Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li has never seen such a Xue family.

When Xue Huaiyuan was a county magistrate, his salary was not much. Unlike previous county governors, he repaired the mansion high and large, just like all ordinary people. The owner of this three entry courtyard wanted to travel far and was eager to deal with it. He sold it to Xue Huaiyuan cheaply.

Although the yard is shabby and tidy, it is also a home. Xue Zhao and Xue Fangfei grew from innocent children to young girls in this yard.

In her memory, the Xue family's house is always full of smoke and vitality. The worthless flowers and plants planted at the door also add color to the house.

However, in front of the Xue family, the court was dilapidated, and the official seal looked particularly dazzling. Even there was a lot of dust on the seal, which showed that no one had been here for a long time.

A good home, say goodbye.

Ye Mingyu saw Jiang Li suddenly shed tears, and was stunned and asked, "ah Li, what's the matter with you?"

Jiang Li recalled, smiled and said, "there is too much dust here, and her eyes are narrowed by sand." She took out her handkerchief, wiped her eyes and said, "just wipe it."

Ye Mingyu has no doubt about him. In his opinion, Jiang Li is the first time to Tongxiang. This strange house can't make Jiang Li cry. He said, "whose house is this? Why is it sealed by the government?"

"Xue family." Jiang Li Dao.

Ye Mingyu was greatly surprised: "how do you know?"

Jiang Li pointed to the seal, "it's written on the top. I think it's what uncle Ming Yu just said, the home of the county magistrate who is dedicated to the people."

Bai Xue and tong'er were very puzzled, and ye Mingyu was too surprised to speak. After a long time, he said, "what county magistrate? How could Xue county magistrate's home be sealed? Is there a mistake? This... What happened?" He hasn't even been in Xiangyang for many years, let alone Tongxiang. Moreover, Xue Huaiyuan's story didn't spread far. Even qiongzhi had to inquire about it, and ye Mingyu was even more unlikely to know it.

Jiang Li smiled, and her tone was a little chilly: "there is an unexpected situation in the sky, and everyone is in danger and good luck overnight. Xue Xiancheng didn't know what happened, and even his family was raided."

Ye Mingyu thought Jiang Li's words were strange, but he didn't know where it was. When several people were silent, they heard a "squeak" not far away. Someone pushed the door and came out of the small courtyard next to the Xue family.

It was a woman with a flowery cloth towel wrapped around her head. Her skin was slightly dark, and she came out of the yard with a blue cloth skirt and a bamboo basket hanging between her elbows. She probably didn't expect that such a team of people would suddenly stand at the door of the Xue family, which had been sealed, and her appearance was still very strange. I didn't dare to go forward immediately, but just stood there, looking at them with some surprise.

Ye Mingyu was helpless: "well, this is to treat us as bad guys?"

Seeing this woman, Jiang Li felt a familiar feeling in her heart immediately.

The woman in blue skirt is aunt Chunfang of the next door neighbor. Having watched her and Xue Zhao grow up since childhood, Jiang Li couldn't help taking a few steps forward and walked towards aunt Chunfang.

Ye Mingyu whispered to her behind, "Hey, ah Li, what are you doing?"

Jiang Li walked to Chunfang.

Chunfang looked at Jiang Li and hesitated to hold her hand. At first glance, these people were not from Tongxiang, but the young lady in front of them was a girl from a rich family. There is no need to choose their appearance, and their smile is also soft. Where did they come from Tongxiang to be such a golden woman. No, she also came out. At the beginning, Fangfei of the Xue family was not the recognized beauty of Tongxiang. Unfortunately, she married to Yanjing city. But fortunately, I married to Yanjing, otherwise if I stayed in Tongxiang, I would be implicated now

Chun Fang was thinking in vain. Before meeting, the young lady looked at her and said gently, "aunt, dare you ask this closed house, but it's the home of county mayor Xue Huaiyuan?"

Chun Fang was startled, looked at Jiang Li, and said, "exactly, do you know the Xue family?"

"No." Jiang Li shook her head. "It's just a little curious. Excuse me, why was Xue Xiancheng's home sealed?"

Chun Fang was stunned, and then shook her head: "no... I don't know..."

"He's a local official, your county magistrate. There's always a reason why a good official's house is closed. How can my aunt not know?"

Xu is Jiang Li's eyes are too cool, or her tone is very threatening, and Chun Fang unconsciously steps back. She was incoherent and said, "no, I don't know, I just don't know... Go and ask someone else."

