By the time Yang Fan came out of the Ministry of Justice, it was drizzling again. Ren Wei handed him his straw raincoat and led his horse. Yang Fan adjusted the saddle and stirrups, sat down, and cupped his hands to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong returned the greeting with a smile and watched Yang Fan ride his horse into the distance. Only then did he turn around, lift the lapel of his robe, and step over the doorsill with ease. His attendant held an oil-paper umbrella for him and followed him step by step into the curtain of rain.
Outside the boundaries of the palace, it was no longer a smooth bluestone road. It had rained heavily last night, and in the early morning, all kinds of pedestrians, carriages, and horses had made the originally smooth street into ravines, crisscrossing, and very muddy. Especially on the side of the Tianjin Bridge, the civil officials' ox-carts, carriages, and the military officials' horses had trampled the ground into a puddle of mud.
Yang Fan slowed down his horse. When he stepped on the muddy ground to the bridgehead, his horse's hooves, which were as big as the mouth of a bowl, were covered in yellow mud. Following the clattering of the hooves, yellow mud fell from the horse's hooves, and the entire bridgehead was also dirty.
The drizzle continued, but the number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease. Ding Ding Street was the most prosperous and important street in Luoyang. Unless there was a hailstorm, there would not be a moment of peace here.
Yang Fan crossed the Tianjin Bridge and went down along the long street, passing by the Good Selection Square. Just as he was about to reach the Good Selection Square where he lived, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and there was a faint sound of cursing. Yang Fan stopped when he heard the sound, and reined in his horse to take a look. He saw a fair-skinned, handsome young man hurriedly escaping from the square.
This person's clothes were disheveled, and his hair was disheveled. His feet were trudging through the mud, and when he looked closely, he saw that he was barefooted. He was obviously dressed like a scholar, but he did not know what had happened to make him look so miserable.
While Yang Fan was slightly surprised, another group of people chased after him. Among them was a young woman in emerald green robes. Her hair accessories and clothes were all in the style of a married woman. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was pretty, but the tip of her eyebrows was raised, faintly giving off a fierce aura.
This long street had been soaked by the rain and was extremely muddy. Although there were many people on the street, there were very few women. This young woman with a head full of pearls and emeralds, dressed in luxurious clothes, did not care. In order to catch up with the young man who was running for his life in front of her, she lifted the hem of her dress with one hand and spread her legs wide open, causing the yellow mud to splatter everywhere.
Seeing that the young man in front of her had escaped onto the main street, making it even more difficult to chase after him, the pretty young woman hurled with all her might in a moment of desperation. A black object flew into the air, smashing towards Yang Fan. Yang Fan stood his horse motionlessly, allowing Wei to drive his horse forward a step. The sheathed long saber slapped towards the 'hidden weapon'. With a 'plop' sound, it fell to the ground. It was a wooden clog.
Ren Wei looked at the clog and then at his own mud-covered scabbard. For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As for the beautiful young woman, she was barefooted and caught up to the young man in just a few strides. She threw him down on the muddy ground like a tiger, swung her arms, and slapped him on both sides. "Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack" sounds rang out.
Being ridden by the young woman, the young man was in dire straits and was unexpectedly unable to resist. After suffering several slaps in a row, he couldn't help but cry out, "I am your husband. How dare you treat me like this?"
Riding on him, the young woman continued to wave her fan and claw as she loudly cursed, "My father will soon become the Crown Prince and I will be the current Princess. How dare you bully me like this?"
Hearing these words, Yang Fan was inwardly alarmed. When he looked again, it just so happened that the pretty young woman was fiercely slapping him, causing some mud to splatter on her face. She used the back of her palm to wipe it off, leaving behind several traces of mud. Not only did this not obscure her beauty, it instead added a bit of mischievousness. Seeing that she looked familiar, Yang Fan thought to himself, I've seen her before. Which daughter of the Prince of Luling is this? Ah! That's right, this is Yi 'an Junzhu!
