Knock, knock, knock –

At noon, someone outside the Hindu Division sounded the drum of the snow. After a while, hundreds of people were attracted by the sound of drums and came to watch, wanting to see what was going on.

"Wronged—"

Several people helped beat the drums and shouted angrily.

In front of the Si Yamen, there was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl kneeling, wearing only a sackcloth in the winter, and a thin group inside, but she was torn to tatters and could not cover her body. She was cloaked, her face was blue and purple, and she fell to the ground and wept bitterly, and her voice was terrible. In front of her, two bodies lay on straw mats, frozen hard.

"Daddy, brother, daddy—"

The girl cried out, even her throat hoarse.

The onlookers around pointed and whispered.

"Whose girl? It's miserable......"

"Isn't this the girl of the Yang family in Xixiang? Oops, that's Lao Yang and Xiao Yang? What's going on? It was fine this morning, and I went to his house for a bowl of hot soup......"

"Shhhh......h

"It can't be, can it? In broad daylight, is there still a king's law......"

……

Through the spread of good deeds, the ins and outs of the matter were quickly sorted out. It turned out that this family of three was a small family surnamed Yang, and the two lying on the ground were the father of the family, the other was the eldest son of the family, and the girl kneeling on the ground was the youngest daughter, who was only 19 years old this year. This family originally lived in a family in West Lane, ran a small noodle restaurant, and lived an honest life on weekdays, but unexpectedly, this morning inexplicably suffered a catastrophe and was harmed by a group of people.

The whole thing is so simple that there are almost no doubts, but the process is outrageous. This morning, this family is operating as usual, but suddenly a group of people want to eat noodles, originally Lao Yang thought it was a big business, but also warmly entertained, but after more than a dozen people on the opposite side finished eating, they were disgusted and unpalatable and unwilling to pay, Lao Yang naturally refused, so he and Xiao Yang together to block the reasoning, but was beaten down by the other party, and then dragged to the street and beat ...... alive. What's even more infuriating is that the leader of this group of people is not only fearless, but when he saw the girl of the Yang family, he even had a lustful heart, pulled her into the noodle restaurant in broad daylight, and openly humiliated her...... It wasn't until someone reported to the official, alarmed the guards and city defense troops of the Hindu Siya, and arrested all these lawless wicked people and brought them back to the Siya, that the incident came to an end temporarily.

However, I took pity on the girl of the Yang family, and the happy family half an hour ago suffered this catastrophe, not only separated from her father and brother, but also ruined, and she was also poisoned, both physically and mentally. Under the double blow, the girl of the Yang family was grief-stricken, so with the encouragement and help of her fellow villagers and neighbors, she came to Siya to beat the drum and voice her grievances, and she was bound to seek justice.

It's unheard of to be so mad. The onlookers talked a lot, and while sympathizing with the Yang family's girl's plight, they almost one-sidedly angrily abused the murderer.

"Killing people pays for life, it is justified, just pull it out and cut it off!"

"It's so frustrating, it's just in vain, and not killing is not enough to make the people angry!"

"Kill ......"

……

The crowd is surging, and the people outside the Si Ya are gathering more and more, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a vague tendency to get out of control. The guards guarding the door couldn't help but tremble when they faced this situation.

"The division is heavy, no noise!"

Suddenly, there was a hearty shout, which forced the voices of a group of people to be suppressed. Then, the people followed, and a man in brocade armor came out of the office, followed by dozens of people. These people were different from the guards, each of them wore blue-gray armor brocade robes, and were armed with swords and crossbows, and they were murderous.

As if they were choked by the neck, hundreds of people were suffocated, and the noise stopped abruptly. This is the Hindu City Defense Army, which is completely different from the Yawei, and can really kill people on the grounds of chaos.

