Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 118: Mercy

Since Feng Yutang took office in Tongxiang, no one has dared to mention the word "Xue County Prince” in the street. Don't say it was outside, that is, at home. The word "Xue County Prince” is also like a common taboo. No one has dared to mention the name.

Over time, it seems that someone has forgotten what the words Xue County Cheng mean. That means a glimmer of dawn when there is no way out, the only hope of encountering injustice, justice and conscience.

But it didn't seem like everyone had forgotten, like a buried humiliating spark, just one day someone would come with Mars and burn it just a little bit.

Today, the words “Xue County Prince” quietly rang everywhere in Tongxiang, spreading like a spring breeze night grass, some people were stupidly moving, others were confused.

At night, in a room in Green Stone Lane, the lights lit up.

The lights are faint, the people in a room, or sitting or standing, all disheartened.

Ye Mingyu sat on the short stool, punching at the table, angry: “This is so hard! ”

He and Kang Li, and six of his brothers, divided into several roads in the morning, one by one to find the people of Tongxiang. More than 500 households, from morning to night, ask dozens of households. In fact, dozens of households are not small, but those willing to stand up to testify for Xue Huaiyuan are also the only poor show Mo Wenxuan. It was Mo Wenxuan's blind mother who heard it. She criticized Mo Wenxuan severely. Mo Wenxuan only came out in the same sad mood.

Ye Mingyu didn't know what to say. To blame these people for their ungrateful deeds? Others just want to protect their families, and instead of blaming the people, it's better to scold Feng Yutang for doing it. But aren't these people really responsible? If they resisted a little, perhaps Xue County Prince would have been imprisoned and would not have looked so miserable.

There is always a lot of helplessness in the world.

“It's all right, uncle.” Ginger pear smiles, "not all harvested, at least one, isn't it? As long as there is one person today, and one day tomorrow, so on, after five days, we can have a total of five. That's a lot. ”

One of the guards mumbled: “Five hundred and sixty-eight people, only five of them stood up, which is too sour. ”

Kang Li still smiled, but Ye Mingyu felt that his niece looked a little sad for a moment. It is as if from these people in Tongxiang, people's hearts have glimpsed the unexpected. Ye Mingyu also felt sad. He quickly looked back. He smoked his mouth in the dark. He wanted to comfort Kang Li for a few words. He was also dumb and did not know how to comfort him. It would be nice if the handsome grandfather was here last night. Perhaps Ginger Pear would forget the troubles in front of her for a while.

But Ji Xiao is not here.

Ye Mingyu had to pull his head off clumsily: “Speaking of which, several times today, I felt someone following us. Looks like there's still killing. I was waiting for a big war. After a while, it didn't feel like it anymore. It's weird. ”

“Me too. Me too!” The guards in the house were chattering, "I felt the same way today, thinking I was thinking too much. ”

“Why does everyone feel this way?" ”

“I think it was a bandit from Tongxiang, who was supposed to rob us to blackmail us, and I saw my brothers' strong martial arts, and my heart was frightened, so I retreated. ”

“That's what I think it is! ”

“Go," Ye Mingyu waved. "You know nothing, don't climb all the credit to yourself, who will rob your way? Do you guys look rich? Robbing me is robbing me. Besides, can there be a hijacking in Tongxiang? Tongxiang is so poor, if there was a hijacking, he would be starving! ”

Ye Mingyu turned his head and asked Kang Li: "Pear, is this a favor of Grandpa Raushiko? ”

Ye Mingyu didn't know Ji's name. He thought that "Grandpa” was an official. He called Ji Xi “Grandpa" in silence. Kang Li couldn't help but laugh. "Most of the time, yes. ”

Feng Yutang's men and horses lost so much overnight, but he didn't say a word and didn't move at all. Naturally, it was Ki's pen. Today they openly raised the case of Xue Huaiyuan in Tongxiang, and Feng Yutang's people did not come to stop it, which is naturally impossible. The only possibility is that Feng Yutang did send someone to stop him, but was stopped by Ji Yutang's people.

One thing at a time, at least in this case, Ji Xiao helped her save her a lot of trouble, and she should be thankful. Kang Li unimaginably thought that if someone allied with Ji Li, it would be the most affordable business in the world. Because Ji Qiu will maximize the unnecessary obstacles for his allies, “idle people, etc.," a lot of things will multiply.

