The reason why Mrs. Li agreed to let Han Yuxi go out to solve this matter was mainly out of respect for this daughter-in-law. She felt that this family would be handed over to her son and daughter-in-law sooner or later. It might not be a bad thing to let Han Yuxi go out to train now!
The reason why Han Yuxi took the initiative to take on this heavy responsibility was mainly because she heard the group of women outside shouting, "The black-hearted county man is heartless. Pay with your life for my husband." She immediately thought of the matter that everyone in Chang 'an City had been discussing for the past two days that Li Zexuan had lost the battle. She felt that this matter was not simple. If it was not handled properly, it would bring a lot of trouble to Li Zexuan. Therefore, she took the initiative to take on this task.
"The black-hearted county man is heartless. Pay with your life for my husband!"
When Han Yuxi arrived at the door of the mansion, it was when the group of women outside were shouting the loudest. Her eyes scanned the crowd slightly and instantly saw who was leading this group of people. Some schemes immediately surfaced in her mind.
In an alley opposite the Li Mansion stood a man in black wearing a bamboo hat. When he saw Han Yuxi coming out from behind the door, he sneered and said,
"Hmph! This Li Zexuan is just so-so! After such a big thing happened, he actually only let a woman come out to do it perfunctorily! I don't know if you're confident or incompetent! Forget it! You're courting death! Originally, I didn't expect to use this matter to kill you, but now that you look down on this matter so much, you should be prepared to have a bad reputation! "
At the same time, the crowd in front of the Li Mansion saw Han Yuxi come out and also made a commotion.
"Hey! Someone from the Li Mansion is here! "
"Isn't this the wife of the Li County man?"
"Why didn't the Li County man come out personally?"
…
"Neighbors, please be quiet! If you have anything to say, you can sit down and talk slowly! "
Although Han Yuxi's clear voice could not be heard by everyone, most people still heard it. As the saying goes, even if you don't give face to the monk, you have to give face to the Buddha. Li Zexuan's previous impression of him was extremely good. Many of the onlookers quieted down, and those who continued to shout slowly quieted down.
Seeing this, Han Yuxi said generously, "Sisters, neighbors, everyone has been standing for so long. You must be tired and thirsty. Let's not care about anything else. Let's sit down and drink some water first before we talk about things. How about that?"
Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Han Yuxi to speak to them like this. Shouldn't the Lord and Madam be high and mighty?
Seeing that no one replied to her, Han Yuxi was not annoyed. She smiled and instructed San Bao, "San Bao, quickly arrange for someone to give everyone here a bowl of iced warmth and a cushion!"
In this era, although there were already Hu stools, there were still many people who usually knelt on cushions or brocade couches. There were at least a hundred people in front of her. It was not realistic for the Li residence to take out so many Hu stools in such a short time. Han Yuxi thought about it and could only let San Bao get the cushions.
"Yes, Young Madam!"
San Bao responded and was about to enter the door.
"Wait!"
Jiang Cuihua, who was caught off guard by Han Yuxi's strange move, walked out of the crowd and stopped her.
With rich experience in fighting, she knew that in a negotiation, the one who had the initiative would get the biggest benefits!
Han Yuxi waved her hand and motioned for San Bao to go in quickly. Then, she looked at Jiang Cuihua and asked, "May I ask who this aunt is …?"
"I'm Jiang Cuihua. I'm not worthy of being called aunt by Lord and Madam!"
Jiang Cuihua pretended to be polite and said, "Madam Jue, there's no need for you to spend money. These are all poor people who lost their husbands in the battle on Snake Spirit Mountain two days ago. They're here today to seek justice from Li Xiannan, so Madam Jue, please ask Li Xiannan to come out!"
Han Yuxi shook her head gently and said, "I'm sorry, my husband is not at home at the moment! His Majesty has sent troops to attack the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue for the second time. My husband is trying to find a way to destroy the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue at the smallest cost and avenge the soldiers who died in the battle! Yuxi is sad about the unfortunate experience of my sisters. If I were in your shoes, I believe I would be even more miserable than you. Today, let's not talk about right and wrong. Since you are all guests, please drink some water to cool down. Then, we can sit down and have a good talk! "
At this moment, the maids and servants of the Li Residence came out of the door one after another with wine bowls and futons.
Looking at the pink and gentle land that was emitting a cool air, many people couldn't refuse anymore. Although it was still early in the morning, it was still very hot in the summer. The women who had been shouting slogans were the ones who felt it the most. The weather was hot to begin with, and they had been shouting for so long. It would be a lie to say that they weren't thirsty! Moreover, the sight of the warm and gentle land in front of them made them salivate. No one could resist its attraction.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't drink ~!"
Jiang Cuihua saw that most people had picked up their wine bowls and started to taste the warm and gentle land. She couldn't help but feel anxious. As the saying goes, one's eyes blind one's eyes. They were here to collect debts. How could they drink other people's wine in front of other people's homes!
However, no one listened to her at this time.
What the hell is this ~!
Jiang Cuihua stomped her feet in anger. Then, she picked up her wine bowl and drank. Hmm, drinking this warm and gentle land is really cool and thirst-quenching ~!
"Cough, cough ~! We've drunk this water and sat down. Lord Jue, Madam, can we talk about business now ~? "
After a while, Jiang Cuihua licked her lips and asked embarrassedly. She was still thinking about the warm and gentle land that she had just drunk! She had never drunk this kind of thing before!
Han Yuxi swept a glance at the crowd. Seeing that most of them had calmed down and weren't as irritable as before, she heaved a sigh of relief. When she heard Jiang Cuihua's question, she smiled and said, "Of course, but …"
"But what ~?"
Jiang Cuihua was overjoyed. She thought that Han Yuxi was in trouble!
"But before that, sisters, please allow me to tell you about the decision that my husband made ~!"
Han Yuxi ignored Jiang Cuihua and looked at the forty to fifty women in mourning clothes in front of her. She said in a deep voice,
She said in a deep voice, "The Battle of Snake Spirit Mountain was far more unfavorable to the imperial army than you imagined. In the end, they were unfortunately defeated, causing 215 heroic souls to be buried here forever! My husband blamed himself deeply for this and couldn't sleep for the entire night! He had already decided that the Li Family would provide for the lives of these sacrificed soldiers and their families in the future!
Putting aside the compensation from the imperial court, the Li family will give every soldier's family members ten strings of money every year. If you are willing, you can send the children of the soldiers to study in the Yanhuang Academy in the future. There will be no fees! My husband originally planned to inform everyone of this decision after the Imperial Army completely annihilated the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue. At the same time, I also wanted to comfort your husband's soul in heaven. But since you've come to find me, I'll inform you in advance!
My husband has a clear conscience and only wants to live up to his conscience ~! "
