"Ari?"
Ashun was shocked and looked at the person in surprise. Why, why does this Xue Xiancheng know that the person here is Miss Biao? Still calling so intimacy
Jiang Li was also taken aback. She lowered her head slowly, her breathing became lighter, and she looked at the person she was holding. Father... Didn't you lose your mind? There was a burst of ecstasy in her heart.
But the color of ecstasy soon faded.
Xue Huaiyuan opened his eyes, but did not look at her. What he saw was the stone wall or the stains splashed on the stone wall. He struggled away from Jiang Li's hand, and quickly retracted back to Fang Cai's corner, picking up one on the ground. Holding the straw, holding it tightly in his arms, fearing that someone might snatch it away, muttered in his mouth: "Ari...Ari..."
Jiang Li's nose was sour, and she was about to cry again. Father was not awake. The reason why he called "Ari" was because this name occupies a very important part of his life. Even after going crazy, he chewed like this.
Also, she thought to herself that even if her father hadn't lost his mind now, when she stood in front of him, she might not be able to recognize it. She is not "Ari", she has become "Jiang Li".
"Miss Biao?" Ashun was a little worried.
Jiang Li turned his head and said, "I'm fine." Looking at Xue Huaiyuan who was shrinking in the corner and muttering to himself, there was another colic in his heart. She knew that she shouldn't ask for so much, at least her father was still alive, and it was a blessing in misfortune that their father and daughter would have a chance to see each other in their lifetime. But seeing such a father, Jiang Li could not wait to slash Shen Yurong and Yong Ning with all his might. Even so, it was hard to relieve the pain.
She said: "I will take Xue Xiancheng out. Xue Xiancheng is too weak. I beg Uncle Zhang to find the doctor with the best medical skills in Tongxiang. Let Xue Xiancheng take a look."
Zhang Tufu hated Feng Yutang when he saw his lifesaver like this. Hearing Jiang Li's order, without saying a word, immediately went out to find a doctor.
Ashun originally wanted to help Xue Huaiyuan, Jiang Li had already helped Xue Huaiyuan up. She didn't dislike Xue Huaiyuan's dirty body, and carefully held his shoulders and held his arms. Today's Xue Huaiyuan, like a two or three-year-old child, danced with his hands, and accidentally patted Jiang Li's face with his hand. Dirty handprints suddenly appeared on his white and tender face.
Ashun couldn't stand it, and said, "Miss Biao, I'll do it."
"I'll do it." Jiang Li only said two words, but in an undoubted tone, Ashun's stretched out hand shrank back. This young lady has always been very patient, always gentle and gentle with Ye family and strangers. But it was the first time Ashun saw Jiang Li's patience, as if Xue Huaiyuan was the most precious person in the world to her, and she was willing to devote all her efforts to take care of him.
Jiang Li helped Xue Huaiyuan out of the dungeon.
Ashun asked: "Miss Biao, the rest of these people..."
Feng Yutang does not distinguish between good and evil, and only seeks profit. The prison cell may not have been wronged and imprisoned like Xue Huaiyuan, who is a good scapegoat. Xue Huaiyuan has come out, what should the rest of the people do
"Nothing." Jiang Li said: "People will send the file later. If there are any doubts, I will bring it out. Feng Yutang, the prime minister of Tongxiang County, has come to an end. After this case, the imperial court will soon send a new county prime minister to introduce these cases. The retrial will not be wronged."
Ashun relaxes.
When he walked to the gate of the county government, Xue Huaiyuan seemed to see something terrible, and suddenly he didn't want to go forward, shouting and struggling. Jiang Li looked very sad, and A Shun hurriedly asked people to pull Xue Huaiyuan, but didn't dare to exert too much effort-Xue Huaiyuan was too thin, and they were afraid that the movements would be too heavy and Xue Huaiyuan's bones would be broken.
Ye Mingyu saw Jiang Li from a distance, and walked over and said, "Ali, are you back so soon? Feng Yutang was beaten to death. If it weren’t for seeing him, I would let someone stop him. He has to explain his life today. No. Hey, you brought Xue Xiancheng back..." Ye Mingyu suddenly stopped, and he also saw Xue Huaiyuan's embarrassed appearance.
Anyone who knows Xue Huaiyuan in the past will be speechless when seeing him look like this. The good official who was always righteous and blessed with two sleeves is now degenerate.
Ye Mingyu was taken aback for a while before he said, "Xue Xiancheng is too pitiful..."
