Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li didn't have the time to pay attention to the orders of Feng Yutang and Princess Yongning, but she was not a fool. She had dealt with Princess Yongning once in her previous life, and she knew that Princess Yongning would kill her in the future. The title of Chief Assistant Daughter fooled Tong Zhiyang and Feng Yutang, but not Yongning. Sooner or later, they will kill themselves, but the most important thing right now is to settle Peng Xiao and them. They don't have much time, and two days of the seven days have passed.

The secret room mentioned by Jiang Li is hidden in a haunted abandoned farm in Tongxiang. There is a tunnel underground in the farm, and the entrance of the tunnel is on the stone wall by the lake. The outside is covered with lush weeds, which cannot be seen by others.

Ye Mingyu put Peng Xiao and the others in the secret room, and first asked someone to change their clothes for Peng Xiao and eat something. Peng Xiao and He Jun are alright, but they are weaker, Gu Da and Gu Er are not in good condition, and Xiao Hei is the worst. Ye Mingyu followed what Jiang Li said, and when he found Doctor Zhong, Doctor Zhong shook his head repeatedly.

Ye Mingyu brought Dr. Zhong's only son, and gave Dr. Zhong five hundred taels of silver, and told Dr. Zhong that as long as Xiao Hei and the others could be cured, they would find a way to send Dr. Zhong away from Tongxiang, and then give Dr. Zhong One thousand five hundred taels of silver was enough for them to settle down outside.

In the small county of Tongxiang, the common people have never seen so much silver all at once. Moreover, Ye Mingyu still has a scar on his face that looks fierce. Dr. Zhong was terrified, so he put in 120,000 points of effort to repair Xiao Hei's injury.

While Xiao Hei Gu Da Gu Er was resting, Jiang Li, Peng Xiao and the others went outside to talk.

Ye Mingyu first found a stone by the side of the secret room and sat down, and said, "Ali, you found this place well. I think Feng Yutang couldn't find another place like this even if he dug three feet into the ground. There are still stones in it." As for the table and stone bench, I don’t know who left it.”

Who left it? Of course it was Xue Zhao. At that time, Xue Zhaozhi read a lot of strange travel notes, and often said: "One day we will also be like what is written in these scriptures, and we will find a down-and-out hero who is being hunted down by the government, and we will let him live here. If others can't find them, he will teach me martial arts here. Hey, in three to five years, I will be a generation of heroes. No one dares to find fault with me. If anyone dares to touch your finger, I will —a sword makes them kneel down and beg for mercy!"

The wanton laughter of the young man seemed to still echo in the deep secret room, and the words became a prophecy. Many years later, they really saved the people who were hunted down by the government and hid here, but none of Xue Zhao came to learn martial arts.

Jiang Li withdrew her thoughts, met the gazes of Peng Xiao and the others, and said: "I also heard it by accident. This place is safe for the time being. At least within seven days, Feng Yutang's people will not be able to come here. As long as every seven days But, nothing is the same."

"Miss Jiang Er, thank you very much." Peng smiled. Now he knows Jiang Li's identity and some of what Jiang Li did in Tongxiang. Although I still don't quite understand why Jiang Li tried so hard to help the Xue family reverse the case, but at least now, the five of them who survived by chance all believed in Jiang Li.

Perhaps it cannot be said to be believed, but willing to believe, just like a drowning person suddenly finds a life-saving straw, and will swim forward desperately, no matter whether the straw will sink to the bottom, no one wants to believe that it is a mirage . To them, Xue Huaiyuan was a superior, more like a teacher. As long as there is a chance to save Xue Huaiyuan, they are willing to try.

"What can we do?" He Jun asked.

Jiang Li looked at He Jun. She used to think that He Jun was too weak to be an official, but after going through these days, he seemed to have grown a lot overnight. The young man who always asked Xue Fangfei to find some books for him would grit his teeth and insist on the fairness and justice in his heart. Although I can't do anything, as long as I live, I will not admit defeat to my fate.

Simply fate still has a chance to come back.

"Just looking at the case of the Xue family, it can only be handled by Feng Yutang of Tongxiang. As long as Feng Yutang handles the case, the Xue family's case will be beneficial and unfavorable. You also know that Feng Yutang deliberately put Xue Xiancheng in prison. Therefore, this case cannot be passed. Feng Yutang's hand, I've thought about it, only if Feng Yutang is also involved and handed over to Dali Temple to manage, there will be room for maneuver."

Peng Xiao and He Jun looked at each other and said, "You want us to identify Feng Yutang?"

