Marriage of the Di Daughter

On this morning in Tongxiang, there was little snow in the sky.

Snow is a rare thing for winter days in the south, even if it gets cold. There are not many people on the street, walking out of Qingshi Lane and seeing many people in the yard, women are cleaning the snow grains in the yard. The happiest thing to do is count children, snowflakes are natural fun and fresh things.

Daiyun got up early and carefully wiped off the snow grains on the vine in the yard. Her younger daughter, Six years old, was sitting in the hall eating peacefully, rarely able to look at the porridge in the mirror, peacefully eating the jinjinjinjin flavor. From time to time, she looked up out the window and the snowflakes fell off. It was interesting.

Daiyun said in the courtyard: "Peace, close the window, don't let it get cold. ”

Safely answered, climbing up from the stool and closing the window with his feet.

Daiyun looked at the roof, sighed, the weather became colder and colder, the snow melted down the broken roof, the room would be colder, if it fell to safety, it would be troublesome. Gotta get someone to fix the roof... if only there was a man in the house. Daiyun couldn't help but think about it again. In the past, Xue Huaiyuan was still there. She didn't think about it like that, but now she frequently comes up with this idea.

Daiyun is less than 25 years old this year. She was born young and beautiful. She was a widow. Her husband went fishing in the river when he was just two years old in peace. After 10 years of distressed wind and rain, the boat was lifted and people disappeared. Since then, there are only two generations left of Yunping Ann mother and daughter to live on.

It's not always convenient without a man at home. Every time the new county Wang Feng Yutang wants to get an idea on her, Daiyun once or twice can still cope with Zhou Wan. If this goes on, I don't know how long it will last. The neighbors' uncles were also willing to help liners. Because of Feng Yutang's intimidation, they did not dare to interact with her much. They had to suffer so silently.

Daiyun sighed, in any case, she just wanted to grow up healthy. Daiyun walked to the stone table in the yard and sat down with unfinished needles on the table, which she relied on to supplement her household. Safely see her so, come out with the wooden puppy and sit beside Daiyun. The wooden puppy was still made for her by a peaceful father, and Daiyun saw this, and it was even more sour in his heart.

The mothers and daughters were about to begin their day of work, and suddenly they heard someone banging on the courtyard door, "Fidelity”.

“Someone's coming!” Ping An Dao.

Daiyun looked at the courtyard door, his heart tightened, but Feng Yutang came looking for trouble again. Every time Feng Yutang came, it was a nightmare for her. But today's knocking is much milder than the impatience of the past.

Keep your eyes open safely and look at Genesis cloud. Daiyun had to stand up and walk to the courtyard door. He hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

Outside the door was not Feng Yutang, whom she disgusted, but a strange girl.

The girl was only fifteen or six years old, had a raw eyebrow show, was wearing a dark green Su embroidered crescent dress, and was covered in a blue patterned cape. The cape was huge, making her look exceptionally weak and petite, with powerful eyes and a shallow smile on her lips.

Daiyun doesn't know this girl, but he can recognize the clothes she is wearing, at least 100 taels of silver.

She was a little scared, "You are…"

The girl smiled at her: “My name is Kang Li, and I'm here to see you for Xue County Prince's case. ”

Daiyun stunned and quietly followed him, hiding behind the fence in the yard and looking at this strange sister.

Daiyun didn't have time to talk. The girl had walked in. "Come in, it's cold out there. ”

Ginger pear traverse into the courtyard of Daiyun.

The yard is still what it was. If you compare it, it's a lot more worn out than it ever was. It seems that Daiyun's life was not well. When Xue Huaiyuan sent her to deliver silver to Daiyun, Kang Li also came here. At that time, peace was still a little small, and now she is so tall.

Time passes really fast.

Daiyun looked at the girl and felt very hesitant for a moment. The girl named Ginger Pear came into the courtyard without being a stranger. She even sat down at the stone table and looked at the needlework she had done. Sincerely, she praised: "Well done. ”

Daiyun couldn't help but hold on to Ping An and walk to Kang Li. “Kang... Miss Kang, I don't know what you mean. The Xue County Chancellor case... What's the matter? ”

Kang Li glanced up at her and said: "Daiyun, Xue County Jun was jailed for embezzlement and relief to Silver, and will be executed in five days. You don't know who Xue County Chancellor is. I'm going to overturn the case for Xue County. I need witnesses. On behalf of Yun, will you be my witness to clear Xue County's innocent wrongs? ”

Her voice was soft and gentle, but it was like a heavy hammer on Daiyun's heart. The Daiyun had no reason to hold Ping An's hand more tightly, and he pushed out a smile. “We don't know much about the Xue County Emperor, either. We're just the people, what the official government says, is what..."