Jiang Li said, "aunt doesn't know, or is she unwilling to say?"

Chun Fang raised her head to look at Jiang Li and summoned her courage: "why do you want to inquire about Lord Xue? Who are you?"

Jiang Li pressed so hard that no one would believe her. She was just curious to ask about it. But Chun Fang avoided talking about it so much, but she wanted to cover it up. Jiang Li said with a smile, "it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I want to inquire about the Xue family. Will my aunt say it?"

Chun Fang, Jiang Li, is a warm and kind person who has been a neighbor for so many years. Jiang Li believed that if she hadn't been too afraid, Chun Fang would never have watched her father fall into prison. Tongxiang people are the same, but I don't know what kind of threat makes these people dare not stand up.

At this time, the door of Chunfang's yard opened with a "squeak", and Chunfang's man's voice floated from a distance: "ah Fang, why don't you go yet?"

"I'm going to sell embroidery." Chun Fang pushed Jiang Li away at once, as if she had found an excuse and was in a hurry to escape. But in the middle of it, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "this young lady, it seems that you are new here. I'll remind you, too. In front of outsiders, don't mention the Xue family anymore, save yourself trouble. You... Don't be too ostentatious." After that, carrying a bamboo basket and never looking at Jiang Li again, it seemed as if something terrible was chasing her, and soon disappeared.

Ye Mingyu came forward and stood beside Jiang Li, who looked at Chun Fang's back in a daze, complaining, "really, ah Li is so good-natured, how can it be like seeing a ghost? She's scared to death." Looking at Jiang Li again, "what did I hear you say about Xue Jia? What do you mean, ah Li, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Li came to Qingshi lane for no reason, stayed in front of the sealed up Xue family for so long, and asked a strange woman about the Xue family. Ye Mingyu also saw that this was by no means accidental or on a whim. The purpose of Jiang Li's trip was related to the Xue family.

"Uncle Mingyu," Jiang Li said, looking directly into Ye Mingyu's eyes, which made Ye Mingyu see clearly the firmness of her eyes. She said, "I came to Tongxiang for this, uncle, I want to rehabilitate the Xue family."

Ye Mingyu was stunned, and tong'er and Bai Xue were also stunned.

Anyway, Jiang Li is the daughter of Yanjing, and Xue Huaiyuan is just a county magistrate of Tongxiang. These two people have never met. Jiang Li suddenly said so, and ye Mingyu didn't know how to answer.

After a while, ye Mingyu found his voice and said, "you... What did you say?"

"I can't tell you why I did this," Jiang Li said sorry. "It's a long story, and it's not clear in a few words. But Xue Xiancheng of Xue family was indeed wronged and imprisoned. I was entrusted to investigate this matter thoroughly and return Xue Xiancheng's innocence."

"But how do you know that Xue Xiancheng is innocent? How can you, a little girl, find out and help him rehabilitate? Ah Li, it's impossible!"

"Uncle Ming Yu," Jiang Li's voice was very calm, as if the matter was a deliberate decision after her careful consideration, and there was no room for doubt. She said, "check whether Xue Xiancheng is innocent. Although I'm a little girl, I'm also the daughter of Shoufu, and I'm not without rights. I do it knowing it's impossible, not for anger, but for fairness." Jiang Li said, "in this world, there is no distinction between black and white, right and wrong is unclear, which is really unfair. Besides, the person I want to help is the one who is kind to me, so you have the right to treat it as me to repay my kindness. People in the Jianghu don't pay attention to revenge and complain. I know this matter is very important, and I don't want to implicate my uncle. If my uncle feels inappropriate, he can quit now, and I'm enough."

This originally sounded a little angry, but Jiang Li said it was safe and sound. Ye Mingyu stared into Jiang Li's eyes. He knew that his niece had always had ideas, but at this moment, he realized that Jiang Li always did things step by step. She didn't expect the possible troubles and bad consequences, but nothing could shake her determination to take every step.

Not to mention his uncle, in a sense, with him or without him, Jiang Li will not be delayed in doing his own things.

On second thought, Jiang Li, a little girl, understood the truth of "knowing it's impossible to do it". All day long, he still boasted of being a hero. Even a little girl couldn't compare with him. He was timid, and immediately gave birth to a spirit of loneliness and courage, saying, "go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire, and I will accompany you to the end!" He patted Jiang Li on the head and said lovingly, "sleep, I'm your uncle?"

Jiang Li: "...."