Dealing with smart people is easy, Jiang Li said: "That's right. I thought it would be somewhat difficult for you to identify Feng Yutang. It is to accuse him of torture you in private. These can be covered up, and there is only one side of the story. But Feng Yutang let If you go to the Dongshan Mine Road, you are looking for a dead end. He is going to die by himself, and no one can stop him."

"What do you mean?" Ye Mingyu interjected, "If you don't point out Feng Yutang's atrocities, point him out for what?"

"Determined that he did not sue the court, but dug gold privately. Although Dongshan is an abandoned mine, everyone knows that no gold can be dug out. But that happened in the past ten years. Many people have forgotten this time. As long as rumors are released, there will still be gold to be dug in Dongshan, but Feng Yutang secretly sent people to dig for gold without telling the court, and he will be charged with a serious crime."

He Jun murmured: "Digging a well privately is a capital crime of ransacking your family and exterminating your family..."

"The things in the world are the emperor's things. It is not a pity to die if you steal people's things and even steal them from the emperor's head." Jiang Li smiled slightly. "Besides, there seems to be an expert behind Master Feng. Wading in the muddy water, who knows what Feng Yutang wants to dig gold for? Digging gold is nothing more than seeking wealth. If such a large amount of wealth is used to recruit soldiers and horses, wouldn't it be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason? Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a major event in the world, a major event How can such a big matter be resolved in such a small place in Tongxiang? It is not an exaggeration to sue the Imperial Court."

Ye Mingyu was dumbfounded, He Jun and Peng Xiao were also dumbfounded.

In Jiang Li's short speech, Feng Yutang's crime was elevated to the level of collaborating with the enemy and treason. But everything she said can be established. How words can kill without blood, they have seen it now.

"That's right." He Jun gritted his teeth and smiled, with a kind of pure hatred in his voice, "They are already too numerous to write down, and they have been accused of committing crimes. They said that they were collaborating with the enemy and treason, or they were taking advantage of them. Second Miss Jiang, what did you say?" Very reasonable! Then Feng Yutang asked fifteen of our brothers to dig gold, and we used it as witnesses to identify Feng Yutang's wolf ambition! He wanted to dig gold, but he was afraid that others would find out his plan, so he let us, Master Xue's men Doing things for him, mining like this non-stop day and night, once dead, no one will collect the body, but it is the best way not to leak the secrets!"

Jiang Li smiled. He Jun really has grown up, facing his enemies, he also knows that not all open and aboveboard methods are useful, but this growth and sensibility makes people feel a little distressed.

Peng Xiao said in a deep voice: "It's not just us, there are also ten brothers who died. Your Excellency was sympathetic to us at the beginning, and our fifteen brothers are all the generation whose parents died early. But after all, there are wives and children in the family, and now they are being tortured by Feng Yutang And died, the body was thrown in the Dongshan field to be eaten by wild dogs, poor and those who were newly married and happy, now their wives and children don't know how to spend their lives... I just risked my life, I Peng Xiao And avenge those brothers who died!"

Although the tall man didn't shed tears, he did cry with blood. Hearing this, Ye Mingyu's heart was agitated, and he said, "You count me in too! Then Feng Yutang should have been punished for doing everything he could. Since God doesn't come out with this Head, I'm fucking out!"

Perhaps the hearts of the people are united, and many things seem difficult at first, but in the end, they are not so unimaginable.

"But..." He Jun paused, calmed down, and then looked at Jiang Li: "The question is about Feng Yutang's crime, so what about our lord?" He was still thinking about Xue Huaiyuan.

"Xue County Chancellor's accusation is simply nonsense. People in Tongxiang can testify that he embezzled disaster relief funds. During the natural disaster, the money was distributed to the people. Xue Huaiyuan never embezzled a single coin." Jiang Li said.

"We all know." Peng Xiao lowered his head, "but the problem is that no one in Tongxiang is willing to stand up."

"I don't blame them." He Jun interjected: "Wife and children are worse than the disaster. Feng Yutang used their parents and children as threats. Everyone is afraid in their hearts and dare not come out to testify for the adults. Miss Jiang Er, Feng Yutang became the county magistrate in Tongxiang. From now on, bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil, Bai Xin dare not speak out, not only that, they also carelessly ignore human life, if not for this, the common people would have turned upside down. But Feng Yutang was originally a rascal, and his methods It’s so lowly that no one would dare to take the risk.”

