Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

The emperor glanced at them and found that these were the people who had just spoken to the princess, and he roughly guessed what Lu Baichuan was going to say.

Several people stared at Lu Baichuan with displeasure and said, "We are just discussing the matter. As public officials, we should complain about innocent people. Why did General Lu say this?"

Lu Baichuan glanced at them and said with a faint smile: "So, these adults think that Princess Anping is innocent? But after this whole incident, who is the innocent person? There should be no need for Lu to remind you, right?"

"This……"

Several people had not gained the upper hand just now, and now they were being held down and beaten by Lu Baichuan, leaving no room for struggle.

But I heard Lu Baichuan continue: "The adults are right. As a public official, you should complain about innocent people. So in the eyes of adults, who is considered an innocent person? Is it someone who comes to ask for debts? The second brother who was beaten was an innocent citizen who was dragged into borrowing money from usury, and he was the girl and her family who died tragically!"

"These people are ordinary people in Beiyan. They have no power or even the ability to redress their grievances. These are the people who really need your help in redressing their grievances, instead of acting according to the circumstances and aiding the evildoers, causing irreversible consequences."

"But what did you, your lords, do? Regardless of whether they are innocent or innocent, you just arbitrarily accuse others. Just because the other party has a higher status than me, am I the one who must be punished? The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. Your lords should not ignore it. You understand this truth, but why did Lu see it differently?"

Although there was no help from Kang Tiezui in the court this time, Lu Baichuan was also very sharp-tongued. He could talk to all the heroes by himself and was so angry that no one in the court dared to reply.

It's not that these people can't defeat Lu Baichuan, it's mainly that the Anping Princess incident is too deceptive and untenable. They really don't have the old face to say anything.

The people who were named immediately came out to apologize to the emperor, saying that they were also thinking about the royal family's face and acted like this due to an oversight.

The emperor felt embarrassed when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and said: "This is not how the royal family protects its face! You all framed Lu Aiqing indiscriminately, and you will be demoted one level and fined for one year!"

This punishment is severe. It is easy to be demoted but difficult to be promoted. I don’t know how many years it will take to get back to my current position.

Moreover, the people in the court are most concerned about who is serving the food. I don’t know how miserable their life will be in the future.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but hate Lu Baichuan again. If Lu Baichuan hadn't sued them, they wouldn't have had to suffer this hardship. After all, the emperor didn't say anything at first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for this humble minister!"

Lu Baichuan was satisfied and bowed before resigning.

"Lu Aiqing is already here, so don't leave in a hurry. Why don't we listen to the court meeting together?"

The emperor invited with a smile, this attitude frightened the courtiers.

The emperor's mind has turned to the west. Even if there is not so much evidence about Princess Anping, it will not cause any trouble. He is really stupid to fight with Lu Baichuan.

Lu Baichuan was very considerate to the emperor and stood aside obediently, listening to the courtiers discussing court affairs. He only acted as a listener and did not talk much. Even when the emperor called him by name and asked him to say a few words, he just said what the lord just said. Excellent, not offensive at all.

The emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes while sitting on it. Lu Baichuan had gone out for a trip and he was so good at making peace with Xini.

After the next court session, Lu Baichuan left the palace and met the family of the victimized girl at the palace gate. He gave them a sum of money and said, "In the future, you can come back to live in the country. This money is enough for you to live a good life. As long as you are dedicated to doing good." , if you encounter trouble, you can go to the General’s Mansion for help.”

"Thank you General, thank you!"

The 50-year-old old woman was about to kneel down to him with tears in her eyes. Lu Baichuan supported her and said with a gentle attitude: "No need to be polite, live a good life in the future, Xiu Niang's spirit in heaven will also be happy for you."

Xiu Niang was the name of the murdered girl. "Yes Yes……"

The old woman wiped away her tears again. They should be happy that her daughter's murderer was punished and her daughter could rest in peace.

"Children at home should be educated and literate as much as possible, so that they can use knowledge to change their destiny in the future."

Looking at the grandson at the old woman's feet, Lu Baichuan added that the money he gave the child was enough to study.

"Okay, I will send the child to study according to the general's instructions."

When her son went to ask for an explanation for his sister, he was interrupted by someone sent by Yuhe. After that, the whole family was driven out of the capital. The son's injury was infected on the road. Not long after, everyone was gone. Now she is the only one left. An old woman, her daughter-in-law and this little grandson.

If Lu Baichuan hadn't sent someone to find them in time, their family probably wouldn't have survived for long.

After watching them leave, Lu Baichuan said to the boy beside him: "From now on, when I am not in the capital, you ask Manager Liu to visit this family every two or three months and help if there are any difficulties."

With only women and children at home, life would not be easy in this world.

"Yes."

Just after returning home, Lu Baichuan received the news that Yu He was seriously injured just yesterday, and today he will be beaten fifty times again, and he died without even taking a breath.

Princess Anping fell ill after she returned. She fainted immediately after hearing the news of her grandson's death. It looked like she didn't have a few days to live.

Lu Baichuan's mood was calm and there was no fluctuation. Evil people will be punished, and it is not a pity for such people to die.

After everyone in the family heard the news, they were worried that he would be targeted in the court, and gathered around to ask about the situation. Lu Baichuan looked at the family members who cared about him, and the sour emotions he felt just because of that poor family were instantly relieved. He smiled and said : "It's okay, the emperor punished Princess Anping and gave us a reward."

Mrs. Sun immediately bowed in the direction of the palace and murmured: "At critical moments, we need the Emperor's protection. Our Lu family is full of loyal people. We cannot let us be harmed by traitors!"

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, and a group of people walked into the yard. Lu Baichuan said: "Mom and dad, now that the matter in the capital has been settled, my son will return to Changzhou. We can't keep Jiu'er and Gou'er waiting for too long."

"Yes, yes, you should have gone back a long time ago. Your wife has just given birth and needs someone to take care of her. No one can take care of her better than you. You have to treat her well."

Mrs. Sun had no intention of staying at all, and wished she could let him go back now.

Lu Baichuan nodded. He came back in a hurry this time, but his wife and children were still in Changzhou, and nothing was as important as them.

"My son knows."

After that, the whole family began to prepare things for him to take back. The plan was to leave early tomorrow morning.

At this time in the palace, the emperor had just gone to court and went to the queen's place for lunch, when he saw a young eunuch coming to tell the emperor that the emperor and Concubine Liu were going on a trip and planned to follow Lu Baichuan to Changzhou first.

Well, I came here to inform him, not to ask for his opinion.

The emperor looked at the queen who also looked shocked, then looked at the fragrant food in his hand, and suddenly lost his appetite. (End of chapter)
