Chapter 123

Twenty days later, ye Mingyu and his party had arrived at the gate of Yanjing city.

Although Ye Mingyu boasted that he had traveled far and wide for many years, his last visit to Yanjing city was many years ago. As soon as he arrived, he felt strange and familiar, which made the tall man appear to be driven by several points.

The people of Tongxiang have never seen such an array. Just the gate of Yanjing City, everyone points out. Ping An took Dai Yun's hand and looked at the young general at the gate in a daze - in Tongxiang, the people guarding the gate were not wearing such powerful armor.

"So this is Yanjing city." Butcher Zhang said happily, and suddenly thought of something, "in those days, Lord Xue's daughter married here."

Jiang Li glanced at Xue Huaiyuan, who was already asleep in the carriage, and her heart was gloomy.

When she got married, Xue Huaiyuan kept telling her in detail that once she got the chance, she would go to Beijing with Xue Zhao to see her. But Jiang Li also knows that Xue Huaiyuan is busy. Although Tongxiang is a small county, there are more big and small things. It is not so easy for Xue Huaiyuan to find a suitable time.

Sure enough, before Xue Huaiyuan arrived in Yanjing, she and Xue Zhao had an accident first. When Xue Huaiyuan really arrived at Yanjing City, she was not Xue Fangfei, and Xue Huaiyuan also lost his mind and didn't know each other.

"Ah Li, let's go in now." Ye Mingyu said.

Jiang Li regained consciousness: "OK."

There are at least a hundred people in this group. Seeing such a large group of people suddenly coming, the young guard of the city gate thought it was a refugee who came to escape. Immediately, several people gathered around, looked serious, blocked Ye Mingyu at the door and questioned carefully.

Jiang Li lifted the curtain of the carriage, got off the carriage with the help of tong'er, walked to the young generals, handed over the pass order of the Jiang family, and said with a smile, "elder brothers, I'm the second miss of the Jiang family. These are all people in Tongxiang. I went to Yanjing wrong to file a lawsuit." She took a piece of paper out of her sleeve and handed it over, laughing, "this is a transcribed petition. Everyone here has a name on it. I'll give you this transcribed petition. After the lawsuit is over, when you leave the city, you can compare it again. OK?"

Several young generals were stunned, Miss Jiang er?

Isn't that what was said a few days ago in Yanjing city that Miss Jiang Er brought a group of people in Xiangyang countryside to overturn the criminal case? Yes? Is it here now?

Looking at the pass order in hand, it is undoubtedly the Jiang family. The young general guarding the city gate suppressed his curiosity, returned the communication order to Jiang Li, took the paper with the dense name written on it, opened his body sideways, reassured the other side of the city gate, and said, "Miss Jiang, please pass."

Since it's the young lady of the yuan family, the yuan family will take care of anything, but they are not afraid. Then respectfully stepped aside.

The city gate was wide open, and the people looked at Jiang Li in awe. In places like Yanjing City, when they come, they are rural people, not to mention city guards. It is normal for ordinary people to look down on them. Jiang Li said a few words. These gatekeepers treated her so respectfully and let her go, which shows the influence of the Jiang family in Yanjing city.

Ye Mingyu also said, "don't mention that your father's labor permit is really useful. I remember when we used to come to Yanjing City, we had to check it several times. It's good for you, so many people, just let it go." He also didn't know whether to speak out or ridicule Yanjing city officials, who were at the helm of the wind.

Jiang Li smiled: "human nature."

A group of people entered the gate in a mighty manner.

Several young generals guarding the city gate were behind them and whispered, "I'm in Beijing. I'm in Beijing. The storyteller in the restaurant finally has a new script. I don't know what kind of disturbance Miss Jiang Er will cause in Yanjing city this time."

"But it's not right," another person touched his chin. "Isn't Miss Jiang Er taking these people to Beijing to overturn the case? Why is there a prison car behind? Who is sitting in the prison car? They are lynching?"

"Hey, don't worry so much. Is that what we can manage about the official family? Even if Miss Jiang Er poked a basket, her father or the chief assistant, it doesn't matter. Let's just watch the excitement."

"What you said is also reasonable. Look at her situation, this time, Yanjing city is really restless."

……

When you enter the city, it becomes more lively.

