Chapter 283 How Can You Eat Rabbit?
This strong wind turned the day into night and made the entire inner city of Lin'an feel like the end of the world.
But it soon subsided, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds again, strong winds suddenly arose and then suddenly stopped, light snow floated from the sky and fell to the ground, soon accumulating into a thin layer.
Many people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling with fear. Some were shouting for help, and some were even shouting that a monster was coming.
But there was no monster, nor any life-threatening scene. It was just a sudden gust of wind that messed up people's clothes and hair and blew up the dust and dirt on the ground. People just looked a little embarrassed and surprised, but they didn't actually suffer any substantial harm.
However, the seal on the gate of Yu Mansion was blown off and the gate was blown open. The officers heard screams from inside and rushed in to check. But before they could rush in, the people inside rushed out first and knocked the two officers to the ground with great force.
Only then did they understand what the people inside were screaming: "Crazy! They are all crazy! All crazy!"
They were indeed all crazy. People saw Master Yu running out with Yu Xiaodie's mother, and Yu Xiaodie followed. They were not running away, but just wanted to find more listeners for their stories. The three of them were like explaining their crimes in front of the Buddha. Every step they took, they talked about a bad thing they had done, and every street they walked, they talked about an innocent person they had killed.
The officer wanted to stop them at first, but the thought was suppressed as soon as it came to his mind.
They couldn't stop him. There was no reason to stop him. The Yu family members went crazy and confessed their crimes. What a good thing! They didn't have to confront each other in court, and the prefect didn't have to look for evidence. It was great that they could explain everything clearly. After they finished, they arrested the people and took them back to sign the covenant. They would imprison those who should be imprisoned and execute those who should be executed. It was quick and clean, and no one would be delayed.
There is one thing that is more important than the Yu family members who ran away, and that is Fourth Miss Ye. Fourth Miss Ye is still in the mansion. These crazy people in the Yu family must not do anything to hurt people when they are crazy, otherwise they will not be able to report to their superiors!
So the two of them crawled into the Yu Mansion and searched the entire front yard, but they didn't even see the shadow of Ye Wenyan.
There was a timid concubine's daughter in the Yu family who cried and said, "Fourth Miss Ye turned into a puff of white smoke and flew away! The strong wind just now was caused by Fourth Miss Ye. Fourth Miss Ye is also a ghost! It's so scary! Woo——"
The officer rushed over and slapped her in the face, "Shut your mouth! Where did the ghost come from? If there really are ghosts in this world, they live in the hearts of you Yu family members! Okay, stay in the mansion honestly. If I hear you say something useless again, I will ask someone to sew your mouths shut! Don’t you see who you are? How dare you talk about the Fourth Miss Ye?" The Yu family members didn’t dare to say a word, and the concubine’s daughter just cried and was afraid, but didn’t dare to say another word.
The gate of the mansion was closed again, and no one knew where the seal had been blown away. The two officials simply borrowed a pen and ink from someone else and wrote a big "sealed" character directly on the gate of the Yu Mansion. Then one of them returned to the yamen to report the situation and sent someone to inquire where Ye Wenyan had gone.
The three members of the Yu family walked all the way from Wuqian Lane to Shuntian Street, and then from Shuntian Street to the south and north of the city. They spent an afternoon walking through every corner of the inner city of Lin'an, and even strolled around the street in front of the palace gate.
Master Yu talked about how he used his position as the head of the Ministry of Justice to collect money and change the books. He talked about how he conspired with merchants to smuggle official salt. He said that he had a lot of money at home but didn't dare to spend it ostentatiously, for fear that the government would notice him and track him down. He also talked about how he favored his concubine and killed his wife, and how he tried his best to suppress his wife and daughter. In order to raise the status of the concubine and the concubine's daughter, he let the concubine deliberately throw herself into Ye Feiyu's arms, so as to blackmail Ye Feiyu and let him marry both daughters into the first-rank general's mansion. The concubine also talked about her own crimes, and she mostly talked about the backyard. For example, in the years she entered the mansion, she had drugged the eldest lady several times, causing her to have a miscarriage once, and causing the eldest lady to fall into the water twice. She had withheld the eldest lady's silver and let her daughter snatch the eldest lady's clothes. She also said that she had killed many maids, some because they spoke to the eldest lady, some because they knew too much about her, and some simply because they didn't like her.
People are shocked to hear about the murder cases, but none of them is more exciting and vivid than the story told by Miss Yu Xiaodie.
Yu Xiaodie first talked about her affair with a wealthy young man from the outer city, because her aunt said that she was a concubine's daughter and would not be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future. It would be better for her to stick with a wealthy family from the outer city. Even if she could not get power in the future, at least she could get money.
She said that the rich young men in the outer city were proud to marry the women in the inner city, so they didn't care whether they were legitimate or illegitimate, and they would take the bait. In order to keep the young man's heart, she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and showed her kindness in every way. Except for the last step of the wedding night, she gave all the rest of what she could give, letting the young man take advantage of her. Of course, the young man also gave her many benefits, such as banknotes, jewelry, and whatever she wanted. He also told his family that he would come to the Yu Mansion to propose marriage, and the betrothal gifts he prepared were also very generous. He also promised that she would be the first wife in the future.
