Yu Junting went to the living room, sat down firmly, and ordered: "Call them in."
Under the corridor, Li Jingwen whispered to Ye Xiaotian: "Ye County Chancellor, it's inappropriate for us to leave just after the village master passed away, isn't it?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Master Li, I have already inquired about it. Their funerals, weekly sacrifices, exorcisms, and santai ceremonies take a very long time, we can't afford it here."
Li experienced: "Then the matter of mediation... we don't care?"
Ye Xiaotian sneered and said: "Now that even the village master Yu has been assassinated, there is still a possibility of mediation? I still don't want the reward offered by the magistrate, but don't make money or spend it."
Thinking about the danger of this place, Li Jingshu shivered and stopped talking.
At this time, a guard declared loudly: "Please Li Jingcheng and Ye Xiancheng come to see me!"
As soon as Ye Xiaotian saw Junting, he talked impassionedly about how he was ordered by the magistrate Zhang to mediate the disputes between the four departments. An ambush was set up on the mountain road, and a killer was arranged again, resulting in the death of the chieftain. Ye Xiaotian himself expressed deep sympathy for this, and deeply understood his family's decision to fight back. He wanted to return to Tongren Mansion to report the matter to the prefect, and asked the prefect to support him.
General Yu expressed his great satisfaction and strong agreement with Ye Xiaotian's deep understanding and detailed analysis, completely ignoring the fact that Yu's family also had assassins appearing on the mountain. They had an in-depth exchange of views on issues of common concern and reached broad consensus.
Li Jing was stunned by what he heard, and he could only feel ashamed of the two masters of nonsense in front of him.
Yu Junting said: "Once Zhaizhu Yu dies, the situation in Mount Mercury will become more serious. I should have rushed back to Tongren in person to inform the magistrate of the situation here. However, Zhaizhu Yu is my relative. Since he passed away, I can't do it right now." I left. You go back to Tongren and tell Zhang Duo the situation here."
Since Ye Xiaotian invited Li Jing to come and said the above words in front of him, it is impossible to change his rhetoric in front of Zhang Zhifu. Yu Junting understood Ye Xiaotian's meaning, so he didn't have any difficulty in his begging to leave. The two of them tacitly agreed, and Yu Junting readily agreed to his farewell.
Yu Junting accompanied the two of them out, and went to the mourning shed to bid farewell to the new chieftain. The new chieftain is the chubby young man Ye Xiaotian saw when he first arrived in Yujiazhai. This young man looks to be about ten years old, but he is actually only eight years old, but he is now the chieftain of Tixi Yu's family. up.
The little chieftain, dressed in hemp and filial piety, is being a filial son in the coffin shed, accompanied by his mother and the master of ceremonies. Shitou played a sad piece of Lusheng, just after he took a break, several musicians came up again, the master of the altar, the Taoist master, was instructing them what piece to play.
There are no less than dozens of kinds of music for this kind of funeral ceremony, and there are also dozens of dance routines for dancing to the gods. Under the command of Daoist Priest Chen, the Lusheng music suddenly became cheerful, and several dancing masters clapped their hands and shouted: "Brother and sister, brother and sister, Gao Dabeng, Gotha!"
Wang Ning's face was colorfully painted, and he also shook his head and sang: "Duda Nacha, Duda Nacha!"
They shouted: "Brothers, friends, blow up, jump up! Let's all come together!" Then a large group of people in the mourning hall who had just cried for a while rushed to the front of the mourning hall, following the joyful tune He jumped up with a babble.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiaotian was stunned. He really didn't understand why he played such cheerful music and danced in front of the dead during the funeral. If what stood in front of him was not a coffin but a bonfire, He almost thought that these people were camping and singing songs.
But this is the custom of others. Presumably there are their reasons and opinions in it, Ye Xiaotian is not good at showing too weird expressions, just keep a gloomy face and act extremely solemn, anyway, it will never be wrong to do so. When Wang Ning saw Ye Xiaotian, although he didn't think he could recognize him, he turned around subconsciously, only throwing him a back view.
The little chieftain was called over, and when he heard Ye Xiaotian bid farewell to him, the little chieftain didn't respond, but at the reminder of his mother, he politely asked him to stay, and then he and Yu Junting sent them out of the village, all the way Going forward, you can see strong men everywhere in the village. Once the funeral is over, a big battle will inevitably break out.
After leaving Yujiazhai, Ye Xiaotian and Li Jingwen stopped and turned around, and said to Junting and the little chieftain: "You two chieftains, please stay, I will take my leave later."
"Wait!"
Yu Junting suddenly called them, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Ye Xiancheng, Yu has a few words to tell you, please come here!"
Ye Xiaotian felt a little strange in his heart, but he still walked aside with her as he said. The two stood still under the wall of the village at the side, Yu Junting's eyes fixed on Ye Xiaotian's face like lacquer, and said: "There is something puzzled by Yu, and he has been thinking about it, but he still can't figure it out. Do you have a solution?"
Ye Xiaotian cupped his hands and said: "General Yu is being polite, Ye knows everything, but why is General Yu confused?"
Yu Junting frowned slightly, and suddenly asked, "Why did you kill Yu Fushun?"
"What?"
Ye Xiaotian's face changed drastically, and he backed away suddenly. Yu Junting's eyes slowly fell from Ye Xiaotian's face, and landed on his subconsciously clenched fists, he smiled softly, and said in a low voice: "It really is you, what are you doing for?"
