Chapter 21
Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan rushed into the inner room. The second wife and the maids had already pulled the eldest wife who was out of control. The third wife was busy helping Wang Yuehan who was knocked to the ground, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her mouth.
Chen Jiyao, who was full of anger and County Magistrate Wang, who was of noble status, suddenly arrived, scaring the people so much that they hurriedly retreated. The ground was covered with broken porcelain pieces and water stains, and the pear wood coffee table fell in the middle.
Wang Yuehan leaned on the shoulder of the third wife sobbed silently, her hair was messy, her left face was swollen, and she could see the handprints on her face and blood on the corner of her mouth. The eldest wife was pressed tightly on the bed by the second wife and the fat wife of the housekeeper Wang, and she was still struggling and scolding.
When the eldest lady saw Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan, she was stunned for a moment, then stopped struggling, covered her heart and cried heartbrokenly: "Second brother! You died so miserable!"
Butler Wang's fat wife had already stood up, but when she heard this cry, she felt sad again. She bent over and hugged the eldest lady and cried, which made Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan helpless.
The eldest lady suddenly stopped crying and suddenly stood up and pointed at Wang Yuehan and insulted: "Your devastation star! If you hadn't appeared in public and attracted bees and butterflies, how could my second brother have suffered such a disaster? You shameless bitch seduced two Nanchang officers and caused them to die in the wilderness. You are not satisfied. You go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to seduce that evil seed. Are you willing to let our family die? You are so miserable that you can't die well!"
The second wife hurriedly went up to stop the eldest wife who was rushing towards Wang Yuehan. Chen Jiyao was so angry that he trembled all over: "You, you, you, shut your stinky mouth for me!"
"Sister, calm down. Yuehan is not only your daughter-in-law, but also your cousin. How could you hurt her like this?" Wang Daohan also hurriedly stepped forward and blamed the eldest wife.
"I don't have such a niece, such a daughter-in-law, Sangmenxing! Let her get out, get out!" The eldest lady tried her best to scream.
Everyone comforted and mediated in unison. The heartbroken Wang Yuehan slowly raised his head and gently pushed away the third wife who could not comfort him. Under everyone's worrying gaze, he took two steps forward, looked at the vicious big wife with a tragic smile: "If you don't drive me away today, I will leave too. I know you have been blaming me for being bad to your son, not getting pregnant with your Chen family, and not smiling at you, right? Some things I didn't want to say were some things, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. It seems that I can't say it today."
Wang Yuehan's smile was extremely desolate, and tears in her eyes kept slipping like a broken line. Everyone stared at Wang Yuehan with resentment on her face, and no one dared to go up and persuade her.
Wang Yuehan turned to Wang Daohan and Chen Jiyao resolutely: "My marriage with Chen Zhongkang was arranged by you two elders. Although I was unwilling to refuse several times, I finally gritted my teeth and agreed when I saw my weak and sick father begging. I thought that Chen Zhongkang, the young talent in your mouth, was a veritable hero, a new young man who had been abroad and received civilized education. But after getting married, I realized that he was a hypocritical hypocrite!"
"Yuehan, what are you talking nonsense? Stop it!" Wang Daohan hurriedly stopped and ordered the two maids to take Wang Yuehan away. The maid was already scared and trembled, and hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
Wang Yuehan smiled again: "Fifth Uncle, don't be anxious. Listen to your niece finishing his words. Next time you have the chance to meet the so-called young, knowledgeable, and suave Chen Zhongkang in your mind. Just ask him why he got sick during his study in Japan? Why did he spend thousands of oceans in Japan and couldn't cure it. He quietly returned to Shanghai for treatment for half a year? Ask him, why am I still a beautiful girl? Ask him, who was kneeling in front of me on the wedding night, crying and begging me for forgiveness, and swearing to be a cow and horse for me for the rest of his life, just asking me to keep a secret for him?
"Fifth uncle, Chen Bo'an, the eldest brother of the Chen family, is a man worthy of everyone's admiration and respect. Although he pursues the Three Principles of the People and dies on the battlefield, he is always respected by the people. He is the hero who stands tall! On the contrary, his younger brother Chen Zhongkang is not only a hypocrite, but also an ignorant fool. The Chen family, who has a scholarly family for three generations, seems to be ruined in his hands. What qualifications does the Chen family have to scold me? Haha! It's ridiculous, sad!"
After Wang Yuehan vented, she could no longer control her emotions. She covered her face and burst into tears and rushed out of the door.
Wang Daohan turned to Chen Jiyao in extreme shock and found that Chen Jiyao had fallen to the ground, his face was as white as paper and looked demented. He was so scared that he bent over and hugged him tightly to comfort him.
Everyone in the room was frightened by the shocking news. The third wife, who woke up first, saw her husband Chen Jiyao's heartbroken look, was so heartbroken that she burst into tears. She squatted down and hugged him tightly.
"No! It's impossible!" The eldest lady screamed, her eyes turned pale and fell backwards. The house suddenly cried and cried.
Chen Jiyao was carried to the bed by everyone. When he woke up, he felt completely disappointed. He grabbed Wang Daohan's hand and cried bitterly: "I am sorry for my ancestors, brother, I will be retribution! Retribution!"
"Brother, take care of yourself!" Wang Daohan held Chen Jiyao's cold hands and lamented in vain. The third wife took a hot towel and carefully wiped away the snot and tears from her husband's face.
The thin second butler suddenly rushed in and reported panting: "Master, the young grandma went out with the little pistol given to her by the young master. No one dared to stop him!"
