Chapter 65: Hidden Feelings
Xiao Tao wiped her tears with her sleeve and said slowly in a choked voice.
It turned out that half a year ago, Li Yunyan met a white-faced scholar named Liang Chong (chong). That Liang Chong was born handsome and extraordinary, polite and talented, while Li Yunyan was charming in appearance and knowledgeable. The two fell in love at first sight and soon made a lifelong promise to each other.
However, Li's father Li Liang is not benevolent as an official, and he wants to give Li Yunyan to the senior officials of the DPRK and China as concubines, in order to be prosperous in official fortune, so he beats the mandarin ducks. not only forbade the two to meet, but also used official coercion to suppress people, and casually fabricated a famous name to beat Liang Chong on the 60th board. Although Liang Chong is a scholar, he is very tough, and he still refuses to give in after receiving sixty boards.
Seeing that Li Liang was about to marry Li Yunyan to the big official, the two really had no way, so they had the idea of eloping. At this time, a murderer who exterminated humanity suddenly appeared in Yuncheng, committing several shocking bloody cases of skinning, and the victims were all beautiful young women. The two had a plan, wanting to use this bloody case to create the illusion that Li Yunyan was victimized, and then the two quietly escaped from the city and went incognito.
Tonight, lying that the skinning demon infiltrated the Li Mansion and injured Li Yunyan, which was the beginning of the scheme, but he didn't want to be discovered by Jinhuang on the spot, and then all the original plans naturally went down the drain.
"Originally, the lord would not give the young lady to the official until half a month later. However, now that there is a matter of skinning demons, the rumors in the court are boiling, and the lord is afraid...... Usha is not guaranteed, and plans to ...... the day after tomorrow The day after tomorrow, I will secretly send the young lady over......" Xiao Tao cried breathlessly, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked very pitiful.
"Miss also had no choice, so she came up with this method...... I didn't mean to deceive the immortals!" she said, she was about to kneel down again, crying uncontrollably, "Please, save my young lady...... Miss said...... Miss said...... If she couldn't escape this time, she would kill herself in revenge...... In order to repay the affectionate ...... of Liang Gongzi"
Xiangyun couldn't bear it, and held her arm to help her up, "You get up first, let's talk about it." After speaking, he looked at Jinhuang, his eyes were shining, obviously moved by Xiao Tao, and wanted to help Li Yunyan and her lover.
Jinhuang looked at the two siblings, Wen Zhu and Wen Lan. Wen Lan had already quietly wiped away her tears, which was obviously more "serious" than Xiangyun. Wen Zhu is a male cultivator in the end, and he is relatively calm in the face of this kind of drama of children's affection.
He hesitated: "We went down the mountain this time to get rid of demons, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere in all mortal matters, they have their own fate." ”
Jinhuang's thoughts coincided with his. Their task is to get rid of demons, and as for whether Li Yunyan eloped with her lover or was given to a senior official as a concubine, it was her own fate, and it was inconvenient for them to interfere.
Seeing that the two of them looked hesitant, Xiang Yun hurriedly argued: "How do you know that Li Yunyan met us and it was not her fate? We happened to take this task, and we happened to enter the Li Mansion when we came to Yuncheng, and now that we heard about it again, maybe we were asked to help them in the dark." ”
Wen Lan also helped on the side, "Yes, Ah Jin, brother, you can help them." ”
Xiao Tao is a subordinate, and his ability to observe words and colors is naturally not bad, and he has long seen that although Jinhuang is the youngest in the group, he is the backbone of everyone. So, she pounced over again and begged, "Little Immortal Chief, you can be merciful and help my young lady and Liang Gongzi." Xiao Tao is willing to do whatever you want Xiao Tao to do, just ask you to help them. ”
"Ah Jin......" Xiangyun and Wen Lan also looked at her with pleading faces.
"Okay, okay. Jinhuang was helpless, pouted and muttered: "I didn't say no." Then he looked at Wen Zhu, who was standing quietly, "Ah Zhu?"
Wen Zhu spread his hands and looked helpless. The three of them agreed, what else could he say, he could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
Xiao Tao cried with joy, "Thank you to all the immortal elders, even if the immortal elders' great kindness and virtue Xiao Tao die, he will not forget it!"
Time was pressing, and the skinning demon was extremely fast, and the time to commit the crime was only three days apart. When they arrived in Yuncheng, it had been two days since the last murder. And they spent another day trying to understand the case and check the scene of the crime, so unless the demon had other things, otherwise, he would definitely appear in the Li Mansion tonight.
The four of them got together to discuss countermeasures, and then they acted separately according to the plan, and agreed to exchange money in the Li Mansion after a stick of incense.
Jin Huang and Xiang Yun returned to the big banyan tree where she had been hiding before, and waited for Wen Lan and Wen Zhu while checking the movements around them.
The big banyan tree was in the garden of the Li Mansion, and it grew very densely. The two of them hid on the branches, and their eyes happened to be facing Li Yunyan's embroidery pavilion. As soon as the skinning demon appeared, they would immediately find out.
Because of the movement of Fang Cai, the embroidery pavilion was still brightly lit at this time. Jinhuang debunked Li Yunyan's tricks, and Li Liang was furious, pointing at the crying Li Yunyan and Mrs. Li.
The senses of immortal cultivators are sharper than ordinary people, and Li Liang did not suppress his anger at all. The two of them easily heard his swearing.
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry all day long!" Li Liang's expression was hideous, and he pointed at the Li family's mother and daughter, "This is the good daughter you gave birth to!
Mrs. Li raised her head and begged with tears streaming down her face: "Master, Yan'er is just confused for a while, can you forgive her this time?"
Li Liang's chest rose and fell violently, obviously angry, and his index finger pointed at the top of Li Yunyan's head, "You give me to stay in the Embroidery Pavilion honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!
"Dad!" Li Yunyan cried so much that he knelt down and threw himself on his knees, "That adult can be his daughter's grandfather!"
"Hmph, Lord Fang looks down on you, it's a blessing for our Li family!" Li Liang was unmoved.
"This Li Liang is really not a thing!" Xiangyun was so angry that he punched the branch next to him, shaking down countless leaves, "In order to be promoted, he actually sold his daughter to an old man!
Jinhuang didn't say a word, but his eyes were as cold as a cold spring. There are so many people like Li Liang in the world! He only pretends to be himself in his heart, and his daughter is just a stepping stone on the road to promotion and fortune. If that Lord Fang had taken a fancy to his wife today, I am afraid he would have offered it with both hands! This kind of person deserves to be killed the most!
Her fists were clenched, and a hint of scarlet flashed in her eyes, fleeting.
