CHAPTER XXXVII
"The folk girl is not afraid, she is a country man who shows her face, where do you care about the opinions of the outside," Ji Liu hurriedly stepped forward and explained the rhetoric that had been prepared for a long time: "The folk girl knows that she can't be a small vegetable seller for the rest of her life, so if she can follow the adults to the capital to see the world, it will also be beneficial to the folk girl in the future." β
After Sheng Li listened, he was retorting with words, when Wen Yuecheng's voice came in from outside the house, and he said loudly: "Sister Ji is reasonable!" The future is bound to be promising. Xiao Lizi, don't refuse, there is a beautiful little lady behind you, and you will also take advantage of it. β
Then, no matter how Ji Liu reacted, he walked to Sheng Li's side and handed the handover document in his hand to Sheng Li: "This is the document handed over to Li Yu, you take this to Zhaofeng Prison to find Ning Cell, and he will prepare the prisoner car for escort." β
"But ......" according to the relationship between Ji Liu and Li Yu, putting them in one place is easy to cause trouble, Sheng Li glanced at Wenyue City: "This is not a joke, the subordinates are escorting Li Yu into the capital, and there are also a group of people from the State Government Criminal Prison Department along the way, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the girl." β
When he read the word "Li Yu", he raised his volume and emphasized it, Wen Yuecheng understood his deep meaning, and he didn't care much about it, but he looked at Sheng Li, and there was a lot of mention in his tone, and said: "Just because the girl is a woman, it will be more convenient to bring her, after all, the prisoner is also a woman, if there is a problem halfway, the girl will definitely help solve it." β
After Wen Yuecheng finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder, and after Sheng Li pondered for a moment and raised his eyes again, he pushed Sheng Li and walked out, and greeted in his mouth: "Okay, go quickly, leave early, don't let the people in the prison wait." Remember my sister, keep up! β
remembered the matter of the capital city on the willow, and it was decided by Wenyue City in a few words. originally prepared a belly of rhetoric, so he followed Sheng Li to the prison in such a daze, and took Li Yu away.
When she saw Li Yu, she was sitting in the prisoner cart arranged by Ning Cell, Ji Liu looked at it carefully, in addition to the fact that the prisoner cart was ventilated on all sides and had no tiles to cover her head, the horse that pulled people was much stronger than the mule in Wenyue City.
Li Yu sat inside, at least it wouldn't be like last time, fast and slow, up and down, up and down, on the other hand, it was also a good thing.
Ji Liu shifted her gaze to the six prison officials who followed, she had been in Zhaofeng County for many days, no matter what she did, Wen Yuecheng could only give up two people, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, as Lord Wen said, she has a lot of money." β
Sheng Li sat on the edge of the prisoner car with her, he estimated that the image of Wenyue City slamming the door had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and couldn't help but argue: "When Lord Wen took office, it happened that the Yamen in Zhaofeng County suddenly caught fire and burned it clean, in order to get the yamen back in order to get the yamen back in order to get it done as soon as possible, he used all the money he brought to take office, followed by the Hundred Flowers Festival, the day when the people prayed in their hearts, it was always not easy to fool, and it was a big expense." β
At the beginning, Sheng Li had just taken office, and he witnessed how Wen Yuecheng repaired the back house step by step, and how he worked hard to repair most of the destroyed documents, even if only part of it was completed until now, it was worthy of his admiration.
"Once, he stood on top of the yamen hall with his back to the gate," Sheng Li looked at Ji Liu's curious eyes and continued: "He said, fortunately, the hanging mirror has not been burned, as long as the main hall is still there, the yamen is there!" β
After the narration of the ceremony, remembering Liu Xinjue, Wen Yuecheng looked at Jiao'er Langdang on weekdays, in fact, she was quite reliable, she asked worriedly: "Lord Wen used up all the money?" β
"After the silver of the yamen was smashed into it, it was like a stream flowing into the river and the sea, without waves and waves, he had only been an official for a few years, a poor student, where is the money."
"That ......"
Sheng Li remembered that time, and unconsciously felt a little sorry for Wen Yuecheng, but couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips: "He went to the casino." β
"Huh?!" Ji Liu was dumbfounded for a while, she couldn't imagine that Wen Yuecheng once had a face that had not yet grown full, and blended into such a smoky place, and she was not allowed to be bullied to the point that she didn't even have obscene pants left.
"I don't know how he got it, he won a lot of silver in one day, and he went for three days in a row, and he directly earned enough." You need to talk about it when you rush left and right, otherwise it will be very boring, and a few people on both sides will also surround it.
They only knew about the fire, but they didn't know how much Wenyuecheng had paid in order to restore the yamen to normal, no one intervened, and everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Sheng Li continued: "On the third night, when Master Wen came out of the casino, he was dragged into a small alley and beaten, with a blue nose and swollen face, and purple marks all over his body and returned to the yamen, and I found him the next day. β
"Then I'm going to find someone to call back!" A man said indignantly.
Sheng Li shook his head: "No, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, the person who beat the person is obviously sent by the casino, Lord Wen just came, the foundation is already unstable, if the people know again, their newly appointed county lord stays in the casino all day long, how can everyone be convinced?!" β
"So what, Lord Wen is for the sake of the Zhaofeng County Ya, and he can't make this decision, how can the people blame him." Another prison officer said.
