Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

Rao is Bai Xiaoru is young and shallow, and he can't help but change color slightly, and said in his heart: This must be a house on the street that has been broken by a strongman, how can the Tartar soldiers have been defeated, and now there are officials and soldiers in the city, why can there still be strong people, and the officials and soldiers will not come to suppress them.

was in his heart, there was

movement outside the wall, a woman's miserable scream pierced the night sky, it was estimated that it was not too far, Bai Xiaoru was shocked, covered her mouth tightly with one hand, turned around and trot, and shook her other arm in the air, Yu ran was afraid in her heart, two lines of tears suddenly gushed out, Yin Yin Meng fled into the house, closed the door with her backhand, and then she was relieved, her hand pressed her chest, and her heart was already banging like thunder, and she wanted to break her chest.

"Who, who. But it was a man's frightened cry.

"Dad, it's me. Bai Xiaoru heard this familiar voice, turned around to look for it, but it was like a curtain in front of her, and she couldn't see anything at all.

"You went out again, telling you not to go out. The man reproached rather dissatisfied.

"Master, slaves don't understand, why are the officers and soldiers coming, we can't sleep in the bed, but we have to hide in this kind of ghost place, and the officers and soldiers can be worse than the Tartars. This is the dissatisfaction of the stepmother Li, she has been used to hearing miserable screams in the past few months, but she is not very afraid. This remote wing room is damp and close to the latrine, and there is occasionally a disgusting smell wafting through, which is the boudoir she left for Bai Xiaoru.

"In these years, who can say for sure, how much treasure the Tartars have robbed, naturally it is not bad for our family, it will not be tossed for no reason, and it is not worth it to get a little silver when you come to rob it, and the officers and soldiers have heard that they have always been short of salary, but they will be red at our little silver, regardless of the chaos. "

"The soldiers and bandits are a family, and our family is afraid that we will suffer this time, woo. The stepmother Li was desolate in her heart, and she sobbed with her sleeves.

"If it doesn't work, go back to the old house, the rebels will not kill the poor countryside, just shop these cloth goods ....... Saying that, Boss Bai hesitated but was silent, it is not easy to accumulate family business, this shop is his hard work for decades, and it is the top meat of his heart that is more precious than his life.

"Crackling" strange sound, the light and shadow outside the wall are also hazy, this sudden movement made Boss Bai's heart suddenly, he knew in his heart, this is the iron hooves trampling on the stone road, the gold and stone are still piercing, and there is only one stone street around Sizhi next to this street, which is extremely close.

Bai Xiaoru and stepmother Li subconsciously hugged each other, they also knew that there was only one stone road near their home, which was very close to home, and this group of soldiers came out in the dark late at night and didn't know if there was another plan, if their mother and daughter fell into their hands, it would not end well, and if the woman lost her innocence, this life would be ruined.

"Why don't you jump into the well. Bai Xiaoru sneered, gritted her teeth and broke free from her stepmother's embrace, although she was quite afraid in her heart, in the end she was a high-spirited young lady, listening to the movement outside, the rebels seemed to stop on Stone Street, and did not come here again, her heart was a little calmer, and the young lady's temper surged up, and her disgust for her stepmother prevailed, and she was busy separating from her.

"Sir, sir. "At the door is the shopkeeper Zhang Laitu, he can't stay in the front yard, but he actually touched this place himself.

"This guy is a thief who has broken the dignity. "Boss Bai is angry, this garden is a back house, where young ladies and ladies live, etc., and people outside the house have broken in without rules, how can people not be angry.

"You don't know ...... rules. Boss Bai stepped forward and pulled the bolt of the door, and was about to reprimand when he opened the door, he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of a figure behind Zhang Laitu, and naturally he couldn't see who it was in the dark night. A cold wind blew suddenly, he shivered, the night was dark and the wind was high, in case Xiao Zhang was an inner ghost and lured thieves into the house, could it be that he couldn't make money and kill him. The night is dark and the wind is high, and there are only a few female relatives in the family, which is really a good time to kill people and sell goods.

"Master, why did you come here, it's a good time to look for it. Zhang Laitu nodded as usual, in a humble tone.

"Who is this. Hearing that the guy's tone seemed to be the same, Boss Bai felt a little more relieved, so he asked.

"This, this is my brother, Chen Pi, him. Zhang Laitu said that there were some bad words, this tangerine peel is a splash of skin in the county, it is a cheap life stealing chickens and dogs, it is really not on the table, it is really difficult to open the mouth.

