Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 894 Take action
After that, it was snowy and windy for several days.

The sky is covered with ice and snow.

The nameless village outside the city was already sparsely populated, but when it was covered by the thick white snow, the whole village seemed to be buried. The thin wood door could hardly block the severe cold. Everyone huddled at home, guarding the fire pit. A weak flame trembled.

Of course, it wasn't just the cold that made them tremble.

In such weather, suddenly a rumbling sound was heard amid the howling wind, shaking the ground and the houses seemed to be swaying on the edge of collapse. The villagers were terrified. They pushed the door open one by one, wrapped in the only thick cotton-padded clothes in their homes, to take a look. When they saw what was happening, they were all stunned.

A group of officers and soldiers rushed into the village.

These men were wearing armor and looked fierce. As soon as they arrived, they kicked down the fences of several houses in the village. Everyone was heartbroken and bleeding, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only open their eyes and watch the officers and soldiers riding horses in the village. They were running rampant and running around, and soon they blocked both the front and rear roads of the village.

There seemed to be people guarding the village.

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "Come out, get out!"

The villagers here have been honest friends all their lives. Except for last year's plague when they saw some officers and soldiers coming to fetch people, and the accident a while ago, they have never seen such a battle on weekdays. They were all trembling with fear and walked out without daring to say a word. Their respective houses were gathered on the largest open space in the village. The snow here was as deep as the knees. Everyone stood there shivering, not knowing what was happening for a moment, and everyone was like a frightened bird.

Soon all the villagers were rushed here, and the officers and soldiers surrounded them. The swords in their hands shone coldly, making everyone tremble with fear.

Then, I saw a man riding a horse approaching.

This man is different from other officers and soldiers. He is wearing a thick fox fur coat, which is very valuable at first glance. He is obviously a high official. However, one eye is missing from his face and he is also wrapped in thick gauze. Because he He was originally thin, with sunken cheeks and thin lips. He looked a bit mean and unkind, which made him look even more ferocious.

Especially when he was riding on horseback and slowly walked around the villagers, looking down at the people's eyes, it was as cold and ruthless as looking at the meat on the chopping board.

After a while, the man said: "Are you Jiang Yu's fellow villager?"

Upon hearing the name, the villagers all took a deep breath.

They naturally knew that the new family surnamed Jiang had just moved into the village two years ago. The old man Jiang Yu drank alcohol and ate meat on weekdays, and was extremely carefree. However, he turned out to be a cultivator and had to stay in the house every night. Sitting there and chanting sutras, everyone had never seen such a person before, and they all made fun of him, but he was a good person. He often treated guests after buying wine and meat. It was rare for the villagers to have a bite of meat all year round, so although they thought this person was strange , but also get along well with him, especially the children like to go to his house and listen to his stories while eating meat.

Last year, his son came back.

The young man named Jiang Wei seems to have some skills. After all, in these war-torn times, anyone who can travel around and sell horses is not too bad, let alone poor. In addition, he was born well, and there are many girls and young girls in the village. They all secretly admired him, but he climbed up a high branch in the city and broke the hearts of many young girls.

But I didn't expect that a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came to the city a few days ago and took Jiang Yu away.

People in the village are panicked. They haven't figured out what happened. Today, another group of officers and soldiers came, but they have been arrested. What can they do if they come to the people in the village?

Everyone was in panic and didn't know how to respond. At this time, the oldest old man in the village, leaning on a cane, with his gray beard fluttering in the wind, walked out of the crowd tremblingly, saluted and said: "Master, our village has been here for a long time." Several generations of people have lived here for decades. Jiang Yu only moved here two years ago. His home is in the three houses to the east of the village, but he has been arrested. "The rich official. He said coldly: "So, you are his fellow villagers?"

Everyone gasped subconsciously.

That said, it seems that today this group of officers and soldiers are not looking for Jiang Yu, but these people.

The old man knew he couldn't deny it, so he could only say tremblingly: "Yes, Jiang Yu did move here two years ago. We and him - we live in the same village, but we are not like their family. "It's familiar."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers all said in unison: "Yes, we are not familiar with their family."

"None of us have spoken to him."

"We don't know anything about what they did."

"Please take a closer look, sir."

The man on horseback half-squinted his remaining eye, looking down at the frightened faces. His eyes had no warmth, as if he were looking at ants struggling to survive under his feet. After a while, he sneered and said: "Since we are from the same village, it will be easy to handle."

In a blink of an eye, it’s the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Listening to the howling wind outside, Shang Ruyi had just woken up from his nap and had just tidied up his clothes when he heard Tu Sheer coming to report and Doctor Du coming to take a pulse.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown: "Why are you here again?"

As usual, unless the harem concubines and princes and princesses were summoned for something, the doctors from the Imperial Medical Office would only come to ask for a pulse on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and would not take the initiative to come to the door. But since Du Ruoming was promoted, he would come to Qianqiu Palace every now and then.

Of course, he also had valid reasons. Firstly, it was because the emperor's eldest grandson was still young and needed constant care. In addition, the weather was very cold recently and many people in the palace had caught colds and fell ill. Therefore, he had to go more diligently, so every two or three days Tian will come to ask for pulse diagnosis for King Qin and Princess Qin. Yu Wenye rarely spends time at home, and most of the time Shang Ruyi agrees with him.

Seeing Shang Ruyi's impatient look, Tu Sheer said softly: "How about the slave says that the princess is still resting and sends him back?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's it, let him come in."

Tusheer turned around and went out, and soon brought Du Ruoming in.

This man was quite polite. After coming in, he greeted Princess Qin. Shang Ruyi also smiled reluctantly and greeted him for a few words. Then he stretched out his hand to let him check his pulse. After confirming that there was nothing serious about his body, he prepared to let him drink. After a cup of tea, he sent him away.

Du Ruoming sat down, raised his head and looked around, and said with a cautious smile: "I wonder where your highness is?"
