Marriage of the Di Daughter
Chapter 108 Tyranny
Kang Li has never seen such a Xue family.
When Xue Huaiyuan became a county princess, he did not have much salary. Unlike the previous county princesses, he renovated the mansion as tall and large as all ordinary people. This three-way yard, or the owner of the yard, had to travel far, rushed to deal with it, and sold it cheaply to Xue Huaiyuan.
Although the yard is dilapidated and tidy, it is also a home. Xue Zhao and Xue Fangfei were in this yard, growing up from naive children to teenage girls.
In her memory, the Xue family's home was always full of smoke and vitality. The worthless flowers planted on the doorstep also add a lot of color to the house.
However, the Xue family in front of them, the doorstep was broken, the seal of the official government seemed particularly dazzling, even the seal had a lot of dust on it, it was clear that no one had been here for a long time.
Have a nice home and say goodbye.
Ye Mingyu suddenly burst into tears when he saw Kang Li. He was shocked and asked: "Pear, what's wrong with you? ”
Kang Li looked back and smiled. “There's too much dust here, and the sand squeezed my eyes.” She touched the pad and wiped her eyes and said, “Just wipe it. ”
Ye Mingyu doubtless had him. In his view, Kang Li was the first person to come to Tongxiang. This strange residential compound could not make Kang Li shed tears. "Whose house is this?" he said. Why is it sealed by the government? ”
“The Xue family.” Kangaroo.
Ye Mingyu was greatly surprised: “How do you know? ”
Kang Li pointed at the seal: “It says here. Uncle Ming Yu, you just said that the county prince's home is dedicated to the people. ”
Both Snow and Tong were very confused. Ye Mingyu was even more shocked to say anything. Half a dozen people said: “What county? How did Xue County Chancellor's house get sealed off? Wrong? This... what's going on?” He hasn't even been in Xiangyang for years, let alone Tongxiang. Moreover, the matter of Xue Huaiyuan was not far away. Even Jongzhi could not find out until he heard it. Ye Mingyu was even more unlikely to know.
Kang Li smiled and spoke a little chilly: “There are winds and clouds, everyone is in danger and blessed. Xue County Chancellor didn't know what was going on, even the family was copied. ”
Ye Mingyu felt that Kang Li said something strange, but didn't know where the blame was. While several people were silent, they could not hear a "squeak” from far away. Next door to the Xue family's small courtyard, someone pushed the door out.
It was a woman with a flower cloth towel on her head, skin slightly black, blue cloth skirt, a bamboo basket hanging from her elbows, coming out of the yard. She didn't expect the already sealed Xue family door to suddenly stand in such a group of people and look very strange. I didn't dare to go forward, I just stood there and looked at them with some uncertainty.
Ye Mingyu was helpless: “OK, is this treating us like bad guys? ”
When Kang Li saw the woman, a familiar feeling in her heart suddenly grew.
The woman in the blue dress is Aunt Chun Fang from next door. Watching her and Xue Zhao grow up since childhood was not seen for many years. Kang Li couldn't help but take a few steps forward and go towards Aunt Chunfang.
Ye Mingyu whispered to her in the back: "Hey, Pear, what are you doing? ”
Kang Li walked to Chunfang.
Chunfang looked at the ginger pear and held his hand with some hesitation. These people are not from Tongxiang at first glance, but the young lady in front of them, at first glance, is the girl from the large family. The appearance is unchallenged and the smile is soft. Where do they come from such a noble woman? No, it also came out. At the time, the Xue family Fanfei was not a recognized beauty in Tongxiang. Unfortunately, she married Yan Jingcheng. But fortunately, I married Yanjing. Otherwise, if I stayed in Tongxiang, I would still be implicated...
Chun Fang was thinking absurdly. The young lady in front of her looked at her and said gently: “This aunt dared to ask about this sealed compound, but the house of the county Xue Huaiyuan? ”
Chun Fang was shocked and measured Kang Li. “Exactly. Do you know Xue's family? ”
“No.” Kang Li shook his head, "I was just curious. Why is this Xue County Prince's house sealed up? ”
”Chun Fang shook his head. 'No... I don't know...