Jiang Li said, "Uncle, I asked Uncle Zhang to invite the doctor. First, let him show to Xue Xiancheng. Xue Xiancheng is now very weak, so he has to go back to Xiangyang and go to Yanjing. I'm afraid it will be difficult." He glanced at the other end and said: "There are many prison vehicles in the dungeon. Find one and install it for Master Feng. You don't need to wait for the transfer order from Xiangyang Tong Zhiyang, just go back to Xiangyang."
Ye Mingyu nodded subconsciously and asked, "Those officials on Dongshan can also let them out now. Feng Yutang's people are now being caught and running, they are not in any danger anymore."
Jiang Li nodded: "Thank you, uncle."
Ye Mingyu noticed that Jiang Li's mood seemed very bad, so he was relieved to think about it. Since Jiang Li worked so hard to rescue Xue Huaiyuan from prison, he naturally had friendship with Xue Huaiyuan, and now Xue Huaiyuan looks like this, he is an outsider. I looked so sad, let alone Jiang Li.
Hey, how come there are so many people in this world
…
Doctor Zhong, who treated Peng Xiao and the others, was invited to see Xue Huaiyuan again this time.
Feng Yutang has already become a "prisoner", and Doctor Zhong is not afraid of being retaliated. The doctor who gave Xue Huaiyuan a treatment was also very careful.
No matter, when he walked out of the house, Jiang Li asked, "Doctor Zhong, how is it?"
"Miss," Doctor Zhong shook his head: "The old man has written about the scars on his body, and he has written about the pharmacy and let people take medicine. Master Xue has suffered a lot this time, and it is a miracle to be able to get through this time. But after all, age He is old and weak, but fortunately, I wonder if Feng Yutang’s beast deliberately wanted to save Master Xue’s life and did not let Master Xue suffer fatal injuries. Although torturing people, if you take good care of them, you may not get better if you take time."
Jiang Li hesitated and asked, "Dare to ask Dr. Zhong, Master Xue has lost his mind and can't recognize people. One day, will he wake up?"
"This old man can't guarantee it," Dr. Zhong waved his hand again and again, "The old man is just a small doctor in Tongxiang. I really can't guarantee. I forgive the old man's incompetence. I heard that the lady is going to take Master Xue to Yanjing. There are so many scholars, and perhaps a genius doctor can be found there, so that Master Xue can regain his former sanity."
Jiang Li was silent.
Doctor Zhong is not the first doctor to say this. In fact, she has asked many doctors in Tongxiang. Maybe Xue Huaiyuan sober, none of them.
She very much hoped that her father would wake up and call her "Ari" again. For this, she could pay all the price.
"I see." Jiang Li said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhong." Doctor Zhong was helpless, and she couldn't help others. Although she was disappointed in her heart, she had to cheer up and face the next thing to do.
Outside the house, the Tongxiang people who came to visit Xue Huaiyuan were already crowded. Aunt Chunfang wiped her tears and said, "How did the adult become like this..."
"It would be nice if we stood up earlier, I blamed me..." Dai Yun held Ping An's hand, regretting, "I didn't know that the adults suffered such torture."
"Feng Yutang is not a human being!" Zhang Tufu said: "If it is not useful to keep him now, I would kill him with a single blow!"
Jiang Li crossed the crowd and walked inside. Xue Huaiyuan sat on the bed, playing with the wooden figure in his hand like a child, smiling happily. Around, the two brothers Peng Xiao, He Jun, and Gu Dagu had painful eyes.
Seeing Jiang Li coming in, Peng Xiao looked at her and asked, "What does the doctor say?"
Jiang Li shook his head.
The eyes of several people were immediately disappointed.
"Nothing, we will go to Yanjing soon." Jiang Li said, "When I get to Yanjing, I will seek a genius doctor again to treat Master Xue."
"It's all the bastard's fault Feng Yutang who made you look like this!" Gu Da gritted his teeth and said, "I must break his body into pieces!"
"Feng Yutang is at best a dog, and the real person is still behind." Jiang Li slowly said: "Whoever makes Master Xue suffer this, must pay the price of being retaliated."
"My brothers have already guessed that Feng Yutang was instigated by others, but they don't know who the person behind it is and why they are cruel to the adults. Please let me know." He Jundao.
"When you arrive in Yanjing, you naturally know who the person behind is. In fact, this case may not be able to hurt her, but even if it doesn't cost her life, it's good to take her down. Four of you, this is it. The witnesses of the case, the other party will do everything in order to silence their mouths. The enemy you are facing may be an enemy a hundred times more insidious and terrifying than Feng Yutang. You have to think clearly..."
