the height of the stairs in the main hall, and said loudly: "Please listen to me!"
There was a lot of noise inside and outside the door, and the dragon slayed and shouted: "Listen outside, our wife is here, you all listen to me honestly!"
The roar of Lian Jiazi was extraordinary, and Minglan's eardrums were buzzing, and the outside was indeed quiet.
Only heard an arrogant male voice outside the door: " Mrs. Gu heard that the last time I refused to go to the palace, which annoyed the emperor and the queen mother. I will come and catch me! Accept me quickly, and I will spare you the whole family!"
Minglan's willow eyebrows were thrust into the house and said neatly: "Be your dream of spring and autumn, I won't go!" The female voice with a high decibel is particularly clear in this dark night. The guard door in the courtyard couldn't help but sneer softly.
The man roared outside: "Well, how dare you do this?!"
"No, it's just because you have a deer-headed and mouse-eyed eyes, and you can see that you are a weak person who loses every move!" Minglan deliberately said in a slight voice.
burst into laughter all around, and even some laughter came from outside the door.
The other end screamed in anger, and his mouth was unclean. As soon as he suppressed the noise around him, Minglan interrupted coldly and said, "I know very well what you are a group of people! Don't pretend to be a human being, and those who rebel and rebellious dare to show their eyes!"
The four words "rebellion and rebellion" are extremely shocking, and they calmed down again outside.
Minglan raised her voice and said coldly: "Everyone can punish him, everyone understands this principle, but there are those who are blind. They feel that they are lucky and use their necks to knock the blade and insist on taking a gamble! Remember a few years ago, the 'Shenchen Rebellion', how many nobles and powerful ministers of the rebel king had helped him, hum, but so what? In just seven days, the late emperor quelled the rebellion, and you don't think about your weight. How much is the rebellion? I don't know if you can last for seven hours!"
She sneered and said loudly: " Stop talking nonsense. If you have the ability, come in. Don't coax people and cheat people and dogs. I advise the heroes outside to leave the seriousness before they show their appearance. There are some ways to make money. Don't trespass this muddy water. It's not a robbery of a rich family. You can finish it by losing your head. Think more about your wife, children, and the old and young!"
suddenly became as quiet as no one. After a while, the arrogant man shouted: "Don't bewitched by this woman. The gold, silver and jewelry in the Marquis' mansion are full of pits and valleys. Let's make a fortune tonight!"
Slaying the dragon also roared: " Our rank of marquis has a number. If you don't protect your wife, you will be severely punished when you look back! Lady promised that one arm would cost 100 taels of silver and one leg would cost 150 taels of urine. If you lose your life, your family will be taken care of by the Marquis' mansion! Brothers, after this, everyone will have a heavy reward, and you will be delicious and delicious in the future!"
With these two roars, the fight between the night officially began.
The sixteen vermilion inner fan was opened in the main hall, Green branch moved the tall Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, Minglan sat upright on it, looking at the fierce fighting in front, which was considered a scourge.
is subject to regulations. In addition to the imperial palace, the door wall of the marquis' mansion in Beijing is only slightly inferior to the royal palace, far taller and thicker than ordinary families, with two or three people taller. After the door is bolted by the door of the vermilion lacquer door, it must be broken by a heavy hammer; pounds the door outside, but there is no shaking at all, and it is useless to chop and stab with swords and guns.
The thief obviously didn't expect Minglan to be so tough. He wanted to scare her and become . At the moment, he had no ability to attack the door, so he had to ask for thicker trees to chop and hit the door, while urging his subordinates to jump in with each other and climb the wall.
Who knew that the Dragon Slaying had prepared many sharp wooden poles more than two meters long. Two people held them in groups inside the wall, but when they saw a head emerging from the wall, they poked them hard, screaming and several other thieves immediately pierced through their jaws or chests and fell down.There were also brave thieves who swung their swords to climb the wall. Unexpectedly, the wooden pole was tar-painted, and they could not move when they were cut by it. There were also those who were flexible and could not hit the wooden pole. Two archers in the door watched, and shot down after a few strokes.
stopped outside for a moment and began to shoot arrows inward, covering their accomplices to climb inward, and arrows were gathered. In a moment, several strong men holding wooden poles were caught in the arrows. Minglan quickly asked someone to carry the injured into the hall.
The guards turned around and saw the mistress sitting calmly in the back hall with her big belly. They all dared not slacken in anything. They all thought, "Even a weak woman has such courage, let alone a man." !