“How can you not know?” Kang Li looked at peace. She hid behind Daiyun and looked at her curiously. Reaching out her hand, Kang Li couldn't help but take two steps forward and reach out her fat little hand to touch Kang Li's fingertips.

“Peace!” Daiyun stops her excitedly, peace is the root of her life, she will never allow peace to go a little wrong.

Ping An heard her mother's reproach and hurriedly retracted her hand, but still looked at Kang Li with curiosity, not a shred of fear.

“Without the Xue County Chancellor, peace would not have lived to this day, would it?” Kang Li looked at Daiyun, "With this, can't you be a witness and say something for Xue County? ”

Daiyun was struck by lightning.

When the husband died prematurely, Daiyun was beautiful and young. There were not many widows in front of the door. Some people had the idea of Daiyun. It's just that Daiyun and the late husband are deeply emotional and unwilling to remarry. When Ping An was two and a half years old, he had a serious illness. Daiyun had to borrow silver to see Ping An. The illness was good, and it cost him a lot of silver. The debtor had long been coveting the beauty of Daiyun. If Daiyun wanted to be his concubine against silver, and Daiyun refused, the person threatened to take him away peacefully and sell him to Qinglou's mother.

It was Xue Huaiyuan who stood up while Daiyun walked for nothing. Xue Huaiyuan rescued Ping 'an, who had been taken from him, and paid off the money owed on behalf of both their mothers and daughters. At that time, Xue Huaiyuan's daughter came to deliver the silver. At that time, Timyun remembered the look of Miss Xue's face. She lamented how there was such a kind woman in the world. Peace also loved Miss Xue's smile when she saw her.

At this moment, Kang Li suddenly recounted the old things, Daiyun was very panicked, and she did not want her daughter to know safely that she was an ungrateful person. But she can't joke about safety. The people of Tongxiang know who Feng Yutang is, and those who follow him will die. If Feng Yutang knew he was standing up as a witness, Feng Yutang would surely do it peacefully.

She's a mother and can't just watch her child go into danger.

Daiyun looked at Kang Li, and a prayer appeared in her eyes: "Miss Kang, we... we really don't know, find someone else... just think we're sorry Xue County...”

Kang Li didn't say anything, but Daiyun still saw it, and there was a slight disappointment in their eyes. At that moment, I wondered if it was a faint heart. Genesis between trances felt that I saw, not this strange girl Jiang, but that beautiful and kind woman, Miss Xue Jia, her tender smile was no longer, that is, she sat quietly and looked at her disappointed.

Daiyun suddenly felt ashamed to see others.

Kang Li stood up and touched his peaceful head. “In that case, I'll go find someone else.” She spoke to Daiyun: “Excuse me.” Turn around and go outside.

That's it... over? "“ Miss Jiang... ”said Daiyun." When Jiang Li stopped, she didn't know what to say. “Maybe the others in Tongxiang... just like me...” she couldn't go on.

"'I know,' said Kang Li. 'But if you don't, Xue County Chancellor really doesn't have any hope at all. I am glad that Xue County Juan has helped every single household in Tongxiang in the past, 568 people, still sounds promising. It would be really disappointing if he had only helped a few people and those people were just like you.” After a pause, she said, "Feed your peace, you pay such a great price, don't give up. ”

Kangaroo left.

Daiyun lowered his head and held her skirt in peace. With his eyes open, he was innocent and shouted: “Mother. ”

Tears of the generations are like rain.

……

On the other side, Ye Mingyu was knocking on the door of a family.

The family was poor and lived in a haystack house. The whole house was shaken and looked painful because of the snow and the breeze last night. Ye Mingyu has rarely seen such a poor person since childhood in a huge rich house. The power should be rare.

A long time later, someone came to open the door, but an old woman in a candle, wearing a thin cotton coat, just looking, Ye Mingyu felt cold.

