Chapter 19: The Arrogance of the Imperial Family (1)
Evening.
When Ye Xuan returned to his small courtyard, the smell of rice porridge was wafting from the kitchen.
Xiang Ling was sitting in front of the stove, holding his chin in a daze, and after a while added a piece of firewood to the stove.
Ye Xuan walked in lightly, handed the jujube cake to the little girl, and said happily, "Look what this is?"
Xiang Ling looked back, stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth again, and tears fell down.
"Why are you crying?" Ye Xuan hurriedly asked.
"Bad brother...... Stinky brother...... I thought you weren't coming back......" The little girl cried and beat Ye Xuan's chest.
Ye Xuan hurriedly hugged her, peeled off the paper bag of the jujube cake, and coaxed: "Okay, okay, don't cry, what do you think this is?"
After coaxing for a while, the little girl didn't cry, leaned on Ye Xuan's arms, ate jujube cakes, and fed Ye Xuan a bite from time to time.
Soon, Xiang Ling ate most of a large piece of jujube cake, and the rest was reluctant to eat, so he carefully wrapped it in paper.
"Why don't you eat it?" Ye Xuan watched her eat, very happy in his heart, and asked strangely when he saw that she didn't eat.
Xiang Ling pursed his lips and said, "There is no rice at home, and the silver is gone." Save it for tomorrow to save a meal. ”
Ye Xuan touched her head and said, "Eat." We're not short of money in the future. ”
"Really?" asked Xiang Ling.
"Of course it's true. Ye Xuan flipped his palm, took out a bulging money bag from the storage ring, put it in the little girl's hand, and then said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Xiang Ling opened the money bag and looked at it, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said happily: "That's a lot of silver! Brother, how can you have so much silver?"
"I dug up a very valuable elixir and sold it to the Elixir Pavilion to earn it. ”
Hunting demon beasts was a dangerous thing after all, Ye Xuan didn't want Xiang Ling to worry, so he didn't say anything.
Xiang Ling held the money bag and said happily: "So much silver, enough for us to spend for several years." ”
"In the future, you don't have to be so economical, you can eat and buy whatever you want, and buy what you like. Ye Xuan said.
Xiang Ling pursed his lips and was silent for a while before saying, "But...... I don't want you to go out anymore. ”
There were many accidents when I entered the Yunhai Mountains this time, so it took more than a month to leave, which really worried this little girl.
Ye Xuan pinched her little face and comforted: "Brother promises, I won't go that long in the future." ”
"Pull the hook!" Xiang Ling stretched out his little finger with a small face and said very seriously.
Ye Xuan smiled, stretched out his little finger and pulled the hook with her, and the little girl put away the silver with satisfaction.
......
Night.
Ye Xuan comfortably leaned on the bathtub to take a bath, he didn't take a good bath when he went out for more than a month, and when he came home to take a hot bath, he was as comfortable as a fairy.
Xiang Ling came in with a bucket, heated the water in the bathtub, reached out to test the temperature of the water after adding hot water, and then turned around and went out to pick up hot water.
"No need to heat the water. Ye Xuan was afraid that she would be tired, so he said out loud.
"The water is not hot enough, it will be cold after a while. Xiang Ling said as he walked out.
"If it's cold, don't wash it. Ye Xuan stretched and said.
That's when it happened.
A series of hurried footsteps came, and the three of them hurried into the small courtyard.
Xiang Ling hurriedly stopped at the door and said loudly: "My brother is taking a bath, don't come in!"
The three people who broke into the small courtyard shouted angrily: "Ye Xuan, if you get into trouble, you want to hide, get out of here!"
Ye Xuan put on clean clothes, walked out and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The Great Elder told you to go to the council chamber! Don't try to trouble us!" the three of them said.
Ye Xuan could probably guess what was going on, comforted Xiang Ling a few words, and followed the three of them to the family meeting hall.
As soon as I arrived outside the council hall, I saw two teams of warriors standing on both sides of the door of the council hall.
