"A man from Black Heart County has lost his conscience and will pay with his life for my husband~!"
This day.
Early in the morning, forty or fifty women wearing sackcloth and mourning gathered at the door of Li's house in Yonglefang, shouting slogans loudly.
The strange costumes and special slogans of this group of people soon 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, the Li family led by Li Jingmo was an out-and-out merchant family. However, unlike most other merchants who were rich and unkind and valued profits over righteousness, Li Jingmo and Li Jingmo Madam has always insisted on being kind to others. Except for business competitors, there are almost no people who hate the Li family. In Yongle Fang, and even in several adjacent private houses, the Li family has an excellent reputation.
Later, the son of the Li family, Li Zexuan, returned from studying martial arts at Longhu Mountain. He repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and was awarded the title of baron. The head of the Li family became Li Zexuan. Under the leadership of Li Zexuan, the Li family still adheres to the principle of benevolence, especially bringing great benefits to poor farmers and children from poor families. The Li family's reputation among the people has also reached a higher level.
Nowadays, there is such a group of women gathering in front of Li's house to crusade in unison. Many people find it incredible, and more and more people are watching, all pointing and talking at the group of women in front of them.
"Hey~! Whose daughter-in-law are these? Why are you wearing mourning clothes and coming to Li's house to cause trouble~?"
"Hey~! I don't know~! From what they say, it seems that Lord Li killed their husbands~!"
"How is it possible~? Lord Li and Mr. Li are both good people, how could they do such immoral things~?"
"Hey~! I know~! Isn't that the Changde family's mother-in-law? But why is she wearing mourning clothes~?"
"I heard that Changde had been on duty in the Forbidden Army before, but in the battle at Snake Spirit Mountain the day before yesterday, the imperial army was beaten by the Seven Xiu Sect and had to retreat to the foot of the mountain. The Forbidden Army also suffered heavy losses! Could it be that Feifei De also died in the battle~?"
"Hi~! If this is the case, then aren't these women wearing sackcloth and mourning the widows of those soldiers who died in the battle at Sheling Mountain the day before yesterday~?"
"No wonder they came here to cry! The man from Li County was one of the main generals in the battle at Snake Spirit Mountain~!"
"You can't say that~? Which general has never been defeated~? You can't put all the blame on Lord Li just because of one defeat, right~?"
………………………
"My neighbors, the husbands of these poor people in front of me are all the Forbidden Army soldiers who unfortunately died in the battle in Sheling Mountain. They all died because of the improper command of Li County men! We are here this time, not for In addition, I just ask the Li family to make some compensation for them. After all, the backbone of their family is gone, and they will be orphans and widowed mothers in the future. How can they live without money~? Can you please comment, are our demands excessive~? "
Today, Jiang Cuihua was also among the people who came to make trouble. When she saw that many people had gathered around her, she turned around and said to the onlookers with a sad look on her face.
Her pretentiousness and pathos really aroused the sympathy of many people.
"So that's what happened~! It's not too much to say so!"
"It's not too much! The man's family in Li County is not short of money!"
When Jiang Cuihua saw that the heat had arrived, she continued to lead the women around her and shouted: "The man from Heixin County has lost his conscience, so he must pay with his life for my husband~!"
"A man from Black Heart County has lost his conscience and will pay with his life for my husband~!"
As soon as Jiang Cuihua finished speaking, the group of women quickly followed suit.
"A man from Black Heart County has lost his conscience and will pay with his life for my husband~!"
Some of the onlookers could not help but feel sympathy when they heard their miserable cries, and they also shouted together. As a result, the shouts in front of the Li Mansion became louder and louder.
…………………………
It was impossible for the Li family to not notice such a big movement. In fact, when Jiang Cuihua came over with the widows of the soldiers, Sanbao and Afu, the concierges of the Li Mansion, had noticed it. It was not that they didn't try to argue with them, but they couldn't. Jiang Cuihua was a good talker and insisted that Li Zexuan come out to resolve the compensation issue for everyone in person. Sanbao had no choice but to let Ah Fu watch in front of the door, and he went to the yard to report to Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li.
"Master~! Madam~! It's not good~! It's not good~! There are many women making trouble outside~!"
It was almost a quarter of the hour. Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li and Han Yuxi's family of three (it was supposed to be a family of six, but Li Zexuan, Lan'er and Tiedan were not at home now) were having breakfast in the front hall when they suddenly heard something outside. The three of them quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks as San Bao yelled. When San Bao came in, Li Jingmo asked first:
"Sambo, what did you say~? Someone is making trouble outside the house~?"
Sanbao took a breath and replied: "Yes, Master... Master, there are forty or fifty women outside the door. They said they want to see the young master and ask him to compensate for the money~!"
"This...this brat...!"
Li Jingmo's face turned green. Hearing what Sanbao said, he subconsciously thought that Li Zexuan had incurred a lot of romantic debts outside! So he couldn't help but glance at the daughter-in-law next to him with a guilty look, and thought to himself, what should I do? My son feels sorry for his daughter-in-law, who should I speak to for now~?
Han Yuxi looked startled, but she didn't say anything. In the presence of the two elders, she would not deliberately interrupt. It would not be too late to fully understand the ins and outs of the matter before interrupting!
"Compensate~? How much money do you have to accompany me~? Have you asked Sanbao clearly~?"
Mrs. Li didn't believe that her son would act recklessly outside. She rolled her eyes at Li Jingmo first, then looked at Sanbao and asked.
"Madam, they..."
"A man from Black Heart County has lost his conscience and will pay with his life for my husband~!"
Just as Sanbao was about to explain, a loud shout happened to come from outside. Mrs. Li turned aside her face, patted the table and said in a cold voice:
"Hmph~! Where did you come from, this cunning woman~! My son walks upright and sits upright, but I want to go see what kind of people are messing around and ruining the reputation of my family, Xuaner~!"
After saying that, Mrs. Li stood up and was about to go out.
"Mom~! Wait~!"
At this time, Han Yuxi quickly called out to Mrs. Li and said: "Mom, they are just a group of pitiful people. Just let me go and I will take care of this matter, okay~? You two, please have a good meal first." Let’s go~!”
Mrs. Li paused and looked back at Han Yuxi. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay~! Then I'll leave it to you~! Mom and your father both support you~!"
