Chapter 122
"Miss, you have been bored in the courtyard for a long time, do you want to go out for a walk today?"

Xiaoqiu suddenly proposed to Lu Weimang who was shooting an arrow.

Lu Weimang withdrew his bow-drawing hand and looked at Xiaoqiu.Xiaoqiu explained with a smile, "The people who are to be dealt with by Master Hou these days have already been imprisoned, and those who resisted fiercely will be executed on the spot. Now is the right time to buy some specialties and bring them back to Kyoto. The carriage at Ximen is ready."

Lu Weimang nodded, "No wonder, I felt like there was an iron smell in the air a few days ago, so there was a killing outside."

Lu Weimang hung the bow and arrow in his hand on the wall, and sat under the flower tree next to the small school grounds.At this time, it has entered the dog days, but the scenery in the Jade Garden is very good, with pavilions, pavilions, high platforms and rockeries, and there is a breeze floating in the courtyard, so sitting under the flower trees, there is a cool breeze with water vapor blowing over, it is very pleasant Cozy.

Lu Weimang took a sip of the herbal tea and felt refreshed physically and mentally. Putting down the teacup, Lu Weimang suddenly asked, "Is there anyone outside the mansion asking to see me today?"

Xiaoqiu's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Ding told me to tell the lady the truth, I was still working with the hatchet in front of the lady. Indeed, Mrs. Su has been kneeling at the door for a long time, and there are some things that I don't understand. Common people, poor Mrs. Su is weak, she is watching the excitement around the door."

Lu Weimang smiled lightly, pity Mrs. Su for being weak, watching around?That's right, it's none of your business, don't expect others to stand up for you.In real life, Lu Weimang has never seen those passionate and chivalrous people in the story books.She thinks that even if there are such "chivalrous and righteous" people who stand out, most of them have a purpose.Where is Yuyuan and who lives in it? Although not many people in Yangzhou know the details, the common people have a consensus that it is not easy to mess with.Therefore, there are many people watching the excitement right now.If it were an ordinary place, not to mention anything else, Mrs. Su's weak posture could attract many people to stand up for her.

"I thought Su Tong's crime would implicate his family members, so it doesn't end there?"

Lu Weimang was a little curious.She said she didn't want to inquire, and she just did her own business in the mansion, and ignored the outside affairs, so Lu Weimang really didn't know about Su Tong's current situation.

"Su Tongjuan has not been in Yangzhou for a long time. He has no foundation and is frivolous. When he first came to Yangzhou City, he fought against the county guard. After being isolated by the county guard and Zhizhou, he changed his position and wanted to follow the county guard. The county guard was worried about this person, so he excluded him from the core. He was only asked to do some legal business on weekdays, and the others were still under test. I felt that I hadn’t made any serious mistakes, so I came here. The county guard and others were imprisoned for the crime of colluding with the barbarians and attempting to split the Daqian and become the emperor of the land. Su Tong was shocked by the sentence. This kind of crime of treason is next to it. It's a serious crime of stealing and beheading, but this Su Tong was lucky, he didn't get next to him, and our Marquis is not a person who is easy to kill, he just sentenced Su Tong to prison, and his family was not implicated."

Lu listened for a while, "It's really good luck for Su Tong to judge."

Xiao Qiu also curled the corners of her mouth, "Who says it's not?"

Lu Weimang was in a good mood at the moment, so he wanted to meet Mrs. Su. With such a wonderful husband, Mrs. Su should be very interesting.

But Lu Weimang was impatient with the messy people coming to his residence, so he simply took Xiaoqiu out to meet Mrs. Su.

"Following me in the mansion has been boring for a long time, let's go change our mood."

With that said, Lu Weimang took Xiaoqiu to the door.

Sure enough, there was a woman in white kneeling outside the door, with three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by many spectators.

"If you want to be pretty and be filial, the old saying really makes sense, doesn't it, Xiaoqiu."

Lu Weimang stood on the bluestone platform at the door, looking at Mrs. Su who was kneeling on the steps.

This Mrs. Su was much thinner than the last time Lu Weimang saw her. At this time, she was dressed in white, her hair was black and she didn't have any jewelry at all. She only had a small white flower on her temples, she looked very pretty, Coupled with crying red eyes, no matter how cold and hard-hearted people are, they will be moved by her, right?

The beauty was weeping, but due to the majesty of the black armored guards at the high gate of Yuyuan, no one dared to stand out. Now that a naive little girl, Lu Weimang, came forward, someone couldn't bear it anymore, and loudly complained for Mrs. Su, " This lady, this lady knelt outside the door for a long time, it's a big deal, for the face of others' apology, let's relax, let's forgive others, what do you think, Miss?"

When Lu Weimang is interested, he is easy to talk, so he cups his hands at the loud speaker, "I'm easy to talk, I'm always easy to talk."

The man's face relaxed, and he saw Lu Weimang turn his head to look at the lady, and said, "Madam Su came to Yuyuan today, why is it? There are too many people who died in Yangzhou city these days, and there is no coffin at home. Is it?" After speaking considerately, he turned his head and told Xiao Qiu, "Go and get the banknotes, you don't care how much you want, as long as you can buy a coffin. Death is the most important thing, no matter how much money you spend, you have to let the dead go to the ground for peace. No matter how big a mistake that person made in life, you can't be mean to others in matters of life and death."

