Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dethronement
"Commander, ahead is the door of the cottage." After quietly hitting a few sentry bandits, the Praetorian Guards gradually approached the door of the cottage.
Ji Yunqi was excited in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to rush forward with the government soldiers, but after thinking about it in excitement, he retreated, smiling and letting Ji Yunyi and them go first.
Several Praetorian Guards mockingly looked at him as greedy and afraid of death, and no one moved, just waiting for the commander's order to rush to the mountain bandits' village.
At this time, a group of people poured out at the door of the stockade, Ji Yunyi's expression was grim, and after a gesture, the forbidden soldiers picked up their bows and arrows in unison, aiming at these mountain bandits who were walking in step by step without noticing.
"Bow and arrow, bow and arrow!" Ji Yunqi also hurriedly ordered the government soldiers.
There were about thirty or forty mountain bandits, and when I walked in, I saw that there were two or three female mountain bandits mixed in.
Wait a minute! No, Ji Yunyi shouted: "Stop me!" ”
"Quick, give me the arrows!" Ji Yunqi has no regard for it, such a good opportunity, the arrow is on the bow, no one can stop me from exterminating the bandits!
"Not good, there are officers and soldiers!" The dragon boss was alert here, but unfortunately it was too late, and more than a dozen sharp arrows shot over with a strong wind. In an instant, seven or eight people fell to the ground with arrows.
One of them went straight towards Gui Mingyue, and Ji Yunyi was shocked, but it was too late.
Just when the arrow was about to pierce Gui Mingyue's skin and pierce his chest, Kankan stopped.
It turned out that one hand quickly held the handle of the arrow, and then Li Mobai's eyes were fierce, and he turned the arrow with a trace of blood in his hand and was about to throw it towards the opposite side, but was stopped by Gui Mingyue.
"Everyone, please stop, we are not gangsters, but caravans." Gui Mingyue endured the pain of the arrow wound and shouted loudly to the front.
"Huh, caravan? Tricksters, keep firing arrows! "Ji Yunqi doesn't care if they are real caravans or not.
"Who dare!" Ji Yunyi said sharply, and then wounded the soldier who shot Gui Mingyue to the ground with one palm, and he was so angry that he wanted to make up for it, but was stopped by his subordinates.
Ji Yunqi said hatefully: "Big brother, you are stopping us from suppressing bandits!" ”
"Withdraw!" Ji Yunyi said coldly.
"Ji Yunyi! You're a tiger returning to the mountain! Ji Yunqi shouted angrily.
"Whoever dares to release another arrow will not blame me for being ruthless." Ji Yunyi was full of the power to kill, and the persecuted Ji Yunqi and those government soldiers had to bow their heads and pack up their weapons and withdraw.
Ji Yunyi? Does he want his own life? When Gui Mingyue heard someone shouting, she only thought he hated it, but she didn't expect him to have such a big hatred for herself, men in this era are too terrible, and they have to be guarded against, and they have to be careful every step they take in the future.
"Boss, let's take the secret passage!" I don't know why the officers and soldiers in front didn't kill again, taking advantage of this gap, Boss Long and the others hurriedly escorted the injured Gui Mingyue and retreated to the secret passage.
Ji Yunqi didn't expect Ji Yunyi to dare to blatantly release the bandits, and when he returned to Beijing, he had to join him, hehe, now see how he turns over!
After Ji Yunqi and the others left, Ji Yunyi personally took people to check the village, the whole village was in tatters, there was no one, and the secret passage was found, but there was no one inside.
"Remove the entire stockade," Ji Yunyi commanded in a cold voice: "What you see today, no one can publicize it, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" ”
"Yes!"
Boss Long pressed the head of the Sui dart whose leg was shot through, found the 45,000 taels of silver tickets that he had privately hidden, and then handed them over to Gui Mingyue's hand in its entirety.
"Miss, now that you are injured, you should not go to Lanzhou City in person." Silver Pendant said worriedly.
"Yes, don't worry, everything is left to me and Brother Long," Li Mobai also said, he had long disagreed with Gui Mingyue to go again.
Gui Mingyue glanced at the caravan she had formed, whether it was Boss Long or Liu Baier, who had already recovered his name, they were all wise and resourceful people, and it would not be a problem for Li Mobai, who was very proficient.
Excluding the officers and soldiers brought by Ji Yunyi who shot and killed nearly ten brothers, there are still twenty-three people now. Gui Mingyue, with the assistance of Boss Long, selected ten and the shopkeeper and men he brought to form a caravan, and the rest were brought back to Yucun to make arrangements.
Boss Long, these people are the victims of the disaster in Taiyuan Mansion, although the family is gone, but they still have household registration, and they can settle down as long as they go back to the government and register again.
Unexpectedly, at that time, the urgency of the situation was to let the silver pendant take the silver ticket that had not yet had time to deposit into the money bank on the road, and it led to such an encounter, which has to be said to be a blessing due to fate and misfortune.
Li Mobai sent Gui Mingyue and the two maids back to Bianliang City, and deposited the silver tickets into the Risheng Money Village, which had branches all over the major states and counties of the Dadong Dynasty, and it was more convenient to use the silver. Then he rushed back overnight to join the rest of the caravan.
Bianliang Town, Guohou Mansion.
"Yi'er, why are you so confused! If you do such a wrong thing and anger the heavenly family, don't blame your father for not interceding for you. Ji Shangchang scolded with hatred that iron is not steel.
