Chapter 175 Reunion
"Master Hou, a letter from my in-laws said that Master Changfeng and the butler had already set off from Kyoto to Yongzhou when they sent the letter."

Lin Chen took the letter from Fuzhong and explained to Huo Jing.

Huo Jing is busy with official business at hand, Nuoda's Yongzhou defense line, he communicates with Feige through letters, and also with His Majesty in Kyoto, so there are so many letters between Dazhang and Huo's Mansion every day.

Lin Chen and Ding Yi divide the work and will help Huo Jing to classify and record the letters. There are traces to follow when doing things. This is the Huo family's consistent habit of doing things.

Now that Lin Chen got the letter from Lu's family, he immediately came to report to the young master and delivered the letter.

Huo Jing took the letter, read it and asked Lin Chen, "Has anyone from Kyoto received a letter?"

"The letter from the black armor guard who stayed in Kyoto two days ago has arrived. This matter was mentioned, and they sent two people to secretly protect it."

After Huo Jing read the letter, he nodded, "Now the river is frozen, they can only travel by horse-drawn carriage. The terrain from Kyoto to Yongzhou is flat, and there are no mountains and dense forests along the way. Two people should be enough. When they enter Yongzhou, then Report it to me."

"Here."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Huo Jing, "Don't let Madam know about this in advance, so as not to worry her."

Lin Chen understood that the carriage was traveling very slowly, and it was the first time that the young master of his in-laws was traveling alone, so he might have to spend more time on the road. If the young master Changfeng didn't show up in Yongzhou by the time, the wife would be thinking wildly.

"Here."

Lu Weimang was in the yamen, guarding her desk, and didn't know that the butler was coming to Yongzhou with Changfeng, so she just felt bored at this moment.

Due to Lao Qin's ethos, there are very few cases that require the involvement of the yamen, and most people's grudges are settled in the village.Moreover, because the field tax is small, there is no need for Lu Weimang to bother at all.As for the corvee service every winter, Lu Weimang didn't make any arrangements.She believes in the help of God for those who help themselves. In previous years, she needed repeated orders from the government to bring free corvees to repair water canals and roads, but this year there is no need.The roads have their own caravans that want to make money to level up the commercial roads to Jincheng. Lu Weimang just hired people to repair the roads near Jincheng. Naturally, there is no need to recruit free laborers to do the rest.She likes to do things with real money and equivalent exchange.

Therefore, in the state government office, everyone is busy, with full-time jobs and part-time jobs. In short, after Lu Weimang took office, the people in the state government office spontaneously became busy. Even Qi Hongxi, who was self-supporting, also volunteered to go out to supervise the work. You must be worthy of the monthly salary given by Lu Zhizhou, right?

In Nuo Da's yamen, Lu Weimang was drowsy.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"what sound?"

Lu Weimang woke up from the stare and sat up straight.

The yamen guard at the gate immediately came to report, "My lord, someone is beating the drum to complain!"

"?" Lu Weimang didn't react for a while.

After realizing that he had encountered the first lawsuit in his career as an official, Lu Weimang almost jumped out of his chair in excitement.

"Hurry up!"

In the silent yamen, after an unknown number of years, the high-pitched voice of the yamen servant resounded, "Xuan, the plaintiff is in court!"

In the solemn and solemn yamen, footsteps sounded, and then, a yamen servant brought the plaintiff to Lu Weimang's yamen.

Sitting behind the desk, Lu Weimang looked at the two people kneeling in the hall, one old and one young, judging from their similar looks, it was not difficult to see that they were two mothers and daughters.

"Who is in the hall, and what are you telling me?"

Lu Weimang patted the gavel and asked lightly.

The old lady in the hall didn't have the awkwardness and embarrassment of ordinary people seeing officials, but her daughter trembled when she heard the sound of the gavel.

"The old woman wants to sue her two sons for being unfilial. This is the pleadings."

As soon as these words came out, the yamen servants were stunned, and immediately whispered to each other, talking endlessly.

The yamen servants in the prefecture's yamen are all locals of Jincheng, because Jincheng has always been self-governing, so there is no need for yamen servants to come forward on weekdays.It was also the first time they stood in court, and it was also the first time they heard a mother sue her son.

"These two sons, don't even think about raising your head in the future."

A young man whispered.

The voice was obviously heard by the old lady in the hall, and her expression turned ugly, but she still kept her neck still.

Lu Weimang glanced at the talkative yamen servant, then looked at the old lady in the hall.

"Old madam, it is written in your petition that your husband passed away a month ago and has not been buried yet. You are suing your two sons because you want them to pay for the funeral, right?"

"Yes!"

There was no antecedent and no consequence. The certificate seemed to be written by a literate person in the village, and it was not detailed. Lu Weimang looked at the old woman's daughter.

"Tell me about it in detail."

The daughter held her mother's arm tightly and tried to calm down, "It's my lord. The thing is like this. We are from Zhangjia Village, Ge Town, at the foot of Qilian Mountain outside Jincheng. My father was born and raised in this village, but he The two sons who went to the city were confessed, the eldest brother and the third younger brother. Since I can remember, my father has never had a day off, either working in the fields, or going out to work to find money. Brother Er and younger brother married a daughter-in-law and brought a large family to the city to live. But within a few days of good times, Er's father died suddenly last month. In Zhangjia Village, the old man dies and returns to his roots. Great burial. But Brother Er and younger brother pushed each other, and the other pushed this. No one was willing to send father back to the village for a big funeral. They insisted on buying a thin coffin in the city and burying it outside the city. There is a wilderness Damn, it's not that we have no roots, how can we be buried there, my mother stopped them from burying my father, and stayed with them for more than a month. Seeing that the old man's body couldn't stand it anymore, there was no other way, so I came to sue the government Please, Master Guan, rule over the two heartless brothers of Er, and let Er Niang bring Er Dad back to the village for a grand funeral."

The young woman spoke with an accent, but she tried to speak official Chinese as much as possible, hoping that Lu Weimang could understand her.

After hearing this, Lu Weimang made guesses and understood what she meant. Before he could speak, the head catcher under the hall spoke first, "Lady under the hall, you should go to the old village chief of the clan to solve these housework matters, No way, there is still the head of the village, how can we report these trivial matters to the yamen. If our lord accepts your case, in the future, whoever throws a chicken, and whoever waters the fields first, will not be judged by the lord ? Where can the adults be so busy?"

After training the women in the hall, the head catcher looked at Lu Weimang again, "My lord, according to the usual practice, this case is not within our jurisdiction. You are new here, so don't lose face. If they want someone to settle the case, they can get the village elder Come, break them off."

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, which has been the case since ancient times.Moreover, there is no injustice or injury in this case, there is no way to solve it, and the old woman looks clean and round, and no one has treated her harshly. Is it true that I should call the two sons of the old woman over and ask them why they didn't bring her to the hospital? Send back to the village?
As soon as the catcher's words fell, before Lu Weimang made a statement here, the young woman said, "Now our family is run by brothers, and the village head and clan elders only listen to brothers' concerns, and don't care about Erniang's at all. idea."

The old woman stood up after hearing what the head catcher said, "You are talking about housework, so you are willing to take care of this old woman who was killed at the gate of your yamen?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was silent.
