Chapter 136: Bandits Attack
"Oh? But that woman called Madam Chang? Is she the one with a child? The one who thinks she's rich and awesome and looks down on everyone?"
"Yes, that woman. Why, brother, are you moved?"
The man spoke in a flattering manner.
The eldest brother in charge stroked his beard and said, "She's quite beautiful. I'm attracted to her. I heard that she's a widow and her husband just died, right?"
"That's exactly what happened."
"Then let's go, tonight. Bring her to my village to be my wife, and make me some extra money. I can take my brothers to eat and drink well, and we don't have to rob houses anymore. Very good!"
The eldest brother made up his mind and asked his brothers to rest. They found an inn to stay in before the city gate closed and waited until it was dark and windy before walking to the door of the Gu family together.
Chang Xixi's eyelids kept twitching that night, as if something big was about to happen!
She also thought that she might be too superstitious. Now she even believed in such things. It was really because she had been alone for so long that she believed in everything.
She lit a stick of benzoin, glanced at the child who was already sleeping beside her, and then went to sleep peacefully.
Just as she closed her eyes, Liang Ming walked straight into the room without even saying hello. He grabbed Chang Xixi's sleeve and was about to walk out. Chang Xixi wanted to curse him, but when she saw him, she stretched out her hand and followed Li Da.
Li Da's face was filled with fear and a hint of worry. She quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"Thieves are coming."
"Oh? Thieves? Where did they come from? I haven't offended anyone." Chang Xixi calmly picked up the child and followed Liang Ming out the door. The group of thieves had just entered the yard.
One was opening the door, and several others came in from the top of the wall.
Chang Xixi smiled and asked someone to turn on all the lights. She wanted to see who these people were.
The brothers that Li Da had called over during the day had all lit torches, and some had already surrounded the people outside. In an instant, the small courtyard was brightly lit.
"Let me see! Who are they? How dare you break into my mansion? You guys are so arrogant! Why don't you even ask how many people are behind me?"
Chang Xixi walked in with the child in her arms and suddenly spotted a familiar face in the crowd. Isn't this... the troublemaker who was defeated today?
She asked Renwen to bring the man out and walked around him.
Chang Xixi was afraid that the child would see the bloody scene, so she asked Xiaohong to carry the child into the room.
"You're looking for someone to take revenge on you again? That's great! If it weren't for the fact that you and I are on opposite sides now, I really want to be your friend. I really admire your courage."
The man felt oppressed when he saw the people in the yard. He said, "You prepared in advance. Did you find someone to follow me? I know. I went to find the bandits."
Chang Xixi saw the person behind him again and said, "Ah... So, the person behind you is a gangster? I thought he was a hired thug."
The man realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth! Chang Xixi just smiled.
The eldest brother among the fierce bandits stood up and expressed his attraction to Chang Xixi, "Madam Chang, I like you very much! Why don't you come back to the village with me and become the wife of the chief."
Liang Ming's sword was instantly placed on his neck. "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Be my wife! I promise to marry you in a grand sedan chair. I don't mind you, widow. I admire your work style and your character. If you are here, we will be recruited by the imperial court one day. Then, you can become the general's wife. You see, you give me money from your business, and I will recruit brothers to join us. In the end, we can become officials of the imperial court and even serve the imperial court."
Chang Xixi found him so dirty and amused. "Why don't you look in the mirror to see what you look like? You still want to marry me? Do you know that the people queuing up in front of my door wanting to marry me can line up all the way to the capital, so there's no chance of your turn! What a joke!"
When Liang Ming heard Chang Xixi say this, he immediately retracted the sword in his hand. As long as Chang Xixi was calm and didn't run away with other people, he would have no reason to kill her.
It will be spread tomorrow...
Murder has occurred in the Gu Mansion, and the killer's method has caused even more trouble. Furthermore, there are more than ten of these thugs! If they were all wiped out at once, it would definitely attract attention. It's best to hand these people over to the authorities as soon as possible.
Chang Xixi also thought so, and whispered to Renwen to report to the police.
She wouldn't hit these people, wouldn't even touch a hair on their heads. Instead, she ordered Li Da's men, "Take all the weapons from them, and search them for any silver. If they have any, leave it all to me. If not, take off your coats and sell them at the market tomorrow. If you have any, use them to drink. It's not easy to get out here this late at night."
Seeing how much Chang Xixi cherished money, the eldest brother liked her even more and said, "Madam Chang, I only married one wife in my life, but she died a long time ago. She starved to death, otherwise I wouldn't have become a bandit. If you follow me, I will definitely treat you well! That wife was five years ago. After she died, I never remarried. I don't even look down on ordinary women. You should at least consider me... My money and clothes are not worth much, so you can take them as you like."
Chang Xixi felt sick after hearing this. Is there such a bastard in the world?
The person who was looking for trouble really saw through Chang Xixi's methods this time. She was not just talking nonsense. She immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Mrs. Chang, please, please forgive me! I was so blind that I didn't recognize Mount Tai. How could I think of stealing your money? I deserve to die. Please let me go! From now on, I will never do such a thing again."
"What kind of thing? I gave you two chances, and you didn't take them once! You want me to let you go again, let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Chang Xixi smiled.
He called Li Da forward and whispered to him, "Find a place and kill this man for me. Tomorrow, find out if there are any other relatives in his family. Give him some money and bury him. As for how he died, just say he was killed by bandits! Say that the bandits were coming to rob my house, and he sent a message in advance, saving my life. It's a pity that he died not long ago!"
"yes."
Li Da dragged the man out, covered his mouth, and then stabbed him in the heart with a knife. He died in a few seconds.
Blood and mud mixed together, but there was no bloody smell. Only the sound of rain gradually grew louder. The officials and the government officials arrived quickly.
