After reuniting, Lu Songli and his party entered Liaoxi County directly.

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

In fact, they had this feeling before when they entered Youbeiping County. When the locals first saw the strangers in their group, they would be wary at first, but when they discovered their skin color and appearance, they would relax immediately.

Come down.

Xu Zheng and others went to inquire about it dressed as officials, and only then did the old man tell them the reason tremblingly.

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

Because as soon as winter comes, Xianbei goes south to plunder the supplies of the people of Dali, which is a drama that happens almost every year. There is a war here every year, and Xianbei will fight until the snow almost melts before withdrawing its troops.

Therefore, every autumn, the people here are accustomed to staying behind closed doors.

They could see so many people coming out for activities at this time. It was because Xianbei withdrew its troops early last year and it was almost spring plowing, so people had the courage to come out for activities.

In fact, Xianbei withdrew his troops early and had some relationship with the Qin family.

Last year in the northern border, General Qin Yue directly crippled the Qiang and Hu clans in a death battle, which severely shocked the Xianbei clan. Affected by the war situation in the northern border, Xianbei withdrew his troops early, leaving Youzhou, Liaoxi and Liaodong.

The people of the two counties and other places lived a stable year.

The Qin family has been guarding the northern border. After hearing the news, no one except Qin's mother and Lu Songli had any feelings. The children are newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers. Plus they know that there are other cousins ​​living in the northern border.

life with a little curiosity.

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

Lu Songli has been in a peaceful era in later generations and has never personally experienced war or war. In later generations, China's murder rate per 10,000 people is 0.7, and public security is better than that in the United States. Therefore, Lu Songli frowned when she heard these things.

Damn it, living in such an environment is really insecure. Change, must change!

Xu Zheng also inquired about it and found that the prices of houses and fields here were half cheaper than those in Chang'an Chou.

As soon as they arrived at a village in Liucheng, they saw a dozen big men from the village chasing a young man in his twenties with kitchen knives, hoes, mallets and other objects.

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

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

When Qin Sheng saw the injured man, his expression changed slightly, and he was about to step forward, but Lu Songli quickly stopped him.

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

"save him!"

"reason?"

"Dragon City." Qin Sheng whispered two words.

Lu Songli instantly understood that this man was related to the one hundred hectares of land in Dragon City!

She checked the geographical records and found that Liucheng is an important town in the northeast, and Longcheng is located to the north of Liucheng and west of Longshan. It is indeed not far from here.

Lu Songli looked at the man and woman who were being chased by everyone.

The villagers on the opposite side also discovered Lu Songli and his party.

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

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

Qi Zhenniang defended her cousin to the death. 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 are still unwilling to let her go. If something happens to her cousin because of this

, she must be blamed for her death.

The mean old woman's expression suddenly changed, "outsiders, I advise you to mind your own business!"

People from their village advised her, "Mrs. Ma, forget it, just teach her a lesson."

The person who said this was quickly scolded by Mrs. Ma, "Bah, you are standing and talking to avoid pain in the back. Is it easy for our old Ma family to get a wife? If you dare to steal my old Ma family's daughter-in-law, you must give him one."

You can’t teach me a lesson!”

People in the same village murmured that it is not easy for your old Ma family to find a wife, but they have not seen how kind you are to the wives you marry.

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

"I'm telling you, I've had enough over the years."

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

"My daughter wants to get medical treatment, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not supportive at all, so I can't bear it."

"I work exhaustingly every year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and I am reluctant to eat or wear anything. I am willing to do it for my daughter."

"Every time you save a little money, your mother comes and takes it away. Now Lian'er is eight years old, and she still hasn't been cured!"

"Your mother said that she took away the money we earned together. She should be filial to our elders. Okay, I admit it. But, why did she still take away the thirty taels that my cousin and I borrowed?"

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

After ten years, Qi Zhenniang has clearly seen that this man is unreliable. As long as she is still in this family, her daughter will never be cured.

Mrs. Ma: "Bah, that's nice to say. You clearly dislike the poor and love the rich, dislike the loyal son, and then you have an affair with your cousin. You want to divorce her 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 the 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 bluntly, "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 gone crazy because of an adulterer. She really wants to abandon you and this family for the adulterer."

Damn it! Whatever you say to treat your daughter’s illness is just an excuse!"

"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 has heard it, things are very clear.

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

Just now Qin Sheng told Lu Songli that the injured man's name was Meng Yun. He was once a soldier under his command. He was injured and returned to his hometown. The one hundred hectares of land was entrusted to him to take care of.

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 come to negotiate a divorce with her daughter-in-law. Shouldn't the first thing she does is ask for money, and then hold her granddaughter tightly so that she can slowly bleed out in the future?

?

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

It's not like it is now, as if he insists on labeling Meng Yun as an adulterer, and then irritating his eldest son with every sentence, as if he wants to induce him to kill the adulterer.

"Mrs. Sixth Young Master, 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 take you away from me!" Ma Zhongping held a mallet and said harsh words.

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.
