It seems that there is no need to inquire about the remaining hundreds of families one by one.

The sudden influx of people has been enough to become Xue Huaiyuan's witness. When these people heard Jiang Li say that they would enter Yanjing city to overturn Xue Huaiyuan's case, they all expressed their willingness to go together. This time, there was no need to worry about whether there were enough people as before.

Ye Mingyu was so happy that he patted his chest to ensure that he would be the only one to go to Beijing. Tong'er and Bai Xue were also very happy. Ye Mingyu got empty for Jiang Li and said, "ah Li, now we have completed the task in advance? What can we do?"

"There are so many people, and Feng Yutang's troops have been broken by more than half. The unarmed people have long had deep resentment against Feng Yutang, and it's time to let them out of anger. Sooner or later, the punishment order of Xiangyang will be shaken down. Since Feng Yutang likes to dominate Tongxiang, this time, let him taste what it feels like to be dominated by others. Uncle, take these people to the county yamen, and we'll sing a play called 'tying officials to the Palace'."

"I've only heard of 'tying a son to the temple', but I haven't heard of 'tying an official to the temple'." Ye Mingyu was happy.

"I haven't seen it either, so I need to have a good look. It's not too late. I think Feng Yutang got the news of this end and will plan to run away. He can't be allowed to run away, so he has to be arrested. Rest assured that when Tong Zhiyang's order comes, Xue Xiancheng can be released from prison and the detainee can go to Beijing."

Ye Mingyu heard the words and shouted "good". What he likes most is to do things like this. These days, he can be bent to death. Now he can finally raise his eyebrows and catch Feng Yutang, who has long been very unpleasant to his eyes, which is really a good thing!

"Go, go, go!" Ye Mingyu couldn't wait to say.

……

The county yamen is quiet today.

Feng Yutang sat in the room, waiting for someone to deliver his salute.

He couldn't leave the mansion. Because of this escape, he knew that it was dangerous all the way, so he didn't even bring his favorite concubine. I only brought the gold and silver treasures that I searched when I was a parent official in Tongxiang these years. If the servants of his mansion and the concubines found out that he rolled up his bags and ran away, they would make trouble. At that time, Jiang Li and his party would be disturbed, and he would not be able to leave if he wanted to.

When Feng Yutang learned yesterday that Jiang Li was asking Tongxiang people whether they were willing to be witnesses, he knew what Jiang Li was up to. No wonder, no wonder Jiang Li's men can quietly solve Princess Yongning's killer, but they won't touch her finger. Now think about it, since Jiang Li is not even afraid of Princess Yongning, how can she be afraid of such a small role as him. Keeping him and refusing to kill him is to save Xue Huaiyuan!

Only when he is alive and retries the case for Xue Huaiyuan, will he help Xue Huaiyuan clear his grievances with his crimes!

When he figured it out, Feng Yutang was anxious and hated. He was driven out of the county yamen by Xue Huaiyuan, and his heart hated Xue Huaiyuan's merciless practice. Later, Feng Shui took turns. Who let Xue Huaiyuan offend Princess Yongning? Xue Huaiyuan nodded when he was in prison. He didn't less order the prison head to serve Xue Huaiyuan "well". At present, the spring breeze is proud, but on the way, he suddenly killed a first and second daughter, and he has to rehabilitate Xue Huaiyuan, and is about to succeed.

Xue Huaiyuan is really his natural nemesis!

Jiang Li hit on this idea, but Feng Yutang was unwilling to do so. Xue Huaiyuan is now a disabled person. He has lost his mind. He has made great sacrifices for such a disabled person. And once you want to overturn the case for Xue Huaiyuan, the person who replaces Xue Huaiyuan is yourself. Although Princess Yongning is her own master, she will never fight for such a small person as him.

Jiang Li is right in saying that immortals fight and kids suffer. He knows himself clearly. He is not an immortal, but a kid who may suffer at any time, so he has to find his own way. He can't stop Jiang Li from overturning the case for Xue Huaiyuan. If he fails his errand, Princess Yongning can destroy his vitality at any time and offend Jiang Yuanbai's daughter. When will it be better if he doesn't leave now? Therefore, Feng Yutang went to the county yamen early this morning. All the boxes he brought were here. He took a few confidants and hurried on his way just waiting for the carriage to pick him up.

When Jiang Li found a witness willing to testify, seven days later, he would have left far away. As for how Jiang Li and Princess Yongning fight, let them go. He has run away, and everything has nothing to do with him!

