Chapter 55: Big Trouble
The guests invited by the Zheng family to attend the funeral left when Cheng Yu came to cause trouble, and another group of them left after the King of Li and his men arrived.
Now, the only ones left in front of the tomb are those dandy young men who enjoy watching the fun and making trouble.
Among them is Yan Jia Shiyilang.
He didn't leave to watch the fun, but also to help the Zheng family teach this Li Wang a lesson! Because he just found out yesterday that his brother went to the border town to buy a tattered book from Li Wang, and she, a prince, gave it to him without saying anything.
He shamelessly asked his brother for 12,000 taels of silver!
Listen, is there a book in this world that costs ten thousand taels of silver?
I don't know what kind of drug I gave my brother, but he kept saying that the book was worth buying and was worth more than ten thousand taels of silver.
Well, that book was his brother’s favorite, so he accepted it.
Where is the glass jar? The servants said that the King of Li forced her to sell it, and asked her brother to give her food and supplies in return.
My brother directly asked someone to prepare supplies worth 5,000 taels of silver and send them to the border town according to the price of 5,000 taels that the Jin family in Weicheng paid for the treasure.
In other words, her brother went to the border town and was cheated of 15,000 taels of silver by the King of Li, who also ordered all the stewards in the family to prepare supplies for her.
She gave him a thin book and a glass jar.
What made Yan Shiyi even angrier was that King Li was so shameless as to mention his brother's casual remark "delicious" at the dinner table.
It was made into a banner with the words 'Yan Jiulang said it was delicious after eating it' written in large letters and hung in a newly opened restaurant in the border town!
When Yan Shiyi heard about this, he was furious and actually hung my name, the head of the Yan family, outside the restaurant!
But when he ran to tell Yan Jiu, Yan Jiu was not angry, but laughed:
"No wonder she kept asking me if it tasted good. So that's how it is!"
Seeing his angry face, he said sincerely: "The sweet and sour fish balls are indeed delicious."
Yan Shiyilang was certain that his brother had been deceived by King Li.
He was ready. When he took the opportunity to deliver things to the border these days, he would take people to teach King Li a lesson.
We must take down the banner hanging above the restaurant! And also grab a hundred or eighty books for my brother.
I didn't expect that when I attended the Zheng family funeral today, I would encounter this evil king causing trouble.
No one else wanted to get involved and left in a hurry.
Only Yan Shiyi and his subordinates stood beside Zheng Pengpeng to support him.
The support of the Yan family made Zheng Pengpeng more confident. If I don’t beat you up for causing trouble at someone else’s grandfather’s funeral, the Zheng family will be laughed at by the world!
Zheng Pengpeng waved his hand and said, "Come here, beat these daring and rude people out!"
Jin Sui also raised his arms and shouted: "Zheng, you dare to hurt my chief clerk, I will not forgive you today!"
Zheng Pengpeng was so angry that he jumped up and down. It was your master who came here with a sword to cause trouble! Shameless master raising a group of shameless subordinates!
Scoundrel! This Li Wang is a scoundrel! At this time, Cheng Yu spat out blood and said, "Quick, save Yunniang."
Jin Sui knew that only if she protected herself could Hei Hu, Han Xing and others be free to save others.
She drew her sword to defend herself and said to the soldiers around her, "They don't dare to touch me, go and save them!"
A short soldier squeezed into the tomb from under Heihu's arm and shouted into the dark tomb:
"Come out quickly, woman inside! The prince is here to save you!"
Cheng Yu was rescued by Han Xing, and he came over and cried out in pain, "Yun Niang, come out quickly."
The Zheng family shouted, "Quick, close the tomb door, we can't miss the time!"
In an instant, nearly a hundred guards armed with wooden sticks, spears and other weapons rushed up. Seeing that the Black Feather Army was surrounded, Jin Sui hurriedly took out the anesthetic needle he had prepared in advance.