"I know." Jiang Li said softly: "I didn't blame them." In fact, it's the same, if one day she is asked to complain for a good person, but Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao's lives will be lost, she will hesitate . It won't hurt if the knife is not cut on your body. Human nature is like this, and no one can be spared.

"Then what should we do?" Ye Mingyu scratched his head.

"Although the people have difficulties, the people of Tongxiang need to stand up for this matter. I know there is danger, but there is no way. The world is like this. The original fairness and justice now need to pay a price to get it. Only when the people stand up can they become crushed. The last straw for the camel, I will make the sinners who framed the Xue family skin off even if they don’t die this time, and I will never let them have a better time!” Jiang Li’s tone became more serious when she said this, and there seemed to be a fire in her eyes. It took a while to calm down.

"I'm here. There are 568 households in Tongxiang. I'll persuade them personally. From today, there are still five days left. Every household in Tongxiang has not received the favor of Xue Xiancheng. The grace of a drop of water Yongquan reports, although help does not need to be rewarded, but now is the time to report. People's hearts are full of flesh, I will knock and ask every family, five hundred and sixty-eight households, I don't believe it , I can’t find a family who is willing to stand up.” She looked at several people: “There will always be a family, right?”

Several people were silent.

There was hope in Jiang Li's eyes. She has always been gentle and calm, even if urgent things are done by her hands, it seems that she has become more leisurely. Therefore, she rarely showed her own emotions. Ye Mingyu had never seen this kind of look of anticipation.

I've seen it now.

It also seems that at this moment, she is like a real cardamom girl, waiting for a good thing to happen with full expectation. Anyone who breaks this cautious expectation will be a heinous sin.

Peng laughed and said, "That's right, there must be more than one family, there must be many people. The people in Tongxiang are not ungrateful, Miss Jiang, don't underestimate them."

The corner of Jiang Li's mouth curled up, and said: "No, I have always believed in them."

Just like my father believed them.

...

Coming out of the secret room, Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu walked back.

Ye Mingyu said: "Ali, when you go to talk to those people, I will go with you. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone. Five hundred and sixty-eight households is not a small number."

Jiang Li thought for a while: "Uncle, you don't know what kind of favors they have received from Xue Xiancheng, I'm afraid you won't be able to persuade them. How about I write a brochure for you later, and you can read it first according to the brochure."

Ye Mingyu was taken aback: "Do you know what kind of favors they have received from Xue Xiancheng?"

"That's right." Jiang Li smiled. She and Xue Zhao sometimes feel that Xue Huaiyuan is really a rare kind person in the world, because every citizen in Tongxiang, whenever they have difficulties, Xue Huaiyuan will help them. Back then when Tongxiang was poor, no one wanted to come. Xue Huaiyuan came, but he never thought of leaving. From Xue Huaiyuan's point of view, every commoner in Tongxiang is his relative, and as a parent official, he must solve the difficulties of the common people. If the common people can't even rely on him, there will be no one to rely on.

In the past, she thought it was good to have a clear conscience, but now, she suddenly felt a little confused, not knowing whether the things Xue Huaiyuan did back then were meaningful or not.

It would be great if Xue Zhao was here, Jiang Li thought, he must be able to understand his confusion at the moment, and he must be able to convince his heart in the shortest time.

The carriage team bypassed Jiang Li's path and returned to the right path. Jiang Li had already changed back to her original attire on the carriage, presumably Feng Yutang had discovered that Dongshan's people had been taken away, and was desperately looking for them. I couldn't hide my disguise for long, so I simply walked out generously. Feng Yutang knew that Peng Xiao and the others were taken away by his own people, but he couldn't find out. Feng Yutang didn't dare to threaten him to reveal their whereabouts, so he was confident.

Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage, seriously thinking about what to do next, but before she knew it, it was already dark outside.

This day is actually very tight, but even so, the time passes quickly. Jiang Li felt more and more that there was not enough time. Two days of the seven days had passed, and I don't know if it would be too late for the remaining five days.

She opened the curtain of the carriage, and it got dark very quickly in winter. Although Tongxiang was not considered lively at night, there were still some pedestrians outside, but now I don't know if it is because of Feng Yutang's office, there are very few people on the street, and it takes a long time to see a pedestrian. Every household closed their doors and lights, making Tongxiang look like an empty city. The horse-drawn carriages were walking on the street, and the sound echoed, which was exceptionally clear.

Ye Mingyu muttered outside, "Why is there no one there?"

The wind slightly blew the foot of the carriage curtain, Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

After turning a corner, it was Qingshi Lane, which was clearly a familiar street, but Jiang Li suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She called out, "Uncle!"