"Then uncle," said Jiang Li, "when we settle down, there is one thing we want uncle's help."

"You say!" Ye Mingyu readily agreed.

"Please also ask these bodyguards, uncle's people to find a way to ask people loudly about the closure of the Xue family in the busiest place in Tongxiang, whether it's a tavern or a teahouse. The more eye-catching, the better. It's best that everyone can hear it."

"Girl?" Tong'er whispered, "didn't that Aunt say just now, don't mention the Xue family's affairs in front of outsiders, and save trouble? Why... Why did she deliberately let people know?"

Jiang Li laughed, "because I want to scare the snake."

Ye Mingyu was puzzled.

"I can't find the snake, so let the snake come to me." She smiled.

The people in Yongning let others frame Xue Huaiyuan and put him in prison, but the people clearly saw in their eyes that no one understands Xue Huaiyuan better than the people in Tongxiang these years. In order to prevent the people from talking nonsense and instability, we simply use some means to prevent the people from talking about it.

It is conceivable that when such a group of people suddenly inquire about Xue Huaiyuan, they will naturally attract each other's attention. Before long, the other party will come to the door.

She didn't bother to inquire about each other one by one, so she sat here and waited for others to fall into the net.

And she, one by one, everyone has a share, no hurry.

……

The peaceful life of Tongxiang people was completely broken in one afternoon.

In the afternoon, a group of outsiders came from nowhere and wandered around in teahouses, restaurants and even the streets. What they said and did was to ask pedestrians around about the sealed Xue County Cheng's house.

Jiang Li and ye Mingyu are sitting in the pub, which is the busiest pub in Tongxiang. In the past days, people always liked to talk about anything new in Tongxiang in this pub. Xue Zhao likes to bring her to eavesdrop. Sometimes she can hear a lot of interesting things.

But today is really different.

The people were still looking at them with interest, as if they were fresh faces from other places. When ye Mingyu's guards asked about the Xue family, these people immediately showed a look of fear on their faces and fled in all directions, as if they were avoiding something. Or shut up and shake your head desperately.

Jiang Li has been in Tongxiang for so many years, and she knows that the people in Tongxiang are still very hospitable. But obviously, ye Mingyu's men scared these people, and no one dared to approach them. Even they were like a plague, but in just half an afternoon, the people on the street took a detour when they saw them, otherwise they would whisper something.

When they sat down in the tavern, there were no guests in the tavern.

The shopkeeper is also the same. Seeing Jiang Li and them coming, he probably wants to close the store. Afraid of provoking the knife around Ye Mingyu's waist, he simply handed the store directly to the waiter and took it as his own plan. The waiter was more funny. He was trembling when serving tea. Ye Mingyu wanted him to bring some fruits to Jiang Li to moisten his throat. He just opened his mouth. The waiter seemed to be afraid of spitting out some terrible words from ye Mingyu's mouth and ran away.

"Hey, I'm surprised," Ye Mingyu was angry and funny. "What have we done? These people are like mice seeing cats. Can they run faster? I didn't see anyone so afraid when I was walking in the Jianghu with a beard?"

Jiang Li smiled: "because you mentioned the word 'Xue'."

"The word 'Xue' is not a taboo word. Why, you can't even mention it?" Ye Mingyu was full of anger as soon as he said it, "ah Li, I think what you said is right. Tongxiang ancient times are strange, and these people are also strange. Then if Xue Huaiyuan is really nothing, why do you make it so mysterious and mysterious? It's easy to cover it up! I think that most of Xue Huaiyuan was framed. Who the fuck is behind the Xue family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang bang" downstairs, like a sound made by a guy who did not hold the abacus steady and accidentally fell to the ground. Jiang Li looked down, and the boy sat by the door of the tavern, as if trying to stay away from Jiang Li.

"See through the road." Jiang Li Dao.

"What?" Ye Mingyu was puzzled

Jiang Li said slowly, "in thirty-four years, Wang Yiyan, Chinese people dare not speak, and the way is for the eyes."

"In history, there was a king who was tyrannical in governance. His favored ministers instigated the change of the dynasty system and changed many industries that civilians rely on to the royal family. For a time, the people's livelihood was poor, and the grievances of the people were boiling. The king not only did not listen to advice, but also sent a lot of wizards to constantly patrol the streets and alleys in the capital, eavesdropping on people's conversations, and anyone who was accused of rebellion or slander by them would be sent to prison and executed. In this way, the whole country would no longer dare to attack the country It's a matter of commenting. Even if we meet each other, we don't talk disorderly, but follow the way. "

Ye Mingyu said, "you mean, Tongxiang is monitored here, eavesdropping on people's conversations, and once you find someone talking about the Xue family, you order the execution. That's why the people 'talk about Xue and turn pale' and regard us as monsters?"

