A few words from Yu Xiang pointed out Yu Miaoqi's selfishness, and some onlookers with bright eyes and bright hearts looked at Yu Miaoqi with a change of taste. Yu Miaoqi stood still in embarrassment, and hurriedly glanced at the prince, seeing his dark eyes sweeping over, her heart trembled.
How could Yu Xiang have the heart to talk to her, so she asked someone to bring the mad woman closer, put a horsewhip against her chin, and asked coldly, "Who are you? What is the deep hatred between my Yu family and you?"
The woman pouted and wanted to spit at her, but she whipped her hard several times, and there were bloody welts on her cheeks. The ladies around who knew her didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being missed by Yu Xiang.
"Who are you? Tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, I'll have your tongue pulled out!" Yu Xiang's expression was extremely ferocious, and several old women violently pulled the woman's arms, causing her to scream repeatedly.
"I said, I said, I'm Xu Mao's wife, Mrs. Zhou!" After all, the woman is a pampered and brought up noble daughter, who can't bear the pain. Once the impulsive force passes, she is captured by Yu Xiang's ruthlessness. After a while, I will be honest.
The crowd around the audience, especially those ladies who had never seen the world, all showed expressions of horror. They were already a bit jealous of Yu Xiang, but now they all turned into fear. The noble ladies sighed secretly: It really is Yu Dutong's younger sister, her heart and wrist can't get rid of the word 'ruthless', and it's probably over if the Zhou family falls into her hands.
When the Zhou family just started making a fuss, several people slowly descended from the upstairs, and the shopkeeper of Zixiang Pavilion was waiting on the left and right, sweating profusely. The person at the head is a majestic man in dark black clothes, with a faint look of contempt in his resolute eyebrows, followed by two handsome young men, one of them is holding a jade fan, and the other is holding an embroidered jade fan. Chundao, with bloody eyes in his eyes.
The prince bowed quickly when he saw the person coming, and told the whole story.
On the other end, Yu Xiang showed a suddenly realized expression, and sneered, "So it's you! You have the nerve to say that my brother killed innocent people indiscriminately and cruelly killed Zhongliang? What kind of Zhongliang is your husband Xu Mao?"
Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was recalling, and after a while, she counted them one by one, "In the ninth year of Chengkang, Xu Mao went outing in the countryside, raped a farm girl on the spur of the moment, and killed her family of seven in order to cover up the matter." In the 11th year of Chengkang, he was promoted to the post of Secretary Tongzhi, the envoy of Xuanwei. He was greedy for hundreds of thousands of taels of military pay, causing the soldiers of the Six Routes of the Yangtze River to spend the winter without money, silver and cotton clothes, and more than 10,000 people froze to death. Imprisoned on death row, leading them into the dense forest to hunt and kill them like animals. Cheng Kang was promoted to the admiral of the Nine Schools in 21 years, accepted more than one million bribes, and assassinated dozens of people in order to eliminate dissidents... His bad deeds are too numerous to record, piles of bloody cases Shocking. Do you have the nerve to use the word Zhongliang to describe a beast like him?"
Yu Xiang waved at Liu Lu, "Buy a basket of eggs and come here." He continued amidst everyone's inexplicable expressions, "The emperor deserved his crime for killing him, and my brother killed him for the sake of the people. If you feel that you have suffered If you feel wronged, you can knock on the board and hear the drum to sue. Why do you embarrass me, a useless person? My brother is indeed a murderer, but he has never killed any innocent person, nor framed any loyal person. He is a family Throwing your blood on the battlefield in the country, and doing your duty loyally to the emperor, I, Yu Xiang, are here to say something. If anyone thinks that my brother has an unjust, false or wrongful case, he will smash an egg on my head and forcefully Damn it. I'll just sit here and wait for you!"
Every word of her was as heavy as a thousand catties, and she didn't feel short of breath or timid at all. When everyone present was swept by her cold gaze, they all lowered their heads and remained silent, their eyes showing panic.
Only then did the old lady squeeze out of the crowd with difficulty, and said in a cold voice, "Xiang'er is right, if anyone feels that he has been wronged, my Yu family will suffer it for the time being. Come and watch!"
Mama Ma hurriedly moved a chair for the old lady to sit down. Liu Lu also quickly bought a basket of eggs and placed them in front of everyone.
Needle dropping could be heard quietly inside and outside the store, not only Mrs. Zhou, but even the passers-by who watched the excitement turned pale. Yu Xiang's words have reached this point, who would dare to smash them? Yu Pinyan said that it was an order to kill someone, and the emperor said that this person was guilty, who would dare to say no? Even if he hated Yu Pinyan to the bone, who would dare to stand up and smash an egg today? If you smash it, you will be resentful towards the emperor and dissatisfied with the court, and you will be punished by many people after you go back.
Although Yu Xiang had a broken leg, she was as broad-minded as a man, and her mouth was better than a thousand troops. If it was an ordinary woman who encountered this matter, she would have been smashed into a mess and crying, and eleven out of ten would take her to the inner room to solve it privately like Yu Miaoqi did. In this way, the dirty water splashed on the lintel of Yu's house will not be washed away in this lifetime.
Although Yu Xiang's way of handling things was rough, it was extremely effective, and some arrogant words even praised Yu Pinyan to the extreme, which was admirable for a while.
Mrs. Zhou was frightened and timid, and willingly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the familiar people also stepped forward to comfort the old lady. Yu Xiang's sharp eyes swept across, and all the noble ladies covered their faces to avoid, staggering.