While thinking about this, Feng Yutang suddenly heard some movement outside. He was refreshed. He immediately stood up from the stool and ordered his confidants to hurry to carry the boxes containing silver tickets and antiques. He took the lead to walk outside the door, while dissatisfied, "what if someone finds out that the movement is smaller?"

Just after saying this, Feng Yutang happened to walk to the gate of the county yamen. His voice quickly disappeared and he was stunned.

Standing in front of him were ye Mingyu and Jiang Li.

"Lord Feng." Jiang Li smiled at him.

Ye Mingyu reluctantly returned a smile, and his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy. Jiang Li smiled gently, and even ye Mingyu smiled meaningfully at him. This strange man like a bandit has always been cold to him. When was there such a friendly time?

"Miss Jiang er." Ye Mingyu hid the look in his heart, asked Jiang Li, and said, "what's the matter with you two coming to the officer so early?"

This attitude is quite different from that of the first day when Jiang Li was vigorous. A trace of contempt flashed in Ye Mingyu's eyes. It was such a thing that he stepped on low and held high. He felt dirty when he looked at it more.

Jiang Li didn't answer Feng Yutang's words, but looked behind him over Feng Yutang and said strangely, "why did Lord Feng carry so many boxes? This is to go far?"

Feng Yutang "cluttered" in his heart, hurried back, motioned with his eyes to his men to move the box back, and said with a smile, "how can it be? These are all things taken out before, and they are about to be taken back."

"I see." Jiang Li smiled, "that's good. I thought Lord Feng was going to go far away. I was a little embarrassed just now. If Lord Feng went far away, it would be difficult in the future. I still want to ask Lord Feng for help."

Jiang Li looked warm and gentle, but Feng Yutang knew in his heart that this little beauty was not as kind as she looked on the surface. When he heard that Jiang Li had something to ask for help, he not only didn't feel better, but also broke out in a cold sweat and tentatively asked, "what does the second young lady want to ask the officer to help?"

"It's very simple." Jiang Li wrote lightly, "that is to ask Lord Feng to accompany me back to Yanjing and go to Dali temple to testify on the case of Xue Xiancheng."

Feng Yutang stood where he was.

Jiang Li looked at her quietly. Her eyes were too calm, but Feng Yutang could see the sneer inside.

He said, "what a joke is this, miss two..."

"I don't like to joke." Jiang Li shook her head.

Feng Yutang's heart suddenly filled with a sense of humiliation. Jiang Li's petite body blocked his eyes, as if it blocked his way. He can't wait to rush up and wring Jiang Li's neck to fight a bloody life again. But he dared not. Ye Mingyu stood next to Jiang Li, and his big knife pinned to his waist was still emitting cold.

"Does the second young lady have to do this?"

Jiang Li nodded with a smile.

The more gentle she is, the more angry Feng Yutang is. His anger rose from his heart to his courage, and he suddenly asked, "what if the lower officials refuse?"

"No?" Jiang Li's smile slowly put away, looked at him expressionless, and said coldly, "I'm afraid I can't tolerate Lord Feng's refusal."

Feng Yutang refused to show weakness: "Miss Jiang Er is pressing too hard. Is she going to kill me?"

"This has nothing to do with me." Jiang Li shook her head, "it's them who won't let you go." She leaned aside slightly.

Feng Yutang saw it.

Behind Jiang Li, outside the county yamen gate blocked by Ye Mingyu's guard, there were all the people of Tongxiang standing closely. They didn't know how long they had been standing here, so they quietly looked at Feng Yutang. His eyes were full of anger and excitement. It seemed that if Jiang Li hadn't been here, they would have rushed in and killed Feng Yutang to vent their anger.

"Look." Jiang Li smiled.

Feng Yutang shook his body and stepped back involuntarily. He shook his head and murmured, "impossible..."

When those people came back to report yesterday, they said that for several days in a row, Jiang Li and ye Mingyu went door-to-door to ask Tongxiang people, and only three people were found. Among the people of more than 500 households in Tongxiang, it was not many to find three people. Feng Yutang was still complacent at that time. He had a high prestige among the people of Tongxiang. Even if he was the first assistant daughter, no one dared to talk nonsense. Because of this, Feng Yutang believes that it will take at least a few days for Jiang Li to gather enough people willing to testify.

How could so many Tongxiang people follow her in a short night? What happened? What did she say to the people of Tongxiang?

"Feng Yutang!" A young man said sadly and angrily, "you kidnapped my sister to be your concubine, and she died within three days after entering your mansion. Return my sister!"