"What for. Boss Bai asked hoarsely, suddenly felt his heart beating loudly, his hands and feet were even more cold and weak, and he was almost unable to stand and collapse.

"He came to borrow money, there are soldiers outside, on the street over there, knock on the door one by one, pay the money and it will be

fine, if you don't pay it, you will be beaten badly, the soldiers are unreasonable, like this Chen Pi, at a glance, you can see that it is a broken house with no money and no power, and it is impossible to cut it with a knife, where can you tell people to reason, there are dead people on the street outside, and a head is thrown out of Li Ji Noodle Shop, which Chen Pi saw with his own eyes. "

"No, no money. Boss Bai resolutely refused, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately woke up, and thought it was inappropriate, now there is no royal law in this city, although the two men at the door are not strong, but there is a group of women in the house, if there is a dispute, you must know that the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry.

"The soldiers are over there, you just go to avoid them, or hide, and the people are not locals, how can you find out all the people. Boss Bai thought about it in his heart, but he still felt more sorry for the silver, so he made suggestions to the two of them.

"Don't give money, right, your girl is a beauty, and no one in the neighborhood knows about it. Chen Pi said impatiently and coldly: "I'll go and inform the soldiers outside, and bring them to get along with your girl, I can get some reward, hehe." "

"This. Boss Bai was speechless, those soldiers were all characters who licked blood from the edge of the knife, if her own girl asked those beast soldiers to rob them, she would not want to end well.

"It's really ridiculous, just a group of soldiers came, and a soldier wanted to take me as a concubine, so I agreed, you can't do it It's also a general mind, giggles, my aunt and grandmother are also in demand. Bai Xiaoru's anger suddenly came out of the house, and it was particularly harsh in the silent night.

Boss Bai was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then he realized that his girl was deceiving outsiders, fortunately, there was no moon tonight, relying on the glow outside the wall, and it was only when he spoke face-to-face that he could distinguish the outline of the shadow, and the expressions on their faces changed and outsiders were not seen, and finally there was no flaw, and he hurriedly said: "I said yes to that official, I will come to marry tomorrow, you don't have to spoil his good deeds, otherwise your life will be lost." "

Chen Pi was really startled, took a step back, discussed with Liu Laitu, and asked, "What should I do about this." "

Liu Laitu scolded in his heart: "Stupid, there is more than enough success and more failure." "

Now the people in the

city are panicking, are rumored that the Ming officers and soldiers break into the houses in the dark from time to time at night, killing people and stealing goods to do thieves, he listened to the neighborhood this morning, the details are all there, the heart of these terrible rumors of the faith, just think that sooner or later it will be the turn of the white boss this shop, he slept in the back room of this shop at night, one day the rebels came in, the first one to cut down him, the unlucky guy, thought of shame, did not dare to stay in this dangerous place, moved the mind of escape.

The so-called poor family rich road, go out far to pinch everything is indispensable, it is the season of war and chaos, the price of food has risen through the sky, his savings are not much, the family is estimated to not last a few days, when the time is short, the time is short, outside the day should not be, called the earth is not spiritual, but it is just a few hungry people on the side of the road. Thinking of this, he moved his mind to steal the Bai family at night.

Since childhood, the beloved is timid and afraid of things, how can he be suddenly reborn overnight, and the idea of doing evil suddenly appears, he first bluffs himself into a panic, his hands and feet are sore, and his chest is like a bulge, but he has a thief's heart but not that thief's courage. As the saying goes, wine is intimidating, he went to the liquor store to get half a pound of soju, and was about to go home to drink it, when he caught a glimpse of a figure leaning against the stable trough post outside the liquor store, and the place was filthy, but the man did not care, and was full of anger and acted like a scoundrel.

"This man is a man who can do that, so let's be a partner with him. Liu Laitu's mind changed sharply, if he changed his usual life, he would know at a glance that he was not a good kind of goods, how dare he provoke it, lest he avoid it. At this time, he couldn't care about it, and he had to quickly escape from this dangerous place.

Thinking of this, Liu came to the soil to talk to him, and learned that this person was Chen Pi, but he was a famous stealer of chickens and dogs in the city.

