3. A woman riding a donkey

A light veil hung from the bottom of the hat, and the eaves were so low that it was impossible to see the bottom of the hat.

The veil under the eaves hung over the neck - such a costume was still the usual dress of women more than ten years ago, but nowadays, it is rare.

The woman rode a green donkey, the donkey was short, and her saddle was a side saddle, so the people also rode it. One of her feet was unusually dangling to the right of the donkey's bodyโ€”she was riding the donkey facing right.

Left-handed-Pei Hongli couldn't help but think in surprise. She had only noticed her because of the woman's dress. I saw that the woman's posture was quite graceful, and with the footsteps of the donkey, she was slightly on the saddle, and there was a different kind of charm.

It was almost dark at this time, and on a hot July day, the sun was smeared with poison and showed some fatigue after burning all afternoon. Pei Hongli was sitting in a tea shed at the foot of the city wall outside Nanchang City.

She's been sitting here for a long time. At noon today, she was here to do something else with Old Man Yu. The situation in Nanchang City is really quiet, just from the looks on the faces of the ordinary people resting outside the city wall and in the tea shed. Today, it can be said that the world is surging, and this Nanchang realm is a rare blessed land.

Old Man Yu sat in the tea shed at that time and delayed for a long time - he wanted to make sure that there was no risk before leaving, only to hear him muttered in a voice that only Pei Hongli could hear: "Pei Ju is really a talent." โ€

Then he hesitated: "Hongling, do you think that since we entered the land of Jiangxi, this road can be said to be rare and peaceful?" โ€

Old Man Yu was still looking around as he spoke: "...... And it's really calm, and the people who have been chasing us seem to be gone. No wonder Old Man Lu has always said that as long as he enters Jiangxi, he is afraid that Xiao An, the power of the 'King of Silence' Faxiang will not be able to extend here. I always thought he was empty words, but I didn't think that Brother Ling really could do this, and he actually let that Dongmi also tie his hands. โ€

Pei Hongli smiled slightly, she couldn't help but think of her third brother in her heart for a while - in the uncle ranking, Pei Ju is the third, so although Pei Shangshu only has a son and a daughter, Pei Hongli has always called him the third brother.

I only heard the old man Yu say: "Hongling, there are some things I haven't told you in detail, but now that you are alone, I can't help but let you know some common things in the rivers and lakes, so that when you encounter danger in the future, you can use it to make some basic judgments." โ€

The forces of the Eastern Secret outside the revealed have always been divided into three forces, and except for Bi Hetan, who presides over the teachings in their sect, these three forces can be said to be earth-shattering. One of them you must know is Du Buchan, who interferes in the politics of the court, so that the bigwigs of the dynasty cannot but be deeply feared. He has always rarely interfered in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and his influence is limited to the political situation in the DPRK and China, and he is also the sworn enemy of your husband Yu Zheng during his lifetime. They have been fighting for more than 10 years for the sake of major events in the world. โ€

Yu Guolao was dazed, and his voice was stunned, thinking about those court battles, he couldn't know deeply.

"But it's not him who is chasing you these days, along the way, you have encountered many dangers, but whether it is the 'Five Livestock Brakes' and Gong Hai at the beginning, or the later 'Male and Female Killers Flying Back to Fly' and Zhang Luoge, as well as the 'Plague Family Class' team we met at the rudder, they are all the subordinates of the 'King of Silence' who is in charge of the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes in Dongmi Middle School and takes it as their mission to kill aliens. Now that we have entered Jiangxi, it seems that there has always been a rule under the seat of the Fa Xiang, that is, not to cause trouble in Jiangxi, so we can be regarded as temporarily safe along the way. โ€

He raised his eyes: "But they still have a third forceโ€”a third force other than Du Buchan and the 'King of Silence'. I am afraid that few people have heard of this force today, and I am afraid that those who know it are all regarded as giants, bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and old people in the rivers and lakes. But it is precisely because of him that people in the world, who know him, can't help but tremble and change color once they think of him. โ€