The streets of Yanjing city are much wider than those of Tongxiang. People come to the streets. The restaurants are built in a tall style. Acrobats and hawkers selling candied gourds can be seen everywhere. For Tongxiang people who went to Beijing for the first time, they were almost dazzled. The older ones are better. Although they also feel strange, they can resist it in the end. The younger one couldn't help but look dazzled and almost tripped when walking.

While Tongxiang people are looking at the rarity, Yanjing people are also looking at the rarity of Tongxiang people. Such a large group of outsiders who are obviously not local people appear in Yanjing, which is really too conspicuous. However, the accompanying people were dressed in ordinary clothes, and even looked a little simple, so they were not royal relatives.

Someone recognized the escort of the chariot and horse team and secretly said to the people around him, "Hey, isn't that the escort of the Shoufu family?"

"Shoufu mansion? Few people in Shoufu mansion leave Beijing. Isn't it Miss Jiang Er, who took a group of villagers to Beijing to overturn the case for the guilty ministers? It's time to return to Yanjing city now."

The news that "Miss Jiang Er came back with Tongxiang county people" swept the whole Yanjing city like a tide. All the streets and alleys heard the news, and the onlookers came out of their homes.

Someone asked, "is Miss Jiang Er going to take these people back to Jiang's house? Although Shoufu's family is large, so many people can't live, I'm afraid. And will Shoufu let these people live in? No matter how kind she is... It may cause trouble!"

"I don't know. Anyway, if I were you, I wouldn't do it."

"Hey, this Miss Jiang family is really out of line. Having this daughter, the family is restless, the family is restless!"

In the Shoufu mansion, Jiang Yuanbai just took off his robe in the study and drank a sip of hot tea sent by Ji shuran. Someone outside came and reported, "master, the second miss is back in Beijing!"

"What?" Jiang Yuanbai's tea drinking action: "when?"

"Just a moment ago, the messenger is now in Wanfeng hall, telling the old man about it. He said that the second young lady was with hundreds of people, and the streets of Yanjing city were half flooded. The streets were full of onlookers, all looking at the second young lady."

Jiang Yuanbai's face turned red and white for a while. He has been smooth since he was an official and a man. Although he is vain, he doesn't like to show off. You should know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the hall. The more you show off, the more annoying it will be. It's good for Jiang Li. There was such a big battle as soon as he returned to Beijing. Now people in Yanjing city are afraid to notice their Jiang family. If Jiang Li did anything out of line, outsiders can chew the root of Jiang Yuanbai's tongue for a lifetime!

"I'll go to Wanfeng hall." Jiang Yuanbai said these words, picked up his coat and left. Ji shuran answered, "I'll go too." A smile flashed across his face.

Before she could make a move, Jiang Li would drill her own way to death. As a woman, everyone knows that women should not meddle in the affairs of the DPRK. Jiang Li is only 15 years old now, and she has been turned upside down. Apart from other things, which good family dares to be such a restless housewife. Jiang Li is a little bit crushed his future may have a good marriage.

Of course, Ji shuran can't wait for her to get worse. It's best to make things too big to clean up, and it's best to compensate herself.

Bloodless, that's the best.

When she came to Wanfeng hall, Mrs. Jiang was talking to Jiang Yuanping.

Jiang Yuanping's habitual smile on his face also disappeared, looking a little serious. Jiang Yuanxing is no longer. Since Jiang yu'e married to the Zhou family as a concubine, Jiang Yuanxing seems to be silent. He used to say two words with Jiang Yuanbai's two brothers. Now he sees him. He just says hello briefly, and there is no other contact.

However, Jiang Yuanbai and his wife didn't care. They were not brothers of a mother's compatriots.

Seeing Jiang Yuanbai coming, Jiang Laofu said humanely, "boss, you know everything."

"Mom," said Jiang Yuanbai, "my son is ashamed that he didn't teach Jiang Li well."

Old lady Jiang sighed. In fact, she thought Jiang Li was a very smart person. Since Jiang Li returned to Jiang's house from Qingcheng Mountain, she looked at Jiang Li's words, deeds and every move. She only felt that Jiang Li might be the smartest and most thorough of the younger generation in the house. But she can't say that she likes Jiang Li very much. Maybe it's because Jiang Li always has a mild alienation.

Just as Jiang Li looked at her, although she was respected, she was not intimate.

