Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 35 Ten Miles of Red Makeup
Eight large sedan chairs, ten miles of red dowry, the types of dowry include clothing, shoes, housing, travel, marriage, mulberry, silk, Luo, agriculture, and work, as well as beds, tables, utensils, cages, and bedding. Everything you need, everything you need for daily life, all of which are first-class goods.

128 Carrying the dowry, a large box of red lacquer, a load of loads, and a bar of bars are all painted with red lacquer and gold, shining brightly, and the four of them barely carry it, showing the wealth of the Lan family.

The wedding procession lined up from the street to the end of the street, and the red silk and satin fluttered in the wind, really rendering the ten-mile street.

The welcoming team of the Zeng family was all dressed in blue and white full armor, riding tall horses of the same color, their weapons shining brightly, and they were imposing.

Hundreds of guards lined up in two rows, guarding around the big sedan chair, guarding against the surrounding crowd.

There was no need to publicize the situation of the Lan family marrying a daughter, but it almost attracted the crowds of the whole city.

It has been a long time since there was such a scene in Shili City, and even the lady from the noble family who welcomed the city lord when he got married did not have such a battle.

The melon-eaters put down almost everything in their hands, and gathered around the Lan Mansion, three circles inside and three circles outside, discussing a lot, preparing to see the peerless beauty of the bride.

Steward Wang was dressed in formal attire, restrained all his expressions, without the slightest hint of impatience, and waited respectfully in front of the eight-carried sedan chair of the Zeng family, waiting for the auspicious time and the arrival of the rightful lord.

As the sun rose day by day, the gate of the Lan Mansion, decorated with lights and festoons, slowly opened. The old man Lan walked out of the gate first, and he was dressed in a red and yellow festive gown, standing under the big plaque of the Lan Mansion, facing his face. He looked at the Zeng family's team expressionlessly.

Steward Wang hastily made a bow and greeted Mr. Lan, but he saw Mr. Lan standing there blankly, as if he didn't see Butler Wang's etiquette.Only Butler Hu hurriedly stood up and returned the gift for Old Man Lan.

The clattering of horseshoes sounded untimely, and under the puzzled and expectant eyes of everyone, Miss Lan went out.

"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar.

I saw Miss Lan dressed in a red robe, wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, riding a tall horse with red flowers on her head, holding a Qingfeng sword, her heroic posture, there was no shyness in her face, but a sense of determination.

It is not the traditional way of getting married by other ladies of the family. It is more like a soldier going out to battle with the support of one's close relatives on the eight-carried sedan chair.

There was no blessing in Mr. Lan's eyes and expression, he just looked at his beloved granddaughter emptyly, and walked out of the house like a stranger.

It was even difficult for him to reach out his hand to stop him, and it was difficult for him to say that sentence to her.

Steward Wang was obviously stunned as well, and stood there blankly staring at Miss Lan and her steed. Such a sight was unexpected even for the well-informed.

Butler Wang raised his head and looked directly into Miss Lan's eyes.

After a while, Steward Wang lowered his head and bowed his hands in salute.

"The auspicious time has come! The Zeng family gets married and clears the way!"

Performing a bow and performing a thousand dances, Steward Wang fulfilled his due obligations and loudly announced the beginning of this wedding ceremony.

"Crackling!"

Firecrackers blared, gongs and drums blared, announcing to the entire Ten Mile City that the eldest lady of the Lan family was married!
"Marrying into my Zeng family, and marrying the next head of the Zeng family, is the dream of many ladies in the upper city! Even if it's just a flat wife, it's a blessing that others can't even dream of!"

"Miss Lan, you are already very lucky!"

Steward Wang answered Li Xing's question in this way.

Before this, Li Xing never thought that the Zeng family expended so much energy just to marry the granddaughter of Zhongqing in this city as a flat wife.No matter from which angle you think about it, this matter highlights a weirdness.

It seemed that to further answer Li Xing's doubts, or because the errands were done, Steward Wang was in a good mood, and he began to popularize the Lan family for Li Xing.

"Mr. Li, do you know that Master Lan has two brothers, but only one son."

"This son was also the coquettish leader of the city at that time, but it's a pity that God is jealous of talents."

Butler Wang's tone was so regrettable when he mentioned someone.

"More than 10 years ago, this son died in battle without even having time to leave any words. Only his wife, who was eight months pregnant, was left in the entire mansion."

"His wife fainted when she heard the news that her husband had died in battle. Since then, she has been bedridden, insisted on giving birth to the fetus in her womb, and followed her husband away."

"This child is Miss Lan."

No father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, all relatives with ulterior motives, maybe except old man Lan, others are not her relatives at all.

The rich and powerful families also have their own sufferings.

Li Xing watched the wedding procession go away, seeing Miss Lan's resoluteness without looking back, this should be the last stubbornness of this lady who is looking forward to the world.

"Mr. Li is a great talent! Thanks to Mr. Li's action in this matter, the follow-up troubles were avoided!"

"I hope you will accept these silver coins!"

Sure enough, Li Xing was not disappointed. The Zeng family deserved to be a big family, and Li Xing was elated with the generous sum of 3000 taels.

Although he didn't get the bonus reward from Golden Swallow, the harvest of 3000 plus 2000 totaling 5000 taels was not in vain for his hard work during this time.

The matter came to an end, Steward Wang saluted with his hands clasped, and walked to the gate of Lan Mansion with his maid.

The flashback of the clip just recalled, the noisy voice gradually dissipated, Li Xing couldn't express his mood, standing on the street, he felt a little confused for a while.

"Master Xing, Master Xing!"

A burst of shouts called Li Xing's attention back, and he took a closer look, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, but he had been following Xiao Liu's side all the time.

I saw him standing in front of me with a face full of sadness and fear.

"Please save Brother Six!"

"What's the matter? Speak slowly!"

Li Xing frowned, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart, wondering why he hadn't heard from Xiao Liu for so long, it turned out that something had happened!
"Brother Six, Brother Six was captured by the city guards!"

"what?"

Although Li Xing felt that the incident was sudden at the moment, being caught by the city guards, shouldn't it be commonplace for a group of people who often do petty theft?

Li Xing only felt itchy when he was Xiao Liuyi, and was caught by the city guard, which delayed the business.Although a little puzzled, Li Xing believed that these guys should have their own channels.

"You didn't ask your acquaintances? But the money is missing?"

"I asked!"

Xiao Liu's follower had snot mixed with tears on his face, shook his head, and denied Li Xing's statement.

"The acquaintances of the city guards said that this time it was the order of the city lord, and the day after tomorrow, Brother Liu will be executed at Caishikou!"

"what?"

Li Xing turned pale with shock, this sudden news was simply unbelievable to him!

"Ask to cut? Why?"

"They didn't say anything, and they didn't say anything after receiving the money. They just said that Brother Liu was hopeless. Let us prepare for his funeral in advance!"

Li Xing's thoughts turned straight, and he couldn't figure out the joints here.

"Where is Xiao Liu now?"

"I've asked, and my acquaintances in the city guard said they don't know!"

Li Xing subconsciously thought of Meng Shichang, but then thought of Mr. Ran who said he was going to have a banquet.

Yes, Young Master Ran!
Li Xing suddenly thought of the person who could really solve this matter. Since that guy is the son of the commander of the city guard, he must be able to talk about this matter!

"Don't worry, I'll figure out a solution for this matter! Xiao Liu is my little brother, and I won't die!"