One of the teams was a Ye family martial artist, but the other team was not.
When he walked into the conference hall, he saw several elders of the Ye family and the other group sitting on both sides, facing each other.
After a closer look, it is not difficult to recognize that this group of people is the people of the Huangfu family, one of the three major families in Liuyun City, headed by the current head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Dengwei, and behind him are the other elders of the Huangfu family.
Ye Qingcang saw Ye Xuan coming in, and said loudly: "Ye Xuan is here, you can recognize people." ”
Huangfu Dengwei waved his hand, and immediately a thug from the Huangfu family stood up from the back row, just glanced at it, then pointed at Ye Xuan, and said loudly: "It's him!
Boom!
Huangfu Dengwei smashed the coffee table with one palm and stood up, and said angrily: "Dare to hurt my Huangfu Dengwei's son, do you know how to write death?"
As he spoke, Huangfu Dengwei stepped in front of Ye Xuan, raised his palm and was about to smash Ye Xuan's Heavenly Spirit Cover with one palm.
Electrifying and flint.
Ye Qingyang stepped in front of Ye Xuan in one step, and said in an easy-going tone: "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, why should the head of the Huangfu family be in such a hurry." ”
All the elders of the Ye family sat firmly in their chairs, and only the second elder Ye Qingyang, who usually didn't care about anything, stood up to speak for Ye Xuan.
Seeing this situation, Ye Xuan had already roughly guessed what the situation was now.
The Huangfu family is one of the three major martial arts families in Liuyun City, and its strength is much stronger than that of the Ye family.
However, the Huangfu family is strong, but if you really want to fight to the death, the Huangfu family will not feel good.
If the Ye family is tough, they can actually talk to the Huangfu family on an equal footing.
However, the elders of the Ye family present were silent, obviously not wanting to make a feud with the Huangfu family for Ye Xuan.
The second elder, Ye Qingyang, stood up at this time.
As a great elder, Ye Qingcang naturally couldn't say nothing, raised his hand and said: "Brother Huangfu sit down first, let's ask things clearly first, if it is really my Ye family's people who make a mistake, I will definitely give Brother Huangfu an explanation." ”
"Humph!"
Huangfu Dengwei snorted coldly, walked back to his seat and sat down, and ordered to accept it: "How is the matter, say!"
The thugs of the Huangfu family immediately pointed at Ye Xuan and complained: "It's him! It was he who saw that our young master and the eldest lady of the Ye family had a close relationship, so he was jealous and hated and beat our young master. ”
"Fart!"
Ye Xuan originally wanted to hear what the Huangfu family had to say, but when he heard it, he immediately scolded angrily: "I thought the three major martial arts families in Liuyun City were so majestic? If the Huangfu family oppresses people with power, it can be considered strong and arrogant enough, but with this kind of cheap means of reversing black and white, the style is really low enough!"
"Boy, you're looking for death!" Huangfu stood up with a roar.
Ye Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered: "There were so many people on the street at that time, just find someone to ask, and you will know who picked the matter." ”
"You want witnesses, right? I'll give you witnesses. ”
Huangfu Dengwei waved to the door and ordered, "Bring people in!"
Immediately there was a shout of rebuke outside.
"Get in!"
With the sound of shouting and reprimanding, an old man in his fifties and sixties was pushed into the meeting hall, and it was the old man Liu who sold jujube cakes.
Old man Liu staggered into the council hall, his back and body were crisscrossed with whip marks, the white-washed linen clothes on his body were all scratched, and the blood-red wounds were shocking.
Old man Liu didn't dare to look up at people at all, so he bowed his head tremblingly: "The nobles spare their lives, the villain just does some small business to support his family, begging the nobles to spare their lives!"
A thug of the Imperial Fu family raised his whip, slapped it on Old Man Liu's body with a "snap", and shouted: "Say! How did the Ye family's waste hurt our third young master!"
