Liu Guangye slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he breathed in a mouthful of air. Before he could exhale, he saw a ferocious ghost with a green face staring at him with a pair of strange eyes. The ghost was very close to him.
Liu Guangye cried out, he was hit again!
Niu Yilang saw that Liu Guangye finally opened his eyes and was overjoyed. Just as he got closer to him, he heard Liu Guangye let out an inhuman scream and fainted again. He could not help but look at 'Xiang Kuangka' who was treating Liu Guangye in shock.
'Xiang Kuangka' looked at him innocently with a pair of strange eyes painted with white paint.
'Xiang Kuangka' was the name of the Xie Man tribe. When translated into Chinese, it meant shaman.
This shaman was very famous in the barbarian province. Two days ago, he was invited to treat an elder of the Song family. He stayed in the residence and had not left yet. In order to show that he valued this imperial envoy, Song Wanyou specially invited this' Xiang Kuangka 'to treat Liu Guangye.
'Xiang Kuangka' heard that this official was only knocked out and did not fall sick, so he did not give him any tricks. He only asked someone to bring a bowl of clear water. He drew talismans and chanted incantations. Finally, he lit the talismans and threw the ashes into the water.
Strangely enough, when the ashes entered the water, the water immediately turned as black as ink. No one knew why such a strange change occurred. 'Xiang Kuangka' poured the bowl of ink into Liu Guangyi's stomach and gave him a massage. He did not know whether it was the shaman's medicine that took effect or the time he was unconscious was almost up. In short, Liu Guangyi woke up.
But this shaman's attire was very strange. His face was painted with all kinds of colors, making him look like a ghost. Liu Guangyi had just woken up and did not know what was going on. When he opened his eyes, he saw a ghost face and actually fainted again.
Luckily this time he did not faint for long. After a while, Liu Guangyi woke up again. This time, that 'Xiang Kuangka' learned his lesson and hid far away. Liu Guangyi opened his eyes and saw Niu Yilang's flattering smile. Only then did he not faint again. He said with lingering fear, "Just now … just now I think I saw a ghost."
Niu Yilang explained embarrassedly, "Censor, that's not a ghost. It's the doctor that County Magistrate Song invited for you."
Niu Yilang explained clearly in a few words. Only then did the 'cowardly Xiang Ga' who had drawn a grimace on his face come forward. He tried his best to squeeze out a gentle smile, but the more he looked at him, the stranger he felt.
When Liu Guangye heard that it wasn't a malicious ghost, he felt relieved. He had done too many shameful things, and now that the impossible had happened, he was really terrified.
Calming himself down, he recalled the humiliation he had suffered today.
"Yang Fan!"
Liu Guangyi spat out this name viciously, but he couldn't clench his teeth, so he could only purse his lips.
All of his teeth were knocked out, so he could only purse his lips. If an ordinary person lost their teeth, even if they did not purse their lips, their cheeks would still be shriveled. However, Liu Guangyi was different. His cheeks were red and swollen from the slaps. Although he pursed his lips tightly, his cheeks were not sunken like a monkey's. Instead, they were rosy like a monkey's.
Niu Yilang rubbed his hands uneasily and said, "Censor, now that Yang Fan is here, he will definitely find trouble with us. Do you think … we should … hide for a while? Anyway, there is more than just Bazhou in Qianzhong Province. "
Liu Guangyi pursed his lips and shook his head coldly. It's just that with his' glowing red face ', others really couldn't tell that he had a cold expression, but the hatred in his eyes could be seen.
"I was beaten up by him, if I leave like this, I won't be able to raise my head for the rest of my life! You do the hard work, I'll do the hard work … "
Liu Guangyi's triangular eyes flashed with resentment. With a 'glowing red face', he ordered, "Call the leaders of those two soldiers over."
Niu Yilang was shocked and said, "Censor Liu, what are you going to do? Yang Fan is rude, when the censor returns to the capital, he can be impeached in front of the Emperor. If you use the soldiers to fight, then … then there's no one to argue! "
"Bullshit! Cough cough cough cough … "
Liu Guangyi flew into a rage. Unexpectedly, he only raised his voice and cursed once before he choked and coughed. He felt that his throat was full of the smell of cigarette ash, as if he was crawling in a chimney. Liu Guangyi coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of black phlegm. He said sternly, "You also know that he is rude, if I just tolerate it, how can I still have the face to stand in the Imperial Court? Go call the people over, I will bear all the consequences! "
Although Liu Guangyi's voice was a little leaky, it was still understandable.
Niu Yilang saw that his cheeks were red and swollen, but he was still able to do such a difficult action as' twisting '. It was enough to show the depth of his anger. Niu Yilang didn't dare to say anything more and quickly complied and left.
…
"Your Han language seems to be pretty good?"
Sun Yuxuan held a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other. He circled around Miss Hu Fei and said with a slight smile.
The dozens of Xie Man that Yang Fan brought back were placed in an abandoned horse shed in the Song Family. Hu Yuanli brought two secretaries and was interrogating them one by one and taking down their records. When Sun Yuxuan arrived, he said that he wanted to help him take down their records. In the end, he looked around in the crowd and the first person he set his eyes on was Miss Hu Fei.
"Although we live in the mountains, we are not isolated from the world. We often have to go out and walk, but we will also come out when we go to the market. Moreover, my father said that although our ancestors have lived in the mountains for generations, but as the people of the Tang dynasty, we can't not even know how to speak the language of the Tang people, and we can't not know how to write the characters we use.
