Chapter Seven Yamen Soldiers Arrived

"Mommy, that's my sister and the others who are cremating the souls of the dead. The new emperor's enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, and these corpses are not allowed to leave the villa for burial, even if they are thrown into mass graves. The cremation method was thought up by my sister, isn't it?

Very smart."

"Jing'er, of course your sister is the smartest, and she can't be compared to ordinary villagers. Alas! It's not easy to live in troubled times."

"Mommy, are you very hungry? Jing'er will give your grandma hot meals after we go back. My sister made a lot of them at noon." Ye Jing couldn't understand what his grandma was saying. He remembered that he came out of the dark hole and his hungry stomach was beating.

Quickly comforted.

"Good boy, learn from your cousin from now on. You two are the masters of the Sixth Courtyard."

"Mommy, sister, do you want to leave our house?"

"Jing'er, your sister will marry into her husband's family after passing the 28th grade."

"Oh, grandma is right, my sister is going to get married." Ye Jing was a little disappointed.

In the evening, the fire at the gate of the villa got bigger and bigger. The north wind blew away the thick smoke, but it could not blow away the resentment lingering in the hearts of the orphans and widowed mothers. The smell of burning flesh and blood from more than a thousand corpses filled every room.

From my personal senses, I can feel the liquid rising in my stomach through the face towel.

Not long ago, he was the mainstay of the family, his mother's son, his wife's husband and the father of his children. In an instant, he lost his life in vain because of the preferences of the nobles. Not even a piece of loess could cover it. The orphans, widows and elderly parents were left behind, and they were desolate.

The villa and the weeping courtyard.

When the corpses were piled together, there was still a trace of thought. Now the bones have turned into ashes, and the grievances linger in the air for a long time. They look down at the river of tears with howls. The resentment condensed in the heart rushes out of the chest and turns into a cry.

"Grandson, grow up quickly and avenge your father and uncle."

"Son, learn Kung Fu well and kill all the stupid officials and ruthless people..."

"Children, it's up to you to revive the villa."

...The women were crying and shouting to vent. Suddenly, the door of the villa was banged, and chaotic footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Open the villa's door, and the owner of Qi's Villa will come out and give you a reply."

"The Master of Yuqing Villa is in serious trouble. The Yamen soldiers are here." Village residents near the gate shouted in panic.

"It's quite effective. I thought I would come here after dawn. Ye Xuan, Zhen'er and the owner of the village are going to meet the Yamen soldiers." Yu Qing said without panic.

"Grandpa, old doctor, you stay here. My aunts and uncles have prepared clay pots to put the ashes in when they are cold." Ye Xuan said, looking at the banging door of the village that was smashed.

"Don't panic. There are three of us sisters. We will never let them disturb the souls of the deceased. We will pick up large pieces of bones later and scatter the remaining ashes into the farmland of the villa to let the souls of our relatives

May we have good weather and good harvests every year." Ye Zhen'er also said.

So awesome! God can't bear to help me, Ye Yuqing. These two assistants did a good job. Ye Yuqing thought happily and took the lead towards the gate of the villa.

"Master Yuqing Villa, the fire must have attracted the court dog, but we don't need to be afraid. The laws of the Dayan Kingdom stipulate that the villas are privately owned. This is our Qi family's own place, with a history of more than a hundred years.

If it weren't for the weakness and incompetence of the former owner of the villa, so many people would not have died in our villa." Ye Xuan said as she walked away.

"Sister Ye Xuan, they are right no matter what the word "official" means. The key point is that there are no villagers in our villa. Yanwai Castle dared to challenge the imperial court because their villagers and horses are strong, and the new and new emperors are still

We have to rely on them."

"Zhen'er, Yanwai Castle is a branch of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom. This is the most important thing. More people died at Yuanwai Villa. I heard that many women were driven to the hunting grounds later."

"Xuan Ye, so we have a backstage in the palace, right? Otherwise there would be very few women left in our villa. Where did you hear this news?" Ye Yuqing asked thoughtfully.

"Master Yuqing, Xuan'er is not hiding from you and Zhen'er. There is a man in our third courtyard who works in the palace. He is also destined to be with the right master. The new emperor is his master.

The tide has also risen, and every month when you come back for a rest, you can tell us about things in the palace. Alas, my father and the others couldn't escape this time, and I don't know if he can come back to the villa."

"Bang bang bang, why haven't you opened the gate yet? We can smash it down." As soon as the three sisters said this, the yamen soldiers outside couldn't wait any longer.

"Master, haven't you been breaking down the door all the time?" Yuqing said from inside the door.

"It's a woman. We don't deal with women. Let's ask your owner to come out and give us a reply."

"Master, our former owner of the village can't come out. He is dead. I, Miss Ye Yuqing, is the current owner of the village. Do you still want to talk to us, sir? The women and children who are still alive in Qishi Villa died a few days ago.

If the flames of the cremation disturbed the official, I, the owner of the village, would like to apologize. Since the deceased is a big man, the official will not care about the dead person." Yuqing said, opening the heavy door of the villa.

"I don't know that the new emperor's enthronement ceremony has not been held yet, and no one is allowed to take care of official affairs. Hey, you are the new owner of the village. There is really no one in your villa. Let's find a little girl to be the owner of the village." The door opened.

The yamen soldiers outside saw Ye Yuqing and the three girls and couldn't help but ridicule them.

"Well, the official said, the oldest man alive in our villa is less than ten years old, and the women have to be taken care of by the court. So we became the principals of the villa. The court is busy with things.

It's so big that the villa can't be without its owner, otherwise it will delay the court's affairs." Yu Qing stood at the front and said without being humble or arrogant.

