An hour later, the news of the young man's murder had spread in Qinggu.
Qinggu is not a place outside the law, it is still governed by the laws of Dachu. No matter how many feuds there are, no one will be allowed to kill people in broad daylight and flout the laws of Dachu. Of course, those who died in the deep mountains and old forests were not within the jurisdiction of Da Chu's laws.
In front of the Qinggu Stone Tablet, after the young man killed someone, he walked away and entered the Qinggu.
"Hey, I heard that no two teenagers killed anyone from the Ye family."
"No way, no way, these two boys don't want their lives. They dare to kill people from the Ye family in Qinggu."
"Hmph, do you think the Ye family now is still the Ye family before? It has been declining over the years."
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Ye family ranks at the bottom among the three families in Qinggu, not everyone can bully them. Not to mention two mere brats."
"Hey, who knows. All I know is that we have something good to watch again."
The murder of Yu Zhi soon became a topic of conversation in Qinggu.
The vendetta in Qinggu is not a big deal, but the killing of people from the Ye family is interesting.
Everyone knows that Ye Qiurong, the second young lady of the Ye family, had an affair with Shao Yan, the eldest son of the Shaowu Hou Mansion. Who knew that after the romantic Shao Yan got pregnant, he turned around and married a young man? The wife took over the Shaowu Hou Mansion.
The Ye family's dream of a successful career was shattered like a bubble. In the following years, the Ye family was suppressed by the Shaowu Hou Mansion. The other two families in Qinggu naturally followed the trend and embezzled the Ye family's property.
But the Ye family had nothing to do about it, and always wanted to get closer to Shaowu Houfu to find a way out. The young lady will block it, just to see the Ye family half-dead.
Over the years, people in Qinggu have been waiting to see the Ye family's jokes.
In Ye Mansion, Ye Jue and Ye Huang stood in the middle of the lobby, accepting questions from everyone.
"Where's the man? I asked you two to pick up Ye Xiao. If he's gone, why are you two coming back?" Ye Chong was furious. I originally thought I could see Ye Qinghuan today, but as soon as I entered Qinggu, I disappeared.
The two losers who picked him up came back.
Ye Chong looked at the two of them and was furious. "I am idle on weekdays and fail more than I accomplish."
Ye Jue and Ye Huang were trembling and had already discussed how to defend themselves. Just listen to Ye Jue say: "Uncle, you really don't blame us. Ye Xiao drew his sword as soon as he saw us. He doesn't look like a brother, he is clearly an enemy."
"Laifu, for saving us, his head was chopped off. Everyone saw this."
Ye Huang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, uncle. This Ye Xiao must have been outside for a long time and has not been properly disciplined. He is so rude to us. When he comes to the Ye family, he will be lawless."
"I must think of a way to treat him well and let him know that our Ye family has rules."
Ye Chong was short-minded and recognized a fatal truth, that is, even nine cows would not be able to pull him back. Just like when he insisted on going to Tiandao Mountain and taking Ye Xiao away, he was mocked ruthlessly by Yu Zhi.
Now, when Ye Chong heard what Ye Jue and Ye Huang said, he had no doubt about him.
"Have someone search for him quickly. We must find Ye Xiao."
Ye Liang took over the conversation and continued: "Brother, what Jue'er and Huang'er said makes sense. This is Qinggu, Ye's Mansion. We must let Ye Xiao know that the elders and younger ones are in order. Outside, he is the Qingyun Examiner He is at the top of the list, but in Ye Mansion, he is your nephew and mine. Otherwise, where would we put our dignity as elders?"
Seeing this, Ye Qinghe sighed in his heart. She knew that things were definitely not as Ye Jue and Ye Huang said, but it was a pity that my stupid father actually believed it. Now there is this extremely stupid third uncle who is making suggestions, thinking about how to deal with people before they meet.
She took a sip of tea and looked at Ye Tianfeng, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, wondering what the old man was thinking about.
Suddenly, Ye Qinghe asked: "Ye Xiao came alone?"
Ye Jue replied: "There is also a young man who is traveling with him. He is wearing thin clothes and looks like Ye Xiao's servant."
Ye Qinghe smiled bitterly. Sure enough, he would not let his good brother come alone.
"The one who drew the sword to kill was Ye Xiao?" Ye Qinghe asked again.
Qian Jue continued: "It was that servant. He suddenly started killing people and everyone saw it."
As a result, Ye Qinghe's head hurt even more. These two guys really look like Third Uncle, they must be causing trouble for others. As everyone knows, that young man is not used to you either. He even dares to deal with the young master of the Ministry of Household Affairs, let alone you two?
Ye Qinghe held his forehead and rubbed it gently. The corner of his eyes swept across the uncles and elders in the lobby, and he felt a sense of powerlessness.
It would be okay if it was Ye Xiao who killed him, but if it was the young man who killed him, it would be out of control.
"Qinghe, where are you going?"
"Dad, my daughter is a little tired. Let's go back and rest first." Ye Qinghe replied,
Ye Liang also said: "Qinghe is weak, go back and rest. Once you have rested, just wait for Ye Xiao to serve you tea."
Ye Qinghe sighed softly and walked out of the lobby without looking back. She looked at the sun in the sky and thought to herself, an hour had passed, where would the two of them go back?
...
There are also many ordinary people in Qinggu. In the previous generations, they may have been a famous family, but they have declined from generation to generation. The glory of most families only lasts for a short period of ten years, and then disappears from everyone.
Today's prosperity, tomorrow's ruins. Over time, it is enough for a sect to collapse.
