Twenty days later, Ye Mingyu and his team of carriages had arrived at the gate of Yanjing City.
Although Ye Mingyu claimed to have traveled north and south for many years, the last time he came to Yanjing City was many years ago. When he first arrived, the feeling of strangeness and familiarity hit his face, but it made this tall man appear a little cramped.
The people in Tongxiang had never seen this kind of battle. Just the gate of the city of Yanjing, everyone gave pointers. 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 mighty armor.
"It turns out that this is Yanjing City." Zhang Tufu said cheerfully, suddenly thinking of something, "Master Xue's daughter got married here back then."
Jiang Li glanced at the carriage, Xue Huaiyuan, who was already asleep, felt sad.
When she got married, Xue Huaiyuan kept telling her carefully, except that once he got the chance, he would go to Beijing with Xue Zhao to see her. But Jiang Li also knew that Xue Huaiyuan was busy with his affairs. Although Tongxiang is a small county, there are a lot of big and small things. It is not so easy for Xue Huaiyuan to find a suitable time.
Sure enough, before Xue Huaiyuan arrived at Yanjing, she and Xue Zhao had an accident. When Xue Huaiyuan really arrived at Yanjing City, she was not Xue Fangfei. Xue Huaiyuan also lost his mind and met and didn't know each other.
"Ali, let's go in now." Ye Mingyu said.
Jiang Li recovered: "Okay."
There are also a hundred people in this group. The young general guarding the city gate saw such a large group of people suddenly coming, thinking that they were refugees who had come to flee for their lives. Immediately a few people gathered around, with serious expressions, blocking Ye Mingyu at the door and questioning them carefully.
Jiang Li opened the carriage curtain, and Tong'er helped him get off the carriage. He walked to the young generals and handed over the passage order of the Jiang family. He smiled and said, "Brothers, I am the second lady of the Jiang family. It's the people of Tongxiang. The wrong way to go to Yanjing was to file a lawsuit." She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it over, smiling: "This is a transcript of the complaint. Everyone here has a name on it. I will give you this transcript. After this lawsuit is over, when everyone is out of the city, you will compare them one by one. Okay?"
Several young generals were taken aback, Miss Jiang Er
Isn’t that the rumors in the city of Yanjing a few days ago, saying that Miss Jiang Er brought a group of people in the countryside of Xiangyang, wanting to reverse the case for criminal officials? how? Has it arrived now
Looking at the passage order in hand, it is indeed the Jiang family. The teenager guarding the city gate suppressed his curiosity and returned the communication order to Jiang Li. He took the densely written paper with his name, and opened his side, letting the other end open the city gate to rest assured, saying: "Miss Jiang Er Please pass."
Since it is the young lady of the Jiang family, the Jiang family will accompany everything, but they are not afraid. Then respectfully stepped aside.
The city gate opened wide, and the people saw Jiang Li's eyes in awe. In places like Yanjing City, they are villagers when they come, let alone defenders, it's normal for ordinary people to look down on them. Jiang Li said in a few words, these guards treated her so respectfully and let them go, which shows the power of the Jiang family in the city of Yanjing.
Ye Mingyu was also amazed: "Don't tell me, your father's Laoshizi pass is really useful. I remember when we came to Yanjing City, we had to check it several times. It's good for you, there are so many people, just let it go. He didn't know whether he was speaking without a word or ridiculing all the officials in Yanjing City.
Jiang Li smiled: "Human affection."
The group of people entered the city gate mightily.
Several teenagers guarding the gate of the city were behind and whispered: "I have entered Beijing. The storyteller in the restaurant finally has a new storybook. I don’t know what Ms. Jiang Er will set off in Yanjing this time. Turmoil."
"But it's not right," another person touched his chin. "Didn't Miss Jiang Er bring these people to go to Beijing to reverse the case? Why is there a prison car behind? Who is in that prison car? They are lynching?"
"Hey, don't worry about that much. Official affairs, is that something we can manage? Even if Ms. Jiang Er stabbed something, her father is still the first assistant, it doesn't matter, let's just watch the excitement Just good."
"It also makes sense. Looking at her situation, this time, Yanjing City is really unsettling."
…
Once in the city, it becomes more lively.
The streets of Yanjing City are much wider than those of Tongxiang. There are crowds of people on the streets, high-class restaurants, and jugglers and candied haws vendors everywhere. For the Tongxiang people who went to Beijing for the first time, it was almost dazzled. The older ones are better, although they are also novel, they can bear it in the end. The younger ones couldn't help it anymore, looking dazzled, and almost tripped while walking.
