rich concubine

Chapter 2400 Not all are black
Ever since I learned that they were not Southern Barbarians, when I looked at these two people, I felt that their temperament was different, and they had an innate nobility.

After eating a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, Rong Yi was full, but this amount of food was still not enough for Jiang Shunxiao. There were steamed buns made with rice paste on the side, and she only felt full after eating two pieces.

After eating, the old couple came over and stood in front of them, looking embarrassed, and said, "I wonder if you two have time. We don't understand something and would like to ask you to give us an answer."

Rong Yi faced them and Jiang Shunxiao said, "Where is it quieter? Let's sit down and talk slowly."

The old couple took the two of them to the backyard, where they usually lived. The place was as clean as an inn outside.

Jiang Shunxiao and Rong Yi sat down, but the old couple were very restrained. They stood in front of them with their heads lowered. Rong Yi said, "Sit down, let's talk face to face."

The two hesitated for a moment, then sat down, pinching the corners of their clothes nervously. Seeing them like this, Rong Yi's voice became softer.

"What happened this morning was all a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, everyone should relax."

The old man said: "Don't you want to pursue it?"

Jiang Shunxiao: "What's the use of pursuing us for things that haven't happened? Besides, don't you all say you are punishing rape and eradicating evil and doing good deeds? Since you are doing good deeds, why should we hold you accountable?"

Hearing these words, the old couple couldn't help but feel ashamed, and they couldn't tell for a moment whether their words were reasonable or unreasonable.

Rong Yi: "Since it was a misunderstanding, we are not unreasonable people. You treat us as barbarians and want to poison us. There must be a reason. What did they do to make you suffer?" ?"

When asked about this matter, the expressions of the old couple changed, and the pain and struggle in their eyes were clearly visible.

"We, an old couple, have a daughter. She is very well-behaved and very beautiful. We have just one daughter. She is old and her eyes hurt. When she was 15 years old, she was captured by the barbarians. They said she was the one who came to the southern barbarians. She stole something somewhere, and a princess there wanted to take her back for questioning. Once she left, she never came back. His father and I went to the house several times to ask for someone, but his father was beaten badly and was driven back. But they said that she had been let go a long time ago. She did not come back on her own and ran away secretly. That is our daughter. We used to serve as a post station here to store letters. My daughter has been to Nanman to deliver a few letters and she knows the way. , if she was released, why didn't she come back to us? Why was she running away? "

"This is obviously prevarication! But they insist on saying that they let her go because our daughter ran away and refused to come back. It's really making the sky unresponsive and the earth not working. We can't catch them. Even the county magistrate couldn't do anything to them. All they had to do was insist that she was released and find a few people to sit in. They did see that our daughter had come out, but where was our daughter? She is so good and sensible. If she If you were released, how could you not come back?"

The old man's eyes were also scarlet: "This matter is a hurdle in the hearts of us old couple. After so many years, we can still dream of her calling us dad and mom in our dreams. She is only 15 years old, and we have just discussed it with her. A marriage, nothing happened...she was gone."

Old woman: "In the early years, we just thought they were detaining people. But after so many years, we also know that our daughter is probably gone."

When they said this, the couple looked numb, but the hatred in their eyes did not diminish at all.Rong Yi's eyes flickered, and the pain in her eyes was deep. It was just as painful to see the old couple burst into tears and tell them about this incident. It was not easy to raise a child, and they were caught for no apparent reason. Go, there is nothing more to say, I don’t know whether I am dead or alive, whether I have been tortured, my heart is like being thrown into a frying pan...

"They are too lawless. If you lose property, you should report it to the officials. How can you arrest people and question them privately? It's simply lawless!"

The old woman wiped her tears and said, "Don't you know? The Southern Barbarians are also called small dynasties. In private, they have long since established themselves as kings. They have the final say in everything here. There are people behind them. They support us, and those of us who have been bullied don’t dare to make a fuss. After all, our ancestors have been buried here for generations, and if they really want to take revenge, none of us can escape.”

The old man shook his head: "To them. I wish I could drink their blood as long as I live!"

Their daughter is most likely gone. If she is still alive, there will always be rumors after so many years.

Then the Southern Barbarians are so rampant, and they dare to call themselves a small dynasty and proclaim themselves kings even though they care about human lives?This is already a crime of rebellion, a crime that implicates the nine clans.

Rong Yi glanced at Jiang Shunxiao. He looked calm and showed no emotion, but Rong Yi knew that his heart must not be calm. This incident was too shocking. In the southern barbarian land... it was no longer as simple as suppressing and attacking.

It's no wonder that when Ruan Chuyin talked about the Nanman Minister before, he looked half-smiling but not smiling, and looked enigmatic. Before coming, Rong Yi felt that he was sure of taking them down, but now... his [-]% certainty has dropped to [-]%. become.

Rong Yi asked: "Have you never been to Nanman in all these years? Are all the people in Nanman like this?"

The old couple were silent for a while, and the old woman said: "That's not the case for everyone. In the early years, knowing that there was no hope of finding a girl, I thought about sneaking in alone and killing the princess, but... that princess's The confidant recognized me and drove me away. He said that if he didn’t want to cause more casualties, let me get out and never set foot in the southern barbarian land again, and don’t let the princess see me.”

Rong Yi: "..."

Jiang Shunxiao: "..."

"At first I thought they were arrogant and rude, but then I calmed down and thought about it again. What that man said to me was that he didn't even have a chance to let me see the princess. When I entered their camp, he discovered me and drove me away. If the Southern Barbarians were all unforgivable and vicious, my life as an old woman's life wouldn't mean anything. He would have saved me by letting me go. My life."

Rong Yi sighed secretly and said: "That's true. On a ship, you can't beat everyone on the ship to death just because one person did something bad. There are always good and bad people in a group of people, and some people's hearts are not the same. Even when it's dark, there will be people who remain kind. People who have struggled in the abyss for a long time can only walk in the dark. Try not to hurt yourself, and don't hurt others because of yourself. I know what you said, so I feel relieved. At least that area isn’t all dark.”