Dragon-slaying sword, causing people to climb up the ladder placed against the wall, take small packaged lime, avoid the rain of arrows, quickly raise their hand to sprinkle it out, lime flutters, and there is a burst of cherry screams outside, mixed with curses and exclaims-
"Close your eyes quickly, sprinkle lime inside!"
"What a shameless thing, you actually do such a despicable method!"...
Boss Tu couldn't help but sigh, "If you ask the brothers in the world to know, I, Old Tu, have no shame to see people... What are you looking at, kid, hurry up and continue to scatter!"
Nearly half an hour later, inside and outside gradually became quiet. suddenly heard footsteps, and it seemed that many thieves came again. Tu Long listened with his ears, his face changed drastically , and shouted in his mouth: "Brother, be careful, the thief is coming again."
After a moment, the thieves covered a thin strip of cloth on their eyes and roared and climbed the wall again. This time, there were many people attacking, and the wall was crowded with people, but it was too late to shoot arrows and pole.
At this time, the oil pan that was already set up in the yard had already burst into creeping smoke. The dragon slayed and asked someone to hand over a bucket of oil to the ladder, and then slashed and splashed down. The screams of ghosts and wolves screamed outside instantly. accompanied by the burnt smell of human flesh, which seemed particularly scary in the middle of the night.
Green branches had a pale face, their teeth were clattering and clattering, staring straight at the pool of blood on the ground. Xiaotao was much stronger, and when she had time, she helped move the wailing wounded.
It was spring at this time, and the servants who were pouring fuel were not afraid of wearing cotton jackets and leather hoods, but the thieves outside were all wearing thin spring clothes. Not to mention that they were immediately drunk by the head, half of their lives were lost, even if they were splashed around, they would also have a severe pain in their feet.
pouring oil far more than the other side of the situation. The thief suffered heavy casualties and the outside world was temporarily calm.
Slaying the dragon and sweating heavily, rushed into the hall, and said with a fist, "Mrs. , you can live a peaceful life for a while. "
Minglan's finger joints holding the handrail were slightly white, " They won't stop easily. "
"Madam, don't worry, my brother is taking his hands at the back door, there are enough hot oil pipes, there are many pickets!"
Minglan nodded stiffly, reached out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and stroked her stomach with one hand, feeling the beating violently. Perhaps the fetus felt this horror. Minglan felt pity and gently caressed the child with tears.
After less than an hour of calm, a blood-stained servant came from afar and said loudly, "Mr. Tu, that group of thieves ran to the back door. Tu Erye called a few helpers-!"
Tu Long turned to see Minglan, with a questioning intention in his eyes. Minglan smiled heartily and said, " Women don't know about offense and defense. People in the house are handed down, but everything is up to Mr. Tu! "
Slaughter secretly shouted "I want it", and he respectfully hugged his fist. He immediately picked up a group of strong men and ran back to help, and continued to be on guard against the front door with the remaining people. The thief attacked the back door and had to bypass the entire street, but the Hou Mansion ran straight in a straight line. Therefore, if you only need to block for a while, you can turn around smoothly .
In fact, the back door is easier to defend. Because the alley is narrow, it is only enough for four or five people to walk side by side. It is difficult to even hit the door with a large wooden stake. The thief cannot fully disperse, and it is more effective to squeeze in between three or five places, whether it is poured onto the boiling oil or sprinkled lime.
About two or three quarters of an hour later, the sound of shouting and climbing sounded again at the front door wall- The thief in front of me did not leave completely. He wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain. When the back starts to fight, the front may relax his guard.
Who knew that the Dragon Slaying had been guarding against this hand, and asked a few servants to guard the wall without blinking the breeze, revealing half of their heads everywhere, and immediately poked them over, and the other party fell down the wall without even being hummed.
Seeing this situation, Minglan couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Tu is indeed well-known! The strange marquis boasted all the time."
Slaughtering the dragon turned around and grinned, saying proudly, "It's all despicable tricks, I laughed. The lady has never seen the heroic appearance of the Marquis in front of the formation. That is invincible and invincible!"
Minglan was about to praise two more words, but suddenly a fire lit up from the side. Everyone in the front yard turned their heads together, I saw that the old courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion on the east side had become a sea of fire, and a miserable scream came from afar. Unlike others' fear, Minglan and Dragon Slaughter were very calm.