Only then did Yu Xiang sneer, squinting at Yu Miaoqi, who had slightly distorted facial features, and said slowly, "Everyone came to the door, but you still softly stepped forward to help, and even threatened to apologize. What kind of apology are you saying? I agree." Brother killed innocents and harmed Zhongliang indiscriminately? Since your surname is Yu, you'd better remember this—no matter when and where, maintaining the dignity of the Yu family is your most important duty. The reputation of the Yu family can be bad, but the backbone cannot be bent!"
Because many people were watching, although Yu Xiang was full of anger, she did not point it out, and did not expose Yu Miaoqi's attempt to use her kindness to set off her despicable intentions.
However, if she didn't say it, how could people with discerning eyes not know? Especially Emperor Chengkang and the prince, who grew up steeped in intrigue and scheming, had a natural liking for straightforward and straightforward people like Yu Xiang, but hated those with treacherous minds like Yu Miaoqi.
In addition, Emperor Chengkang did not have the idea of exhausting his bow, after a hundred years, Yu Pinyan would continue to guard the frontier for the prince. Seeing that all the generals who followed him in battles are all old, and the strength of the Han army is declining day by day, how could Emperor Chengkang have the heart to wear out the sharp edge of Yu Pinyan's precious sword? The bloody killings in recent years were just to sharpen him. The person who said that Yu Pinyan only covered the wolf's ambition with his hands didn't know Cheng Kangdi's veins at all, but he was secretly thinking about it.
Seeing that his confidant and love will be protected in this way, he was naturally moved, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his majestic face.
Yu Pinyan didn't show it on the surface, but put his thumb on the handle of the knife and rubbed it vigorously, barely suppressing the surging emotion in his heart. That is his younger sister, his sweetheart, who will always treat him wholeheartedly no matter how others criticize her. He didn't know how to repay this true love, he just felt that no matter how much he spoiled her, no matter how much he loved her, he didn't feel like it was enough.
Standing behind Cheng Kangdi, Shen Yuanqi lowered his head and smiled wryly, the soreness in his heart could hardly be described in words. The once pampered younger sister spread rumors everywhere to destroy his career, but the direct younger sister who was closely related by blood didn't even know his existence. One of the two has a treacherous mind, and the other is pure and natural, emphasizing love and righteousness. Could it be that the Shen family's tutoring was not good enough to bring Yu Miaoqi into what she is today
Thinking of this made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Emperor Chengkang clapped his hands and applauded when Yu Xiang finished speaking, and his deep laughter attracted everyone to look up. At the same time, many dragon scale guards suddenly appeared inside and outside the store, guarding Zi Xiangge tightly.
"Huang..." The old lady jumped up in surprise, and was about to salute with her cane.
"It's inconvenient here, the old lady doesn't need to be polite." Emperor Cheng Kang waved his sleeves and hands.
Most of the people who can afford to patronize Zixiang Pavilion are one of the most powerful families in Beijing. Although most of them are female relatives, there are not a few people who know Cheng Kangdi. Some at a loss. All the ladies are even more ignorant, and they have no masters.
On the contrary, it was Yu Xiang who casually wiped off the egg liquid on his chin with his sleeve, and flicked off the egg shells from his skirt, and bowed generously, "Yu Xiang has met Mr. Huang, you also come to buy a mercury mirror, Mr. Huang." ?”
Cheng Kangdi smiled and strode forward, flicked off the broken eggshell on her head in distaste, and said in a gentle voice, "Exactly, I ordered two noodles for Xiaojiuer and Fawife. Xianger likes it? If you like it, the master will buy it for you too." one side."
"Young Master Huang just bought me a side, thank you, Mr. Huang." Yu Xiang smiled and cupped her hands, her attitude was intimate and natural.
Cheng Kangdi laughed again, pointing to taffeta, lace cloth, etc. and asked her if she wanted it, and if she wanted it, she would take it all away. Yu Xiang hurriedly said, "I dare not resign from the gift of the elders", but she accepted it unceremoniously, which caused the prince to laugh again and again.
Seeing this scene, all the ladies looked at Yu Xiang with admiration. Don't say that she is not surprised by her grace and magnificence, just that the emperor's prince and others' love for her is enough to make her gain a foothold in Beijing. Although she has a broken leg, her back is straighter than anyone else's. In terms of talent and demeanor, who among the noble ladies in Beijing can compare to her
Yu Miaoqi retreated to Lin's side, sizing up the prince without any trace, seeing that he no longer showed any appreciation for her, but a slightly disgusted scrutiny, her heart that was still jumping happily just now began to sink slowly, pulling Holding Lin's arm, he hid behind the old lady.
Emperor Cheng Kang exchanged a few words with the old lady, and then he looked at Mrs. Zhou who was pressed to the ground with his mouth covered by the Dragon Scale Guard, and sighed, "Ling Chi and Xu Mao's orders are from me. You are so hostile to those who handle the case. Don’t you hate me to the bone? If you got the chance, wouldn’t you even dare to assassinate me? It seems that the decision to forgive your Xu family’s remnants was wrong.
Zhou Shi struggled frantically after hearing this, his eyes were full of pleading.
Cheng Kangdi sneered, and ordered Long Linwei to take her down.
All the ladies held their breaths and did not dare to raise their heads. They were secretly thankful that Yu Xiang's few words captured them. If Yu Xiang took someone down for private purposes, they would have to say some gloating sarcastic remarks, and the emperor and the prince were in the shop , there are still many Dragon Scale Guards lurking everywhere, if they accidentally spit out a few outrageous words, then they will all be finished.
Amitabha, good, good! All the ladies recited Buddha's name in unison.