Ye Mingyu snorted and didn't squeak at once. Though he looked too big, he knew at least to protect Kang Li's integrity. You can't be a nephew and son-in-law, and you can be a friend.

“Uncle Ming Yu, get some rest.” "You're tired today," said Kang Li. “You're going to have to feed your energy in the evening and continue it in the morning. ”

Ye Mingyu nodded. Today they went to recruit people. They said that their mouths were dry and their tongues were dry. Running far away, and their backaches were also sore. It was time to take a bath and rest. If you have no objection to ginger pear, take your men to rest first.

Ginger pear sat back at the table.

Kiryl and Snow White thought she was going to rest too. “Why doesn't the girl sleep? ”

“I also have to write a brochure, which I will distribute to my uncles tomorrow, and sleep after that.” Kang Li pressed his forehead and said: “Snow, bring me some hot tea. ”

……

The snow is clear and the next day is wonderful.

Early in the morning, Kang Li and Ye Mingyu split their ways and went to each other's homes.

She is not afraid of Feng Yutang's killers behind her back today, anyway, she will solve it for her. She felt comfortable exposing her back to Ji Xiao.

Yesterday's trip, she visited the most people, Ye Mingyu did not visit many people, just because she knew the road of Tongxiang, and knew where each family lived, saving a lot of time. In the early morning from the entrance of Qingshi Lane, I also saw Aunt Chun Fang, whom I met the first day in Tongxiang, wore her basket, stood in the yard, watched Kang Li walk away carefully, clasped her lips, seemed to want to say something, but did not say it.

Kang Li didn't even look at her. She had too little time to take care of everyone. The fate between people depends on fate. Some things have worked hard on their own. If they fail to do so, they will be killed and will not be dissatisfied.

Yesterday, the whole day, starting with the first family on behalf of Yun, to the last family, at least on this side of Kang Li, did not convince the family, saying that not disappointment is false, but it has to continue today. Whatever the outcome, she has to accept it.

In the distance, the door is already visible.

Kang Li came to the house, hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked on the door.

The husband of this family, is a butcher, they call him Zhang Butcher, the fierce demon of the birth, very scary, ordinary children are looked at by him, will cry. Kang Li only remembered Xue Zhao's fear of the butcher when he was a child. He always found the butcher's knife very scary. But as Xue Fanfei's girlfriend, I only remember that whenever she passed through the butcher shop, the man pulled the corner of his mouth stiff and seemed to want to give her a soft smile, but it looked very unwieldy.

Knock on the door three times, someone comes to open the door.

The door was opened by the butcher Zhang.

Years later, the butcher Zhang still looked the same, nothing changed. On a cold winter day, a thin, chunky coat was worn and the sleeves of the top of the hand were lifted, roughly to facilitate the chopping of meat. He was tall and fat, full of flesh, and had some smell of flesh and stickiness from killing pigs all the time. He was also about to get up early to go to the butcher shop with a bucket in his hand and a white cloth covered in it. Kang Li knew that the white cloth was fresh pork.

The butcher Zhang also had a knife on top of this barrel. The knife is extremely long and sharp. I don't know if it's because I've seen too much blood. It makes people feel cold even if I see it.

Kangaroo's eyes fell on the knife.

Zhang Butcher looked down at Kang Li and put a drop of the barrel “bang” in his hand beside his foot. "Who are you looking for?" ”

“I'm looking for you.” Kang Li, take your eyes back: “My name is Kang Li. ”

"“ I know you, yesterday was you, "said Zhang Butcher." Since the beginning of the east of the city, I've been asking you about Xue County Prince. I want someone to stand up and testify to Lord Xue! ”

Zhang Butcher's voice was very coarse, even more fierce than Ye Mingyu's. When he spoke to Kang Li, he had no expression on his face, and the meat on his face shivered a few times.

“Yes.” Kang Li looked at him calmly: “Whether Xue County Qian was a good official or not, would he corrupt the relief of Silver Two, the people of Tongxiang would not know. I'd like to ask this uncle if he'd like to come forward as a witness to redress this innocent county's grievance. ”

The butcher Zhang fixed his eyes on the ginger pear.

In fact, his eyes were small, almost a stitch, making it difficult to see his face clearly. The butcher Zhang is alone again and has no wife, because he is too ugly and vicious and nobody dares to get close. Looking at Ginger Pear so high, it's like the next moment you have to lift a slaughter knife against Ginger Pear.

