Chapter 52: It's Time to Leave
At this time, after dealing with the notice, Xie Jinlan handed Li Xiaoya's body to a strict-mouthed cook in the inner courtyard, and then instructed her to buy Li Xiaoya a good dress and shoes.
After repeatedly telling her not to be quiet, Xie Jinlan instructed the little maid in the courtyard to boil hot water and send it to the ear room.
After bathing and changing clothes again, and tidying up himself, Xie Jinlan raised his feet and went to the study.
When he reappeared at the door of the study, he had an unsigned letter in his hand.
From the mouth of the servant, it was learned that Master Chen went to the file room, and Xie Jinlan turned around and walked there.
Master Chen, who was writing the closing record in the file room, couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand after hearing the movement at the door.
After seeing that it was Xie Jinlan, Master Chen got up and came to him, bowed, and said, "My lord." ”
Xie Jinlan said: "Master Chen, now that the truth has been revealed, you can arrange for someone to return Li Bao'er's body to his family as soon as possible." ”
Master Chen bowed his head slightly: "Yes, my lord!" ”
Then, Xie Jinlan handed the letter in his hand into his hand: "Master Chen, you go to Lijia Village tomorrow and hand over this letter to the village chief." ”
Master Chen took the letter and put it away: "Yes, my lord." ”
Xie Jinlan said again:
"Before going to the village chief's house, the official has something else to say, which I need you to convey to Li Daniu's father and son. It's just that this Li Daniu has to go out to work early every morning, and Master Chen needs to leave early. By the way, let's take the ink inkstone back by then. ”
Master Chen didn't think it was difficult, and nodded directly.
After Xie Jinlan explained the matter clearly, he said hard work to Master Chen, and then left the file room with his feet raised.
In the evening, the villagers who went to work in the town returned to Lijia Village one after another. At the same time, they also brought the latest notices posted at the entrance of the yamen.
After Li Tiezhu's family learned the truth about Li Baoer's murder, the family instantly jumped and became a pot of porridge.
Li Xiaoya is dead, and Li Tiegen and Zhang can only vent all their anger on Chen. The three of them directly scolded and stepped forward, punching and kicking her mercilessly.
If it weren't for this slut beating Li Xiaoya's dead girl, how could the dead girl harm Bao'er! This slut pretends to be very good on weekdays......
As her husband, Li Tiezhu just stood quietly aside, looking at Chen who was holding his head and screaming in pain with a complicated expression.
He and Chen have been married for more than ten years. For so many years, even if the Chen family has no merit, there is hard work in this family.
But he is also Xiaoya's biological father! It's because he is too cowardly on weekdays and neglects his daughter too much! This made her daughter want to get rid of Li Xiaoya's identity when she was dying!
The beating did not discourage the trio. In the end, it was decided by the Zhang family to let Li Tiezhu take a leave of absence from Chen's vicious daughter-in-law!
When Chen heard this, he couldn't care about the pain in his body, so he quickly knelt in front of Zhang, hugged her thigh, and pleaded with tears in his eyes.
Before he got married, Chen was not loved by his family. If she is abandoned and returned to her mother's house for the reason of malice, I am afraid that the future life will be more than three times more miserable than now!
Zhang didn't have the slightest soft-heartedness, kicked Chen away fiercely, and dropped a sentence: "This letter of resignation must be written immediately!" Come with me to the village chief's house for notarization! Then he took the lead and walked out the door.
Li Tiegen and his wife glanced at each other, and dragged the reluctant Chen out of the house.
Li Tiezhu then followed the pace of several people......
At dawn on the second day, two different carriages were quietly parked outside the back door of the county office. One is used to carry people, and a small Nanmu coffin is parked on the other.
At the front of the two cars, two strong men sat respectively.
These four people are none other than the strict-mouthed people that Xie Jinlan selected from the many catches yesterday.
After a while, the four of them saw Xie Jinlan walking out of the inner courtyard alone.
The four of them got out of the carriage and bowed to him: "My lord! ”
Xie Jinlan raised his hand to signal that the four of them did not need to be polite, and then strode into the carriage.
After Xie Jinlan lowered the curtain, his slightly majestic voice came out of the carriage: "Let's go!" ”
Two of them waved their whips, and the two carriages slowly drove away from the county office.
In the car, Ruan Yezhen sat opposite Xie Jinlan, and she was quite touched in her heart:
Yesterday, when night fell, she was not sucked to the date tree. It can be seen that her original guess was right. Maybe soon, she'll be able to return to her body. Over the years, she has seen a lot of things that she didn't know before, and she has learned a lot from them.
Glancing at Xie Jinlan, who was close in front of her, but with a different look from the past, Ruan Yezhen's heart suddenly rose a little reluctantly:
Although this man always her off, he is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is much better than those humble gentlemen in Beijing......
After the carriage reached the hillside that Li Xiaoya said, the sky was about to turn white.
chose an inconspicuous place, Xie Jinlan and four catchers in civilian clothes dug a pit and buried Li Xiaoya.
After letting the four of them leave in the carriage first, Xie Jinlan stood in front of the tombstone with his hands in his hands, quietly staring at the 'Tomb of Yan Lingyun' written by himself, and was silent for a long time.
At this moment, Ruan Yezhen on the side actually felt a trace of sadness from Xie Jinlan's body.
It wasn't until the sound of a rooster crowing not far away that Ruan Yezhen called Xie Jinlan: "Xie Jinlan, I think, it's time to say goodbye to you." ”
When Xie Jinlan heard this, he raised his eyes to look at her, and a trace of unclear emotion flashed in his eyes.
Ruan Yezhen took a deep breath, suppressed the reluctance in her heart, and then the corners of her mouth rose slightly:
"The truth of the case has been revealed, and Xiaoya has been laid to peace. Maybe it won't be long before I'll be back where I came from. Xie Jinlan, thank you really for these days. ”
Just as Ruan Yezhen's words fell, Xie Jinlan's pupils shrank, as if he had seen something incredible.
Following his line of sight, Ruan Yezhen looked down. I saw her own body, which was slowly disappearing from the bottom up at the moment.
But she didn't feel panicked, but smiled faintly at Xie Jinlan:
"Xie Jinlan, I'm leaving soon. It seems that until now, I haven't told you my name, have I? The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. Remember, my name is Nguyen Ye Zhen. Xie Jinlan, we are destined to meet again. Also, take good care of Xiaobai for me. ”
The next moment, Ruan Yezhen's whole person completely disappeared in front of Xie Jinlan. It's as if there has never been her existence in heaven and earth.
Looking at the direction in which Ruan Yezhen disappeared, a smile flashed in Xie Jinlan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
An inaudible murmur overflowed from his mouth, but it quickly disappeared with the wind: "Goodbye, Miss Ruan Yezhen, the county lord of the Daye Dynasty......"