"He's an animal. He robbed our shop. My mother was angry and died in the house!"

"He colluded with the bully and robbed three curios of our family!"

"Feng Yutang!"

The complaints rang through the sky in front of Tongxiang County Yamen.

During his tenure, Feng Yutang bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil. The people of Tongxiang had been tolerant for a long time. Now, it broke out and scared Feng Yutang back again and again. He tried to show his former authority, but in the end, he was not confident enough. He just shouted, "what are you doing? Are you going to rebel?"

The answer to him was the more boisterous roar of the people.

In the noise, Jiang Li's voice was particularly clear. She said, "Lord Feng, if you do more injustice, you will die. It's not the time to report it. Now, it's your time."

Feng Yutang looked at her for a few moments, suddenly turned around and ran!

He knew that Jiang Li was right. They were numerous and powerful. If in the past, he could still let his men fight, but they were unarmed pariahs. Where could he be more powerful? However, most of his men who went after Jiang Li these days have died, and the rest is not enough. These Untouchables revolt at this time, and his men can't miss it!

Escape? Where can we escape?

Jiang Li looked coldly at Feng Yutang's fleeing figure, waved her hand and said, "if Lord Feng wants to run, please help and 'please' Lord Feng back."

As soon as the words fell, "boom", the people who had already complained about Feng Yutang immediately rushed up and chased Feng Yutang away. Together with Feng Yutang's men, they were all beaten by these people, who either held long sticks or dustpans, unable to withstand and repeatedly begged for mercy. Jiang Li let Ye Mingyu's guard watch. She wanted to let these people vent, but she had to ensure that Feng Yutang couldn't escape.

In Tongxiang county yamen, not so many people have appeared for a long time. Since Feng Yutang took office, the county yamen here are all places where bullies and rich people love to come. As long as they have money, they can do things. When people came to the county yamen, they were all the people who were full of blood and tears and were trapped. Over time, the county yamen is a magic cave, which is a fact that everyone in Tongxiang knows.

But a few days after Miss Jiang Er came to Tongxiang, the people reappeared in the county government. This time, it is not "officials bullying the people", but "officials forcing the people to rebel".

Ye Mingyu looked at Feng Yutang, who was being viciously hit on the head with a shoulder pole by a woman. He laughed happily. He greeted Jiang Li and looked at it, saying, "that bastard has also tasted being slaughtered now."

Jiang Li smiled faintly, "karma."

Although Feng Yutang is Princess Yongning's minion and acts according to Princess Yongning's orders, his father will become insane and suffer inhuman torture in prison, which has nothing to do with Feng Yutang. After doing these things, Feng Yutang still wants to get away. What Feng Yutang thinks is too beautiful.

She will let Feng Yutang and Princess Yongning do more for what she has done and regret it all her life.

Jiang Li said to Ye Mingyu, "Uncle Mingyu, let someone Tie Feng Yutang up. Don't let him slip away. Take care of him."

Ye Mingyu nodded, looked at Jiang Li and turned to go, and asked Jiang Li, "ah Li, where are you going?"

Jiang Li said, "in prison, Feng Yutang has lost his power. The jailer has already run away when he learned the news. Now he will go to see Xue Xiancheng, and there will be no obstruction." She smiled: "I think there are many prisoners in Tongxiang prison who have been wronged like Xue Xiancheng. I want to release them all. It's time to change the world of Tongxiang."

……

The people who finally went to prison with Jiang Li were ye Mingyu's little boy a Shun and butcher Zhang.

Although the news was that the prison head had escaped, ye Mingyu still asked Jiang Li to take a few people as a precaution. He had to look at Feng Yutang himself, lest Feng Yutang get the chance to escape.

At the door of the prison, there were messy footsteps on the ground. Presumably, it was the footprints left by those prison guards when they got the news of Feng Yutang's accident temporarily and left in a panic. There is still some scattered silver on the ground, but ye Mingyu has also sent some people and Tongxiang people to block the gate of the city. If anyone wants to escape from the city, they will be stopped by them.

A Shun stood at the door, lit a torch with butcher Zhang, and stretched out his head to look inside. The prison was gloomy. All the torches were extinguished, and some of them could not be seen clearly. Lest Jiang Li didn't see the steps on the ground fall, Ah Shun was about to remind Jiang Li to be careful, when he saw that Jiang Li didn't even pick up the torch and walked down by himself.

Shun: "...."

