Because they were women, and with Chu Yunli around, it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to come forward, so they relied on Chu Yunli and Mrs. Chen, who had already been untied, to untie everyone.
But Mrs. Chen was frightened, her hands and feet were trembling, and she couldn't untie it for a long time.
Chu Yunli was okay, and she quickly solved one after another. Although the ladies were frightened, they did not forget to thank her. Some even apologized, "Mrs. Chu, I'm sorry, I scared you just now and you talked nonsense."
They are all willing to save us, and there is no way they can collude with the tribe."
This statement was recognized by the other ladies around, and they thanked her one after another. After the general's wife was untied, her face turned pale, "What did you mean just now, did you mean that you found these people?"
Hearing this, many people looked over.
If it is really her, it means that Chu Feng knows the officers and soldiers. The person over there, if I remember correctly, is Lin You, the general guarding the town next door.
"People from the Qing Department came to me and asked me to invite the general's wife to come and offer incense and inform them. They then held the general's wife hostage and asked the general's mansion to release the Li family." Chu Yunli said calmly, "I didn't know him at that time.
General's wife. Who would have known that later the general's wife offered to pray for blessings and offer incense, and what's more unexpected is that she also brought you with her... It was my husband who went to inform General Zhu. As for General Lin, it was my neighbor Mr. Zhou who found out.
Later, I specially asked for help, just in case!"
The general's wife's lips trembled, as if she was even more frightened after being untied. After the other ladies looked at each other, they all had their own concerns and invariably moved farther away from the general's wife. No one wanted to get close to her.
Others don't know, but they know it in their own hearts. The reason why they are here today is because of the warm invitation of the general and his wife.
Now it seems that we are not inviting them to offer incense, we are inviting them to be hostages!
In both public and private matters, such people should not be approached. If he is accused of colluding with the tribe, the whole family will be implicated.
Everyone in the Qingbu over there was tied up and brought to the side for interrogation one by one. From time to time, screams could be heard, and the smell of blood drifted along the wind. However, the ladies did not feel sorry for them.
If they were not caught, they would be the ones who are pitiful now. You must know that those people’s lustful eyes are not fake. It will take a long time to bring the Li family into the city. Who knows if they can’t help it... Thinking of this,
Everyone became more and more grateful to have met Chu Yunli and became closer to her.
If she hadn't found General Lin, everyone's fate would have been unknown.
The general's wife had something on her mind, but she didn't care. She and everyone in the general's residence were squatting aside anxiously.
Two hours later, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. It was General Zhu who arrived with his officers and soldiers and the Li family.
The ladies did not leave, but were protected by others. They found a place to sit aside. Seeing General Zhu arrive, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After they were safe, they wanted to go home. It was too cold outside, but it was warm and safe at home.
General Zhu brought the Li family close to him, expecting to see the wives frightened and trembling, begging him to release them and ransom them as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that the wives of each family were warming themselves leisurely by the fire, and everyone in the Qingbu tribe was dripping with blood, with few good pieces of meat on their bodies. Seeing the situation in front of him, he identified the armor on the officers and soldiers. General Zhu was stunned, "Where is General Lin? What are you doing?
Will it appear here?"
General Lin stepped forward slowly, "Zhu Guang, you colluded with the Qingbu. I have obtained the confession, do you admit it or not?"
General Zhu's expression changed greatly, he looked at the bloody Qing tribe people over there, and said in a deep voice, "They slandered me, General Lin should find out and don't accuse me wrongly. Everyone in the world knows that I guard Man City for ten years."
There has never been a military disaster in the past few years!”
Hearing this, General Lin sneered and threw a wooden sign in front of Zhu Guang's horse, "Anyone holding this sign can enter and exit the city at will without careful questioning. You let the tribesmen enter and leave the city at will. Every time they arrive,
Let them plunder the people in the winter, and then you send troops to suppress them and capture some tribes that are not close to you. This not only serves you well, but also eliminates dissidents. Now all the tribes are colluding with you, and you let them take advantage of you.
In exchange for the number of people entering the city, is this how you protect the barbaric city?"
The ladies behind the officers and soldiers were extremely surprised and looked at the general's wife.
Zhu Guang wanted to say something more, but General Lin stopped arguing with him and waved his hand, "Take it!"
The officers and soldiers came forward, Zhu Guang drew his sword and blocked it, "I don't accept it!"
Zhou Lin walked out casually and raised his hands in the direction of the capital, "The emperor ordered me to inspect Man City. Now that I have found out that General Zhu colluded with the tribe, you are innocent. You can still tell the difference in front of the emperor. If you resist now, you will be punished."
I accept the name of this person who is plotting evil and colluding with the tribe!"
Zhu Guang's movements froze.
Taking advantage of his moment of hesitation, General Lin raised his voice to the officers and soldiers behind Zhu Guang, "The Qingbu has identified General Zhu, and I know you don't know about it. As long as you no longer help the evildoers, capture him and hand him over to the emperor for personal interrogation.
Regardless of whether Zhu Guang is guilty or not, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you!"
Most of the officers and soldiers behind him retreated instantly. Although they did not take action, they stayed far away from Zhu Guang.
Zhu Guang was extremely angry, "You just believed his instigation? Maybe he is the one who colluded with the tribe and deliberately slandered me. You are only aiding the evil."
General Lin sneered, raised his hand and chopped off the head of a member of the Qing tribe. With blood flying, he said coldly, "If I collude with the tribe, I will be like this man."
This time, Zhu Guang's soldiers were completely far away from him.