She stabbed at the enemies around Hei Hu, knocking down a few of them. Then she shouted to Zheng Peng Peng:
"The Zheng family actually ignored Xia's law and carried out the previous dynasty's system of burying people alive with the dead. They are taking human lives lightly. Are they planning to rebel?"
Once this accusation is put on, the matter will become a big deal. After all, when it comes to burying people alive, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye unless it becomes a big deal.
If the matter gets out of hand and the imperial court sends an imperial envoy to investigate, it will be difficult to get away with it.
Generally, the young women who were buried alive were bought as slaves and their families were paid a large sum of money. No matter how they were killed, no one would seek justice for them.
It just so happened that this time, the Zheng family encountered the madman King Li, and the matter got out of hand.
Zheng Pengpeng shouted: "Chen Yun was my grandfather's concubine. She was willing to die for love. Even if you are a prince, you can't do anything about it!"
Jin Sui snorted heavily, "You have a face full of wrinkles. Your grandfather must be as old as a dead tree. How dare he let a young woman accompany him to the underworld?"
"Who the hell would love scum like you?"
"Besides, who told you that you can bury a living person as a sacrifice if you are willing?"
"I will castrate you now and tell everyone in the world that you are willing to be a eunuch, okay?"
Zheng Pengpeng was furious: "This is unreasonable and shameless! Quick, kick them out! Close the tomb door!"
More servants and thugs came in an instant, and only some female family members screamed and supported each other while retreating.
Jin Sui knew that he had fewer people than the other side, and only by capturing the thief and the leader could the chaos be quelled.
She put away the dagger, hid the anesthetic needle, and prepared to knock Zheng Pengpeng down and hold him hostage.
At this moment, she didn't even think about what consequences would arise if this matter became a big deal.
She had only one thought: she wanted to save Cheng Yu and also the woman in the tomb.
She wanted to bring all the thirty brothers who came with her back safely! She quickly got around Zheng Pengpeng like a nimble little deer from the chaotic crowd.
At this moment, this man had to look at the tomb door, confirm the time with the Taoist priest, and command the servants in chaos. He was not paying attention and let Jinsui rush to his side.
But Yan Shiyi saw it, and he suddenly jumped out and stretched out his hand to stop Jin Sui: "You are a dignified and dignified King of Li, but you actually sneak attack me!"
Jin Sui rolled his eyes and said, "Idiot, who attacked you? How about I fight you openly and squarely?"
Yan Shiyi laughed angrily, pointed at her and called her "you" for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Jin Sui had never lost a verbal battle, and he cursed: "Where did you come from? What's your relationship with this Zheng guy?"
Yan Shiyi was angry and shocked: "How come you don't know me? I am Yan's Shiyilang!"
Jinsui looked at his round face and almond eyes. If he wasn't tall enough, this baby face would look like a minor.
Your brother Yan Jiu is so handsome, why do you look so childish? If Yan Shiyi and Yan Jiu stand together, it's just like Seshomaru leading Inuyasha! Not only are there big differences in appearance, but also in personality. Yan Shiyilang doesn't have much brains at first glance.
Jin Sui said disdainfully:
"Doesn't your father know how to give names? Yan Jiulang, Yan Shiyilang, could there be another one called Twelve Niang and Thirteen Lang in your family?"
Yan Shiyi patted his chest and said, "Who said my father doesn't know how to give names? My courtesy name is Wugui, Yan Wugui!"
Jin Sui was startled at first, then he pointed at him and laughed: "Turtle, why don't you call yourself Yan Wangba!"
Yan Shiyilang was completely enraged this time, and he shouted and attacked Jin Sui: "Jun Yanqing, if you want a duel, Yan will challenge you in a duel!"
Even under such circumstances, Jinsui was still happy. It was not easy.
After being the King of Li for so long, I finally know what the King of Li is called!
If I had known that I had such a nice name as Jun Yanqing, I would not have engraved 'Li Da Wuxian' on my private seal!