The old woman saw Ye Mingyu as if she hadn't seen him. "Anyone? Are you…? ”

The woman is blind and can't see anything.

"- [sic]“ Ma'am, is your son here? I'm here to see your son. ”In the brochure Kang Li wrote to Ye Ming Yu, the family clearly had a talented son.

“Looking for Wen Xuan.” 'He went out to buy tofu,' said the old woman. 'He'll be back soon. What are you looking for? ”

Just as the voice went down, there was a voice outside: "Mom, I'm back! ”

Mo Wenxuan had just returned home and saw a tall man standing in front of his door. When he turned around, he saw that man's face still had a scar. He looked very powerful. Then he was frightened and almost lost his tofu. He asked: "This big brother...”

“Are you Movin Xuan?” Ye Mingyu's picky measurement of Mo Wenxuan. Mo Wenxuan is now almost thirty years old. He is not yet a family. He is not alone or blamed for anything else. His family is so poor. And he's a learner, but now he's a talent. His hair was a little messy, and he had some beards, and he was washing his hair in a white cotton robe. He was a little confused and had to look closer.

"'Yes,' said Mo Wenxuan. ”

“I have something for you.” Ye Mingyu said coarsely: “Let me talk to you for a second.” To convince Mo Wenxuan to be a witness, he naturally cannot be heard by an elderly woman of this age. Just tell Movin Xuan to go outside.

The old woman, though hesitant, did not follow. The family was too poor to have a yard. Ye Mingyu had to talk to Mo Wenxuan on the empty ground behind the house.

"“ Mo Wenxuan, do you know about Xue County's jail sentence? ”

Mo Wenxuan stood still and waved nervously. He looked around and said: "Brother... I can't talk, I can't talk! ”

Ye Mingyu, a scholar who was really scared of things, said, “What are you scared of? Will I die if I mention it? Don't worry, I'm here, keep you alive. ”

Mo Wenxuan probably didn't expect to encounter such an unstoppable Lord. Even though he was afraid to try his best to stop him, Ye Mingyu still did not move. One by one, he was afraid that others would not hear him.

“I said," Son, Xue County Prince is now in jail. He will be sentenced in five days. He is guilty of embezzlement. You don't know who Xue County Prince is, right? Son, we are going to overturn the case for Xue County. We need witnesses. Would you like to come out as a witness, expose Feng Yutang, and help Xue County rehabilitate? ”

Mo Wenxuan was even more frightened by the sieve of bran. “Make it impossible, make it impossible! ”

“What do you have to do?” Ye Mingyu couldn't see such a person the least. He said, "What can't be done? You tell me! I see Xue County Emperor helped you settle your feet in Tongxiang, let you study in Tongxiang, let you test your talent, why didn't you say, if it wasn't for Xue County Emperor, now you don't even have a copper board to buy tofu, what do you take to feed your mother! ”

Mo Wenxuan is not from Tongxiang. Years ago, he came to Tongxiang with his blind mother to run for relatives. Who knew that the distant relative was dead, Mo Wenxuan was penniless and a foreigner. He almost fell into begging for a living. Had it not been for Xue Huaiyuan's accidental encounter with him in the street, he would have been bullied by a group of bullies, reached out for help and learned about him. Knowing that Mo Wenxuan was dedicated to learning, he also let him go to school in his hometown, which is why Mo Wenxuan later took the middle school talent. Although living in poverty today, if it had not been for Xue Huaiyuan's help, Mo Wenxuan would have been starving to death. Where else can I support my mother?

“Everyone says war is so much about killing dogs, so much ambition is about reading people, and I fucking see it today!” Ye Minghua resented the sound: “Xue County Prince, if he knew it was such a white-eyed wolf, he shouldn't have reached out and let you die of bullying by those bullies! ”

Mo Wenxuan listened, blushing, suddenly angry: “Enough, shut up! Don't I want to make amends for Lord Xue? Did I not know that Lord Xue was unjust? Ren Yi Zhongxiao, I read it when I was in school! But Feng Yutang is really not something! Do you know what he did to those who tried to help Lord Xue? He harms other people's parents, wives and children! I'm not much of a good man, but I have nothing to be afraid of, as long as I can help the benefactor! But I still have my mother, who worked so hard to raise me, and now she's blind and can't do anything. I've never made her happy in my life, but I can't put her in danger because of me! ”

Mo Wenxuan finished his breath and his chest fluctuated violently. He probably never argued like this. Even the neck rose red and the blues appeared on the excited forehead.

