The wedding day of Huo Yan and the Sun family's lady is approaching, and the servants and servants who were in charge of the courtyard and the Dongjiao courtyard were busy before, and even Yilan and Grandma Sun, who took care of Ye Ying on weekdays, were also busy these days.

Yilan was stunned with three boxes of candied fruits in her hand, and walked all the way along the corridor to the West Corner Garden, but when she arrived at the West Corner Garden, she remembered that this was supposed to be sent to the kitchen.

When Mama Sun saw her absent-minded appearance, it was as if she had been called away by the king of Hades. But in the morning, I just reprimanded her twice, and in the afternoon, I cut a few red happy characters that melted gold leaf.

Mama Sun rolled her eyes and scolded her: "Yilan, you come out with me!" ”

She woke up suddenly and walked out the door in a panic.

Grandma Sun was even more angry when she saw that she was still like this, "What's the matter with you girl?" Do you want to work in the General's Mansion anymore? I see that you are also a steady child on weekdays, why have you been absent-minded these days! ”

"Ahh No, nothing. Maybe I was a little tired from doing things a few days ago! Yilan replied nonchallowedly.

Mama Sun didn't believe a word, but sarcastic: "Your cheap life was picked up by the general from Yunzhou, and you think that now you are serving the lady and there are more of these golden diseases?" Is it okay to be so lazy at a young age? ”

was said by Mama Sun like this, Yilan was even more aggrieved in her heart, her white little face was flushed, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

She thought about it and told Mama Sun about the scene that happened in Xiangbaozhai a few days ago.

Mama Sun thought about her words, and began to have some questions in her heart, as if Ye Ying was not familiar with the affairs of her hometown.

Grandma Sun and the Huo family are fellow villagers, but whenever she chats with Ye Ying, she is always vague, and then cleverly finds some other reasons to prevaricate in the past.

The two pondered carefully, and Yilan asked, "Mama, look, do you want to talk to the general and his wife about this?" ”

"This, how can this be spoken! Where can we, who are the subordinates, be able to control the affairs of the Lord's house? Besides, we don't have any ironclad evidence! Even if you suspect that this lady is fake, there is no way! ”

"What's not going to work? Why don't you listen to me and let me help? ”

Ye Ying's familiar voice came, and the two of them couldn't help but shudder. Mama Sun replied in a hurry: "Where is the trouble of the lady, it's just a trivial matter like Yilan just carelessly cutting a few gold leaf happy characters." ”

"Really? It's just a few gold leaf words, why are you still crying? ”

"No, no, Xu just choked his eyes with incense ashes." Yilan flatly denied that there was a different kind of conversation, "Is there something wrong with the lady coming to me?" ”

"It's something, come out with me."

Ye Ying gave an order, Yilan looked at Grandma Sun, and the two of them had a tacit idea.

Out of the house, Yilan just lowered her head and followed behind Ye Ying, originally every time she went out, the master and servant were talking and laughing, Yilan would ask the little guy who often went out to prepare for the family to ask about the new and interesting places in those places in the city, and then tell Ye Ying to make her happy.

But since that day, the atmosphere between them has become delicate.

"I heard everything you just said."

Ye Ying broke the frozen atmosphere, but she was still so calm and relaxed.

"Then, ...... that lady?"

Yilan didn't dare to ask any more, she didn't dare and didn't want to know the answer to such a big thing.

"It doesn't matter if I'm true or not, what matters is that my father and wife want to believe who I am. If you follow me, if I soar or even climb the dragon and phoenix in the future, you will naturally not suffer. But if you mention this matter to your wife, it is nothing more than two results, either your wife believes it, drives me out of the house or even kills me, then you can only find a random little girl to marry in this mansion in the future, and live a life of poverty and mediocrity. Either the lady doesn't believe it, then you are a wicked person who slanders the lady of the General's Mansion, and you will be punished to do some hard labor and rough work, and you will be punished at worst...... You're a smart girl, I don't think I'll need to say it too clearly! ”

As Ye Ying said, Yilan is very smart and clever, otherwise she would not have doubted what happened before.

At this time, she suddenly realized that she had followed Ye Ying to the vicinity of the prison of the Criminal Department, and it happened that a group of officials were holding ox tendon whips and whipping the prisoners with shackles behind them.

The cow tendon whip was made of ox tendon and a few strands of hemp rope, and some sharp iron wire was mixed into it, and the whip was covered with barbs, and when the whip was pulled down and the hand was raised, the flesh of the prisoner's body was pulled open.

Coincidentally, at this time, a prisoner firmly grasped Ye Ying's gaze.

The man was tall, and his prison uniform had long been ragged from the leather whip, and the edges were oozing deep and shallow blood marks. At this time, although he was a little thin, he could see that his muscles and bones were strong and his steps were steady, and he knew at a glance that he was a person who practiced martial arts.

He was followed by a yellow-skinned, unkempt child, and when a servant saw that the child was a little slow, he immediately whipped it down.

