Willing to be a slave
After entering the mountain, it took another half a day to find a cave where we could live temporarily.

After the bonfire was finished, Yang Ruoqing slaughtered the hare that was hunting after the wind, removed the internal organs, and roasted it on the fire, she couldn't help but sigh a little.

Entering Beijing this time has never been smooth.

However, it is difficult for a strong dragon to overwhelm a local snake, and it is difficult for her alone to defeat the local landlords, so it is necessary to hide.

After this encounter, this local tyrant must be severely punished.

Waking up the man in black who had regained some strength, he sat on the mountain wall.

"It's time to tell you about yourself."

Yang Ruoqing thought that she had done all her kindness, she was not ambiguous in what she should say and what she should do, and it was time for the man in black to repay her kindness.

"Liu will not break his promise for what he said, Madam, don't worry about it."

"Liu's name is Liu Xueyun. He is a small official in Changle County near here. He usually takes care of the granary."

A small official in Changle County?
Yang Ruoqing was a little surprised by this identity, she thought this man was a military commander, but it turned out that he was both civil and military.

Without literacy and a certain level of mathematics, science and writing, it is impossible to be a small official.

"Master Wang, magistrate of Changle County, after I was transferred last year, I lost my backer."

"Originally, my family lived quite comfortably."

"But just a few months ago, when my wife went to a Buddhist temple to offer incense, she bumped into that beast!"

"Yuan Ke, that bastard from the Yuan family, fell in love with my wife..."

"In order to occupy my wife, frame me for embezzling and stealing food, and put me in prison..."

"My wife couldn't bear the humiliation, she threw herself into the river..."

Liu Xueyun's eyes were red, and her fingernails were firmly pinched into her flesh.

"Last night, you lit the fire in the inn?" Yang Ruoqing took a bite of the rabbit meat, and handed the other rabbit leg to Liu Xueyun.

"Eat a rabbit leg to replenish your energy. If you want revenge, you must recover quickly."

Liu Xueyun took a bite hard and chewed heavily.

"I have a friend in the county government prison. After escaping, I found out that Yuan Ke stayed in the inn last night. He wanted to set fire to him and kill him in the dark for revenge. But I didn't expect it to be a trap."

"Yuan Ke's thugs guard the courtyard. There are dozens of people. They all have sharp knives, bows and arrows, just to surround and kill me."

"Tell me again what kind of power this Yuan Ke's family is? It's so ruthless."

Yang Ruoqing stood up and said calmly.

"The Yuan family is a well-known aristocratic family in Changle County. There have been several capital officials in several generations, from the highest official to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and a scholar. They have a lot of land in the county. The patriarch of this generation, Yuan Qianshan, is also a member of the Ministry of Officials. He has a clear name, but the Yuan family's children are often misbehaving, and in Yurou Township, this Yuan Ke is the leader."

"Yuan Ke is the only son of elder brother Yuan Qianshan. Because Yuan Qianshan is also childless, this Yuan Ke has become the only son of the main house of the Yuan family in this generation, with a very high status."

Liu Xueyun said.

"Did the Yuan family not control this Yuan Ke? Since it is a family of poets and books, why do they bully men and women, regardless of reputation?"

Yang Ruoqing was puzzled.

In general, most of the people in Yurou Township are rich gentry and rich merchants, and the families of poems and books are heirs, which are famous, and they want to accumulate reputation for the children of the clan to be officials.

Don't talk about good things like repairing bridges and repairing roads. Most bad things will not be obvious.

"In front of outsiders, no one knows at all. This Yuan family is the overlord in Changle County, almost like the emperor. The reputation spread is good. I also thought about submitting a lawsuit, but who will accept it if the officials protect each other. "

"I handed in the certificate, and I was the one who was quickly taken down. I died in prison and no one would avenge me."

"You saw the wounds on my body. They beat me to death. If I was beaten to death, I would die without proof. If I was charged with stealing official food, my ancestors would have no peace in the underworld."

"Okay, I'll accept this matter, but I'll send someone to investigate, if what you say is false, don't blame me for not helping you."

Yang Ruoqing said seriously.

"I swear to God, every word from the bottom of my heart, as long as my wife avenges me, I am willing to be a slave."

"Well, let's rest for a day. When you recover from your injury, we will leave Changle County and go to the capital. On the way, you will be my follower. When I go to the capital, I will naturally solve your problem."

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and said: "Recklessness is not acceptable. If you want to trip up the Yuan family, it is Yuan Qianshan who will bear the brunt. If he does not fall, the Yuan family will not fall."

"Okay, ma'am, Liu is willing to follow." Liu Xueyun nodded.

Yang Ruoqing thought about it in her mind, Liu Xueyun's matter seemed simple, but in fact it was not easy, the Yuan family and Yuan Qianshan were members of the imperial court, even if Qi Xingyun was the emperor, it was impossible to take him down without any evidence.

And she didn't want to waste that bit of affection, and Qi Xingyun didn't owe her anything.

It is still necessary to find conclusive evidence, and all of this can only be resolved after going to the capital.

"Is there a remote road that won't be blocked when leaving Changle County?"

Yang Ruoqing said.

Official roads must be difficult to walk, and now most of them are blocked everywhere, and they can only take small roads, and people who are well-known can't walk, which is a bit troublesome.

"Crossing this mountain, you can leave the boundary of Changle County. Normally, it only takes about five days. But there are so many tigers and wolves in this mountain, it's almost impossible for ordinary people to walk through it." Liu Xueshan said.

"It's fine to climb over the mountain, then it's fine, tigers and wolves are trivial." Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"Madam is talented and bold, she is a hero among girls, so there will definitely be no problem." Liu Xueshan said.

These words came from his sincerity. On this day, he saw how powerful Yang Ruoqing was. He had never seen such a powerful woman before.

Such a woman, what kind of majestic hero can be worthy of it.

Because of this, he really wanted to see that loyal and brave uncle who was rumored to be like a god of war.

It is said that Uncle Zhongyong is invincible, he is a true hero, and being able to serve him may be an unprecedented blessing for him.

"Okay, let's set off in half an hour." Yang Ruoqing said.

Half an hour was enough for Liu Xueshan to recover his strength. His main injuries were his back and chest. After the inflammation of these wounds was suppressed, his strength would naturally recover.

Eat dry food and rabbit meat, drink enough water.

Yang Ruoqing left behind the bay red horse, and it was impossible to cross the mountain road.

Chasing the wind to open the way ahead, looking for mountain roads, hunters have broken through similar paths.

At night, the sky was dark, and the sound of tiger roars sounded in the mountains.

"There are tigers here." Liu Xueshan said.

"You should be able to chop a tiger with a machete." Yang Ruoqing looked ahead vigilantly.

Although it is not difficult to deal with tigers, it is still necessary to be vigilant. There are not only tigers in the mountains, but also various poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and the like, and sometimes those are even more terrifying than tigers.

The sachet worn by Yang Ruoqing can restrain these poisonous insects, but it cannot restrain poisonous snakes.

"brush!"

With a flash of light from the scimitar, a green snake was chopped off in the middle, and half of its body was still struggling and wriggling on the ground.

Yang Ruoqing drew out her long sword and stabbed it exactly seven inches below the green snake's head. The green snake was completely dead.

"Go, keep going, you can go at night." Yang Ruoqing said.