But just a few days ago, her parents gave her advice again, saying that she should seduce Ye Feiyu and marry into the Ye Mansion in the future. They also said that they should find a way to squeeze Yu Xuanji out and let her be the principal wife.
She wanted to marry into the general's mansion so much that she designed a scene of falling into the water. The maid was also sent by her to invite Ye Feiyu, and she just waited for Ye Feiyu to show up and then threw herself into his arms.
What do you mean by disheveled? Ye Feiyu didn't do anything to her. She pulled it down herself. Ye Feiyu didn't touch her at all from beginning to end. She was the one who did all kinds of things to Ye Feiyu. She took advantage of Ye Feiyu.
In addition, she also had a murder on her hands. She killed a concubine after her father was taken in. Because the concubine was young and beautiful, and compared to her aunt, she plotted to kill the concubine and the concubine's newborn child, who was less than half a year old. This afternoon, everyone was exhausted and happy. No matter whether they were people from the inner city or craftsmen from the outer city, everyone put down their work and simply did nothing, and followed these three people around the street. After walking around the east, south, west, north and center, they heard the whole story of the Yu family, and they could even compile a book about it.
The craftsmen in the outer city could not help but sigh. They thought that a sixth-rank official in the inner city could have such a big show. What would the families of the first, second, and third-rank officials be like? This was too scary. It was indeed better to divide the inner and outer cities. Everyone lived their own lives and no one cared about anyone else. The girls in their family could never marry into the inner city official residence, otherwise they would die without knowing how.
Finally, the Yu family finished speaking, and the police came forward and escorted them all to Lin'an Prefecture.
Because the three men had murders on their hands and had confessed to their crimes, there was no need for a trial. The prime minister simply wrote the evidence and gave it to the three men to sign. The execution was scheduled for noon three days later.
It was not until this moment that the three of them came to their senses, having fainted out of fright.
At that time, Ye Wenyan was lying on the roof of King Chen's new mansion, holding a rabbit leg given to her by Feng Zhaolian in her hand. She looked left and right, hesitating and not knowing how to eat it.
The other leg was in Feng Zhaolian's hand. Princess Guiyue was eating it with great relish, and she would stop from time to time to look down on her: "The great Northern Qi is so vast and rich in resources. You can't have never eaten a rabbit leg before? Do you need me to teach you how to eat it?"
Ye Wenyan shook his head: "I don't need you to teach me, I know I should eat it with my mouth, but the problem is that I can't do it. If this is a chicken leg, I might eat it faster than you, after all, I'm really hungry. But the problem is that it's a rabbit, and you even described to me how cute it was when it was alive, with pure white fur and light pink ears. How do I eat this?"
"Just eat it the way you want to eat it!" Feng Zhaolian had no psychological pressure at all. "Ayan, you just think too much. No matter how cute it is when it is alive, it is just delicious food after it is ripe. Just like rice, it is also very cute when it grows in the field, but after it is ripe, it is just rice."
"..." How can rice be the same as rabbit? She was determined not to eat it, and stuffed the rabbit leg in her hand back to Feng Zhaolian, "You eat it yourself, I really can't. Otherwise, go find me some other food, chicken, duck, pig, cow, mutton, anything is fine."
Feng Zhaolian: "This morning the cook in the mansion brought a little curly lamb, only a few months old. I gave it a bath myself, and it bleated so much fun. If you like lamb, I'll go and kill it now. Do you want to roast or stew it?"
Ye Wenyan: "...Are there any vegetarian ones?"
"Stir-fry two side dishes?" Feng Zhaolian finished eating a rabbit leg, threw the bones under the big tree below, and started to deal with the other one. "I don't know how to cook vegetarian dishes, how about I call the chef to stir-fry them for you? But wouldn't that make too much noise? The chef is not afraid of you coming, but if Quan Qinghua finds out, you two better not fight again."
She was puzzled. "You roasted and stewed the lamb, aren't you afraid of upsetting Quan Qinghua?" "Of course I'm not afraid! He knows I like to eat meat, so even if I alarm him, he will just think I want to eat it myself. But stir-fried vegetarian dishes are different. I'm a carnivore, and if I suddenly get up in the middle of the night to eat vegetarian food, it would be strange if he doesn't get suspicious."
Ye Wenyan nodded, "Forget it, I'll just starve, but don't alarm the Fourth Prince. He hates me to the core now, I think I have to stay out of his sight for at least half a year, otherwise he will kill me."
"Then keep a low profile and don't provoke him." Feng Zhaolian said, "Ayan, don't come to the Chen Palace anymore in the future. Quan Qinghua is moody and cold. No one knows what he is thinking all day long. And he has something hidden in his heart, which seems to be very important to him. It is a dead end that he can't get out of, so you should try to have less contact with him. Ayan, I am about to return to the moon, and I am really worried about you..."