But the man shrewdly stood in front of the child, and angrily reprimanded: "He is just a child, he is implicated by the clansmen, how can you bully the weak as a yacha!" ”

"You prisoners, if it weren't for Li Gong's open kindness, you would have been beheaded together a long time ago, and now leave you a dog to let you go to Mobei, what nonsense!"

The man's words made the man grit his teeth with hatred, and his fist clenched tighter, and he slammed into the officer, but his hands and feet were bound by heavy chains. When the officials on the other side saw that he was making trouble, they immediately pressed him to the ground, and all of them rushed up, some with sticks in their hands, and some with the ox tendon whip and hit him completely regardless of whether people were alive or dead. Ye Ying stood aside and watched, motioning for Yilan to come over and stop them. Yilan was also a little scared when she saw this, but she still stepped forward and interrupted them: "Don't fight, stop it!" ”

The leading official was still angry, and when he saw the two girls, he said angrily: "Who are you two little girls! Do you know where this is? Dare to argue for these prisoners here, you are impatient, don't you! ”

Ye Ying took out the waist card, which was originally given to her by Huo Yan, and when others saw this Yan Yunjun's waist card, they would know that she was a member of the Huo family. She handed the waist card to the official and replied proudly: "I just happened to pass by the door of your prison of the Criminal Department, what's the matter?" Although the alleys here are remote, everyone can walk them! ”

As soon as he saw this waist card, the leader of the official immediately changed his face and greeted him with a smile: "It's Huo Niangzi!" How did you get here! The little one was about to escort these prisoners to Mobei, but this thing that didn't know whether to live or die dared to make a mistake! Lady, you're smiling. ”

"I bought that person from you, Brother Yacha, you can make a price!" As soon as Ye Ying's words came out, she shocked Yilan again.

"This can't be done, lady, we are the errand of the yamen, not human traffickers!"

"In that case, you let this person go with me, Mobei is far away and bitter cold, and you have worked hard all the way, this money will buy a few pots of good wine for your brothers to warm up." Saying that, she asked Yilan to take out four gold bars and stuff them into the hands of the officials with their sleeves, these officials are also poor people Where have they seen so much money, Ye Ying smiled when she saw his eyes open when she saw money, "Don't worry, I just want to raise this person in the house, all as if I have a dog, I can take care of the family and the nursing home on weekdays, and I will not do anything evil." ”

"What are you talking about, the little ones know, the lady and the Bodhisattva are hearty, but these people are all Qin criminals, and if there is one less person over there, the little ones won't be able to eat and go around!"

"Look at me! This team of prisoners still doesn't know how many of them can survive to Mobei! Let's just say that it will be done if you die on the way, so I will add you another twenty taels of silver, if you really think that you can't make a difference, won't you just buy a slave on the road and fill it in? ”

Seeing that she replied like this and filled in the money, the leading official simply agreed, but he could only release the people outside the city.

Under the cover of these officials, the dying man who had been beaten was finally rescued by Ye Ying. Ye Ying and Yi Lan took this person to Tianfu Lou, the largest inn restaurant in the city, and asked a doctor to treat him.

After treating his injuries and freshening up, he ignored the pain, and knelt on the ground with a plop and wept gratefully: "Pingshui meets, why did the lady save me?" ”

"I can see that you are a martial arts practitioner, whether you are a person or a person, there is a shortage of a person like you around me."

"The grace of the lady to save each other is unforgettable-"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, I naturally have a reason to save you. I have some money to buy myself some clothes, and I have already paid for the food and lodging here, so that I can live for three or five months. After that, I'm done, I'll arrange a house for you to live in more peace. I don't ask you what sins you have committed before, nor do I ask you what your surname is, where you come from, I will give you a name, just Ah Qi, and you will be my person from now on. I saved you today and I hope you understand that you have to give me whatever I want from you, even if it is your life, I ask you for it, and you have to give it. ”

"Ah Qi...... Ah Qi ......." the man muttered silently

"Seven is the righteousness of the yang, from the yang to the number of yin, your future errand is to send me all the people in front of me who should not live in the yang world. I ask you, can you do light work? ”

"Don't hide it from the lady, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, especially good at swordsmanship, and it is easy to fly the eaves and walk the wall. The lady is kind to me and recreates, if there is anything the lady commands, it is! ”

"Good! I didn't misunderstand you, but I'm going to test your ability to see if it's worth those four gold bars. This month, I will give you time to recuperate from your injuries and recover your body, and when you are the nineteenth son next month, I don't care what method you use to avoid the guards of the General's Mansion, and come to see me on the balcony on the second floor of the Cuiwei Garden Embroidery Building on the north side of the backyard of the General's Mansion. ”

Yilan was confused when she heard it, could it be that she bought an assassin to get rid of herself?

When she thought of this, she felt that her legs and feet were weak, and she almost couldn't stand on her feet.

When she returned to the house, she didn't dare to ask anything, so she had to do the work on weekdays by herself.

Mama Sun wanted to ask her more questions several times, but she could only avoid answering, for fear that if there was a mistake in what was said, her life would be lost.
