Zhu Yuanzhang returned with the Zhang family, alarming the entire Ma family compound. After all, what happened in the Zhang family was too big. People who had nothing to do with this matter wanted to know what happened when the rioters attacked the Ma family. Now that the survivors of the Zhang family have returned, how can they not come and ask?

Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of Zhang family maids were quickly summoned to the hall of the front yard. They saw two rows of neatly arranged chairs in the hall of the front yard, and almost all the important figures of the Ma family were sitting.

The first person sitting at the top was of course Ma Zhixiong, the eldest son of the Ma family. He sat upright, with a serious face and a bad expression. On the one hand, the Ma family's plan to make friends with a county magistrate went bankrupt, and on the other hand, it was also because his personal guard Fang Xuan died in the Zhang Mansion.

Ma Qianjiu put his hands on both sides of his body, stood respectfully beside Ma Zhixiong, with his head hanging down.

Ma Zhibin, the second young master of the Ma family, sat on the second chair with Ma Zhixiong's head. His sitting posture was very strange. It was better to say that he was asleep than sitting. The expression on his face was obviously a little negligent. It seemed that he was not very interested in what happened in the Zhang family, but others were watching the fun, so he would come by.

Next to Ma Zhibin, there was a woman Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen before, and a close-fitting maid stood behind her. She had a small round face, big eyes, a little plump figure, but she didn't look fat. She had the right body shape and fair and delicate skin, which was considered a beauty. Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that he had seen this woman somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this woman looked a bit like Zhang Douyao. It seemed that she was the Miss Zhang family who married the second young master, and now she should be considered the second young lady of the Ma family.

There were obvious tears on her face. It was obvious that after hearing that her father and brother were killed, she cried all day long. When she saw Zhu Yuanzhang bringing a group of servants from the Zhang family into the hall, she jumped up from her seat and ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang and his group. Her pair of wrapped feet could not support her body and ran stumbled. She ignored the dignity of her grandmother and cried loudly: "Qiuye... are you still alive?"

The group of maids behind Zhu Yuanzhang also started crying at the same time. One of them cried and said, "Miss... Qiuye escaped by chance, but both the master and the young master... wu..."

The second young lady rushed into the pile of maids behind Zhu Yuanzhang, holding one of the maids and cried sadly. Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head curiously and saw that the maid was the kind-hearted girl who was almost insulted, and later escaped and sent a blanket to Zhu Yuanzhang. It turned out that her name was Qiuye, and she was one of the best maids who grew up with the second young lady and had the best relationship.

A group of women suddenly cried, and their whimpering cries echoed in the lobby, which made everyone feel upset. The eldest young master of the Ma family frowned, but he didn't say anything. The second young master, the idiot, said, "Cry and cry! Women are just troublesome... I said, "Madam, how can you cry like this with a few lowly servants? Come back and sit down."

The second young lady frowned when her newly married husband shouted, and her eyebrows were raised. Her face was quite interesting, and she usually looked pretty, but when she frowned, she felt a bit fierce. It seemed that the Three Consequences and Four Virtues had not yet taken root in her heart. She was a woman who dared to compete with her husband.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded at the right time: "Second brother, what are you saying? At this time, I don't say a few words... My sister-in-law is mourning now. Don't cry now. I quickly ask clearly what happened that day and how to deal with the funeral later. This is the truth."

It turned out that the third lady of the Ma family was also sitting, just opposite the second young master, and the little maid Zi Xincai sat behind her. She was kind by nature and didn't like to argue. When she saw her second brother and sister-in-law, she would fight and quickly came out to smooth things over.

The third lady's words played a role. The second young lady didn't return to her seat, so she hugged the maid called Qiuye and asked, "What happened that day? Tell me..."

"Maid... I don't know... Woo... That day, the guard Fang from the Ma family came to ask for the master and spoke in the back garden, as if talking about the third lady of the Ma family marrying our young master. At this moment, a huge shout of killing came from the county yamen. Later, a yamen runner came to the master and said that there were rioters attacking the county yamen, yelling to kill the officials and rebel..."

The little maid named Qiuye said in a terrified tone: "Later... the master ordered the guards to move the rockery in the garden to the top of the door. Unexpectedly, before the door was over, the rioters rushed in and killed everyone when they saw it... Everyone was hiding around in the mansion. The maid was originally hiding in the grass beside the hanging flower door, but was caught by the three rioters. They took off their maid's clothes... Woo woo..."

"What?" The second young lady was furious: "They insulted you? Damn!"

