Under the cover of green trees, there is a quiet and elegant farmhouse. In the farmhouse, two pretty little girls are busy preparing lunch like hardworking bees. They are Xia Yingying's two personal maids. In fact, it is not accurate to say that, because both of them came from extraordinary backgrounds.
Their fathers were both leaders of the Yi tribe, but the tribe their fathers led was a vassal of the Xia family. In other words, the head of the Xia family is a big chieftain, and their father is a young chieftain. There is a subordinate relationship between the two chieftains.
In their own tribe, they are also as noble as princesses, but they are sent to the Xia family by their families to be the playmates of the little princess of the Xia family. It is somewhat similar to accompany the queen and princess here.
They were sent to Xia's house by their father. In fact, they didn't need to be servants. Their main task was to be Xia Yingying's playmates. This would also deepen the relationship between the two tribes. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone. However, in order to avoid Gojiglong, the three of them hid here, and some things had to be done by themselves.
Fortunately, even though these Yi girls are noble, they are not so delicate that they can't touch the spring water with their fingers. Chen Xing Gongyue pampers her like a moon, even if she wants to do something, she has no chance.
Miss Xiaolu was killing chickens in the kitchen, because Miss Xia said she wanted to try stewed chicken with mushrooms. The mushrooms were picked by Miss Xia herself from the mountain, but they have been secretly replaced by Xiaolu, because the mushrooms picked by Miss Xia are colorful and very bright, and eating them can poison an elephant to death. Xiaowei was washing mushrooms in the yard. The freshly soaked mushrooms had to be washed several times before they could be washed clean.
None of them was with the young lady. Although the folk customs in the southwestern border are aggressive, the government's government orders are difficult to implement, and the security situation is poor, but such things as bullying women rarely happen, whether it is a tribe or a village, lynching is more legal than the official law for this kind of thing. It is more stringent, because the rules established by folk conventions have a stronger binding force on people than the law.
Furthermore, the most powerful tribe in the area is the Yi nationality. Even if there are really blind people who have the audacity to have unreasonable thoughts about Miss Xia, as long as the lady announces her name, it can scare people out of their courage. The eldest lady of the Xia family in Hongfenghu, and the niece of the Song family who is the second-ranked An Songtian and Yang among the Four King Kongs, the person who dared to touch her has not yet been born, unless it is a ghost.
The courtyard door was knocked open suddenly, and Xia Yingying ran in from outside in a hurry, her face was pale and nervous, as if she had seen a ghost.
Xiaowei stood up in surprise and asked, "Yingying, what's the matter with you."
Xia Yingying swung a pair of windmill-like long legs, rushed to her side, grabbed her wet hand, and jumped up and down, shouting: "Ghost! There is a ghost!"
Xiaowei said in amazement: "Huh?"
Before she could ask any more questions, Xia Yingying had already let go of her hand, and rolled towards the kitchen door like a windmill. Xiaolu was holding a chicken in his left hand and a knife in his right. He poked his head out from the kitchen door and said curiously: "Yingying , how do you..."
Xia Yingying rushed over, grabbed her wrist, and shook it desperately: "Ghost! I see a ghost!"
"Leng Leng Leng..."
She let go of Xiaolu, and the golden pheasant took the opportunity to escape and ran a few steps staggeringly in the yard. With its two wings restored to function, it leaped with all its strength, jumped over the low wall, and escaped in the air. Only two beautiful pheasant feathers fell.
Xiaolu was shaking her hand frantically, and the sharp kitchen knife was also taken off her hand, and it was chopped on the threshold with a "duh". Xiaolu was taken aback, and said angrily, "What the hell are you talking about! It's a bright day..." Before she could finish speaking, Xia Yingying let go of her hand, and swished into the room.
Xiaolu and Xiaowei looked at each other in a daze, and chased after them together. Xia Yingying pulled back a quilt, her head was buried in the quilt, her buttocks were sticking out, and her buzzing voice came from the bottom of the quilt: "I Very kind, I am a very good person, please don’t look for me, please, please, Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable…”
Xiaolu tore off the quilt angrily, and Xia Yingying screamed again in fright, and when she saw it was the two of them, her shock faded a little. Xiaolu and Xiaowei sat down by the kang, surrounded her, Xiaolu said: "Yingying, what's the matter with you, what's wrong with you in broad daylight?"
Xia Yingying said in horror: "There really is a ghost, really, I saw it with my own eyes."
Xia Yingying stammered about the situation she encountered, Xiaolu and Xiaowei looked at each other, and made judgments in unison: "Someone is teasing Miss!" Xiaolu tightened his belt, reached out and took off the machete on the wall , said angrily: "I'll go out and have a look!"
Seeing that Xia Yingying was scared out of her wits, Xiaowei quickly hugged her in her arms, stroked her hair, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, we Yingying are the bravest, a beautiful girl like us Yingying, Even ghosts can't bear to hurt you, can they? Be good, pet your fur, you won't be scared..."
Xia Yingying huddled in Xiaowei's arms and shivered, like a little girl who hadn't grown up. In this situation, it was difficult for anyone to see her to connect her with the "Three Tigers of Shuixi". She was obviously like a cute cat. However, she is indeed one of the three famous tigers—the rouge tiger who made Shui Xihao so famous.

Ye Xiaotian hurried back to his residence, after a while Hua Yunfei and Dongdong came back with Yaoyao, Hua Yunfei curiously asked him about the past, Ye Xiaotian said with lingering fear: "Hey! Don't mention it, just now I went to the forest for convenience, see There was a Yi girl selling pears by the small bridge at the fork in the road. I thought that Lao Mao was having a fever and coughing. Why don’t I buy some pears to moisten his throat? Who knew I was picking pears when suddenly a mad dog came from behind me. Run over there, fortunately that dog is crazy, it can only run in a straight line, and it is too anxious to be chased, and it didn't pay attention to me, otherwise it would bite it off, and the consequences would be disastrous."
