Chapter 1433: Smoke Rises 254

d Dugu Yan tolerate this He would sooner or later rebel."Dugu City and Feng Lingxi had the same idea, which was why Empress Cen would tolerate her in every way possible, all for the sake of the so-cal...When Tao Su recognized him, Old Man Yuan Xiu blushed and said, "Oh, don't call me a divine doctor, divine doctor. I'm just an old man with some medical skills. I can only bring the dead back to life. I don't dare to be called a divine doctor." 。“

This face is so smug, but Yuan Xiu's words left Feng Lingxi both amused and exasperated. 。When she met her master, he was just like that. 。"This junior, Tao Su, pays his respects to Doctor Yuan Xiu. Today, I may have offended you, please forgive me, Doctor Yuan Xiu." 。" You're welcome. " 。"Yuánxiū pinched his beard, wearing a smug look as he stared at Fēng Língxī. Fēng Língxī, however, had a bored expression on her face. Her master's smug demeanor was only for show in front of others; she didn't fall for it anyway. " 。But Tao Su was so excited that he hurriedly greeted Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, to receive him well. 。Feng Lingxi took shelter in the mountain cottage, and Tao Su told him about killing the corrupt county magistrate. It happened between April and May last year when a flood struck the town where these people lived. The townspeople were displaced and had nowhere to go, so they fled to the outskirts of the city. Upon learning that a large number of refugees were stationed outside the city, the county magistrate sent people to drive them away. 。These refugees had nowhere to go and were driven out, many starving and dying of disease. The county magistrate wasn't satisfied with this; he wanted to expel them all from his jurisdiction but was afraid that they would expose him if they left. So, he decided to drive them into the mountains. At first, there were only a few hundred people, but as time went on, many died or were injured. Not only that, the cruel county magistrate took away the young and beautiful girls, favoring them before selling them into slavery. 。...and that's when he found out about it. 。Tao Su was originally the son of a wealthy family in that county town. He grew up with his master on the mountain since childhood. That day, he went down the mountain intending to return home, and met someone from Qing... 。 。The displaced girl told him of this after being rescued. Tao Su wanted to stand up for the refugees, but the county magistrate beat him to it, selling them into slavery. 。The woman of the building dealt with him cleanly and took the opportunity to retaliate against his family. 。During the night, over a hundred people in the Tao family were killed. They spread lies claiming it was bandits who did it, robbed the Tao family's wealth, and slaughtered his entire family. 。Not only that, before he could go to the county magistrate for revenge, that dog of a magistrate had him wanted throughout the city, claiming he was colluding with major highway robbers to... 。He had pillaged and murdered the entire Tao family. Since he left the Tao residence at a young age, there was no one to prove his identity. He was left at the mercy of that corrupt county magistrate who covered up the truth and fabricated charges against him. 。 Tao Su was so angry that she took advantage of the fact that the dog county magistrate went to visit the kilns. She disguised herself as a man and killed the dog county magistrate, escaping the city and hiding in the mountains where the refugees were. Seeing these helpless refugees, she led them to this place. 。“Dog official!” Yuan Xiu Shenyi, hearing Tao Su’s words, angrily shouted out. Tao Su lowered his head, “One hundred and ten lives are lost because of me, Tao Su. If I don't kill him, how can I face my parents” 。Tao Su mentioned the past, his eyes reddened. 。Had I not returned then, perhaps the Tao family would have avoided this calamity. 。Feng Lingxi looked at Tao Su's sadness, her heart wasn't feeling good either. 。If it were her, she would also kill that dog of a magistrate at all costs, just like Tao Su. 。"Do you regret standing up for them" Tao Su shook his head, looking at the villagers outside. Looking at them now living, although it was because of them that his family had been destroyed, he didn't regret it. With such a corrupt official, the Tao family couldn't escape anyway. That official had been eyeing the Tao family's wealth for a long time. 。"Your parents will also be proud of you" 。"Feng Lingxi comforted him, someone like Tao Su who is so chivalrous and righteous, their parents must also be broad-minded people. 。"My parents won't blame me, but I did wrong them..." 。Tao Su clenched his fists, the pain in his eyes known only to him. 。“Didn’t the Imperial Court investigate this”Feng Lingxi was very puzzled. The Tao family had been exterminated, over a hundred lives were lost, this was a major event! Plus the county magistrate was killed, surely the court wouldn't just ignore it"The magistrate's superiors simply pinned everything on me. So, I became a wanted criminal by the imperial court. They say I colluded with bandits, that I killed one hundred and ten members of the Tao family for their wealth, and that I murdered the county magistrate to steal disaster relief funds.” 。"Scapegoat " 。“ Tao Su picked up the bowl beside him and took a big gulp. Every time, only drinking could soothe the wounds in his heart. But even so, he didn't blame heaven or people, he could only take the villagers to hide here, waiting for the day of vindication. ” 。When Feng Lingxi appeared, Tao Su, at first glance, believed her words. He didn't know why, perhaps it was her calm and composed demeanor. 。"I never thought there would be such injustice in Xigu Kingdom. You're really unlucky." 。" He smiled wryly, “I’ve gotten used to it." 。"Perhaps I came to Xigu Country for today after all." 。"Feng Lingxi glanced at Tao Su, "You still haven't changed your habit of meddling in other people's business. Since I met you today, I really have to take care of it." 。Compared to misfortune, Tao Su was so unfortunate. Going down the mountain and returning home, he encountered such a thing. Compared to him, Feng Lingxi felt that she was much luckier. 。If you can't do it, it doesn't matter. I believe that one day, I will be able to clear my name. It wasn't me who did it, and I won't admit to it. The hundred and ten lives of the Tao family will be known to the world, and it wasn't done by Tao Su. 。"Don't worry, I'll ask Master Lu to help me get justice for you. After all, your people robbed me today, it's just fate." 。It's been five years, and she can't keep hiding forever. Now Siyu and Siqi are all grown up, and she needs to re-evaluate her own life. In two years, Wan'er will return to the Yao tribe. She has to find Wan'er; at least, she owes it to her daughter to explain what happened five years ago. 。Tao Su looked at Feng Lingxi's distant thoughts, silent and unmoved. He saw Xiao Feng, saw her eyes, and he knew, Xiao Feng was a person with stories to tell. 。She was unwilling to tell him her full name. She probably didn't want him to know her identity. But being able to know the eldest son of the Lu family, she must also be someone important. Perhaps, she could truly be reborn here. 。 The guards at Lu Fu's mansion stopped the messenger before he could deliver Changming's letter. 。"Hurry, hurry, what's the rush""Butler, there is someone outside who wants to deliver a message personally to either the master or madam. They say it's very important." 。"

Hand it to me. " 。The steward's face fell, and he hurriedly took the letter from the guard's hand. He opened it and glanced at it, his expression changing drastically. He hurriedly took the letter and went inside. 。"Lu Hao, do you have any news about Xi'er Everyone says she's in Xigu Kingdom. You should get someone to find her! I don't care what methods you use, you must bring her back to me!" 。Lady Lu was beside herself with worry, ever since she learned Feng Lingxi had appeared in Xi Gu Guo. She couldn't calm down for a single day... 。She hadn't slept all night and had sent everyone out to look for Feng Lingxi, but they were still unsuccessful. This worry nearly drove her crazy. 。t's probably not that simple."It's just a nice way of putting things. The so-called "Sacred Lord" of the Yao clan is nothing more than a scapegoat. They want someone to take the blame for them. The p...