Qiuye whispered, "No... they just took off their maid's clothes and had not had time to do that... The leader of the rioters happened to pass by. They were two leaders, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin. They drove away the three rioters who were going to insult me ​​and let me run for my own life... I changed my place to hide, and I didn't know what happened later... I hid until it was almost dark and there were no rioters at home, so the maid dared to come out." She said in a mess, sometimes calling herself a maid, and sometimes calling herself me. Obviously, her emotions returned to the environment of that day, and she still had lingering fears in her heart.

"I haven't been insulted... Fortunately, it's a blessing in disgrace." The second young lady has always regarded Qiuye as a sister. When she heard that she had escaped, she felt a little comforted.

At this time, the second young master spoke again and said sarcastically: "All clothes were stripped away, isn't this an insult? Ha! This is already a loss of moral character..."

"What are you talking about?" The second young master's eyebrows stood up again: "Just stripping your clothes will be considered a holiday? I have to take off all my clothes and take off all my clothes to sleep. Wouldn't I have to lose two holidays every day? Haha, the cuckold on your head will be dripping oil."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was really angry and funny. The second young master and the second young grandmother were both stupid. What is the situation now? The couple actually quarreled here, and they both shouted with some untenable reasons.

It turned out that Miss Zhang originally planned to marry into the other party's house on the same day as Miss Ma's third. They chose March 22nd. As a result, Zheng Yanfu killed the official and rebelled on March 21st, so Miss Ma's third could not marry.

However, the matter of Miss Zhang's marriage to the second young master was held as scheduled. Because the news came to Baishui, Miss Zhang happened to marry the second young master of Ma's family. Just when she was about to enter the bridal chamber, the news that the whole Zhang family was killed came...

Miss Zhang suddenly burst into tears, and naturally she couldn't get into the bridal chamber.

The second young master was not able to enter the bridal chamber. As soon as his temper came up, he scolded her a few words. Her whole family died. The second young master was still swearing in this way, and it was like a wound that was pouring oil on the fire. The couple immediately had a big quarrel. Before the relationship between the couple began to develop, it was completely broken.

As a result, the two of them slept in separate rooms that night. The second young master caught a little maid in his new house and was in a phoenix. Without Butcher Zhang, wouldn't he eat Butcher Li? Just eat Butcher Li! He made such a fuss, it would be even worse. Which woman could stand his man holding another woman on the night of his wedding? Miss Zhang was really sad and angry. Her family was all dead. Her newly married husband was such a person. How could she live this life?

Although the bridal chamber was not in and the relationship broke down, the wedding had already been completed. The two had already decided on their identity and could not repent. So the couple quarreled today and tomorrow, and seized every opportunity to quarrel. Until the hour before Zhu Yuanzhang led the servants and maids of the Zhang family back, the two were still quarreling in the backyard.

Now the couple started arguing in the court again, and the eldest young master Ma Zhixiong, who was sitting in the head seat, was immediately angry: "You two will die if you say less? What's the situation now? You are still talking about trivial things."

He slapped heavily on the table and suppressed everyone's voices. The second young master couldn't be tough in front of his brother, so he had to keep silent. The second young grandmother had no reason to offend her uncle, so she quickly kept silent.

Ma Zhixiong said to Qiuye in a deep voice: "Little maid, do you know that all you know? How did my guard and your master die? Have you seen it?"

Qiuye quickly shook her head: "I only know these, I don't know much about anything else."

Ma Zhixiong didn't have time to care about whether a maid had lost her morals. He turned to the other maids and said, "Come on one by one and tell everything you saw that day."

The servants and maids talked about the situation that day in turn. These surviving servants and maids hid from the beginning, so they didn't see much. They pieced together and added up what they saw. They roughly explained the killings and lootings in the front and back yards. However, no one saw the battle in front of the woodshed. They all knew that Fang Guard protected the master and the young master hiding in the woodshed. Later, the sound of "ding Ding Dangdang" weapons fighting came from the woodshed. Then Zheng Yanfu shouted: "I'll kill Zhang Douyao, go, let's go back to the yamen..."

Ma Zhixiong asked for a long time and couldn't get the most important information, so he had to ask Zhu Yuanzhang again: "Zhu Ba, you also entered the Zhang Mansion that day and carried the body of Guard Fang. What did you see?"

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered: "The youngest only saw Guard Fang and Master Zhang. The young master fell to the ground and saw nothing else. At that time, the bandits had retreated."

Ma Zhixiong sighed: "After such a big incident, no one saw the most critical point. Forget it, anyway, things have come to this point, and you can roughly guess what happened that day. Let's just keep in mind what happened later."

He paused and asked again: "How to deal with the funeral of Zhang's family?"