But the next moment, he suddenly laughed out loud.

Kang Li had never seen a butcher smile like that. She had seen herself barely trying to squeeze out a friendly smile. She smiled shyly at a beautiful girl on the street. She had seen him smile when he chopped her bones with a knife, but she had never seen him laugh so smoothly. It was as if the wish had been fulfilled and the happy laughter of what the heart wanted to accomplish.

He said, "Little girl, I was waiting for you in the house in the morning. I thought you weren't coming. Finally, I'm waiting for you. I'll stand up! Follow you to help Lord Xue solve the case! ”

This time, it's Kangaroo's turn.

In Zhang's laughter, thinking about it, Kang Li asked: "Why would you want to? ”

“Why would you want to?” Zhang Butcher looked at her as if she had said some funny questions, "You should ask me why I didn't want to? Lord Xue is like reborn parents to me. Someone framed me back then, saying that my pork ate people, saying that I was a murderer, that I had been wrongfully imprisoned, and that I had suffered in prison. If it weren't for Lord Xue's insight into Autumn Millet, he would have retried my case, and returned my innocence, there would have been no me today!” He slipped the knife, "Hey, I'm a butcher of pigs, but I'm not an ungrateful white-eyed wolf! ”

Kang Li knew about this. When Xue Huaiyuan first took office, his predecessor received money. In that case, the son of a rich man committed a crime, but sent silver to his predecessor, the county chief, to find a replacement. It's not the butcher Zhang who poisoned people, but Zhang butcher's meat ate them. The butcher Zhang became a scapegoat, and the county collector took the money, regardless of a butcher's innocence. Together with the ferocity of Zhang's butcher, no one doubted it for a while.

After Xue Huaiyuan took office, he saw the suspicion in this case. He tried to offend the powerful family in Tongxiang, but also turned the case over to Zhang Butcher. Fortunately, the final evidence proved that Zhang Butcher was innocent and saved Zhang Butcher. Thereafter, the butcher Zhang recognized Xue Huaiyuan as a lifesaver.

“I've been in jail myself, and I know what it's like to be wronged. If someone like Lord Xue corrupts silver, no one will believe it! I was going to think of a way to get Feng Yutang's life, but I thought that was it, and I couldn't save Lord Xue in prison. I'm ashamed that it took so long. I thought, after five days, I would go to the robbery court. If I were alone, I would die. I would also die with the benefactor, and the benefactor would not feel wronged. Saying that saving me was a mistake! ”

Zhang Butcher looked at Kang Li: “Little girl, I don't think you are ordinary people, you are not low family status, and you are not afraid of the power of Feng Yutang. I want to reverse the case for Lord Xue. I trust you! In that case, you will turn the case over for Lord Xue. Count me in. What do you want me to do? I will not say anything! Anyway, I have no reason to be alone, this is the only slaughter knife, I will take this slaughter knife to kill the pig dog better than the bastard! ”

Kang Li didn't expect to say that from Zhang's mouth. She suddenly felt that she had never known the butcher, a man of good standing, and she did not think that there were people who secretly plotted to reverse the case for her father when the people of Tongxiang avoided Feng Yutang and were deterred by the power of Feng Yutang.

Maybe the butcher Zhang isn't the first, maybe there are others like him. Feng Yutang town can live the people's words and deeds, and the town can't live the people's hearts.

Ginger pear's heart, for a moment, followed the turbulence.

She deeply saluted the butcher Zhang.

Zhang Butcher shocked and hurried: “Little girl, what are you doing? ”

“I thank you for Xue County Chancellor.” Jiang Li earnestly said: “We all know what Feng Yutang did in Tongxiang, standing up to speak for Xue County Emperor, not everyone can do it, you can stand up, I appreciate it. ”

“There's nothing to be thankful for.” Zhang Butcher waved, "When I became a street rat, only Lord Xue was willing to believe me. Without Lord Xue, I would have been tortured to death in prison. I often look out at the sun and say to myself that it is all Lord Xue's fault to feel it. My life is already Lord Xue. If Lord Xue is in trouble, I will ignore it. Is that still a person? I never believed in killing too many people, but I believe in ungrateful people. ”

“Just pretend I don't want to go to hell!” He said.

Kang Li looked at the fierce look of the man and felt cute. They both looked at each other and laughed at each other.

