Regent she always teases me
Chapter 22
The woman helped her and Zhou Jin to sit on the stool, and reached out for a gleaming phoenix crown, which looked out of place in the dark and dilapidated small room.
"Is this... is there a happy event at home?" The more Shen Lingyan looked at it, the more she felt that it looked like a headdress worn by a woman when she gets married. In this country, the phoenix crown doesn't have to be worn by a queen or empress. Ordinary people can also wear it when they get married.It's just that Shen Lingyan doesn't understand, the marriage is obviously a happy event, why this family is so worried, maybe...
What kind of official children forced marriage?
Shen Lingyan was already furious before they could speak, and what the woman said slowly was suffocating.
"It's marrying my daughter to the God of the River." The woman's tears fell like broken beads, and she told all the recent things. The more Shen Lingyan and Zhou Jin heard it, the darker their faces became.
It turned out that the river water rose in summer, and their village was close to a big river and many lakes. There had already been a flood several decades ago, and almost suffered heavy casualties.But in the second year after the flood, a young woman slipped into the river and couldn't salvage her body, but it was that year... the river didn't rise too much, and the harvest was very good. When a flood occurred, the villagers began this cruel act of offering sacrifices to the river god.
The process is very simple, in fact, it is sending the most beautiful woman into the river.And this behavior really kept the whole village safe and sound for decades.
"Why didn't the people in the village move away after the flood and stay away from these rivers and lakes, instead of staying here and letting the women be sacrificed?" Shen Lingyan asked a question, seeing the man bring the medicine, He took it with thanks again and again, and while feeding Zhou Jin the medicine, he listened to the woman's next words.
She wiped away her tears, and made eye contact with her husband for a while with a worried expression. The man nodded slightly, and she dared to speak.
"This is close to Liangzhou. The governor's surname is Li, and his name is Li Xiuxian, but he does all kinds of evil. I don't know why. The government also allocates funds frequently, as if to praise the governor... We people would rather be here than go there. It's not as good as the day." As she said, the tears that the woman had just stopped flowing out uncontrollably, the atmosphere in the whole room was very depressing, Zhou Jin had already taken the medicine, and the fever was already subsiding, facing such a thing , she was as angry as Shen Lingyan.
Isn't this the disgusting version of Tyranny is fiercer than tiger?Corrupt officials are fiercer than tigers.
Several people were angry and worried, and at this moment, the door of the side room was pushed open with a creak, and everyone's eyes were focused on the person who pushed the door. Only then did Shen Lingyan see clearly the person known as the whole family. The most beautiful woman in the village.
Even so, the woman did not conceal her beauty, and her daughter even passed on her beauty to ten percent.
Eyebrows, eyes and facial features alone are not very good-looking, but when put together, they are so delicate and decisive. Shen Lingyan faces Zhou Jin's alluring and beautiful face every day, and seeing such a pure face now, she can't be relieved for a while.
Zhou Jin just looked at it and then turned her gaze to Shen Lingyan. She felt that no matter how good-looking she was, she couldn't be as good-looking as Shen Lingyan, but it was a pity that Shen Lingyan was stunned by that person's appearance.
Zhou Jin didn't know what was wrong with her, she became angry when she saw her in a daze, and shook Shen Lingyan's sleeve vigorously, forcing her to come back to her senses.
"Yiqiao, why did you come out?" The woman's name was Zhang Yiqiao, she walked so weakly, she came to Shen Lingyan slowly, her eyes seemed to be pleading.
Shen Lingyan saw it, so she stood up almost immediately, and was going to follow Zhang Yiqiao into the room. Seeing that the two were about to abandon her, Zhou Jin quickly stood up regardless of her injuries, and took the only one from Yunzhu. Several people change clothes, and the high-sounding ones want to follow in and change clothes.
Watching the three of them go in, Yunzhu also went out with the woman to help prepare dinner, only the man rested his chin and thought: "Which family's eldest lady..."
After entering the room, Zhou Jin hid behind the curtain and changed her clothes. Shen Lingyan and Zhang Yiqiao sat by the bed. Looking closely, they found that Zhang Yiqiao's eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time. She was wearing a red wedding dress. She said that she had to wear it for a few days before marrying the river god, and she would go to worship the river god tomorrow.
Shen Lingyan still feels that all this is so unbelievable and too magical, but it is true that there has been no flood after going to the sacrifice every year. Shen Lingyan came from modern times and does not believe in these legends of gods and monsters, but she It is also impossible to persuade others not to believe.
Zhou Jin finally gritted her teeth and changed her clothes. The wound on her body was no longer bleeding. She sat next to Shen Lingyan, with unknown emotions in her eyes.
"So what do you want...please me?" These days the emperor was used to it, and almost blurted out "Zhen". Fortunately, he remembered and changed his words quickly, but Zhou Jin cast a playful look, which made Shen Lingyan feel a little uncomfortable.
"I beg you two girls to help me..." Zhang Yiqiao didn't know how to speak, she just knelt down on the ground, and tears flowed from her already red and swollen eyes. knew.
Zhang Yiqiao saw that it was his father who rescued them, and the two had beautiful looks again, no matter how you look at it, they met the requirements of the God of the River to marry a wife.
Shen Lingyan suddenly showed embarrassment. It was indeed her father who saved her, but isn't marrying the God of the River just about dying?Who would want to die for this kind of thing?
"You two girls don't have to die for Yiqiao, you just need to hold your breath in the river and wait for those people to leave before going ashore..." It seems that Zhang Yiqiao has thought everything through. With a glance, I also have a plan in my heart.
Zhou Jin spoke first: "So, it's not impossible. Ben... I can go to your father immediately and say that I'm willing to replace you, but there is no such good thing in the world, and the girl has to promise us one thing."
When Zhang Yiqiao heard this, her eyes lit up with joy, she temporarily suppressed her happiness, and asked cautiously, "Madam, is there something important?"
"How Li Xiuxian, the governor of Liangzhou, corrupted and committed all kinds of crimes, I want you to explain everything one by one, and there must be evidence. Can it be done?"
Zhou Jin pressed her step by step, and Zhang Yiqiao seemed to run away without agreeing. Zhang Yiqiao looked at the luxuriously dressed woman in front of him, and vaguely guessed something: "You are going to investigate Is it about Li Xiuxian's corruption?"
It's a pity that this suspicion has not been confirmed. Zhou Jin avoided talking about it, but just stared at her. Perhaps Shen Lingyan could look at Zhang Yiqiao's eyes in a daze, but Zhou Jin's eyes were all sharp.
With her life in front of her, Zhang Yiqiao couldn't refuse no matter what, she firmly bowed her head: "Yiqiao is willing!"
Hearing this sentence, Zhou Jin finally laughed.