The man stood on the steps and looked around, his eyes were sharp, no one dared to look at him, "The murderers have all been brought to justice, the secretary is starting the trial, and the town secretary has promised that within three days, he will definitely give everyone an explanation!" So let's go! ”

When the people heard this, they began to talk again.

"My lord, you must be the master for us, my cousin and nephew have always been honest and dutiful, never cause trouble, the beasts killed that day, woo, what kind of evil did they suffer......"

"Ask the adults to be the masters of the people and daughters, and ask the adults to ......"

The villagers who have a history with the Yang family knelt on the ground to shout grievances, and the girls of the Yang family cried and kowtowed, crying blood every word.

A trace of unbearability flashed in the man's eyes, and he stepped forward to support the girl. Seeing that the other party was covered in injuries, he was uneasy, and persuaded: "Since the murderer has been brought to justice, I believe that Lord Zhensi will definitely give you an explanation, you, you better go back first." ”

The girl of the Yang family cried and shook her head, "My father and my brother are no longer here, where else can I go back, woo-"

The man felt uncomfortable, but he seemed to have some scruples, and continued to persuade: "It's good anywhere, listen to me, nothing is more important than living, I believe your father and brother don't want to ......" In the middle of the sentence, he suddenly paused, raised his head and looked outside.

It happened that there was a commotion in the crowd and they all avoided it. Under the arch guard of a team of soldiers and horses, I saw a luxurious carriage with an eye-catching 'jade' character hanging on the beam of a car slowly coming.

"It's the Jade Princess......"

"The Jade Concubine is here......"

The audience was in an uproar.

The man frowned, glanced at the girl of the Yang family who was a little dazed, sighed imperceptibly, stood up and stepped forward to greet him. But as soon as he tried to salute, he was interrupted again.

The carriage and horse stopped in front of the gate of the Si Ya, and the cavalry who was responsible for opening the road in front didn't even get off the horse, condescendingly, "Xu Qianwei, Concubine Yu asked you, what happened here?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, I am being ordered to cooperate with the secretary to handle the case."

"Handle the case?"

A cold voice of displeasure came from the carriage, "Leaving a little girl at the door to suffer from the cold, this is how your city guards handle the case?" ”

Liu Qianwei lowered his head, "Dereliction of duty, this will take her away." ”

"Hmph, no need."

With a cold snort, the carriage opened. The cavalry dismounted, the soldiers saluted, and in the eyes of everyone, the maid helped a woman in a plain dress and gown to walk down.

There was a round of exclamations around.

The woman was thirty years old, with fair skin, red eyebrows, and a red seal on her forehead. Although she was dressed in plain color and her face was cold, she couldn't hide her plump body and charming background, which was amazing.

"Jade Concubine Niangniang! Jade Concubine Niangniang! ”

Someone shouted, and then more people shouted along, and the scene was enthusiastic.

The woman turned around, her cold expression like ice and snow melting, and waved at everyone in response. She smiled gently, and she seemed to have no frame at all, which made people feel good at first sight.

If you live in Xingdu for a long time, almost no one will not know about the Jade Concubine. Because she is the most favored concubine of today's saint, and she is also the biological mother of today's second hall, Concubine Feng Yuxiang. At the same time, she is also the only daughter of Feng Qi, the marshal of the Northern Army, the pearl of the Feng family, and she also has two elder brothers, the eldest brother is Feng Shunwen, the second brother Feng Shunwu, who is the captain of the Xingdu Mansion, and the commander of the Xingdu City Defense Army, and the royal seal of the Zhongzhou Military Department......

But this has nothing to do with her fame. The people of Hindu know her well, but because of her good name. It is said that since the age of 12, Concubine Yu has been following her mother to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and often help the poor in various parts of Xingdu. Especially in the cold winter season, she will come out almost every month to give food and clothing to help the poor people who are cold and hungry to survive the difficulties.

Today, Concubine Yu is nearly 40 years old, in other words, she has been doing good deeds for nearly 30 years. Therefore, almost none of the people in Hindu do not know her.