The eldest prince happened to find Ji Yunyi's mistake at this time, and he took a copy in front of Emperor Wen. Fortunately, in the end, there was no conclusive evidence that Ji Yunyi secretly released the mountain bandits, but it was also a big crime for him to mobilize the Praetorian Guards without reason.
In the end, Emperor Wen issued a holy decree to demote Ji Yunyi to a place to be a civil official in name only.
This time undoubtedly made the second prince lose a strong arm, the eldest prince couldn't help but be proud, and promoted Ji Yunqi, although the prince of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion is a straw bag, but this straw bag also played a big role at the critical moment.
Ji Yunyi, who knew that he had been degraded, did not react to his father's words, and Shi Shiran bypassed him and went back to his yard.
"Look at what kind of attitude he has!"
"Master, this Yi brother has always been ridiculous, and this time he planted such a big heel, which just happened to make him have a long memory." Mrs. Ji persuaded.
"Humph! It's all to blame for his useless aunt, who only knows how to give birth to children, and doesn't know how to discipline them well, which really me off. Ji Shangchang said angrily.
Mrs. Ji got up and offered a cup of tea, and said softly: "Don't be angry, master, right now, our brother Qi has won the favor of the eldest prince, and he said that he would recommend him to the ministry." ”
"Okay, good" When Ji Shangchang heard this, he immediately stroked the eldest lady's hand, and his eyebrows couldn't help but soften.
"Master, you let me find him," before I saw him, a coquettish voice came from outside the hall, and then a woman with a graceful and plump figure and a charming charm flowing from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows moved in quickly.
The person who came was the third aunt in the house, Aunt Xue, she was just over thirty years old, but she was well maintained, and her skeleton was light, and she looked like a person who still wanted to be in her teens. This person is not only good-looking, but also sleek and funny, although there have been a lot of newcomers in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion over the years, but only she has been petting tirelessly.
"Why are you here, Brother Jun is still good? Let's go, I'll go back with you, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I miss this child. Ji Shangchang greeted him with a smile, Brother Jun is his old man, and now he is the flesh and blood of his heart.
Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving in pairs, as well as Aunt Xue's son Ji Yunjun, who had just come out of the full moon, the eldest lady couldn't help but bite her silver teeth when she thought of this.
Ji Yunyi is about to take office in the near future, and he doesn't have any luggage to pack in the mansion, so he only went to Ji Yunlang's courtyard and told him that he would take him with him, and he must not leave his simple and kind brother alone in this Hou Mansion surrounded by tigers and wolves.
Yun Lang has always listened to him the most, and he didn't ask where he was going after listening, but only asked the little guy who was serving him to quickly pack up his usual belongings.
On the second day, the two brothers left the Zhenguo Mansion. Ji Yunchang knew that Ji Yunyi took his younger brother with him, but it was rare that he had no objection, or he had become indifferent since he knew that this son would not be able to walk normally for the rest of his life. Mrs. Ji is even more so, a lame person, you can go wherever you like, and you have to find someone to serve you in the house.
Let's say that a few days later, Gui Mingyue returned to Nanyang County, and the little flesh wound on her body was carefully cared for by the tortoiseshell, and it was soon fine.
The business in Angelica Pavilion still hasn't improved much, but Gui Mingyue is not in a hurry at all, it's not that she has no way to make the shop popular again, but it's not the right time yet.
The eldest brother Gui Chengzhi is busy on both sides of Hu Bugui Flower Shop and Yushan every day, and he is almost not at home; The younger brother Gui Chengqi studied in the school of the General's Mansion during the day, and sometimes Meng Fuzi would leave him alone to open a small stove until late, and he could only go to the shop at night to sleep for one night; Father Gui Hongyuan and a few colleagues in the county together to run the academy school is also on the right track, although the scale is not large, but there is an endless stream of students to study, as the dean he is even more busy.
On this day, it is rare for everyone to gather.
Yu Shi spoke first: "Yue'er and Xue'er, our mother-in-law, are discussing and want to move to the county, in this situation, the three of you father and son are busy in the county every day, and Yue'er's shop is also in the county, and it is time to buy a house in the county." ”
Gui Hongyuan nodded: "Yes, yes, I also have this intention as a husband." ”
"Are you really going to move to Nanyang County?" Gui Chengqi is also very happy, and he can ask his master about teaching at any time in the future.
Gui Jingxue nodded with a smile and said, "It's really convenient to go to the county." "And many of my good classmates are also in the county, so I can move around a lot in the future.
"Then leave this matter to Brother Zhi and Yue'er," Yu said.
"Yes, yes, their brother and sister have always done things properly, so they will do it." Gui Hongyuan laughed loudly, the address of the academy was chosen by Brother Zhi'er, it was big and quiet, and the silver taels for buying land and building the academy were also from their brothers and sisters, which made him earn enough face and confidence in front of those colleagues. Thinking about this capable brother and sister, he is not proud and proud in his heart.
The brother and sister turned Nanyang around, and also looked for a few guards in the city, and finally decided to buy a large Sanjin compound, which happened to be near their father's academy and also on Wenyuan Street.
The environment is quiet, there are several wealthy gentry nearby, and there is a Bai Mansion on this street, this Bai Mansion is a hundred-year-old family, and the Bai Lord, who was previously a county official and has now been promoted to Beijing, was born here.