The cleverest generation is now confused about such a big event. Lao Fu Jiang Humanitarianism: "I don't want to blame her. After all, she is my granddaughter. But the eldest daughter and the second girl always forget one thing. She is the daughter of our Jiang family. Before doing anything, the first thing to consider is whether the Jiang family will be affected. Now what she does makes the whole City stormy, not to mention the Jiang family, how can you get along with the second child? What will your colleagues think of you, and what will the emperor think? And Youyao, her marriage with the Zhou family has broken, and she has to get married anyway 。 If the second girl makes such a fuss, Youyao's marriage will also be affected. What is she... What is she doing! " Old lady Jiang shook her head repeatedly.

Ji shuran heard about Jiang Youyao and immediately hit the snake with the stick, Lacrimal passage: "Master, my mother is right. Li'er did too much this time. You Yao didn't do anything. First, Zhou Shizi. Now I don't want to do anything. I just hope to find a proper marriage for you Yao again... Li'er is so noisy that any good family in Yanjing dares to get close to us. I can't help it. I'm Li'er's stepmother. I don't dare to blame her on weekdays. I can't care about her, master, are you Her biological father, you have to take care of it! "

Ji shuran wiped her tears with her handkerchief. She wondered if she was really worried about Jiang Youyao. It looked very real. This is very harsh to hear in Jiang Yuanbai and China, He said in a deep voice, "what dare you? You're Mrs. Fang. She called you mother. What dare you care! If she refutes in the future, you'll bring her to see me! I don't believe the Jiang family. No one can cure her. A few days ago, I saw that she came back from Qingcheng Mountain and made progress. Now it seems that she is still as naughty as before. I knew she shouldn't have taken her back to the house!"

Ji shuran was overjoyed when she heard this. Jiang Yuanbai was clearly disappointed in Jiang Li. As long as Jiang Yuanbai's guilt for Jiang Li is no longer, he is completely disappointed, and it is only a matter of time before Jiang Yuanbai dislikes Jiang Li.

Old lady Jiang glanced at Ji shuran. She wouldn't know what idea Ji shuran was playing. She just calmly said, "it's already happened. It's not too late to blame anyone in the future. The top priority is how to do it now."

"Yes, brother," Jiang Yuanping also said, "as soon as pear son returned to Beijing, the whole capital looked at us, and she couldn't continue like this."

"I'm ready," said Jiang Yuanbai, with a heavy face, "As soon as they get back to the house, I'll lock her up, and no one will be allowed to see her! What criminal minister overturns the case, what Tongxiang disturbance, has nothing to do with her facial features, and it has nothing to do with our yuan family! Those people like to make as much trouble as they like, and Jiang Li is not allowed to participate in it! Without Jiang Li, I don't think they can become a climate, and it's all a joke. People in Beijing are laughing and laughing, and the matter will pass away. Don't mention it again in the future! I'll pretend to be my yuan family and sing with a painted face It's just a joke on the audience! "

Everyone was silent. Now it seems that this is indeed the best way. What Jiang Li has done cannot be changed. What she can do is to block what she will do next. Whether Jiang Li's case can be overturned or not, the final result is that the Jiang family has become a laughing stock.

Jiang Li, a little girl, meddles in what political affairs? Xue Huaiyuan is not related to her. Why should he spare no effort to help?

People's saliva, sometimes drowning people, is the most terrible weapon.

Just then, Jiang Jingrui ran in from outside. As soon as he came in, he said, "I heard that Jiang Li is back? Why didn't you see him?"

Jiang Yuanbai said angrily, "not yet."

"Not yet?" Jiang Jingrui was surprised, "according to the previous news, Jiang Li should have arrived at our house. No matter how slow the journey is, it's time to arrive. She won't not return to the house."

"How is it possible? Where can I go if I just return to Beijing and don't go back to the government? Is that a shame!" Jiang Yuanbai angrily said, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Jiang Li is a smart person. She is smart and has ideas. When she decides to do something, she will consider it very thoroughly. Has it not occurred to you that you want to lock her up, so you simply don't go back to your house and plan to live outside?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuanbai was even more angry, which did not pay attention to his father at all. Besides, do you think there's nothing you can do with her if you don't go home? As long as the case is not in court, he will tie Jiang Li back.

Jiang Jingrui shrugged and didn't speak again. Just then, the messenger came back.

This time, he looked much more frightened than the last time. In the winter, the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks. He said, "the old lady, the master and the second lady didn't go back to the house. They went to Chang'an gate."

Chang'an gate?