"What's the matter, ah..." Ye Mingyu hadn't uttered the word "pear" when he heard a cold voice brought by a gust of wind in mid-air. When the sword was blocked, a "clang" was heard, and the swords collided with each other, making a loud noise.

A few black shadows "swish" from around the eaves, moving extremely fast, almost blending into the night in the night, rushing towards the carriage from all directions, pointing at Jiang Li with the tip of the sword!

"Protect Miss Biao!" Ye Mingyu only had time to yell, before he wrestled with these black-clothed assassins.

Jiang Li's heart "thumped", she thought that Yongning would order Feng Yutang to kill her, but she didn't expect it to be so soon! Leaving aside the time for sending letters from Yanjing to Tongxiang, at least not so fast. When Feng Yutang received Yongning's order, he would at least hesitate for a while. She was Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, and this identity alone had to make Feng Yutang fearful.

But when there are mistakes, Feng Yutang, like his master Yongning, is born bold and ruthless, maybe he thought that Princess Yongning would keep him safe and sound, that's why he acted so boldly!

Jiang Li looked out, her heart sinking gradually, good guy, Yongning is really a big deal, there are only seven people in their group, but there are twenty or so in Yongning. Among the twenty or so people, it seemed that a few of them were particularly skilled in martial arts, fighting with Ye Mingyu, and the rest were slightly inferior, but they also tripped up the other guards. People kept rushing towards the carriage, and their target was Jiang Li!

It can't go on like this! A suspicion suddenly crossed Jiang Li's mind, the goal of these people was her, but not Ye Mingyu and the others. But Ye Mingyu might be in danger if he keeps pestering her. Without even thinking about it, she got out of the carriage suddenly, which startled Ye Mingyu, and said sharply, "Ah Li, go back!"

"I'm fine, Uncle!" Jiang Li moved as quickly as in the blink of an eye, turned her head and took out the dagger in her sleeve to cut off the rope of the carriage, stepped on the stirrups, got on the horse, pulled the reins, and galloped away into the night.

In a blink of an eye, there was no trace.

Seeing that Jiang Li had abandoned the carriage and fled, those killers didn't want to fight Ye Mingyu and the others, and wanted to chase Jiang Li away. How could Ye Mingyu let them succeed, and continued to fight with swords, but there were so many people on the other side, after all, he missed a few, and followed Jiang Li's back.

Jiang Li was on horseback. At this moment, the more critical the situation, the clearer her mind was.

Sometimes, the more critical the situation is, the more flustered people are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Sometimes those who were not defeated so quickly would surrender quickly because of panic. She knows the truth of never giving up until the last moment, not to mention she has a trump card that others can't match.

It is her familiarity with Tongxiang.

Jiang Li had already noticed that the group of people who had just come to chase them down was clearly divided into two groups. The kung fu with fewer people is better, and the kung fu with more people is not so good. People with good kung fu should be from Yongning, and people with bad kung fu are the mob that Feng Yutang found from nowhere. Thinking about it, the killers who are following him closely now are the people of Princess Yongning.

After all, it is their task to hunt and kill themselves.

Jiang Li smiled slightly, and the horse deftly crossed the tree path in the woods. In the night, the moon was gradually covered by thick clouds, and nothing could be seen.

But she seems to be able to see, and she shuttles flexibly in the woods.

She grew up in Tongxiang, and this is her home. She watched Xue Zhao hunt here, knowing that when hunting, the most important thing is to lure the prey into the trap, quietly, bit by bit, every tree, every piece of land is her natural barrier, Familiar courage.

The corner of Jiang Li's mouth curled up, and the sound of chasing behind her gradually approached. She could even feel that as soon as she turned her head, there would be a shiny silver sword across her neck, stealing her life in an instant.

But she just nimbly jumped over the bushes in front of her and stopped.

"Plop" "Plop" "Plop"!

Three times.

It sounded like a heavy object being submerged in the water, followed by strange cursing sounds, and there seemed to be panicked help calls.

Jiang Li stopped and laughed softly on the opposite side of the grass.

The calm grass has turned into a lake that can be holed at this moment, as if there is something sticky and flowing to wrap people in it. There is a figure struggling in it.

"Stop struggling," Jiang Li said slowly, "This is the most terrifying swamp in this area. The more you struggle, the faster you will sink in."