Jiang Li said, "exactly."

"It's too..." Ye Mingyu said, "it's too arrogant! Who dares to dominate Tongxiang like this? This is to be a tyrant? It's Tong Zhiyang of Xiangyang. He still has to worry about the mouths of the people. Who dares to be so bold and who gives them so much power?"

Jiang Li sneered in her heart. Those who do these things naturally have great courage, because the thing behind the support is Yongning, Cheng Wang's sister. The Korean situation is turbulent. It is unknown whether emperor Hong Xiaodi can hold this position in the future. With Yongning, the future may be prosperous. Even if we don't talk about the future, there is no shortage of people who please Yongning just now.

They are naturally confident and fearless, and naturally dare to let Tongxiang "follow the way".

"Ah, I see!" Ye Mingyu suddenly slapped the table, "no wonder Ali, you want us to talk about the Xue family in such a big way. If those people mix in the crowd and eavesdrop on the conversations of the people, the other party will definitely know and take the initiative to come to us!"

"Yes." Jiang Li said, "it also saves a lot of time."

Ye Mingyu saw that Jiang Li was well done, and there was clearly no sign of fear or uneasiness. He couldn't help asking, "but, ah Li, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid," Jiang Li said faintly, "compared with conscience, being upright, not afraid of the crooked shadow, and being more powerful, my father is the first scholar. I'm not afraid of anything, and the only thing I'm afraid of is that he won't come. But fortunately," Jiang Li's mouth turned up, and for a moment, ye Mingyu only felt that her smile was also a bit ironic, "they're coming."

Ye Mingyu looked downstairs.

He saw a group of soldiers on horseback suddenly pouring out of the tavern. The waiter was so scared that he almost fell off the chair, shaking like chaff. The leading officer and soldier shouted, "where are the people of the Xue family?"

"I'm here!" Ye Mingyu angrily put the cup on the table and stood up. He was tall and powerful, and he strode downstairs.

Jiang Li put down the tea cup in her hand and walked down with Ye Mingyu. Tong'er and Bai Xue are worried, and follow Jiang Li step by step, afraid that Jiang Li will suffer losses.

The men sent by Ye Mingyu also returned to the tavern at the moment, and were surrounded by those officers and soldiers. In this tense time, ye Mingyu also calmly stepped down the wooden stairs of the tavern. The sound of the steps made the stairs "creak", but it became more and more heavy and thick.

He was tall, with a knife around his waist and a scar on his face. He was full of banditry. For a moment, he was very frightening. Behind him, the young girl walked down the steps, with a soft smile and a clear and beautiful Che.

Hero and beauty, the picture is strangely harmonious, but the leading officers and soldiers feel that although the beauty is smiling, she is more murderous and colder than the hero.

It's probably my own illusion.

After calming down, the leader of the officers and soldiers asked, "you ask around about the sinful minister Xue Huaiyuan, what is his heart?"

When the head is a hat buttoned up, this word is like Jiang Li. They are accomplices of sinners. As long as they are convicted, they can be arrested together.

Ye Mingyu didn't think about it, so he said, "it's boring. Just ask if you want to know. What's the matter? You Tongxiang are still in charge of people's gossip? It's wide enough. Are you in charge of people's eating, drinking and Lasa?"

The officer and soldier flew into a rage, which should be because he didn't expect Ye Mingyu to be a thorn in the head. He immediately pulled out his sword around his waist and pointed it at Ye Mingyu, but he saw Ye Mingyu staring at him and pulling out his waist knife, revealing his ferocity.

Wandering in the Jianghu, no one relies on kindness, tenderness and kindness, and who is not a ruthless role.

These officers and soldiers drew knives together, and ye Mingyu's men and horses also drew knives together. They confronted each other and scared the waiter to hide under the table.

With the sword drawn and the crossbow stretched out, the beauty smiled slightly. Jiang Li walked in front of her. She stretched out a finger and pointed the officer and soldier leader at Ye Mingyu's sword tip, gently, gently aside.

