While they were talking, Hou Yue, the magistrate of Hou County, ignored Xu He and ran around the bamboo house toward the backyard.
Qin Lie seemed to have guessed his move a long time ago. Without raising his eyes, he turned to Xu He and smiled: "Mr. Xie Yuan, is your family rich?"
Xu He frowned and said, "What do you say if you have money? What do you say if you don't have money?"
Qin Lie sat down on the bamboo stool and said with a smile: "If you have money, your family will take the money and I will let you go; if you don't have money...how can you have no money? Saying you don't have money means you are not close to my brother or me." I mean, if you are unkind and unjust to me, I will bury you somewhere casually without anyone noticing!"
It was the first time that Xu He saw such a confused person in this world.
If you don’t give money for co-authoring, you don’t give face. If you don’t give face, you will kill yourself. What an interesting logic?
However, since the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Xu He thought that he was still worth some money, so he nodded and said: "It's okay to ask for money, but Mr. Hou's family is also rich, so let him go!"
Hou Yue had already fled to the backyard, and Qin Lie didn't chase him. This only meant that there was an ambush in the backyard.
Sure enough, there were shouts and curses from behind, and a moment later, Hou Yue was tied up and beaten in front of Qin Lie by two big men.
"Third brother, what should I do with this servant of the Hou family? Keep him?" One of the big men looked at the unconscious one and said.
Qin Lie smiled and said to the man: "Tie him up and throw him on the boat. Then find a quieter place and plant him in the reeds!"
"yes!"
The big man mentioned the servants of the Hou family and walked out.
When Xu He saw this, he frowned and said: "It is not the behavior of a hero to take someone's life lightly!"
Qin Lie weaved a bamboo plaque in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie Yuan, you should take care of yourself first!"
"Bring a pen and paper, and I'll write a letter. You ask someone to deliver the letter to Zhou Ju, the head of the third class of Huzhou, and he will send someone to deliver the money. You let the three of us go!" Xu He said.
Qin Lie sighed, put down his work, and said to Doctor Qin in the bamboo house: "Second uncle, I'm leaving first!"
After speaking, he said to Xu He: "After all, you are Duke Jie Yuang, and you still know people from the government office. Do you want to write a letter directly to the governor of Huzhou so that we can send troops to rescue you then?"
Xu He: "..."
Hou Yue had been knocked unconscious at this time, and another big man carried a rope out of the door.
Qin Lie said: "Mr. Xie Yuan, please come!"
Xu He looked at him and knew that with his physical strength and familiarity with the local area, he couldn't escape at all, so he simply walked out alone.
After wandering around the wasteland for an unknown amount of time in the tall grass, the group finally stopped at a remote river bend.
There were boats parked on the river, and the Hou family's carriage had been unloaded from the horses and was being set on fire.
The horse didn't know where it was being led.
When Xu He and the others arrived, they saw a man digging a hole in the water in the reed marsh not far away.
Qin Lie was not in a hurry to get on the boat and squatted by the river watching his accomplices dig mud.
After another stick of incense, the man who dug the mud came ashore covered in black mud. He grabbed the servant of the Hou family by his hair and dragged him into the water.
The unconscious servant woke up from the pain, and his hair being pulled made him scream in pain like a pig being killed.
Seeing that Qin Lie was serious, Xu He quickly stopped him and said, "I'll pay for his money! Let him go."
Qin Lie grinned and waved to Xu He.
The next second, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling suddenly stopped, and Xu He saw that he had completely disappeared, and then the big man covered in black mud covered the pit with soil.
Xu He felt chills all over, looked at Qin Lie and said, "You don't even..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and did not continue.
Qin Lie didn't care, turned around and asked people to get Xu He and Hou Yue on the boat.
After getting on the boat, Xu He and Hou Yue were covered with sacks and could not see anything clearly.
I don't know how long it took in the darkness, but someone uncovered the sack on Xu He's head, and he suddenly felt a glare.
When they opened their eyes again, they were already on a sandbar in a wide stretch of water.
After getting off the boat, Qin Lie walked at the front door. They were trapped like piglets on a bamboo pole and walked toward the woods on the sandbank.
After entering the woods and turning a corner, a bamboo house larger than Doctor Qin's house appeared in front of him.
After entering the house, Xu He saw the huge house with simple furnishings.
There is a small case directly in front, with a burning lamp on it, and a spiritual tablet between the two lamps.
At this moment, Qin Lie ordered his men: "Bring that old thief Hou Yue up."
Hou Yue was already awake at this time, but his mouth was gagged. He was led to the case and was kicked in the knee. He knelt in front of the soul with a "gudong" sound.
When Qin Lie came to him, the amusement on his face had long since disappeared.
He looked at Hou Yue gloomily and said: "Hou Yue, seven years ago, your son captured my sister, ravaged her and then sank her into the river. Is this true?"
Hou Yue tilted his head to one side and didn't look at him at all.
Qin Lie didn't care and continued: "My parents went to the government to report this matter. You bribed the county magistrate to accuse my parents of being gangsters. My father was caught by you in order to protect me and my mother. My mother entrusted me to Er. Uncle, I went to report it to the Huzhou magistrate, but who would have thought that you would collude with me and get arrested."
"Just like this, your son still refuses to let go of my family and [buys] my mother out of jail. Every day..."
Speaking of this, the muscles on Qin Lie's face twitched, as if he had used great strength to restrain his anger.
"In the end, my mother killed your son and escaped, but you, you old man, caught her and had her killed in prison."
Hou Yue turned around and said, "Are you done? Let's do it when we're done. How can there be so much nonsense? If it falls into your hands, I have no intention of getting out alive!"
Qin Lie sneered: "Okay!"
After saying that, he took out a sharp bone-picking knife from his sleeve and stabbed it into Hou Yue's abdomen like lightning.
Hou Yue cried out in pain, then couldn't kneel any longer and rolled on the ground holding his abdomen.
This moment came so fast, Xu He couldn't believe his eyes, the tragedy happened just like that.
And what shocked him the most was that Qin Lie, including his men, were very calm after seeing the blood, with no expression on their faces.
The floor of the bamboo house was instantly stained red with Hou Yue's blood, and the air was filled with a fishy-sweet smell.
But it's not over yet.
Qin Lie seemed to be dismantling an animal, first removing the ears, then the eyes, and then the nose, and placed them bloody on the altar table.
Hou Yue's screams became smaller and smaller, and finally there was no sound anymore, and his whole body was twitching on the floor in a dying state.
It was the first time that Xu He saw such a bloody scene. He suppressed his nausea and closed his eyes.
Hou Yue, who was still alive in the morning, who was still talking and laughing with him, and who was still worrying about the autumn silkworms in his home, turned into a bloody man and then a cold corpse.
"Father, mother, sister, I have avenged you! Don't worry, this old beast's grandson will soon go to accompany his damn grandfather and father! I, Qin Lie, have changed my mind. I don't want the Hou family's money anymore. I It will take the life of his Hou family, the whole family!"
"Family, let's get excited, okay?
80 on the monthly vote list is not the cards for the brothers!
Love you guys! "