"How can it be!"

Concubine Yu briefly understood the whole story from Liu Qianjun's mouth, and immediately became so angry that her eyebrows rose upside down, and she couldn't help but scream angrily. Then, she took off her shawl again, personally bent down to put it on for the Yang family girl, and helped her up, "Girl, you get up." Don't be afraid, come in with me, I must confront Lord Zhensi face to face and seek justice for you! ”

The girl of the Yang family seemed to have finally seen hope, and she was grateful, "Woo, thank you Niangniang for your great kindness, Xie Niangniang ......"

"Thank you for your great kindness......"

Relatives and friends of the Yang family also knelt down together and shouted thanks.

Concubine Yu was clean, but she didn't dislike the girl's dirtiness at all, she hugged her and raised her empty hand, "Folks, please get up quickly, don't be cold." Liu Qianjun, you go in with this girl with me, I must personally seek justice for her today! In addition, you should send someone to send these folks back, so that they can take care of them, and don't let them be hurt again! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Qianjun lowered his head and acted on orders.

Concubine Yu took the girl of the Yang family, "Come, girl, let's go." ”

"Thank you for your great kindness......"

The girl of the Yang family was a little hesitant and scared at first, but when she saw Concubine Yu's gentle gaze, she felt like she had found a support, and she was relieved to pluck up the courage to follow her into the office.

When the onlookers saw this, they all dispersed after a while. Along with it, there was also the news that Concubine Yu avenged the people, which added a strong color to Concubine Yu's good deeds.

However, at this time, the situation was different.

"Mother?"

The girl of the Yang family stared wide-eyed and froze in place.

The lobby of the General Division, as the place where the department tried the case, was supposed to be as bright and upright as the plaque that hung 'above board', but at this time it seemed a little gloomy.

As soon as Concubine Yu entered the lobby, she shook off the girl coldly. Inside, a maid prepared warm water soaked in saffron, and Concubine Yu looked disgusted, and dipped her hands in the water and scrubbed vigorously.

Bang.

The door is closed.

The girl of the Yang family shook and turned around, but saw that Liu Qianjun didn't know when he appeared at the door and closed the door. The latter hung his head and walked past her without saying a word.

"Mother, mother......"

"This damn sour stink, disgusting!" Concubine Yu scolded a few words, and then shook her hand and knocked over the golden basin filled with water to the ground, and scattered it on the ground with a 'poof'.

"Niangniang, Jade Concubine Niangniang......"

The girl of the Yang family still didn't want to believe it, and tried to squeeze out a flattering smile and wanted to move forward.

Liu Qianjun pulled out his long knife and stopped her.

Concubine Yu took the silk scarf handed over by the maid, didn't look back, and walked towards the back hall. When she entered the hall, she casually threw away the silk scarf in her hand.

The girl of the Yang family only felt a stream of despair pouring down her head, and screamed loudly, "Mother, mother-"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from the mouth of the hall.

The girl of the Yang family was shocked, as if she heard the echo of a nightmare, and the whole person froze.

Liu Qianjun held the knife, lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but slowly retreated and exited the lobby. On the other hand, a young man in a silver fur fur came out of the hall.

When the girl of the Yang family saw him, her pupils trembled, and she couldn't help but tremble.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The young man smiled, but there was a chilling evil on his face, "Hey, little girl, are you surprised?" Surprised? Hehe, you read that right, it's my brother again, hehe......"

The girl's feet were weak, she fell to the ground, and completely collapsed, "Woo woo ah, you, don't come here, you, mother, ah, mother, jade, jade concubine Niangniang, help, help, help-"

"Hey, hey, hahaha-"

"Ahh

The terrible screams resounded throughout the lobby. Under the plaque of 'Above Board', the filthy scene that happened in the noodle shop was staged again, and it became more and more vicious.

Click.

Liu Qianjun's hand holding the knife was highlighted.

