Chapter 421 Aunt Lus tragic death
The water bandits had long since set their sights on Lu Hehua's two daughters, grabbed them and hugged them into his arms, laughing: "Little beauties, I will take you ashore to eat and drink delicious food. You must be obedient. Co, Give a kiss."
Ah, let us go! Lu Hehuas two daughters were so frightened that they tried to struggle but couldnt get away at all.
Changing Zhi and another pretty maid were also held in the arms of the two water bandits, and they scread in fright.
Aunt Lu looked at them, but she was extrely calm, and asked: "Are you the people the old man found?"
The fifth master smiled and said: "Hey, you're not stupid enough to guess our identities."
"The old man actually invited water bandits to deal with . It seems that he hates ." Aunt Lu sneered: "The old man was killed by and lost so many people in the county. I deserve it." !
Seeing that Aunt Lu was still talking to the water bandits, Lu Hehua imdiately shouted: "i Hua, i Hua, for the sake of taking a fancy to our sisters, just go with these n honestly and don't involve us."
He then said to this group of water bandits: "Masters, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. She is the aunt of Zou County Cheng. She is the one you are looking for. Carry her away. Carry her away quickly."
Don't arrest her, she doesn't want to die yet.
Aunt Lu looked at Lu Hehua and said with a smile: "Second sister, you have enjoyed blessings for so many years thanks to my sister. Now that my sister is suffering, your whole family should suffer together."
Aunt Lu knew that she was about to die, so she would support anyone who could support her, and she would not care about the relationship between sisters.
Aunt Lu looked at Lu Hehua's two daughters and said, "My two nieces are still from a girl's family. They have been raised by the Lu family and my money since they were born. They are even more delicate than the ladies from the rich family. You are all blessed today." .
After hearing this, Lu Hehua's two daughters turned pale with fright. They looked at Aunt Lu and sobbed: "Third, Third Aunt, why do you want to harm us?"
"Huh, harming you? You grew up eating the money I gave you, and now you are just repaying the favor." Aunt Lu sat like a dead person, not caring about the two nieces at all.
Fifth Master, its not advisable to stay here for a long ti. Lets take them away first. said an old man hiding behind the water bandits.
After hearing this, Aunt Lu felt that the voice sounded familiar. She imdiately looked at the old man and saw that he was wearing a bamboo hat, barefoot and dripping with water. She couldn't help but frowned: "Who are you? Are we? Have you seen it?"
The old man chuckled and looked up at Aunt Lu: "Aunt Lu has good eyesight. She has only t the old man twice and she has morized his voice."
Aunt Lu looked at the old man and said in shock: "You, you are the la Liu who delivers water chestnuts!"
Zou Xiancheng loved to eat water chestnuts. Every year during the water chestnut production season, he would have people deliver water chestnuts to his family. Laizi Liu was one of the farrs who sent water chestnuts to the Zou family.
However, Laiziliu was different from other farrs who delivered water chestnuts. Zou Xiancheng occasionally t him in person.
Aunt Lu had seen Cripple Liu twice when she was favored. At that ti, she was still puzzled and asked Zou County Cheng, there were several families who sent water chestnuts, why did she only see Cripple Liu?
Zou Xiancheng said that the water chestnuts grown by Laizi Liu's family were delicious and worth seeing.
Now it seems that sending water chestnuts is just a pretense. This la Liu should be the person who specially delivers ssages to the water bandits for Zou Xiancheng.
"You, you are not invited by the old guy... The old guy is with you! He, he dares to collude with the water bandits." Aunt Lu's face turned pale with fright: "What if the old guy's affairs are found out by the governnt? What should I do with my Brother Zhen and Sister Wan? This plagued old man wants to kill Brother Zhen and Sister Wan."
Cripple Liu said disdainfully: "It's been so many years. If the governnt had the ability, they would have discovered it long ago." After speaking, he laughed again and said to Aunt Lu: "Aunt Lu, don't worry about the Fifth Miss. Lao Zou thinks she is a You bastard, she has been betrothed to the eldest son of Landlord Lu's family in Luchang County. This is the marriage specially chosen by Lao Zou for the fifth young lady. Soon, the fifth young lady will be able to marry into the Lu family and enjoy happiness."
"What did you say?!" Aunt Lu almost fainted: "The old man betrothed Sister Wan's son to a fool from the Lu family. Is he crazy?"
Aunt Lu knew about the Lu family. Zou Xiancheng told her more than once that Landlord Lu was a terrible person. At that ti, she also laughed at the Lu family, saying that the stupid son of the Lu family would definitely not be able to get a wife.
Unexpectedly, her sister Wan was actually betrothed to that fool by the old man.
Aunt Lu cried bitterly. She didn't cry for long before she was knocked unconscious by the bandits. She was carried off the big boat, thrown into a small boat, and brought to the shore to a mountain near the water.
There is a stockade in the mountains, which is the lair of the water bandits. Aunt Lu and the female mbers of the Lu family were brought here and suffered a lot of torture.
Aunt Lu was the worst. Not only did she serve the water bandits in the village, but she was also tortured by Ling Chi. This shows how much Zou County Cheng hated her.
It was not until the next day that the people in Liuye Lane discovered that the Lu familys female relatives were missing. They boarded the boat to ask, but the boss of the boat said that Aunt Lu and the others did not want to be slaves and jumped into the water to escape.
After the boat boss finished speaking, he went ashore with the officer to report to the officer.
It often happened that people who were used as official slaves jumped into the water. The governnt just sent people to search randomly for a long ti and stopped caring about it.
People in Liuye Alley didnt believe that the won of the Lu family escaped by jumping into the water, so they searched for them on the Huai River for five days. On the afternoon of the fifth day, they finally found several floating corpses on the Huai River. They looked like won of the Lu family.
They died not long ago. They were probably thrown into the Huai River not long after their death and floated along the current.
One of the female corpses was particularly horrifying. Most of the flesh was removed from her body, leaving only a skeleton hanging with pieces of at. But everyone in Liuye Lane knew that this should be Aunt Lu.
Seeing Aunt Lu's body, the people in Liuye Lane almost vomited. They didn't dare to stay longer. They set off back to Tianfu County overnight and told Zou Yuzhen what happened.
Zou Yuzhen was relieved when he heard the news of Aunt Lu's tragic death... Aunt Lu finally died, and she died so miserably. The old man must have been angry because he was safe.
Cripple Liu ca back two days earlier than the people in Liuye Lane. As soon as he ca back, he sent water chestnuts to the Zou family and told Zou County Cheng about Aunt Lu and the Lu family's female relatives.
After Zou Xiancheng learned about Aunt Lu's fate, he felt very comfortable and his illnesses were much better.
Zou Jiang saw Zou County Cheng's happy look and felt sothing was wrong: Master, what's going on? Why do you beco so happy after eting the person who gave you water chestnuts?
Three days after Zou Jiang was puzzled, news of the tragic deaths of the Lu family's female relatives and Aunt Lu reached the county governnt. Zou Jiang is a confidant of Zou County Cheng and has an informant in the county governnt.
The scribe secretly copied a copy of the letter sent by the prefect's Yan and gave it to Zou Jiang.
Zou Jiang saw the words water bandits, Gouhe Dao, Ling Chi and other words on it, and then thought of the old farr who delivered the water chestnuts, and was shocked... The master bribed the water bandits to kill Aunt Lu.
How could the master take such a big risk?
If soone discovers it, the master will definitely be charged with colluding with water bandits, and the whole family will lose their heads by then.