……

The next day, at night, when they met with Ye Mingyu, Kang Li found that the only witness willing to stand up was Zhang Tu.

After meeting the butcher Zhang, all the people she met later, they were all hard to see. They were not strong enough. The other people didn't want to, so naturally they just did. Ye Mingyu and the other guards had nothing to gain, and Ye Mingyu was a little exasperated.

“It's all right,” Kang Li cheered with him, "Didn't we find someone else? I told you, one person a day can find five people. It's okay. ”

Ye Mingyu looked at Kang Li and did not speak. He sighed not at the lack of people, but at the disappointment of people.

A family, Kang Li wrote in a brochure, each family truly received Xue Huaiyuan's help. So now Xue Huaiyuan is in trouble, because of Feng Yutang's power, no one dares to come forward?

Knowing that I feel a little gambling, but like a pot of cold water, I will pour Ye Mingyu from a hot heart and cool ice. He likes to live happily in the rivers and lakes, and, um, grudges are grudges. But the trip to Tongxiang showed him too much helplessness in the city well, and he couldn't blame anything because everyone had their reasons. But the chest was just unpleasant, like it was stuck, boring.

He looked at Kang Li, a 15-six-year-old girl, and how could she still be so calm in the face of these three successive blows? It seems to me that being rejected is nothing more than a normal thing. If Ye Jia and Ye Rufeng had been in this situation, they would have been frustrated long ago.

But ginger pear never.

Kang Li doesn't really feel sad about these things. In fact, she has been willing to be kind to others since she died once. She doesn't get hard because she has suffered cruelty, but she doesn't expect anything from her heart anymore.

After she became Miss Kang Er, she loved Kang Yuanbai's father, loved Lady Kang's grandson, and loved ones the size of the Kang family, because she wasn't really Miss Kang Er, but she didn't invest much emotion. She doesn't care what the Kang family can do to her because she doesn't expect it.

Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning made her change. She can't tell if this change is a good thing or a bad thing, but sometimes she can feel the indifference in her bones and stare at these people who have something to do with her, like watching the crowd of people who have nothing to do with her.

It's like... it's like Ji Ji.

Perhaps you are the same person now as Ji Zhenzheng. Ji Xiao's aim was to achieve his political will and his own purpose was to avenge him. Living for a purpose, maybe it's just so boring and colorless.

Kang Li retracted his mind: "It's okay, uncle, three days left. Tomorrow, I will start reporting to Xiangyang Zhifu. Feng Yutang was convicted. Xue County's decree was suspended. On the last day, we will be able to pick up Xue County Qian and get out of prison. We will take these people from Tongxiang to Beijing to make a declaration. ”

“Will Zhiyang say yes?” Ye Mingyu asked.

“It is unacceptable for him to say yes, the rules are so, besides, the weaving room has not left Lord Tang, who knows the pros and cons, will persuade him to know Yang.” "Of course, it would be nice to find more people willing to testify," said Kang Li. ”

……

Kang Li's steps did not stop. On the third morning, she was still up early in the morning and separated from Ye Mingyu's men to persuade the people who had been graced by Xue Huaiyuan.

Aunt Chun Fang didn't go out either. She stood in the courtyard and saw Kang Li and the others leave. She didn't know what to think.

Another morning and evening.

At the end of the day and night, Kang Li and Ye Mingyu had nothing to gain. Ye Mingyu's men, however, persuaded a couple to open a noodle shop, called Ah Weird couple. Back then, the monsters were deceived and the deed was wrong. They almost took the museum away and lost the basic money to stand up for themselves. Xue Huai remotely examined the case and allowed the monsters to retrieve the deed and not to be displaced.

Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Weird have been very grateful to the Xue County Chancellor. Now that Xue Huaiyuan is in prison, Mr. and Mrs. A Weird have the heart to make noise for Xue Huaiyuan, and they don't know what they can do. They always feel like standing out as a mantis arm in a car. Now that Kang Li walker appears, they and his wife are not happy. It seems that they finally know what they can do, so they don't want to go down.

