Chapter 140: One arm is only worth 1 silver coins
Things related to people are full of variables. Who knows what twists and turns there are? ! Bao Er has not been around for nothing these years. He is completely different from when he fled from famine.
"You haven't done it?! I'm afraid you've done too many things, so many that you can't even remember them all!" Song Qingci resisted the urge to slap him in the face.
However, I didn’t expect Yinxing to take action directly.
He slapped Bao Er in the face and said viciously, "Just answer the questions asked by the young lady! It's not your turn to criticize the master!"
Yinxing didn't hold back when slapping me, and her hand was hurt.
However, she did not regret it. This bastard had done so many bad things and dared to throw dirty water on the young lady. He was really too brave.
Everyone present was stunned by Yinxing's actions.
Song Qingci secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Awesome! This girl.
Yin Xing saw the young lady's thumbs up, and tilted her head in embarrassment, then stepped aside.
Bao Er was stunned.
He hadn't been hit in years. Not to mention his face, he didn't even dare to hit his feet.
He habitually wanted to explode, but then he thought of his current situation and stopped thinking about it. He lowered his head and said nothing.
It looks like passive resistance.
"Ah Ci, who is this Chen Xiaoliang?" Lou couldn't help but ask.
She had looked through the account books and there didn't seem to be such a name in them.
The old lady also cast an inquiring look, wanting to know who this Chen Xiaoliang was.
"Mother, this Chen Xiaoliang was once an ordinary soldier under Shan Li. Two years ago, he was seriously injured on the battlefield and had to retreat from the front line."
"Chen Xiaoliang was originally from a village outside Beijing, so after retiring from the army, he returned to his hometown. Because of his serious injuries and disability, his family members disliked him. They pretended to take him in for a while, and after cheating him out of his pension, they found a reason to separate him from them."
"Not all people in this world are ungrateful and ungrateful. There are still good people. An orphan girl from the same village as Chen Xiaoliang saw that Chen Xiaoliang was having a hard time living alone, so she wanted to take care of him. As a result, the two of them actually developed a liking for each other. A few months later, they officially got married."
"One is an orphan and the other is disabled. Their life is not good. One day, Chen Xiaoliang's wife heard that Xu Chun, the manager of Xiaowangzhuang, was looking for a temporary servant to help our general's mansion. He would work for three months and get two taels of silver per month. Chen Xiaoliang's wife wanted to earn this money. In three months, she could earn a total of six taels of silver. "
"Chen Xiaoliang and his wife work hard for a year and can't earn two taels of silver, but they can earn six taels of silver in three months. The temptation is really too great. What's more, they already have a child. They want to give birth to the child and raise him safely. This money can just solve their urgent needs." At this point, Song Qingci took the time to look at Bao Er.
However, he still doesn't seem to remember anything.
''Chen Xiaoliang originally refused, because he couldn't bear to see his wife suffer, especially when she was pregnant. But he failed to convince his wife. His wife said that she was used to suffering, and the general's mansion was a good place, and maybe she could live better than at home. What's more, it was only three months, so it wouldn't be a problem. In the end, Chen Xiaoliang had no choice but to agree. In this way, Chen Xiaoliang's wife, who was only two months pregnant, was taken away by Xu Chun. ''
"Madam, you have said so much, but it's all about Xu Chun. What does it have to do with me?" Bao Er couldn't help it.
What does what Xu Chun did have to do with him!
"Don't worry! It will be your turn soon! Don't worry, if you are eager to die, I will definitely help you!"
Yin Xing seemed to have found pleasure in punishing the wicked, and stepped forward and slapped Bao Er again, "Shut up! It's not your turn to speak yet!"
After the fight, she returned to her previous position and pretended nothing had happened.
Song Qingci silently gave Yin Xing a thumbs up in his heart!
Yinxing has become successful enough to be her hand replacement!
Not bad.
"What Xu Chun did has little to do with you. However, three months later, when Chen Xiaoliang's wife was supposed to come home, she didn't show up."
"Chen Xiaoliang waited at home for five days but his wife didn't come back, so he went to the General's Mansion. It was Xu Chun who used the name of the General's Mansion to make Chen Xiaoliang's wife believe it."
"But how did you treat Chen Xiaoliang who came to your house?" Song Qingci's eyes were filled with frost, which made Bao Er move back involuntarily.
"Chen Xiaoliang lost his left arm on the battlefield, but how did he lose his right arm? Bao Er, do you remember? ! "
Having said that, Bao Er finally remembered something.
About a year and a half ago, a one-armed man came to the door of the general's mansion. He said that his wife worked in the mansion and he came to find his wife.
That day, I happened to run into Bao Er patrolling at the gatehouse.
In fact, not all the servants at the gatehouse of the general's mansion were people like Bao Er. There were also many normal servants. However, Bao Er wanted to meet more people who came to the general's mansion to look for someone, so he would come to the gatehouse from time to time.
After all, the more people you meet, the more filial piety you have the chance to receive.
Chen Xiaoliang was eager to find his wife, so his words might not be pleasant to the ears. This greatly offended Bao Er.
When he was outside the general's mansion, he simply ordered people to drive Chen Xiaoliang away.
However, Bao Er, who was unable to swallow his anger, contacted some thugs on the street and retaliated against and beat Chen Xiaoliang at the city gate.
Even though Chen Xiaoliang had fought in the battlefield and killed enemies before, two fists cannot defeat four hands. If he met a group of thugs, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed. Moreover, he was a disabled person who was malnourished and hungry for a long time.
However, his military spirit would not allow him to show weakness or beg for mercy. In the end, his only remaining right arm was chopped off by the gang leader.
In the end, the thugs took the arm to Bao Er to take credit for it.
In order to get this broken arm, Bao Er paid an extra three taels of silver as a reward in addition to the promised reward.
"What?! Did you remember it?!" Looking at his expression, Song Qingci knew that he must have remembered it.
"I...I..." After saying "I" for a long time, Bao Er didn't know what to say.
