Chapter Thirty-Nine Catching People

Both Beizhai and East and Middle Schools are located along the Qingliu River, while Nanzhai is located in the pass below the middle peak of Yuhuangling. It is a small basin that is sunken in the middle of Yuhuangling. It is three or four miles away from Beizhai. Currently, the Xu family and other surnames have more than 400 people living here.

It is said that it is suitable for farming, but as the population grows, it is spread to less than three acres of dry land on each person's head, and it is far away from Qingliu Creek. The harvest of fields is limited, and it is also the most miserable village in Lutai villages.

Not only Xu Wujiang's family lived in Nanzhai, but Xu Huai's family, Xu Wuliang, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuli, and most of the Xu family's old soldiers who returned from Jingsheng Army were from Nanzhai.

In his early years, they became bandits, but to put it bluntly, they were forced to do so. As a member of the Xu family's legitimate branch, they did not receive special preferential treatment; at this time, the Wushu who was selected into the Inspection Department of Xu also belonged to the southern villages.

Compared with the thick rammed earth guard wall about till the height of Beizhai, Nanzhai is much simpler. The low walls have been lacking repair for many years. Many places have collapsed, and cracked holes are circulating with weeds. The village is full of children running naked, mostly with vegetables and breezes.

Xu Huai, Xu Wufu and others had just taken Xu Wujiang's house to the house, and Su Di personally invited the last Wu Zu family to come over.

Xu Heng called her to question, "Di Niang, Xu Wujiang's father holds his birthday, you call my father over for a drink, why do you have that attitude?"

"What did Xu Huai'er say?" Su Di patted his clean forehead and shouted, "Wu Jiang's father's birthday, today, I have to invite the head of the family to have a drink - it's rare to invite Miss Liu from Yuehonglou to come and cheer up. I knew that Xu Huai's stupidity would be ruined. I would have known that Xu Wuliang would have asked the head of the family and the eldest son to find the head of the family!"

As he spoke, Su Di pretended to take a sweat towel and pulled towards Xu Huai, who was standing against the door frame of the courtyard, and shouted: "I told you to be the main etiquette of your family. What are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about? Aunt Seventeen, you asked me to invite the head of the family to drink. I said that where can I find such a big place? You said that the arrow tower is so high that you can see where the head of the family is. I went to the arrow tower, but Xu Heng was like a mad dog. He shouted when he saw me, why did he become me?" Xu Huai asked in an inward voice.

"Your mouth is broken, can't you say a few words? Do you want to stuff things?" Su Di held a sweat towel and acted to stuff it into Xu Huai's mouth. He turned around and apologized to Xu Wufu. Xu Heng said, "This silly, I really have no choice but to do anything to him. Head of the family, please don't worry, the eldest son."

Xu Heng was so angry that his face turned pale, but there were already many tribe members in the yard, and they all watched the fun with him with a smile. He knew that he was skeptical about Xu Huai, but he was wrong. He turned his face away and didn't say anything again.

Of course, Su Di's attitude at this time also made him believe that Xu Wujiang was not suspicious. It was simply that Deng Gui arranged for them to guard Qingxi Village and felt dissatisfied with his help.

Xu Zhongyu, the chief of the Nanzhai family, is of the same generation as Xu Bosong and Xu Wujiang's father. He is an elder of the clan, over 60 years old and is also the only Xu family in Nanzhai. Xu Zhongyu usually can't sit with Xu Wujiang's family, but when he saw Xu Wufu coming, he also rushed over with his nephew.

Xu Wujiang's father was panicked when things happened, but he was usually dull and could not say a few words while sitting aside. No one else thought there was anything strange, but Liu Qiong'er was sitting by the side and chatting and laughing.

Xu Huai held the knife in both hands and stood against the door frame, his head almost hitting the lintel. Su Di pretended to drive him away several times, but he remained indifferent and looked at the expressions of the people in the room unscrupulously.

The rumors that Liu Qiong'er was redeemed from Yuehong Building and that Liu Qiong'er appeared in Lutai Nanzhai today were obviously called Xu Wufu. Xu Heng and his son believed that Xu Wujiang was bewitched by Lu Xiong to participate in the protection of Wang Bing.

Liu Qiong'er's voice was soft and she knew how to grasp other people's thoughts. She was just calling Xu Wufu and Xu Heng was sitting in the humble room as if he was bathing in the spring breeze. Two shopkeepers walked into the yard in panic and squeezed into the room from Xu Huai and shouted: "Xu Wujiang has surrendered to the bandits, Deng Langjun sent Tang Tiande to Lutai to catch people!"

