The heavens begin from the golden years

Chapter 416 Yuan Xudong is Back
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er raised her chin slightly and looked at the courtiers, with a haughty look on her face:

"Which Xiao family could it be? In this huge city of Tokyo, the most powerful Xiao family is the Xiao family I mentioned!"

Looking at the arrogant Zhao Pan'er, the officials did not dare to act rashly, and cautiously asked:

"Emissary Xiao?"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er nodded slightly, the official was not sure, and did not know whether what she said was true or not, and it was impossible to go to Xiao's house to confirm it. At this moment, Uncle De who was standing next to him immediately said:
"You, don't listen to their nonsense, they are all cheap women, how can they be from the Xiao family, Mr. Li, don't be fooled by them!"

As he spoke, Uncle De took out a small bag of gold and silver ingots from his sleeve and stuffed it to the official with a smile:
"My lord, please be careful, it's not respectful. The father-in-law in the palace is about to come to announce the official's will, and my family's officials are about to meet your majesty to appoint officials. I also ask the lord of the Xiangli to drive these scumbags away." Go out of the city, lest they bump into the father-in-law in the palace!"

"Good talk good talk!"

The official weighed the purse in his hand casually, smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Zhao Pan'er and the others with disdainful eyes, and said with disdain on his face:
"Bold and cunning woman, dare to bite Tan Hualang for no reason, and dare to pretend to be a member of the Xiao family. Let me ask you, what is the name of the old lady of the Xiao family? How old is she this year? What is the name of the second son of the Xiao family?"

Naturally, Zhao Pan'er and the others couldn't answer these questions. Seeing this, the officials were completely relieved, and waved their hands:

"Come on, arrest them, parade them in the streets, and drive them out of Tokyo!"

"Yes!"

A group of officials rushed towards Zhao Pan'er and the others with hemp ropes in their hands. They resisted desperately, and Sun Sanniang even made a fuss and said:
"What are you doing? What do you want to do? You dog official, accepting bribes from others and oppressing good people, is there any law under the emperor's feet?"

"Wang Fa?"

Looking at the sloppy Sun Sanniang, the official walked up to her, raised his hand and slapped her, saying:
"Diao Fu, you still dare to scold me, I will tell you what Wang Fa is, and I am Wang Fa, take me away!"

"I bother!"

After being slapped severely by the official, Sun Sanniang was held down by the officials on both sides and couldn't move, so she spit bloodshot saliva on the official's face. He frowned and said angrily:

"Take off their clothes, parade them in the streets, and drive them out of Tokyo!"

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing that those officials really wanted to strip their clothes off, Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang, and Yin Ping girl couldn't help resisting desperately, and fought with those officials.

Zhao Pan'er was kicked and fell to the ground, her forehead was cut and bleeding, Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping girl screamed in fright, and Sun Sanniang was slapped and punched several times for them, and one side of her face was swollen.

In a short while, their outer shirts were torn, and Uncle De was so excited to see them, he could not wait to strip off Zhao Paner and others' clothes and humiliate them. Zhao Paner's eyes were sad and angry. At this moment, She hated these officials who humiliated her, hated the officials in charge, hated Uncle De who brought them here, and even more hated the instigator Ouyang Xu!

At this moment, Ouyang Xu, who had been watching in the dark for a long time, came out of his yard, looked at the officials who bullied Zhao Pan'er and others, and shouted loudly:
"Stop, don't be rude!"

"Stop, stop!"

Hearing Ouyang Xu's order, the official hurriedly stopped his subordinates. He covered the right cheek scratched by Sun Sanniang, walked to Ouyang Xu and said:

"My lord, to deal with such cunning women, you have to humiliate them and embarrass them, so that they know what it means to be respectful!"

"If you embarrass them too much and damage my official reputation, save some face for them, just drive them out of the city!"

"Well, you're right, you're right!"

After talking to the officials in the chamber, seeing Zhao Pan'er sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment with a wound on her forehead, Ouyang Xu bent down, trying to reach out to help her up and said:

"Pan'er, you're fine."

