Chapter 865 I'm Not Good Enough of Her
Li Qingyan thought of Yun Changsheng.
Yun Changsheng was originally going to be sent to exile. Logically speaking, he was a prisoner of the imperial court, and harboring an imperial criminal was a serious crime.
But the people of Dafu Village don’t care about these at all.
Not only did they let Yun Changsheng stay, they also let him get married and have children here, and this lasted for several decades.
Li Qingyan thought of himself again.
After he was rescued, the people in the village neither asked why he was injured nor where he came from.
He originally thought that the people in the village were too kind and had no guard at all. Now it seems that they don’t care about his identity or background at all. Even if he is a murderer, they will still be very enthusiastic towards him.
It's really terrifying when you think about it.
Li Qingyan felt that he couldn't stay in this place for long.
He wanted to keep going.
Yun Kexin quickly grabbed his sleeve.
Li Qingyan turned around and looked at her, meeting her confused eyes. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her the truth.
"I'm not an ordinary person. I have something very important to do. I need to leave here as soon as possible. Can you help me?"
Yun Kexin opened her eyes slightly.
She thought he would stay forever like her father.
I didn't expect him to leave.
A strong feeling of loss came over me.
She pursed her lips, let go of his sleeve, and wrote on the small blackboard: Can you stay?
Li Qingyan shook his head: "No, I was attacked by bad guys before, and someone gave his life to save me. If I stay here and don't go back, it would be a waste of their sacrifice."
He paused, glanced sideways at the tiny skeletons floating in the black mud, and his voice became deeper.
"When I return, I will do my best to improve the law so that such tragedies will not happen again."
Yun Kexin also looked at the skeletons.
She was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, she heard footsteps not far away, followed by a man's shouting.
"Ke Xin, Mr. Li!"
Li Qingyan and Yun Kexin looked in the direction of the sound and saw three men walking towards them not far away.
Those three were from the village.
They quickened their pace and walked in front of Yun Kexin and Li Qingyan.
One of them said quickly, "Someone saw you coming this way just now. We didn't believe it, but we were afraid that you might get into trouble in the woods, so we came in to take a look. We didn't expect you to be here."
Another person then said, "What are you doing here for no reason? Go back now."
Li Qingyan knew that he couldn't leave today, so he could only follow them back.
Before leaving, he took a last look at the skeletons floating in the black mud.
The group returned to the village.
Because Li Qingyan went to a place he shouldn't have gone, he was taken to the village chief's house.
The village chief was an old man with a kind face.
He first taught Li Qingyan a lesson, neither lightly nor severely, and warned him not to run into the woods again, as it was not a good place.
Then he put on his smile again and asked kindly.
"When are you and Ke Xin going to do your thing?"
Li Qingyan was confused: "What happened between me and Miss Yun?"
The old village chief: "Aren't you going to get married?"
Li Qingyan was shocked and immediately denied it: "No, Miss Yun and I are innocent."
The old village chief frowned and said, "Don't you like Ke Xin? Although Ke Xin can't speak, she is pretty, well-behaved and capable, and can read and write. Many young men in the village want to marry her. Why don't you like her?"
Li Qingyan said hurriedly: "It's not that I look down on Miss Yun, Miss Yun is very good, it's just that I am not worthy of her."
He still had the task of supervising tax reform to complete, the bandits who attacked him had not been caught yet, and he had many other things to do. How could he have the time to get married?!
The old village chief laughed again when he heard this: "It's good that you don't look down on me. You don't have to be modest. You are handsome and a scholar. You are a perfect match for Ke Xin."
Li Qingyan: "That's not the case. I really don't feel like talking about this right now. How about this, you let me leave Dafu Village for a while, and when I go back and finish everything I need to do, I'll come back and ask Kexin to marry me, okay?"
To be fair, he had a good impression of Yun Kexin.
Although this girl cannot speak, she has a kind personality and is a very good woman.
And she saved his life.
He was willing to marry her and take good care of her for the rest of her life.
But now is really not the time to talk about these things.
The old village chief's smile gradually faded: "Once you come here, you can't go back."
Li Qingyan's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean by this?"
The old village chief said slowly.
"You should have heard Ke Xin talk about the things in Dafu Village, right?
We don't need to pay taxes here, nor do we need to perform military service or corvee labor. We live a very happy life here.
But if you leave here, the existence of Dafu Village will be exposed.
When the imperial court gets to know about this place, we will have to go back to our old life of chasing after dogs.
We must give away all the food we have worked so hard to grow.
I was burdened with heavy taxes all day long.
The child was unable to be raised and had to be strangled to death with great pain.
The men in the family were drafted into military service and forced labor, and never returned...
We don't want to go back to the life we had before, so you can't leave.
Anyone who comes here cannot leave."
Li Qingyan: "I can assure you that after I get out, I will never report you to the government. The court will not know of your existence, and you can continue to live your life in peace."
The old village chief: "But aren't you an official of the imperial court?"
Li Qingyan was stunned.
He never revealed his identity, so how did the old village chief know it?
The old village chief seemed to see the doubt in his heart and slowly explained: "I have seen the seal you carry with you. It is a seal that only officials of the imperial court have."
Li Qingyan subconsciously touched the purse around his waist.
Since the other party already knew his identity, he didn't need to hide it any longer.
He said in a deep voice: "It is a serious crime to detain an official appointed by the court without authorization. You don't want to get into trouble, do you?"
The old village chief said: "This place is isolated from the outside world. No one knows you are hiding in Dafu Village."
Li Qingyan: "Someone will come to find me."
The old village chief: "That depends on whether they can find this place."
Li Qingyan gritted his teeth: "What if I must leave here?"
The old village chief said expressionlessly: "You only have two choices, either stay and live with us, or die."
Li Qingyan: "How dare you kill an official appointed by the imperial court?"
The old village chief smiled and said, "To be honest, there are actually a few fugitives hiding in our village. One of them has killed someone, and the person he killed was an official appointed by the imperial court."
Li Qingyan's expression turned completely cold: "How dare you take in such a person?"
The old village chief said: "He killed a useless official who insulted his wife and daughter. He deserved to die."
…
In order to prevent my foreshadowing from being ignored by you again, I decided to knock on the blackboard here.
Dafuzhai is a very important foreshadowing, and a hidden big boss will be revealed later.
Also, I don’t have any water word count.
The reason why you feel that the plot is developing slowly is because I am advancing three plot lines at the same time.
As for why I want to write three plot lines at the same time?
Maybe it's because I live too comfortably, I want to challenge myself (commonly known as courting death), Cangsang lights a cigarette.jpg
