Everyone Knows I am a Good Man

"Why did the young lady come back so soon?"

The girl in the yard saw Liu Leping coming back and hurriedly greeted her into the house. Liu Leping found that the mother and Mrs. Ji who were talking in the house closed their mouths when they saw her coming in.

Don't you want her to hear what the mother talks with Mrs. Ji?

Liu Leping's doubts in his heart, not showing on his face, he sat down after saluting the two elders.

Mrs. Ji smiled and asked her: "Why do you come back so fast? Have you visited the Fuzhong Garden?"

Liu Leping replied: "I ran into Uncle Ji on the road. Uncle gave a gift and came back straight away."

Originally, when she met the elders, giving gifts to the elders was a normal thing, but after she finished speaking, she found that both her mother and Mrs. Ji's complexions changed instantly, and the mother who had always been calm actually stood up directly.

"What are you talking about, did you meet Ji Chang... Master Ji?"

It's just that I met an elder, not to mention that this is still in his house. Isn't it normal to meet?

Liu Leping didn't know, so he told the truth about the accidental encounter.

After speaking, she looked at her mother's complex expression, and asked with some worry: "But what did the daughter do wrong?"

Before her mother spoke, Mrs. Ji grabbed the conversation first. She smiled, but Liu Leping saw her smile very reluctantly.

"It's nothing, you guys are hungry too, Taohua, let the kitchen bring the food."

Both elders had to act as if nothing happened. Even though Liu Leping was curious, he was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

After a meal, she felt very good.

Mrs. Ji is the gentlest and best speaker of all the ladies she has ever seen. Maybe it’s because she had a handkerchief with her mother. She was also very kind to her. She frequently added food to her when she ate, and she raised her eyes by chance. All of them are Mrs. Ji's smiling face.

It seems that Mrs. Ji really likes the younger generation.

The guests and the host for a meal enjoyed themselves, and after chatting for more than an hour, Mrs. Liu got up to say goodbye and wanted to go back. When Mother Xu sent the mother and daughter to the gate of the yard, Liu Leping saw Master Ji again.

He was standing outside the door, talking to the girl guarding the door outside.

Seeing the two, he bowed his hand.

Before Liu Leping responded, he saw his mother's face changed drastically and stood in front of her.

She was surprised that her mother had always been dignified, how could she perform this rude gesture in front of outsiders. Before she could understand, Master Ji smiled reluctantly: "Where is the sister-in-law?"

"My husband is just a five-rank little official. When he is a sister-in-law, I ask the adults to give way. Don't get in the way."

The smile on Ji Changze's mouth became more and more far-fetched. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak any more, only saluted and turned away.

A cold wind blows, and Master Ji's wide sleeves are blown up, making it appear that his figure is slightly weaker and weaker.

Liu Leping wondered why her mother hated Master Ji in this way. It was obvious that she had a very good relationship with Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Liu didn't notice the loss of her daughter's eyes, she only turned her head and asked Mother Xu: "How can he still have the face to come here."

Mother Xu knew that Madam Liu was worried that Ji Changze was coming to Liu Leping, and she quickly explained:

"Master comes every day, but he doesn't go to the hospital. He just came to ask Mrs. if he had eaten and what kind of dishes he used."

"Cry cats and mice fake mercy! I lost Cici back then, but now I'm pretending to be a good person."

Madam Liu scolded angrily.

Mother Xu knew that she was complaining about the grievances of her wife. She only bowed her head as if she hadn’t heard her. When she sent them out of the house all the way, she took advantage of Liu Leping being supported by the **** the sedan chair, and whispered to Mrs. Liu: "Our wife’s It means, don’t bring Miss Leping here in the future."

Madam Liu was a little startled: "Cici is afraid?"

Mother Xu knew what she was talking about and nodded: "Although the first woman who delivered the baby was sick and died, the only people who knew about it were you, my wife, and the old slaves, but what kind of temper is your master? I also know that there are very few things I can hide from him. If Miss Leping comes more often, I don’t know what the master can tell."

Mrs. Liu understands.

She sighed: "It's just that Cici will suffer."

The biological daughter was in Beijing but she didn't dare to meet. She liked to look forward to it so much, but she had to personally decide not to see her in the future.

I blame that Ji Changze for doing evil, if it weren't for him, how could Cici want this.

On the other side, it should be said that they are husband and wife, Liu Shengyan is also swearing at Ji Changze.

Ji Changze who committed evil.

