Chapter 60: Ru Liang

"Why did we hurt her, did we drug her head, or did we force her to do something stupid to ruin her reputation? The reason why she didn't die well was because she did it alone, but she couldn't complain about others, you want to avenge her? It's ridiculous! Ruan Mianmian sneered, it seemed that he was already angry, and he was no longer as gentle and amiable as usual.

Wei Xunyi was speechless for a while, and suddenly broke free from the clamps of the two soldiers, like a madman about to rush towards Ruan Mianmian, Lu Gui, who was sitting on the side, was unmoved, only pinched a teacup and threw it gently, hitting Wei Xunyi's shoulder, the teacup fell to the ground and made a clanging sound, but it was not broken, but Wei Xunyi was carried back by this force, and fell straight to the ground, bringing up a cloud of dust, and his own arm was bent backwards in a strange posture, looking as if the bone was broken.

The two soldiers immediately went over and pulled him up, and looked at him with a look of extreme pain, and the other hand, which was still intact, clung to his shoulder, and tears suddenly filled his eyes.

When Lu Gui saw him like this, he said disdainfully: "The woman is feminine." ”

Jiang Xinyue and Zhu En both looked at Lu Gui with some surprise, such a kung fu of fighting cattle across the mountain just shows that Lu Gui's control of martial arts has been accurate to do whatever he wants, and he can break people's bones without hurting the fragile quilt, which is difficult for people who practice martial arts to ascend to the sky, which shows how terrifying Lu Gui's internal strength is.

"Since Wei Xunyi has already recruited his crimes, it will be easy to do, he and the county lord will be handed over to Mianmian for disposal, if you want to kill or chop, I will carry it in front of the emperor when the time comes, and the rest of the accomplices who are still unrepentant will be killed." Lu Gui tapped the table with his thin white index finger knuckle with his backhand: "Then put up a notice, all the customs in Gaoyuan County in the name of sacrificing to the river god have been stopped, and the courtyard will also be searched, and the women who are found to be victims will be given silver money to appease, and no one shall discriminate against and hurt them." ”

One order after another was conveyed, and the king of England dealt with many matters in a moment, and the evil county order was taken over by the army when it arrived at the county office, and people were directly sent to take care of it.

After dealing with these, the king did not stay long, and after saying goodbye to Mu Ruqing and them, he left with Zhu En, and the troops brought from Ruliang did not withdraw, but waited for Ruan Mianmian to explain and escort them into Ruliang City to converge.

Seeing Mu Ruqing holding Zhu En's waist and riding away, Jiang Xinyue sat aside and took some pastries to eat: "Have you noticed, the King of England and Princess Zhu En are getting along more and more harmoniously, and it seems that marriage is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Then you also want the emperor to point you to a different prince?" Mu Ruqing pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"Who said I thought about it? Every time you talk about this kind of thing, you eat inexplicable vinegar, and the marriage is engaged, is it possible that you can still run? Jiang Xinyue rolled her eyes, turned her head to eat and ignored him.

Ruan Mianmian saw the two of them arguing, laughed twice, and when he looked up, he saw that Wei Xunyi was still lying on the ground in embarrassment, one arm was weakly drooping, unkempt, how could he still look like a handsome son.

"Although Wei Xunyi made a big mistake and tried to hurt the royal county lord, no matter how he is the youngest grandson of the Duke of Wei, the county lord will give the Duke of Wei a face, and will not ask for your life, but only escort you back to Beijing and hand it over to the emperor for disposal. I want to come to Wei Guogong to be conscientious and conscientious, and I have worked hard all my life to gain a reputation for the Guogong Mansion, but now I am dead in your old age, I don't know how to feel. Ruan Mianmian said quietly, but these words pierced Wei Xunyi's heart like an awl.

Wei Xunyi only stared at two eyes, and when he heard Ruan Mianmian mention Wei Guogong, he couldn't hide his fear: "No! If you want to kill, you will come with you, and you are not allowed to tell your grandfather! Grandfather, he is old, he doesn't take me seriously, he won't protect me, it's better to kill me directly! ”

"It's good to know, but you don't know, I'm not a noble and elegant lady, I'm in an orphanage until I'm fifteen years old, I haven't seen anything dirty and pickled, I won't let go of any of the people who hurt me, Liu Xi'er is like this, and you will too." If you don't lose what you hold dear, how can you really regret it? Ruan Mianmian turned sideways and didn't look at him, letting him struggle in pain.

"Okay, take him down and lock him up, send trustworthy people to keep an eye on him twelve hours a day, feed him with water and food on time, ensure that he has no chance to cut himself, and then hand it over to His Majesty when we return to Beijing." Jiang Xinyue ordered to go down, and the two soldiers immediately dragged Wei Xunyi down like a puddle of mud.

After such a big change, it is very likely that Yipinxiang's trip to Nancheng will not be able to continue, so he can only go back to Beijing and plan slowly, the branch in Nancheng is still open as usual, and it is not too late to send someone to preside over when the business is established.