Slaughtering the dragon looked at the fire in the east, biting it with a bitter cheek: " These bastards really want to touch it from there! Alas, it's a pity that old house has been for many years! "
Minglan had no expression on his face and said lightly: "No need to be a pity. The precious things have been emptied long ago, and the ancestral hall is on the corner, and the fire cannot spread, it's not at all. Life is important, and the house can be rebuilt."
It was the beginning of the Yin Dynasty. Mama Ge led a group of servants to send her midnight snacks. Minglan also used half a bowl of rice porridge before putting down the bowl. She saw a fire lit up in the mountains and forests on the west side.
Minglan stopped his hand and looked at the place from afar, saying regretfully, "Oh, it's a pity that the cranes and deer on the mountain and a bride-raising little rabbits by two girls."
After a while, people reported to each other on the east and west sides, and they all said that the thieves had been blocked. It seemed that five or six of them were burned to death on the east side. The west side was in the forest, and they were not careful, and four or five were always indispensable.
Minglan gently stroked her chest, secretly calling for luck.
Ningyuan Hou Mansion with Chengyuan as the center, overlooking it is a huge square mansion with two doors in front and back, and the east and west are the old Hou Mansion house and a small mountain forest. To prevent someone from touching in from both sides, Minglan made a cruel decision and asked someone to arrange flammable fuel - the mountains and forests in spring are dense, and the old Gu family house is full of beams and woods, and burning overnight is not a problem. A wide fire belt was separated from Chengyuan and pulled the lead wire, but when someone broke in, he immediately caught fire.
Seeing that the old houses in the mountains and forests are all in a sea of fire, if it is a pity, it is fake, Minglan only hopes that it can really stop the thief.
At this time, the dragon slaying came over heavy steps and whispered beside Minglan: "Madam, this is wrong."
He had a great experience and knew that every time the accident happened, the ones that were accompanied by were mostly robbery and stealing. Therefore, he thought that with his arrangement, ordinary thieves would be no problem; Unexpectedly, after the fight was in the middle of the night, the two brothers were struggling and could only struggle to resist .
"The thief has been killed or injured no less than 30 times, but he is still so stubborn... This group of people seems to be instigating behind the scenes." After so long, he found that there were more than a hundred people on the other side. After the first two rounds of fierce fighting, he ran away many idle gangs. It was vaguely estimated that there were only fifty or sixty people in the thief's core. To date, more than half of the other side have been killed or injured, but he still refused to retreat. It is really strange.
Minglan wants to be deeper.
This time, there are only two types of people who will come to the Hou Mansion. One is a bandit gang that took advantage of the situation, which is also the focus of the original defense of Boss Tu. The other is a rebel who rebels.
The former seeks wealth, and there are too many wealthy and wealthy people in Beijing. Which one is not to grab it? Why not let it go? It is a tough bone of the Gu family?
The latter seeks power and wants to capture Minglan as the quality. If the Gu family is forced to die, then what threats can they use? It would be strange if Gu Tingye does not fight to take revenge; But the group of thieves in front of him are extremely vicious, and they are obviously here to kill themselves.
"You said..."
Minglan's face was solemn, and she turned her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar cry outside. Xiao Cuixiu ran over with disheveled hair and cried, "Madam, it's not good! A thief is in it!"
Minglan felt as if struck by lightning and shouted in dismay: "How is it possible?!"
Cui Xiu cried, "I came from the forest, and several thieves broke in from a small road with fire! Brother Shi was leading people to block it, so please send someone!"
Minglan was shaking and calming down.
Slaughtering the Dragon said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't be anxious, I'll take someone now!" Then he pulled over a big man beside him, "Brother, look here for me!" The big man responded, and Slaughtered the Dragon and rushed into it with a team of guards.
Green Branch bit her lips tightly, and Xiao Tao held Minglan tightly and said softly: "Madam, don't be afraid, few people know where Tuan Geer and Cui's mother are! There are so many houses in the mansion, how much effort can I get to touch each other? "
Minglan calmed down a little, but the mother and son were in love. She was worried and insisted on seeing the situation, so Luzhi had to call the soft sedan chair; because it was dark and the road was dark, the women in the sedan chair dared not walk fast, Minglan was so anxious that she was about to cry, and finally arrived.
The inner courtyard was in a mess, and the maids and mothers cried and shouted for help or looked for a place to hide. Minglan did not dare to sit in the sedan chair and walked in with the green branches. Xiao Tao's sharp eyes pulled a figure running past by her and shouted, "Brother Shitou!"