There were still a few die-hards around Zhu Guang who fought hard with him. General Lin jumped on him and fought with Zhu Guang. Within a few seconds, Zhu Guang's die-hards were unable to move with a knife held to their necks.
Here, General Lin and Zhu Guang were fighting inextricably, but over there, the Li family brought by Zhu Guang quietly moved into the woods.
Before I had gone far, I heard a lazy female voice, "Where are you going?"
Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw Chu Yunli sitting on a branch, swinging her feet and making her skirt fly.
Li Chaowen's hands were tied behind his back and he quickly took a few steps forward, "Qiu Niang, don't make any sound."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows.
Li Chaowen's tone was gentle, "Qiuniang, please let me go for once and pretend you didn't see us. I will remember your goodness for the rest of my life."
Other members of the Li family nearby were also begging for mercy. Li Chaoshan agreed, "Brothers and sisters, we are all blood relatives of Xuan'er. If you let us go, we can invite you to the tribe as a guest in the future."
Chu Yunli ignored them and only looked at Li Chaowen, "I just want to ask you, do you ever regret that you pretended to be crazy while drinking, beat me and drove me away?"
"I regret it." Li Chaowen nodded hastily, "Qiuniang, I really regret it. You are the best woman to me in this world."
Chu Yunli: "..." He opened his mouth and said it! It was fake at first glance.
"It's a pity that I don't want to be nice to you. You, the Li family, are from the tribe. When you asked for marriage, you didn't mention it at all. Your family cheated on you. It was deception from the beginning. I will go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit and ask you to judge this.
The marriage is invalid."
Li Chaowen was anxious, "You can do whatever you want, but can you let us leave first?"
Chu Yunli smiled and looked at the mountains on both sides. In her previous life, Lu Qiuniang was intercepted and killed on her way to the Taoist temple, and she seemed to be nearby.
She stretched out her hand like a trumpet and shouted, "General Lin, the Li family is running away!"
Officers and soldiers immediately surrounded them. The Li family's hands were still tied, and they didn't even struggle. Their feet were also tied up.
Facing Li Chaowen's angry gaze, Chu Yunli shook his head, "You owe me this!"
Over there, General Lin cut off one of Zhu Guang's arms with a knife, and the victory was determined.
When returning to the city, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw a carriage coming out of the city. Chu Feng hurriedly opened the curtain. After seeing Chu Yunli's carriage, he ran over quickly. Seeing that she was fine, he was relieved.
.
General Lin took over the guard of Man City, and Zhou Lin took over as the prefect. The two worked together to investigate the tribesmen in the city. This winter was destined to be unrest. The difference from previous years was that the people in Man City were robbed and had to hide.
He got up and became worried. The reason for the unrest this year was that the officers and soldiers were searching for people from various tribes hiding in the barbarian city. Although they were fierce, they were not directed at the people of the barbarian city.
Officers and soldiers patrolled the city walls constantly, and no one with a questionable identity was allowed into the city. More than a hundred tribesmen were also found in the city. From beginning to end this winter, not a single household was robbed.
It was only later that everyone learned that it turned out that Man City could really prevent tribesmen from entering the city. It was Zhu Guang who had been robbed in the previous years. Last year, it was not possible because the conditions were not negotiated and Qingbu asked Li Chaowen to marry him.
Zhu Yan also wanted to get closer to General Zhu and let more people into the city.
As for the reason why Zhu Guang was willing to marry his niece into the Li family, maybe it was to take advantage of Qingbu, or maybe he wanted to get closer to Qingbu. Either way, it is impossible to test.
Because after Zhu Guang was arrested, he committed suicide out of fear of crime before entering Beijing.
It doesn't matter if he dies, General Lin has found evidence that he colluded with people from various tribes. Death would not be a pity!
As for the Li family, Li's father and Li's mother were both Qingbu people and had been lurking in the city for many years. The Qingbu people came to the city to rob the city, and most of the time they relied on them to support them. The whole family was executed by General Lin.
Before the execution, Zhou Lin also received a petition from Chu Yunli, saying that the Li family had deliberately defrauded the marriage, and that everything from the surname to the identity was false. The marriage certificate was invalid and the marriage was cancelled!
The child has changed his surname to Chu and has no relationship with the Li family.
On the day of the Li family's execution, Chu Yunli was sitting on the second floor not far away and could see clearly. As the executioner raised and lowered his knife, her heart instantly relaxed.
It was another spring day, and two carriages left Man City and slowly headed towards the capital.
In the carriage, Chu Yunli leaned on Chu Feng's lap and asked with a smile, "Will you come back in the future?"
At present, when appointing officials, they will deliberately avoid their ancestral home to prevent officials from showing favoritism. If Chu Feng were successful, he would not be appointed here. The barbaric city is remote and he will probably not come back again. Even if he does not succeed, with his
A single meritorious service can also lead to an official career, and the starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people.
"My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and eldest brother are still here. If you want to come back, I will accompany you." Chu Feng's eyes were full of smiles and satisfaction, "Wherever you are, that's my home."
Chu Yunli smiled, "Wherever you are, I will be there."
Hearing this, Chu Feng smiled even deeper and bent down to kiss her lips.
In the carriage behind, Xuan'er and Chu's mother were talking and laughing.
Chu's mother asked in a low voice, "Your mother is pregnant, do you prefer a younger brother or a younger sister?"
Xuan'er's face was serious, "I like them all. I am the brother, I will take care of them, but they must also listen to me."
This answer made Chu's mother very happy, and she touched his head with pity, "Good boy!"
The two carriages drove farther and farther in the warm spring sunshine, carrying joyful laughter.