The county magistrate, who was in the same league as Wei Xunyi, was finally sentenced to be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the army that later went to search found several girls who had been taken captive and imprisoned in small courtyards in the courtyard, including the daughter of the old woman who was waiting under the willow tree that day.

After the mother and daughter reunited, they had to come to the county office to thank Ruan Mianmian, but Ruan Mianmian didn't see them, and only sent someone to give them ten taels of silver, so that they could move out of Gaoyuan to live elsewhere, which can be regarded as finding a way for them to live again, and they don't have to be pointed at by neighbors because of the pain they suffered in the past.

As for the other followers and entourages who followed the county lord as a prestige and a servant for the tiger, like Steward Xu, they were all beheaded with the county magistrate, and the other family members and lackeys were exiled to Western Xinjiang as military slaves. Ruliang will send a new county official over as soon as possible to control the pattern of Gaoyuan as soon as possible.

At noon on the second day, Ruan Mianmian set off, and together with Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing, he returned to Ruliang with the soldiers.

Ruan Mianmian is titled the lord of Ruliang County, and the fief is Ruliang, which in contemporary law, Ruan Mianmian is the master of the entire Ruliang City, and the county guard and the resident general are just governing in her place. As for the annual taxes and annual tribute, seventy percent of them are sold to the state treasury, and thirty percent are owned by Ruan Mianmian personally, so that Ruan Mianmian is one of the richest people in the entire dynasty.

The herald had already returned to Ruliang in advance to inform Ruan Mianmian of the time of arrival, and the county guard and a group of officials began to greet the county lord of Ruliang all night, and red silk was hung from the city gate to the street.

I don't know if someone is intentional, the county lord of Ruliang disposed of the dog official of Gaoyuan, and the matter of justice for the people has spread in Ruliang City, and many people who have come back from Gaoyuan have praised it, and for a time the people of the whole city have taken out the hottest enthusiasm to prepare to welcome the master of Ruliang, the noble county lord.

The people who lived in Yipinxiang in the county guard mansion naturally received the news for the first time, knowing that Ruan Mianmian was unscathed and still served justice for the people, they were all excited and didn't fall asleep, especially Ruan Bai, he was anxious for these hours, and he didn't even sleep for a whole night, but as soon as he heard it, he could see Ruan Mianmian immediately, and he was not tired and tired at all.

It's just that Fang Dacang didn't show the expected joy after receiving the news, but climbed on the roof alone and stared at the sky over there in Gao Yuan for a long time.

In the morning, he secretly went to King Lugui's room to discuss something, and when he came out, his face was expressionless, and he locked himself in the room and didn't know what to do.

Ruan Mianmian changed into a clean and tidy white dress, and followed Jiang Xinyue's example to tie up her hair with a crown on the top of her head, which was capable and refreshing, but the silver-white hair crown was fixed with a plum blossom silver hairpin, and there was a gentle beauty in it, lining the human face as white as jade, gentle and affectionate.

She and Jiang Xinyue both took the carriage, and before arriving at the city gate, they got on the eight-lift sedan chair that was open on all sides according to the arrangement of the officials, she herself did not like to be extravagant, but it was the first time to inspect her fiefdom in name, and there were more solemn ones, and she had to comply with these arrangements.

When the sedan chair arrived at the city gate, it was seen that many people were already waiting spontaneously on both sides of the road, and the officers and soldiers stood in a row and blocked the side of the road with spears horizontally before they could clear a road that allowed the sedan chair to pass. When the onlookers saw the county lord's sedan chair coming, they crowded forward, and the scene was once hot.

"See the Lord of Ruliang, the Lord of Ruliang is Chitose!" The shouts swept towards Ruan Mianmian from all directions, making her smile a little unnatural, the people are the brightest eyes, as long as they do things for them, they will really love you and respect you, Ruan Mianmian's status in the hearts of Ruliang people at this time is equivalent to the emperor's specifications.

After looking down and thinking for a moment, Ruan Mianmian suddenly lifted the light veil in front of her, and her delicate and bright face immediately appeared in front of the people. At this moment, the people gathered towards her even more fanatically, all wanting to see the true face of the county lord of Ruliang.

The people in the court are born with arrogance, even if there are relatives of the emperor who are willing to sit in the sedan chair and let people vaguely glance at it through the light veil, they are regarded as close to the people and love the people, like Ruan Mianmian opened the sedan chair directly and unobstructed to greet the people for the first time in all dynasties.

Jiang Xinyue, who was also sitting in a sedan chair, saw Ruan Mianmian open the curtain and was so shocked that her jaw was about to fall to the ground, so she immediately gently raised her hand and shook Ruan Mianmian's wrist, shook her head at her, and finally stopped Ruan Mianmian's urge to go out.

Ruan Mianmian stuck out her tongue and sat down obediently again, although she still lifted the sedan curtain, she straightened her sitting posture and looked like that.

All the way into the city gate to the street in the city, the onlookers are even more unexpected, and the careful people have already inquired about the county lord is from a restaurant in the capital, so he also brought home-made food to give to the county lord, holding lunch boxes, holding burdens, and even bringing cages and drawers to the side of the sedan chair, which shows the people's love for Ruan Mianmian.