While the Tongxiang people looked at the strangeness, the Yanjing people were also looking at the strangeness of the Tongxiang crowd. Such a large group of out-of-towners who were obviously not locals appeared in Yanjing, and it was so conspicuous no matter how you looked at it. However, the clothes of the accompanying people are very ordinary, and even look a little plain, so they are not relatives of the emperor.
Someone recognized the guards accompanying the chariots, and secretly said to the people around them: "Hey, isn't that the guard at the capital's auxiliary mansion?"
"Shoufu Mansion? Nobody in the Shoufu Mansion has left Beijing. Could it be Miss Jiang Er? Didn't it mean that she brought a group of villagers to Beijing to turn the case for criminal officials? It's just time to return to Yanjing City now."
"Miss Jiang Er came back with Tongxiang county citizens" The news swept the entire Yanjing City like a tide. All the streets and alleys heard the news, and everyone watching the excitement came out of the house.
Someone asked, "Ms. Jiang Er, is this to bring these people back to Jiang Mansion? Although Shoufu's family is big, there are so many people, I'm afraid I can't live. And Shoufu Lord will let these people live in? No matter how kind the heart is... it may also cause trouble!"
"I don't know, if it were me, I would definitely not do it."
"Hey, this young lady of the Jiang family is really outrageous. She gave birth to this girl, and her family was restless, and her family was restless!"
In the Shoufu Mansion, Jiang Yuanbai took off his robe in the study and took a sip of the hot tea that Ji Shuran had brought up. Someone came to report: "Master, the second lady is back to Beijing!"
"What?" Jiang Yuanbai took a cup of tea, "When?"
"Just now, the person reporting the letter is in Wanfengtang, talking to the old lady about this. It is said that the second lady is carrying hundreds of people, the streets of Yanjing City are half flooded, and the streets are full of people watching the excitement. They all looked at the second lady."
Jiang Yuanbai's face blushed and white, he was sleek, like an official, and also like a person. Although vain, he doesn't like to show off. You have to know how many pairs of eyes are staring in the hall, the more popular, the more provocative. Jiang Li is great. Once back to Beijing, there was such a big battle. People in the entire Yanjing city are now aware of their Jiang family. If Jiang Li does something extraordinary, outsiders can chew his Jiang Yuanbo’s tongue for a lifetime. !
"I'm going to have a look at Wanfengtang." After Jiang Yuanbai said this, he picked up the outer clothes and left. Ji Shuran responded, "I'll go too." A smile flashed across her face.
Before she could take a shot, Jiang Li went to death by herself. She is a womanly family who knows that women shouldn't intervene in affairs. Jiang Li is only fifteen years old, and she has been upset. Apart from anything else, a good family dares to be such a restless mistress. Jiang Li, this is a little bit of a good marriage that she might have in the future.
Of course, Ji Shuran hopes that the more trouble she gets, the better, it's better to make the trouble too big to deal with, it's better to lose herself.
It's best if you don't have a bloody sword.
When I arrived at Wanfengtang, Mrs. Jiang was talking to Jiang Yuanping.
The smile on Jiang Yuanping's accustomed face disappeared, and he looked a little serious. Jiang Yuanxing is no longer anymore. Since Jiang Yu'e married and became a concubine in Zhou's family, Jiang Yuanxing appeared to be silent a lot. He and Jiang Yuanbai used to say a few words.
But Jiang Yuanbo didn't care, because they weren't the brothers of the same compatriot.
Seeing Jiang Yuanbai coming, Mrs. Jiang said, "Boss, you know all about it."
"Mother," Jiang Yuanbo said, "The son is ashamed, because he didn't teach Jiang Li well."
Mrs. Jiang sighed. She actually thought Jiang Li was a very smart person. Since Jiang Li returned to Jiang's house from Qingcheng Mountain, she has seen Jiang Li's words, deeds, and every move. She only thinks that Jiang Li may be the smartest and most thorough one among the juniors in this house. But she can't say that she likes Jiangli very much, not why, maybe it is because Jiangli always carries a kind of gentle alienation.
Just like Jiang Li looked at her, although respectful, but not affectionate.
