Lin Ye Xiaoji

It was September, and the autumn tiger spared no effort to exert its last heat, drying the unharvested wheat fields on both sides of the Huangguan Road, and rolling the red leaves of the fruits of the tall trees. soil.In the hot and dry air, two black horse-drawn carriages were hurrying along the road, the wheels were covered with dried mud and withered grass, and the horses seemed to be unable to bear the long journey, panting weakly.Occasionally, a woman's earnest sigh and a young man's low voice of consolation could be heard from inside the carriage.

In a tea shop fifty miles away, an old man with white beard and a young man with black hair were silently drinking tea.The white-bearded old man has a thin body, with wrinkles engraved on his face that the years have spared no expense in giving.He put down his teacup, and after a while he said to the young man in a somewhat serious tone: "Lin Shao, Mr. Ye's carriage has only passed for two hours, and you caught up in a while. Mr. Ye was once my savior. I was framed for the first time, and I wanted to take you to the prison to save him, but he died of illness in prison before he could go there. Master Ye was an upright official, and his life was clean and upright, he offended many people, I am afraid that those people are waiting for an opportunity Take revenge on the family members. This time you escorted the Ye family members back to their hometown, you should repay my kindness for me."

After listening to the old man's words, Lin Shao's eyes were full of doubts, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and he asked, "Master, it's not difficult to escort the Ye family, why do you want me to go, any junior can't go?" He approached the old man and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the master is hiding something from his disciples, so he wants to drive me away, tsk tsk, don't you want to meet the village head 40 years ago...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man glared angrily and scolded: "What nonsense, if you don't want to go, that's fine, then follow me to Qin Town to meet your uncle!" Lin Shao heard that he was going to see his master Uncle, immediately thinking of the slug-like and clingy little junior sister in the uncle's house, and the sticky candy in the little junior sister's hands, he couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said: "Master, I think I'd better go escort Ye family, after all, our teacher taught us to repay you with gratitude, so you should go see your uncle yourself."

The old man slowly drank the tea in the cup, then snorted through his nose to show that he knew, and then told him not to cause trouble, and went to look for Senior Brother Ning after escorting the Ye family, and went back to Lushan with him.Lin Shao nodded repeatedly, and after sending the old man away, he performed lightness kung fu and chased to the east.

At this time, the three men in black rode fast horses and galloped towards the east.The leading man had dark skin and said, "There are only six of them this time, and they all have no martial arts. Let's catch up and tie up Ye Yun, and get rid of the rest, so as not to cause trouble."

After falling half a horse, the man with a scar on his face said: "Just tie someone up and trouble us to go out three times. Ye Yun is the same. If Master Zhang likes him, he will follow. If you offend Master Zhang, you can have a good life." Yes? That's what happened to his father."

Another skinny man asked a little puzzled: "The Ye family can't do anything bad now, and the few remaining people are going to be exterminated?"

The scarred man let out a "chi" laugh: "Yo, have you become a bodhisattva today?" The thin man ignored his sarcasm, but said: "Since the prime minister has begged for him, Master Zhang is still ordering you!" Are we not afraid of offending the prime minister if we go to kill people to silence them?"

The man with the scar said disdainfully: "The prime minister can still protect his Ye family for the rest of his life? If you offend someone first, you must take revenge if you have a grudge. For the sake of political achievements, Ye Shen dared to join Mr. Zhang. Who doesn't know that Mr. Zhang won the sacred heart?" Didn't you say that you copied Master Zhang's godson's house last time? There are so many new and old grudges, Ye Shen is dead but his son is not dead yet, the father's debt is paid by the son, if you don't tie him up, who will you tie up? Done This errand, I still worry about not having us..."

The leading man interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, save your energy and finish things early, and you can go to Liuxiang to hug the beauty and have a few drinks after you finish your errands. What nonsense are you doing here?" Pumped on the horse's rump.

It took only a cup of tea to catch up with the two black horse-drawn carriages. The carriages stopped at the edge of the forest to rest, and the driver scooped water from the river to feed the horses.The three men in black got off their horses and held their knives, and walked towards the two carriages quietly with gestures, planning to take down these helpless people in one fell swoop by taking advantage of their unpreparedness.

Unexpectedly, when they were only 200 meters away from the carriage, they suddenly heard a few winds coming from behind, and before they could turn their heads, the three of them felt a numbness in the back of their necks, their eyes darkened, and they fell down limply.

And the uber-car, which had had enough rest, kicked up a cloud of dust, and went on the road unconsciously.