The two discussed tonight's action, but it happened that the sky hung and cut the moon, almost like a bend of filament, faintly regretted, this is lucky, the moon is dark and the wind is high and the thieves are high, they prepare the tools only to wait for the third watch, unfortunately tonight the thieves are the same heart, the officers and soldiers also want to go together, the second watch suddenly appeared a group of officers and soldiers surrounded these streets, door to door to blackmail the people, they heard the movement, went out to see, they saw the torch swaying marmoset, there was a fluffy black ball thrown from Li Ji noodle shop, rolled to the other side of the street, they could not see it from a distance, listened to the dull sound of the ground, only suspected that it was a head, but never dared to go up to carefully distinguish, fart and urine fled back to Bai Ji cloth shop, Liu Laitu's hands were trembling like a sieve, and he couldn't even grasp the door bolt steadily, and he pushed back and forth several times before bolting the door.

"Ah, dead,

Lee, Boss Li is dead. He also has a two-year-old child. Woo, I have a baby, what can I do. Liu Laitu leaned his back against the wooden door and muttered to himself.

"You coward, don't tell people that you know Lao Tzu, a head is so scared that you can't take a human shape, how can you do big things. Chen Pi said disdainfully.

"You, you're not much better. Liu Laitu replied angrily, just now the two of them fled together, and Chen Pi also hit him under the ribs with an elbow in order to take the first step, causing him to grin in pain, and it still did not subside at this time.

"Don't say it's useless, hey, I have an idea. Chen Pi pursed his lips and said, suddenly a flash of inspiration, and the thief's eyebrows and eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh. Liu Laitu was skeptical, he gradually figured out the character of this tangerine peel, he was so loud, and he had no faith, he would betray his companion's goods in danger, and he regretted pulling him into the gang.

"Tsk, you stupid donkey, use your brains well, what kind of people are most afraid of officers and soldiers, they are not afraid of showing off people,

their officials and gentry are all ganged up, ordinary soldiers dare not offend, we poor ghosts, rotten life, no oil and water in the stomach can't pick out shit and urine, people look down on it, and there is nothing to be afraid of, then, Boss Bai has a little money like this, not to be rich, that's what the officers and soldiers want to get. Chen Pi licked the tip of his tongue, grinned, his eyebrows squeezed together, and he was very proud of the break just now.

"So what's the matter, you have the ability to find someone to help you, huh. When Liu Laitu heard these words, he was only full of depression, thinking that this stinky problem with good words had come again, but he couldn't do it again, the ruffian who killed a thousand knives was a good word, and his consistent nonsense was useless.

"Hey, what do I mean, Boss Bai, he is afraid of soldiers, he is afraid of soldiers is the most important thing, we can borrow this. Speaking of this, Chen Pi was already completely immersed in the longing of floating wealth from the sky, and his mind was swaying and he could hardly control himself. His face was attached to Chen Laitu's shoulder, and in the dark room, through the faint light of the crack in the door, Chen Laitu looked down, only Chen Pi's buck teeth and black eye sockets were faintly outlined, like a skull opening his mouth and exhaling heavily, spewing out a stench of rotting corpses, and the earth-shattering waves of poisonous gas staggered him, and he took a few steps back, and his back spine stopped touching the wall.

"It's important to pick up, don't bother to make noise, this time the rebels are coming so loudly, this movement is estimated to be more than just a small search street, maybe it will touch the door, we can't afford to delay." Liu Laitu couldn't resist the evil wind, hurriedly pushed away, took a step back, and said impatiently.

"Let's go to Boss Bai and tell him that if he doesn't give the silver, he will attract rebels to play with his daughter-in-law, hehehe. Speaking of the wonders, Chen Pi smiled with a smile, and his facial features were squeezed together, full of ruffianism.

"This, this is too evil, didn't it mean that it was good to go in and steal the silver and leave, why bother. Liu Laitu couldn't bear it, and hesitated.

"At times like this, alas, the fool hid the silver in his room, and buried it in a piece of soil, and made a mark on it, and the devil knows what the mark was, and how he could steal it by rummaging through a few chests and cabinets. Chen Pihuo had to go crazy, and said with a hideous anger on his face, showing that he had long hated this, and his life was unsatisfactory.

Liu Laitu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and lifted the ladder to climb over the courtyard wall, but after entering, he couldn't find Boss Bai, at this time, the chaotic soldiers outside were even more fierce, women screamed, angry shouts, crying, all kinds of chaotic noises pierced the night sky, spread far away, the people of Fangyuan said that there were hundreds, but everyone was silent, only hiding in the corner and in the dark, frightened, trembling.