Ye Mingyu looked at him and the anger dissipated a little, but he still hated that he wasn't angry. “You don't want your mother to take risks because of you, but you want your mother to be ashamed because of you? You don't know how disappointed your mother would be if you did it. You're such a son that she can't lift her head, which is a hundred times lower than any impoverished incompetent! ”

“You!” Mo Wenxuan was stuck in silence.

At this moment, a trembling voice sounded: “Wen Xuan. ”

When they looked back, Mo Wenxuan's mother, the blind old woman, approached her step by step with a cane. She finally couldn't help but hear the argument between Ye Mingyu and the others. It was only then that they heard the argument, all heard by the old woman.

The old woman asked, "Wen Xuan, what this little brother said is true. Is the Xue County Chancellor really in jail? ”

Mo Wenxuanzhiwu, I can't answer, the old woman is blind, can't go out, I don't know that the township of Tong has already undergone a change. Nor did he tell his mother-in-law, because he knew the spleen of the old woman. Once he knew about it, he had to speak for the Chancellor of Xue County.

But he was reluctant to watch his own mother take risks.

“Wen Xuan.” The voice of the old lady got harsher.

“It's true.” Mo Wenxuan replied helplessly: “It's been more than half a year. Lord Xue was imprisoned for embezzlement of silver for disaster relief. He will soon be executed. ”

“Bullshit!” The old woman suddenly stretched out her cane and paused hard, apparently angry, "Xue County Qian was like," the people of Tongxiang knew. Without Xue County Chancellor, there would be no Tongxiang today. Wen Xuan, tell this little brother that you are willing to be this witness, that you can't forget Ben. If we don't stand up, what's the difference between us and the traitors? It's abusive! ”

“But Mother...”

“I know what you're afraid of. I'm old enough to live. I'm not afraid to die! If you are not afraid of death, stand out. If someone wants to harm you, mother will bear it with you. After all these years, our mother and son have come together. What are you afraid of when we die together? The most important thing to be human is to have bone. If you're afraid of dying, find a place to hide. I'll testify with this little brother. I won't bother you! ”

“Mother, what are you saying? Son, how could you risk it all by yourself?” Mo Wenxuan stamped his feet in a hurry and looked at Ye Mingyu. "This big brother, find a place to hide my mother. I'll go out with you to testify. My mother is right, you can't forget Ben. A traitor like Feng Yutang is going to hell sooner or later. So what if I was the one who sent him to hell this time? ”

Ye Mingyu had intended to give up. This scholar, Mo Wenxuan, feared his head and tail, and he was most impatient with the reader. Kang Li may be able to persuade him, but he can't. Even Xue Huaiyuan said that he would help them, but he didn't do anything about it, which is really impossible. Who knew that at the last minute, the spin of the Peak Circuit, Mo Wenxuan's parents jumped out and changed Mo Wenxuan's mind.

Ye Mingyu looked at the mother and son and suddenly had a slight sentiment. He was old and powerful. He was young and bold, and he couldn't help himself. But many people have families, they have bonds, and courage is not as simple as that. No wonder Ginger Pear said that the last step was the hardest, because people were unpredictable and there were many shackles.

But finally, there's someone willing to come forward, isn't there?

Five hundred and sixty-eight households, one of them stood up, there will certainly be a second household, a third one... both evil and good in humanity.

Ye Mingxuan patted Mo Wenxuan's shoulder and said coarsely and coarsely: “Son, don't look like a heroic sacrifice. Feng Yutang is a paper tiger, it's not worth mentioning. Besides, his good days in Tongxiang will soon be over. Nobody's gonna do anything to you, nobody's gonna do anything to your mother. Everyone will be fine. All that matters is Feng Yutang. ”

Mo Wenxuan arched his hand: “I'm counting on you. ”

“You're welcome!” Ye Mingyu: “Then I won't stay much longer. I have to find the next family. ”

“Next house?” The old lady asked strangely.

“There are 568 families in Tongxiang, all of whom have benefited from Xue County. I want to complete the search for more than 500 families, one family to search for witnesses.” Ye Mingyu is very proud.