"We have already figured it out clearly," Peng Xiao interrupted Jiang Li's words: "We must avenge the grown-ups, whether we succeed or not."
Jiang Li slowly laughed: "Okay, then I'll rely on a few people."
"We rely on Miss Jiang Er."
…
It was decided that without waiting for Tong Zhiyang's transfer order, it was only a quarter of an hour to take these Tongxiang people back to Xiangyang the next day and go directly to Yanjing.
After the decision was made, Ye Mingyu sent someone to clean up. The witnesses, dossiers and important evidence in the county office related to the Xue Huaiyuan case were all collected and taken away. Everyone slept very early because of the departure on the next day.
Xue Huaiyuan, who has lost his mind, is like a child. It takes a lot of effort to coax him to sleep. This is also done by Jiang Li himself. Ye Mingyu and the others wanted Jiang Li to rest, but Xue Huaiyuan only needed Jiang Li to coax him and others came to coax him, and he seemed very frightened. Only when Jiang Li was in front of him, did he calm down.
Jiang Li was also very patient with him, not even the slightest complaint. Bai Xue and Tong'er looked at them, and they had an illusion that when Jiang Yuanbai was old, Jiang Li would not be so patient with Jiang Yuanbo. For the Jiang family, although Jiang Li was gentle, but with a kind of polite alienation, the two maids could feel that she did not invest too much sincerity.
But for Xue Huaiyuan, she was sincere and gentle.
After coaxing Xue Huaiyuan to sleep, Tonger asked Jiang Li: "Girl, have you gone back to rest?"
Even Ye Mingyu went to bed.
Jiang Li looked outside. It was strange. In the few days she came to Tongxiang, Tongxiang, which had not snowed for decades, had snow twice, including tonight.
The wind was blowing from outside, mixed with snowflakes, Jiang Li put on a cloak and said, "No, I'll go see Feng Yutang."
Feng Yutang? Tong'er and Bai Xue looked at each other, Jiang Li had already walked out of the house.
The white rabbit fur cloak was draped on her body, and she put down the hat, leaving only a palm-sized face. Under the lantern, the small face became paler, almost the same color as jade. She walked unhurriedly, and quickly, she walked to the corner of the yard.
In the prison car, Feng Yutang curled up into a ball.
It was snowing outside, and the prison car was not put into the house. Even though Feng Yutang shouted hoarse, no one came to see him. As a last resort, he was so cold that he had to shrink into a ball, just like Xue Huaiyuan who had been shrinking in the dungeon.
At night, the yard was extremely quiet. Jiang Li’s footsteps on the snow made a rustling sound. Feng Yutang looked like a frightened rabbit. He suddenly raised his head and saw Jiang Li’s first glance. He subconsciously wanted to call for help, but The next moment, it paused again.
He knew that even if he said that, the young lady who looked gentle and pure in front of him would not give him a quilt. It could even be said that the reason why he has fallen to this point is that he was still in the prison car to fend for himself. , All thanks to the girl in front of you.
She is a devil with a face like a fairy boy.
Jiang Li stopped in front of the prison car and looked at Feng Yutang quietly. This time, she didn't laugh, as if she had taken off her gentle disguise, and in the night, she revealed her real, another self.
Feng Yutang asked with a dumb voice: "What is Miss Jiang Er doing here?"
"Come and see you." Jiang Li said.
"Look at me?" Feng Yutang laughed, and he said, "Miss Jiang Er, do you know what it is to instigate the people to imprison the imperial order officer? Even your father can't save you." The more fear in his heart, the more he is. To say these words, as if you can use these words to convince yourself that you don't have to be afraid. But he knew in his heart that he was afraid of Jiang Li, fearing from the bottom of his heart.
"Soon it will not be the imperial court official." Jiang Li said lightly: "Xiangyang's transfer order will come down soon, and the Xue family case will be reviewed. We will go to Yanjing together. Of course, it's not just for Xue County. Cheng's vindication is for you." Jiang Li said: "What Master Feng did in Tongxiang and put it in Yanjing is not a trivial matter. As for us, Master Feng who was imprisoned before the transfer, or after the transfer. No one knows the arrested Master Feng anyway, right?"
She didn't laugh, but when she said it lightly, it made people feel more fierce under her calmness.
A trace of weakness flashed in Feng Yutang's eyes. He could not intimidate Jiang Li, but would be intimidated by Jiang Li. But why is a 15 or 16-year-old girl who seems to be able to take into account all the details. If she counts a person, she will never miss any of them. The ends of the world, all directions, are her traps. Stepped in, dead, nothing more, she would wipe the ashes on the trap so that people would never see the trace again.