He had been walking hard along the way, but now he has to take a long way to deliver the letter. It is rainy and cold here, and the ground is all muddy. If a person walks inside, he can accidentally sink into the root of his leg, Liu Shengyan. The weak scholar, he felt like he was freezing to death in less than an hour.

I can't complain that this side is a place of exile, it's too bad.

After complaining all the way, he still didn't give up. When it was almost dark, Liu Shengyan found a place to redeem him.

This group of exiled people came to do hard work, and they had to pay three hundred gold to redeem one person.

The rule of ransoming a person with three hundred gold was naturally set by the emperor.

Anyway, as an emperor who needs money to eat, drink and play, he is determined not to let go of even a little money-making opportunity.

Three hundred gold, let alone the small officials who were exiled here, even those with savings in the family would have to take it out very hard.

People who have money to redeem their children were redeemed on the first day they were sent here. The rest, naturally, they have no money in their homes and will stay here for at least 20 to 30 years.

As soon as the redeemer's secretary entered, most of the prisoners who had been working in the distance quietly looked over, guessing which one was redeemed this time.

"No newcomers have come recently, can anyone make enough money?"

While working, people are discussing whose family may come to redeem him. Some people are interested in this, while others are not. They just do nothing but work.

One of the middle-aged people was not interested. He limped on a leg and limped at work. He didn't respond to other people's discussions, so he just bored his head.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go out, but he knows what the situation in his home is. He only has an old mother who can’t walk easily. Although his wife does embroider work well, she can sell it for a few dollars on weekdays. To collect three hundred gold is like a fantasy.

Therefore, he can only leave after being here for twenty years.

While he was sullen, the petty officer who was watching them suddenly walked towards him. He was shocked and hurried to work harder, for fear of being beaten again. He didn't expect the petty officer to come to him and just ask him; "You are Isn't it called yellow ginseng?"

He was stunned: "Yes, I am yellow ginseng."

"Okay, you go, someone will redeem you."

The yellow ginseng was stunned.

How can someone redeem him?

In the situation in his family, even if he sold the whole family, he couldn't make up the money.

But looking at the surrounding environment, the cocoons and blisters in the palm of his hand, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, finally, finally got rid of here.

Huang Ginseng limped and walked to the door under the envy and jealous eyes of other people. The officials confirmed his identity and let him go. Outside, there was a man sitting on a rock and throwing the stones in his boots. He was familiar, staring for several seconds before pulling it out of memory.

"Liu, Master Liu?"

Liu Shengyan put on his boots and got up to meet him: "Master Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Huang Ginseng smiled bitterly: "I have been demoted, so don't call me an adult."

Seeing that it was Liu Shengyan, his doubts in his heart became even more serious. The situation in Liu Shengyan's family was not much better than that of him. The two of them were half a catty. Where would the money come from to redeem him? The two have no friendship, so why come to redeem him?

When I arrived at the inn, I finally didn't have to step on the mud. Liu Shengyan breathed a sigh of relief. Then he started talking about the business: "I am here to redeem you. It is entrusted by others."

Yellow Ginseng was even more at a loss: "Who?"

Liu Shengyan stared at his face: "Master Ji Changze Ji."

The yellow ginseng was taken aback.

"This this……"

Liu Shengyan hurriedly asked: "What the **** was going on in the beginning, does Mrs. Huang know the inside story?"

He is trying hard to figure out what Ji Changze is selling.

Then ask the victim Huang Daren, and it will be clearest.

After all, it was Ji Changze who gave him a messenger, and he was sent here.

Huang Ginseng's expression was complicated, and he opened his mouth hesitantly, not knowing what to say, but looking at his expression, he did know something.

There is a play! !

Liu Shengyan hurriedly took out the letter from his baggage and handed it to Huang Ginseng: "Master Ji asked me to give this letter to you. Take a look."

After speaking, seeing Huang Ginseng began to open the letter, he quickly moved the stool over there, and followed it with a very natural appearance.

Holding this letter along the way, Liu Shengyan was curious to death, but this was Ji Changze's letter to others, and he was not easy to peek.

It can be seen now.

As a result, after reading the letter, it was better not to read it.

Before Liu Shengyan read the letter, there were only three question marks in his heart. After reading it, they became eighteen.

It was written in the letter that I hope Master Huang can help Liu Shengyan, help him quell the refugees, comfort the people, and complete the disaster relief smoothly. Liu Shengyan can understand these things.

