Chapter 4820: Willing to Be a Slave
After entering the mountain, it took another half a day to find a cave to stay in temporarily.
After lighting the bonfire, Yang Ruoqing slaughtered the hare that Zhui Feng had hunted, removed the internal organs, and roasted it on the fire. She couldn't help but sigh a little.
This trip to Beijing has never gone smoothly.
However, it is difficult for a powerful dragon to defeat a local snake, and she cannot defeat the local landlords alone, so it is necessary to hide.
After this experience, this local bully must be dealt with severely.
The man in black, who had regained some of his strength, was sitting on the mountain wall.
"It's time to talk about your affairs."
Yang Ruoqing believed that she had done her best, and there was no ambiguity in what she should say or do. It was time for the man in black to repay his kindness.
"Liu will not break his promise, madam, don't worry about it."
"Liu's name is Liu Xueyun. He is a minor official in Changle County near here. He usually looks after the granary."
A minor official in Changle County?
This identity surprised Yang Ruoqing. She thought this man was a military general, but it turned out that he was both civil and military.
It is impossible to achieve the status of a small official without knowing the written language and having a certain level of mathematical writing.
“Mr. Wang, the magistrate of Changle County, I lost my support after he was transferred away last year.”
"Originally, my family lived quite comfortably."
"But just a few months ago, my wife went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense and bumped into that beast!"
"That Yuan Ke Yuan family You beast, you have taken a fancy to my mother. Son..."
"In order to occupy my wife, I was framed for misappropriating and stealing food, and I was thrown into prison..."
"My wife couldn't bear the humiliation and threw herself into the river..."
Liu Xueyun's eyes were red, and his fingernails were dug into his flesh.
"Did you light the fire in the inn last night?" Yang Ruoqing took a bite of rabbit meat and handed another rabbit leg to Liu Xueyun.
"Eat a rabbit leg to replenish your energy. If you want to take revenge, you have to recover quickly."
Liu Xueyun took a hard bite and chewed it hard.
"I have friends in the county prison. After escaping, I found out about the inn where Yuan Ke stayed last night. I wanted to set fire to him and kill him in the dark to take revenge, but I didn't expect that it was a trap."
"Yuan Ke's thugs guard the courtyard. There are dozens of them. They all have sharp blades, bows and arrows, just to surround and kill me."
"Tell me again, what kind of power is this Yuan Ke family? They are so arrogant. Law."
Yang Ruoqing stood up and said calmly.
"The Yuan family is a famous family in Changle County. It has produced several capital officials in several generations. The highest official is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a bachelor. It has extensive land in the county. The head of the family, Yuan Qianshan, is also Senior officials in the official department have always had a good reputation, but many of the children of the Yuan family are incompetent. Rail, Yuan Ke is the leader in Yurou Township.”
“Yuan Ke is the only son of Yuan Qianshan’s eldest brother. Since Yuan Qianshan also has no children, this Yuan Ke becomes the only legitimate son of the head of the Yuan family in this generation. Extremely high.”
Liu Xueyun said.
"Didn't the Yuan family control this Yuan Ke? Since it is a family that inherits poetry and calligraphy, why do they bully men and dominate women, regardless of reputation."
Yang Ruoqing asked doubtfully.
Generally, most of the people in Fish and Meat Township are wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen, families with heirlooms of poems and books. They are famous, and they want to accumulate reputation for the children of the family to serve as officials.
Don't talk about good things like building bridges and repairing roads. Most of the bad things will not be obvious.
"In front of outsiders, no one knows that the Yuan family is the overlord in Changle County, almost like the emperor, and has a good reputation. I have also thought about filing a complaint, but officials are protecting each other, so who will accept it. "
"I was the one who was taken down soon after I handed in the complaint. Even if I die in prison, no one will avenge me. "
< br>"You see the injuries on my body. They beat me to death. If I am beaten to death, I will die without any evidence. If I am accused of stealing official food, my ancestors will have no peace in the underworld." "Okay, this matter I accepted it, but I want to send someone to investigate. If what you say is true, don't blame me for not helping you."
Yang Ruoqing said sternly.
"I swear to God, I speak from the bottom of my heart, as long as my wife redresses my injustice, I am willing to be a slave."
"Well, let's rest for a day first. When your injury is better, we will leave Changle County and go to the capital. , you can be my follower on the way, and when I get to the capital, I will naturally figure it out. It's your business."
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and said, "You can't be reckless. If you want to trip up the Yuan family, the first person to bear the brunt is Yuan Qianshan. If he doesn't fall, the Yuan family won't fall."< br>
"Okay, madam, Liu is willing to follow." Liu Xueyun nodded.
Yang Ruoqing thought about it in her mind. Liu Xueyun's matter seemed simple, but in fact it was not easy. Yuan Qianshan of the Yuan family was a member of the imperial court. Even if Qi Xingyun was the emperor, it was unlikely that he could get it without any evidence. Get off him.
And she didn't want to waste that little affection, Qi Xingyun didn't owe her anything.
We still have to find conclusive evidence, and all this can only be resolved after going to the capital.
"Is there a more remote road out of Changle County that won't be blocked?"
Yang Ruoqing asked.
Official roads are definitely not accessible. Now most of them are blocked everywhere. You can only take small roads, and you can't take well-known roads. This is a bit troublesome.
"You can leave Changle County by climbing over this mountain. Normally it only takes about five days, but there are so many tigers and wolves in this mountain that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to walk through it," Liu Xueshan said.
"Just climb over the mountain, then it'll be fine. Tiger and Wolf are just trivial." Yang Ruoqing smiled.
"Madam is very talented and bold, and is a hero among women. There will definitely be no problem." Liu Xueshan said.
These words came from his sincerity. On this day, he saw how powerful Yang Ruoqing was. He had never seen such a powerful woman before.
What kind of majestic hero must be worthy of such a woman?
Therefore, he really wanted to see the Zhongyong Bo who was rumored to be like a god of war.
It is said that Zhongyong Bo is invincible and a real hero. Being able to serve for him may be an unprecedented blessing for me.
"Okay, let's set off in half an hour." Yang Ruoqing said.
Half an hour was enough for Liu Xueshan to regain his strength. His main injuries were on his back and chest. After the inflammation in these wounds was suppressed, his strength naturally recovered.
Eat dry food and rabbit meat, and drink enough water.
Yang Ruoqing left her bay-red horse behind, and it was impossible to cross the mountain road.
Chai Feng opened the way ahead, looking for a mountain road. Hunters once broke through similar paths.
At night, when the sky was dark, the roar of tigers could be heard in the mountains.
“There is a tiger here.” Liu Xueshan said.
"You should be able to chop a tiger with a machete." Yang Ruoqing looked ahead warily.
Although it is not difficult to deal with tigers, it is still necessary to be vigilant. There are not only tigers in the mountains, but also various poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, etc. Sometimes those are more terrifying than tigers.
The sachet Yang Ruoqing wears can restrain these poisonous insects, but it cannot restrain poisonous snakes.
"Brush!"
The scimitar flashed, and a green snake with a green glow was cut in half, and half of its body was still struggling and squirming on the ground.
Yang Ruoqing pulled out her long sword and stabbed seven inches below the green snake's head. The green snake was completely dead.
"Let's go on. You can also go at night." Yang Ruoqing said.
