"Heartless villager, pay with your life for my husband ~!"
"Heartless villager, pay with your life for my husband ~!"
On this day.
Early in the morning, forty to fifty women wearing mourning clothes gathered at the entrance of the Li Family in Yongle Lane, loudly shouting slogans.
The strange clothes and special slogans of this group quickly attracted a large number of onlookers.
The Li Family should have been established in Chang 'an City for at least twenty years. Before Li Zexuan was born, the Li Family led by Li Jingmo was a true merchant family. But unlike most of the rich and heartless merchants who valued profit over righteousness, Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li had always insisted on being kind to others. Except for their business competitors, almost no one hated the Li Family. In the Yongle Lane area, and even in the neighboring areas, the Li Family's reputation and reputation were excellent.
Later, the son of the Li Family, Li Zexuan, returned from Mount Longhu and made many outstanding achievements, being conferred the title of Baron. The head of the Li Family also became Li Zexuan. Under the leadership of Li Zexuan, the Li Family still adhered to the principle of being kind, especially to the poor farmers and the children of humble families, bringing great benefits. The Li Family's reputation among the people also rose to another level.
Now, a group of women gathered at the entrance of the Li Family's residence to make a crusade. Many people felt it was inconceivable, and the onlookers kept increasing. They all pointed at the women in front of them and talked about them.
"Hey! Whose daughters-in-law are they ~? Why are they wearing mourning clothes and coming to the Li Family to make trouble? "
"Hey! I don't know! From what they're saying, it seems like Lord Li killed their husbands! "
"How is that possible? Lord Li and Lord Li are both good people. How could they do such a wicked thing? "
"Hey! I know her! Isn't that Changde's wife? But why is she wearing mourning clothes? "
"I heard that Changde was on duty in the Imperial Army. But in the battle of Snake Spirit Mountain two days ago, the Imperial Army was defeated by the Seven Cultivators Sect and could only retreat to the foot of the mountain. The Imperial Army also suffered heavy losses! Could it be that Changde unfortunately died in the battle? "
"Hiss ~! If that's the case, then aren't these mourning women the widows of the soldiers who died in the Snake Spirit Mountain the day before yesterday? "
"No wonder they came all the way here to cry! Li Xiannan was one of the main generals in the battle of Snake Spirit Mountain! "
"You can't say that, right ~? Which general has never lost a battle? You can't put all the blame on Lord Li just because of one defeat, right? "
…
"Dear neighbors, the husbands of these poor women are all Imperial Army soldiers who died in the battle on Snake Spirit Mountain. They died because of Li Xiannan's improper command! "We came here this time for no other reason than to ask the Li family to give them some compensation. After all, the pillar of their family is gone. In the future, they will have to live as widows and orphans. How can they live without money ~? Everyone, please be the judge. Are we asking for too much? "
Today, Jiang Cuihua was also among the crowd that came to cause trouble. When she saw that many people had gathered around, she turned around and said to the crowd with a sorrowful expression.
Her act of pretending and playing the sympathy card really did arouse the sympathy of many people.
"So it's like this ~! If that's the case, it's not too much! "
"It's not too much ~! Li Xiannan's family doesn't lack money! "
When Jiang Cuihua saw that the time was right, she continued to lead the women around her and shouted, "Black Hearted County Man, you are heartless! Pay for my husband's life ~!"
"Black Hearted County Man, you are heartless! Pay for my husband's life ~!"
As soon as Jiang Cuihua's voice fell, the group of women also quickly shouted.
"Black Hearted County Man, you are heartless! Pay for my husband's life ~!"
Some of the onlookers heard their miserable cries and couldn't help but sympathize with them. As a result, the shouting in front of the Li family's residence became louder and louder.
…
With such a big commotion, it was impossible for the Li family not to notice. In fact, when Jiang Cuihua brought the group of soldiers' widows over, the gatekeepers of the Li family's residence, San Bao and Fu, already noticed. It wasn't that the two of them didn't try to reason with them, but Jiang Cuihua was eloquent and insisted that Li Zexuan personally come out to settle the compensation for everyone. San Bao had no choice but to let Fu stand guard at the door while she went to the courtyard to report to Li Jingmo and Madam Li.
"Master ~! Madam ~! Not good ~! Not good ~! There are a lot of women causing trouble outside ~! "
It was about a quarter past seven in the morning. Li Jingmo, Madam Li, and Han Yuxi's family of three (originally, it was a family of six, but Li Zexuan, Lan 'er, and Iron Egg were all not at home) were eating breakfast in the front hall. Suddenly, they heard San Bao shouting outside. The three of them quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks. When San Bao came in, Li Jingmo asked first,
"San Bao, what did you say ~? There are people causing trouble outside the residence ~? "
San Bao took a deep breath and answered, "Yes, M-Master, there are 40 to 50 women outside the door. They said they want to see Young Master and ask him for compensation ~!"
"This … this brat …!"
Li Jingmo's face turned green. When he heard San Bao's words, he subconsciously thought that Li Zexuan had gotten himself into trouble outside! Thus, he couldn't help but look at his daughter-in-law guiltily. What should he do? His son had wronged his daughter-in-law. Who should he speak up for later ~?
Han Yuxi was stunned, but she didn't say anything. In front of the two elders, she wouldn't purposely interrupt. It wouldn't be too late to interrupt after she fully understood the ins and outs of the matter!
"Compensation ~? What compensation ~? San Bao, have you asked clearly ~? "
Madam Li didn't believe that her son would do such a thing outside. She first rolled her eyes at Li Jingmo, then looked at San Bao and asked.
"Madam, they …"
"The black-hearted county man is heartless. Pay with your life for my husband ~!"
San Bao was about to explain when a deafening shout came from outside. Madam Li's expression changed. She slammed the table and said coldly,
"Hmph ~! Where did this wicked woman come from ~! My son is upright and upright. I want to see who is pestering endlessly and ruining my Xuan 'er's reputation ~! "
With that, Madam Li stood up and was about to leave.
"Mother ~! Wait ~! "
At this moment, Han Yuxi hurriedly stopped Madam Li and said, "Mother, they are just a group of pitiful people. Let me go. I will settle this matter, okay ~? The two of you should have a good meal first ~! "
Madam Li stopped in her tracks and looked back at Han Yuxi. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay ~! I'll leave it to you ~! Mother and your father both support you ~! "