But just a wall, the movement in the lobby, the crazy sadistic laughter, the girl's screams and begging for mercy...... The back hall was clearly audible. However, those present turned a deaf ear.

On the first seat, there was a man in his forties, with a white face and beard, and his facial features were upright. He picked up the teacup, scraped off the foam, and asked neatly: "Liu Cong, you are the Qianjun who was promoted the year before last, right?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Well, I remember that five years ago, you were a hundred troops, and in just three years, you were promoted to a thousand troops, which can be described as a promising future." Feng Shunwen nodded.

"That is, Liu Qianjun is an old subordinate valued by the second brother."

Concubine Yu sat on the deputy seat and smiled at Liu Cong: "My second brother often mentions you in front of me, saying that you are capable and capable, and you are a rare fierce general, even if you mention 10,000 households, it is not an exaggeration." ”

Liu Cong lowered his head and politely replied.

Concubine Yu smiled without saying a word, twisted a raspberry and put it in her mouth, but a trace of unhappiness flashed in her eyes.

Feng Shunwen glanced at him and changed the subject, "Liu Qianjun, I heard that you were happy with your son a while ago, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Oh?"

Concubine Yu's eyes were raised, as if she was quite interested.

Liu Cong's complexion changed, but it was fleeting, and he replied calmly and truthfully: "Thank you for your concern, Neiko did give birth to a son at the beginning of the month, and is now recuperating at home." ”

Concubine Yu smiled, "Yo, there is such a happy event? Why didn't you say it earlier? If my eldest brother hadn't asked, I wouldn't have known. ”

"Small things in the family, don't dare to disturb the mother and adults."

"Heh, what's the matter? You are my second brother's right-hand man, so naturally we can be regarded as a family. Concubine Yu motioned to the maid, "Go, wrap the Ruyi I brought today, take another thousand taels of silver bills, and send someone to send them to the mansion of Lord Qianjun." ”

"Yes."

"This can't be helped!"

Liu Cong was anxious, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, "Niangniang, the so-called merit is not punished, how can he receive this reward?" Please forgive me for my humble courage and beg my mother to take back her life......"

"Oh?"

Concubine Yu frowned.

Seeing this, Feng Shunwen smiled, and said: "Feng Ya, there are rules in the army, you are not allowed to accept money in private, you give back a thousand taels, are you afraid that others will not know that he has made a windfall?" ”

Concubine Yu nodded, as if she was convinced, so she changed her words: "That's right, it's me who didn't think it through." In this way, the silver money will not be sent, only the wishful thinking. ”

"Mother's ......"

"All the best, all the best." Concubine Yu interrupted Liu Cong, smiling rather than smiling, "Although it is not a valuable thing, it is also good to ask for peace at home and eliminate disasters and prevent disasters." ”

Liu Cong's complexion changed, he paused slightly, and bowed his head, "Then, thank you for your reward." ”

Concubine Yu laughed, "That's right, hey, get up, your own family, what's polite." ”

Liu Cong thanked him again, and then stood up.

At the same time, there was no sound next door.

Everyone waited for a while, and then the young man walked in disheveled, with his trousers on his face.

Concubine Yu was startled and jumped up from her seat, "Hey, Chao'er, look at you, hurry up and get dressed, don't catch a cold." So saying, he went forward and dressed the young man himself.

Feng Shunwen drank tea and pretended not to see.

The young man opened his hand and let Concubine Yu help him tidy it up, and shouted a little impatiently, "Alas, it's not fun, mother, I don't want to go back, I still have to go out to play for a while......"

"What's playing, when is this all about? If you don't go back before dinner, you see that your father doesn't scold you. ”

"Isn't there another afternoon? I'm not going back anyway, I'm still going to play. ”

"No, never."

