This is the most unacceptable thing - no matter what kind of trouble you get into, you can get some money from your family and have some connections, but it can be dealt with. But matters where human life is at stake are not so easy. Of course,
Things that cannot be solved without money, and the inability to settle a human life are ultimately due to the fact that the family does not have enough money. Moreover, the person his brother killed was only half an official.
Speaking of which, it is true that he was too complacent. Over the years, the accounts here have always been unclear, and it is suspected that local officials have taken corruption and bribery. Whether this is true or not, of course it is. Especially Ye Xuici's family,
If you don't use more money to honor those officials, how can you do things that are often done for personal gain and bending the law? Merely stealing secrets is already a serious crime, and it is obviously a crime to take advantage of the court.
It is asking for death. Therefore, blindfolding them with money and blocking their mouths with money have become necessary means. Anyway, it is not her family who did this. Almost all big merchants are involved, and this has been made public.
After all, if Ye Xuici could commit petty theft by himself, no matter how much his brother cooperated, he would not be able to control so many pairs of eyes. Therefore, bribery became a necessary means.
Naturally, the local officials were very anxious. They called almost all the merchants to discuss how to deal with the governor sent by the imperial court. The one sent by the Ye family was Ye Xuici's eloquent brother. With him
His ability has been appreciated by his master from a very humble position, and now he is no longer
This was something they never dared to think about. At first, someone suggested bribing the governor, but the idea was immediately dismissed. The governor was a well-known upright official. His family was poor since he was a child, and he hated those people who looked at him.
Evil officials who only have money but never make decisions for the people. Doing so will only lead to their own destruction.
This account is really unfair. If there is no other way, we have to introduce one or two victims. This will cause a quarrel, but there will be no end. No one wants to be the victim of other people's self-protection, Ye Xue
Especially the elder brother of Ci. One to two
Of course, the quarrel didn't come to any result, and everyone almost got into a fight. In the end, Master Qianliang spoke and asked everyone to go back and clean up themselves. He would decide who would bear the risk for everyone in the end. Set up the arrangements first.
The elderly at home and
My child, after being thrown into jail, everyone will find a way to raise funds for rescue. This sounds nice, but no one is stupid. If you are really thrown into jail, let alone rescuing people, the remaining assets must not be used by these locusts.
Carve it up? Representatives of the merchants again
There was a quarrel, one or two crying to the Qianliang Master. He asked people to kick these people out and go home to deal with their own accounts. Then everyone left in despair. Everyone was secretly cursing this foodie.
It’s such a scolding thing, but there’s nothing you can do about it.
"Master said, we have to provide someone to bear the bill."
After returning home, his elder brother truthfully conveyed what he saw today to his elders and younger sister. Ye Xuici originally practiced magic with the onmyoji in the city, but had not been involved in family affairs for a long time, and he did not go home often. It was his elder brother who suddenly called him back today.
After hearing these things, she immediately frowned.
"This matter is not good for us. Think about it, if our bribery is exposed, those guys will beat them up and find out a series of things about our family. By then, it will not be as simple as arresting one person and going to jail.
"
"Who says it's not the case!" The mother, who had no opinion, agreed, "You guys are very smart, you must find a way to avoid this jail for our family."
The timid father said: "I'm afraid I'm going to lose my head! Oh, oh - what can I do!"
Seeing that the two old men could no longer hope for anything, the brother and sister went to the side to discuss. Ye Xuici said bluntly that there was basically no solution to this matter. The head of the Ye family started out in business, and he was very committed to honesty and integrity. If he wanted to let
If the master's family knows these nonsense, they will send someone to investigate as soon as possible. If it is slander, the entire family will support them; if it is true, the Ye family will make an immediate decision to remove them from the Ye family to correct the family tradition.
"Isn't that dangerous?!" My brother was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead, "Both of them are very smart, they must know our fate! Aren't they working together to push us into the pit?!
My good sister, you have to think of a way. You have been able to save the day every time, and you will definitely do it this time too!"
Ye Xuici pinched the bridge of her nose a little tiredly. Looking out the window at the sinking sun, she felt a headache, as if her consciousness was sinking with the sun, becoming scattered and dark. She felt a little dizzy, but it was not because of her unstable fate.
.She knows very well that with her current ability, she can create her own world even if she goes out alone. What cannot be separated from her is this burden.
Her brother has many girls he likes, and even if nothing happened today, he would have caused trouble one day. Then the one who wipes the butt might be her sister. A long time ago, she felt this
This thing gave her a huge headache. These people, one or two, knew how to be clever and enjoy their own happiness, but they never considered what she wanted.
Although what she wants cannot be satisfied by speaking out. I am afraid that if she does speak out, her parents will be frightened and regard her as a sick monster. And the person who brought them the life they have now is not
Is she the monster?