Feng Yutang plucked up the courage and said: "Second Miss, I know you are the daughter of Mrs. Jiang, and you are not afraid of anything. But for some things, why do you want to fight so hard for a little person? Although I am a little person, my master..."
"Princess Yongning, your master." Jiang Li interrupted him.
Feng Yutang was stunned.
His master was Princess Yongning, he thought that no outsider knew about it. How could Jiang Li know? And knowing that she still dare to do it? Do you dare to ruin Princess Yongning
"Master Feng, there is something you need to know," Jiang Li stared at him and slowly said, "For you, a person who tortured Xue Xiancheng, I will treat you like this. Princess Yongning is the instigator behind you. , What would I do to her?"
"I deal with you just to deal with her."
"He is Princess Yongning..." Feng Yutang said tremblingly, "Is Cheng Wang's younger sister?"
"Is Cheng Wang's sister?" Jiang Li mocked: "Then I will deal with Cheng Wang. If you say Cheng Wang is the son of Princess Liu, I will deal with Cheng Wang. When you encounter ghosts and kill ghosts, you will kill gods. Whoever moves Xue Huaiyuan, I will let someone pay the debt! So," Jiang Li said contemptuously, "Don't talk about Princess Yongning any more. The four words Princess Yongning are the reason for me to take action. The four words Princess Yongning, It's the beginning of the death knell!"
Feng Yutang only felt weak in his hands and feet.
In the night, Jiang Li's eyes were very bright, he had no doubt, he saw a deep hatred in it. It is fierce that grows wildly like weeds, and is usually hidden under a gentle appearance. At this moment, it is all exposed.
She didn't hesitate to expose the other side of herself, she could only explain one thing, he was about to die, a mortal person, she didn't need to hide her secret.
"Master Feng rest assured, I won't let you die before the matter is over." She said: "I will let you live well, just like you did to Master Xue."
She gave him a cold look, took the lantern, and turned away.
In the snow, the silver-white cloak almost blended with the snow color, leaving only the deep and shallow footprints to remind people of passing by.
Feng Yutang only felt that he was colder than before. I don't know if it is because of the snow or her.
…
Jiang Li did not return to the house after leaving Feng Yutang's prison car.
Inexplicably, she didn't have any sleepiness, and her mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
My father has become like this, and I don't know how to wake up. Bring people back to Yanjing, confront Princess Yongning, and the battle with Princess Yongning officially kicked off. This is not a simple matter, and after Jiang Yuanbai knew what she had done in Tongxiang, Ji Shuran would seize the opportunity to blow some pillow breeze. She couldn't fully estimate what obstacles she would encounter in Jiang's house.
Going one way and another, it's a new thorny road.
She sat on the big rock by the pond, thinking slowly, until Tong'er by her side exclaimed, and when she looked up, she saw beauty coming with an umbrella in the snowy night.
Ji Heng wore a large cloak with crimson embroidered black peony, rugged and delicate, completely balanced. He finally didn't take the gold folding fan today, maybe he put it away. He only took a plain white silk umbrella and walked from a distance in the snow.
Deeper and more revealing, he seemed to be a bright color, lighting up the cold world.
"Master Guo." Jiang Li did not stand up, nor did she salute. Today, she is really tired.
Ji Heng walked up to Jiang Li, stopped, and put the umbrella on her head.
His actions can be regarded as gentle and passionate, while the girls are beautiful and the men are coquettish, and they are unusually harmonious. Tong'er and Bai Xue were stunned, but they even forgot to stop them.
"So sad?" He smiled and said, "It's not like your temperament."
"So gentle?" Jiang Li looked at him: "It's not like your temper."
Ji Heng laughed: "You say that to me, I'm very sad, I treat you with mercy, but you say I am not gentle."
"I'm just flattered."
Ji Heng asked: "Now you can tell me why you want to save Xue Huaiyuan, even if you are an enemy of Princess Yongning." He said: "You and the Xue family should have nothing to do with each other."
"Grandpa Guo," Jiang Li said, "I don't intend to hide anything from you, because even if I don't tell you, you will find out by yourself sooner or later. So I will tell you the reason for this matter, and wait until I'll have my life. When the day comes to your hands, I will tell you everything, and it's a beginning and an end. You won't force me, do you?"
She raised her head, her eyes were purer than Xue.
"Why do you always show weakness to me?" Ji Heng puzzled, "Do I look like a person who can pity and cherish jade? Even..." He looked up and down Jiang Li and said, "Are you Jiaohua?"
Jiang Li asked: "Am I?"