Jiang Yuanbai's face changed greatly.

"What are they doing at Chang'an gate?" Jiang Jingrui asked curiously.

"Go to Chang'an gate, fight stone lions, and complain." Jiang Yuanbai squeezed out a few words.

……

Chang'an gate is directly in front of the palace.

On special days, the emperor held a ceremony here. On weekdays, officers and soldiers were on guard, and no one came.

In the wide square field, two tall and powerful stone lions stand, and in front of the two stone lions, there is a huge drum of sheep's skin painted red. The drumstick is also on it. I wonder if it has not been moved for a long time, and the drum surface is covered with a thick layer of dust.

The motorcade stopped in front of Chang'an gate, and Jiang Li jumped out of the carriage.

Around the Chang'an gate, there were crowds of onlookers in all directions. When those people saw Jiang Li get off the carriage, their eyes lit up. Jiang Li was the protagonist of the play. When Jiang Li came out, the good play was about to begin.

In the restaurant not far away, there was also a beauty in red. She casually looked at the delicate figure in front of Chang'an gate, and told people around her, "watch tight, don't let people take advantage of the loophole and kill the little guy."

"Yes." Wenji takes orders.

Jiang Li made such a big battle, and when the Lord knew it, he would naturally be angry. It happened that he was not afraid to hide in the crowd and attack Jiang Li secretly. Since it was his own man who was killed by others, there was no light on his face.

Besides, he also wants to see how Jiang Li can win this game, so it is necessary to protect her.

Jiang Li walked to Chang'an gate.

Two young men in front of Chang'an gate stared at her stupidly.

Jiang Li turned around, and ye Mingyu stood beside him. The people of Tongxiang were quiet. When they arrived here, they all knew what to do.

"I thought and thought, this matter can't wait long, so I didn't go back to my house and went straight here. Today's work is finished today. Now that we come to Yanjing today, we can simply do the first thing. Everyone," she pointed to the two stone lions and said, "it's also my first time to come here. This is Chang'an gate."

"At Chang'an gate, fight against stone lions and cry out for grievances." Jiang Li said, "this is the last chance to get justice."

She thought that if she still had one breath and could get out of the Zhuangyuan mansion, the first thing to do was to go here, pick up the drumstick, beat the stone lion, and tell all her grievances. However, the situation at that time may not be feasible. At that time, her opponent was Princess Yongning, and she was only one person. Princess Yongning could easily erase her evidence, just like her life.

Now it's different. As Miss Jiang Er, all people in the capital of Yan, from dignitaries to ordinary people, pay attention to this matter. And there are so many people around her. Yongning's recollection will make it difficult to clean up the traces.

And she will not give Yongning this opportunity.

Facing the people of Tongxiang, Jiang Li said, "in the world, fairness and justice are very rare. Sometimes, it may not be possible to pay your life. Fortunately, we at least got this opportunity, although this opportunity is not in vain." After a pause, she said the following words, "if the people sue the officials like a son to kill his father, they will sit and flog for 50. If they beat the stone lion and sound the grievance drum, they will sit and flog for 50. If they win, they will naturally be happy. If they lose, they will not be able to overturn the case, be punished by the stick, or lose their lives."

The people of Tongxiang looked at each other, and the people of Yanjing City whispered. Even Tong Zhiyang and his party in the prison car were a little surprised. They don't know these reasons.

Jiang Li said: "these, for a fair and just, but may not know the result. Who is willing to stand up? Cry this grievance drum?"

At least half of your life will be lost if you sit fifty. Some people who are weaker may die. In this way, we will win the lawsuit and pay a heavy price.

Jiang Li said calmly, "if no one wants to, let me sing this grievance drum."

The crowd suddenly stirred up.

Her face was indifferent, and she seemed to think it was a matter of course, and she didn't feel that what she had done was wrong. You know, she has nothing to do with Xue Huaiyuan, but she has done a lot for Xue Huaiyuan and is even willing to risk her life.

"How can I bother the second miss?" One person stood out from the crowd and said calmly, "I will follow your excellency to the death and overturn the case for your excellency. It is my duty to be a subordinate. I will sing this grievance drum." But Peng Xiao.

"And me." He Jun also stood up and said, "it's not worth mentioning that we were tortured by dog officers in Tongxiang. I'll come too."

"And us." Gu Dagu and Gu Er also stood up, "it's just a cry for revenge. Our brothers are willing!"

