Chapter 137: Take in a maid
Li Ye and Qi Ning had already heard about these things mentioned by this girl before they came, but they didn't know that the truth was even more serious.
If they hadn't met this girl today, they would really not have been able to investigate the matter.
"Girl, don't worry, when the minister comes, he will definitely avenge your grievances and make decisions for you, and I won't let you suffer anymore." Qi Ning wanted to tell her the good news.
But now is not the time to declare her identity, and speaking out will not help her much, so she can only be appeased first.
However, the girl shook her head: "It's useless, those ministers in the past will either be with them or they will be killed, and this time the ministers will be even worse." ”
These words made Qi Ning a little frightened, and he asked puzzledly: "Why did you say such a thing, girl, could it be that the minister of the Qin Mission this time can't do anything." ”
The other party replied: "Girl, you don't know, those ministers in the past still have a chance to survive, but this time I heard that there are people in the palace who want to get rid of this minister, and even let the prefect and the county order them to lay a net to wait for him to come, and then end him up in Jiangnan." ”
Although Li Ye knew that this Chen Guifei would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, he didn't expect that since he dared to be blatantly to this point, it was really beyond his expectations.
Qi Ning's expression was also unusually complicated after hearing this, although he also knew that he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble when he came here, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.
Li Ye smiled and said: "So many inns here and the prefect's errand are looking for the minister with their portraits everywhere, right?" ”
"In fact, it's not just these people, even many bullies in Jiangnan want to find and deal with this minister, because only those who report to the yamen after they find him will be rewarded."
Qi Ning was also a little curious: "Why do you know so much, and listening to your words and demeanor are not like those poor people, I don't know what your identity is, girl." ”
The other party sighed: "I am the daughter of Liufu here, our family is a scholarly family, never deal with the people of the government, but I feel deep pain about their deeds, but I can't do anything, my father doesn't allow me to go out on weekdays, I'm afraid of meeting these bullies, yesterday I thought that the minister was coming, and the prefect would definitely be restrained, and I still met me." ”
Speaking of these Liu Yue wiped her tears again, she continued: "The prefect who killed a thousand knives was greedy for my beauty, and immediately wanted to accept me as a concubine, but I refused, so he used my father to write anti-poems as an excuse, saying that he was satirizing the current emperor,
This damn prefect arrested my father in prison, so angry that my mother fainted on the spot, and has not woken up yet, and then forced me to marry, but my arrogant father, how could he suffer such humiliation and commit suicide by hitting the wall in prison, just so as not to become my bond. ”
Liu Yue said while crying that if her father and mother were still alive, she would not dare to say the ridiculous things that the prefect had done, but now it is different, her father and mother have died because of this, and she must go to denounce the evil deeds of the prefect.
Qi Ning was even more angry when he heard it, gritting his teeth: "It's just lawless, and you dare to do such a hurtful thing, which makes people unbearable." ”
Liu Yue cried again: "The mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, and they and the people in the court are even more officials and officials, and there are people who have gone to sue in the past, but if the people want to sue the officials, they must first go through the thirty boards, but they have long colluded and will beat those who are stupid to report to the officials to death." ”
Liu Yue was already crying silently, which made people feel distressed when they saw it, Qi Ning sighed and stepped forward to comfort: "Miss Liu, don't worry, we will definitely make decisions for you and will not let go of this corrupt official." ”
"This damn dog official, do something hurtful to the heavens and reason, this Jiangnan woman almost stays at home, just worried about being snatched back by him, I originally had a marriage match, but I don't want him to still refuse to let me go, when I learned that my father is dead, and my mother is gone, I ran out with all my might, I held this breath, just to denounce them in the future."
Liu Yue's words were full of anger and hatred, she had long wanted to follow her father and mother to the Yellow Spring, but she must not let these wicked people live freely, this will only make her father and mother die.
Li Ye was even more angry: "It's ridiculous, these things have never been heard of in the capital, but there are some rumors that the people here are suffering, but what we see is the peace of Guotai." ”
Liu Yue shook her head and replied with a wry smile: "These are just illusions made for you to see, they are all to deal with the minister, and then find an opportunity to deal with him, we, the innocent people, also hope that the minister must save his life and make decisions for us, instead of being poisoned again." ”
Li Ye replied: "This time, the minister will definitely avenge you and eradicate all these bullies, and when the time comes, we will also prepare to return to Beijing to sue the emperor, are you willing to be a witness." ”
"Of course I do, I'm just afraid that I will be arrested by them before I can get to the capital, then the damn prefect knows that I know everything here, and he won't let me leave Jiangnan alive, but it's a pity that no one can spread my grievances."
The pain on Liu Yue's face made people feel sad when they saw it, Qi Ning sighed and said: "Don't worry, we will protect you until this matter is resolved, and I will take you back to Beijing with me at that time, if you don't dislike it, stay by my side and be a maid at that time." ”
After listening to this, Liu Yue knelt down in front of Qi Ning and kowtowed with tears streaming down her face: "I am willing, my life was saved by you, girl, as long as you can avenge my father and mother, Liu Yue is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness." ”
Qi Ning helped her up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, "You don't know what my identity is, and you are also a woman dressed as a man, are you willing to follow me on the road?" ”
Liu Yue replied: "I can see that you are upright, and you are also a kind person, I believe in you and am willing to follow you." ”
Qi Ning nodded, "Then you will follow me from now on, because we have to hide people's eyes, so we have to travel in men's clothing, can you accept it?" ”
"I can, and the prefect may have to go around plastering my portrait to find me, if it is a woman's clothes, it will definitely be recognized, and I don't want to cause you trouble."
Qi Ning could see that she was also a woman who dared to act boldly, and she was very strong, and she could even see her stubborn side in her, so she would take people in.
"Well, I'll find someone to paint your face when the time comes, so that no one can recognize you." Qi Ning must change her appearance, otherwise she will definitely be recognized.