“He's a magistrate. He's your county princess. The house of a good official is sealed. There must be a reason why Auntie doesn't know? ”
Perhaps Kangaroo's eyes are too cool, or her tone is very compelling, Chunfang didn't even realize to take a step back. She said something incessant, “No, I don't know, I don't know... ask someone else. ”
"'Don't you know, Aunt?" said Kang Li. ”
Chunfang looked up at Kang Li and mustered courage: “Why are you asking about Lord Xue? Who are you?”
Kang Li asked so badly, no one would believe that she was just curious to ask about it. But Chunfang avoided talking so much, but wanted to make amends. "'It doesn't matter who I am,' said Kang Li. 'The important thing is that I want to know about the Xue family. Would Aunt Xue like to talk about it? ”
Chunfang Ginger Pear knows each other, has been a neighbor for so many years, is a kind and enthusiastic person. Kang Li believes that if he wasn't too scared, Chunfang would never have watched his father fall prey. The same is true of the people of Tongxiang, but we do not know what the threat is, so that these people do not dare to stand up.
At this time, the door of Chunfang's yard opened again. Chunfang's man's voice came from afar: “Fang, why don't you go? ”
“I'm going to sell embroidery.” Chunfang pushed Kang Li away all of a sudden, as if he had found an excuse to rush away. But halfway there, he hesitated for a moment and turned back. “This young lady, look at your arrival, I also warn you. In front of the outsiders, don't mention the Xue family, save yourself trouble. You guys... don't waver too much.” Say it, wearing a bamboo basket, never look at Kang Li again, as if something terrible was chasing her, quickly disappeared.
Ye Mingyu walked forward and stood next to Kang Li, who looked at Chunfang's dorky back and complained: “Really, Pear sounds so good, how can he look like a ghost and be scared to death?” Looking at Kang Li again, "what did I just hear you say about the Xue family, what do you mean? Pear, what are you doing? ”
Jiang Li came to Qingshi Lane for no reason, stayed in front of the sealed Xue family for so long, and also asked strange women about the Xue family. Ye Mingyu could also see that it was not by accident or a temporary rise. The purpose of Jiang Li's trip was related to the Xue family.
“Uncle Ming Yu,” Kang Li said, looking directly into Ye Ming Yu's eyes, which made Ye Ming Yu clearly see the steadfastness of her eyes. "This is why I came to Tongxiang, uncle, I want to make peace for Xue family. ”
Ye Mingyu stayed, and Kiryl and Snow stayed.
Anyway, Kang Li is the gold of Yanjing Shoufu. Xue Huaiyuan is just a county prince in Tongxiang. The two have never crossed. Kang Li suddenly said that he didn't even know how to answer.
After a while, Ye Mingyu recovered his voice, and he said: "You... what are you talking about? ”
“I can't tell you why I'm doing this," Kang Li exclaimed. “It's a long story, and it's not three words or two. But Xue Jia Xue County Chancellor, indeed, was wrongfully imprisoned. I was entrusted with the task of thoroughly investigating the matter and returning Xue County Chancellor to innocence. ”
“But how do you know Xue County Chancellor is innocent? You little girl, how can you find out? How can you help him? Pear, this can't be happening! ”
“Uncle Ming Yu,” Kang Li's voice was very calm, as if the matter had been carefully decided after her deliberation. "Xue County Princess is innocent," she said, "I can see from the investigation. I am a little girl, but I am also the daughter of a first cousin, not without rights. Do it knowingly, not for temper, but for fairness.” 'It's not fair,' said Kang Li. 'There's no distinction between black and white in this world. It's really not fair. Besides, whoever I'm going to help is kind to me, you have the right to take it as a reward. People in Jianghu are not talking about vengeance or grievances. I know that this matter is important and I am not willing to involve you. If my uncle feels that it is not right, I can withdraw now. I am enough. ”
This was supposed to sound a little negative, and Kang Li said it was stable. Ye Mingyu stared at Kang Li's eyes. He knew that his niece had always been very creative, but only at this moment did he realize that Kang Li was always determined to walk step by step. She was not unanticipated about the possible troubles and terrible consequences, but nothing could shake her resolve to take every step.
Not to mention his uncle. In a sense, having an uncle like him, without his uncle, doesn't keep Kang Li from doing his own thing.
Think about it, Kang Li, a little girl understands the logic of "do what you know you can't do”. He still complains of heroic mastery all day long. Even a little girl can't compare. He fears the tail of his neck, and when he climbs up, he creates a courage to be alone. He says: "Go up the sword mountain and go down the fire, I will serve him all the way!” He patted Kangaroo on the head, loving, "Sleep. Am I your uncle? ”
Kang Li: “…”
“So, Uncle,” said Kang Li. "When we settle down, there's one thing we need your help with. ”
“Say it!" Ye Mingyu replied softly.