"What? Slaughter the bandits, what bandits?" Xu Wufu stood up in shock.

"I don't know what's going on, but Tang Tiande and his men have already rushed to Nanzhai!" The villager reported.

Xu Wufu's face suddenly turned dark and he looked at Su Di gloomy.

How could he think that the birthday celebration in front of him is not strange at this time?

"Wujiang led people to guard Qingxi Village, how could he surrender to the bandits? It must be a slander!" Su Di was also very depressed this day, and made the reaction his wife should have after hearing the bad news, and shouted sternly, "Who is talking nonsense? I tear his dog's mouth apart! Tang Tiande was in the military village and was in Qingxi Village. Will they surrender to the bandits? They went to Qingxi Village to catch people, and why did they go to Lutai Village to do it?"

In addition to Xu Wuliang, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuji, Xu Zhongyu and others, most of the Wu Zu family inside and outside were small, and they were suddenly panicked.

"What's the matter in panic? I haven't figured out anything. When I go to see Tang Tiande." Xu Wufu said in a deep voice.

Xu Wufu didn't know the details of the matter, so he took people to the dilapidated village gate, hoping to wait for Tang Tiande to come and ask clearly before talking about anything else.

Tang Tiande brought people here, of course he wanted to control Xu Wujiang's parents, father-in-law and brother-in-law as soon as possible. After passing Qingliuxi, he bypassed Beizhai and rushed directly to Nanzhai.

Xu Wufu received a report from the village customer and rushed to the front of the village gate. He saw Tang Tiande riding a tall horse and leading more than 20 martial soldiers to approach the village gate.

Of course, Lutaizhai usually raises dozens of farmers, and it is impossible for people to break into Yuhuangling without doing anything. At this time, twenty or thirty people rushed here with their sword bows.

Xu Wufu is a civil servant in the prefecture yard and the head of the Xu family. He looks down on Tang Tiande from the bottom of his heart. Even though he has no intention of supporting the Xu Wujiang family, as the head of the clan leader, he cannot lose his prestige in front of the clan members.

He stood in front of the gate of the village with his waist and asked Tang Tiande what he was coming: "Why are you doing well today? Let Tang Dutou come to Lutai Village?"

"Xu Langjun," Tang Tiande left his horse. Xu Wufu had no supreme rank, but he respectfully called him "Langjun" and said, "Deng Langjun took Xu Wujiang to guard Qingxi Village yesterday, but he didn't expect that he and more than 20 martial soldiers had joined the bandits in Hutou Village. Deng Langjun asked me to capture Xu Wujiang and the Wuzun family back to the military camp to investigate the case!"

"How is it possible? How could Xu Wujiang surrender to the bandit?"

"It must be nonsense, maybe someone slandered it?"

"My man is born timid. Xu Wujiang will not follow him even if he surrenders?"

As soon as Tang Tiande said this, another wave of turmoil occurred in Zhuwu Zu's family.

"I wonder what certificates Deng Langjun has?" Xu Wufu asked with a gloomy face.

"Xu Wujiang was ordered by Deng Langjun to lead Wu soldiers to guard Qingxi Village yesterday. Deng Langjun ordered him to not fight in a row. After he arrived at Qingxi Village, he led his troops to Hutouling. Before he returned home, Qingxi Village sent people to see it. Except for a mess of blood, there were no one or one corpse. What wasn't this all going to surrender to bandits?" Tang Tiande said loudly.

"Oh my God, my husband and others were killed by the bandits, and they were not seen dead. Deng Gui and my husband have always had a grudge. Without seeing the pension, they actually tainted my husband and surrendered to the bandits. What is the truth of heaven?" Deng Gui intended to arrange for Xu Wujiang and others to die. Su Di was angry and hated. At this time, he said these words, of course, gritted his teeth and said to Xu Wufu angrily, "I would like to ask the head of the family to be the master of my husband and report to the prefecture to return my husband's innocence!"

After hearing what Tang Tiande said, Xu Wufu vaguely guessed what was going on, but Su Di and his family were both sad and angry. Can he still tell the truth?

"Since there is no one person or a corpse, Deng Langjun said that Xu Wujiang and the others were a bit hasty?" Xu Wufu carefully said and questioned Tang Tiande slowly.

"Anything is true or not, Deng Langjun will find out that Tang was just ordered to come over and take Xu Wujiang's parents and Zhu Wuzhu's family back to the inspection department to assist in investigating the case." Tang Tiande didn't know the truth, and just thought Xu Wufu was deliberately ruling and said coldly without giving in.

