Chapter 547 547 People from Cheng Family
Alian heard what Li Yu said, and felt that the food should be given to them as a matter of course.
He happily said to Li Yu: "Mrs. Li, our sisters admire you very much. Although we didn't see how you killed those villains with our own eyes, we also know that you are very powerful. Mrs. Li, if we are like you, too. Then it's good to have the ability, and they won't die in vain."
Li Yu looked at Alian who was feeling down in the blink of an eye, didn't know how to comfort her, patted her shoulder, looked at her and said, "They definitely want you to live well and live happily."
Alian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, bowed to Li Yu and said, "Thank you."
Li Yu held the rice-washing water and sat under the eaves porch to look at Chi Zhuangtou. After more than a quarter of an hour, seeing his face gradually improving, he thought, "Fortunately, I don't need to pour the rice-washing water."
After another half an hour, Alian also prepared the meal and went to ask Yangliu and the others to go.
Li Yu sat on the chair, saw Lao Chi's eyelids moving a few times, knew that he was awake, and ignored him, just looked at him like that, to see if he dared to die again.
Chi Zhuangtou glanced at Li Yu, who was leaning against the chair sitting above, through the slits of his slightly opened eyes, and then closed his eyes again. He had no courage to endure it again. The feeling of being on the verge of death was frightening. The pain in the six internal organs seemed to be cracked, and it was unbearable.
Li Yu looked at him, "Chi Zhuangtou, you have thought about it, do you want to tell Mrs. Ben?"
Chi Zhuangtou said weakly: "If the villain tells the madam, what's the benefit?"
"Benefits!" Li Yu looked at him coldly, "If you want to discuss benefits with Mrs. Ben, it depends on you, what useful things you can come up with, otherwise..."
Chi Zhuang took a deep breath and said in a thin voice, "The things in the little man's brain must be useful."
Li Yu chuckled: "Whether it's useful or not, it's up to Mrs. Ben to judge. Mrs. Ben will give you a hint, like a cellar! You don't need to mention anything about the secret room."
Chi Zhuang's head abruptly widened his eyes and looked at Li Yu, looking at his appearance, he never dreamed that the secret room was also found by Li Yu.
"You don't have to be so surprised. Madam Ben can also guess what you are doing, so don't think about fooling around."
Chi Zhuangtou nodded convincingly, "The villain was originally a servant of the Cheng family in Yuezhou. He followed the steward to Kyoto fifteen years ago and worked with the steward for two years in Kyoto. The steward thought the villain was still useful, so he promoted the junior. The man became the head of Zhuangzi, and after another year, the villain was sent here to take care of everything on the Zhuangzi.
Turning over a few mountain ridges in front of Liangjia Village, it is the caravan from Liangzhou, the only way to enter Beijing. When we received the news, we took people out to ambush and loot the property in advance, and the looted property was sent in. The second prince's residence in Kyoto. "
Li Yu secretly scolded: Grandma, the prince of a country sent people to slaughter the village for money, just to raise a gang of bandits to make things easier, really let such a brutal person come to power, this world has not become his slaughterhouse.
"How long does it take to climb over several mountain ridges, and where do you rest along the way? Are there any villages along the way?"
Chizhuang thought for a moment, "The two mountain ridges in front of you still have villages, and there will be no more if you go there. It will take at least a month to go back and forth."
"When did you stop doing this?"
Chi Zhuang took a few breaths, "until later, there was news that the eldest prince broke his leg, and the second prince also had an accident, and then the third prince established the prince, His Majesty died, the noble concubine took poison and committed suicide, the villain received The order has not been gone, and I have been staying here.
Four years ago, Director Cheng took those weapons to Zhuangzi, and the little man knew that there was a secret room under the study. Director Cheng sent a lot of weapons into the cellar one after another, and picked up a hundred and ten men from Zhuangzi the year before. Instruct the villain to stay here and wait for news. "
The villain once asked Director Cheng if the Cheng family was going to rebel. He smiled and slapped the villain, saying that this world belongs to the second prince. The villain knew from that time that the second prince was not dead, but he also didn't know where they were hiding.
Since then, the villain has been going to the Tongfu Inn in Shanyang County every two weeks to stay for one night. As long as there is news, they will ask people to put a note in the crack of the blue brick at the entrance of the Maokeng. "
Li Yu asked: "You are not a dead man, why are you hiding poison in your collar?"
"Director Cheng said that as long as the villain goes out, he must wear this clothes with poison hidden in the neckline. If he is caught, let the villain take the poison and commit suicide immediately."
Chizhuang looked up at Li Yu, panting heavily, "Mrs. Li, the villain has already told you everything he knows."
Li Yu nodded, dragged the weak Lao Chi into the cellar, tied it up and placed it on the sack.
From Lao Lin, Dashi and his confession, it can be seen that these people have been conspiring for a long time, and they are quite sophisticated in their actions. No one on the bright side knows who the master is.
Li Yu felt that some of them must be lurking in the yamen of the capital. They should get news of what happened in Liangjia Village soon, and they would soon be silenced and hidden.
Li Yu sat under the porch and squinted for a while. Seeing that it was time to cook dinner, he got up and went into the kitchen.
Seeing a few old pumpkins on the table in the corner, I took one down.
Seeing that there are miscellaneous noodles in the rice vat, I scooped some out of the vat, beat the eggs, put the old noodles and kneaded them well, and put them in front of the stove to ferment.
Remove the skin of the old pumpkin, dig out the inner flesh and put it aside, wash the pumpkin and cut it into long strips and put it in the steamer. After steaming, it will be made into pumpkin steamed buns.
As soon as the fire was lit, he heard Alian shouting to open the door.
Li Yu got up and went out to open the door for them. Alian and Yangliu were carrying a basket full of wild vegetables, and Sanqiao was carrying red plums. A group of people entered the yard.
Alian smiled and said to Li Yu, "Mrs. Li, we came back from digging up some wild vegetables, and we plan to make some wild vegetable dumplings for you to try."
Li Yu nodded with a smile, "Okay! I steamed some pumpkin, and I plan to steam some pumpkin buns."
Yang Liu looked at the fire in the stove, the steamer in the pot and the fermented flour on the stove, then looked at Li Yu and said with a smile, "Mrs. Li, I thought you ladies of the official family were all fingers-free. I didn't expect you to do this again."
Li Yu said with a smile: "I'm also from a farm family, and I can do whatever you know."
Alian said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be born in a farm. We thought you were the young lady of an aristocratic family, but we didn't think so. We used to go to Kyoto to play and see that they were all so cute. How dare you fight against evil thieves."
The guys were busy talking and laughing. After the meal, Li Yu warmed the steamed buns and food in the pot and waited for Jixiang to come back to eat.
said to Alian and the others: "You should be more alert when you sleep at night. I'm worried that someone will come to Zhuangzi to take revenge."
Yang Liu said: "Mrs. Li, we will choose a few rooms in the backyard to rest with you."
"Okay, it's up to you to decide." Li Yu said.
