Chapter 14: The Assassin Makes a Statement, and the Star Makes a Meritorious Service

As soon as Xing'er said this, everyone looked in the direction of Xing'er's finger.

"Queen Mother, Xing'er must be drunk." Xing'er rubbed her eyes, "Why is this mother-in-law so white behind her ears?" The other mothers-in-law are tanned, this mother-in-law must be too well maintained......"

They looked at the man's neck again, and the peasant women present looked at each other's necks, and the woman hurriedly covered them.

"The Queen Mother, this sister-in-law is indeed very white." Said the thinner peasant woman.

"The Queen Mother, this mother-in-law's feet are also very big?! Why does Xing'er think his feet are bigger than my godfather's? ”

As he spoke, the crowd looked at the man's feet again, and the man hurriedly covered his big feet with his skirt.

"This sister-in-law, before we got on the boat, I heard that Sister-in-law Zhou had a bad stomach, and you are her close relative to replace her, and I never dared to ask you, your surname?" The thin peasant woman got up and walked in front of the man.

The man kept his head down and kept silent, and the thin peasant woman simply came to the man again, and nudged the man, but the man still did not move, and when the peasant woman pushed the second time, I saw that the man grabbed the peasant woman's wrist with one hand, and with a backhand, twisted the peasant woman's arm behind her back, and the peasant woman was first startled, and then there was a pain, and she screamed.

Just when everyone was surprised by this scene, the man quickly got up and pushed the peasant woman away, stepped forward with a brisk step, and arrived in front of Liyue in three or two steps, pinching Liyue's neck as soon as he stretched out his hand, and shaking a cold light with the other hand, the short knife had been against Liyue's neck in the next second. Everyone was stunned by this scene. Xing'er was so frightened that she hugged the queen mother's thigh.

In the panic, Zhou Liang could only shout, "Come on!" Escort! Followed by a team of Yulin broke into the door, quickly surrounded the Queen Mother, and surrounded the woman. It was too late to say that it was too late, and the woman had already taken Liyue as a hostage.

"Quick! Take it for the mourning family! The Queen Mother said angrily. Yulin swarmed up.

"Stand back!" The woman threatened that she had been forced into a corner by Yulin, but her face did not move half a minute when she spoke, as if the flesh on her face was dead, and she was a man's voice.

"Bold Assassin! I was mixed in with the guests! Say! What are your intentions?! The Queen Mother is not the Queen Mother, she is not chaotic, she is still sitting calmly on the phoenix chair, and the Queen Mother's left hand is gently holding Xing'er's shrunken shoulder.

"Stand back!" The man continued to threaten, but his roar was weak, it was clear that he was not a master, and by this time the peasant women had already been surrounded by four feathered forests to prevent their comrades.

"Queen Mother, Liyue is fine, please rest assured! What are you waiting for? Let's take it! "Liyue was still calm and self-contained when the person was coerced with a knife, and it was not unreasonable for the Queen Mother to favor her and listen to her and believe her, this kind of calmness is not something that ordinary people can do.

Yu Lin and that person are still deadlocked, Yu Lin guards have broken through several times to no avail, although that person is not skilled, but he is very clever and has superb martial arts.

Just when everyone was helpless for this stalemate, Mama Gui Chun bowed down to support the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, please move elsewhere!" Mama Gui Chun and the Queen Mother have not been vegetarians for so many years.

The reason why that person held Liyue hostage was not to hurt people or be a real assassin, and the stalemate with Yulin was nothing more than to show the Queen Mother, so Mama Gui Chun asked the Queen Mother to move.

And as soon as this sentence came out, the man's psychological defense line was somewhat loosened, and he shouted: "Don't go!" ”

The Queen Mother had just moved her phoenix feet, and the man's shout had already made it clear that he was really about his purpose, he should have something to see the Queen Mother, so he mixed into the summoning team.

"Mourning home is not leaving? Aren't you waiting for you to assassinate?! The Queen Mother shouted loudly, and her majesty was fully displayed, and everyone present was startled.

"Bang Bang"! The dagger landed, and the man fell to his knees, kowtowing.