As he spoke, the look on Yu Guo's face was solemn: "-And it is this force that really makes your deceased husband jealous of Dongmi, and feels that if you raise a carbuncle and become a legacy of carbuncles, it will become an uncontrollable situation in the future." They are now immersed in the army and participate in the management of the world's military authority - many important members of the military department, and the soldiers of the military town have already entered their ranks. That man commands the forces of the Eastern Secret army all over the world, and his fierceness and fierceness are fierce and cynical, and he is rare in the world, and his strength is not only far superior to mine......"

"I'm afraid that if you look at the world, there are few people. He's ......"

"10,000 cars."

Old Man Yu raised his eyes, "It is known as 'thousands of horses and thousands of cars'!" โ€

With his declining age and pride, he still can't help but be slightly depressed when he mentions this person: "At present, it is he, according to Lu Lao'er, who is also coveting Jiangxi." โ€

Yu Guolao sighed: "He's just afraid that now he is also your brother's great enemy." If you go to Pei's Mansion now, the first thing you will encounter is this problem. So I must say to you that if you are really forced to face him, Mullion, you must not be careless. โ€

โ€”โ€”Pei Hongli was still thinking about the words of Old Man Yu's narration of the world's major events, but in his eyes, he saw that the woman riding the donkey seemed to be tired of walking, pulled the bridle with her left hand, and drove the donkey straight to the tea shed.

She was light and agile, and she saw that she arrived at the door of the tea shed with one person and one donkey, lifted her left hand, and her body slipped lightly, and she had already got off the saddle. I saw that the woman's eyes swept into the shed, and she picked up a seat by the door and sat down, and said, "Xiao Er, send a big bowl of herbal tea to quench your thirst." โ€

As soon as she sat down here, others had just the time to take a closer look at her. I saw that all she had was exposed was her left hand. The hand was in control of the bridles, lubricated and soft. At this time, seeing that Xiao Er had already served tea, she reached out and untied the hook and buckle of the dust-covering veil hanging under her eaves. As soon as the veil hung down, her very ordinary face was revealed. Although her appearance is still plain, compared to her figure, it is far inferior. There were many old and young men who were staring at her, but when they took a look, they couldn't help but show disappointment on their faces, withdrew their gaze, and went their own way.

Pei Hongli was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner at this time - in order to avoid her attracting attention, Old Man Yu had made her face a little different, so she looked a little scorched, her eyebrows and eyes were messy, and she had lost eighty percent of her usual appearance. Old Man Yu had gone at this time, leaving only Pei Hongli alone.

One of the people in the shed withdrew his gaze from the woman, continued what he had just said, and whispered, "Where have we been?" By the way, have you ever heard that Hua Rong, the second son of the Yingtan Hua family, was really arrested this time. โ€

His voice is not low, and the careful words of the people in the shed can be heard, but there is a whisper in his voice, which is a kind of respectful and fearful alienation when the little people talk about the gossip of those powerful politicians, so that Pei Hongli, who heard it next to him, couldn't help but sigh slightly about the word 'Xiaomin'.

There were a few people sitting at his table, all of them like ordinary pickers. A person next to him asked, "Are you really caught?" โ€

Another person slapped his thigh: "It's good now, he relies on the majesty of his mother, since he grew up, I don't know how many bad things he has done in our Jiangxi territory over the years!" How many adulterers have been committed! As long as any of our people in Jiangxi touches him, how much will he suffer if he is not careful! What is he doing this time for? - Who is so arrogant, ignoring the power and decency of his Yingtan Hua family, and taking him down as soon as he makes a move? โ€