The smartest junior is now confused about this major matter. Mrs. Jiang said: "I don't want to blame her, she is my granddaughter after all. But the boss, the second girl always forgets 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 is doing has caused a lot of trouble in the city, not to mention the Jiang family, how do you and your second child deal with each other? What will your colleagues think of you, what will the emperor think? And You Yao, her relationship with Zhou’s family has been broken You have to marry someone. If Er girl makes such trouble, You Yao's marriage will also be affected. What is she... What is she doing!" Mrs. Jiang shook her head again and again.
When Ji Shuran heard the mention of Jiang Youyao, she immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said with tears: "Master, mother is right, this time Lier did too much. Youyao didn't do anything, first it was Zhou Shizi. , Now I don’t think about anything, I just hope to find a proper marriage for You Yao again... Li'er is so troubled, is there any good family in Yanjing who dares to get close to us, this, this, I really can’t help it. I'm Li'er's stepmother, and I don't dare to blame her on weekdays. I can't control her, sir, you are her biological father, you have to control it!"
Ji Shuran wiped her tears with her veil, wondering if she was really worried about Jiang Youyao, but it seemed so real. This is very harsh to Jiang Yuanbo and China. He said in a deep voice, "What dare you? You are Mrs. Dafang. She calls your mother. If you don't care about it! If she refutes in the future, you will Bring her to see me! I don’t believe that Jiang’s family, no one can cure her. A few days ago, I saw that she had made some progress when she came back from Qingcheng Mountain. Now it seems that she is just as stubborn as before. Time to pick her back home!"
When Ji Shuran heard this, he was overjoyed. Jiang Yuanbai's words were clearly disappointed with Jiang Li. As long as Jiang Yuanbo's guilt for Jiang Li is no longer in his heart, and he is completely disappointed, it will only be a matter of time before Jiang Yuanbai abandons Jiang Li.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Ji Shuran. She didn't know what Ji Shuran's idea was. She just said calmly: "It's already happened, which one to blame, it won't be too late to say it in the future. The top priority is how to do it now."
"Yes, big brother," Jiang Yuanping also said: "As soon as Li'er returned to Beijing, the whole city was watching us, and she can't let her continue like this."
"I'm thinking about it," Jiang Yuanbai's expression was deep, "I will lock her up once they return to the mansion, and no one will be allowed to see her! Whatever criminal officials reverse the case, what Tongxiang turmoil is, they have nothing to do with her features, and nothing to do with our Jiang family! Those people want to make troubles and make troubles, it is Jiang Li that she is not allowed to participate in it! Without Jiang Li, I don’t think they will be able to make a difference. It's all a joke. People in Jingli smiled and the matter was over. No one will mention it in the future! I will pretend to be my Jiang family and sing in a drama, just joking with the audience!"
Everyone was silent, and now it seems that this is indeed the best way. What Jiang Li did can no longer be changed, and what she can do is to stop her from doing what she wants to do next. Regardless of whether Jiang Li's "reversal" can work, the final result is that Jiang's family has become a laughing stock.
Jiang Li, a little girl, is there any political affairs involved? Xue Huaiyuan and her are not relatives, why do they want to help so sparingly
Human saliva stars, sometimes drowning people, is the most terrifying weapon.
As he was talking, Jiang Jingrui ran in from outside, and as soon as he came in, he said, "I heard that Jiang Li is back? Why didn't I see him."
Jiang Yuanbai said angrily: "It hasn't arrived yet."
"Isn't there yet?" Jiang Jingrui was surprised, "According to the previous news, Jiang Li should have gone to our house. No matter how slow the journey, she should be there. She won't go back to the house."
"How is it possible? Where can I go if I just returned to Beijing? Is that fair!" Jiang Yuanbai said angrily, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Jiang Li is a smart person, clever, and has ideas. When she decides to do something, she will definitely consider it very well. Could it be that he had already thought that he would detain her, so he didn't go back to the house and planned to live outside
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuanbo became even more angry, because he didn't put his dad in his eyes at all. Besides, thinking that if you don't go home, you can't do anything with her? As long as the case did not go to court, he would tie Jiang Li back.
Jiang Jingrui shrugged and said nothing. At this moment, the young man who reported the letter came back.
This time, he looked much more panicked than the last time. In the winter, the sweat on his forehead ran down his cheeks. He said, "Old lady, sir, second lady, they did not go back home, they, they went. Chang'anmen."
Changanmen
Jiang Yuanbo's complexion changed drastically.
"What are they going to do at Chang'anmen?" Jiang Jingrui asked curiously.
"Go to Chang'anmen, fight a stone lion, and complain." Jiang Yuanbai squeezed out a few words.