"The Queen Mother atons for her sins! The Queen Mother atoned for her sins! Xiaomin had no intention of assassinating, so he really had a last resort to kidnap Zhou's sister-in-law, and then Yi Rong infiltrated the summoning team in her place. ”

The Queen Mother sat back on the phoenix chair, and Yu Lin had already held the person down at this time, and the Queen Mother waved her hand and signaled Yu Lin to withdraw.

"Queen Mother, no, I don't know his identity yet, in case I ......" Zhou Liang hurriedly stopped him.

"It's okay, let's all go down!" The Queen Mother commanded.

Be! Yu Lin replied in unison, letting go of the man, and also letting go of the women, and exited the cabin one after another. And the women of the people have long been frightened, seeing the queen mother so fearless, they are all shocked, and they knelt down one after another, glad that they came to show their loyalty this time, the queen mother compassionate Li Min and such a means, Zhang Chi has a degree of advance and retreat, those men in their family, if they really rebel against the court, I am afraid that the head will not know who will do it.

The Queen Mother gave Gui Chun a look, Gui Chun immediately knew what it meant, nodded in response, turned to the women and said, "All the guests don't have to be nervous, let's all sit down, and sit back in their seats." The women immediately thanked them and sat down in their seats, quietly taking on the next course of events.

"What's your name? Why did you blend in with the summoning party? Engage in the calling! The Queen Mother asked the man.

The man kowtowed and spoke back.

"Xiaomin Li Zhong, is a native of Linqing, although the family is not very wealthy, but it can also be regarded as a local scholarly family, since the dynasty has been a show of talent, the first emperor reigned, a text movement, there is nothing to do with my family, just because the master of the county grandfather around me fell in love with the Qing Yan of my family, several times begged my grandfather, because it was passed on by the ancestors, my grandfather did not agree, several times refused, but who knew that the master was a villain, on the surface of a set of back knives, insisted that my grandfather Xie anti-poetry has a heart of disobedience, the county master is a dim and confused, I was still young at the time, and I was spared, and I was fortunate to have the first emperor Mingjun, who stopped the writing movement in time, and the government also returned the family property, and issued a document saying that my grandfather and father were not guilty of disobedience, and my family did not know who was behind it, and when the points were returned, the important items were only less than the Qing Yan, and I knew whose way it was, but there was no evidence, and there was no way to ask for it. That's it. "Li Zhong is true.

"Excuse me? What does that have to do with your business today? The Queen Mother asked.

"Just two years ago, my family's Qing Yan was born, it was the son of the master, because the family was in the middle of the road, took out this inkstone and sold it, as soon as the Qing Yan appeared, my father recognized it, so he came to the door to ask for it, but the master's family has become a bully, my father begged for it several times to no avail and was beaten, my grandfather was old, and he saw that his son was beaten and did not come up, and my father died soon after, and he did not survive half a year," Li Zhong choked up when he said this.

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, we seem to have heard of this thing he said," the thinner peasant woman said, and then looked at the fat peasant woman, "Sister-in-law Li, think about it, don't you?" ”

Sister-in-law Li scratched her chin, thought carefully for a while, and nodded vigorously, "That's the case, but later, didn't you say that your family sued the government?" ”

When Li Zhong heard that someone knew about his family, he cried even more sadly.

"I first sued the county government, but the master's family has been entrenched in the county for many years, the county master has returned the complaint due to insufficient evidence, and the small people have no choice but to go over the government to sue the government, the prefect was very fair at first, and also reviewed the files and material records of the year, and determined that there was a party Qingyan, and I was happy in my house, thinking that I had met the Qingtian in the world, but who would have thought that a few months later, what I was waiting for was not the family heirloom treasure returning to Zhao and the bad guy was punished, but what I was waiting for was a catastrophe."

"What catastrophe?" Everyone asked.

