Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Although Huang's father initially fell in love with Dai Tu and betrothed him to him because Tu was a scholar and had a good image, he did not force him and gave him an extremely generous dowry.

After getting married, Huang Zhaodi was almost in charge of all the trivial matters at home, without letting Dai Tu take care of them at all. The latter only had to study with peace of mind.

Moreover, Dai Tu was just a boy at that time, and Huang Zhaodi did not know how to predict whether he would be able to pass the provincial examination and the national examination in the future.

Therefore, it is definitely not because Huang Zhaodi thought that Dai Tu would be able to become a high official in the future, and that was why Huang Zhaodi gave so wholeheartedly.

She really wanted to live a good life with Dai Tu.

Dai Tu has no feelings for her, but she has deep feelings for Dai Tu.

Now that Dai Tu said this, Huang Zhaodi was heartbroken, especially when her son was still beside her.

"Dai Tu, you have no conscience. Now that you have climbed to a high branch, you can even abandon your own wife." Dai Ling also scolded Dai Tu angrily, shouting: "The books you have read in these years are simply in vain. Read it.”

With that said, Dai Ling said to Huang Zhaodi: "Zhaodi, let's go. Let's go and sue the officials. We will sue him for abandoning his wife and son. We will expose his fake identity and ruin his reputation."

Dai Ling also had a sense of righteousness in his heart, but now that he saw his nephew acting like this, he was furious.

Huang Zhaodi did not move.

But Dai Tu had a guilty conscience and immediately stopped him at the entrance of the alley, saying: "You are not allowed to go."

As he said that, Dai Tu also realized how ugly his face was. He wanted to pull it up, and began to belittle Dai Ling and the others, saying:

"You settled in Cangzhou, changed your surname to Guo, and traveled all the way from Cangzhou to get here. Don't you just think that I am in high school and want to follow me to wealth? To put it bluntly, you are also greedy for vanity and are no better than me. Go ahead, don’t put yourself on a high pedestal and look down on others.”

Huang Zhaodi was heartbroken when she heard this. If it weren't for him and she was afraid that he would be exposed, would she go to Cangzhou to settle down? As a result, now he thinks about himself so much.

However, before Dai Tu finished speaking, he continued: "And if I am exposed, you will not get any benefit. In addition, Zhang Zhu is already pregnant. Do you think it will be useful to file a lawsuit? You know Zhang Zhu What is the relationship between her father and King Wei? Do you think you can sue me?"

The last few words were said by Dai Tu. He wanted to scare the three of Dai Ling and tell them that it was useless to sue the officials.

He also said: "I am the disciple of King Wei. If I deny it to you, who do you think the Yamen will believe?"

Huang Zhaodi's body trembled.

Dai Ling's face also darkened. Although King Wei had an excellent reputation among the people, he had seen the darkness of the bureaucracy and could not guarantee that King Wei would make the decision for them.

Moreover, Zhang Zhu is pregnant now, so General Zhang will definitely protect him.

So does the King of Wei blame General Zhang for meeting them?

Seeing that Dai Ling and the others were frightened, Dai Tu softened his tone, looked at Huang Zhaodi and said warmly: "Zhaodi, I know I'm sorry for you, but if you go to higher places, don't blame me. For the sake of our relationship as husband and wife. Yes, I will also compensate you.

When Zhang Zhu gives birth to a son, I will tell him that he wants to take a concubine. Then we can recognize each other in a legitimate way, and Xiaofeng can stand upright and above board. Isn't it good to have the best of both worlds? "

Huang Zhaodi was about to cry out her heartbroken tears.

Dai Tu knew that he had said enough, so he took advantage of his son again and said, "Zhao Di, even if you don't do it for yourself, you still have to think about Xiaofeng. Can you bear to let Xiaofeng live a hard life with you anymore?"

After saying that, Dai Tu took out his purse and said: "There are more than a dozen taels of silver in it, and a few gold leaves, worth hundreds of taels. You take it first, and I will make up for the rest later." ”

When Dai Tu was about to give it to Huang Zhaodi, he was thrown away by the latter, dropped to the ground, and said coldly: "I don't want your dirty money. I will raise Xiaofeng myself and will not follow you, so as not to let him When I grow up, I will be just like you.”

"Uncle Ling, let's go." After saying that, Huang Zhaodi took Dai Feng's hand and walked out of the alley.

Dai Ling followed behind.

Dai Tu thought they were rejecting him, and a trace of viciousness and resentment flashed in his eyes.