“We also ask these guards, uncle's people to find a way in the most lively place in Tongxiang, the tea house of the tavern is fine, and the louder they ask about the Xue family being sealed, the better to attract attention, the better to be heard by everyone. ”
“Girl?” Kiryl whispered, "Didn't the aunt just say," Don't bring trouble in front of the Xue family? "How did you... how did you survive to let people know? ”
"'Cause I'm going to crack the snake,' said Kang Li. ”
Ye Mingyu was confused.
“If I can't find the snake, let the snake come to me.” She smiled.
Yongning's people let Xue Huaiyuan be falsely accused and sent Xue Huaiyuan to prison. But the people clearly saw what Xue Huaiyuan had been all these years. No one understood better than the people of Tongxiang. In order to prevent people from talking nonsense, people are unstable and simply use some means to prevent people from talking about it.
It is conceivable that when such a group of people suddenly listen to Xue Huaiyuan, it will naturally attract the attention of the other party. Soon they will come to the door.
She's too lazy to go and ask each other who they are, just sit here and wait for someone else to throw themselves into the net.
And she, one by one, had a share, no hurry.
……
The peaceful life of the people of Tongxiang was completely broken in one afternoon.
In the afternoon, a group of foreigners came from somewhere, wandering around the teahouse and even on the street, and what they said, what they did, was to ask pedestrians everywhere about the sealed house of Xue County.
Kang Li and Ye Ming Yi are sitting inside the tavern, one of the liveliest in Tongxiang. In the past, but what's new in Fantong Township, people always like to talk about it in this tavern. Xue Zhao likes to bring her to eavesdrop and sometimes hears a lot of interesting things.
But today is a very different day.
The people were also excited to measure their faces as if they were from outside. When Ye Mingyu's escorts asked about the Xue family, these people's faces suddenly appeared frightened and fled, as if they were hiding from something. Or shut up and shake your head desperately.
After spending so many years in Tongxiang, we know that the people of Tongxiang are still very welcoming. Ye Mingyu's men and women apparently frightened these people, and no one dared approach them. Even they were like plagues, but in just half an afternoon, the people on the street saw them walking around, or they were whispering something.
When they sit in this tavern, none of the guests in the tavern are there.
The same thing happened to the master cabinet. They came to see Kang Li. They wanted to close the store, and they were afraid to mess with the knife between Ye Ming Yiu's waist. Why don't they just hand it over to Xiao Er and go on their own. That second kid was even more funny. He was wary and fearful with tea. Ye Minghui wanted him to bring some melon fruit to moisten Kang Li's throat. He just opened his mouth. That second kid was like afraid to spit some terrible words out of Ye Minghui's mouth, and he ran away.
“Hey, I'm surprised.” Ye Mingyu is so angry and funny. “What did we do? These people are like cats to rats. Can you run faster? I didn't see anyone so scared when I was walking around the river and lake with a mustache? ”
Kang Li smiled slightly: "Because you mentioned the word 'Xue’. ”
“The word 'Xue’ is not a taboo word. Why can't you even mention it?” Ye Mingyu was full of anger as soon as he spoke, "Ari, I think you're right. This Kiryu country is weird, and these people are also weird. Then Xue Huaiyuan, if nothing really happened, why make it so mysterious? It's like trying to make up for it! I think Xue Huaiyuan was framed. Who the fuck counts the Xue family behind this? ”
As soon as that was done, there was a "dawn" downstairs, like the sound of a little fellow accidentally dropping off the floor without holding a stabilizer plate. Kang Li glanced down, and the little fellow sat by the tavern door as if trying to stay away from Kang Li.
“The road is for the eye.” Kangaroo.
“What?” Ye Mingyu wondered.