Those people thought that they were porters who had just returned to Nanchang after a long distance. Seeing that they didn't know the details, the one who spoke first couldn't help but feel a little proud, and slightly pressed his throat, which was usually rough and loud when he spoke, and said, "He made a big mistake this time!" That kid is merry by nature, and he relies on being rich and powerful, and there are not many girls and sisters who are ruined on weekdays? It all relied on the dignity of his family, although there were some rumors outside, relying on the money to settle the situation, and there was no solid evidence left. But this time he made a big fuss. You say he's not full of food - it's all dead ()? Who is not good to violate, as long as it is an ordinary small people, who dares to do it against his family? But this time he committed a military offense! Just last month, when he traveled through the land of Xunyang, he saw a sister-in-law in her early thirties, but she was only a little beautiful, and the kid somehow moved. The woman was also really fierce, and she was forced by him, and after the incident, she was so ashamed that she hanged herself with a rope. Her husband was so ashamed and indignant that he wanted to hang himself with a rope. If you want to say that he wants to do this elsewhere, it's just that he went to Xunyang to do it! Think about who lives in Xunyang City? โ€

The people next to him didn't want to be as familiar with the situation in Xunyang as he asked, and he was moved by what he said, and couldn't help but ask: "Who lives there?" โ€

Another person said: "My cousin is married to Xunyang, I heard that the name of the executive there is Zhang Xun, an old official ruffian, I heard that people are also stupid, I haven't heard of any harm?" โ€

The man who spoke slapped the table: "I don't see you!" โ€”โ€”Jiujiang regiment practice makes Chen go sick! You may not know his name yet, he has always been very heavy, but according to the news I heard from Hu San at the gate of the Nanchang Governor's Mansion, that master is ......"

He pointed his finger to the sky above his head: "...... Our Lord Pei is the only official in the two rivers who has some respect. You said that the person who made our Master Pei respectful was repaid? I heard that Chen Tuanlian usually looks sick, and the little people are afraid that they are afraid that they are easy to bully, and he usually treats people kindly, and even the vegetable seller dares to be short of two catties with his family, but who knows that he is really an out-and-out sick tiger! โ€

"Don't look at him as a young official now, before he was demoted, he was the first-class member of the military department, and the official residence waiter! That year, the Guan Right horse bandits made a lot of trouble, and he also discussed with the general Wei Huoyan, and came up with clever plans, together with Qi Lianshan's 'Horse Sword' faction, large and small horse bandits, the tricks he recruited, and the begging, didn't they all go down? Also, such a good person usually doesn't embarrass us ordinary people, and he is such a cold official, who will know about him? That Hua Rong kid made a mistake, and he didn't mind at all, and he also brought more than a dozen masters of his Hua family to walk on the street with swagger, and Chen Qu sent dozens of soldiers under his command and his deputy Gu Ming, and arrested him as soon as he made a move! The Hua family is not without masters, but as soon as Gu Ming made a move, he forcibly arrested people from them! This Gu Ming is no one else, he is from our Jiangxi, do you still remember the martial arts of that year, our Jiangxi ranked first, if it wasn't for the stomach trouble, the one who almost won the flower in the imperial court competition? That's him! That Chen went to illness and really suffered from it, regardless of human feelings, 'Yingtanhua, Yiyangcang', the second surname asked someone to intercede with him after the accident, but he actually had a lock, at the end of last month, he locked Nahua Rong straight to Nanchang, handed over to Master Pei, I heard that it is still closed in the yamen. It is said that the Hua family also used a lot of affection to force us Master Pei to release him. Master Pei has been resisting no response, just because of this matter, the punishment yamen is now heavily guarded, Hu San'er and they are like bowstrings one by one, and even Pei's mansion has sent a master prison. I heard that they are currently in a fight with Master Pei in Yingtan, and they don't know how to deal with this matter in the end. โ€

The people next to him heard him say this right and wrong, and everyone couldn't help but high-five, thinking that Nahua Rong was really disrespectful in Jiangxi, and he was a master that everyone hated.

