She also asked Wei Fugui why someone gave him money, but Wei Fugui didn't say anything.
She also thought that there might be someone in the family working as an errand in the palace. In this era, eunuchs were rootless people and could not even enter their ancestral graves after death and were looked down upon.
But just a year ago, Wei Fugui suddenly went to the city to buy big fish, meat and good wine, and asked her to go back to her parents' house and invite her family over for dinner.
At the dinner, Wei Fugui only said, "We have to leave here" and said no more. Liu thought Wei Fugui was talking drunkenly and didn't care.
Today Wei Fugui and his two teenage sons went to the fields to harvest wheat. Although the land was not good, it was still enough food. She also knew that the people in the village were xenophobic. The same thing happened to her parents when they arrived here. Fortunately, his family has a large population, so he won't be bullied.
In the years after her marriage, she had seen the cynicism of the villagers towards Fugui. Especially in recent years, the village chief and the villagers had often made things difficult for Fugui because of her.
She was a noble lady, and she was handsome. At first, no one married her because they were afraid of being implicated. After a few years, everything was calm. There are people who have evil thoughts.
Especially Zhao Qi, the village chief’s youngest son. After studying for several years, I also took the provincial examination and passed the Tongsheng examination. Not to mention being arrogant, he is also a dandy. Liu has been pestering him in recent years.
Today, Zhao Qi knew that Wei Fugui had gone to the fields and there was no one at home, so he was determined to harass Mrs. Liu again.
"My wife, the Liu family, is already over forty years old. She has no talent and is plain in appearance. She is just a farmer. If you follow me, I will become an official after I took the imperial examination in high school. Then you will be the wife of an official. Why are you still like this?" "You are stubborn," Zhao Qi advised while sitting on a chair.
"Zhao Qi, my husband's surname is Wei, so call me Wei. Since you have married into your husband's family, you must abide by the rules of womanhood. You have repeatedly molested women from good families. Aren't you afraid that I will report to the official position?" Mrs. Liu's face was cold. road
"Huh, report to the official? My father is the village chief and is very familiar with the squire. As long as I tell my father, your family's tax will be doubled this year." Zhao Qi said proudly,
In this era, the squire was responsible for collecting taxes in the village and was followed by officials. Rent for servitude of the population. If you are asked to pay more, you will pay more. Although they usually dare not impose excessive taxes. But if you really want to punish an ordinary person, it is an easy task.
"Humph, Zhao Qi. There is still kingly law in this world. There is someone in my husband's palace. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid?? It's just a normal payment of taxes. Isn't it the king's law? Besides, he is just a eunuch. How can he be bigger than the county magistrate? I think you might as well just obey me today." Zhao Qi didn't take it seriously and rushed towards Liu. .
A touch. The door was kicked open. Wei Fugui was seen standing at the door. "Zhao Qi, you are going too far."
"It doesn't matter if I just bully you. Don't think it's important if you have someone in the palace. When the time comes, I'll give you a crime and arrest you for labor. There's nothing the people in your palace can do about it. He's just a father-in-law."
Zhao Qi was not afraid at all when Wei Fugui came back.
He continued: "Wei Fugui, I made it clear today. I have taken a fancy to Mrs. Liu. It is your blessing. You obediently signed the marriage and separation document.
I asked my father to buy you a hundred acres of good land. If not, your two sons will be sent to work this year, and your grain tax will be doubled. I'll see if your two sons can survive this winter. "
"You dare, thief, I will fight with you." Wei Fugui went up and started to struggle with Zhao Qi. In the chaos, Mrs. Liu took advantage of him and hit Zhao Qi on the head with a wooden stick, causing Zhao Qi to suffer a bloody head injury.
"Just wait for me." After saying that, Zhao Qi ran away.
Mrs. Liu watched Zhao Qi run out of the yard. He stepped forward to check on Wei Fugui's injuries. After all, Zhao Qi is young and strong. Wei Fugui suffered a loss. Zhao Qi kicked him in the heart, causing Wei Fugui to cough and look in pain.
"Is your husband okay? Do you want to see the doctor?" Ms. Liu asked with concern.
"It's okay, go and call Dawu and Xiaowu back. I have something to explain." Wei Fugui endured the pain and asked Mrs. Liu to call back her two sons. One is named Wei Dawu. One is named Wei Xiaowu.
A quarter of an hour later. Mrs. Liu came back with her two sons. Seeing Wei Fugui covering his heart, he quickly stepped forward and said: "Ah, what's going on? Mother said you and Zhao Qi were fighting. Was it that bastard who did it? I'll go find him to avenge him." The eldest son, Wei Dawu, was sixteen years old. Fang Gang's age. Seeing his father being injured, his blood immediately surged.
"Dawu, stop, dad is fine, dad has something to tell you. Your mother just beat Zhao Qi to the head and bleeds. I guess he will report to the police soon to arrest us. You two leave now. Take your home with you. I want the money to go hide in Chang'an City." Wei Fugui told his two sons.
"No, we won't leave. I don't believe that Zhao Qi can still ignore the king's laws. This is at the feet of the emperor." Dawu had studied and read with Liu since he was a child, so he knew some principles.
"Don't worry, your mother and I will be fine. Don't forget. There is someone in my palace. I didn't mention it before because my status was too high, and I was afraid of causing trouble to the nobles. Now I have no choice but to bring the nobles out to solve the problem."
"Aye. Who is this noble person?" Wei Dawu asked. Mrs. Liu was also wondering, for more than ten years. Wei Fugui has been refusing to say anything.
"It's from the palace..."
There was a clang as the door was kicked open. Two or three government officials came in, followed by Zhao Qi, his father, the village chief, Zhao Chengde, and many villagers.
"Captain Sun. It was Wei Fugui who injured me and robbed me of my money." Zhao Qi, the villain, complained first.
"Wei Fugui, you robbed property and injured Zhao Qi. Come with us back to the county office for trial." Sun Captou said expressionlessly
"Zhao Qi teased Sun Captou first. My husband only wanted to save me, and I injured Zhao Qi's head." Mrs. Liu quickly explained to Sun Captou
"I will know the details when I return to the Yamen. Come and take him away!" Capt. Sun took Zhao Qi's money and asked him to arrest Wei Fugui and take him to the county Yamen for trial. And Zhao Qi was indeed injured. When the time comes for people to come and verify the evidence, Wei Fugui will have a hard time telling the truth.
"No, you can't arrest me Aye. It was Zhao Qi who was at fault first."
"Yes, don't catch me Aye,"
The two sons stopped in front of Wei Fugui.
"You bastard, if you dare to block the officials, get out of the way. Blocking the officials is tantamount to treason." Sun Captou didn't care about those and drew his sword.
"Da Wu and Xiao Wu, get out of the way, your mother and I will be fine." Wei Fugui was also anxious.
It would be terrible if Mr. Sun killed his two sons to prevent the government from doing business.
"Hey, why is it so lively? Is this a happy event?"
Just as everyone was arguing, a discordant voice came from outside.