“We've found three people," Ye Mingyu said. “Will you give Xiangyang the order tomorrow? ”

Kang Li nodded: “Enough. ”

Ye Mingyu asked: "Do you still want to find someone? ”

“Find it," said Kang Li. “The more people, the bigger the scene, the better to go to the Da Lisi Temple, and the petition for the royal decree, so that people can't be pressed down, so that everyone in the world can see, tear off this skin, how much turmoil really came out in Tongxiang County. ”

"'I know,' said Ye Mingyu. 'Go on, then! ”

This night, Kang Li slept very calmly. In his dream, he saw Xue Zhaohe's father. The three of them were on their way home from Qingshi Lane. At night, Xue Zhao was carrying a sword. He was proud to play with a sword method in front of Kang Li, and Xue Huaiyuan scolded him.

Warm makes Ginger Pear unwilling to wake up.

Until Snow came to wake her gently: "Girl, it's time to get up. ”

Ginger pears get up early every day these days, there's no way to do it, there's no time for delay. She still remembers last night's beautiful dream, but the action was sober and decisive. But for a moment, I was done combing, eating something, getting ready to go.

Five hundred and sixty-eight families, half of whom had not visited. And in the past half, only three people were willing to come forward.

Sad? Maybe, but luckily, not all of them, not even the worst.

Ye Mingyu smiled and said hello to Kang Li: "Pear, we're going to be busy again today. ”

Kang Li also laughed: "It's going to be hard today, Uncle and your little brothers. ”

Everyone laughed out the door, opened the yard, and suddenly stunned.

Aunt Chunfang stood at the door. She wore thin clothes and waited for some time. Her body trembled slightly. She saw Kang Li and her eyes lit up.

“Aunt Chunfang?” Kang Li looked at her in confusion: “What brings you here? ”

“I… I…” Chun Fang clasped his lips, seemed to take a long time to muster courage. "Miss, I and I would stand up and testify on Lord Xue's behalf! ”

Kang Li stood still.

“I've thought about it, Lord Xue has helped us a lot. If you don't mind, it's no conscience. I'm willing to stand up! ”

This cowardly woman, as if she had the courage to come from nothing, her voice suddenly grew louder, her head raised, and she was resolute.

Neither Kang Li nor Ye Mingyu expected her to say such a word.

Half a dozen times, Kang Li smiled. "Thank you, Aunt Chunfang. ”

Chun Fang blushed and waved his hands in panic. “It's not just me, it's them," he said. ”

When he saw the corner of the wall, he walked out two more people, carrying a peaceful Daiyun.

Ping An saw Kang Li and smiled sweetly at Kang Li. Daiyun said: “Miss Kang, I've thought about it. Lord Xue saved Ping, we can't be so ruthless to the savior of Ping Li's life. Our mothers and daughters have been receiving Lord Xue's help in Tongxiang, and we cannot let a good man suffer because of our selfishness. We're willing to stand up. ”

Kang Li looked at her. Daiyun held her peaceful hand tightly, and she could see that she had struggled for a long time to make this decision. But now she's here with peace.

“Thank you.” Kang Li smiled, "With you, Lord Xue's case will be much easier. I think Lord Xue is not far from a normal day. ”

“It's not just us.” Chunfang: “Look out there.” She points in one direction.

Ginger pear took a few steps forward.

At the entrance of the alley in Qingshi Lane, I don't know when, already squeezed the dense numbness crowd, some outside, some inside, squeezed the alley out of water, not to mention hundreds of people. They are both men, women and children. At first glance, they are the people of Tongxiang.

When they saw Kang Li, they shouted: “Miss Kang, we are all willing to be witnesses to Xue County! ”

“Miss Kang, take us to help the Xue County Princess! We have all been blessed by Lord Xue, and now it is our turn to repay Lord Xue! ”

“We know what Miss Kang intends to do. This is a deliberate attempt to find Miss Kang. If Miss Kang wants us to do anything, we can do whatever we want to save Lord Xue! ”

Kang Li looked at everything in front of her.

Ye Mingyu and his men took two steps forward and also saw the scene in front of them. Ye Mingyu whispered: “My good boy...” The sound was incredible.

In contrast to the door-to-door nail situation the other day, everything today is not real like a dream. These people of Tongxiang, old and weak women and children all have the courage, but they are undoubtedly immune.

Those who Xue Huaiyuan had helped, those who were shrunk away from standing up for various reasons, experienced struggle, hesitation, wandering and anxiety, and justice prevailed over fear or stood up.

Is it worth looking forward to?

Isn't it worth looking forward to?

Safely earned her mother's hand, ran two steps forward, grabbed Kang Li's hand, and cried softly: “Sister, we would stand up. ”

Kang Li's eyes were so hot that he couldn't speak.