…
Chang'an Gate is right in front of the imperial palace.
On special days, the emperor held a festival here. On weekdays, officers and soldiers guarded it, and no one came.
In the wide square ground, two tall and mighty stone lions stood upright. In front of the two stone lions, there was a giant red-painted sheepskin drum. The drumsticks are also on it. I don't know if it has been a long time since no one has moved, and there is a thick layer of dust on the drum surface.
The convoy stopped in front of Chang'an Gate, and Jiang Li jumped from the carriage.
Around Chang'anmen as the center, crowds of onlookers were everywhere. When the crowd saw Jiang Li getting off the carriage, their eyes brightened. Jiang Li was the protagonist of the play. When Jiang Li came out, the show was about to begin.
In the restaurant not far away, there were also beauties in red, who casually looked at the delicate figure in front of Chang'an Gate, and ordered the people around him, "Be careful, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes and kill the little guy."
"Yes." Wen Ji took the order.
Jiang Li has made such a big battle, and the master knows that he will naturally become anxious. It just so happens that he is not a jealous temper, so he is afraid of hiding in the crowd and secretly attacking Jiang Li. Since he was his own, and his life was taken by others, his face was dull.
Besides, he also wants to see how Jiang Li wins this round, so he must protect her.
Jiang Li walked to Chang'an Gate.
In front of Chang'an Gate, two teenagers stared at her dumbly.
Jiang Li turned around, and Ye Mingyu stood beside him. The people in Tongxiang were quiet. When they got here, they all knew what to do.
"I thought and thought, this matter can't be waited long, so I never went back to the house, and went straight here. Today's matter is over today. Since we came to Yanjing today, we will simply do the first thing. Everyone," she Pointing to the two stone lions, he said, "I'm here for the first time. This is Chang'anmen."
"Chang'anmen, hit the stone lion, sound the drum of injustice." Jiang Li said: "This is the last chance to get justice."
She thought, if she still had a breath back then and was able to get out of the champion's mansion, the first thing to do was to rush here, pick up the drumsticks, beat the stone lion and sing the drums, and confess all her grievances. However, the situation at that time may not be feasible. At that time, her opponent was Princess Yongning, and she had only one person, Princess Yongning, who could easily erase her evidence, just like her life.
Now it's different. As Ms. Jiang Er, all people in Yanjing City, from high-ranking officials to the ordinary people, are all concerned about this matter. And there are so many people beside her. Yongning wanted to clean up the traces this time. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
And she would not give Yongning this opportunity.
Facing the Tongxiang people, Jiang Li said: "In the world, fairness and justice are hard to come by. Sometimes, you may not get it at the expense of your life. Fortunately, we at least got this opportunity, although this opportunity is not in vain. After a pause, she said the following words, "The people sue an official like a son and kill his father and sit on a scorpion fifty. If you beat this stone lion and slam this injustice drum, you will sit on a scorpion fifty. If you win Yes, naturally everyone is happy. If you lose, you won’t be able to reverse the case. If you are tortured with a rod, you will lose your life."
The people in Tongxiang looked at each other, and the people in Yanjing City also whispered to each other. Even Tong Zhiyang and his party in the prison car were a little surprised. None of them knew there were these reasons.
Jiang Li said: "These, change for fairness and justice, but you may not know the result. Who wants to stand up? Sound the drum of injustice?"
Sitting at fifty, you have to lose half your life at least. Some people who are weaker may die. In this case, the lawsuit was won and the price paid would be too heavy.
Jiang Li calmly said, "If no one wants to, I will sing this injustice."
The crowd suddenly became agitated.
Her expression was indifferent, as if she felt that this was a matter of course, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she had done. You know, she has nothing to do with Xue Huaiyuan, but she has done a lot for Xue Huaiyuan, even willing to risk her life.
"How can I bother the second lady?" One person stood up from the crowd and calmly said: "I swear to follow the adults and reverse the case for the adults. It is the duty of the subordinates. This injustice is up to me." It's Peng Xiao.
"And me." He Jun also stood up and said: "Sitting at fifty, compared to the torture we were used by the dog official in Tongxiang, it is really not worth mentioning. I will come too."
"And us." Gu Daguer also stood up, "It's just a drum of grievances, and our brothers are willing!"
Ye Mingyu laughed loudly and said, "These people have thin arms and thin legs. I don't need them. Grandpa, I have rough skin and I'm not afraid to beat them. I haven't beaten the drums in my life. Let me come!"
