Family Has a Concubine

The sky was so dark that even the moonlight was gone.

The outskirts of Xucheng were completely silent.

Not far away were two owls squatting on a tree branch, turning their necks and cooing.

Two pairs of faint green eyes popped out of the yellowed withered grass under the tree, but two little foxes popped out of their heads.

"Rumble—" The sound of horseshoes came from a distance.

Looking from a distance, I saw a group of more than ten riders galloping under the light of several fires, and the two foxes were so frightened that they rushed into the grass immediately.

"Drive—" Master Lu led more than ten riders and galloped past, followed by two hundred servants.

Passing through this piece of withered forest, in the darkness, I saw a big mountain not far away, even though it was dark and dark, I could vaguely see the peak like a bull's head.

"It's almost here, everyone, speed up!" Master Lu swung his horsewhip while turning his head and shouting coldly.

More than ten flying riders raised their horseshoes, and snowflakes on the ground splashed one after another.

As we got closer and closer to Dongniu Mountain, we could see fires under the mountain from a distance.

"Hoo—" Master Lu pulled the rein fiercely, and the horse was severely strangled to a stop.

The yamen who were walking behind also stopped, bending over and gasping for breath.

"Hey, you're finally here." An excited voice sounded.

Ye Tangcai and Qi Min were clutching their chests and gasping for breath. They raised their heads and followed the prestige.

A short and fat man with a thick official robe and an official hat on his head came forward.

Ye Tangcai narrowed his eyes slightly, this is Ma Zhifu of Xuzhou.

It was he who planned to harm the third master.

But, what strategy did he use?

Master Lu and the others hurriedly got off their horses and led all the yamen to salute the magistrate: "I have seen the magistrate."

"Get up." Ma Zhifu hurriedly said anxiously.

"Yes!" Master Lu and the yamen servants straightened up quickly.

"Have everyone got the news? Let me go up the mountain to suppress the bandits!" Ma Zhifu sneered, and the last two words were particularly heavy.

It is said that if you go up the mountain and meet someone exactly like Chu Yunpan, you will be killed.

Ma Zhifu wanted to go up the mountain immediately to confirm Chu Yunpan's death. If you don't die, kill it!

From daytime to now late at night, Chu Yunpan and others have not been able to go down the mountain, which can already prove that Chu Yunpan is more dangerous than good.

But Ma Zhifu was worried.

Ma Zhifu glanced back again, and a yamen servant came out from behind, holding a big cloth bag in his hand.

Ma Zhifu then said to the people behind Master Lu: "Everyone takes one and wears it on their body, it cannot be removed, and they will all be returned after going down the mountain."

The yamen servants were stunned, and had no choice but to obey the order and go up to get things from the cloth bag.

It was just an ordinary gray cloth sachet, with no patterns on it, and it was extremely crudely made.

The yamen servants didn't know why, but the magistrate only gave orders without explaining. As yamen servants, they had always followed the rule of listening if their superiors said more, and not asking questions if their superiors didn't explain.

Ma Zhifu saw that everyone had received the sachets, and nodded in satisfaction: "Now—"

"My lord!" At this moment, a cold shout sounded.

Ma Zhifu frowned, looked up, and saw that the person who was talking was a small man, his face darkened: "What's the matter?"

The brim of that little man's hat was pulled low, covering most of his face, and because of the darkness, he couldn't see his face clearly.

The little man picked up the sachet, sniffed it lightly, and then raised his hand: "Excuse me, what are these sachets for?"

The faces of Zhifu Ma and Master Lu changed, of course it was the herbal medicine to guard against the Red Underworld Snake!

But Ma Zhifu is guilty of being a thief, and in the twelfth lunar month, he actually prepared medicine to prevent snakes and insects. This is a ghost, so I don't need to explain it.

Ma Zhifu sneered coldly: "Presumptuous, I told you to carry on things, and you carried on! It has a magical effect! You bastard, how dare you disobey."

"Hehehe." The little man suddenly laughed.

With this smile, everyone was startled, because it was a female voice, clear and swaying, soft and sweet, like a spring.

I saw that little man suddenly took off the hat on his head, revealing a shiny little face, she tore off the hairband on her head, and the black hair fell down, a beautiful girl, just like that Standing pretty in the moonlight.

Ma Zhifu and the government servants stared straight at him.

They have lived for so many years, and they have never seen such a stunning woman. Under the silver moonlight, she looks like a fairy Chang'e who has descended from the mortal world.

Ma Zhifu was startled, and his eyes widened: "You, who are you?" If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, needless to say, this girl must have come to tear him down! His eyes were stern, and he shouted violently: "Grab her!"

"Stop! Who dares to touch Mrs. Ben!" Ye Tangcai said in a deep voice, her little face gleaming brightly, full of majesty, made those clerks pause for a moment, only to hear her clear voice: "Ben Madam is Madam Xihou, Zhengyipin Zhenxihou who was proclaimed by the emperor."

Ma Zhifu heard that she was Chu Yunpan's wife, his face changed, and he shouted: "Fake, this is a bandit, kill her!"

The yamen servants were startled and quickly surrounded her. But maybe it was because she was too beautiful, maybe it was the Mrs. Zhenxihou she said, which made people hesitate for a moment.

"Very good." Ye Tangcai was not afraid, but instead sneered, "My wife has sent a letter to the capital. If my wife died here, it would be the work of Ma Zhifu and all the treacherous parties under his banner. The prince...is this Madam's brother-in-law!" She took a step forward while speaking.

The word "Prince" changed the expressions of the servants surrounding her.

Ma Zhifu's face was also livid, and he only shouted: "She is a fake, kill her."

Ye Tangcai let out a sneer, her glamorous little face was full of brilliance, she didn't look at Ma Zhifu, but only looked at Master Lu: "Master Lu, Ma Zhifu is going to rebel! Are you going to follow him like this? Madam has already found out that Ma Zhifu colluded with bandits and lured Zhenxihou into the mountain. It was really a conspiracy. Zhenxihou's life and death on the mountain are uncertain. So Ma Zhifu immediately ordered the officials to go up the mountain, saying that the bandits would disguise themselves as witchcraft, hehehe , have you read too many storybooks? If the bandit knows such sorcery, why did he end up in such a predicament?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the yamen servants were enlightened.

In fact, they had doubts for a long time, but this was an order from the top, and they dared not refute it, and they were so dizzy and dizzy when they ran, there was no time to think about it.

Now when Ye Tangcai said this, everyone was startled and their expressions changed suddenly.

"So, the Marquis of Zhenxi on the mountain is real! In order to kill Marquis of Zhenxi, Ma Zhifu sent people to pretend to be Chu's army and report back. Prefect Ma asked you to kill the real Marquis of Zhenxi." Ye Tangcai continued.

The yamen's faces became even uglier, and they were in a dilemma for a while.

As Ye Tangcai said, he looked at Master Lu again: "My lady has already found out the whole story and sent her back to the capital. Even if you kill my lady and Marquis Zhenxi here, you are still colluding with bandits! Murdered heroes !The emperor and the crown prince will kill you all!"