The person who came was the dazed little brother Shi. He was covered in blood. Seeing that it was Minglan and others, he said happily, "Madam, I'm going to find you! The seven or eight thieves were headless and flies, and they broke around everywhere. Two of them had just touched the gate of the eldest lady's courtyard and had been slaughtered by the guards outside. Now Mr. Tu is catching thieves around the world!"
Minglan breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone is fine..."
"Madam..." Shi Xiaodi said anxiously, "When Tu and I went to the eldest lady's yard, we saw that there were only Aunt Qiu, Aunt Mei and My Mother, and several mothers in the room."
"Ah! What's going on?" Minglan was stunned.
"Mr. Tu asked, too." The little brother Shi said in a difficult situation, " A mother said privately that the eldest lady found that Cui's mother took Tuan Ge to hide elsewhere, and felt that it was safer there, so she asked about whereabouts from Miss Bisi's mouth, and took the two sisters to hide..."
Minglan bit her lower lip-it was a big deal, but she actually missed it here! What a Bee! What a Shaw Brothers!
"Mr. Tu asked me to ask my wife, where is Tuan Ge? Don't call the thief and the blind cat hit the dead mouse, oh..." Brother Shi thought that this metaphor was inappropriate, so he quickly shut up.
Minglan said hurriedly: "Just in a wing room in Koxiangyuan! Go quickly, go find Tu Ye!" As he said that, he stamped his feet repeatedly. The so-called hidden hiding place must be that the fewer people know, the better. What's going on in front of him? !
watched Xiaolan leave, and Minglan hurriedly walked in that direction. Xiaotao kept in mind the instructions of Cui's mother and held her arm firmly. A woman behind her advised him not to walk half a step faster.
The group moved for almost half a quarter of an hour before seeing the destination. Minglan felt that it seemed like it had been two hours. On the way, she grabbed a headless fly-like little girl on the way and asked, "Is that good over there?"
The little girl just ran from the direction of Kouxiangyuan when she suddenly saw her mistress and stuttered, "All right... no, Mother Lu said that Miss Rong had gone to the eldest lady's place and told us not to be on guard..."
Minglan was slightly relieved and was about to ask her to hide from the Shaw Brothers courtyard, the little girl suddenly said, " But, but... I saw Aunt Ren leading two or three black figures to Koxiangyuan... Hey, it's so weird, isn't there no one there? "
"Aunt Ren?!" Luzhi shouted loudly, holding on to the little girl's wrist, "That next to the eldest lady..." Aunt Ren was originally a girl with Shaw Brothers's companion room, and was later given to Gu Tingyu as a husband by Shaw Brothers. Gu Tingyu was carried as an aunt before his death.
The little girl was in pain and nodded quickly.
Minglan was frightened and could not speak, so she just said, "Go over!" Everyone dared not delay any longer, so they walked away quickly.
As soon as I stepped into Kouxiang Garden, I smelled a strong smell of blood. When I looked down with the lantern, I saw that the ground was covered with blood. The corpses of two mothers were lying across the door. It was the healthy woman who protected Cui's mother.
Minglan was dizzy and almost fainted. Fortunately, at this time Tulong and others came over and bowed, "Madam, two have been born, and they have caught a thief."
The guard behind him threw the two black-clothed corpses to the ground, and then pushed out a woman in confusion. It was Ren who often followed Shaw. Minglan was extremely angry and immediately slapped the woman twice. She was about to ask if the Dragon Slaughter had found her son, but suddenly she heard the screams of women and children from the west room, and then the shouts of little brother Shi - "Thief, do you dare...!"
Minglan and others held the torches and rushed to the door immediately. A room lit up in the dark row of wings. Minglan hurriedly supported Xiaotao and saw candles burning on the table. Shao Brother hugged Sister Xian and hugged in the corner. Mother Cui seemed to have been knocked out , softly next to the head of the bed. Little brother Shi came out of the inner room with his bleeding arms, "Madam, inside..."
Minglan pushed Xiaotao away, rushed in regardless, pulled off the half-pine curtain, and saw a black-clad corpse standing on the ground. The dragon slaying and two guards stood at the door with their knives, looking at them with a smile.