"Don't fight with me anymore. How can this matter lose me." Zhang Tufu also stood up, "You are weak, I am a pig killer, and if you are strong, if you hit it, you can hear the whole Yanjing City. ,I come!"
"I come!"
"I come!"
"I come!"
It was like being infected, one by one Tongxiang people stood up, scrambling to sound the drum of injustice.
Even the weak Dai Yun said, "I also want to sound the drum, even if it is not for Master Xue, but also for ourselves, the days when Feng Yutang is here, we people in Tongxiang, it is too bitter, too bitter. Fairness and justice are so hard to come by, so what's the point of sitting at fifty? Second Miss, let me come too!"
No one flinched.
The two young generals in charge of Chang'anmen changed their dull expressions for the first time. They are guarding two stone lions here, and they see too many people who want to come and sound the drums of grievances.
If it were not for desperation and grievances, there was nowhere to tell, who would come to this place, most of those who came, wandered around for a long time again, and they all went back. Just because I can't afford this fair "price", I'm afraid I'll lose my life if I haven't won. Most of those who did not go back were determined to die, thinking of going to death with the enemy, as if rushing to the execution ground.
However, whenever there is any choice, they will not take the initiative to sound the drum.
It was the first time that the two teenagers saw so many people, and they were all vying to sound the big drum, without any intention of shrinking. Even the girl who was led by the weak woman had firm eyes and did not waver.
It seems that it is indeed a big grievance, and it seems that it is fearless.
The people of Yanjing looked at this side, and gradually fell silent. Although they have the heart to watch the excitement, their hearts are all flesh-grown. So many people are resolute, it seems that things are not that simple.
And Miss Jiang Er stood in the center of the crowd. She was like the backbone of the crowd. Her few short words were what the people wanted here. People were willing to follow her because she could give them hope. No matter how slim and difficult the hope is, hope is hope.
I hope to give people the courage to go on, and I hope to overcome everything.
In the prison car, Feng Yutang burst into laughter. He laughed openly, everyone's eyes were cast on him.
A Tongxiang citizen disgusted him so much. Seeing him laughing, he immediately picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him, and said viciously: "What a laugh!"
Feng Yutang said: "I laughed at you stupid! I laughed at my innocent and treated me kindly, no matter what the lawsuit is, if there is no fight, the people in it will fall halfway, and maybe some people will die! You have to pay for me. At such a high price, I am so happy and overwhelmed!"
After all, he laughed again.
The crowd looked at him angrily, but they had to admit that what Feng Yutang said was the truth. This feeling is really embarrassing. The good guys lose their things before the wicked get punished. Whose damn rules!
Jiang Li also smiled lightly.
Feng Yutang gradually stopped smiling, looked at her darkly, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at Master Feng's innocence." Jiang Li said flatly: "It's not fake to sit at fifty, but you forgot, there are more than one drumming drums. No one has ever said that since it's a case, everyone. Adding up to fifty is not feasible."
"There are hundreds of people here, each of them is too many, but they can survive it. It's nothing." Jiang Li looked at him mockingly: "You said that? Master Feng."
Feng Yutang gradually couldn't laugh anymore. Instead, it was the laughter from the crowd.
"It's only one and a half! That's okay, I'll help everyone out a few more times! I'm thick-skinned, it doesn't get in the way!"
"Don't, I also want to taste what it is like, everyone is not allowed to grab it!"
"Could it be more than half a hit? This half-and-half hit is really fucking too frustrating. Have fun!"
In the small building, Ji Heng chuckled.
This way... She really came up with it, but she has always been best at exploiting the leaks of the official system. She is determined not to suffer, she is shrewd to death.
Jiang Li slowly walked to the giant drum.
The giant drum was sitting there quietly, as if it had been waiting for a long time. The stone lion was majestic and covered with frost and snow. After passing through the four seasons of autumn and winter, justice was finally coming.
"Boom!" The dust on the drum surface was scattered around by the heavy hammer, almost mixing with the snow in the sky. After the dust passed, it turned out to be Qingming.
"Boom!" The grievances of the two worlds finally found the righteous exit, which was narrow and bottomless, but after carefully following the light to find out, finally saw a ray of sky light.
"Boom!" From dull to clear, from chaos to Qingming, it was just three drums.
The sound of drums rang through the entire Chang'an Gate and alarmed the entire Yanjing City.
Everyone heard it.