"Last year's drought, almost a civil uprising, the court suppressed, but one day rushed into my house, my two uncles and three brothers, as well as the whole family up and down a total of more than 30 people were all arrested, I went out in the south to escape, and then returned to my hometown to listen to the daughter-in-law's sister-in-law said that it was the leader of the civil rebellion disobeyed the court of the felony, exterminated the three tribes, said that the emperor was gracious, only killed the main culprit, the three tribes of hard labor for eight years, and now the three tribes have been sent to West Berta for hard labor, and my uncle and brother have been sent to the capital, said that after this autumn will be beheaded, I dare not speak out, hiding everywhere, looking for relatives and friends to borrow money, and wanting to go to Beijing to sue the emperor," Li Zhongyou cried bitterly, and after a while, he choked up and said: "When I was preparing to go to Beijing a few days ago, I heard the landlord Zhou's sister-in-law say that the queen mother was summoned by the queen mother, and I just moved the idea of mixing into the summoning team. Xiaomin just wants to wait for an opportunity to beg the Queen Mother and help Xiaomin do justice, Xiaomin is really desperate! The Queen Mother, you are a clear guide! Xiaomin's family is wronged! The youngest child exiled in Xiaomin's family is only three years old, and I heard that ...... Already...... Dead on the way to exile...... Queen Mother, you know that! The small people are wronged! The villain's two aunts are probably over sixty years old, and I am afraid they will not survive this winter...... Queen Mother, you know that! The small people are wronged! ”

Li Zhong burst into tears, slammed his head on the ground, the cabin shook and buzzed, his head was broken, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his true feelings were evident, and everyone present burst into tears, and the Queen Mother was also a little moved, covering her face with her sleeves. Although Xing'er didn't fully understand what Li Zhong said, when she heard that the three-year-old baby died on the road, her eyes flashed her young fleshy brother, and she also remembered that Lian'er was taken away by the water, so she cried loudly.

When the Queen Mother saw Xing'er crying, she didn't blame her, Liyue wiped her tears, and wanted to reach out to take Xing'er away, but the Queen Mother waved her hand.

"You and the mourning family are still like this, not to mention a little baby who doesn't know the world, it's not to blame." The Queen Mother held Xing'er in her arms and patted her gently, as if she was her own granddaughter.

"Li Zhong, your grievances are known, but you can punish you for trespassing on the imperial ship and robbing and injuring the people's women?!" Moments later, the Queen Mother had stopped her injuries.

"The small people know the guilt, the little people know the guilt! As long as the small people can be given justice, the small people will die, and they will not hesitate to say the queen mother! Li Zhongfu kowtowed again.

"Stop him, stop knocking again." Zhou Liang and others stepped forward to stop Li Zhong.

"You must not be a real face, right?" The Queen Mother asked.

Li Zhong reached out behind his ear to uncover the disfigured leather applied to his face, he used to have a handsome face, but now his forehead has been broken, and his flesh and blood are blurred.

"The sins of the small people, covering their faces is already a bully, the queen mother is clear, and the villain is ......"

"Okay, there is no need to say it again, there is a reason for it, mourning the family and remembering your crime, the mourning family will order someone to take you to Beijing and hand it over to the criminal department, if it is confirmed that your family is indeed wronged, they will spare you, if it is confirmed that you are falsely accused......" The queen mother raised her hand and signaled him not to kowtow again. Punishment for several crimes! ”

"Yan Ben!" The Queen Mother called. Suddenly, a tall figure dressed in black flashed out of the inner cabin, kneeling on one knee in front of the Queen Mother.

"Escort him to Beijing, hand it over to the Criminal Department first, report the matter to the emperor, and let the emperor make a decision." The Queen Mother commanded.

"Command!" Yan Ben clasped his hands on his wrists.

"Let's leave early tomorrow morning!" The Queen Mother said again.

Yan Ben paused, received another order, and then escorted Li Zhong out, and Li Zhong thanked the Queen Mother and went out with Yan Ben. Calm returned to the cabin. Retsuki and the others cleaned up the mess on the ground.

"You little person, how old are you to know how to cry?"

The Queen Mother regained her kind countenance and deliberately teased Xing'er to ease the tension at the scene.

"Queen Mother, we adults are crying, this little girl is crying is also sophisticated, just about his family, who doesn't hurt when he hears it?" The thin peasant woman opened her mouth, "Thank you to the Queen Mother Shengming!" ”

"Don't mention those Laoshzi, what's the matter with those who are in charge of the officials, today's matter, but the little star of the mourning family has made a meritorious service. Saw through the man's disguise. ”

The Queen Mother laughed and teased Xing'er again, and Xing'er stopped crying at this moment, and was amused by the Queen Mother and giggled.

"Liyue, change the table again, let's have fun with the people, today, we must have a good time."