Minglan followed their eyes—Jie Rong sat halfway on the edge of the bed, holding a fat dumpling crying in her arms. The girl's face was not dry, her hair was scattered, and a thread of hair was torn off from the corner of her forehead, and blood was spreading open near her temples. She held a golden hairpin tightly in her right hand, and her left hand was covered in blood, and her face was pale, but her eyes were burning with flames. The circle of her mouth was covered in blood, and her cheeks were bitten slightly.
Slaughtered the dragon in his heart. Seeing this situation, he had guessed a rough idea, and saw that the place was fine again. He was thinking about the situation outside, so he left two guards and little brother Shi, and went out to capture the thief guards himself.
Minglan slowly walked over with her belly, hugged Rong Jie'er lightly, and said softly: "Good boy, what's wrong? Tell me."
Rong Jie'er raised her head blankly, opened her mouth, and couldn't say anything.
Sister Xian heard it outside, broke away from Shaw Brothers hard, rushed to the inner room, and spoke loudly and fluently. After a moment, Brother Shi, who had his arms randomly wrapped around, came in and added more.
As they said, the mother looked at her and admired her more and more tenderly, but she was confused.
——The moment just now, it seems like a dream.
The female family hid in the dark room. The thief held up the torch and kicked the room away. Listening to the rough and cruel shouting, everyone was so scared that they trembled. Seeing that the thief was about to arrive in the room, even Cui's mother was helpless.
At this time, I had some courage. I hugged my brother into the inner room, stuffed my brother into the bed, moved a stool by the door, pulled out the golden hairpin and held it in my hand, and stood up.
The thief kicked open the door. The uncle screamed very sharply, like an old hen strangled. Sister Xian just cried softly, and then heard a muffled sound, and Mother Cui stopped.
Listen to the sound of the thief walking towards the inner room, the hairpin head in her palm almost fell into the flesh. She gritted her teeth and couldn't make any sound. As soon as the thief stepped into the room, she jumped over.
The man was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground. She firmly pulled the thief back and stabbed it hard, some stabbing the shoulders and neck, and some stabs on the back. The thief cried out and threw down the long knife and pulled out the dagger from the boot. She didn't think about it. When the blade was grabbed, the sharp blade cut into the flesh palm, and it immediately hurt.
She never knew she was so tough. She didn't scream, but was angry, aroused the strongness in her bones, and bit the thief's head and face. The thief was so painful that she grabbed her hair with her backhand - she had a stubbornness, letting her scalp and palms burst into tears, gritting her teeth, but she didn't let go, holding the golden hairpin in one hand and continued to stab her hard.
Finally the thief pulled her hair and scalp away, and she bit off half of his ear. When the thief finally threw her off her back, seeing that she was about to be stabbed to death with a knife, Brother Shi arrived.
Tuan Ge'er crawled out from under the bed, looked around crookedly, then opened his arms and came toward him with tears. Sister Rong could no longer bear it, and rushed over and hugged her younger brother's round body tightly. The siblings burst into tears.
...
Minglan's eyes were filled with tears, caressing the girl's bloody wound, and was so grateful that she wanted to crawl on the ground and kowtowed a few times. She choked and said, "Good child, Brother Tuan'er has such a sister as you, which is a great blessing!"
Rong Jie'er was hugged by her mother's arms, and she was filled with mixed feelings and was inexplicably sad, so she started crying again. Fat Tuanzi didn't understand why, but she couldn't say the whole sentence, so she could only pull her sister's clothes, crying and repeatedly shouting 'Sister'.
Shaw brother was squeamish at the door, wanting to enter but not daring to enter. Minglan saw a glimpse and deliberately ignored her , wiped her tears and said, "Girl Rong, tell me honestly, are you afraid?" She pointed to the corpse on the ground.
Rong Jie'er looked at the ground, thought about it seriously, and said embarrassedly, "...To be honest, I'm not very afraid..." She was so angry.
Minglan shook her head and clapped her hands and smiled, " is indeed your daughter! She is born with strong and bravery, and she is very brave! "
At this time, the sky was slightly white, and the thieves entering the inner house had been cleared. Minglan took the two children back to Jiaxiju, and Cuiwei found Gu Tingye's golden sore medicine, Minglan personally cleaned the wound for Rong Jie'er and bandaged the wound medicine.
Xiaotao walked around half a can and sneaked away to wrap the wounds of Shi Xiaodi.
After all, he was a child. He didn't sleep all night, frightened, injured, and cried bitterly. Sister Rong was so tired that she fell asleep on Minglan's bed, next to her was a little fat man who was sleeping like a pig.