Concubine Yu shook her head categorically, "If you want to play, go back to the palace and wait for a bunch of people, play as you like." ”

The young man was not happy, "What is there to do with those women in the palace, they all know who I am, and what fun is there to have?" It's not interesting at all, it's better to go to the flower building. ”

"You! Alas, Chao'er, you can't say this outside, especially in front of your father, you know? ”

"Okay, okay, okay, but I'm not going back anyway, I'm still going to play."

"Chao'er, it's not that my mother won't let me, but today is different, your eldest brother came back this morning."

"I ...... him"

Suddenly, the young man's eyes widened, "What? Who's back? ”

The jade concubine glanced at him, "Your eldest brother!" ”

"Big, prosperous, rejuvenating?" The young man's expression was immediately stuck, and he even stuttered a little.

"Who else but him?"

"No, it's not, he, how did he come back? He's not, what is he coming back for? Mother, why did he come back? He ...... "The young man was a little at a loss.

"Naturally, your father summoned him back, as for what to do when he came back......

Concubine Yu helped him tidy up, and then stroked his collar, then touched his face with satisfaction, and said dotingly: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to know that there is a mother, your grandfather, and your uncle and second uncle, you don't have to be afraid of him." ”

The young man gritted his teeth and stiffened his neck and 'hummed': "I, who said I was afraid of him? I'm afraid of what he does! Hmph, I've been trying to settle old scores with him for a long time! This time I finally have a chance! ”

"Oh, it's not fun to say this, you are brothers."

"Hmph, who is ...... with his own brother"

"Alright!"

Feng Shunwen saw that the young man was talking more and more unlikely, so he stopped, "Let's talk about it here, it's not too early, Xingchao, you go down and freshen up first, I still have something to say to your mother." ”

The young man was still reluctant, "Mother-"

"Chao'er, listen to your uncle, go."

"I'm ......, hey, I'm annoyed!" The young man originally wanted to struggle again, but Feng Shunwen glared impatiently, and he immediately became honest and threw away angrily.

Feng Shunwen stood up, "Liu Qianjun, I'll trouble you to clean up in the front hall." ”

"Yes."

Liu Cong nodded and took the order.

"Then trouble Liu Qianjun."

Concubine Yu smiled politely, and then left with Feng Shunwen.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Cong was left alone in the inner hall. The tea is not cold, and it is still steaming. Liu Cong stood for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the inner hall and came to the lobby.

The lobby was in a mess, and the girl of the Yang family was lying on the big case of the trial. Her chest heaved slightly, and she breathed faintly, but her eyes were gray and had lost all brilliance.

Liu pulled out his long knife expressionlessly.

In the back compartment, all the subordinates retreated.

"Big brother, what did the immortal master say?"

"Haven't heard back yet."

In the room, the incense is charming. Feng Shunwen took off his coat and poured a cup of hot water.

Concubine Yu frowned, "Why is this so, he accepted our ......"

"Fengya!"

Feng Shunwen interrupted her and said in a condensed voice: "The immortal master has his own plans, since we believe in him, he will not let us down." As he spoke, he glanced at Concubine Yu.

Although Concubine Yu was resentful, she had no choice but to stop.

Feng Shunwen rubbed his forehead, "However, since he's back, we'll have to start over." ”

"What did the second brother say?"

"What can he say? The whole wooden head, all day long, only knows how to fight and kill. ”

"Where's my father?"

"I haven't replied yet, but it should be the past two days." Feng Shunwen then comforted: "You can ignore this matter first, we will deal with it, you just have to watch the woman in the palace." ”

"Hmmm......"

Concubine Yu nodded, then looked at Feng Shunwen's absent-minded appearance, her cheeks turned red inexplicably, and she turned around and walked into the inner room. Through the thin gauze curtain, looming, she began to untie her clothes.

Feng Shunwen took a sip of water, glancing at the corners of his eyes from time to time.

The voice of the jade concubine came from inside, and she was shy, "Shunwen, you, come in." ”

"Ahem, yes."