“You're such a good man.” Mo Wenxuan exclaimed: “Have you ever been gracious to Lord Xue for helping him with all your heart? Lord Xue must be very pleased with someone like you who knows the reward of grace. I thank you for Lord Xue. ”

“Hey, don't be ridiculous. I've never been gracious to the Xue County Chancellor.” 'It was my niece,' said Ye Mingyu, 'who made a mistake with Lord Xue's family. She only came to Tongxiang this time to help. If you want to thank her, her name is Kang Li. She is the daughter of Kang Yuanbai, the first auxiliary, and you will see that in the future, she is a wonderful and rare girl. ”

Ye Mingyu thought that this was the first family, so he found someone willing to stand up. Kang Li would be glad to know about this.

For herself, and for that poor Xue County prince in prison.

……

Feng Yutang is anxiously awaiting a reply.

He had to take Kang Li's life within five days. He did not know what Kang Li was doing. Without mentioning the Xue family case, Princess Yongning knew that he had broken things and would not let him go.

Besides, the people sent out, the twenty bodies in the county backyard, really put Feng Yutang in a difficult position. Kang Li is such a difficult enemy, who knows what she will do against herself, her own people and horses have lost the twenty most elite, will she become one of the twenty corpses next?

Feng Yutang can't even think about it. The only thing that can stop him from being afraid is to let someone kill Kang Li now and immediately. Later in the trouble, at least now, he must remove the danger that makes him feel uncomfortable.

But the men and horses he sent out early this morning, like the 23 sent out last night, have yet to be heard from. Feng Yutang waited from morning to noon, then from noon to afternoon. In the evening, Xiaoyu gradually stopped, and the outsiders were very calm with no wind or snow.

Calm and restless.

There was no sound, not only that, but they weren't found anywhere, as if they had suddenly disappeared in a few moments, and nobody had found their tracks, or even doubted whether they really existed.

“My lord...” The doorman's ass rolled in, and the voice was terrified, "My lord, they... they found it! ”

“Found it!” Feng Yutang struck his heart and stood up. He didn't even expect to hear the news of Kang Li's death now, as long as those people were still alive. And he said, "Where is it? ”

“in the backyard.” The paperman said in confusion.

Feng Yutang's heart slowly subsided. His footsteps slipped and he could barely stand still. He tried to cheer up. "Go check it out...”

But you can see the face of the page, and you know the backyard is not good. But Feng Yutang didn't ask, as if he only saw it himself and would die.

Twenty bodies found earlier this morning, covered in white cloth by his men, tucked in the corner of the backyard, do not know how to dispose of them. Now that Snow has stopped, the backyard, which had been vacated, has an extra row of lifeless bodies.

Feng Yutang closed his eyes.

Such means, such provocations, he was overwhelmed. Kang Li clearly has only seven people, how can he cut the food like a melon, fold his men and horses again and again. Are they all the best guards in the world?

But how did they quietly return the bodies to the county backyard? Feng Yutang knew that since they could send the bodies back to the county in ignorance, it meant that they could take their lives silently at any time.

But why didn't they assassinate themselves?

Feng Yutang doesn't understand. He asked, "Isn't there a dumb woman in the yard? Let her out. Ask her when she saw someone suspicious. If you can't talk, you can do it! ”

If the mute were in the yard, they might be able to see exactly how they got in.

The page was stunned, as if to think of someone like this. "Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen a mute in a few days? ”

“Wasn't Mo dead?” Feng Yutang frowned. The old woman lived long enough. Every time she saw her, she felt that the next second she would break her breath. They never paid attention to dummies, so nobody noticed their disappearance, so they discovered it, and they wouldn't worry about it. Probably died in his own house.

“Since these people couldn't kill Kangaroo, Kangaroo is still alive.” Feng Yutang suddenly asked: “Where is Kang Li now and what is he doing? ”

The two hands face each other, and they all look unspeakable.

Feng Yutang looked at him and was angry. "Say it! ”

“In the early morning, Miss Jiang and Miss Jiang Er split the two roads with Master Ye's soldiers, followed the east of the county to the west, knocked on the people's doors, did not know what they had said to the people inside, came out soon, searched for a second house, so when to come to the house. ”

“I heard, however, that they had mentioned Xue Huaiyuan's name and should have mentioned the case of the Xue family. ”
