Chapter 152 If I Have Never Seen the Light
Chapter 152 If I Have Never Seen the Light
Yun Yue carried Jiang Man on her back for nearly twenty minutes before arriving at the Jiang Mansion. The buildings in the mansion showed how glorious the Jiang Mansion once was.
But now, the mansion must have been in a mess when the house was ransacked. It was pitch black, and it made people feel sad.
"Which room is yours?" Yun Yue asked softly.
But the person on his back didn't respond, and Yunyue's heart skipped a beat.
He immediately asked Si Yin to help check: "Si Yin, can you please check on Jiang Man?"
Si Yin went forward and lifted her coat, only to find Jiang Man unconscious. She shone a lantern and discovered that her skirt was covered in blood.
"Master, she is unconscious and she is bleeding a lot!"
"Si Yin, hold her and follow me into the space!" Yun Yue said as she placed her hand on the birthmark.
After entering the space, Si Yin took Jiang Man over, and Yun Yue quickly cleaned up the dining table, spread a clean bed sheet on it, and used it as a temporary operating table.
Then Si Yin placed Jiang Man on the dining table.
Yun Yue then lifted up Jiang Man's skirt, bent her legs, and looked at her lower body. She could not help but stand there in a daze, with a storm in her eyes.
"These beasts!!!"
Si Yin took a look and wanted to pick up a knife and kill them all immediately.
Without time to think too much, Yunyue started the operation. The most urgent and most important thing was to save Jiang Man, and she would not let any of those beasts go!
Si Yin had never been an assistant, so he couldn't help much, so Yun Yue had to do it alone.
I don't know how long it took. Yun Yue sutured Jiang Man's wound. She bit her lip tightly while looking at the things on the operating tray.
"Master, she..."
"She's fine, but she... can never be a mother again..." In order to save her life, Yunyue removed her uterus.
Si Yin was silent.
In later generations, being unable to have children would not be a big deal for some women, and some would even be very happy about it.
But it’s different here. If you can’t give birth to a son here, you will be criticized. What’s more, if you can’t give birth to a child?
Due to the anesthesia, Jiang Man couldn't wake up for a while. Yun Yue asked Si Yin to go back to the village and tell Yu Xiyun and Jiang Yao to come over.
Then he returned to the government office.
At this time, Li Wanhua and Zhang Yuankai also came over and were waiting for him anxiously.
"Yue'er, it's done." Li Wanhua couldn't wait to share.
"You're doing great! But we're just getting started. There's still a lot of work to do."
"Brother Zhang, have your people close the city gates and prohibit entry or exit for three days. Also post this notice and have literate people stand next to it and read it to the people." As he said this, he took out the notice that had been prepared long ago.
Zhang Yuankai took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but bow to Yunyue in admiration.
"Wanhua, there is a vacant lot in the city. It was designated by Prefect Lin as the place where he was going to build a new government office. You guys clean it up and build a high platform. It will be useful in the morning."
"Yes!" Li Wanhua replied.
"At tomorrow's meeting, we need to send people to maintain order. If anyone disrupts the meeting, we will arrest them all without mercy. But we must not harm anyone's life."
"Yes!"
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work." Yun Yue took out another silver note and gave it to Zhang Yuankai.
"It's cold, and it's almost dawn. Buy some hot food for everyone to warm up."
"No need, Mr. Yue. I haven't used up the banknotes I gave you last time." Zhang Yuankai refused.
"Take it first, we'll talk about it later."
"Okay, I'll thank Master Yue on behalf of my brothers."
Then everyone dispersed one by one.
"Si Cheng, bring over the people we just arrested, including the staff of Prefect Lin, his attendants, and the clerks of the various offices. I have something to ask them. If there are any maids or servants in the mansion, interrogate them clearly, and let those who have not done anything bad go."
Si Cheng nodded and asked his men to bring people. Soon, eight or nine men who were tied up tightly were brought to Yunyue.
Yun Yue looked at these people with different expressions and said in a cold voice: "You followed Prefect Lin to help the tyrant, the officials and the bandits colluded and were in cahoots with each other. It would not be unfair for me to kill you now."