He also wrote to make Mr. Huang feel at ease. His family is living as before. The two children are also in school. They are talented and learn very hard. Liu Shengyan also understands this.

But at the beginning of the letter, what do you mean by "I helped you as you wished, and now it’s time for you to shine and help me"?

When did Ji Changze help yellow ginseng?

Hasn't he been harming yellow ginseng all the time? Isn’t it because of Ji Changze that yellow ginseng fell to this exile?

By the way, after reading the yellow ginseng, his eyes were full of tears, his face was full of gratitude, and he looked like he could not wait to enshrine Ji Changze.

"Master Ji, Master Ji are really good people..."

Liu Shengyan: "???"

Wait, you know, didn’t Ji Changze make you here? ?

This is what Huang Ginseng is talking about.

He was grateful to Ji Changze very gratefully, upside down, and told the "truth" at the beginning.

"At that time, I saw that your majesty was going to take me and wait for these former officials of the former prince's family to perform various crimes. At that time, three former princes were accused of various crimes. Not to mention their own lives, their family members were also injured and sold."

The yellow ginseng was red, and he said gravely:

"I'm a small official, and I can't save myself. What's more, it's your majesty who wants our lives. Who can fight against your majesty? I thought, how could it be a death at all. Rather than suffer the whole family, it is better to just kill me. ."

Liu Shengyan understood it now.

"So you asked Ji Changze to pretend to hate you, find you a crime and send you to this remote place at will. Although you were exiled, your family fled."

"Do not."

Yellow Ginseng shook his head, his tone ashamed.

"At that time, I also believed that Master Ji was a villain who must be reported by Jacques. The villain with a deep heart and a vicious attack directly stepped on the adult's foot and was successfully exiled. I only thought that I had guessed the adult's reaction... …Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that Master Ji knew everything, but he didn’t say anything, he deliberately cooperated with me...

"I also think that Master Ji is a villain. It turns out that this is not the result of my calculation, but Master Ji deliberately helped me. I, I still misunderstood him like that. I really can't help the adults..."

Liu Shengyan thought about it. He clearly noticed it but didn't say anything. He just silently assisted him in accordance with Huang Ginseng's plan, which sounded a bit familiar.

Come to think of it, isn't this what Ji Changze had quietly helped him for more than ten years before, but never revealed anything in front of him?

Eh, Nagasawa...

Why on earth do you want to do this, and why on earth.

He patted yellow ginseng on the shoulder: "I understand you, you are at ease, Ji Changze is not the kind of person who is careful. I was like you before. He helped me behind for more than ten years. I scolded him for more than ten years. He never did. Care about me."

"Hey, I have suffered you too. For the sake of your family, you have to find your own sins. If you didn't meet Chang Ze, but the person who really will report to you, it is possible to lose your head."

Yellow ginseng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said dullly: "What can I do? At that time, instead of being annihilated, it would be better to just sacrifice me. In order to keep my family, I would do anything I want to do."

"No, if it's me, I'm afraid I will have to do the same, for the sake of my family..."

Liu Shengyan said and stopped suddenly.

For... family?

At the beginning... the situation of the Li family, if it weren't for Master Li's death in the court, Ji Changze quickly confessed the crime of Master Li. With the current practice, the Li family would definitely not be able to survive.

Nowadays, it has always been cutting the grass without leaving its roots, unless, unless the root system that was left behind is marked as guilty.

He has been wondering why Ji Changze suddenly changed a person back then. From a disciple of Master Rumu, a husband who is affectionate with his wife, to a friend who is cheerful and tolerant towards him, he became a framing Master, flattering the present, and stepping high. The villain of the elders.

Why, it changed so suddenly.

Are they all in disguise before? Is it all pretended by him?

But now, after knowing part of what Ji Changze had done silently, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

Perhaps Ji Changze has never changed.

It's just that if he doesn't, then the next one to die in front of him will be the Li family's wife.

Liu Shengyan asked Huang Renshen: "I ask you, if your wife, children and mother are in danger and want to save their lives, you must insult your dying father and act like a shameless villain. You will be insulted by all the people in the world. Do you do this?"

Huang Ginseng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I will."

"My father died early. Before leaving, he asked me to take good care of my mother. If he is alive, he will definitely support me in doing this. No matter how my reputation is damaged, I will definitely save my mother, wife and children, Master Liu, you Why are you crying, no, why are you laughing again? Did I make a mistake?"

Liu Shengyan cried and smiled and waved his hands: "Yes, that's right."

It turned out that it was so.
