Chapter 35: The Fierce Woman

Dai Tongzhi saw Ye Xiaotian bowing his head and pondering, as if he was moved, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Lord Ye, the Luo family has suffered a great disaster, so that the Luo family can get more compensation, otherwise, you are happy, what benefit will the Luo family have." ”

When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "What Dai Tongzhi said is also reasonable, it's not that Ye is unwilling to be accommodating, but I still need to ask the opinions of the Luo family on this matter, if they are willing to give up the lawsuit and accept the ransom, Ye will naturally not force the villain!" ”

Dai Tongzhi said: "It should be so, it should be so, I believe that the Luo family will also accept such an arrangement." ”

Ye Xiaotian sighed, stood up and arched his hand towards Yu Junting, and said, "In this case, the lower official will retire!" Yu Junting ignored him with a calm face, Ye Xiaotian didn't think it was angry, arched his hand to her, nodded to Dai Tongzhi again, and turned around and walked out.

Dai Tongzhi looked at his back and shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "This person is really a donkey who is leading and not leaving, fighting backwards, fortunately, this matter has a satisfactory solution, I will go to tell Zhang Tushe them." ”

Yu Junting snorted coldly, frowned suddenly, and said, "You say, will the Luo family refuse to accept the claim for compensation?" ”

Dai Tongzhi was stunned for a moment, what he saw and heard every day, those Shengdou Xiaomin had always been only to local officials like him, so he naturally felt that people would inevitably accept such mediation, and he would have thought that he might refuse.

At this time, when he heard Yu Junting say, even if he was eight or nine points sure, he still didn't dare to say it too hard. Dai Tongzhi thought for a while and said, "It's still the old man of Jianzhou!" Why don't I go to the torture hall and take a look, and after I have accurate news, it's not too late to inform Zhang Tushe and the others. ”

After speaking, Dai Tongzhi arched his hand to Yu Junting, and hurriedly chased after Ye Xiaotian.

As soon as Ye Xiaotian returned to the torture hall, the worried Li Qiuchi greeted him and said, "Dong Weng, what did Yu Jianzhou say." What did she think about the case? ”

Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and greeted Luo's father and mother. Miss Luo Qingqing has been on hunger strike for three days, and only then did she rise up to testify against Zhang Daoyun and a few others, and when the case was tried, her will relaxed, and she suddenly felt weak and weak to stand, and was helped back to the door panel by her parents to lie down.

Ye Xiaotian walked over, took off his official robe, and squatted down next to the door panel. Luo Qingqing lay on the door panel. seemed to be awake but not awake, and suddenly felt that the person squatting next to her was not her father, and when she opened her eyes, she happened to meet a pair of clear eyes, looking at her with sympathy.

Luo Qingqing immediately called gratefully: "Lord Ye! ”

Saying that, Luo Qingqing was about to get up, but Ye Xiaotian hurriedly stopped: "No need, your body is weak, just lie down." ”

Luo Qingqing refused to listen. Helped by her father and mother to sit up, Ye Xiaotian groaned for a moment and said, "What are the girl's plans in the future?" ”

Luo Qingqing smiled miserably and said faintly: "The slave family is an innocent woman. Humiliated by this. How can you still live in the world with a cheeky face, the slave family has the will to die, but I feel sorry for my father and mother who will be helpless in the future......"

Luo Qingqing said this, her voice choked. The tears finally flowed again, and Luo's mother hugged her daughter, and couldn't help but burst into tears. However, she obviously heard her daughter say that she would die early, but she did not persuade her daughter to dispel the idea of committing suicide.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, where the folk customs were extremely open and there were many bold women like modern times, there was also no shortage of fierce women who threw off cliffs and chaste wives with broken arms. In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Zhu Lixue was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even in Guizhou, which is dominated by ethnic minorities and the etiquette is not as strict as the Central Plains, there is no shortage of chaste martyrs. If the daughter of such a family is taught to die for the sake of righteousness, her parents will naturally take it for granted, and how can they persuade her.

Hai Rui Hai Qingtian, who is still alive, when her daughter was only five years old, because she ate a piece of pie given by someone else, Hai Rui was furious and scolded her: "How can a woman be bait? If you are not my daughter, you can starve to death, and you will be called my daughter! "For the sake of men's and women's defense, in the end, a five-year-old daughter starved to death, which shows the atmosphere at that time.

Ye Xiaotian heard that she had the will to die, shook his head and said: "The girl is wrong, this matter is not your fault, you are a weak woman, how can you protect yourself in the face of gangsters?" You shouldn't blame yourself for that. ”

Luo Qingqing wept and said: "My lord, the folk girl is not blaming herself, but she is no longer innocent, and she does not want to let this dirty body stay in the world anymore." The people's daughter's life is the shame of the people's daughter, and it is the shame of the Luo family. Adults don't need to be persuaded to do so, the people's daughters have made up their minds, and before they die, they can see the adults upholding justice for the people's daughters, and they will be at peace when they die. ”

Saying that, Luo Qingqing struggled to get up and wanted to bow down to Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian hurriedly stopped, thought for a while, and lowered his voice: "Girl, once you die, you are pure, but leaving behind the father and mother who lost their beloved daughter, how do you let them live?" Ye has a way here, I don't know what the girl thinks? ”

Luo Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at Ye Xiaotian suspiciously. Ye Xiaotian said: "Girl, although the official arrested Zhang Daoyun and others, it is a pity that he is a son of the Tusi family. In the past, when the imperial court appeased the Tusi of Guizhou, it promised them many privileges, and one of them was to atone for their sins with gold.