This burdensome family.
"It's not impossible." Ye Xuici suddenly said, "Go find Master tonight. There must be many people looking for him, and he will definitely take this opportunity to make a fortune. If you go late, you will be in trouble."
"How much money do we need to prepare?! This old bastard has a huge appetite. Others must have lost money to eliminate disasters, but we are not a wealthy family. Even if we lose everything..."
"Not only do you have to bring money... you have to bring weapons."
"arms?"
"Give Tianzao first, and then slap him. The slap will be louder." Ye Xuici said quietly, "I will give you a letter. It says that he has accepted bribes and bullied men and women over the years.
Records, as well as his affair with the wives and concubines of those merchants... Go and threaten him. He must dump these bad debts on others, otherwise his head will fall on the ground, who knows who."
The elder brother thanked her repeatedly, flattering and grateful to his sister who was not even in her twenties. This scene happened more than once or twice, and she was already used to it. She had prepared this letter a long time ago, and it was written by more than just the master.
After handing it over to his brother, he didn't dare to waste a moment. He hurried away. But Ye Xuici took out all the paper products in the room, whether they were written on them or not.
, those that still had no writing, were poured into the brazier and burned. Then, she picked up her small purse, picked through the pile of jewelry, and stuffed a few items in. She saw the items that she had forgotten for many years.
That fragment - a copper fragment. After thinking about it again and again, she threw the little thing into her bag. After that, she told her servants at home that she would go out to relax, and left the house.
From then on, she never came back.
She went to a far away place, so far away that she couldn't even imagine it. Now, she was finally like a bird whose string was cut, and could fly anywhere freely. She also heard about the subsequent events at home——
As she expected, Master Qianliang jumped over the wall and threatened her brother with his life. Her
The elder brother was not an economical person either. Under the stimulation of a few words, he picked up a knife and stabbed the master to death. This was something Ye Xuici had never thought of, but the development of the matter did not deviate from her imagination. The family must be investigated.
, the blind and helpless parents are obedient and do not know anything about it. They are the ones who protect the calf, so naturally they
He was investigated and punished for hiding a murderer. Originally, her brother wanted to dig out those account books from his room and planned to fight the government and the group of merchants to death, but everything was burned by his sister. He looked at the brazier, and the embers inside were still there.
It was hot. He frantically asked people where his sister was, but naturally found nothing. What was she?
She never took anything away and did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Even if she chased her immediately, she would have left here long ago by carriage and horse. Her brother was stimulated and became foolish and silly. During the interrogation, she would only say crazy things.
, did something crazy. The Ye family quickly sent people to investigate the matter. But no matter what, the family was dead.
She was led to a dead end by her own hands.
And she felt nothing about all this. No sorrow, no sadness, no anger, no guilt. She believed that any guilt at all was an act of unkindness to herself. It was the three of them who shaped themselves into what they are today.
As for the consequences, they should bear them themselves. Ye Xuici had no worries and no fear.
She had only been away from home for less than a year, and she almost forgot about the past. Traveling around, visiting experts from various places and getting advice... all this was her ideal life. There was only one thing that was certain.
, that is, she lost her home forever. But to her, it was once just a luxurious house. She was not in a hurry to start a new family. After all, there was still an unforgettable shadow in her heart.
.She has seen all kinds of people, and no one is qualified to compare with them.
However, she can indeed feel what the saying "a person without a home is like a duckweed without roots" means. She will still feel a little tired of wandering like this. She carries too many secrets and belongs to
Your own, not your own. They are light and airy during the day
They were floating, as if they wanted to pull her up, soar in the sky together, forgetting all the worries. But at night, they would also become heavy, tightly binding her, making people toss and turn. Such a sharp contrast, she did not
Instead of feeling sad, I felt indescribable excitement.
But this is not enough, far from enough.
She is still Ye Xuici, not the evil messenger of thieves.
Until that day, when she was drinking tea in the store, she was rubbing the fragment with her hand. To this day, it is still sharp. But the other jewelry had been sold by her long ago. At this moment, a strange thing happened
The man walked into the store. The moment he came in, the whole world fell silent, as if time stopped for the two of them.
She knew what the problem was and looked at the visitor quietly.
He looked... somewhat familiar to her, but she couldn't recall it anyway. Maybe it was just an illusion. The man sat opposite her, looking at her openly, not treating himself as an outsider.
"You are becoming more and more worthy of this mirror. I can't believe it."
"What mirror?" she wondered, "What are you talking about?"
"A mirror that is knowledgeable about the past, discusses the present, and understands the world and the earth."
She saw something moving and glimmering in the joking man's eyes.