The people around responded one after another, and after Sheng Li heard it, he shook his head with a wry smile, only Ji Liu understood the reason, she glanced at Li Yu, who was bowing her head and pretending to sleep, and whispered: "Because the world will only watch, what they want to see, no one cares what the truth is." β
"That's right," Sheng Li looked at Ji Liu in surprise, this was the same as what Wen Yuecheng said that day, and he praised him: "Miss Ji is smart, and Lord Wen said the same thing." The next day, he took the money out of his arms and rested it on his chest all night, leaving a large bruise, all like this, and grinning and saying, fortunately he just came, and no one in Zhaofeng County knew this handsome face. β
"It would be nice if this mouth could change," Ji Liu was just a little moved, and she was destroyed, she remembered Sheng Li's family background, and asked, "Why didn't Master Wen borrow money from you?" β
"I don't know, the kid took the money to Master Wen, but he refused to accept it." Sheng Li only remembered that when he took out the silver coin, Wen Yuecheng's face seemed to be a little green, and the aura around him was not as happy as before.
Among the prison officials who escorted Li Yu, one of them was the middle-aged man who led the way to the three of them that night, after he knew the hardships of Wenyue City, he regretted it a lot, and said: "No wonder the last time I came to the prison, Lord Wen's carriage was pulled by a mule, it was a small inappropriate speech, and I hope Sheng Yu will have a chance to apologize for the little one." β
After the others learned about this, a cold and hard man was touched, and he said distressedly: "It's really pitiful, in those days, didn't Lord Wen even afford to eat meat!" β
Sheng Li looked at the man who said this, as if he saw his former self, he sighed: "That's not it, what you said about Master Wen, who can't afford to eat meat, will follow the kid home all day long to fight the autumn breeze, during that time, not only did he not lose weight, but he also gained a lot of weight." β
"No wonder Master Wen has milk fat on his face......"
Ji Liu said thoughtfully, causing everyone to laugh, Wen Yuecheng is still the county lord who always does things unexpectedly.
Several people chatted happily, and in the evening, they set up camp and campfires, which were even more lively, as if they were not escorting prisoners, but a group of people going to the state capital to play.
At this time, the Sheng family's big house in Zhaofeng County was not as harmonious as theirs, the sky was getting dark, Sheng Chuxuan, the uncle of the Sheng family, angrily kicked open the gate of the courtyard, and his always elegant expression was replaced by anger, and he yelled at Chen Fuyue, who was sitting leisurely in the house and drinking tea: "You helped that stinky boy escape again!" Father's words, you don't want to listen to them at all, Chen Fuyue, are you going to completely ruin the Sheng family to be happy?! β
"What?! Blamed by the head of the house? Hahaha, you deserve it! "Chen Fuyue's criterion for facing the enemy is that if he is not happy, she will be happy enough to take off, as long as she can make Sheng Chuxuan feel a thorn in her heart, she will be happier.
"You ......" Sheng Chu Xuan couldn't even speak, he trembled and pointed at Chen Fuyue, and finally just shook his sleeves and shouted: "A loving mother is a loser!" β
Years of experience in the Anti-Japanese War told him that anger can't solve the problem, not to mention that there is no turning back, Sheng Chuxuan said helplessly: "You know what Sheng Li may face when he goes to the capital, even if you don't value the Sheng family, don't you even care about him?" After so many years, there is no distress at all? β
"I don't feel sorry for him? In the entire Sheng Mansion, except for me, no one really feels sorry for him! Every one of you regards him as a poison that has no cure, and you can't wait for him to become your puppet, and hide in the Sheng family forever and don't see anyone. β
In this Sheng Mansion, although Sheng Chuxuan is the next head of the family, he can't be the master for the time being, the big house is a tumor in the Sheng family, Sheng Bohong may give them up at any time for the sake of Sheng Li, how dare he collide with Sheng Bohong, the only way to analyze the pros and cons is to Chen Fuyue, and let her let go of the Sheng family: "This is not for the good of the Sheng family, don't forget, you are also a member of the Sheng family, if you want to cut off your head, you can't escape." β
"Hah! Could it be that I have been silent for a long time, but I have made you forget! Chen Fuyue watched him retreat step by step for the position of the head of a family, until now he could fall into the abyss at any time, but even so, she still couldn't see the reality clearly, she stood up, approached Sheng Chuxuan, and sneered: "I am Chen Fuyue, the daughter of Chen Xian, the emperor of the Three Dynasties, my father once delivered materials to the border pass, and with the strength of one family, he supported the entire Jingguo army, and the emperor gave my Chen family an iron ticket to avoid death!" β
She forced Sheng Chuxuan out of the door, and Chen Fuyue leaned on the door frame and asked him: "Can my father keep me, can your father?!" Sheng Chuxuan, do you think your father's group of protΓ©gΓ©s, which one dares to anger Long Yan for you?! β
After speaking, she didn't bother to look at Sheng Chuxuan's pale face for a moment, and directly raised her hand to close the door heavily, and then shouted outward: "Si Mian, send off!" β
"Uncle, please." Chen Simian's response, accompanied by Sheng Chuxuan's only woman and the villain's difficulty in raising it, also spread to the house, causing Chen Fuyue to sneer again and again, and tears oozed from the corners of her eyes from time to time.
