The businessman surnamed Li had endured the whole journey. He thought that it would be good even if only half of the corpse could return to his hometown. It was a windy and rainy journey and he did not dare to slack off.
Now seeing Master Yan's body back to his hometown with his own eyes, it is a relief. He has no children in his life, and his old wife has already passed away, so he has nothing to worry about. Since he dares to transport Master Yan's body all the way back
, he had already put life and death aside. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold back and cursed this cannibalistic world.
The old housekeeper had already held a breath in his throat and fainted after repeatedly confirming whether this was the adult he had grown up serving. Aunt Li had also cried and vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood. Try it, Aunt Li had a hard life.
Married to a husband who beats and scolds her all day long, it is the adult who takes the trouble to save her from fire and water again and again. In Aunt Li's heart, the adult may be the savior descending to earth. That's why she is so sad...
What about himself?
Why can't he feel his own emotions? He should be as heartbroken as the old housekeeper Aunt Li. Why is there no tears now?
Because they were too sad, the painful voices of the Yan family members spread out. The neighbors who passed by endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back and timidly knocked on the door.
"Brother Yan, what happened? Why did I hear someone crying?"
"Yeah, what's going on? Could it be that there was a quarrel at home? Oh, this can't be done. We are all a family. When Xiao Yanlang comes back and sees you quarreling, it will be difficult."
"That's right, someone can open the door so that we can give him some advice."
Hearing more and more people outside, the businessman surnamed Li was also a little anxious. But at this time, the old housekeeper fainted, and the oldest Aunt Li looked too painful to speak, so she could only turn her eyes
Facing him who looked the calmest.
"This should be Cui Guard, right? Cui Guard, what should we do now? Because this year is His Majesty's fiftieth birthday, His Majesty's order is to pardon all the others except the Yan clan members. I vaguely remember that Mr. Yan should have no clan members.
Alright?"
Therefore, the order to exterminate the family has not yet been issued, because the place of birth shows that Mr. Yan has no parents or brothers, and he is a loner.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was because he wanted to find out in advance. Since Mr. Yan was not married, did he have any concubines? If he had any heirs, he could send them out in advance so that he could raise them and raise them.
Keep some of your adult blood.
"Do you have any blood relatives, sir? Take this person away now, so that you can have a way to survive!"
"Blood relatives?"
"Yes! Oh, are you sure? Hurry up and wait for the people in the Imperial City to react. They will definitely kill you!"
"there is none left……"
"What?"
"Your Majesty, you keep yourselves private. You have no concubines or children. You have been alone all your life."
"……well……"
The businessman surnamed Li let out a very long sigh, and his last hope was shattered. He looked as if he had aged ten years.
"Who said you don't have any relatives?! I am your relatives! If those bitches, those bitches, want to kill, just kill me too! Anyway, if you pass away, I don't want to live anymore! My Lord—
—”
At this time, Cui Qinghe finally came to his senses and went back to the house, picked up his sword and walked out. However, the maids and servants of the Yan Mansion realized something was wrong and immediately stopped him.
"Guard Cui, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to bring your Lord's head back. It would be so desolate for you to be left outside like this. Do I want to sit back and ignore it?"
"Oh, Guard Cui, the Japanese emperor has so many troops to protect him. There are 100,000 people in the Imperial Guard alone. What are you going to bring back? I promised you thousands of gold before, but no one dared to take the risk of losing your Lordship's head.
He stole it back. Because everyone in the imperial capital knows that the man on the dragon throne is determined to let you die without a burial place!"
Cui Qinghe is very skilled in martial arts, how could these people stop him?
The businessman surnamed Li had no choice but to ask the old housekeeper who woke up to persuade him.
However, the old housekeeper straightened up the appearance of the child who had served him for most of his life, and there was a sad arc at the corner of his mouth.
"If he wants to go, let him go. It's not good to hold this tone in your heart for a long time. Besides, I also want to go with him."
"What's wrong with you, old man?"
"The child lying here is the child I raised with my own hands. He is said to be my little master, but in fact, he is the same as my child. My child was killed by those people for no reason in the imperial city, even with the body.
Even if I let you stay there, I will never feel at ease in my life."
"But, what are you taking? Again, there are one hundred thousand forbidden troops in the imperial capital, and the people in the imperial capital also know how much you respect Xiao Yanlang. They must be very guarded against you now, how can they possibly get in?
"
"You don't have to worry about this, brother."
The old housekeeper patted the merchant surnamed Li on the shoulder, his gratitude beyond words.
"I wonder what your surname is? For everything you have done for us, I am grateful and will never forget it."
"well."
The businessman surnamed Li saw them all with firm expressions, knowing that he could not be persuaded, so he had no choice but to tell everything he knew.
"My surname is Li and my given name is Ningyuan. These are not important. What is important is that if you really go, your lives will be in danger. Have you thought about these in advance?"
"I can't think any more carefully."
The old housekeeper and even Aunt Li stood up. There was a burning light in their eyes. That was anger, that was resentment, that was hatred!
"My little Yanlang has been observing etiquette and respecting the king since he was young. Ever since he became an official, everything he has thought and done has been for the sake of the people. But what kind of results did he get? I want to ask,
I'm going to ask that almighty emperor, what on earth did my child do that made him issue such a cruel order?!"
"There are no bones left. Even if someone really needs to confiscate his home and exterminate his family, he will leave a whole body. What's more, my child left with full of hope and was killed with all his sins. How can we be convinced by this?"
The old housekeeper tidied Xiao Yanlang's clothes with trembling hands, then had someone carry out the coffin prepared for him from the backyard, and put the half body in. After bidding him an affectionate farewell, he and the others prepared to leave.
.
Cui Qinghe had already taken his sword and was leading the way, but when everyone looked at the door, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The door of Yan Mansion was opened at some point, and the people of Jiangdong were crowded outside with shocked expressions.