After hearing this, Xiaoqiu struggled to hold back her laughter, but she still responded loudly, "Yes, Miss!"

Lu Weimang's voice was neither loud nor soft, but he was full of energy, and the onlookers could hear him clearly. At that moment, someone was shocked by Lu Weimang's "benevolence and righteousness", "Miss Gao Yi!" Someone shouted loudly.

Lu Weimang also bowed to the person who shouted, "It's easy to say."

Xiao Qiu also took the opportunity to cooperate and took out a few large-amount bank notes, and personally handed them to Mrs. Su who was already dumbfounded at the bottom of the steps but it was not her turn to speak. Just ask someone to come over and say, even though we only met once, our lady cares about money and will not care about a little money with you."

Those who didn't understand immediately persuaded, "I didn't expect this young lady to be so righteous, but just by meeting, she just took out a few hundred taels of silver. Ma'am, you can take it, who is not in trouble? Daddy, your family's funeral is important, this money, you can talk about it later when you have more money."

"Yes, take it. It's important to go to the funeral quickly."

"That's right, the supply of coffin shops in the city is in short supply these days, and the weather is so hot, so hurry up and order a coffin with the money, otherwise the dead at home will stink!"

...

The development of the matter was beyond Mrs. Su's expectation. She looked at the crowd, she couldn't say anything, she just kept waving her hands, crying softly, "I don't want money, don't give me money. No one in our family died, I'm here to beg Miss Lu to let my husband go!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Lu Weimang coughed dryly to ease the embarrassment, "Ha, ha, what did you say, blame me, seeing Mrs. Su kneeling in front of the door, I thought there was someone in your family..." Lu Weimang paused, "Hi, no Say, Xiaoqiu, quickly take back the money, don’t let Mrs. Su misunderstand, let’s throw money at people and gloat over others’ misfortune.”

Madam Su straightened up on her knees, and waved her hands, "No, no, Miss Lu is a good person, how could I misunderstand Miss Lu?"

As he spoke, he was afraid that he would not have a chance to speak again, so he said straight to the point, "Miss Lu, please let my husband go. He is young and inexperienced, and he did something wrong because he was deceived. He This man is pure and talented, as long as he is let go this time, he will definitely be an official and a new man in the future."

Madam Su's voice fell, and no one spoke.

The onlookers were afraid of embarrassment, after all, they made a mistake just now, so they dare not talk casually now.

Lu Weimang didn't speak either, just looked at Mrs. Su at the bottom of the steps with an incredulous expression on her face.

"Madam Su, do you know how big this big business is? How many people? How big is Yangzhou City? How many people are there in Yangzhou City?"

When Lu Weimang opened his mouth, Mrs. Su was speechless. She didn't know what Lu Weimang meant, so she pleaded in a low voice, "I don't know, I just know that my husband is my god, if he has something Three ups and two downs, my mother-in-law can't survive, and I can't survive either."

Lu Weimang said, "Dagan covers more than nine million square kilometers. After many years of war, the population is only about [-] million. This Yangzhou city covers more than forty square kilometers and has a population of more than half a million. Su Shizhao's first dynasty Winning, striding across the street on horseback, the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by His Majesty. His Majesty entrusted him with the prosperous Yangzhou City, hoping that he can monitor the place and protect the people. But what about Su Shizhao? They are all polite. He completely forgot his promise to His Majesty. He failed His Majesty and the people of Yangzhou City even more. Do you really not know what he did? What he thinks about every day What do you think, is he really concerned about the country and the people? Or is he jumping up and down for his own selfishness? It can be said that he has done everything except the business that he should do. If this is the case, then he should stop The judge will stay in this position any longer, because he is not worthy. Don't worry, His Majesty is merciful, and there is a high probability that he will not be executed. When he comes out of prison, he will have nothing to do, and it will not prevent you from staying together and flying together."

Mrs. Su opened her mouth after hearing Lu Weimang's words, but couldn't continue.What more?Apologize for your husband?As a general judge, he spends all day trying to find a way out, disregarding his own responsibilities, and His Majesty will not take his life, so there is a high probability that he will be demoted to a commoner, where is the injustice?
The onlookers also fell silent, and after a while, someone couldn't help but say, "Bah, dog official!"

"What's wrong?"

"Years ago, Du Xiangshen occupied my paddy field. I reported it to the yamen, but the officials didn't care about it. I heard people say that the general judge can take care of this matter, so I asked the general judge's yamen. I didn't see Tong San's face. The gatekeeper said that Master Tong San didn't come to the Yamen very often. After he finally stopped him, he waved his hand and said that the three to five acres of paddy fields in my house are not worth it. He shot it, and said that Du Xiangshen used ten acres of mountain land to compensate, and he did everything he could to satisfy me. In Yangzhou City, this one is the only one to pass the sentence? It deserves it! Let’s be demoted earlier, and the next one, maybe he can do something practical for us Son!"

Everyone was silent.

How can common people dare to talk about officials at will?Everyone dispersed in silence, not interested in watching the excitement anymore.

Lu Weimang also turned around and returned to the Jade Garden, Xiao Qiu followed behind Lu Weimang, turned his head and looked over when he entered the door, only Mrs. Su was left collapsed on the ground with a dazed expression.