Ye Mingyu laughed and said, "these people have thin arms and thin legs, so it's not necessary. Grandpa, my skin is rough, and I'm not afraid to fight. I haven't had a grievance drum in my life. I'll come!"

"Don't argue with me anymore. How can it be without me?" Butcher Zhang also stood up, "you have little strength. I'm a pig butcher. I'm strong. If you hit me, you can hear the whole Yanjing city. I'll come!"

"I'll come!"

"I'll come!"

"I'll come!"

It was like being infected. One by one, Tongxiang people stood up and rushed to cry this grievance drum.

Even the weak Dai Yun said, "I also want to sound a grievance drum, even if not for Lord Xue, but also for ourselves. These days when Feng Yutang is in Tongxiang, we people are really too bitter, too bitter. Since fairness and justice are so hard to get, what's the value of fifty canes? Second miss, let me come!"

No one flinched.

The two young generals in charge of Chang'an gate changed their dull expressions for the first time. They are guarding two stone lions here. They see many people who want to complain.

If there was no way out and no place to complain of grievances, who would come to such a place? Most of those who came, wandering around for a long time again, went back. Just because I can't afford this fair "price", I'm afraid I'll lose my life before I win. Most of those who did not return were determined to die, thinking of dying with their enemies, as if they had rushed to the execution ground.

However, if they have any choice, they will not take the initiative to play the drum.

It was the first time for the two young players to see so many people, and they wanted to beat the big drum together without flinching. Even the girl held by the weak woman, her eyes are full of firmness and unwavering.

It seems that there is indeed a great injustice, and it seems to be fearless.

The people of Yanjing looked at this head and gradually became silent. Although they are holding the heart of watching the excitement, people's hearts are all flesh. So many people are determined, it seems that things are not so simple.

And Miss Jiang Er is standing in the center of the crowd. She is like the backbone of the crowd. Her short words are the aspirations of the people here. People are willing to follow her because she can bring them hope. Even if the hope is slim and difficult, hope is hope.

Hope can give people the courage to go on, hope to overcome everything.

In the prison car, Feng Yutang suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed loudly, and everyone looked at him.

A Tongxiang people hated him so much that when they saw him laughing, they immediately picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him, fiercely saying, "what a laugh!"

Feng Yutang said, "I laugh at your stupidity! I smile that innocence is kind to me. No matter how this lawsuit is, before it is fought, half of the people in it will fall, and maybe someone else will die! You pay such a high price for me, and my heart is happy and happy!"

After that, he laughed again.

The crowd looked at him angrily, but they had to admit that Feng Yutang was telling the truth. This feeling is really oppressive. Before the villain is punished, the good man will lose something first. Who the fuck will set the rules!

Jiang Li also gently laughed.

Feng Yutang gradually stopped smiling, looked at her in a gloomy way and asked, "what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at Lord Feng's innocence." Jiang Li said faintly, "it's true to sit at fifty, but you forget that there is more than one person who complains. No one has ever said that since it's a case, it's not feasible for all people to sit at fifty."

"There are hundreds of people here. There are more than one person at a time, but they can survive. It's nothing." Jiang Li looked at him sarcastically, "do you think so? Lord Feng."

Feng Yutang gradually couldn't laugh. Instead, it was the laughter in the crowd.

"It's only one and a half! That's nothing. I'll help you fight a few more times! I'm thick skinned and won't hurt!"

"No, I also want to taste what it's like. Don't rob!"

"Can you fight half more? This half fight is really too fucking troublesome. Have a good time!"

In the small building, Ji Hu puffed and laughed.

This way... She really thought of it, but drilling the loopholes of the official system has always been her best thing. She is determined not to suffer. She is shrewd to death.

Jiang Li walked slowly to the huge drum.

Ju Gu sat there quietly, as if he had waited for a long time. The stone lion was majestic and covered with frost and snow. After four seasons, autumn and winter, justice was finally coming.

"Dong!" The dust on the drum surface was blown around by the hammer, almost mixed with the snow in the sky. After the dust, it was Qingming.

"Dong!" The grievances of the two generations finally found the outlet of justice, which was narrow and bottomless. However, carefully follow the light to find out, and finally saw a ray of light.

"Dong!" From dull to clear, from chaos to Qingming, it is just three drums.

The drums rang through the Chang'an gate and startled the whole Yanjing city.

Everyone heard it.
