The literati style cannot be trampled on, He Lan was full of pride and ambition, and then completely left Jingyao behind and began to talk with Su Hao.

Su Zhen replied calmly, the expression on her face did not belong to the old age she should have at this age. Therefore, when He Lan learned about Su Hao's step-by-step plans and plans from her, she even forgot that Su Hao was still a young man.

Su Zhen is different from those businessmen's monopoly laws, although it doesn't sound authentic, but it does not harm the rights and interests of the people, and even takes it as a priority. However, in this way, it is naturally contrary to the interests of those famous families, and if it is a mistake and it is half a step wrong, it will definitely not be able to turn over in an instant, and it will be a total loss.

Jingyao held her cheek with one hand, watching the two of them talk eloquently, and her eyes couldn't help but be completely attracted by Su Hao.

Really... Hearsay cannot be trusted......

Fortunately, Su Zhen did not forget the purpose of this trip, and untraceably revealed more news about Xiyan and the mysterious woman in white.

After two hours, they finally quieted down, and Jingyao's sleepy worm had already taken her into a dream, until Su Zhen woke her up, only to find that it was already dark.

Jingyao, who was still a little confused, rubbed her eyes, "Huh? Got dark? Are you done talking? ”

"Well, let's go."

He Lan wanted to keep them, but there was really no good food at home, and it was getting dark, so she reluctantly let them go.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring Jingyao freshly made cookies.

The two walked side by side towards the outside of the village, Jingyao looked at the simple villagers with a kind smile at them, and whispered to Su Zhen, "Did Lord Yu come at that moment?" ”

"He didn't come, as if he was stumped by something, but the officers and soldiers who came have already collected the suggestions of the villagers, and I believe that without the tumor of the Huang family, it won't be long before the villagers will have a better life."

"You two little guys are quite naïve, that Huang family is as simple as you think."

Under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, a withered rattan deck chair was placed at some point, and an old man with a worn-out patch was lying on the deck chair. Holding the pu leaf fan and shaking it gently, the fan blades on the fan surface have fallen off a few pieces, and the rough back of the hand is full of wrinkles like old branches.

His sideburns were pale, and his thin, sunken face was dotted with dark brown age spots. The lips opened and closed, humming a little song they had never heard before, but the sadness in it was self-evident.

Su Zhen stopped, she really didn't deliberately ask about the Huang family.

Tie the cloth bag containing the biscuits to the horse, walked up to the old man and asked with a smile, "Old man, is it difficult for Huang Yi to have any great background?" ”

The old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes, revealing indescribable sadness, "Well, how can I say it, young man, do you know what kind of situation it will be when the former dragon slayer becomes an evil dragon?" ”

"Dragon Slayer? Dragon?! ”

This old man is too bold, slaying the dragon? If he said this outside the village, it is estimated that he would have been caught by the people of the government and cut off his head for the crime of treason, not to mention that she was accompanied by the emperor's daughter.

glanced sideways at Jingyao, but she didn't react.

The old man said slowly, "Yes, Huang Yi's father was originally a homeless homeless person due to the war, but at that time, some people made a fortune in the country, and treated the homeless people as slaves to exploit and oppress, and used them to do some black business. As time goes by, we don't want to be oppressed anymore.

Huang Yi's father Huang Kang is the leader we elected, and the old thing fled with us at the beginning, but who knew that the passing year was unfavorable, and he met a group of horse thieves. They were trying to rob a batch of red goods escorted by the dart bureau, and we just happened to catch up with the bad luck. At that time, many people were killed, died, fled, seriously injured, and many women from good families were taken captive to the mountains. ”

Su Hao subconsciously looked at Jingyao, and sure enough, that anger and hatred appeared in her eyes again, was she really upset because of the dumb slave?

took the pu fan from the old man's hand and helped him fan the wind, "Old man, what about later?" ”

The old man's eyes showed appreciation, and he began to talk endlessly.

"Later, we all came to Kyoto City to seek refuge. However, there were too many displaced people, and although the imperial court opened warehouses for disaster relief, how could we share the silver and grain, and then we went into various mountains. Although it was a little harder, it was not impossible to endure it.

Unexpectedly, there was a big man in Kyoto City who took a fancy to our land and wanted to take it for his own use. The villagers went to the Huang family to discuss, but they didn't expect that they were a group at all, not only defrauding our land, but also making us lose a lot of silver and become their tenant farmers.

Xiaohe studied a lot and once admonished us, but we were deceived like we were blinded by lard at that time, and we couldn't listen to anything, so we suffered so much. Now it's good, we can't afford to pay back the silver at all, so the Huang family asked us to sign a deed of sale, not only that, but that Huang Yi also occupied the woman in the village. That kind of beast should be cut with a thousand knives! ”

Big shot? What big man can come to the mountains to dig oil and water from the poor? There can't be any treasure hidden in this mountain, right?

Jingyao grinded her teeth and was very angry, "Isn't this equivalent to eating and wiping you clean, and then unloading the mill and killing the donkey?" Do they still want to make people into ejiao paste? ”

"It's too late to say anything now, we can only wait for the court to make decisions for us."

"Old man, you just said that you once encountered a horse thief who followed the homeless people into Beijing, and also met a horse thief, did He Lan follow you at that time?"

"Yes, I vaguely remember that Xiao He also rescued a girl on the road at that time, although the girl was a little simpler, but she looked like a country. She is very good, hard-working, and willing to do any rough work. At that time, in order to survive, they were desperate! However, in order to save Xiaohe, the girl was caught by those horse thieves and never came back. ”

"Old man, do you remember what that girl's name was?"

"It's been more than eight years ago, and I can't remember it clearly, I only remember that she seems to be surnamed Yue."

Eight years ago? Wasn't that exactly the twenty-ninth year of Shangde, the year when the dumb slave was brought back to the palace by Jingyao? Could it be that the woman is a dumb slave?

Otherwise, if it weren't for the dumb slave, why would Jingyao follow her all the time?

Jingyao was arrested in the twenty-ninth year of Shangde, and it is estimated that she should have been eight years old at the time, but according to her, the dumb slave had been in the cottage for many years...... Don't? Jingyao lied about this?

Su Zhen wanted to ask more, but the old man closed his eyes again, and after calling twice, people didn't respond, and she didn't want to bother too much.

Just as Su Zhen wanted to get up, she heard the old man whisper as if in a dream, "That girl's surname is Yue... It seems to be called... Xian'er ......"

Yue Xian'er?

Sensing the strange look in Jingyao's eyes, Su Zhen waited a little, but the old man didn't say much. She had no choice but to untie the reins of the horse, put the beauty picture she wanted back from Jingyao on her back, and the two rode away from Huanyu Mountain.

The smoke and clouds swept in, the twilight sank to the west near dusk, like the bloody sun reflecting the red sky, and the cold of the world smoothed out the sharp edges and corners of the people, and extinguished their blood and passion until it was cold.
