[Chapter 166 Chapter 166 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (43)]
Yan Qing took a silver ingot as a reward. She smiled and said, "It's a wonderful show, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Luo Mingyan nodded.
Chen Yanshu glanced at her coldly and she shrank her neck.
In the past, whenever this man showed any displeasure, the system in her body would punish and warn him.
But now, there was no sound.
A sense of hope rose up in her heart.
Han Sheng heard the thrilling process in the play, held Yan Qing's hand, and a trace of heartache flashed in his dark eyes: "Madam, you have worked hard."
Just by listening to other people's comments, one can imagine how thrilling it was at that time. The dangers that the lady faced were probably more than just this.
Yan Qing pursed her lips and smiled lightly, tenderness in her eyes.
Chen Yanshu slammed the cup in his hand down on the table: "Ah Qing's appearance has attracted many people to look at her. Why don't you put on a veil——"
Yan Qing interrupted him and said, "In terms of appearance, you are obviously better. How can my plain appearance compare to yours?"
Her eyes were calm and her face was sincere.
"It's just a joke, you don't mind, do you? Mr. Chen."
He himself said that everyone should be treated as equals regardless of their status.
Chen Yanshu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Ah Qing is very eloquent, really interesting."
Han Sheng held Yan Qingrou's big hand and exerted a little force, and his clear eyes dimmed.
Yan Qing patted the back of his hand and gave him a soothing look.
Leaving Zecheng, her opera excerpts could be heard in teahouses in several towns along the way.
In this remote area, there are also poor women kneeling in the street to sell their daughters or even themselves.
After a little inquiry, I learned that there were more than ten people in his family.
The mother and daughter were willing to become slaves just to support the idle men in the house.
Luo Mingyan reached out to take the purse from her waist, but Yan Qing stopped her: "It's hard to cure the root cause by treating the symptoms."
"If the parasites in the house are allowed to taste the sweetness, their lives will only become more difficult." Han Sheng shared her thoughts and added in time.
Luo Mingyan nodded, looked at Yan Qing's beautiful face, and reached out to touch the veil on her face.
She took small steps towards Yan Qing.
Chen Yanshu said in a cold voice: "Just send people from the government office to the village to suppress it."
"It's easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature." Yan Qing frowned.
It was impossible to tell whether the words were referring to the men in the woman's family or to him, the emperor.
Chen Yanshu said gloomily: "Then let's take a gamble."
He was the first to rush to the county government office, followed closely by Luo Mingyan. Yan Qing and Han Sheng looked at each other and hurried over.
Several people stayed in the city for a week, but none of them saw the mother and daughter selling themselves on the street.
"It seems that I am the winner." He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qing defiantly.
Yan Qing shrugged: "Maybe."
In order to make her admit defeat, Chen Yanshu decided to lead people to investigate the village himself.
However, he discovered that the woman's husband had forced her to put up a sign at home, clearly marking a price of five cents for entering and leaving the humble courtyard.
The price of two bowls of plain noodles.
The thin and weak girl, with her several younger sisters who looked like bean sprouts, did the laundry, cooking and cleaning.
The man with his legs crossed in the courtyard put away his pipe, stepped forward with a sullen look and bowed: "I didn't know that you gentlemen would come today. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
"How dare a mere lowly person fool me?" Chen Yanshu drew out the sword of the constable at his side and stabbed it straight into his chest.
The other men knelt on the ground trembling with fear, not daring to even look at the person who died with the knife.
The woman in the room, whose underwear was disheveled, rushed out and laid on top of the man, crying: "What an injustice!"
She was full of resentment and wanted to fight the murderer to the death.
Chen Yanshu put his hands behind his back and said condescendingly: "I, I am helping you. He asked you to do such a despicable thing. Don't you hate him?"
The woman's face was distorted, and she shouted at the top of her lungs: "I only hate you! You killed my husband!"
"You are so stubborn." Chen Yanshu was about to draw his sword again, but was persuaded by Han Sheng.
Yan Qing had no expression on his face and said in a flat voice: "Master Chen, do you still think you are the winner?"
Luo Mingyan tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to provoke the angry man.
Thinking of the way Chen Yanshu killed people in the palace, a trace of fear flashed across her face under the veil.
Chen Yanshu was not as crazy as she imagined at this moment. Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Aqing wins this game."
Yan Qing ignored him. There was no talk of winning or losing.
She only knew the news that "the emperor broke into the village and killed the husband, suspected of having fallen in love with someone else's wife", which was a good card to use properly.
Glancing at the crying woman, she pursed her lips.
The world binds women into rules and regulations, turning them into sculptures that can be polished at will.
The ideological dogmas instilled in them since childhood have also taught them to despise themselves.
The matter was settled with the government stepping in to collect the remains of the woman's husband and donating some silver.
The four of them got on the carriage again and set off.
The azure sky is dotted with floating clouds that look like dragon scales or fish tails, dyeing the sky into a gradient color from light to dark.
Just at this moment, an arrow flew through the sky and hit the horse's neck.
Before the horse could even let out a long neigh, it fell to the ground lifeless.
Several men in black jumped out from the bushes on both sides of the road and pounced on Chen Yanshu and Han Sheng.
Chen Yanshu drew his sword and stepped forward to fight back. Han Sheng knew no martial arts and could only dodge instinctively.
Yan Qing and Luo Mingyan jumped off the carriage, pulled out the hairpins from their hair, and threw them at the black-clad man who was attacking Han Sheng, hitting him right in the chest.
Chen Yanshu pulled her aside and stood in front of her with a sword in hand to protect her.
But he exposed his wife to danger.
"Ah!" Luo Mingyan had only seen this scene in TV dramas. Her heels seemed to be stuck and she couldn't lift them up. She was so scared that she squatted down with her head in her hands.
When Han Sheng saw that Chen Yanshu only took Yan Qing away for protection, his cold face became serious.
If the situation wasn't urgent, he would have wanted to disregard his status and give the student a lecture.
Yan Qing cursed in a low voice, "Nervous!" Instead of protecting the powerless man, he acted like a hero saving the beauty in front of her.
She almost started to suspect that he had recruited these assassins as extras.
Chen Yanshu was still showing off his prowess when another group of people jumped out.
The dozen or so people who came later were also wearing black clothes, but the scarves covering their faces were different.
A green bamboo leaf is painted on it.
"Husband!" Yan Qing relaxed a little, walked to the carriage, picked up the sword on the ground and killed several assassins.
There was a cold light in her eyes, and every move she made towards Han Sheng was obviously fatal.
"Madam, be careful!" Han Sheng pulled Luo Mingyan's sleeve and joined her, then held her hand and hid behind Chen Yanshu.
He whispered, "Your Majesty is highly skilled in martial arts, and those who are capable should do more work. All we can do is gather together and avoid being a burden."
Luo Mingyan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Lord Zuo Xiang is right."
Yan Qing also thought it made sense.
So the three of them each picked up a knife, and went wherever Chen Yanshu went. If someone broke through, they would stab him randomly.
If he still had some room to maneuver when the group of people in front of him fought against him, the killer with a bamboo leaf mark on his face scarf who jumped out from behind showed no mercy at all.
After several chaotic battles, there was even more momentum of killing gods and killing Buddhas.
He is indeed a professional killer.
Hehehe, she has a really good taste.