"Bah, you little thieves, if you dare to rebel and kill the imperial officials, you will never live!"
Before he could finish his words, Yun Yue winked and Si Cheng stabbed him directly. Blood splattered on the others.
"Say it, say it again! Is there anything else?" Yun Yue raised her eyebrows disdainfully.
The people kneeling beside him were all shocked. They never expected that he would be killed after just one curse. There was no pre-swing? Isn't it normal to say a few nice words or threaten them first?
Suddenly they all begged for mercy out of fear.
"Master, please spare me, master, please spare me! We were all forced to do this. He is the prefect and we cannot disobey his orders!"
"Yes, please let us go!"
"I know a lot of Magistrate Lin's secrets! I'll tell you all!"
"..."
Yunyue then nodded with satisfaction.
Let them tell what they know one by one. Then let Si Cheng take people to get the files and search for the stolen goods of Prefect Lin.
That night, Yunyue didn't feel sleepy at all.
The power of a corrupt or bad official is enormous, enough to cause tragedies to countless individuals.
During the five years that Mr. Lin served as prefect, there were countless unjust and wrong cases.
The money seized was even more than the taxes he paid to the court.
Three years as a clean official, one hundred thousand silver coins. This is not just talk. One hundred thousand is too little.
Yun Yue leaned back in the chair angrily and rubbed her aching head. While no one was paying attention, she entered the space and looked at Jiang Man again, her mind full of thoughts.
This is the situation of a small state capital. If I want to seize this world and change the people of the world, can I... do it?
If I had never seen the light, perhaps I would not be afraid of the darkness. But I have felt the light. I cannot flow with them...
She had no other way out except to break through the darkness!
……
Seeing that the day was about to dawn, Yunyue prepared to return to the Jiang Mansion and settle Jiang Man there. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when Jiang Yao came later.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the government office, he saw Si Yin driving towards him in a carriage.
"I'm back!" Yunyue hurried up.
"Yes." Si Yin jumped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain.
"Yue'er."
"master."
"Mr. Yue."
Many people got off the carriage one after another. Yun Yue looked around. In addition to Yu Xiyun and Jiang Yao, whom she asked Si Yin to notify, Song Li, Lingyao, Song Luo and others were all there, and they also brought a few assistants.
Even Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang came.
"Why are you all here?"
"Mr. Yue, you have just taken over the prefecture and there are too many things to do. I don't think you can handle it. Fortunately, I have been an official for so many years, so I can still help you." Huang Shide smiled and stroked his beard. Now he also called Yunyue like the people in the village.
Her ability often makes people forget her gender. Huang Shide admires her very much. Not to mention women, even if he, a man, were asked to do what she did, he would not be able to do it well.
Before meeting Crown Prince Xiao Yinmo, he had never thought of rebellion.
Now that he knew Yunyue's identity and his daughter was one with them, he convinced himself.
Rebellion? Nonsense! Our Crown Prince's Consort just wants to take back what belongs to her!
Yunyue's restless heart calmed down the moment she saw them.
He bowed to Huang Shide and others.
"Thank you, Uncle Huang. I'm having a headache, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief with you guys here."
"Look at what you are saying! We are all family! Helping you is helping ourselves."
Huang Shide then took his wife into the government office and went to work.
Jiang Yao stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Master Yue, my sister, my sister..."
"Your sister is fine for now. I have placed her in the Jiang residence. You guys come with me."
Yunyue took them to the carriage. When they arrived at Jiang's house, Yunyue asked Jiang Yao and Xiaoyan to wait at the door for a while. She said she wanted to check on Jiang Man first.
Jiang Yao nodded with red eyes.
In the carriage, Yun Yue told Jiang Man everything, including the fact that her uterus had been removed.
He is Jiang Man's only relative and he has the right to know about her condition.
Jiang Yao had already guessed what would happen to his sister if she entered the Lin residence, but he did not expect it to be so tragic.
A grown man finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped himself in the face and cried in front of Yun Yue and the others in the carriage.