When the three people woke up with disfigured faces, they looked at each other, and they all knew that someone had hit the acupuncture point with a hidden weapon.The three of them grew up in a bandit's den, and learned the skills of robbing their homes. Later, they took refuge in Mr. Zhang, specializing in making hookups for these rich and powerful families.Who would have expected that this time it was just to tie up a frail scholar, but he stumbled.It was getting late at this time, and the three of them were uncertain, so they had to go back first to report to their orders.

Mr. Zhang sat in front of the case, listening to the three people's reply.Half of the face was reflected by the candlelight, and half of the face was hidden in the darkness. He sneered and said, "You are famous tigers, leopards and wolves. Don't you claim to be clean and quick and never fail? If this news gets out today... "

After hearing this, Qianbao with a scarred face thought that if he lost this protection, his former enemies would surely come to him, and he quickly promised, "Don't worry, my lord, let alone Mr. Ye, it is the master who plotted against us." , the three of us will also find it for you and get rid of it."

Only then did Lord Zhang wave his hand to let them go down, but he dropped a tea cup behind no one, thinking: "You little bastard who doesn't know what to do, should have tied people up long ago, and he didn't do it because he was concerned about the prime minister's face." Started, but lost the opportunity."

If you want to talk about how Master Ye and Master Zhang got into a grudge, at first it was just a court dispute, but one day Master Ye advised Liu Weiwei to connive at his servants hurting people and rob people's property on the streets of the busy city, and he should be punished heavily.

Then Liu Weiwei happened to be Lord Zhang's godson.Who knows that Liu Weiwei was originally the illegitimate son of a down and out family, because of his color, he caught up with Mr. Zhang's east wind and made great progress, doing all kinds of evil.Everyone tacitly declared that Mr. Zhang is a masculine man, so they naturally knew that this godson was not that simple, because they were afraid of Mr. Zhang's high status and power and dared not speak too much.

And Ye Shen Ye-sama is upright and upright, with a literati integrity that he doesn't want to bow down to serve the powerful.Naturally, he offended Lord Zhang and was charged with framing Zhongliang.

Fortunately, the prime minister worked hard for him, and he was spared the death penalty and only dismissed from office.It's just that Mr. Ye's literati nature can't bear such a big grievance. He usually laughs at Yan Yan's colleagues who will turn against him, and fears that his wife at home will be hurt. He is depressed and depressed in his heart, but he fell ill in prison within three or five days. By the day he was released from prison, he had already vented more gas than breathed in.

When Mr. Ye went west, rumors came from somewhere in the court that Ye Shen held a special ledger. He remembered that it was all about corruption and bribery by officials ordered by the court, and Mr. Zhang was naturally the first to bear the brunt.Rumors spread everywhere, and those guilty officials were uneasy.

The Ye family had only Ye Yun as an only son. Because she was weak when she was a child, Mrs. Ye doted on her very much. She usually didn't worry about big or small things in the family, and didn't know much about world affairs.His character is also stupid, but he has a good skin. The 17-year-old boy is like a peach blossom in early spring, growing in a misty valley.

Ye Shen's funeral was sloppy and deserted, but a few old friends with deep friendship came to see him off.On the contrary, Mr. Zhang brought his proud godson to the mourning hall with a look of regret on his face, muttering: "Mr. Ye has devoted himself to the country and the people, but there is no holiday..." A pair of inverted triangle eyes are not I was idle, and looked at the young man who was kneeling beside him burning paper, his face was pale and colorless, and his pair of peach blossom eyes filled with half a pool of clear water, embedded with two black stones. Son, indescribably seductive.

Master Zhang's heart was moved, and he pretended to be close to the young man: "Nephew Ye Xian's condolences are changing. It is said that people go like a river, and they will never return. If Nephew Ye Xian is in trouble, Zhang will do his best to help."

Although Ye Yun is ignorant of worldly affairs, he also understands that the old fox's words imply a ghost.After politely sending Master Zhang away, he discussed with Madam Ye about moving back to his ancestral home.

The Ye family's ancestral home was in Juren Village in Nanyang County.Juren Village is located next to a Baihe River. It was originally named Baihe Village. Later, because the Ye family in the village won two Juren in a row, and the neighbors were honored, they changed their name to Juren Village.Although the Ye family has moved to Xijing for several years, the ancestral house in Juren Village has a few acres of thin land but it has not been abandoned, and there are still a few loyal servants taking care of it.
