On the street, there are three old houses with spires and a small courtyard, which is the old ginger's house. At this time, the courtyard was already full, and many passers-by were stretching their necks outside the courtyard to look inside.

The people in the room were crying and grabbing the ground, and the hearts of those who listened were sour.

"My hard-working girl, why are you so ruthless, leaving your father and mother and leaving like this! You're gone, how can your father and mother live in the future! It was Jiang's cry.

The onlookers were talking and sighing. It is said that the old Jiang Tou's family was caused by the great eunuch Wu Jing, and scolded Wu Jing for being a brute. Some even mixed Qin Li into it, saying that Qin Li recognized Wu Jing as his godfather, greedy for wealth and wealth, recognized a thief as his father, and was shameless, not a thing compared to Wu Jing, and even more inhumane. Originally, a stinky person has been asking for food since he invented mahjong and recognized Wu Jing as his godfather, and he looks like a human being.

The words of scolding Qin Li happened to be heard by Qin Li, who had just arrived, Qin Li's face turned red in an instant, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

If you recognize the thief as your father, you will know that following this eunuch will inevitably be scolded!

It took me a long time to listen with my neck hunched before I finally figured out what was going on.

Wu Jing recruited a large number of unmarried beauties in Yangzhou, and because the old Jiang Tou did not grab a man as a son-in-law, his daughter Jiang Xiaoya was recruited by Wu Jing. The family couldn't take out two hundred taels of silver to redeem their daughter, so they could only resign themselves to fate, hoping that Wu Jing would one day show mercy and release her daughter back.

Wu Jing said that he wanted to dedicate the beauties to the emperor. But after the emperor came to Yangzhou, for some reason, Wu Jing didn't mention it to the emperor at all. On the contrary, he repeatedly urged his family to take two hundred taels of silver to redeem it.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, two taels of silver were enough for half a year's living expenses for a civilian family of three. Two hundred taels of silver is equivalent to an astronomical amount, and the old ginger can't make up it even if he sells his house and land.

The old ginger simply knelt at the door of Wu Jing's line all day long, begging Wu Jing to put the little girl back. But instead of having the slightest sympathy and pity, Wu Jing asked a few house slaves to beat the old ginger head violently, and gave him an ultimatum that he must hand over two hundred taels of silver within three days.

But within three days, several of Wu Jing's house slaves took advantage of the dead of night to send Jiang Xiaoya back. Looking at Jiang Xiaoya at this time, her originally beautiful face had long since lost her human form, and her body was full of scars, and the whole body was scarred.

Those eyes, which were originally very good-looking, were full of fear and despair, and from time to time they overflowed with crystal tears.

She didn't have the strength to speak, she just looked at her father and mother blankly. It didn't take long for the eyes to close and never open again.

Knowing what was going on, Qin Li's eyes moistened in an instant. Although he had never seen Jiang Xiaoya, he knew that since he was selected by Wu Jing, he must be an innocent and beautiful girl in the prime of her youth.

A flower withered away.

This is all a lack of virtue done by Godfather Wu Jing! Human life is as cheap as grass, and the lives of ordinary people are really worthless in the eyes of godfathers?

Qin Li was remorseful and angry!

But what can remorse, anger, solve? You can't go to Wu Jing to settle accounts with him, right? Wu Jing is now a celebrity around the emperor, and his power is sky-high, he glared slightly, and his little life may have to be over.

It is the so-called civil discord and official fighting. Now that he is a small citizen, what capital does he have to turn his face with Wu Jing?

A thought flashed inexplicably in Qin Li's heart: I want to be an official, a good official, an official who works for the interests of the people. Let the people of Daming not be born in dire straits.

As soon as this thought grew, Qin Li was immediately discouraged. In the Ming generation, if you want to be an official, you must pass several examinations to gain fame through the academy examination, the township examination, the guild examination, and the palace examination. If you don't study, you can't get fame, and you want to be an official? Dream on.

But then I thought, didn't I absorb the luck on the jade of good luck, and I would have good luck and good luck? Maybe I can be an official without studying.

While he was thinking wildly, suddenly a voice came from the crowd, "Huh! Isn't that the son-in-law who asked for food that the Lin family robbed? It was he who invented mahjong, and he was the godson of the great eunuch Wu Jing! ”

Everyone was originally looking into the room, but when they heard this voice, they immediately turned their heads to look at Qin Li.

There was disdain, contempt, and more anger in their gaze. It was like a sharp sword, pierced in Qin Li's heart, and Qin Li felt very painful.

The matter of recognizing Wu Jing as a godfather has never been made public, and no one has ever mentioned it before. But it seems that overnight, as if the whole Yangzhou knows that he is Wu Jing's godson. How do they know? This is a question that Qin Li has been unable to figure out.

How did Qin Li know that when he and the emperor were playing mahjong together last night, Wu Jing told them about their relationship in front of many Yangzhou officials. Wu Jing came to Yangzhou to fly and dominate, and his reputation was infamous, and many local officials in Yangzhou were very dissatisfied and dared not speak out.

Now that Qin Li became Wu Jing's godson, those officials were envious and jealous of Qin Li, and they all hated him to the core. How can there be a reason not to spread it around and ruin Qin Li's reputation?

Qin Li felt that everyone's eyes were becoming more and more unkind at this time, and subconsciously took a few steps back, barely squeezing out an embarrassing smile at everyone.

"This kid is not the culprit, but also an accomplice, how can it be a good thing to recognize the thief as his father. He still dared to come here to watch the excitement, I think it's schadenfreude! Beat him, everyone go up together, beat him! ”

I don't know who roared in the crowd, and suddenly everyone rushed up and rushed towards Qin Li.

Qin Li cried out in distress, and hurriedly turned around to escape. Furious and crazy, where could the crowd that was eager to vent allow Qin Li to escape at this time, there were already a few men blocking Qin Li's way.

"This thief still wants to run, hum! If I don't beat you all over the ground to find teeth, a few of us will live in vain! ”

At this time, Lin Ying had already squeezed through the crowd and entered the house to persuade the old Jiang Tou couple. Seeing that the good son-in-law was about to be beaten, the Lin family was so frightened that he was at a loss, and hurriedly pleaded, "Everyone, listen to me, all the villagers listened to me, it was all the sins of the big eunuch, this is not my son-in-law's business, everyone can't mess around." ”

How could an old woman stop the angry crowd, their eyes were red, and they raised their fists and hit Qin Li.

At this time, Qin Li really wanted to cry without tears, where could he have any detailed reason to talk about with such a group of crazy people? It's really a show to meet a soldier, and it's unreasonable. Besides, it is an ironclad fact that he recognizes Wu Jing as his godfather.

Wu Jing, you can harm me, Qin Li, is not light! After recognizing you as my godfather, I became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat you!
