Conspiracy

Chapter 212

"This is Su Zhen, the Yamen of Siwei's Mansion. The government will send people later. You can tell them directly if you have any grievances. Remember to speak clearly. Don't dare to speak out because of fear. You must do your best to speak up. Express your needs and strive to get back the rights that belong to you!"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, thank you, my lord! You are such a good man!"

"Our grievances and injustices finally have a place to speak!"

"Yeah, I was really aggrieved before!"

Seeing their moved tears filled their eyes, wiping their tears with trembling hands, they knelt down to thank each other, Su Zhen hurriedly retreated to the side, and sideways helped an old man at the front.

"Old man, don't be like this. Anyway, believe in the law and justice! The imperial court will definitely protect you, and the wicked will be punished! Pay for your crimes and never let them get away with it!"

"Yes, yes! Folks, get up! Everyone, go back and rest, get ready to speak and wait for the officials to come, so that you can get justice."

After the villagers thanked them, they left one after another. One of the old people patted He Lan on the shoulder and told him to be careful of Huang Yi coming to make trouble again.

Jing Yao moved towards Su Zhen and said, "Su Zhen, you seem to be different from the rumors."

"Do you think I will kill Huang Yi and those people on impulse?"

"Mm! Yes! I have already checked. When you were not Shaoqing, you almost killed Xu Chong in the court of the Ministry of Punishment."

Su Zhen sneered at what she said, "That time I was forced to do nothing, and I had no choice but to come up with a bad plan to force them to stay. As for those village tyrants just now? Seeing how bad they are, maybe they have black hearts and blood. How dirty it is to splash on me! And I am not a bloodthirsty person, no matter how damned they are, they will be punished by the government."

To put it bluntly, Su Zhen actually didn't want to cause trouble anymore, and asked the Taifu's House and Su Tingye to take the blame for her.But if the other party pushes forward, don't blame her for being cruel!

He Lan listened to their conversation, and said, "The way of a gentleman, a gentleman means righteousness, and a villain means profit. Be strict with others and restrain yourself, be indifferent to fame and wealth, and cultivate your moral character. Don't be confused by rumors, don't be fooled by obsessions, and don't be fooled by rumors. Fear of life and death."

Su Zhen suddenly felt admiration for the man in front of her, "People in the world should distinguish right from wrong with a gentleman and a villain, but sometimes a hypocrite is often more terrifying than a real villain. A villain will bind others with moral ties, while a hypocrite is good at A hypocritical face, soliciting discord, sowing discord, doing all kinds of evil things, but still being sought after and praised."

"Yes, it's a pity that the world is unfair."

"Oh, don't talk about gentlemen and villains, I'm so hungry!" Jing Yao pursed her lips and rubbed her stomach, "Mr. He, do you have anything to eat?"

He Lan was amused by her appearance, and the desolation in her eyes disappeared, "Girl, there is still some flour in Xiaosheng's house. If the girl doesn't mind, Xiaosheng can make some sweet cakes for the two of you as a token of gratitude."

"Don't dislike it! Don't dislike it!"

Su Zhen sighed, "Brother He, I just reported my name below. This girl is my friend, her name is Jing'er."

"Okay, my lord and Miss Jing'er invite Xiaosheng to enter the room, but the room is a bit dirty"

"It's okay, we are guests from afar, we should go to the country and do as the Romans do."

He Lan took a step sideways and raised her hand to invite them into the room.

He Lan pushed open the wooden door of the thatched cottage, the sound of "creaking" was a little harsh.

After stepping in the door, they realized that the thatched cottage looked dilapidated from the outside, as if it could be blown away by the wind.But who would have thought that the sparrow inside is small but has all internal organs.

There is a water tank at the entrance, the wooden cover is half lifted, and it can be seen that it is filled with clear water, and a gourd ladle made of dried gourd shells floats on the water surface.

On the left is a simple stove, a few kitchen utensils are hung on the wall, a few vegetables and melons are placed on the table, and dry twigs are piled up in the corner to be used as firewood.

Not far from the stove is a small black wooden table with two benches facing each other. It should be homemade by visual inspection.

On the right side is a bed, the bed is covered with straw, and a layer of washed white cloth is simply spread on it.

The most valuable thing in this room is probably the books on the bookshelf that looks crumbling.Xiao Chuhong also uses the bedroom and the study together, but such a comparison can be said to be very different.

However, Xiao Chuhong is a military general, and all he studies are military books, and most of He Lan's bookshelves are the Four Books and Five Classics.

Su Zhen stepped forward and touched the bookshelf, it was clean without a trace of dust, it can be seen that He Lan really cares about it, and the degree of cherishing it is evident.

"Master Su, Miss Jing'er, sit down for a while, it will be fine soon."

"Mmm, thank you!"

"Then there is brother Laohe."

Su Zhen and Jing Yao sat at the table, watching He Lan skillfully busy in front of the stove, Jing Yao looked around and touched here and there bored.

He Lan skillfully separated the egg yolk from the egg white in front of the stove, then added fine sugar and sesame oil into the white flour, stirred it into a paste, scooped it up with a spoon and baked it in the stove.

Su Zhen asked casually, "Brother He, didn't you say that life is very difficult, but Brother He seems to be doing well?"

egg?sugar?flour?Oil?
According to the poverty level of the refugees, it would be good to have a meal, how could they afford these?
He Lan replied, "Yes, in the past two years, everyone has nourished a lot. There was a severe drought earlier, and the crops in the field died. Those days were really sad. People everywhere who eat weeds and bark for a living All are. As for this cookie, the raw materials are not expensive, and it can be stored for a long time, so you can store more at a time. Most of us eat this on weekdays."

"So, folks, it was quite difficult at the beginning, so how did you get over it?"

"Speaking of which, it is thanks to the good people in the capital city who often send people to help, otherwise everyone would not be able to survive."

"A good person? I heard that Miss Xiyan from Jiyuefang often used the money she earned from selling paintings to save your poor people. Is this true?"

Su Zhen noticed that He Lan's movements were sluggish, and then she took out the cookies from the oven, brushed them with oil and sprinkled sesame seeds, and then baked them in the oven.

"Of course it's true. Miss Xiyan is kind-hearted, but it's a pity that such a good person was killed because of her unlucky beauty."

After Su Zhen was silent for a while, she suddenly said, "She is not dead."

He Lan froze in astonishment at first, then smiled happily, "Really? Where is Miss Xiyan now?"

"We're just guessing. I came to your village this time to find out about Miss Xiyan."

"So that's the case, but Xiaosheng's knowledge of Miss Xiyan is just hearsay."

"Then what news does Brother He know? Can you tell me if you don't mind?"

　Age cannot be an umbrella for people to commit crimes, and the Internet is not a place outside the law.Be a person and act with tolerance, the way of a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and the way of a villain is a metaphor for profit.If you listen to both, you will be clear, if you only believe in one side, you will be dark.Respect the law and believe in justice, otherwise you will be severely punished!I hope everyone can be responsible for their words and deeds!
