Chapter 205 Taboo
The hotel was closed before the young man had a hiccup.
"I'm going back. I'll sleep tonight, and I can take the helm tomorrow. You two go upstairs to bed. Don't forget what I said." The young man patted Ji Liunian on the shoulder very righteously, and Ji Liunian was shocked.
Ji Liunian and Weibai went upstairs. Because they were not used to it well on the boat, neither of them had a good rest. Now they are full of wine and food, and they fall asleep as soon as they get to the pillow. The next day, Ji Liunian and Weibai woke up at noon and saw the bright sunshine as soon as they opened their eyes.
"Let's go downstairs and eat." Ji Liunian touched his wallet and his stomach. He was a little hungry.
After eating, the two of them planned to go out for a walk, but were stopped by the shopkeeper.
"Two sons, I don't know how many days you will stay here?"
"This is not necessarily true. We will tell you in advance. Don't worry." Ji Liunian wants to leave.
"Wait a minute, I see that you two are outsiders. I don't know where you are going?"
"We... Let's go to Qingfeng Mountain, the shopkeeper. Although we are outsiders, the taboo young man at the helm here has told us. Don't worry."
The shopkeeper's face smiled.
"That's good, that's good, then you guys go. Take valuable things on your body. Although the overall folk customs here are very good, there are also some petty thieves. The small shop is small, and you can't afford to pay for something.
"Don't worry." Ji Liunian felt that the people in Qingfeng Town were very talkaty.
Ji Liunian took Weibai to climb the mountain. There were many people at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. Ji Liunian bought some food from the hawker and went up with Weibai. The mountain was very quiet, and the sound of birds was particularly clear.
"This is a good place. The mountains and rivers are beautiful. It would be good to enjoy your old age here." Ji Liunian said with a smile.
"You haven't reached this time yet. Maybe you are really old and afraid of loneliness, haha." Weibai felt that the trees here were lush and gloomy at noon.
"Oh, my God, there are really snakes." Ji Liunian jumped up. She was going to sit on the stone, but she found the snake squeaking letters next to her.
"Let's go. I feel that this place is more and more strange." It's been a waste of time to pull the season.
"Do you want to worship her three times?" Ji Liunian remembered what the young man said yesterday.
Weibai is a person who is afraid of death and quickly said, "I'd rather believe it than nothing. Let's worship it. Anyway, I won't lose anything." So Wei Bai took the lead to worship. Ji Liunian felt fun and also worshipped three times.
"Miss, are you still going up?" I asked in surprise.
"Since you are here, you can't leave just because you met a snake, can you? Let's go up and have a look. Maybe there is another different scenery at the height.
"I'm afraid. I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain. Come down quickly." He said in vain.
Ji Liunian saw Wei Bai's appearance and was not interested at all, so he accompanied her down the mountain and went shopping together.
"Oh, I really can't see a woman here, not even an old woman. Miss...Son, what do you think these women are doing at home?
Ji Liunian refers to a vendor selling cloth.
"See? These should be made by women. Even if they don't go out, they still work at home. The two slipped a few corners and saw some delicious and interesting things. Weibai is full of interest, and Ji Liunian feels that it is not interesting at all.
"Miss, be careful..." Wei Bai exclaimed, and Ji Liunian quickly turned around and saw a horse rushing towards her. Ji Liunian quickly dodged. Unexpectedly, many people ran towards the two of them with knives and swords.
"They are women, arrest them quickly..."
In vain, Ji Liunian pulled her to run away. Running, I can't walk in vain. The following team is getting stronger and stronger.
"Miss, run away by yourself. Leave me alone. Go quickly." Wei Bai shook Ji Liunian's hand away and sat down.
"No, I can't leave you alone." Ji Liunian picked up Wei Bai and kept rushing forward.
Finally, Ji Liunian also felt that his feet were floating and he was about to fall down, but the people behind him were chasing him.
"Miss, you left me away. It's my fault. I'll bear it alone. I can't involve you..." Wei Bai cried.
Ji Liunian intentionally tripped over a stone, and the two were soon surrounded by people from Qingfeng Town.
"What a boldness. Both of them are women. They dare to walk on the street in broad daylight. It's simply lawless. We beat the two of them to death..."
Suddenly, a bloody wind rushed over, and Ji Liunian blocked Wei Bai with his own body.
"Miss, miss, go away, go away quickly. Fly, leave me alone..." Wei Bai cried.
"Come on, I'm the queen, I'm the queen of Dali, and I'm here to experience the people's feelings. If you kill me, the whole Qingfeng Town will not live." Ji Liunian shouted loudly. They stopped together.
"Call your county magistrate to come out, hurry up. I'm the queen." Ji Liunian endured the pain and took out the gold medal around his waist, and they were immediately shocked.
"Is this true?" A man took the gold medal, bit it with his teeth, and then handed it to Ji Liunian.
"You don't know Mount Tai. She is the queen today. Now you dare to attack us with a private visit." Only now did Wei Bai know that Ji Liunian brought out the gold medal.
"Let's first..." They gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Okay, we won't kill you two for the time being and send you to the government. If you deceive us, we will still kill you and throw you to the river to feed the fish."
Ji Liunian finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they were more barbaric, both of them would die.
After receiving the news, the county magistrate quickly ran out, looked at the gold medal, and quickly knelt down.
"I don't know how much the Empress came. Please forgive me." As soon as the county magistrate knelt down, many people knelt down.
"Help us both in quickly." Ji Liunian felt that he was about to faint and finally supported it until this moment.
The next day, Wei Bai came to see Ji Liunian early in the morning.
"Miss, you are too stupid. How can you cover me with your own body? I'm just a maid. How can you do it?" Wei Bai is both moved and ashamed.
"You are not a maid now, and you are also my sister-in-law. Since I brought you out, I should protect you. Hey, we also worshipped three times when we saw that snake. Why can't we avoid the disaster of blood and light? Ji Liunian said with a wry smile.
The county magistrate also came in and gave a big gift to Ji Liunian.
"Get up, I don't blame you at this time. It was our negligence. Originally, we knew something about the customs here, but we still made taboos. I'm sorry.
The county magistrate was originally here to accept the punishment, but he didn't expect Ji Liunian to self-criticize and apologize to him. He was a little flattered.
"It's Weichen's fault. These stereotypes should have been abolished a long time ago, but the local people opposed it very much, so I didn't report this. Qingfeng Town has several senior officials. It was originally a good place for outstanding people, but I didn't expect that these customs have been passed down for thousands of years. The county magistrate lowered his head.
"In that case, let's abolish it now. Those women locked up at home are so pitiful that they have no freedom at all.
The county magistrate was a little embarrassed and knelt down.
"Please ask the emperor to send some guards, otherwise with the power of Weichen and these soldiers, she can't resist those opponents at all. In fact, I have tried my best, but I haven't succeeded.
"Get up, I think you are also a good official. I will release the carrier pigeon as soon as possible. The emperor receives the news that he will definitely deal with this matter. The local people are irritable, and this matter has to be dealt with slowly, mainly with education and punishment as a supplement.
Ji Liunian and Weibai lived here for three days and went to another place by boat. Cheng Zun received the news that he sweated for Ji Liunian and knew that they must have suffered.
"I didn't expect that there were so many problems in this place. It seems that it's time to solve them. I didn't expect that Ji Liunian was working for me even if he was outside. Cheng Zun smiled bitterly and calculated that Ji Liunian had been away for more than ten days.
