Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 279 Withstand God's Judgment

In other words, You Yue'e suffered a great loss from Mrs. Ye's place, and Ye Qiongdan walked for more than half an hour, and when she arrived at the warehouse, she was not welcomed by anyone.

At this time, the streets around the warehouse were already crowded, and everyone was discussing this matter.

Someone recognized Ye Qiongdan who was brought over by the yamen servants, and immediately shouted: "Look! That's Ye Qiongdan! She is the one who ate our donations, and she wants us all to starve to death. She is our enemy! Our enemy! Hit her!"

Immediately, someone threw rotten cabbage leaves, rotten eggs, and stones at Ye Qiongdan...

The yamen servant didn't dare to injure the noble Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu. While blocking a large number of attacks for them, he drew his official knife and waved it around.

"Try throwing it again! Try throwing it again! If you throw it again! Don't blame me for being rude!" the yamen servant shouted loudly.

The people dare not throw it away, but they are angry in their hearts.

"Why don't you let me throw it away? She stole the charity money, so she's right?"

"That's right! She stole the charity money for our life-saving, she deserves to die! Do you know how many people in our county will be killed by her behavior? It's not an exaggeration to let her be cut into pieces!"

"We're going to sue her to the government! We're going to write a petition with bloody handprints! We're going to make her pay!"

……

"Yes! Let her pay the price!" The people raised their fists and shouted in unison.

"Aren't you too much?" Xu Mingzhu took out a handkerchief and wiped off the rotten egg liquid on her face, pointed at them angrily and said, "Does Ye Qiongdan owe you? Don't forget, the cure for the plague Fang Zi, she contributed without taking a penny! You smashed her, it is simply ungrateful!"

"At this time and at that time, she swallowed the charity money, she deserves to die!" someone shouted.

"She swallowed the donation?" Xu Mingzhu sneered, "Why do you say that she swallowed the donation? Do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, don't slander people with red lips and white teeth!"

"Except for her, who else has the ability to guard and steal?" Someone shouted again.

"There are a lot of capable people in this world. Don't slander people without knowing the truth!" Xu Mingzhu pursed her lips, "Also, it's out of love that she raises money for you, and she doesn't raise money for you. Charity is my duty! If it weren't for her hard work, there would be no donation of these 10 taels of silver!"

"Hmph! She asked high-ranking officials to solicit donations for charity, and she was using the name of our disaster victims to make money for herself! Don't talk so grandly, but describe her as so noble and virtuous!"

"You guys are going too far! It's going too far! My father is right, it really is a poor country and a bad place to make trouble," Xu Mingzhu took Ye Qiongdan's hand, and said with a frown, "Qiongdan, let's go! Let's not go to the scene, they can think whatever they like, we have a clear conscience!"

Ye Qiongdan shook his head: "I still have to go and see the scene."

"But you are not a yamen servant, what scene are you looking at? It is good to leave this kind of matter to the yamen servants to solve. If those yamen servants are smart enough to find some clues to find out the truth, then they can clear your suspicion!"

"And then? Then I won't go out for a while?" Ye Qiongdan asked back.

"You go back to the mansion with me first. My father's mansion has elite soldiers and strong generals. Forgive them, those unscrupulous people who don't know right from wrong, and don't know right from wrong, can't come in!"

"Then what should my family members do? Are they going to be taken to the Xu Mansion for a temporary stay?"

"What's wrong with this!" Xu Mingzhu said disapprovingly.

"Don't worry, I have a way to solve this matter now," Ye Qiongdan patted her hand lightly, and then, looking at the crowd, "Fellow folks, I know that you suspect that I swallowed the charity money, and today is cloudy, There will always be a thunderstorm in the afternoon. I plan to go to Peacock Mountain this afternoon to stand the judgment of God. If God thinks that I have swallowed charity money and done something wrong to the people, then God will definitely rain down on me. If God thinks I am innocent, then no matter how much thunder falls, it will not fall on me."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.

Go to Peacock Mountain to be judged by God?She is going to die!
This lightning doesn't have eyes, what if it really hit her?Isn't that dead?

God sometimes hacks people for no reason. Sometimes, some people who have never done anything bad in their life are weeding on the field row, and are suddenly hit by a spherical thunder; While rushing on the road in the wilderness, he was suddenly struck to death by lightning; there were even people watching the rain from a tall building, chatting and laughing, and suddenly they were chopped into charcoal!

Although everyone wished bad people would be struck by lightning, in real life, most of the people who were unfortunately struck to death were ordinary people who were not treacherous and evil?

Gradually, the discussion sounded.

"She really didn't swallow the money, did she? Otherwise, how dare she go to the mountain to accept God's judgment in a thunderstorm? If she didn't have a clear conscience, how dare she do such a thing?"

"Even if she really has a clear conscience, she is courting death by doing so!"

"Why bother? If she really didn't do it, the Yamen will give her justice!"

"Let's take a look first, maybe she was just impulsive? In the afternoon, she might not dare to come!"

"That's right!"

