Chapter 818: Evil will be punished

After coming out of Gao Ying, Yan Mu was in a low mood and walked forward without saying a word. Liu Yunxiang walked beside him, knowing what he was thinking, and did not disturb him at this moment.

When we walked on the street, it was already evening. I didn't expect that there were still many people. They formed a wall of people one by one, and looked in one direction, as if waiting for something.

They blocked the road, and Liu Yunxiang and the others had to stop.

"What have you prepared?"

There were two women talking next to them, each carrying a basket with an excited expression on their faces.

"What have you prepared?"

The two women asked each other, and they smiled and each took away the cloth covered by the basket. One basket contained rotten cabbage leaves and the other was cow dung. Seeing each other's, they smiled even more happily.

Are they?

Just when Liu Yunxiang was puzzled, a woman came over with a bucket of slurry. The fermented slurry smelled so bad that it made people feel disgusting. Liu Yunxiang took out a handkerchief to cover her lips and nose, and took two steps to the side.

"Oh, how many days have you been sucking in this swamp?"

"I just scooped out of the stinky ditch in front of our street." The woman replied.

When they heard this, the two women took a step back.

"There are all shit and urine in it."

"You can do it!"

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "I forced my family to pay an extra 30% tax. My husband refused to give it to me, and I was beaten by the official escort he brought. Then they ran into my house like robbers and snatched the remaining rations. That really would not leave us a way to live. There was no way, so I could only sell my second daughter and exchange for some food. In order to leave more for the children, my mother-in-law starved herself to death."

When it came to the time, the woman hated and sad, "It was just a bucket of water that would be considered to be a waste of him."

Hearing this, the other two women sighed repeatedly.

Liu Yunxiang probably guessed that, after a while, two carriages came, one in front with white silk hangings and the other behind with a coffin. However, the coffin was filled with rotten leaves and rotten eggs, and even the official sent-off was not spared.

Liu Yunxiang asked Yan Mu next to him in a low voice, "Is this going to transport Li Huai's body back to his hometown?"

Yan Mu shook his head, "His hometown is from the southern prefecture. It will take at least one month to pass through Yanzhou. Now that summer is coming, the hotter it gets to go south, and the body will not be left for a few days."

"Why not buried in Yanzhou first?"

I was buried first in Yanzhou. After a few years, I dug out the bones and took them back to my hometown for burial. This is usually the case.

Yan Mu sneered, "The Li family also thinks, but the people of Yanzhou hate him too much. If they were buried here, they would probably be digging a grave to destroy the coffin and dragging the body out and dismantling it from eight pieces."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and couldn't help but shivered.

"What about that?"

"Take it somewhere else and buried the secret. But see if the Li Huai family is in love. If you have the intention, you will dig him out and take him back to your hometown in a few years. If you have the intention, you will be a lonely ghost there."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "Evil will be punished!"

How many families have been destroyed by him? Now this end is his retribution!

When the carriage pulling the coffin came over, the people became angry, throwing rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, and cow dung, and they all threw them on the coffin anyway.

The officials on both sides learned to be smart, so they hurriedly avoided it, and even the driver who was driving the carriage threw it off.

"Li Huai! The King of Hell has accepted you, wait to go to the eighteen levels of hell!"

"You can calculate how many lives you owe? You can't even redeem your sins even if you go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pan!"

"Do you want to walk out of Yanzhou safely? No way! Do you still have to clear what you owe to us Yanzhou?"

Someone was too angry and took a kitchen knife to chop the coffin. The coffin was a good nanmu coffin. After chopping it a few times, it really couldn't cut it. The man gritted his teeth and chopped the wheels of the carriage.

While the time was time, the woman carrying the sucking water went up and poured a large bucket of disgusting dirty things on it.

The smell was too smelly, and the people standing on both sides were disgusting.

In the carriage in front, Mrs. Li should be sitting. She was so scared that she threw the coffin behind and ran away.

When Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu left, the people were still venting their anger.

Seeing that Yan Mu's face was not very good, Liu Yunxiang asked him if he was being smoked by the stench.

Yan Mu shook his head: "Li Huai harmed so many people and aroused such public anger. But in the final analysis, the one who indulged him was the court, the foolish monarch sitting in the highest position."

"Yes, and Li Huai is just a microcosm. I don't know how many Li Huai there are in Darong. There are constant civil strife in various places, which is the consequence of allowing officials like Li Huai to harm the people. However, there are Yang He in Yanzhou, but Darong does not have more Yang He."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and understood what they were thinking in their hearts at just one glance.

Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang's hand and took her forward together.

Facing the setting sun, the sky is getting darker and darker, but without passing through the night, how can you wait for dawn?

In just five days, Gao Ying finished all ten books of the account books, and the million taels were hidden on these accounts, but according to what Yan Mu said, it was not too hiding.

"We will set off for Beijing tomorrow, and Yang He's case cannot be delayed anymore." Yan Mu said in the evening.

Liu Yunxiang mentioned to him before, and that was because he did not agree. She could only mention again: "Although our brocade workshop is on the right track, the brocade weaving industry in Jiangnan is still in a slump. I promised the emperor's commercial tax, but I was afraid it would be empty talk. I have to go to Yangzhou and personally visit the bosses of those brocade workshops and cloth merchants, and ask them to settle down in Yangzhou again."

"But you're in a state of inconvenience now."

"It's only more than three months, and it's not time to be clumsy, and a few months later, it's really not possible, so I have to take advantage of this time to go there."

"Although the rebellion in Nanzhou is pacified, it is still dangerous."

"You forgot that our Zhenbei Army is in Nanzhou."

Yan Mu looked at Liu Yunxiang, knowing that she values ​​her career and has her own considerations. If he had been tough in the past, he would have stopped her, but now he admits her ability, even admires and admires her. He doesn't think he is very powerful, but Liu Yunxiang is amazing in his heart.

When he was tired and helpless, he even began to rely on her.

"Let Zijin and Feng Zheng go with you."

"good."

"I will install more secret guards around you."

"Um."

"Once you cross the Yangtze River, contact Zhenbei Army immediately and let them protect you."

"I know."

Liu Yunxiang held Yan Mu's hand, "I will return to Beijing as soon as possible for two months at most."

The next morning, Liu Yunxiang sent Yan Mu away from Yanzhou first, but she had to stay for two more days.

"Girl, we still have to find Boss Gao?" Zijin asked with a sigh.