Minglan stood beside the bed, Bingzhujing looked at her, smiling at the corner of her mouth, and the siblings even had the same sleeping appearance as they spread their hands and feet.
Chapter 2 Rulan also likes to sleep in large characters. I don’t know how my brother-in-law has come here in the past few years. Is she awakened by her wife’s thighs in her sleep? Thinking of it, she suddenly hoped that this girl could find a good home like Rulan in the future.
The noise outside gradually stopped, Minglan knew that this level had passed.
Not long after, the Tu brothers sent someone to report that the thief wanted to have a last try, but suddenly saw Lord Liu sending troops to guard, and the thief immediately scattered into birds and beasts.
Minglan was tired and shrugged her eyebrows, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's go and invite a few doctors to come first. The Manchu mansion needs to treat the disease and the wounded. Go back and count the damage to the objects, reward them according to the merits, take it slowly." Cui's mother woke up, and she didn't know if the lump on her head was important, and she also had to treat Sister Rong'er's palms.
Hao Dacheng couldn't help but say, "Madam, don't you ask what's going on outside?"
Minglan put down his hand and smiled and said, " Although Lord Liu cares about our mansion, he is far worse than his loyalty to the emperor. If there is no peace in the palace, can Lord Liu free up people to save us? "
Hao Dacheng smiled bitterly and admired: "My wife has a very good knowledge."
"Forget it, no matter how chaos in the world is, now I just keep my children and have a good rest first!" Minglan beats her neck lightly, and she feels sore. "Manager Hao, don't hold on. Just clean up, and go and take a break."
Hao Dacheng was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned around, "Madam, last night..." He hesitated, " There is someone among the thieves, and many people look at it... very much like the third master..."
Minglan's shoulder-beating hand stopped halfway, looking at it in surprise.
——Gu Tingwei? !
——Excerpt from "Knowing or Not Knowing or Not Knowing or Not Knowing or Not Should Be Green and Fat Red and Thin"
Later, it was Gu Tingwei who insisted on taking the lives of their mother and son so openly was indeed Gu Tingwei, her husband's good third brother, Minglan was quite heartbroken,
Minglan gently spread her palm in her sleeve, her palms were wet and cold. She sat still and smiled and said, "What's so resentful about this? It's not the heart of a scoundrel, and asks men to explain the details of military and national affairs first... Sister, you should tell me about the attack on our Marquis's mansion that night."
"Oh, look at my brain!" Mrs. Liu smiled and took a selfie on her forehead, then lowered her voice, ", sister, you are good at it. The one who came to harm your mansion that night was really your third master! "
Minglan opened her pupils, then returned to calm, and looked worried : "Sister is serious? The third master is the blood of the Gu family. Just a few servants said that they saw it, how could they hold such a hat over!"
Mrs. Liu knew in his heart and said, "His father is doing things, girl, don't worry. The day before yesterday, didn't his father send someone to come? After the thief caught up, he slapped the beef and beaten them all. Some escaped from the city, and some were caught..."
"The third brother asked him to catch him on the spot?!" Minglan exclaimed in surprise with his chest.
Mrs. Liu was embarrassed: "That's not."
Minglan was slightly disappointed , but comforted: "Then Lord Liu must have won something beside him."
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "His father tried several sessions and then he asked them all.The thief said that they were bandits outside the city and had been dealt with two months ago. The one who went to the contact was an old man, but there was a young man who brought them here that night. He heard their boss call him "San Master". I have discussed the appearance in detail. Isn’t that young man your third child? His father immediately led someone to surround your grandmother's house. Your third son was indeed not at home, so he caught a manager named Lu from the cellar and pulled him out and recognized him. Haha, it was the old man who was connected! ”
Minglan pondered for a moment and said, “Then our third master is just robbing the family, not treason? ”
” that may not be necessary. "Mrs. Liu smiled meaningfully," said his father, "How come he is so accurate when he is robbed in a house? It just so happened that something happened to happen to the other end of the palace. The third brother came to force his sister-in-law and nephew to kill his sister-in-law and nephew." ”
Minglan looked at Mrs. Liu quietly for a while, her heart was bright and she whispered: "Thank you, sister, I am all for nothing. The Marquis and Lord Liu are as close as brothers, but they did not entrust the wrong person. ”
Mrs. Liu thought that this was not sold in vain, and she smiled and drank the tea bowl.