It just so happens that the Imperial Court has sent a lot of exiled people here. They can't adapt to the life here, and they can't find a way to make a living, so their lives are very poor. But they are all literate people, so my father invited a teacher to come to the village. We are responsible for the teacher's food, and the teacher taught us how to read and write. "
"Oh! From the sound of it, your father seems to be the leader of your village? "
"Yes! My father is the leader of our village. When I was captured, my father was leading people to hunt in the mountains. He must be very worried right now. "
The Miao girl Hu Fei's face showed a sad expression.
Sun Yuxuan glanced at the silver necklace hanging on Miss Hu's neck and thought, "No wonder these Miao girls all wear short handkerchiefs on their heads. Although they wear colorful clothes, they at most wear a pair of silver earrings. But she can wear a silver necklace on her neck. So she is the daughter of the head of the village …"
Miao girls like to wear silver ornaments, but very few people can wear a complete set of ornaments.
Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, silver hats and so on are very rare. If there is occasionally a Miao girl who can wear all these ornaments, most of them are passed down from their ancestors. It is unknown how many lifetimes they have saved to be able to collect a complete set of silver ornaments, although the silver content of many Miao silver ornaments is actually not high.
However, even if there is a Miao girl who has collected a complete set of silver ornaments, unless it is a grand festival or a wedding day, they will not wear it all. Therefore, from the number of ornaments they wear in their daily clothes, one can roughly judge the family's status and financial situation in the village.
Sun Yuxuan held the brush in his hand and did not dare to look at her face. He only lowered his head and pretended to take notes seriously. He asked again, "Miss, how old are you? Do you have a husband? Who else is in your family?"
Hu Fei blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Do the officials even need to ask about these things?"
Sun Yuxuan coughed and said in a serious manner, "The rules of the imperial court are naturally stricter. Don't ask too many questions, just answer! "
"Oh!"
Although Hu Fei learned to read and read from the Han teacher, she did not understand the procedures of the yamen. Sun Yuxuan's bluff made Hu Fei believe him and she obediently replied, "This year … I am fifteen and a half years old now. I have not betrothed to anyone yet. I have two older brothers and two younger brothers at home … "
When Sun Yuxuan heard that she was not betrothed, he was delighted and blurted out, "Cough! Then … do you have a sweetheart? "
"Hmm?"
Hu Fei glanced at Sun Yuxuan and felt that there was something wrong.
She was an extremely intelligent girl. Not to mention that she was educated and knew how to read, even if she was illiterate, she would understand that whether she had a sweetheart or not had nothing to do with the case that Sun Yuxuan was asking about. She stared at Sun Yuxuan with her big black eyes and looked suspiciously at him. She wanted to ask but did not dare to.
Sun Yuxuan held the brush in his hand and pretended to take notes. In the end, he pricked up his ears and listened for a long time but did not receive an answer. He could not help but raised his head and asked, "Why aren't you answering?"
When he raised his head, he saw the girl's clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through his heart. Sun Yuxuan's old face turned red and he felt embarrassed.
Hu Fei looked at his expression right now, how could she not know what he was thinking in his heart. Although the Miao women's temperament was straightforward, her face blushed, just like a cherry that had just ripened, a beautiful shyness appeared on her face.
At this moment, there was a noise in the distance. Sun Yuxuan and Hu Fei looked up and saw a group of soldiers with spears and sticks walking over with a murderous look. Sun Yuxuan's expression changed. He subconsciously stood in front of Hu Fei and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid. As long as I am here, I will protect you!"
Hu Fei glanced at him. She thought that this uncle was just kind-hearted and upright, but he had protected her time and time again. Now it seemed that … he wanted to be her lover? Thinking of this, her face became a little hot and her heart gave birth to a strange feeling.
Sun Yuxuan was very nervous, but he did not know what the girl was thinking. Hu Yuanli, who was interrogating the people, also saw the soldiers and Liu Guangye who was being supported by someone. He immediately sent a scribe to report to Yang Fan.
They all thought that Liu Guangye was going to attack the Xiemeng tribesmen again. Unexpectedly, Liu Guangye did not look at them and led the soldiers to rush straight in front of them.
Liu Guangye was really mad with anger. His blood was boiling and he did not care about the consequences. He gathered the soldiers and threatened them, saying that he only brought them to the stockade to catch the traitors. They raped, pillaged and committed numerous crimes, but it was not his intention. Now that Yang Fan had rushed over, he was going to investigate this matter.
When the time comes, he would only be punished for not strictly restraining the soldiers, but the soldiers who committed the crime would be beheaded. These soldiers had always known that there was a leader but not the imperial court, so they lacked respect for the imperial court. Their common hatred for the enemy was stirred up by him, so he instigated them, saying that they wanted to drive Yang Fan away.
It was funny to say that Liu Guangye's idea was to let Niu Yilang and another servant take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Yang Fan and plant the blame on the soldiers. This method was very similar to the method Yang Fan originally planned to use to deal with him. Two high-ranking officials of the imperial court, dignified imperial envoys, were going to play the role of bewitchment and fight.
However, it was common practice for imperial envoys to bring a brigade with them when inspecting a place. As soon as Liu Guangye returned to the city, he was knocked unconscious by Yang Fan with a few punches and kicks. Song Chumeng was worried that the two sides would clash again, so she arranged for Yang Fan's men to be on the other side of the Song family's vast manor. Liu Guangye still did not know that Yang Fan had hundreds of elite imperial guards with him.