Judging from the situation in front of the Qinggu Stone Tablet, Yu Zhi knew that someone in the Ye family had other thoughts and still treated Ye Qinghuan with that condescending and domineering mentality. This is something Yu Zhi cannot tolerate.
The little brother I took in is the only one I can bully. What is the Ye family?
After entering Qinggu, the two of them did not go directly to Ye's house. Instead, they walked through the streets and came to an extremely remote corner.
There is no high-walled courtyard here, nor are there any guards or servants, just a simple thatched hut. There are several locust trees planted next to the thatched house, with lush branches and leaves. The snow on the tops of the trees melts and occasionally a sparse burst of rain falls.
In front of the thatched house is an open space. A stone table, a stone stool, nothing superfluous.
Behind the thatched house is a mountain wall, hundreds of feet high, reaching into the sky.
Yu Zhi bit a straw, put his hands on his waist, looked at the somewhat simple thatched house, and said, "No way. The dignified Marquis Beiliang actually lives here?"
Ye Qinghuan couldn't believe that the ministers in Kyoto had several mansions, so a marquis wouldn't be so depressed, right?
"Could we be looking in the wrong place?"
Yu Zhi spat out the straw in his mouth and said: "Probably not. I've been asking around and it should be here. The good Lord Marquis doesn't live in Beiliang City, so he comes here to eat bran-thick vegetables. I don't know what he thinks. .”
"You're already here, let's go and ask first."
Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan had just approached the thatched house when suddenly a force like a storm blocked the two of them. With a plop, they were caught off guard and flew out one after another.
Ye Qinghuan turned over with a dexterous swallow and landed firmly on the ground. Yu Zhi didn't have this skill, so he hit the snow on the ground and took a mouthful of slush.
"I don't see outsiders, please stop." A deep voice came from the thatched house, and even this voice made their heads hurt.
Bah, bah... Yu Zhi spit out two mouthfuls of snow slush, then picked up a pile of snow and rinsed his mouth.
"It seems we found the right place." Yu Zhi said.
Ye Qinghuan also nodded, recalling the scene just now, "That move just now was at least the eighth level of the monument."
Yu Zhi took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "I'm Yu Zhi, my aunt Li Qingru asked me to come to Beiliang Mansion to look for the Marquis. Please see the Marquis for this token."
After that, Yu Zhi took out the golden leaf, raised his hand and flew into the thatched house through the window.
There was silence in the thatched house, and after a long silence, there was a sound again. There was a faint suppressed excitement in the voice, which Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan did not notice.
"Tell me again, what's your name?"
Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said again: "Junior Yu Zhi."
Squeak!
The door of the thatched house opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a gray and white robe walked out without a smile. The man's figure is like a spear, straight and straight, with long hair tied up, showing a serious face, which gives off an aura of calmness and self-reliance at first glance.
This is none other than Wei Wuji, the Marquis of Northern Liang!
The name Beiliang shows Wei Wuji's status in Beiliang. However, Wei Wuji has lived here in seclusion all year round, living in a corner and not paying attention to worldly affairs, which is really incredible.
Wei Wuji looked at Yu Zhi excitedly, with only Yu Zhi's appearance in his eyes. He looked at it carefully and murmured: "It looks like. It's really similar."
Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan were confused. They didn't know what the Beiliang Marquis was doing when he froze in place after going out.
After a while, Wei Wuji knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Wei Wuji, the Seven Star General of the Beidou Camp, pays homage to the young master!"
Um?
What Beidou Camp?
What seven-star general?
Yu Zhi continued to scratch his head. This question was beyond the scope.
Yu Zhi looked at Ye Qinghuan, and the two made eye contact.
"Isn't he the Marquis of Beiliang? How did he become the Seven Star General of Beidou Camp?"
"How do I know? It's you they call you, Young Master Yu?"
Yu Zhi said to Wei Wuji: "Master Hou, have you admitted the wrong person?"
Wei Wuji said stubbornly: "It can't be wrong. You must be the young master. The gold leaf proves that you are exactly the same as the master."
An idea flashed in Yu Zhi's mind, and he knew that now he might know his life experience, his dead father and his mother who might still be alive.
Yu Zhi asked in a deep voice: "Who is your master...?"
Wei Wuji suddenly came to his senses and responded: "Young Master, I still need to ask Master Li about this matter. I can't tell you, and I can't. Since Master Li hasn't told you, I don't dare to make my own decision."
"You seriously didn't say it?"
"Can't say." Wei Wuji kept silent and just knelt like this.
After a long time, Yu Zhi sighed and said, "Master Marquis, you should get up first."
"Yes, young master."
"Don't call me that, I'm not used to it. Just call me Yu Zhi."
"This is not good."
"Whatever you want, don't call me Young Master anyway. You are a majestic prince, and you call me Young Master. Could it be that my father is the emperor? I am the illegitimate son of Emperor Chu?"
"Young master, please don't talk nonsense." Wei Wuji looked at Yu Zhi, but his character was nothing like the master's.
"You see, how easy it is for people to misunderstand."
"Then my subordinate calls you Mr. Yu?"
"That's it." Yu Zhi originally thought that Marquis Beiliang was a difficult person to deal with, but the current situation was beyond Yu Zhi's expectation.
No wonder my aunt and uncle both said that if anything happens, they can go to the Marquis of Beiliang. It turns out that he is a subordinate of my unknown father.
I am grateful to my aunt who is far away in Wendao Academy for arranging everything for me.
