Maybe it was the chill around Cui Min's body, and his killing intent and anger were unrestrained, all of which made Li Yi feel frightened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His Majesty obviously didn't intend to put Xue Wanhe to death, he just wanted to lock Xue Wanhe up and completely cut off the Xue family's back road.

If Xue Chengjiao died here, he couldn't explain to His Majesty, then in the same way, if Xue Wanhe was folded in Cui Min's hands, he would not be able to explain it.

Besides, what has become of his criminal department?

Thinking so, he moved his steps closer and pulled Cui Min by the hand: "Now is not the time to be a murderer, the county lord's body is the most important." ”

Li Yi is right.

Talking to Cui Min about anything else may not be useful.

He has the heart to kill people at this time, and will he listen to the persuasion of others in a few words?

Only Xue Chengjiao's matter could touch him.

Sure enough, Cui Min turned his head and glanced at Xue Chengjiao, who was still half-lying on the ground, frowned, and walked over to her.

As he approached, he bent down slightly and lifted the man up from the ground.

Xue Chengjiao's legs were weak.

It's not that Xue Wanhe really hurt her, it's just that the fright is terrifying.

She has only had such an experience once, and that is when she was pushed into the water by Cui Ying.

The water in the deep pool was topless, oppressing her, she couldn't call for help, she couldn't breathe, she could only slowly feel her consciousness drift, and all the strength in her body was drained.

Later, Jin County was drugged, she didn't know it at the time, or after Sun Niangzi came, she knew that she was only one step away from the ghost gate.

However, that feeling is far from such a shock.

Xue Chengjiao's small face was bloodless, and the whole person was weak and weak.

Cui Min didn't want to reach out and hug her directly, so he threw a look at Yan Sang.

Yan Sang immediately understood, so he let Xue Chengjiao lean on his body.

The two helped her sit down on the soft couch, and Yan Sang took a soft cushion for her to lean behind her.

Xue Chengjiao was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.

Li Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, stepped forward, and asked her in harmony: "Can the county lord tell this official what happened in this house?" ”

In fact, if this matter had been put in the past, it would have reached this point, and Xue Wanhe knew that there was no room for maneuver.

He wanted to continue to negotiate with Xue Chengjiao, it was just a fool's dream.

Let's not mention whether Xue Chengjiao is willing or not, just say that Gao Xiaoli and Cui Min will never agree.

So when Li Yi asked this, Xue Wanhe would definitely give Xue Chengjiao a hat as soon as possible.

In this matter, no matter who is at fault, he made the first move, plus Xue Chengjiao is a junior and a child, so it is all his fault.

What's more, he was unreasonable in the first place.

He did it because he was angry.

But right now, Xue Wanhe pursed his lips, stared at Cui Min with a pair of eyes, and didn't say a word.

Why?

He was afraid.

A few years ago, Gao Xiaoli also came to the door with a sword to punish him.

But he knew very well in his heart that Gao Xiaoli was scaring him and threatening him, asking him not to trouble his sister-in-law in the future, let alone worry about the family business in his sister-in-law's hands.

But now, he almost killed Xue Chengjiao, Cui Min's killing intent was not playing around with him.

Cui Min wanted to kill him - without hiding it.

For Xue Wanhe's sudden silence, Xue Chengjiao was a little surprised.

She looked up at Xue Wanhe, but quickly discovered what the problem was.

Xue Wanhe's hands were clenched into fists, and cold sweat was breaking out on his temples.

Such a state and performance is a fear.

Xue Chengjiao followed his gaze and realized that he had been looking at Cui Min.

So she sneered in her heart and opened her mouth first.

But before he could say anything, he coughed first.

The throat that has been stuck by someone has a dull pain, and if you want to speak, it will pull your throat, and the pain will be even heavier.

Cui Min couldn't hear her coughing, frowned and walked two steps to the round table, reached out and poured a glass of water, and soon returned to her and handed over the small cup with a red glaze.

Xue Chengjiao didn't shirk him, took a small cup and drank it all, only to feel that the burning pain in his throat was slightly reduced.

Then she said lightly: "The second uncle said that I colluded with Chaocheng and cholera Chaogang." ”

As soon as she said this, not to mention Li Yi, even Xue Wanhe himself was taken aback.

What's this girl's path?

How dare she say this to Li Yi?

Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you say?" ”

Xue Chengjiao shook his head vigorously and choked up: "Second Uncle thought that he was held by His Majesty this time, because I colluded with Admiral Liu, secretly took his handle, and sued him to the palace." So he felt that it was me who colluded with the courtiers and broke the rules. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi sighed twice: "County Lord, please continue." ”

Xue Chengjiao pursed her lips, and rubbed her jade hand on her neck: "Later, the second uncle threatened me with this, saying that he knew that his future was ruined, but he hoped that I could raise my aunt and cousin in Baoding Mansion, otherwise he would tell Lord Li about this, so that my uncle and uncle would not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Cui Min's face darkened.

Xue Wanhe was already jumping up with a shout: "You brute! When did I say something like that! ”

When Xue Chengjiao heard this, she coughed violently again, and Cui Min's heart was pulled together.

People have a preconceived idea.

Even a person like Li Yi who has been an official for many years is no exception.

If it weren't for the scene that happened before, maybe Xue Wanhe and Xue Chengjiao would listen to half of each of them, if there was anything wrong, he would have slowly pondered it in his heart and calculated carefully.

But that scene was too shocking, and Xue Chengjiao was always delicate.

On the other hand, what about Xue Wanhe?

The four words of the gentleman were buckled on him, which really made Li Yi have no good impression of him.

So Li Yi shook his head at Xue Wanhe: "This official is asking the county lord, besides, ......" He paused slightly, "I'm afraid this remark of yours is not very appropriate, right?" ”

His tone was so cold that Xue Wanhe knew that things were not going well, no matter how confused he was.

Xue Chengjiao is small. Her mouth pouted: "Second Uncle refuses to admit it, and I can't say anything," she said, sucking her nose, and even her shoulders trembled, before continuing, "But Lord Li knows that my parents are dead, and His Majesty has mercy, and he remembers my father's loyalty, so he raised me to the title of county lord." If it weren't for my cousin's marriage this time, I wouldn't have lived in the county lord's mansion. ”

She pursed her lips and looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi understood.

She used to live in Cui's house, and now she lives in Gao's house.

The title of a county lord is actually nothing at all.

It is impossible for a twelve-year-old girl to come out and open a mansion to live alone.

She should either rely on her aunt, or follow her uncle, or she should go back to the Gao family in Baoding Mansion and her maternal grandfather.

Xue Wanhe asked her to raise Feng and Xue Bing for the rest of her life, isn't it a joke?

What does she take to raise?

Of course, Li Yi also knows that Xue Wanjia has been fighting horses all her life, and the Xue family is not a family without a family, and now Xue Chengjiao must have a lot of family property in her hands, not to mention that she still has silver and rice.

The little girl's family, this money must be enough for her to eat and wear for the rest of her life.

But why do you have to raise Feng and Xue Bing?

Li Yi is not an old-fashioned and rigid person, maybe if he changes to an old stubborn, he will feel that this is what Xue Chengjiao should do as a junior.

But at least Li Yi doesn't think so.

Just said that Xue Wanhe was in trouble about splitting up the family back then, Xue Chengjiao didn't care about Feng and Xue Bing, and no one could say a word about her.

Li Yi shook his head with a smile and looked at Xue Wanhe: "I heard that when the county lord was still living in Cui's house, you went to the door to ask for money once?" He asked, thought for a while, and then continued, "The county lord seems to have returned it to you?" ”

Xue Wanhe was stunned, he didn't expect Li Yi to know these things.

Li Yi's heart was already biased towards Xue Chengjiao.

The meaning of his words was nothing more than to say - Xue Chengjiao was also benevolent and righteous at the beginning, you didn't care about your face to blackmail the juniors' money, the juniors respected you and gave it back, but now you still have the face to open your mouth?

Besides, Li Yi knows so much, so he probably knows about Xue Chengjiao's hurt face.

Xue Wanhe's heart sank, and he looked at Xue Chengjiao with a sneer: "I really underestimate you, demagoguery, there is no one who can do better than you." ”

Xue Chengjiao breathed and wanted to cry.

Cui Min's figure moved slightly, blocking in front of her, and looked at Xue Wanhe coldly.

His mouth moved, as if he had something to say, but the little guy who had just gone out to find the doctor happened to bring someone back at this time, so Cui Min's words were all put away, and he just glared at Xue Wanhe, and that glance was full of warnings.

The doctor first knelt down and kowtowed to ask for peace, and then stepped forward to check Xue Chengjiao's pulse.