Only then did Ye Xiaotian realize that Yu Junting had only suspected him before, not sure it was really him. Maybe it was because she had good eyes and ears and noticed something, or maybe she noticed something from Yu Fushun's appearance when he died... That's right! When Yu Fushun was dying, he was surprised to find that he was the one who instructed the assassin to kill him. His eyes and expression at that time...
Ye Xiaotian secretly hated that when he was listening to people's stories in teahouses in the capital, he often heard a plot, that is, a person fell into a dead end, but the opponent was not busy killing him, and always talked a lot, talking and talking Accidents are bound to happen, and the cooked duck escapes.
Ye Xiaotian thought at the time, if one day he kills someone, he must be resolute and resolute, and he will do it when it is time to do it, and he will never talk nonsense with his mother-in-law and let the cooked duck fly away. But how could he think that everyone is already dead, so he still can't talk nonsense.
In any case, it is unacceptable to kill him at this time, the cooked duck flies away, but no matter whether it is a cooked duck or a live duck, the mouth is always hard, Ye Xiaotian immediately became shocked and angry He denied it and said: "How can General Yu say such a thing? I have no grievances or enmity with Zhaizhu Yu, how can I kill him?"
"Is it?"
Yu Junting's pretty eyes narrowed dangerously, but she nodded to Ye Xiaotian, smiled brightly, and said very charmingly and gently: "Ye Xiancheng, take care all the way!"
Ye Xiaotian is like a cat whose tail has been grabbed, its fur is blown up.
※※※
"Woo~~~"
Ye Xiaotian reined in the horse abruptly. Li Jingwen was walking with him, so he quickly grabbed the rein, turned his head, and said impatiently: "Ye Xiancheng, what's the matter with you?"
Ye Xiaotian pointed forward solemnly, and said, "Look, there are birds flying in the forest."
Li Jing looked back and said in a daze, "Birds live in the forest and fly from the forest. What's so strange?"
Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "Otherwise! There may be an ambush in the forest!"
Li experienced: "Huh?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Go to two people, check it out!"
Immediately, two guards galloped towards the forest.
Li Jing came back from the peninsula, rushed to Ye Xiaotian, smiled wryly and said: "My Lord Ye, you have been suspicious all the way, don't you need to be so nervous. Just now you are the top in the town, you just want to throw money into the tea to test for poison , and now I am afraid that there will be an ambush in the forest, who would chase after you and me to assassinate you? Look, look, you and I are also court officials after all, and we actually changed into the same clothes as the guards... "
Ye Xiaotian has a hard time, so he can't tell him Yu Junting's threat to him. That woman needs the reason that "Master Yu died at the hands of Liangyue Valley" in order to continue fighting for Mount Mercury, so she won't publicly say who he is. The murderer, but it doesn't mean that the woman will let him go, so Ye Xiaotian panicked like a bereaved dog along the way.
Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to explain to Li Jing: "Be careful, there is no big mistake. Although it is troublesome, it is safe. We will be in Tongren soon. Let's not capsize at the door of our house. The owner of the village is a lesson from the past."
Li Jing shook his head, sighed again, had to roll his eyes, and thought to himself: "Master Zhifu sent me to Mount Mercury to mediate, but the four tribes were originally at war, but now they are going to fight, Master Zhifu doesn't know What would you think…”
…
In Zhanjiabao, the spring is beautiful. In the courtyard of Zhan Ning'er's boudoir, a tree of peach blossoms was in full bloom.
Zhan Ning'er sat facing the window, and she sent all the maids out, sitting there alone, nervously holding the embroidery needle, staring at the few pieces of cloth cut in front of her. She was used to dancing with guns and clubs since she was a child, and she wanted to be a female celebrity, but she couldn't save the face and learn from the maids, so she wanted to learn from a teacher without a teacher.
At this time, Ning'er was dressed in a traditional Miao girl's dress, with a bun on the top, red and white handkerchiefs crossed around her head, an embroidered ribbon wrapped around the outside, and a "small lezi" covering the lower edge, Zhou Zami Strings of colored beads are densely hung, swaying between the eyebrows and ears, beautiful and magnificent.
The placket has exquisite embroidery on the sleeves, collar and placket. There is an embroidered red ribbon on the waist, and a batik embroidered pleated skirt. The leggings are made of pure white linen. They are elegant and clean, just like the trees outside the window. The pink peach blossoms washed by the new rain.
The Miao girls have to practice female red, and they have to start embroidering wedding dresses for themselves when they are very young. When they get married, they have to wear their own wedding dresses. Look down on me, when you get married, you will be secretly ridiculed for being naked.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and as Zhan Ning'er, it's fine if she doesn't wear the clothes she sewed by herself. But this time, after Zhan Ning'er posed a difficult problem for Ye Xiaotian, she suddenly realized that she had reached the age of marriage, and suddenly felt that it would be meaningful to wear a wedding dress that she personally tailored, so...
"Boom boom boom..."
The door knocked, Zhan Ning'er was startled, almost pricked her hand with a needle, she shouted angrily at the door: "Didn't you tell me not to disturb me?"
The maid outside replied timidly: "Miss, someone came from Mercury Mountain and said that there is a very important letter for Miss."
As soon as the words were finished, the door opened with a "huh", and Zhan Ning'er was standing on the doorway, impatiently asking: "Where is the letter?"
The maid handed over the letter, Zhan Ning'er took it, and closed the door again with a "huh".
Zhan Ning'er sat in front of the window, opened the letter impatiently, and smiled like a flower after just one glance, it was as sweet as honey, and there was only one sentence in the letter: "Stinky girl, don't be jealous anymore, this time for you , I'm a beacon, playing tricks on the princes!"