Huang Zhaodi hadn't walked a few steps when she suddenly thought of something. She let go of her son's hand and turned around to pick up the purse on the ground. Although it was quite "humiliating" to refuse what she wanted now, they already had a penny on them. There was nothing left. For the sake of her son, she could only lower her head and said:

"From now on, we are inseparable. You walk on your Yangguan Road, and I walk on my single-plank bridge."

Apparently he promised not to report him.

But the corners of Dai Tu's lips curled into a sneer, and he secretly said: "What you say is so high-sounding, but in the final analysis, it's not just for money."

But the matter was resolved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Huang Zhaodi and the other three walked out of the alley. Not long after walking, Huang Zhaodi still couldn't hold it back. She squatted down, collapsed and cried.

"Mom, don't cry, Xiaofeng is obedient. Xiaofeng will definitely not be like dad when he grows up." Seeing his mother like this, Dai Feng also cried.

After a while, seeing Huang Zhaodi's mood gradually calming down, Dai Ling sighed and said, "Zhaodi, are you really not going to expose him?"

"He is Xiaofeng's father after all." Although Dai Tu didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife, Huang Zhaodi still did. As she said that, she looked at Dai Ling with an apologetic look and said, "Uncle Ling, I let you down."

"Zhaodi, what are you saying? It's because our Dai family is sorry for you. I really didn't expect that he was such a person." Dai Ling said.

"Make your uncle laugh."

"Hey, Zhaodi, what are you going to do next?"

"It's getting late now. Stay here for one night and go back tomorrow."

"That's fine."

…

Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Zhu asked where "Xian Guo" had gone, why it took him so long, and whether he was a relative.

Dai Tu nodded.

Zhang Zhu said: "What about them? Since they are Guo Lang's elders, I should also meet them, propose a cup of tea, and invite them to the wedding ceremony."

Dai Tu said that these relatives had bad character. After learning that they came to care for him after high school and wanted to rely on him, he gave them some money and sent them away.

"I'm afraid that if they come in, they will ask for your money and make my father-in-law angry." Dai Tu said.

Zhang Zhu expressed his understanding of this. Who doesn't have a few rogue relatives? He immediately said: "Guo Lang, this kind of person cannot agree in the first place. Once he succeeds once, it will be a bottomless pit. If they come to take care of you next time If you want money, just tell your father and ask him to send people to scare you, and they will not bother you. This kind of person bullies the weak and fears the strong. "

Dai Tu nodded.

But he couldn't help but make a decision in his heart.

Although he had frightened Dai Ling and Huang Zhaodi before, it was only temporary after all. If the other party got angry and reported it to the official, everything he had now would be gone.

Just don’t do one thing or the other without stopping.

Passing the examination allowed him to meet some people in Xiangyang and learn some things.

Even though Xiangyang is now prosperous and bustling, there is still darkness behind the bustling bustle.

There are three religions and nine schools, and people who commit crimes and violate laws will never disappear no matter how peaceful the world is.

And naturally, there are so-called "killers".

Give money to buy life.

…

"Uncle Liu, here are three meat buns. This is what you paid for last time."

In front of the steamed bun stall, Huang Zhaodi took out a piece of broken silver the size of a fingernail and placed it in front of Old Man Liu.

Old man Liu, who was rolling out the dough, looked up and immediately smiled and said, "It's you. You've found your husband. Where are the others?"

"I made a mistake. It's someone with the same name." Huang Zhaodi said.

"Ah?" Old Man Liu was stunned, and then he looked at the expressions of Huang Zhaodi and Dai Ling, especially Huang Zhaodi's red and swollen eyes. It was obvious that she had just cried. It seemed that there was another hidden reason in this matter.

But since the other party didn't say anything, Old Man Liu wouldn't ask in detail. He just sighed and said, "That's really a waste of joy."

After saying that, he took a basket of steamed buns and placed them in front of several people.

Huang Zhaodi was startled: "Uncle Liu, we don't want so much."

"Those buns last time don't cost so much money." Old Man Liu smiled and then said: "It's getting late. Have you found a place to stay?"

Huang Zhaodi's expression darkened, and Dai Ling said, "After asking around, all the restaurants in the city are full."

"My firewood shed is quite big. I can live in it after cleaning it up. If you don't mind, you can stay with me for one night." Old Man Liu said with a smile.

Dai Ling was startled, then said immediately: "Then thank you, Brother Liu."

"You're welcome."

…

The sky gradually darkened.

There is no curfew in Xiangyang.

Under the Chengnan Bridge.

There was a clear small river flowing by. On both sides of the river lived a group of lower-class people and black households who were not registered in the government office. There was a mixed crowd.

