Chapter 132 Refer to the Imperial Edict of the Tang and Song Dynasties
"Uh..." I was a little embarrassed by what he said, and I quickly replied, "No, it's because I don't want to eat it, and I want to keep it and take it home."

"Oh, so it's like this." The old man followed everyone to the bow of the boat to join in the fun.

With the support of the matchmaker, the bride, Chen Yingniang, walked off the boat cautiously holding the hem of her skirt.

Among the crowd on the shore, there was a sudden sound of beating gongs and drums, and they drove towards the shore.

It turned out to be a very handsome, fair-skinned, bookish man, dressed in groom's official clothes, with a big red hydrangea hanging on his chest, riding a white horse to welcome the bride.

"Meng Lang..." the bride called out shyly.

Meng Chengjun flipped off his horse and quickly took Chen Yingniang's hand from the matchmaker's hand, "Baby girl..."

"Wow..." The crowd suddenly burst into applause, and the whole bank was so lively that it was like celebrating the New Year.

But just as Meng Chengjun was holding Chen Yingniang's hand and was about to walk onto the sedan chair, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from outside the village.

A group of officers and soldiers in armor, holding torches in one hand and spears in the other, rushed directly into the village, smashed the banquet, burned the red cloth, and even pushed other villagers who wanted to run to the ground.

The village, which was still laughing and laughing a second ago, was suddenly filled with screams of panic. Everyone fled, but one by one was caught back.

Chen Yingniang was so frightened that she threw herself into Meng Chengjun's arms, and the two of them pushed to the shore step by step, almost falling into the water...

Lin Sishen and I took advantage of the chaos and hid in a corner, our eyes widened in disbelief.

"Wow... Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

"This ghost show, don't you know after watching it?" Lin Sishen replied calmly.

I saw that the officers and soldiers had controlled the scene and suddenly made a way out of the crowd.

A figure swayed in front of everyone. He was wearing a tall hat and a majestic cloak. He had a white face, scarlet lips, and raised white eyebrows. He coughed twice pretending to be tall.

The white-browed eunuch spread out the edict, his upside-down eyes were full of condescending disdain, and he spoke in a high-pitched voice.

"Referring to the Tang and Song dynasties, my emperor's edict said: Chen Niyouliang, the enemy resisted the heavenly master, and the remaining nine clans should have committed crimes. There are many people who miss the old, the weak, women and children, and now they relegate the boat to live in Xin'an River."

"From then on, you are not allowed to live on the shore, you are not allowed to study and take exams, you are not allowed to wear long gowns, you are not allowed to wear shoes, and you are not allowed to make marriage promises with people on the shore. I hereby—"

The white-browed eunuch's arrogant cold eyebrow swept across the old and young women and children present, and finally stopped on Chen Yingniang and Meng Chengjun.

"Chen Ni Yingniang, who disobeyed the imperial decree and intermarried privately, what crime do you know?"

Chen Yingniang's complexion was pale, her heart was ashamed, and she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the eunuch for mercy.

"The prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin!"

"All of this is the baby's fault. The family of the nine surnames is a sinful person, so they are not qualified to go ashore to make a marriage agreement!"

"It was me who was so bold that I thought I could deceive my superiors and my inferiors. I seduced Meng Lang, my compatriots with nine surnames, and the villagers on the shore. I married them privately. If the Holy Majesty wants to kill and punish me, just come at me alone!"

Crying and crying, Chen Yingniang climbed directly to the feet of the white-browed eunuch, but was kicked away coldly by him.