"You are a piranha." Ji Heng said.
Jiang Li laughed.
When the two of them first met, they were jealous and wary of each other. Later, when Jiang Li suddenly said Ji Heng's plan and put this life in front of Ji Heng. It was as if they had exchanged a secret with each other, and felt a sense of alliance with each other.
Of course, this may also be Jiang Li's illusion, but whether Ji Heng is acting or sincere, the two of them can still sit together and talk so peacefully at one time.
"Tomorrow, I will go back to Xiangyang and go to Yanjing." Jiang Li said: "On this road, perhaps Princess Yongning will get news to chase him down, maybe Ji Shuran's people will not die, and the obstacles along the way will be troubled by the Lord of the Kingdom to help clear them out."
"Do you treat me as your guard?" Ji Heng was funny, "You are not afraid that I will kill you."
"My life is yours, it's yours." Jiang Li shamelessly, "Isn't it normal to kill some robbers in order to protect your own things?"
The hidden guards of Ji Heng who were hiding in the dark were all dumbfounded. Although Jiang Li's words didn't make any sense at all, but it sounded like this, she felt that what she said was reasonable and there was no reason to refute it.
"I don't seem to be taking your life," Ji Heng said: "It's a burden."
"Maybe the cumbersome will help you someday." Jiang Li smiled.
She was serious, not like a joke at all. Ji Heng said, "If you know what I do, you won't say that. Now," he chuckled, "Tong Yan Wuji."
Jiang Li is now at the best age for a girl, but in Ji Heng's eyes, she is only a "child".
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng, and calculated that if the age of the previous life is added, Ji Heng and herself are considered to be about the same age. But at such a young age, this man is not just like a young man, he seems to have countless secrets, and every secret is very heavy. When he himself got used to this kind of secrets, when he looked at others, the facts that many others in the world seemed unacceptable were of little importance to him.
Everyone has his own secret.
Jiang Li said: "Who knows? Maybe, on that day, maybe my decision was beyond the grandfather's expectation, didn't it? But I have to live until that day."
Speaking of life and death, the girl doesn't seem to mind at all, but this kind of nonsense is not caused by being too far away, but by understanding, thoroughness, and carelessness after understanding. She doesn't think she will live long, but she is also not afraid that she will not live long.
Ji Heng looked at her interestingly. Jiang Li is a girl with a secret. Seeing what she does, she is not like a person who gives up lightly. It is like a wild grass crazily surviving in a crack, fierce and full of vitality. But when she said that she would give up her life, she was also free and easy. Just like her life, walking into this world just to do one thing. For this matter, she worked hard to live, and once the matter was over, she didn't care about anything, including her own life.
"This play is very long," Ji Heng said with a chuckle, "I would be a pity if you were gone."
"Really?" Jiang Li turned her head to look at her, shaking her feet gently under her skirt, like a carefree girl, she also smiled: "It's a pity to make Grandpa Guo feel it, and it's also my honor. If Lord Guo can enter the play and you and I sing the same play, maybe the ending of this play will be even more happy for everyone."
Ji Heng's beautiful long eyes narrowed: "Little guy, why do you always want to pull me into the game, I said, I'm not into the game."
Yes, he doesn't enter the play, because the biggest play in the world is that he manipulates it behind the scenes. Even the Ninth-Five Lord in the Jinluan Temple was played in the palm of his hand. The situation is treacherous. All forces are ups and downs, vying for power, but in the end they go round and round, but they don't know who made the wedding clothes for
"I want to stand on the side of Grandpa Guo. At least not to be an enemy of Grandpa Guo." She was rare to be well-behaved.
In Jiang's family, the head of Beiyan's civil servants, this time the court is turbulent, Jiang's family must stand in line. This has been the case since ancient times. If you stand on the right side, you will be able to take advantage of your descendants. If you stand on the wrong side, no one can predict the consequences. There is nothing regrettable about winning or losing, it's all the way you choose.
Not to mention that Cheng Wang is Yongning's younger sister. From the point of view of possibility alone, Jiang Li is also willing to choose one who doesn't seem to lose. Ji Heng was ruthless and calm, which made people feel terrible.
Such a person is likely to be the final winner.
She has changed her strategy a long time ago and will not head-on, since she can't get along well, then show her attitude and start standing in line early.
Regardless of Ji Heng's disagreement, it is a good thing to be able to bluff his opponents.
Ji Heng looked at her with a smile, as if she had insight into all her attempts, and brushed a snowflake that fell on her sleeve, and said, "Actually, you don't have to pretend to be a well-behaved person, Ari."