The moon gradually emerged from the clouds, the corners of her clothes were covered with mud in the woods, but her face was so clean that it was unreasonable, with a smile on her lips, she spoke softly, but what she said was terrible words, "Oh, I just found out that half of your body has already gone down, so there is no way to save you. Even if someone comes, they will not be able to save you. You will only be pulled down along with them." She covered her mouth and said with a sigh :"very pitiful."

Those black-clothed killers looked at her angrily, fiercely, but half of their bodies were sunk in, and even half of their faces were sunk in, presumably because they struggled so fiercely that the swamp covered his mouth , Immediately changed to pour it into his nose, his eyes showed panic.

This feeling of waiting for death is really tormenting. Jiang Li might as well give them a sword and let them die happily.

Jiang Li was obviously not that kind, but turned around and got on the horse, leaving the swamp.

Xue Huaiyuan once banned her and Xue Zhao from playing here because of this forest and this swamp. But Xue Zhao was naughty, but felt that this was a natural trap. Here they make a lot of traps and catch a lot of prey. If Feng Yutang's killers hadn't come out suddenly today, and she asked Ye Mingyu to arrange the forest, it would not be difficult to catch them all. As in war, art of war sometimes trumps brute force.

It's a shame there are only three.

Jiang Li drove her horse back. She wanted to take another route and return to Ye Mingyu safely. She didn't know what happened to Ye Mingyu now.

The horse took a few steps forward, but suddenly stopped, its front hooves dangling in the air a few times, as if it smelled some kind of danger, and hesitated.

In the clear and bright moonlight, under the bushes, there were dozens of men in black surrounding her, surrounding her.

"Second Miss is really powerful." The leader sneered: "No wonder Madam wants us to come together. I thought it was an overkill before, but now it seems that I still underestimated Second Miss."

lady? Jiang Li frowned: "Ji Shuran?"

The other party didn't speak, but Jiang Li instantly understood that it was indeed Ji Shuran.

She also knew that when she returned to Xiangyang this time, Ji Shuran would definitely do something secretly. After all, in Ji Shuran's eyes, she is a stumbling block that must be eradicated. But she didn't expect that Ji Shuran's people would be so calm, and they could even come up with a way of praying mantises to catch cicadas and orioles, and let people follow behind, and when she and Feng Yutang's people were both hurt and distracted, Suddenly killed himself by surprise.

This was my own mistake, Jiang Li thought calmly.

There are more than a dozen people on the other side, and only one of them is alone. No weapons, save for a short dagger in his sleeve. But this dagger can't do much, the strength of the enemy and the enemy is too great. She had nothing to distract the other party's attention. Seeing Feng Yutang's people fall into the swamp, these people would only be more vigilant and would not be fooled repeatedly.

God is used to jokes, and always tells people that their chances are dead when it seems that there is a bright road ahead. Make hopeful people more desperate, and desperate people fall into darkness forever.

"Miss Er doesn't need to look left and right, she has come up with other ways." The leader said with a strange malice in his voice, "Madam told us to torture you with all methods, and then kill you." He smiled stickily : "But the second young lady is so pure and lovely, intelligent and brave, we are reluctant to torture you in a terrible way, or should we find a more comfortable way?"

The men in black around him all let out disgusting laughter just like him. Don't even think about it, Jiangli knows what tricks they are thinking.

In an instant, she seemed to have returned to that afternoon at Shen's house, and that humiliating and angry emotion dominated her dying half a year later. It turned her life upside down, and these people brought back those disgusting memories of her.

Jiang Li's eyes deepened, and she sneered, "Do you think you're sure to win? Don't I have any other options?"

The leader laughed again, and he said: "I know Second Miss is looking for a way to delay time, but just now Master Ye San has been injured, and Feng Yutang's people have already tripped him in front. Besides, Second Miss's The horse was going too fast, but Master Ye San's horse didn't know the way, didn't know there was this forest, and couldn't find the whereabouts of Miss Er. Now here, it's just us, and you."

What he said was extremely arrogant, Jiang Li knew the way, so he was able to escape into the woods with the three killers, and let them sink into the swamp without life. But even if Ye Mingyu got rid of those killers, he still couldn't find Jiang Li's whereabouts - Tongxiang was completely unfamiliar to him.

But Jiang Li just smiled: "Who said I want to find Master Ye San?"

The man was taken aback.

Her voice was clear, with an inexplicable smile, echoing in the woods.

"My lord, after watching the play for so long, can we come out and get together?"

Ari: Are you surprised? Surprised or not? Is it irritating?

Killer: ...

I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival! Remember to eat zongzi!