Because of the chaos, no good family will come here.

However, despite the chaos, no crime has occurred. Xiangyang has a large population and is in the rising stage of development, so there is no time to take care of it.

There are some small boats parked by the river, and some people eat and live on the boats.

Although the skilled Peng Si'er is only in his twenties, he has been involved in the world of horse racing since he was eleven years old. He has spent some time in cars, boats, shops, feet, and teeth. Gotta get on the feet.

In his early years, he also learned some skills from an advanced warrior.

But without money, he didn't get the true inheritance. Although he didn't join the ranks of warriors, his hands, feet, and physical fitness were relatively good.

If he had the upper hand, even a top-grade warrior would be able to take advantage of his opponent.

At this moment, he was humming a tune and cooking when suddenly a tall figure blocked the light in front of him.

He looked up and saw a man wearing a brocade robe, but his face looked like a mask bought from a vendor on the other side of the bridge. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Who is that?"

"Are you Peng Si'er?"

"Sir, what do you want from me?" Peng Si'er's expression changed slightly, and he touched the short blade at the back of his waist.

"I heard that you can handle dirty things?" the man in brocade robe asked.

Peng Si'er raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was a business deal, and grinned: "Go to the south of the city and ask around. Who knows that I, Peng Si'er, have the quickest hands and feet, don't leave any tail, and the price is the most reasonable."

"Very good. Here are the deposits and portraits of the target. They are all ordinary people. After processing, I will pay the other half." The man in brocade robes took out a bulging small bag and threw it to Peng Si'er, then Then he threatened: "Keep it clean and don't attack in the city. Otherwise, I know what you look like."

"rest assured."

Peng Si'er opened the bag. There were three ingots of silver, twelve ingots per ingot, and three portraits.

"This is about to destroy the family." Peng Si'er looked at the three portraits, then looked at the direction where the man in the brocade robe had left just now, put the money away, turned his eyes, and quickly followed.

After the man in the brocade robe deliberately walked around a few times, he came to a deserted alley. After taking off his mask, he gasped for air and his heartbeat quickened.

The man is Dai Tu.

Although he was ruthless and ungrateful to Huang Zhaodi, it was the first time for him to hire someone to kill someone. When he gave the money just now, he was sweating. After the job was done, he was still a little nervous, regretful and guilty.

But soon, the guilt and regret disappeared.

"No one can stop me." Dai Tu's eyes suddenly became gloomy.

After leaving the alley, he did not go back immediately, but deliberately walked around several times. After confirming that no one was following him, he returned to Zhang's house.

"Zhang's house." Peng Si'er looked at the figure who had just entered Zhang's house and muttered to himself.

In fact, after accepting the deposit from the man in brocade robes, Peng Si'er wanted to run away. After all, people like him are common to cheat and deceive, especially recently the public security in the four states has been getting better and better. He had stopped doing murder two years ago.

But after knowing that this man was from Zhang's house, Peng Si'er felt that this thing could be done. This was a good opportunity to "get in touch".

After leaving, Peng Sier immediately mobilized his own connections and looked for the person in the portrait.

As the saying goes, rats have their own ways, and snakes have their own ways.

He has his own way to find people.

…

On the other side.

Although Chen Mo rejected Qin Shi's invitation to the banquet at noon, in the evening, Xiao and Gan invited him again for the Chamber of Commerce, saying that they had important matters to discuss.

Chen Mo believed it, but when he arrived.

"Your Majesty is really a busy man. You haven't come to Tongque Garden in such a few days since you came back to Xiangyang."

The person who spoke was wearing a vermilion palace dress, with a jade belt tied around her waist, which set off her plump and graceful curves. Her hair was majestic, her eyebrows were fine, her face was white, and her skin was white under her snow-white neck. The half-exposed full moon was tempting to taste.

It was Mrs. Xiao.

"Meet the King of Wei." Mrs. Gan on the side also stood up and saluted.

Compared to Madam Xiao, Madam Gan's clothes are quite simple, gentle and beautiful. Although she is not young, her face is extraordinary and charming, with her hair untied and scattered on her shoulders.

"Is this your idea?" Chen Mo frowned and sat down.

Madam Xiao took the initiative to sit on Chen Mo. Since the day she escaped from Chongzhou and took refuge with Chen Mo, she had lost all her etiquette and shame in front of Chen Mo.

She hooked her hands around Chen Mo's neck and said with a faint breath: "Don't blame my sister, this is all my idea. If the prince doesn't come to find me, I can only find a way to find the prince.

If the prince blames me, punish me well."