Yi 'an Junzhu Li Xinyu had been chasing and beating, panting for breath. She was also somewhat tired. Seeing that the people of the residence had already caught up, she shouted, "A bunch of trash! Come here and tie him up for me. "
Since Yi 'an Junzhu had obtained the title of Junzhu, she had a residence, guards of honor, and a salary. She also had a group of subordinates of the Junzhu Fu, such as the judges of the hall, attendants, eunuchs, palace maids, and so on. However, they were limited by the level of regulation and did not have anything like a chief clerk.
At this time, she had already been married to Pei Xun for nearly two months and lived in her own Junzhu Fu. Other than her husband, everyone else in the fu was part of her dowry, so these people naturally only listened to her orders. Immediately, two strong servants came over, untied their belts, and tied Pei Xun up tightly.
Yi 'an Junzhu pointed at Pei Xun, unable to restrain her anger, and said, "You are so despicable. It has not even been two months since you were married to this Junzhu, and you already have an outside pet, treating me like I'm nothing. If I don't teach you a good lesson today, you won't know how powerful I am!"
Pei Xun refused to accept this and loudly retorted, "That woman was originally my maid, and we had intimate relations long ago. It was only because I married you that I sent her away and arranged for her to be placed in another residence. She is not an outside pet that I kept after I married you."
Yi 'an Junzhu Li Xinyu gave him another heavy slap on the face, scolding, "You still dare to rebut me! Since you are my husband, you still have an unclear relationship with her. Do you think you are in the right? "
After Yi 'an Junzhu finished speaking, she turned her head and shouted, "You are all a bunch of useless servants. Have the executioners not caught up yet?"
Pei Xun was shocked and struggled, saying, "Execute! Execute what? What do you want to do to Qing Ya? "
Qing Ya must be the name of his outside pet. Today, when he was visiting a friend, he had gone to be affectionate with that outside pet. He did not know how Yi 'an Junzhu had received the news and actually led people to attack. Pei Xun had fled in a panic, not knowing that Yi' an Junzhu was going to harm that woman.
Hearing this, Yi 'an Junzhu only smiled coldly and said nothing. After a while, four eunuchs dressed in the robes of eunuchs hurried over and bowed to Yi 'an Junzhu. Yi 'an Junzhu said harshly, "Have you punished that lowly servant?"
One of the eunuchs bowed and answered, "As Junzhu has ordered, we have already cut off that woman's nose and tongue. Please, Junzhu, examine them!" As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and opened it. There were two bloody things inside.
Pei Xun gave a loud cry, and tears streamed down his face. He glared angrily at Yi 'an Junzhu and said through gritted teeth, "You vicious woman, extremely jealous and cruel. You are not worthy of being a descendant of the Emperor!"
Yi 'an Junzhu smiled coldly and said, "Do you still want to slander the monarch's father? Do you want your entire family to suffer as well? "
Pei Xun's heart shook, and he gritted his teeth. However, he did not dare to curse anymore. Yi 'an Junzhu snorted coldly and raised her chin. She said proudly, "Don't think that I don't dare to punish you just because you are my husband! I am only giving you a small punishment today. In the future, if I find that you have wronged me in any way, I will castrate you! "
Yi 'an Junzhu slapped the bloody tongue and nose from the eunuch's hand and said, "Go, cut off his hair."
"Ah?"
When the eunuch heard this, he was shocked. He could punish a woman who had no one to rely on and no power, but the person in front of him was the husband of a Junzhu after all. How could he humiliate him like this? Also, the Pei Family was a large and powerful family. The Pei Family did not dare to do anything to Yi 'an Junzhu, but if he really dared to follow the Junzhu's orders, it would be easy for the Pei Family to punish a servant like him.