"It's just to assist in asking the case, but it's all." Xu Heng glanced at Su Di sinisterly and said.

"What nonsense do you do, you guys! Help check your uncle, I'll kill you today!" Xu Huai walked forward, kicked Xu Heng a dog to eat shit, cursed, and then pulled out a knife to chop at Xu Heng.

"Dare to commit crimes in rudeness!"

"What's the nonsense?"

Xu Wuqi, Xu Wukun and others reacted quickly, hurriedly protected Xu Heng, held the knife on their waist, and ordered Xu Huai to put away the knife and retreat behind.

"You bastard, dare to draw your sword at me!"

There were many armed shopkeepers here, and Xu Heng was not afraid that Xu Huai could really do a murder and hurt people, but Xu Huai kicked his thighs and hips as if an iron pillar hit him horizontally, making him feel like his thighs and hips were broken at this moment, and he was heartbreaking and unable to get up from the ground for a long time. He was furious in his chest, and shouted wildly at Xu Wuli, Xu Wukun and others.

"A good dog doesn't bite the owner. This dog is crazy and chopped me up!"

"Young Master, what are you as good as this stupid guy?" Xu Wukun helped Xu Heng up and grabbed him, not asking him to draw his sword to conflict with Xu Huai head-on, persuaded him.

Xu Wuqi took the sword in his hand, glanced at Xu Wuliang who was watching the fun in the crowd, and pointed at Xu Huai with his sword and scabbard: "Damn it, go back, don't ask me to take action."

"Deng Gui defames my husband and the bandits. The eldest son is not fair, but he wants to send us women and children to prison and turn his elbows out. What are you talking nonsense?"

Su Di walked over without hesitation, blocked Xu Wuli's face, and questioned him sternly.

"Did Deng Gui kill us women and children, throw our bodies into Huai River, and charge us for being a bandit? Xu Wuli, if you have the ability, you will draw your sword and chop me to death here."

Today's strategy is the part where Xu Huai is responsible for unreasonableness, while Su Di and the others are responsible for reasoning; of course, even if they are reasonable, their momentum cannot be weak.

Xu Wuqi had no choice but to take Su Di and retreated to Xu Wufu and asked him to make an idea.

"My man is dead and he will never see the corpse. What nonsense is the eldest son saying? How can he ask the official to arrest us and ask us to ask questions? What crime did we commit?" A group of young people were also very angry and went forward to follow Su Di and wanted to catch Xu Heng and question him.

Someone pulled Xu Zhongyu, the chief of the Nanzhai family, out: "The eldest son is out with his elbow. Uncle, you are the head of our Nanzhai family, you must stand up and say justice."

Whether it is the chief of the elders or the chiefs of the family, they all choose wealthy families from the Shangfang Xu. The head of the family Xu Wufu was selected by each branch and house to take charge of the family property. If the elbow is turned out, the clan members will not be able to bear it silently.

Tang Tiande looked at everything in front of him and said to Xu Wufu: "Tang came under the order of Deng Langjun. Xu Langjun should not ask Tang to do it."

Xu Wufu's face was gloomy and he waved to Xu Zhongyu to discuss: "You can't ask the official to arrest people at will, but since Deng Langjun insisted on Xu Wujiang's revenge for bandits, he was afraid it was not groundless. Should he ask Tang Tiande to take Wujiang's father and Di Niang to the inspection department first? Can he find out the facts one day earlier, and can he repay Wujiang's and the others' innocence one day earlier, right?"

"Master, what do you mean?" Su Di heard it clearly and asked sternly, "Wu Jiang's father, can this body withstand the tragic disaster? You used to plot against me in every way, but I was unwilling to join your family as a concubine. Are you here to avenge your private revenge today?"

"Di Niang, what are you talking about?" Xu Wufu scolded with a dark face.

Tang Tiande looked at Su Di and sneered: "Di Niang, if you weren't a thief, why did you suddenly escape from the military camp yesterday? Today, you said it, I'll take people away!"

"My father-in-law's birthday today. Why did I go back to the village? Oh my God, since there is no law, I, Su Di, even if I hit you and died today, I will not be slandered by you." Su Di shouted loudly and rushed towards the big tree next to me.

Su Di's father, Su Laochang, was right next to him and grabbed Su Di: "Wu Jiang has no bandits, no one can taint him. What stupid things are you doing?"

At this time, four or five women ran over to grab Su Di, afraid that she would do something stupid.