Yaoyao bit her little finger, wondering: "But the one chasing brother Xiaotian is obviously a beautiful sister."
Ye Xiaotian said: "That girl is selling pears. I was startled when I saw that mad dog, and subconsciously dodged forward, knocking her into the river. You don't know, that girl has six grandfathers. , more than 20 uncles, eighty or ninety cousins, who can afford to provoke such a family? If her family members are unreasonable, it will be difficult for me to get away.
Thirty-six stratagems, walking is the best stratagem, so naturally I slipped away. Be careful these few days. If you see a beautiful pear seller when you go out, you must stay away from her. "
Yaoyao nodded obediently, like a chicken pecking at rice. In the next few days, Ye Xiaotian really didn't go out anymore, but Hua Yunfei went to buy what he needed. At this time, the people who were sent to Tongren by the Criminal Division also came back, and they were naturally in vain.
When Xu Boyi got the news, he went to discuss with Li Qiuchi. Ye Xiaotian had already arrived in Guiyang City, but how to find it in such a huge city? Since he is here to participate in the tribute examination, he will definitely show up when the exam is due, so it is better to take him down on the spot then.
The plan has been decided, Xu Boyi still went back to study to prepare for the exam, and Li Qiuchi reported the news to chieftain Yang Yinglong through the people of the Yang family in Bozhou who stayed in Guiyang, saying that a man named Ye Xiaotian was accused of murder, and in order to escape, he intended to blame Jing The Yang family in Zhouzhou, please pay attention to Chieftain Yang.
Li Qiuchi did this, firstly because he wanted to sell better than Yang Yinglong, and secondly because he wanted to use Yang Yinglong's power to put pressure on the government. When people from the Yang family in Jingzhou come to inquire, they will place the murder charge on Ye Xiaotian's head.
But he didn't want Yang Yinglong to become interested after he got the news. He knew that the Venerable would not be in charge of the teaching affairs during his travels, so he originally wanted to make a place for Ye Xiaotian, and use Yaoyao to influence Ye Xiaotian in the future, but he didn't expect Ye Xiaotian to cause a lawsuit.
After Yang Yinglong thought about it, he wrote a letter to the Yang family in Jingzhou, and at the same time rushed to Guiyang himself. He intends to wait and see what happens, and then rescue Ye Xiaotian when he is in trouble. In this way, won't he be able to show his favor to him
But he didn't want to mention that the Criminal Division sent officers to Tongren to arrest Ye Xiaotian, and a person was alarmed, and this person was Zhang Duo, the magistrate of Tongren. Zhang Renxiong and Ye Xiaotian looked at Mung Dou like crap - right, he felt that this young man was very promising, and he would definitely be able to take the exam to earn some face for him.
Well, Ye Xiaotian became a murderer before he passed the exam. He personally "tried" the Sanlizhuang case, so denying his trial result would be to lose his face? Besides, Ye Xiaotian is an integral part of his "face project".
Zhang Duo was very angry, and immediately wrote a letter, explaining the "causes and consequences" in detail, and sent someone to Shui Xitian's house. Although the Tian family has lost their positions as Sizhou and Sinan Propaganda and Comfort Envoys, they still have great influence on the old land of the Tian family. The Tongren Zhang family still regards themselves as Tian's retainers. Naturally, this matter must be entrusted to the Tian family.
Tian Binfei and Tian Miaowen are currently in charge of the younger generation of the Tian family. The two brothers and sisters are outsiders and insiders. They are known as outstanding figures in the younger generation of the four major families after Yang Yinglong. The letter was delivered to Tian Miaowen.
The Tian family has now lost the legitimate right to control the old land, relying on the strong influence of the Tian family's management of Sizhou and Sinan for thousands of years to exert influence on the old ministers who ruled the various places. Naturally, Zhang Duo's entrustment cannot be taken lightly. .
Tian Miaoji sent someone to inquire, and was surprised to learn that Xu Boyi was involved in this matter, so he sent someone to send Xu Boyi to see him. At this time, Xu Boyi had already resigned from the post of caregiver according to Tian Miaowen's instructions, and was preparing for the exam at home, preparing for the exam.
Hearing that Miss Tian was recruiting, Xu Boyi immediately dressed up carefully and went straight to Tian's mansion. Speaking of which, with the noble status of a girl from the Tian family, he didn't dare to have delusions, but Zhan Ning'er was obsessed with scholars back then, and actively pursued him, but it gave him ambition: "It turns out that a girl who is as noble as a princess is a girl who is as noble as a man. Huan Nu's pursuit of love is also the same as that of ordinary daughters!"
And Ms. Tian Miaowen's experience with other people three times made him feel that he has great hope. Miss Tian's three fiancés all died in a strange way, so the rich and powerful in Shuixi respected her far away, but Xu Boyi was a Confucian student and didn't really believe in those bizarre claims. Bizarre.
Xu Boyi came to Miss Tian's residence, and greeted Miss Tian gracefully. Sitting behind the bead curtain, Tian Miaowen said straight to the point: "I heard that a mother and daughter Xue from Tongren Mansion came to Guiyang to sue a man named Ye Xiaotian. Do you know about this?"
Xu Boyi was surprised: "Why did this incident alarm Miss Tian?"
But he didn't know that it wasn't just a Tian family who was shocked by this matter.