When he was young, Xue Huaiyuan didn't allow him and Xue Zhao to come to the prison. But every time Xue Zhao sneaked him in, the jailer knew that they were Xue Huaiyuan's children, that children were playful, and that they wouldn't do anything, so he turned a blind eye. Jiang Li is no stranger to the prison. Some of the people in prison are really ferocious, while others are forced by life to commit crimes. But one thing is the same. All the people inside are sinners.

When Xue Huaiyuan came, he always wore washed white official clothes. He once rescued butcher Zhang, who had been wrongly imprisoned, and sent the really guilty villains at large.

Jiang Li never thought that one day, she would see her father's shadow in prison, among people wearing prison clothes.

Fortunately, the torches in the prison were all extinguished, and the torches in butcher Zhang and Ah Shun's hands were not enough to let people see her blurred eyes. She walked slowly with each step, and seemed to be afraid of falling down and careful, but only Jiang Li knew that her hands were trembling slightly.

She is afraid.

She was afraid to see such a father. She was afraid that from childhood to adulthood, it was her and Xue Zhao's sky, Xue Zhao's big tree, and her indomitable father, who curled up in a ball, and lost her past lucidity and memory in the dark.

A Shun's torch lit up the faces of the people in the cell from room to room, and the cries of injustice suddenly rang out. I don't know how many unjust cases Feng Yutang has handled. Once he saw strangers coming, the cries of injustice in the prison all rang out at the same time. But more people just looked up at them indifferently, as if they had lost all their vitality for the future - these are tortured people who have refused to believe in hope.

No, no, No. Jiang Li looked over one by one. Those who lacked arms and legs would be a little relieved to see that they were not their father, and then they would be more urgent. Why hadn't they seen him?

Until the last one.

Ah Shun's torch had arrived in front of the prison door, but the people inside shrank in the corner. They didn't know whether they were sleeping or lying. They always turned their backs to Jiang Li and refused to look back. Ah Shun subconsciously glanced at Jiang Li. He hadn't seen Xue Huaiyuan and didn't know what Xue Huaiyuan looked like. Butcher Zhang knew. But every time butcher Zhang didn't recognize it, Jiang Li shook her head faster than butcher Zhang.

No one would doubt that Jiang Li also knew Xue Huaiyuan. She is even more familiar with Xue Huaiyuan than butcher Zhang, so she can judge whether the person inside is Xue Huaiyuan at the first time.

Ah Shun looked at Jiang Li, and saw that Jiang Li suddenly grabbed the prison door, and his expression became trance.

He was refreshed and knew Jiang Li's expression. There was no doubt that this person was Xue Huaiyuan. He quickly took out the cell key - which he saw falling on the ground at the door.

The prison door suddenly opened.

Butcher Zhang was still hesitating. Although he knew Xue Huaiyuan, he never turned around and couldn't see his face. He was really unsure. Although I don't know why ah Shun only glanced at Miss Jiang ER and opened the prison door, butcher Zhang was thinking of going in first to have a look. If it weren't for Xue Huaiyuan, he would hurt Miss Jiang er. Seeing that the girl could hardly bear it, she quickly entered it.

Butcher Zhang and Ah Shun were stunned. Ah Shun said, "Hey, Miss Biao, your torch..."

Under the dim torch light, Jiang Li saw the figure sitting alone in the corner of the prison door, his head knocked on the stone wall, and his hair was messy. That great, tall figure, I do not know when it became so rickety, thin and small. Her brain "hummed", her knees softened and she knelt down.

Ah Shun was so surprised that he almost wanted to scream out. He was pulled by butcher Zhang nearby, and he swallowed the scream in his throat. But I still don't understand in my heart. There is gold under the man's knee, and miss Biao is not a man. Kneeling naturally doesn't need to be precious, but it's either that Xue Huaiyuan and miss Biao are old friends or that there is any connection. It's really incredible that Miss Biao knelt down for each other like this.

What's worth it? Did miss Biao suddenly kneel down, or did miss Biao walk with uncomfortable knees and fall down?

But soon Ah Shun denied his conjecture. He watched Jiang Li stretch out her hand, hold the dirty prisoner, and slowly turned him around, revealing his whole face.

Butcher Zhang and Ah Shun both stared.

It was a thin face that could hardly be called "human". The whole face was thin with sunken cheeks, high cheekbones, and the body held by Jiang Li was even skinny. It's not that a Shun has never seen prisoners. Most of the prisoners are ferocious, with sharp nosed monkeys, and some look embarrassed, but none of them is as shocking as the people in front of them.