In fact, according to Liu Zhengjie's estimate, Gu Tingwei had a broad friendship, and he should have only secretly known the surface of rebellion, but he had never joined the gang. He wanted to wait until he found out the exact day before he could start to break out. Who knew that that day, Empress Dowager Shengde's sudden rebellion was a sudden rebellion. Gu Tingwei had no time to make a thorough arrangement, so he had to take the bandits into the city and lead the way to attack the Hou Mansion at night.
Strictly speaking, Gu Tingwei could only be considered as murdering and setting fire to harm his sister-in-law. Nephew, it is not considered a rebellion, and the crime is not as good as parents and descendants - but why is it so clear? Liu Zhengjie is the spy leader, not the Qingtian Yamen.
Let’s talk about it again. With Liu Zhengjie’s duties, he had neither noticed the abnormality of Concubine Rong’s family nor discovered the rebellion of Teng’anguo. Although he had made contributions to suppressing the rebellion afterwards, he was a little inattentive. Gu Tingye of Tathagata made great contributions.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu became more attentive to Minglan and answered questions.
"The third brother... has he escaped from the city now...? "Minglan asked a question hesitantly.
Mrs. Liu nodded, "There are many traitors who escaped together. His father said that they couldn't escape far. What's more, his house is now caught by the sight. Alas, it's just a pity for the wife and children in the family..." As a woman, her life and wealth cannot be achieved by herself. .
Minglan sneered in her heart. That old witch is not pitiful. I'm afraid she is the culprit in this matter. Gu Tingwei is just an errand, but Zhu... she hopes for the future...
The two sat opposite each other, sighing for different reasons.

But in his heartache, I'm afraid there's more to be resentment.
Minglan rarely hates a person so much in her time-traveling life, and doesn't even want to mention it (this crazy person, it's better not to mention it),
4
After the grandma Xuan went there, she told Minglan vividly, and told her that the mother was idle. At the end, she said something hesitantly. After the fierce battle on the hillside, when she was in the examination of the first merit, she pulled out Gu Tingwei's body from the pile of dead people. It is said that the first round of arrows were killed when the first round was shot. The wife fainted on the spot. After waking up, she couldn't move.
Minglan didn't want to speak much and said lightly: "The young general Bo Xi has a lot of knowledge, and the arrow formation he led was naturally unparalleled. "For such a person who insists on killing her and her son, he will die.
——Excerpt from "Knowing or Not Knowing or Not Knowing or Not Should Be Green and Fat Red and Thin"
It's interesting to say that Gu Tingye was only truly determined to marry Minglan after the battle of the water thief.
If he didn't marry Minglan, Minglan wouldn't have all the dangers that followed.
Minglan met Gu Tingye, and I really don't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. . . .
Later, this liar met a water thief.
I took her out of the water. She was so cold that she was trembling all over, gasping for breath, turning her little head and looking around in panic, Then, among the boat, she recognized me at a glance, and smiled like a flower, and I suddenly felt a soft heart.
The lake is light and the night is dark and the wind is cold. Only her eyes are as bright as stars. I think I will never see such beautiful eyes again in my life.
… Then, she asked me to save her maids, and I sighed and closed my eyes.
I knew that this little liar would not be nice to others for nothing. I called me so warm that I would have something to ask for. I glared at her fiercely, but I couldn't help but bent the corners of my lips. I felt sick and was so happy to bend it.
Finally saved one of her maids and maids. Before I could report the meritorious service, I heard her talking bad things about me from across the door. I called Peng Family Shake, and she actually said, "Is it understandable"? ! Later, she also suggested that I marry Manniang? ! I firmly said that Manniang was no longer desirable, and she even secretly threw two sarcastic eyes to me? !
This is not over yet, and then she proudly concluded that what is "the most ruler in her bones"? ! I was very regular, and I have never even touched a single hair of her until now! Moreover, after the incident with Manniang, I will never get close to women at will in the future.
I really want to strangle her to death!
But her neck looks so beautiful, like the Jiangnan candy lotus root that I ate when I was a child, it is moist and sweet. I suddenly felt my lips dry... Don't pinch it.
I was so confused that I actually asked this liar to guess that Yanhong was not simple. Well, these days, most scammers are still very smart. Although she guessed it was not far away.
is very good, Gu Tingye, you are getting back to life; I said a few harsh words and left again.
Then, she went south to Jinling and I went north to Beijing.