The eunuchs and eunuchs did not dare to act, and the subordinates all came forward to persuade him. Yi 'an Junzhu saw that they did not dare to act, so she pulled out a knife from the waist of an imperial guard and personally walked forward. She untied Pei Xun's hair and grabbed his hair. As she cut off his hair, she said, "Today, this Junzhu will use my hair as a token to teach you a small lesson. If you dare to mistreat me in the future, I will not forgive you!"
Pei Xun's hands were held behind his back, and two servants with great strength held him down. He could not struggle and could only allow Li Xinyu to cut his hair. The people on the street watched in the rain. They all looked at this pitiful person who had the misfortune of marrying the daughter of the imperial family with sympathetic gazes. Pei Xun raised his head to the sky and lamented. He wailed, "What sin did I, Pei Xun, commit in my previous life to marry such a barbaric and rude woman!"
Yang Fan saw that this Junzhu was making an outrageous ruckus, especially when she implicated the innocent and ordered people to cut off the nose and tongue of Pei Xun's favorite. This action caused Yang Fan to feel even more disgust. He made a hand signal to Ren Wei. Seeing this, Ren Wei immediately urged his horse forward and shouted, "Stop!"
Yi 'an Junzhu was burning with jealousy. She did not care who shouted for her to stop and continued to cut off his hair. Seeing this, Ren Wei could only float down from his horse and go forward to stop her. He said, "Junzhu, please stop!"
Li Xinyu had grown up in the mountains since she was young. Ever since she knew that her father was going to become the crown prince and she was going to become the princess of the dynasty, the attitude of a nouveau riche caused her to become so arrogant that she forgot herself. At this moment, the only person she was afraid of was the Wu family. Seeing that this person dared to go forward to stop her, she did not know the other's background. She stopped and asked, "Who are you?"
At this moment, Pei Xun's hair had been cut into long and short strands, as if it had been chewed on by a dog. It was unknown how much he had suffered, but at this moment, he only raised his head to look at the sky, allowing the fine rain to fall on his face. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he did not move at all.
Ren Wei said, "This subject is Ren Wei. I am only a minor officer under the command of the Investigating and Investigating Misconduct Disposal Envoy. Junzhu, using your wife to bully your husband, and this is on the streets, it is truly an affront to public morals. Even this subject cannot continue watching this. Please calm down, Junzhu. Since this is a family matter, even if there is something wrong with your husband, you can report it to your in-laws and make the decision. "
When Yi 'an Junzhu heard that this person's surname was not Wu and that he was some Investigating and Investigating Misconduct Disposal Envoy that she had never heard of before, she could not help but laugh coldly and say, "Since when can a cat or a dog run over to meddle in the private affairs of the imperial family? Get lost!"
Yang Fan raised his horse and went forward. He said indifferently, "This official is the current Emperor's Sentinel, not some cat or dog! If there is anything in Luoyang that violates the law, this official can investigate it! "
Li Xinyu raised her head to look and saw that the person sitting on the horse was wearing a woven rush raincoat. She could not see the color of his travel attire, but she could recognize his cold and stern face. She could not help crying out, "Yang Xiaowei!"
Li Xinyu knew that this person had helped her family. If not for this person, her father might not have been able to return to Luoyang alive, and she would never have had the chance to become a princess. However, hearing Yang Fan's stiff tone, she was still displeased. She said coldly, "Yang Xiaowei, this is my family's private affairs. Please do not interfere!"
Yang Fan said coldly, "Junzhu seems to have not heard clearly. Right now, this official is the Investigating and Investigating Misconduct Disposal Envoy. This official can interfere with anything that is unjust and illegal! The Law of Duel states that if a wife beats her husband, she will be punished for a year. If the injury is serious, she will be punished with three levels of fighting injuries! If the nose of another person is destroyed, she will be punished for a year! If the tongue is broken, it will flow for three thousand li! This official was once a minister of the Ministry of Justice. What I say is definitely not false. Is Junzhu not afraid of violating the laws of the country? "