"Ah? What kind of sanity? Now that the chaos outside is so messy, she is going to die? Why don't you catch it back soon!" Wang Daohan jumped up in anger.
The third wife hurriedly advised: "Master Wang, Yuehan has a stubborn temper and is angry at this moment. No one can persuade her. Let the little sister chase her back. Please ask the officers and soldiers to take care of her and never cause any more trouble."
The third wife ran out hurriedly, and Wang Daohan called the secretary standing at the door for instructions. After that, she returned to Chen Jiyao's room and sat down weakly. Looking at Chen Jiyao who was crying on the bed, she sighed helplessly: "Brother, if this matter is spread, you and my family will really be laughing stocks. Many troubles come together, and they are in a panic!"
Chen Jiyao grabbed Wang Daohan's hand and cried: "Brother, at this moment, Brother Yu is completely disappointed. You will decide everything for Brother Yu!"
Wang Daohan sighed repeatedly and thought hard for a long time and said slowly: "Let's do this, as soon as the sky is dawn, I will send Yuehan's girl back to her hometown in Yingtan, so that her family can watch her, and wait until she calms down, then send her to Nanchang and hand it over to Kang'er. As long as the matter is told, I don't think Yuehan will go to extremes. Why do you say that she married into the Chen family? She is a member of the Chen family? For the reputation of the Wang and Chen clans, and for her own reputation, you will endure it. But it's a trouble for Kang'er! After I handed over my urgent report tomorrow, Shangfeng will definitely summon me to Nanchang to report on my job. Then I'll think of a way when I see Kang'er."
"I'm a sin! What revolution did my eldest son pursue? He died young and died in a foreign land. He didn't even know where the bones were buried. The only second son he was counted on was so absurd and so unfilial. God will give up the descendant of my Chen family!" Chen Jiyao cried and cried.
Wang Daohan quickly comforted: "Brother, don't think so. Today is just a one-sided statement from Yuehan. You can't believe it all. Maybe Kang'er's illness is not as serious as Yuehan said. Everything needs to be seen by Kang'er before we know that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up. If not, let Kang'er go abroad for treatment. It will always be cured. Brother, you have to hold on!"
"Brother, this is retribution, it is all retribution!"
"Brother, don't cry and get rid of your body. Have a good rest. I'll go out and make arrangements. Another time will be dawn. I guess that evil species has fled to Dexing in the north or Yushan in the east. It's hundreds of miles, thousands of mountains and valleys. No matter how many people can't catch him, he can only withdraw his troops and return to the camp to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible."
"My brother, go busy, it's all up to you."
Wang Daohan comforted Chen Jiyao, who was extremely sad, lay down, came to the front hall and immediately summoned his civil and military leaders, issued a series of instructions, and then called for pens, inks and paper to start writing reports. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to deal with his niece Wang Yuehan being dragged back.
Half an hour later, all the officers and soldiers except the intersection post returned to the town. The three messengers rode on horseback to the north ferry crossing of the town, Hufeng Town to the east and the crossing crossing in the south, notifying the teams waiting at the key intersection to withdraw their troops and return to the county town.
It was dawn, and the guards who had been tossing and tidying up all night. They squatted in groups of three or five in the town government yard for breakfast. The housekeepers and guards of several wealthy households rushed back and forth to serve them with all their hearts. The town had gradually returned to peace, but the doors of each household were closed, and there was no one on the four streets, two horizontal and two vertical. Only fallen leaves and dust were circling and flying in the wind.
#######
Three miles east of the town, under the big pine trees on the side of the Wild Boar Ridge, Wu Ming was lying lazily on the grass basking in the sun. While rubbing his gun, he looked at the officers and soldiers leaving the town and a string of carriages across the river. He pondered for a moment and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth: The bet was right!
After the shooting, Wu Ming crossed the river from the ferry crossing of Zhenbei, which was a illusion made after careful consideration. The purpose was to make a wrong judgment for the officers and soldiers, believing that he had already escaped towards the mountainous areas in the north, just as he thought that he would not have the courage to go back again after escaping from Taijin Mountain. Moreover, Wu Wei had successfully shot the enemy, Butler Wang, and also shot the county security commander. He didn't know whether he died or not, but at least he took revenge.
While taking revenge, Wu Ming knew that he had caused a huge disaster. Within three days, this matter would be known to everyone. I am afraid that it will soon be wanted in the whole province. In everyone's opinion, Wu Ming was too late to escape, so why would he dare to return to do evil again?
Wu Ming, who was stimulated by blood, bet on this result. He could not fly away with the resentment of being framed repeatedly. Since others wanted his life, he had reason and the need to resist. Moreover, there was also the factor of revenge. Although taking such a risk might lead to a loss of life, he was in a chaotic world where the strong prey on the weak and experienced many hardships of two lives. Wu Ming's courage and mind had undergone qualitative changes. He was no longer the sad, angry and desperate young man in prison.
In addition, Wu Ming has an important reason to continue taking risks: lack of money!
With Wu Ming's skills and guns on his body, it is not difficult to grab a few dollars on the way to escape. In this chaotic world where the great powers look around the warlords, killing people, setting fires and robbing families are endless all over the country. In contrast, bullying the weak with the strong and robbing the weak is nothing.
But Wu Ming would not do that. He has his own principles and a conscience. Although he suffered from torture and resentment, he would never impose his hatred on innocent people. On the contrary, he understands the value of life more than anyone else and has a stronger desire and pursuit for survival and equality.