……

"If you don't believe me, you can wait at the foot of Kongque Mountain in the late afternoon. I will sit on the gazebo on the top of the mountain so that you can all see me!" Ye Qiongdan said firmly.

Xu Mingzhu was also taken aback. Just as she was about to persuade her not to do something stupid, she remembered that she could draw the Five Thunder Talisman, and immediately felt relieved.

I'm afraid that there will be rain in the afternoon, but there will be no thunderstorms, right?
The gazebo on the top of the mountain is so far away from the foot of the mountain, everyone can only see a faint figure, it is she who drew out the Five Thunder Talisman and ignited it with the true energy in her body, and the people at the foot of the mountain will not be able to see her small movements, when the time comes , didn't she let the thunder fall wherever she wanted it to land?
Thinking of this, Xu Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief.

With Ye Qiongdan's promise, the people stopped her and let her enter the warehouse.

At this time, martial law was imposed around the warehouse, and the corpses were taken away by the suffering master.

Along the way, blood was everywhere.

After Ye Qiongdan walked around inside and outside the warehouse, he looked at the yamen servants guarding here: "Have you asked all the people who live around here?"

"I asked," the yamen servant nodded, "I said I didn't hear anything last night."

"There are no traces of fighting inside or outside the warehouse. They should have been killed in a coma," Ye Qiongdan said thoughtfully. "Have you checked the leftover food and drinking water?"

"I've checked, and there's something wrong with the food," the yamen servant sighed. "Yesterday, someone celebrated his birthday. His cousin sent some dried seafood from the south. Everyone wanted to try something new. Only one person was sick and couldn't eat it." Eating hair, this escaped a catastrophe."

"I see," Ye Qiongdan nodded, "What about the person who brought the seafood?"

"Run away," the yamen servant shook his head, "We have already counted the corpses, and we haven't found any extra people, so he probably absconded?"

Among the people nearby, has anyone seen his cousin's appearance?

"Yes!" The yamen servant nodded, "I've already started to ask the painter to paint."

"Where is the painter now? Has the painting been finished?"

"Not yet, I'll take you there right now."

The yamen servant led Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu to a teahouse outside, and pushed open the door of a private room.

The painter inside the door raised his head, let out a long breath, lifted the painting in his hand, and looked at the man beside him: "Are you sure it's this person?"

"It's this one! It's so similar!" The man nodded and said.

"Already painted?" the yamen servant came over and asked.

"Drawn." The painter nodded and handed over the painting.

The yamen servant blew on the wet ink and handed the portrait to Ye Qiongdan.

Xu Mingzhu also came over to look at the portrait with Ye Qiongdan.

Ye Qiongdan returned the portrait to the yamen servant after remembering the person in the portrait: "Thank you, Mingzhu, let's go back first."

"Okay." Xu Mingzhu nodded.

After returning, Ye Qiongdan shut himself in the room and began to draw the Five Thunder Talisman.

Ye Fengshun, You Yue'e and Xiang girl in the house quickly passed the neighbors and found out that Ye Qiongdan was going to Peacock Mountain in the afternoon to accept the test of Tianlei.

You Yue'e was already in a depressed mood because of being extorted by Mrs. Ye for 100 taels of silver, but now, she is even more depressed.

If something happened to Ye Qiongdan, wouldn't she have to go back to the miserable life at Lao Ye's house again?
What's more, Maid Xue was out to manage the business, and she also relied on Ye Qiongdan. If she didn't have face, how could the business be so easy?

It's just that once something happened to Ye Qiongdan, the business would be suppressed.

The more You Yue'e thought about it, the more frightened she became, she couldn't help but started pacing in the main room, complaining.

Xiang girl stood up and said awkwardly: "Mother, maybe Adan is thinking about countermeasures in the room? It's better not to talk for now, let her be quiet."

"How do you let me be quiet?" You Yue'e was furious, and she directed her anger on Xiang girl, "It's getting more and more unlucky as the days go by, and you don't let me worry about it. Hurry up and go back to the house to read a book. I'm far away from you!" The school has only one month to take the entrance exam, why are you still hanging around here? If you don’t get admitted to the women’s school and gild yourself, will you be able to marry in the future?”

Speaking of the word "marry", You Yue'e thought of Mrs. Ye's threat again, and she was so angry that she was almost out of her wits.

Ye Fengshun hurried over to persuade him, but before he opened his mouth, You Yue'e scolded him sternly.

Xu Mingzhu couldn't stay in the main room any longer, so she simply waited outside Ye Qiongdan's door.

An hour later, Ye Qiongdan came out, and the first sentence was: "It's already noon, why hasn't dinner yet?"

"Are you still in the mood to eat?" Xu Mingzhu was shocked.

"Why am I not in the mood?" Ye Qiongdan smiled, "I have thought of a good way to solve this matter quickly."

"What way?" Xu Mingzhu asked curiously.

"Come here with your ear," Ye Qiongdan beckoned to her, and then whispered the plan in her ear, "After lunch, you can go."

"Okay! Leave it to me!" Xu Mingzhu assured, patting her chest.