Before Ouyang Xu could get close to him, Zhao Pan'er sat on the ground and took a few steps back, raised his chin slightly, without saying a word, just stared at Ouyang Xu viciously, seeing Zhao Pan'er's fierce eyes, Ouyang Xu had no choice but to say what he wanted to do. The words of concern that he said were swallowed again, he stood up, seeing the officials and the officials under him all looking at him, he couldn't help looking down at Zhao Pan'er and posing:

"Mr. Zhao, do you know your mistake? Today I want to tell you that it shouldn't be yours, so you shouldn't be greedy, and leave Tokyo from now on, otherwise, this will be your fate!"

Looking at Ouyang Xu who turned black and white, Zhao Pan'er and others could only stare at him viciously. At this moment, the official shouted:
"Come here, pull them out, parade them in the streets, and drive them out of Tokyo!"

"Go, get up!"

A group of officials pressed Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Yin Ping girl left, the servants walked in front, Zhao Pan'er was pressed and walked in the back, Ouyang Xu shouted to stop the official who was pressing Zhao Paner, and he took out from his sleeve He handed his purse to Zhao Pan'er and said:

"You take these two gold collars. I can only give you so much. Pan'er, go back to Qiantang. Tokyo is not suitable for you. I'm doing it for your own good. I'm sorry!"

"Bah~~"

Looking at the hypocritical Ouyang Xu, Zhao Pan'er spit at him directly, eyes full of disdain, Ouyang Xu remained silent, and let Zhao Pan'er be taken away by the officer. Uncle De gloated and said:
"The scourge is finally gone!"

"To shut up!"

Ouyang Xu yelled, wiped the saliva off his face, looked at Uncle De and said:

"Pack up your things, I will leave Tokyo immediately after my majesty sees that the appointment is over!"

"Yes, official!"

On the other side, Zhao Pan'er and others, who were all in a mess, were thrown on an open-air donkey cart by officials, and paraded through the streets and alleys to show the public.

Along the way, the curious people stopped to watch the bustle, and the official followed the donkey cart with his men, and there were officials in front of him who were in charge of beating the gong to clear the way:
"Give way, let's parade through the streets!"

Although I don't know exactly what royal law Zhao Pan'er and others violated, but this does not prevent those kind and simple people from throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetables to Zhao Pan'er and others, and at the same time pointing and discussing with disdain, in their simple In their minds, since they are paraded through the streets by officials, they must be bad people. Since they are bad people, they can throw them with rotten eggs, rotten vegetables and so on. The more the good guys are jealous, the bad guys deserve death, long live the good guys!

Affected by this shame and humiliation, Zhao Paner and the others were so ashamed and angry that they could only lower their heads as much as possible, trying to hide their faces. Sun Sanniang and Yinping girl sat in front of the donkey cart, blocking Zhao Paner and Song Yinzhang behind them. There were also two torn sacks, Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang each put one on their bodies, covering their heads and faces.

Through the messy strands of hair, Zhao Pan'er saw the high-spirited officials and the contemptuous people in Tokyo. At this moment, she couldn't help but miss Yuan Xudong. If Yuan Xudong was by her side, he would definitely not It would make Ouyang Xu bully her like this. Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but tears rolled down her eyes.

"Sister, are you crying?"

Seeing Zhao Paner crying sadly, Song Yinzhang couldn't help being taken aback. It was the first time she saw Zhao Paner crying since she was a child. When she was in the Jiaofang Division, Zhao Paner didn't cry even if she was beaten, scolded and punished by the steward. After a while, thinking of this, Song Yinzhang also cried sadly:

"Sister, it's all my fault, if I hadn't lent Fan Lang's gold medal to Zhang Haohao"

As he talked, Song Yinzhang was already sobbing. Seeing her like this, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help persuading:

"Okay, you are wrong, but it's not your fault alone, I'm also wrong, Ouyang Xu is even more wrong, let's take it as a lesson, it's actually not a big deal!"