Kang Li slowly said: “Thirty-four years, Wang Yiyan, the people dare not speak, the road is eye-catching. ”
“Historically, a monarch ruled abusively and was instigated by petitioners to change the dynasty, to transfer many industries on which civilians depend for their livelihoods, to the royal family, and for a time, the people's livelihoods were suffering. Not only did the king not heed the advice, but he also sent many wizards to travel the streets and alleys in the capital river, eavesdropping on people's conversations. Whoever they accuse of rebellion or slander will be executed in prison. In this way, the raising and lowering of the country no longer dares to judge the affairs, that is, to meet each other, not to mess with each other, but to look at the road. ”
Ye Mingyu said: "Are you saying that people are being watched here in Tongxiang, eavesdropping on people's conversations, and when they find out that someone is talking about the Xue family, they order the execution. That's why the people ‘talk about Xue Xue Chang’ and see us as the floodbeasts? ”
"'Exactly,' said Kang Li. ”
“This is too...” Ye Mingyu said: “This is too arrogant! Who in Tongxiang dares to call himself King? It is Xiangyang's Zhizhi Yang, who still cares about the people's mouth, who dares to be so bold, who gives them so much power? ”
Kang Li smiled in his heart, and those who did these things naturally had the audacity, because the backrest was now king's own sister Yongning. The situation is volatile. It is not known whether Hongxiaodi will be able to hold this position in the future. With Yongning, the future will be glorious and rich. It's not about the future, it's just about the present, and people who love Yongning are never lacking.
They naturally have no fear and naturally dare to “see the road” in Tongxiang.
“Ah, I see!” Ye Mingyu suddenly slapped the table, "No wonder Pear wanted us to talk about the Xue family with such a big banner. If those people were to eavesdrop on people's conversations, they would surely know and come to us on their own! ”
“Yes,” said Kang Li. “It also saves a lot of time. ”
Ye Mingyu could not help but ask: “But, Pear, aren't you afraid? ”
“I'm not afraid," Kang Li whispered. “Better than conscience, I'm not afraid of shadows. Better than power, my father is the head of the literary people. I'm not afraid of anything. The only thing I'm afraid of is that he's not coming. But it was okay,” Ginger pear's mouth curled, and for a moment Ye Mingyu just thought her smile was a little ridiculous, "they came. ”
Ye Mingyu looked downstairs.
Meet outside the tavern and suddenly a crowd of horseback riding officers arrived. That little sophomore almost fell off the chair, shaking like a sieve. The leading officer and soldier drank: "Where is the Xue family? ”
“I'm here!” Ye Minghui slammed the cup onto the table and stood up. He was tall and a bit of a rainbow, treading downstairs.
Kang Li lowered her cup and walked down with Ye Mingyu. Kiryl and Snow are a little worried. They also tend to follow Ginger Pear, only afraid of losing Ginger Pear.
Ye Mingyu sent his men and horses back to the tavern at this moment, surrounded by officers and soldiers. As this sword swept out, Ye Mingyu did not panic and stepped down the wooden staircase of the tavern. The sound of stepping on the staircase “creaked" sounded, but it became more and more footy.
He was tall, had a knife between his waist, had a scar on his face, and had a lot of nerve, which was quite a bluff for a while. Behind him, the young girl stepped down and smiled softly, sober and clear.
Hero beauty, the scene is unusually harmonious, but the leading officer and soldier felt that although the beauty smiled, it was more killer and colder than the hero.
About your own delusion.
He made up his mind and asked the chief of the army, "What do you want to hear about the sinner Xue Huaiyuan? ”
When a hat is buttoned up, it is like Kang Li and they are accomplices in the crime, just convict them and they can be arrested together.
Ye Mingyu didn't even think about it. He said: "Bored, if you want to ask, ask. What's wrong? You people still chat in Tongxiang? It's wide enough. Do they eat or drink lassard? ”
The officer and soldier were furious. It should have been unexpected that Ye Mingyu was also a prick. Immediately, he had to draw a sword between his waist and point directly at Ye Mingyu. Ye Mingyu's eyes glanced at him and pulled out a long knife between his waists, revealing each other's viciousness.
Whoever runs through the rivers and lakes is not counting on merciful hands, gentle and kind, and who is not a harsh character.
These officers and soldiers all pulled the knife, Ye Mingyu's men all pulled the knife, two opposing each other, scared Xiao Er to hide under the table.
In the sword draw crossbow, the beauty smiled softly, Kang Li walked to the front, she reached out a finger, pointed the head of the officer and soldier at the tip of Ye Mingyu's sword gently, gently pulled aside.