About a quarter of an hour later, the white-bearded old man got up and went to the case to prescribe a prescription, and said: "This girl's injury doesn't matter, it's just that she was frightened for a while, and she couldn't breathe well for a long time. ”

Cui Min took two steps forward and pressed on his shoulder, and the old man's pen action stopped.

He turned his face to look at Cui Min, his face full of puzzlement.

Cui Min's hand was slightly relieved: "She hurt her spleen and stomach in the past, which was caused by the combination of white peony and quinoa, if the doctor wants to prescribe a prescription, the medicine can be more careful." ”

The old man sighed, and said twice to know that he knew, and then put down the pen again.

After the recipe was written, he also had a look, and instead of handing it over to Li Yi, he stuffed it directly into Cui Min's hands.

Cui Min's purse around his waist is perennially filled with two taels of broken silver.

This habit was still cultivated in Yingtianfu.

Occasionally, when he met a poor beggar on the street, or a really poor beggar, he would take out the broken silver and reward it.

Or the people who serve around him, one day he is in a good mood, and he gives out a reward casually.

At this moment, seeing that the old man was packing up the medicine box and was about to retire, he took out the silver from his purse: "The money is not much, and the old gentleman has worked hard for this trip." ”

The old doctor first went to see Li Yi's face, and when he saw that he motioned for himself to accept it with his eyes, he reached out to take the silver, thanked him again, and retired with the servant.

Cui Min handed the recipe into Yan Sang's hands, stepped forward to help Xue Chengjiao, and when he turned around, he nodded slightly with Li Yi: "I'll take her home first, the matter here is still Lord Li's own decision, it's just this matter-"

Li Yi said in a deep voice: "Although Cui Yushi is on the fold, I have nothing to do here." ”

Cui Min snorted, glanced at Xue Wanhe deeply, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and shook his head at him, and then helped Xue Chengjiao all the way out without mentioning it.

When they returned to the Qinghe County Lord's Mansion, Cui Min's face was gloomy, and there were no outsiders at this time, so he didn't fake any of Xue Chengjiao's affairs, and even got off the carriage, he personally helped him.

He didn't say a word, his face was pale, and he helped her get out of the car and accompanied her all the way into the house.

Xue Chengjiao didn't know where his anger came from, if he wanted to say that he was rushing to Xue Wanhe, then he was home at this time, why was he still like this?

Yan Sang didn't dare to speak even more after the two of them, but followed slowly.

After waiting for the weeping flower gate and walking a few steps, Xue Chengjiao felt an external force suddenly pull her.

Before she could react, she had already fallen into a warm embrace.

It was Cui Min's embrace.

His arms were strong, but gentle and careful, and he hugged her tightly, but he didn't hurt her.

His heart was beating fast, and the sound of dong-dong-dong smashed into Xue Chengjiao's heart.

This is unreasonable, Xue Chengjiao knows, and Yan Sang naturally knows.

But Cui Min buried his head in Xue Chengjiao's neck socket, and his voice was urned, with a somewhat nasal voice: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Yan Sang didn't dare to say anything, so he had to retreat a little farther away, all of which was the wind.

Xue Chengjiao put her hands on Cui Min's chest. front, appropriately pushed twice: "Cousin, you let go of me first." ”

"Don't let it go!" Cui Min's voice was raised, "In this life, I don't want to let go of you anymore." ”

Xue Chengjiao's originally pale little face was immediately red and about to drip blood.

Cui Min has shown this meaning many times, but it is extremely obscure, even if Gao Zizhang occasionally ridicules, he will never say it so blatantly.

This affection is the first time he has expressed it frankly.

Xue Chengjiao was a little at a loss, not knowing what she should do at this time.

She should have pushed him away, but maybe she was frightened and couldn't do it, maybe Cui Min hugged her too tightly and she couldn't push it away, in short, Cui Min's hands were still wrapped behind her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"You don't know, pushing open the door and seeing that scene, I feel like my heart is going to stop," Cui Min said angrily, "If you just go, what should I do?" Cheng Jiao, what should I do? ”

Xue Chengjiao was stunned: "It's okay, cousin, I'm fine." ”

Cui Min shook his head gently: "I'm really afraid, I don't know what will happen in the future, if Yan Sang didn't hear that movement today, or if Master Li and I broke into the door later, would you ......" He said, he couldn't go on, "Cheng Jiao, I'm afraid." ”