The thin green fingers are white and soft, and they are placed on the cold and hard sword tip with silver light. Instead of being fragile, they have a kind of clear and beautiful chill. Her smile was different from the warmth of the sword tip, and she was not afraid of the officers and soldiers at all. She smiled faintly and said, "uncle, don't joke, this messenger, we're not looking for the guilty minister Xue Huaiyuan." she bit the word "guilty minister" very hard, paused, and then said, "what we're looking for is your adult."

"Our Lord?" The officer and soldier chief frowned, "what do you mean?"

"It's very simple," said Jiang Li. "I don't know where your adult is, nor how to invite him? I don't know how to let him know that we're here. I heard that as long as you talk about the Xue family here, your adult will appear, so I said, it's amazing, you're here."

She smiled cute, but the sarcasm in her words made these officers and soldiers confused. His face turned red and white for a while, but he couldn't refute Jiang Li's words. If he refuted, there would be no silver here for threehundred Liang, which was really oppressive.

"Less nonsense!" The leading officer and soldier were a little embarrassed and angry: "what do you want to do with our adults? What are your ideas?"

"In fact, if I don't come to you adults, when you adults know I'm coming to Tongxiang, they will definitely come to invite me." Jiang Liman said casually, "but we are in a tight time, so we are in such a hurry to see him."

Ye Mingyu said impatiently, "ah Li, why do you tell them so much? Show us the way quickly, and let us meet this laoshizi adult!"

It was about the first time that the leader of the officers and soldiers met such a person who didn't take them seriously. He sneered and said, "if you want to see our adults, you can see our adults. Who do you think you are? It's arrogant. I don't know what relationship you have with your sinful minister Xue Huaiyuan." He waved, "take them all away!"

Jiang Li smiled and asked, "are you sure you want to do this?"

The officer and soldier looked at her disdainfully and was about to say something. Suddenly, he saw a jade eardrop beside Jiang Li's earlobe and suddenly stopped.

The emerald earrings are green and tender. They are valuable at a glance. He remembered that the concubine most beloved by adults now had a bracelet that was not as good as this one. The bracelet was bought by adults at a high price.

The girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her clothes are very exquisite, especially the soft aura between her eyes and eyebrows, but she has a kind of luxury raised by a large family. Walking on the street in Tongxiang is also a very eye-catching existence. There was also a tall man beside her, who was called "Uncle" by her. He was obviously a rough man. There was a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg on the handle of the long knife in his hand.

This group of people is unusual, at least not ordinary people. The officers and soldiers had a sudden surprise in their hearts. When they looked at Jiang Li again, they were a little confused.

But in front of so many people, especially their subordinates, it seems too shameful to be so soft. After measuring it in his heart, the leader of the officers and soldiers still plans to say some more cruel words. But before she said it, she saw the girl in front of her looking at her fingertips and saying casually, "if I were you, I would lead the way while I'm talking well now, otherwise..." she looked up and smiled at each other, "it must not be us."

It was obviously mild and harmless, but the leading officers and soldiers did see the malice of the girl's smile at that moment. He had an intuition that if he really didn't do what Jiang Li said, it would probably be the result she said in the end.

He didn't want to be unlucky.

He looked up and down at Jiang Li and his party for a few eyes. With a straight face, he spit out a hard sentence: "take them to see adults!" Probably feeling embarrassed, he quickly walked to the front of the team and didn't want to look at Jiang Li again.

Maybe I feel that even if I look down, I'm not the one who has the upper hand. In any case, it was difficult for him to shake the weak girl in momentum.

Ye Mingyu winked at Jiang Li and said in a low voice, "yes, ah Li, you look like Taishan collapsed in front without changing color. You have the style of your uncle and I in those days, very good!"

Tong'er patted his chest, "girl, you are scared to death. Those officers and soldiers are so fierce... Fortunately, you dare to confront them."

Jiang Li smiled, "it's just a paper tiger." She followed Xue Huaiyuan since childhood, and officers and soldiers saw more. Those uncles or brothers took off their official uniforms, and they were the most ordinary people. They would buy her sugar and touch her head to fight with the bullies who bullied her.

Jiang Li was originally the most familiar to those who wore official uniforms.

But these officers and soldiers who came today are not those uncles and brothers she is familiar with. Every face is very strange. There is no doubt that Xue Huaiyuan's men and horses have been cleaned and replaced, and now the rest are subject to this "adult" now.

She would like to see, dare to dominate Tongxiang, make a tyrant of "the way to the eyes", and eagerly give Yongning a watchdog "adult", in the end, who is sacred.