Instead of appearing fragile, the shallot tip is soft and white and mounted on the tip of a cold, silver-light sword, with a clear chill. Her smile was quite different from the warmth of the tip of the sword. She was not afraid of the officers and soldiers at all. “Uncle, stop joking. This poor man, we are not looking for Sin Shen Xue Huaiyuan.” She bite the word "Sin Shen” very hard. She paused and said: “What we are looking for is your lord. ”
“Our lord?” Officer and soldier frowned, "what do you mean? ”
“It's very simple," said Kang Li. “I don't know where you grownups are or how to invite him. I don't even know how to let him know we're here. I heard that if you talk about the Xue family here, your adults will show up, so I said," It's amazing, you're coming. "”
She laughed cutely, and the sarcasm in her words caught these officers and soldiers in a panic. If the face is red for a while, but you can't refute Kang Li, if you refute it, there is 300 taels of silver here, it is really boring.
“Cut the crap!” The leading officer and soldier were a little upset and angry: "What do you want us to do? What's the idea? ”
“In fact, if I don't come to you, when you know that I am in Tongxiang, you will definitely come to me.” Kang Li was distracted: “But our trip was so tight that we were in such a hurry to see him. ”
Ye Mingyu was impatient: “Pear, why are you telling them so much? Show us the way. Let's meet Lord Roush! ”
This is about the first time the leader of the officer or soldier has met someone who doesn't take them seriously, and he sneered, “If you want to see us, you see us. Who do you think you are? The arrogance, I do not know what relationship you have with the sinner Xue Huaiyuan.” He waved: “Take them all away! ”
Kang Li asked back with a smile: "Are you sure you want to do this? ”
The officer and soldier looked at her with disdain and was about to say something. He suddenly saw a jade eardrop next to Kang Pear's earlobe and suddenly stopped.
The emerald earrings are green and lush. They are worth a lot at first glance. He remembers that adults' favorite concubine today has a bracelet that is less colorful than this, and that bracelet alone, or was bought for a large price by adults.
The girl, who is about fifteen or six years old, is very sophisticated in her clothes, especially in her eyebrows, but has a kind of luxury raised by the parents of a large family. He walked down the street in Tongxiang and was also very eye-catching. She was surrounded by a tall man she called "Uncle”, clearly a coarse man, with a long knife in his hand and a ruby with pigeon eggs on the handle.
This pedestrian status is unusual, at least not ordinary. The officers and soldiers beat a sudden in their hearts and looked at Kang Li again, there was no bottom.
But in the presence of so many people, especially their own subordinates, it seemed too soft and disgraceful. Fly quickly measured it in your heart, the officer and soldier leader still intend to play some more harsh words. But before I could say it, I saw the girl in front of me looking at her fingertips and said quite casually: “If I were you, I would lead the way while I was talking right now, otherwise...” She raised her head and smiled at the other party, “It must not be us. ”
The distinction was clearly a gentle and harmless appearance, but at that moment the leading officer and soldier did see the malice of the girl's smile. He had a hunch that if he really didn't do what Kang Li said, he would most likely end up as the result of what she said.
He doesn't want bad luck.
He went up and down to gauge Kang Li's pedestrian eyes, with his face on his face, and said, "Take them to your lord!” I probably felt like I had no light on my face and quickly walked to the front of the team, reluctant to look at Kang Li again.
Perhaps it feels like watching or not taking the upper hand. Anyway, momentum made it difficult for him to shake this weak girl.
Ye Mingyu gave Kang Pear a look and whispered: “Yes, Pear, you look like a mountain of Thailand collapsed in front of you without a change of colour. It's very nice to have your uncle and I back then! ”
Kiryl patted her breasts: "Girl, you can scare the slaves to death. Those officers and soldiers are so fierce... you still dare to stand up to them. ”
Kang Li smiled slightly: “It's just a paper tiger.” She followed Xue Huaiyuan as a child. The officers and soldiers saw a lot. Those uncles or brothers who took off their official uniforms, the most ordinary people, would buy her sugar and eat, and would touch her head to fight the bullies who bullied her.
Kang Li would have been the most familiar person to wear official clothes.
But these officers and soldiers who are here today, they are not the uncles and brothers she is familiar with, each face is very strange. There is no doubt that Xue Huaiyuan's men and horses were all washed and replaced. The rest are now obeyed by this “adult”.
She would like to see how sacred it is to dare to dominate Wang in Tongxiang and make a tyrant with “eyes on the road”. Eye on eye is to make Yongning a watchdog “adult”.
