Li Yulian looked at the outsiders, and her eyes full of hatred burst into light.

"Uh-huh......"

The person who came was her father, Li Shoude.

She wanted to open her mouth to call her father, but because she was gagged with a rag, she could only let out some small whimpering sounds.

She struggled to run to the people, but the two officials on the left and right held her tightly, and she couldn't break free.

Li Shoude was originally entertaining the distinguished guests from the Zhao family, and the Zhao family came this time to discuss with the Li family the marriage of Li Yulian and the eldest son of the Zhao family.

Li Yulian went to the east of the city to play polo with a few children of Qingzhou City early in the morning.

Li Shoude sent a servant to inform Li Yulian, but they didn't come back after waiting at home for a long time.

It wasn't until not long ago that he knew that Li Yulian had met a gangster on the way home and was taken back to Yamen by Xu County's order.

A woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet has come to the yamen to show her face.

So Li Shoude put down the distinguished guests in the mansion and came to the yamen in person, wanting to bring Li Yulian back.

He originally thought that Xu Xianling had accepted his gift and would definitely not let his daughter suffer.

But as soon as he stepped into the outer hall of the yamen, he saw Li Yulian's head wrapped in a white cloth and covered in blood.

This was not the most surprising to him, what surprised him the most was that Xu Xianling actually had to put Li Yulian in the yamen dungeon before he could be released after a year.

What is the difference between putting an unmarried boudoir woman in prison and murder?

When he heard this, his lungs were about to explode.

"Xu County Order, I don't know what fault the little girl made? To be imprisoned in a dungeon for a year is a punishment that is too severe! ”

Li Shoude's voice was loud, and his words were mixed with anger.

As he spoke, he wanted to enter the court, but two officials came and stopped him.

"The Yamen is important, the county master is trying the case, and the idle people are not allowed to approach!"

Li Shoude was helpless, and said angrily: "Xu County Order, I am Yulian's father, not some idle person, can't I go in if I want to?" ”

Xu Gongran glanced at Xiao Niannian and saw that she was not displeased, so he waved his hand and asked the officials to let Li Shoude in.

As soon as Li Shoude entered, he walked next to Li Yulian and asked with concern, "Lian'er, how are you, Lian'er?" ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Li Yulian felt aggrieved, but she couldn't speak, and her tears flowed in her eyes.

Only then did Li Shoude see that there was still a dirty rag in Li Yulian's mouth, and when he got closer, he could still smell the foul smell emanating from it.

He frowned in disgust and tried to pull out the rag, but was stopped by the officials.

Li Shoude knew that this must be the meaning of Xu County's order.

The people in the yamen were very obedient to Xu County's order, and if they didn't have Xu County's permission, they wouldn't let him take the rag off.

So if you want to save Li Yulian, you have to find Xu County Lingcai.

"Your Excellency!" Li Shoude walked to the front of the hall.

There are also several chairs on either side of the hall, on which several faces are seated.

There was also a little yellow-haired girl sitting on the bookcase, and he was a little strange in his heart, how could the county order let a child sit on the bookcase.

However, all his heart was tied to Li Yulian's body at this time, and he didn't care about anything else, and walked directly to the middle and knelt down towards Xu Gongran, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair.

"My lord! I wonder what crime the little girl has committed and should be punished so severely? The little girl is just a boudoir woman who doesn't know the world, if she is ignorant and bumps into an adult, please be merciful and let go of a horse! If you really want to lock the little girl in the dungeon for a year, then her life will be completely ruined! ”

Li Shoude had calmed down at this time, and his tone was not as angry as before.

Although the Li family is a big family in Qingzhou City, no matter how you say it, it is no bigger than Xu Gongran, who rules the entire Qingzhou City.

He was so angry just now that he said so politely, but now that he has calmed down, he naturally speaks in a good voice.

Xu Gongran glanced at Li Shoude in the audience, and his tone was indifferent.

"Didn't you just hear that? Li despised the court, deceived and lied, delayed the handling of the case, and deliberately provoked, but one year's imprisonment was considered light. ”

Li Shoude hurriedly said: "My lord! Although the little girl is a little domineering, she can be a good person, and she understands all the truths she should understand, how can she despise the court, let alone deliberately provoke, is the adult mistaken, I think ......"

Xu Gongran directly interrupted him: "Are you saying that the official is confused, and he can't even distinguish between right and wrong, right?" ”

His voice was full of displeasure, and it sent chills to his heart.

Li Shoude was so frightened that he kowtowed, "Xiaomin doesn't dare!" Xiaomin doesn't dare! ”

Li Rulan sat in the hall, listening to the familiar voice, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Li Shoude's voice, she hadn't heard it for 12 years.

At first glance, it reminded her of some bad memories.

Li Shoude is five years older than her, and since she was born, he has been used to bullying and teasing her, making her miserable.

If she dared to go to her father to complain, Li Shoude would bully her even harder.

It can be said that during the eighteen years she spent in the Li family, she lived in the shadow of Li Shoude.

It wasn't until she met Shen Zhengwen that she slowly walked out of the shadows.

Now, she was able to face the shadow and wanted to defeat it.

Twelve years have passed, and Li Shoude is still this virtuous.

Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, not repenting, and quibbling when death is imminent.

Looking at Li Shoude's humble appearance in the hall, Li Rulan only felt very funny.

"Heh......"

Looking at it, she really chuckled.

Her laughter was soft, but it was heard in the empty silence of the public hall.

When Li Shoude heard this laughter, he thought he had heard it wrong.

This voice, why is it so much like a person many years ago, a person who was driven out of the Li family by his means.

He looked up to see who was laughing at him.

When he saw Li Rulan with a sarcastic look, the whole person was stunned in place.

He really heard it right, this laughter was really from the person he drove out of the Li family.

Twelve years have passed, but Li Rulan's appearance has not diminished.

Although he was wearing a plain coarse cotton coat and only a blue beaded flower in his hair, he looked more fresh and refined.

Li Shoude heard that she had married into a ravine in the countryside, and that women in the countryside had to work in the fields like men.

It stands to reason that under the perennial wind and rain, Li Rulan should be as dark-skinned and full of vicissitudes as those farmers in the countryside.

But at this time, her skin is fair and transparent, and her complexion is better than that of those ladies who are raised in the inner courtyard of the deep house.

She doesn't look like a person in her thirties at all.

Even standing with seventeen-year-old Li Yulian is not inferior at all, but it has a touch of unique charm, which makes people want to watch it again.

Looking at the burly, handsome man next to her, the two sat intimately together, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary relationship.

And there are five boys sitting next to them, all of whom are very good-looking, and they are five points similar to Li Rulan.

Li Shoude wants to know what their relationship is.

His eyes darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Rulan?" Why are you here? ”

Li Rulan condescendingly glanced at Li Shoude, who was kneeling in the hall, and said in a sarcastic tone: "This official should also respect himself, you and I have nothing to do with each other, my maiden name, how can you call it?" ”