Therefore, even if the official sentenced them to death, and the text reached the imperial court, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven would not be executed. At that time, it will be the Son of Heaven who will be spared the death penalty and make him pay the ransom, and the price they can pay to your Luo family will not be large, so ......"

Facing the weak and haggard girl in front of him, Ye Xiaotian, who was also calm in front of Yang Tianwang, felt that he had no courage to face it, he hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up the courage to say: "If the girl and your parents are willing to withdraw the lawsuit, this official can do his best for you to fight for the greatest benefit."

With the strength of these five powerful families, they will definitely be able to spit out a considerable ransom. At that time, your family will take this money and go away to find another place to settle down, absolutely no one will know what happened to you, and your family will be able to live and work in peace and contentment with this money, and in the future recruit a consensual, considerate and gentle son-in-law, wouldn't it be good? ”

Miss Luo Qingqing looked at Ye Xiaotian with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I am afraid of the power of their family, do you have the heart to compromise?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't misunderstand, girl! Zhang Daoyun and others should be killed, but the national law can tolerate him! This official also hates in his heart, but after thinking about it, since he can't cure them, he still wants to let them get away with it after all, so it's better to take advantage of their family's unwillingness to publicize this matter to the Son of Heaven and lose face, and try to ask for more benefits for your family......"

"The slave family doesn't need it!" Luo Qingqing's eyes were red, and he stood up suddenly: "If you have money, can you treat us poor people as livestock?" If the slave family accepts their money and leaves the lawsuit, then what kind of person has the slave family become? ”

Ye Xiaotian then stood up and persuaded: "Girl, don't drill the horns, this is what they should pay." ”

Luo Qingqing said with tears in her eyes: "I am a woman from a good family, I was ruined by them and buried my life, is it what they should pay for letting them take out a sum of money?" The slave family is a common people, and their lives are like mustard, but the innocence of the slave family is as noble as the women of their noble family!

Yes, maybe the emperor will forgive them, but this is not a reason for the slaves to succumb! Master Tuiguan, you are a good official, but it's a pity that you can't help me, not even the emperor! In this world, the slave family cannot seek justice, only there...... Only there to complain about grievances......"

When Luo Qingqing said this, he suddenly roared loudly and slammed into the hall pillar next to him. Ye Xiaotian was shocked, stretched out his hand and pulled, but he didn't hold her, he heard a loud "bang", Luo Qingqing hit the hall pillar hard, and when he landed, the blood gushed like a spring, and as soon as his body was weak, he planted himself on the ground.

"Daughter, ......"

Luo's mother screamed, rushed over and hugged her daughter and cried. Seeing this, Li Qiuchi was at a loss in panic, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Help! Go find Lang Zhong! Save people! ”

The soap in the hall hurriedly came over and put Miss Pingluo with all hands and feet, and they also sincerely admired such a chaste martyr. One of the soaps hurriedly pulled the corners of his clothes, "snorted" and tore off a piece, and went to wrap Luo Qingqing's wounds, but the piece of cloth was wrapped around his head, and the blood seeped out in a moment, and he was red, and the other soap Li saw this, and he was busy doing the same, and tore off a piece of cloth from his robe to wrap the wound for Miss Luo.

Everyone was busy in a panic for a long time, and seeing that Luo Qingqing's face was as pale as paper, a soap officer reached out to probe her snort, and couldn't help but cry out in panic: "Master Tuiguan, it's not good, it's not good, Miss Qingqing...... It's dead. ”

Ye Xiaotian stood beside him in a daze, his heart was numb. Although this Luo girl has already sprouted the will to die, and even looking at the attitude of her father, she is also in favor of her daughter's death, but he is still very uncomfortable in his heart, he hates his incompetence, at this moment, he would rather not be an official, but a ranger who is forbidden by force.

What about being an official, the law is like this, if you really want to enforce the law impartially, you have to condone these wicked people, what kind of law is this! What kind of officer is this! Hearing that Miss Luo had died of anger, Ye Xiaotian's body trembled, and he slowly walked over with his heavy legs.

Ye Xiaotian knelt down on one knee beside Miss Luo and gently held her hand. Miss Luo's hand no longer had a trace of warmth, and it was softly held in his palm. I saw that her eyes were wide open, her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, a large red blood stain on her pale cheeks was shocking, and her lips were pursed into a stubborn line, which made Ye Xiaotian's heartstrings tremble.

At this time, Luo's father, who was standing on the side, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Good death!" Well dead! My Luo family is an innocent family! The daughter of my Luo family is also a good girl with self-esteem and self-love! Father Luo laughed as he spoke, laughing and laughing, and the muddy old tears rolled down......

Ye Xiaotian's eyes slowly turned red, he clenched Miss Luo's hand, and said in a low voice: "Miss Luo, you can go with peace of mind!" Even if the emperor is willing to pardon them, and the law is willing to let them go, I will not spare them! If you have the determination to commit suicide by hitting the pillar, I will have the courage to stand up for you! ”

Ye Xiaotian said, gently stroked Miss Luo's eyes with a trembling hand, gently closed those beautiful, angry and unwilling eyes, and when he withdrew his hand, his palm was already stained red with blood, Ye Xiaotian looked at the blood in his palm, slowly clenched it, and his eyes were covered with a layer of blood.