"Quiet!"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er and the others crying, the officials couldn't help snorting coldly. Seeing that they were all bowing their heads, ashamed to see others, he deliberately shouted at the ordinary people who were standing around watching the excitement:
"Look, look, they are all swindlers who blackmail people's money!"

What the officials said made the onlookers even more interested, and the rotten eggs and rotten vegetables were thrown all over the place towards Zhao Pan'er and others on the donkey cart. Sun Sanniang and Yinping girl hurriedly protected Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang. The two of them were immediately smashed so that their heads and faces were covered with liquid egg and rotten vegetable roots. Even Sun Sanniang, who was always pungent, couldn't help her eyes flushed and shed tears after being humiliated by this.

Yin Ping girl cried like a tearful person, while crying, while protecting Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang, as pitiful as she could be.

For a moment, the four women on the donkey cart hugged each other, weeping together, bearing the attack of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, a group of children with windmills chased after the donkey cart, learning while running. The adult threw small stones on the donkey cart like that, and it hurt Zhao Pan'er and the others even more, and his heart was cut like a knife.

After driving out of the city gate, the donkey cart stopped slowly. Zhao Pan'er and others were roughly pulled from the cart by several officials and thrown heavily on the ground. They were in a panic for a while.

"Listen, if you dare to go to Beijing to make trouble again, be careful that I will break your legs!"

After all, the Xiang official snorted coldly, and led the officials under his command to drive the donkey cart back into the city. After they left, Zhao Pan'er and the others climbed up from the dust. Passers-by looked sideways, and the women were ashamed to see people, and turned sideways to avoid the eyes of passers-by. At this time, Song Yinzhang looked at Zhao Pan'er and asked in disbelief:

"Sister, what should we do now?"

Seeing Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Yinping girl all looking at him, waiting for him to make up his mind, Zhao Pan'er didn't want them to worry, so he reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, there is an inn not far ahead. If Fan Lang returns to Tokyo, he will definitely pass by there. Let's go there and wait for him!"

"Okay!"

When Yuan Xudong was mentioned, the girls regained a bit of energy in an instant, and the Yinping girl said viciously:

"When the young master comes back, we must teach that dog official a lesson, as well as the hateful Ouyang Xu and Uncle De, and let them go to the street too!"

"that is!"

Sun Sanniang also said angrily:

"That Ouyang Xu, that's really bad, and that Uncle De, an old and disrespectful old thing, why is his mouth so cheap, and that bitch official, who blatantly accepts bribes from others, this Tokyo man Why is the officer so bad?"

"The world is as black as crows. He and Ouyang Xu are both officials, and they are just protecting each other!"

With a sigh, Zhao Pan'er said calmly:
"Let's go!"

"Ok!"

The women supported each other and walked towards the post station outside Tokyo. After walking for a while, they all looked back at the same time. What's more, at the beginning, he entered Tokyo City in a government post car, but now he was driven out of Tokyo in a government donkey cart.

Only then did they clearly understand what it means that the people do not fight with officials, and a small official can drive them out of Tokyo in such a state of embarrassment. Such famous aristocrats, if they want to deal with a few of their weak women, it will be effortless, right and wrong, after all, it is only the officials who have the final say.

Walking down the road in a daze, passing a tributary of the Yuhe River, seeing the clear water, Zhao Pan'er didn't want to be seen by Yuan Xudong in such a mess, so he proposed:
"Sanniang, Yinzhang, Yinping, let's go to the river to wash!"

"Okay!"

"Let's go!"

"My body is so dirty. You say these Tokyo people are real. It's fine to hit people with rotten vegetable leaves. They even threw eggs at me. What a waste. It hurts to hit me!"

"Just be content with it, luckily it's not a stone or something!"

"I didn't kill and set fire, so why did they hit me?"

After complaining, Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er and said with concern:
"Pan'er, how is the wound on your forehead, does it still hurt?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore!"

Walking to the river, the girls squatted down and washed their hands. Zhao Pan'er washed his hands, washed the dirt on his face and the blood on his forehead with water, and tidied up his clothes and messy hair. After she became less embarrassed, she looked at the wound on her forehead against the reflection in the water, and there was a slightly long and narrow scar between her eyebrows.