"Smart little girl, you can burn the corpse, but will the smoke from the burning spread the corpse poison? If your actions cause a plague in the imperial city, you won't be afraid of being beheaded."

"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Even if the smoke produced by burning contains corpse poison, the poison is still for the birds in the sky. Isn't it true that I still have jurisdiction over the birds?"

"Quia! Make way for us to go in and have a look."

"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. You can just watch from a distance. I haven't seen that everyone in the villa is wearing a face towel, just to block the smell of the smoke. Originally, the villa was blocked by the wall, and the smoke rose.

It was blown away by the wind, and the official banged the door anxiously, and we had no choice but to open a passage for the smoke. If the official is not afraid of the smell in the smoke, just go in and have a look. As for the souls of the deceased, we will not

Don’t care. People cannot be resurrected after death, but the living are the most important.”

Yu Qingli spoke openly, hearing that a group of Yamen soldiers were at a disadvantage when they entered the door. He couldn't help but look at the three girls whose faces were also covered by scarves. Then he turned his eyes to the Yamen soldiers.

TouTou.

"No matter what you enter, you can smell the fishy smell outside, and it is clear from the gate. Who is the new owner of the village? This is a document just issued by the imperial court. Can you find a literate man to read it to you? The affairs of the imperial court cannot be

delay."

"A literate man..." Ye Xuan was too scared to speak just now, but now she took it confidently, but she was interrupted by Ye Yuqing in the middle of her sentence.

"Literate men are also children. I wonder if they can understand all the words on this." Ye Yuqing took the notice written on a large piece of paper, unfolded it, and said.

"That village owner, you took the notice upside down, you little girls can still manage a mountain village well. Forget it, I won't bother you, the notice says about the investigation of the remnants of the rebellion.

Anyone with the surname Yan is within the scope of arrest, and those who are close to the new emperor and his best friends, and those who can read and write, must be carefully investigated."

"Master, our Qi Family Villa here is full of families with the surname Qi. There are no people with the surname Yan you mentioned." Ye Zhen'er hurriedly looked at the notice and said.

"Yes, sir, the little girl doesn't understand that the surname Yan is the surname of the country, and the new emperor is also a royal family surnamed Yan, so why should we arrest people with the surname Yan." Ye Xuan now became more courageous and asked.

"Ignorant girl, are you able to figure out the royal family? Don't give up your head. Even if you are not afraid, beheading will involve the clan."

"You are just ignorant. We are the most kind-hearted. If you dare to talk nonsense next time, you will be dragged out and beheaded." A yamen soldier pointed out.

"Yes, Mr. Guan. Let's find a kid who can read and write. Do you still want to go into the village? If you don't, we will close the door."

"Bold, are you allowed to close the door? Just open it. In special times, the court is worried that remnants of the rebel party will gather to plot rebellion. And you have a poor little girl, the owner of the village. Do you want to take him to the Yamen for inspection and see if you have any?

Are the three generations of our ancestors loyal to the new emperor?" Before Yuqing could finish her words, a group of officers and soldiers on horseback came from the imperial city, looking eagerly at the Yamen soldiers who came before, and the ones standing at the entrance of the village.

the three girls said.

"Boss, no matter what, the Royal Guards are here. It's all caused by your villa. You have to give us money to calm our shock." A Yamen soldier said in a low voice in a hurry. Yuqing looked at the people coming and snorted in a low voice.

All of a sudden, I start asking for money. I think it’s so beautiful, but it’s better to throw rocks at you.

"Where is the owner of the village? Why did you send three girls out to fool around with seductive tricks? Hey, why is there such a big smoke? What are you burning? You are not afraid of fire caused by dry weather." The leader of the Imperial Forest Army

He looked at the Yamen soldiers and the three girls and asked.

"Returning to the Royal Forest Army, the three of them are the new owners of this villa. We are conveying the content of the imperial court's announcement to them, but the three little girls who are still young are not attractive to women. We are all loyal to the new emperor.

people."

"If you don't leave even after delivering the message, it's not because you are greedy for beauty. Go to the next place." The leader of the Royal Forest Army yelled. He saw that all the Yamen soldiers were running away, and then turned to look at Ye Yuqing and the others.

"Three owners of the village, this is a new thing. Who among you three has the final say? Take a step forward and answer." As soon as the leader of the Royal Forest Army finished speaking, Ye Xuan and Ye Zhen'er hurriedly took a few steps back and turned their backs on where they were standing.

The jade in front is even more visible.

"Back to the official, my daughter Ye Yuqing is the new owner of the village, and the two of them are the assistants of the owner of the village." Yuqing looked at the imperial guard on the horse and said, without fear or panic.

"Well, I have some concentration. What's going on with all this smoke?" The leader of the Royal Forest Army looked at Ye Yuqing's question thoughtfully.

"Back to the official, we in Zhuangzi are cremating the people who died a few days ago. The new emperor's enthronement ceremony has not yet come, so we are dealing with the dead people on the spot without leaving the village. And we also close the door tightly, fearing that the smoke will be blown low.

If it spreads out, it will pollute the air. Secondly, we are afraid that the fire will disturb the surrounding neighbors. The most important thing is that we do not do nothing and do not hold memorial activities."

"We heard people crying and cursing in Zhuangzi. This is a crime of being dragged out and beheaded. It is a great disrespect to the imperial court." A guard shouted.

"My lord, I did not criticize the court. I am just educating the living women and children. My relatives are all dead, and my mother misses my son, my wife cries, and my husband misses his father. This is a human condition. If there is no crying, wouldn't we all become cold-blooded people?"

Already."

"Oh, I don't see that you, the village owner, are quite eloquent. Do you understand the notice?"

"The yamen soldiers just said a few words to us. The owner of this village also knows a few words. I don't know if I understand it correctly. I want to listen to it."