His hair was all white, a piece of snow-white. At a glance, he thought it was the snow of Tongxiang covering people's heads. However, the whiter the hair, the darker the body. It seemed that the candle was about to be extinguished, and it was about to be blown out with one breath.

Butcher Zhang murmured, "Lord Xue..."

Ah Shun subconsciously looked at butcher Zhang, such a surprisingly thin old man who seemed to be dying, that is, the Xue county mayor who was said to be very strong and bright?

Is Xue Xiancheng so down and out? You know, no one who sees the prisoner in front of him will doubt that the prisoner will die soon.

Is Miss Biao afraid to see such a person? Ah Shun thought so. Then he saw Jiang Li stretch out her hand and slowly pull up Xue Huaiyuan's sleeve.

With his back to himself, a Shun couldn't see Jiang Li's expression. He just felt that the young lady's quilt was a, which looked particularly painful, like a beast suppressing the wound, whimpering and licking the blood that kept flowing. Drop by drop, it can't flow out.

At the moment when his sleeve was rolled up, butcher Zhang beside him took a low breath.

The faint light of the fire could not hide the scars on the poor old man. Those scars were like whip wounds, knife wounds, or burns caused by a red hot iron stabbing on people's skin. Those wounds are piled up, old wounds are not healed, new wounds are added, some wounds have been purulent, emitting bursts of stench, and maggots climb slowly at the wound. Ah Shun looked a little sick and his chest was stuffy.

His psychology was only timid about Feng Yutang's means.

You know, even death row prisoners do not have to accept such punishment. This is to die rather than live, and refuse to give each other a pleasure. Jiang Li only pulled up one sleeve, revealing one arm of the other party. One arm is still like this. It is conceivable that how long will the same scar on Xue Huaiyuan's body last?

In such a dark prison, he has been subjected to heavy punishment all day long. He can't live or die. No wonder Xue Huaiyuan is crazy. Ah Shun even felt that if Jiang Li didn't come to rescue the adult after a few days of punishment, it might also be a relief for Xue Xiancheng.

Such a day is really too hard, too hard.

At the same time, he wondered in his heart, how long can Xue Xiancheng survive after being rescued? Even if you barely survive, if you lose your mind, everything is lost. What's the significance of living like a walking corpse?

Just thinking of this, a low howl suddenly sounded in the prison.

A Shun was startled. He looked along the sound, but was surprised to find that it was no one else who made the sound. It was really miss Biao Jiang Li.

The young lady, who always likes to smile gently and calmly, can be serious in the face of crazy crowds in Lizheng hall, knelt on her legs, made a sad and happy voice from her throat, slowly bent down, hugged Xue Huaiyuan's shoulder, and burst into tears.

Ah Shun was stunned, and butcher Zhang didn't speak. In that prison, in the original large and small cells, the voices of shouting grievances around because of their arrival suddenly quieted down. Only girls' cries can be heard.

The cry seemed to be infected. In the dark prison, it shook in the faint lights, such as tasting the joys and sorrows after many years of life, and suddenly getting a chance to come back, crying with joy, or standing before the rolling Yangtze River, the dead time can't come back, and the sadness of missing things in the world.

Let people hear sad, let people hear sad.

The girl was not afraid of the stench and maggots on the prisoner. She hugged him tightly, like a little lost girl in the crowd. Finally, she saw her father, grabbed this straw, and began to cry freely.

Jiang Li was in great mourning.

Xue Huaiyuan is not a few years older than Jiang Yuanbai. In the past, Xue Huaiyuan was also a green bamboo forest. Although he was not as elegant as Jiang Yuanbai, he had his own character. The tall father, now so old, so fast, is not old enough to know his destiny, but his hair is all white. If it weren't for the great blow, why did it happen?

His body is full of scars. Jiang Li's heart is like a knife when she thinks of those difficult days. If she returned to Tongxiang faster when she became Jiang Li, would her father suffer less torture? Or I didn't provoke Shen Yurong at the beginning. Without Princess Yongning, I could stay in Tongxiang and grow old peacefully with Xue Zhao's father.

The world makes people laugh and applaud.

The bones of the people under him are so fierce that they seem to have no flesh but bones. Feng Yutang only gave Xue Huaiyuan a little food, which made him suffer from hunger and cold.

Suddenly, in the pain of Jiang Li, a weak voice sounded, as mild as a dream.

"Ali?"