Although she said she was fine, Zhao Paner still couldn't help worrying. She didn't know whether the wound would heal, whether it would leave a scar after it healed, and if it did leave a scar, would it be ugly? Will you not like it? Wait, for a while, my mind is upset.

"Pan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er staring at the river in a daze, Sun Sanniang, who was closest to her, couldn't help but worry.

"fine!"

Hearing Sun Sanniang's voice, Zhao Pan'er hurriedly covered the wound with the hair on her forehead. She looked at Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang, and Yinping girl with a forced smile and said:

"Have you all washed up yet?"

"Washed!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang, and Yinping girl had all washed up, Zhao Pan'er stood up from the river and forced a smile:

"Let's go, there is still a distance from the post station, we have to go faster next time, we must get there before dark!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhao Pan'er and others continued on their way. At this time, a group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses, with flags flying, galloped wildly from the official road in the distance. Although there are only fifty or sixty riders, they are as imposing as a rainbow. These people are all dressed in black uniforms, with steel swords on their waists, and the horses riding on their crotches are sweaty horses that travel eight hundred miles a day, like thousands of troops. Ma Zhishi was invincible and still far away, so Sun Sanniang pulled Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, and Yinping girl to the side of the road to get out of the way in advance:
"Hurry up, hurry up, these officials are really not good people, and they ride so fast on the official road, aren't they afraid of hitting people to death?"

Zhao Pan'er and the others stood on the side of the road to give way, because their coats were torn by the officials, and they were ashamed to see others, so they lowered their heads and stood with their backs to the official road. close.

Song Yinzhang, the youngest, admired those heroes who rode tall horses and killed enemies in blood on the battlefield. He fantasized that one day in the future, his own great hero would ride his white horse to save him, take him away and fly away, and wandered ever since. the end of the world.

Because of this, when she saw someone else riding a horse, she would involuntarily take a closer look, and it was the same this time. When the sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer, she couldn't help but look back, and saw the leader riding a horse. The maroon horse, dressed in a black suit, with a sword slung across his waist, has a heroic face, but is as gentle as jade. It is Yuan Xudong who has not seen him for a few days. He finally returned from his hometown.

Seeing that it was Yuan Xudong, Song Yinzhang was so excited that he ran from the side of the road to the middle of the official road to stop the horse, waved his hands and shouted:

"Fan Lang, I'm here!"

"Yinzhang, come back!"

Seeing that Song Yinzhang ran to stop the horse in the middle of the road, Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang, and Yin Ping girl were terrified, and Yuan Xudong was also shocked. He was galloping wildly, but someone suddenly ran out from the side of the road to stop the horse. Song Yinzhang couldn't help shouting:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Song Yinzhang seemed to be frightened, but he stood there motionless. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Xudong reined in the reins suddenly. One side of the steed bent down, and saw that he was holding the rein tightly with his left hand, and with his right hand, he picked up Song Yinzhang who was frightened, pulled her onto the horse's back, and hugged her in his arms. At this moment, Yuan Xudong loosened his grip. Holding the reins, the steed ran forward for a while before finally stopping. The guards of the Xiao family who had been closely behind Yuan Xudong also stopped and stood guard around.

"Scared stupid?"

At this time, Yuan Xudong had the thought to look at Song Yinzhang who was still nestled in his arms. Seeing her staring at him infatuatedly, he couldn't help cursing angrily:

"Why are you so stupid? Are you looking for death by running to stop the horse in the middle of the road?"

Hearing her "white horse hero" scolding herself, Song Yinzhang woke up from her fear and reverie. Looking at Yuan Xudong who was full of anger, she couldn't help lowering her head, not daring to look into his eyes. But he was clutching the skirt of his chest tightly, looking like a little girl who made a mistake and was waiting for an adult to punish her.

In fact, she is really young, and Zhao Pan'er has protected her so well these years. She doesn't know anything except playing the pipa. Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong couldn't help suppressing his anger, and asked softly:
"Why do you stop me here, and you are still in such a mess?"