Pei Hongli was unintentionally listening to it next to her, thinking about it for a while, but her expression couldn't help but change slightly, but what she remembered at this time was the situation in Jiangxi that Yu Guolao had briefly described to her just now:

"That Dongmi has not been able to immerse himself in Jiangxi, but I am afraid that it is not only for your brother's political clarity, but there are still people they are afraid of in the rivers and lakes. That is the Yingtan Hua family. There were originally two surnames in the Hua family, one was Hua and the other was Cang, but the person with the surname Cang was the descendant of the eagle claw family, which was very famous in the rivers and lakes. They lived in Yiyang, and they had encountered a great disaster, but it was the Hua family who resolved it, so they were spared the disaster of annihilation, and they were grateful for the great grace of the Hua family, so they invested in the Hua family and will always be the servants of the world. The Hua family is rich and powerful, and the business is far beyond the boundaries of Jiangxi, even Hainan Saibei also has their semicolon, and they are also quite popular in the rivers and lakes. They want to have a secret appointment with your brother, and they and Brother Ling are in the court and in the field, and they are each other's horns, and it can be said that water cannot be poured into Jiangxi. Therefore, over the years, although the momentum of Dongmi has been booming, it has never dared to trespass into Jiangxi. โ€

Pei Hongli thought of this passage, and couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed: If this is the case, the Yingtan Hua family has a dislike with his brother for Huarong, so wouldn't Dongmi, who has been peeking at the pervasive side, have a chance to take advantage of it?

Chen Quaiโ€”the next thing that came to her mind was the name. Why is it so familiar? How many years ago was that? When she was a little girl with a double bun, wasn't that playmate a little boy called Ah Sick? She had seen with her own eyes how he hung his hair and looked sickly, every autumn and winter, he was not in good health, and he had to drag off two green snots at every turn.

As soon as he thought of this, Pei Honglian's heart was filled with tenderness - time flies so fast, is this Chen Qu's illness the same one he recognized when he was a child? He was born in a family of soldiers, and his father and ancestors were accomplished as an official to a thousand households. When he was young, he used to laugh at his father for being a soldier in vain, but there was a son like him who had a blue nose at every turn.

Could it be that he is also working in Jiangxi now? And so arrogant?

Pei Hongli frowned, but why did he catch Hua Rong? With this gap, if the Yingtan Hua family really has the same family power as the old man Yu said, once they form a relationship with their brother, how can Dongmi miss the opportunity? And once Dongmi makes a move, conspires with the Hua family, and immerses Jiangxi, this rare piece of blessed land in the world is afraid that it will also be shaken in the turmoil from now on.

She was thinking about it in her heart, but she heard a few people over there shoot the case, and one of the old men shouted: "There is no sun and moon in Shenzhou, and there is a blue sky in Nanchang!" โ€

Pei Hongli was screamed by him, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a trace of worry and confusion in his heart-these people, these people, are so eager for a blue sky. But she herself, a young giant, has been married for a long time, but she knows that this world is actually the most practical. Under that superficial political clarity, I don't know how many people in power are distressed and resentful, and how many compromises and exchanges with various forces have to be made. These people, they are afraid that they will not think that behind this rare Qingming situation has always been complicated and gloomy. Do they know that it may be for the justice of the creature they praise, a decision that can be announced to the world to dissolve the anger of the people, but in exchange for a change in the situation in the whole of Jiangxi, the wind and rain?

But how can this person not be killed?

Because it is about the justice of the deceased who have been bullied.

Pei Honglian turned his head to the side, but saw that the woman who came on a donkey was also looking at the few porters who were talking. The meaning in her eyes, somehow, made Pei Hongli feel that what she was thinking in her head was exactly the same as what she saw.

The woman's gaze seemed to be warm and cold, but behind that warmth, there was a deep worry, like Pei Honglian, it seemed to be the same kind of bitterness of the sad world, and it was also the root of their insight into the inside of the world that they themselves would rather not have in this chaotic world.
