Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 510 Born to be a Good Person

Zhang Luan seemed like an easy-going old man next door, and seemed very easy to talk to.

Moreover, he seemed to have come here specifically to seek welfare for the criminal officials of the Ming Dynasty. He could pardon the death penalty for capital crimes, reduce the sentence for serious crimes, and exempt minor crimes from punishment.

Even Zhu Ji was thinking that if you were here, the criminals of the Ming Dynasty would have hope in the future. They are all waiting for you, Master Zhang, to redress their grievances!
When Zhang Luan had completely sorted out the charges against the first batch of officials, Zhu Ji could no longer hold back and respectfully placed the case files of Liang Fang, Wei Xing and Peng Hua in front of Zhang Luan.

Zhang Luan frowned and asked, "Commander Zhu, what do you mean by this...?"

Zhu Ji smiled flatteringly and said, "Mr. Zhang, you have dealt with all the small matters, so you wouldn't mind dealing with the big ones as well, right? These are all unresolved matters that have been dragging on for a long time. There are fierce debates in the court, and it is also a torture for the criminals. It is better to close the case as soon as possible so that everyone can feel at ease."

"This... since it's a big deal, we have to consider it slowly."

Zhang Luan evaded the question, "I will take care of it myself. Commander Zhu, please do not rush. My son... is leaving!"

Having said that, Zhang Luan no longer wanted to waste time talking to Zhu Ji.

Do I, Zhang, really need your guidance, Zhu Ji, when doing things?

I now have sufficient reasons to suspect that you are in collusion with Liang Fang and others, and you are trying to cover up your guilt by hastily closing the case, but I just don't want to argue with you!
Since my emperor son-in-law has delegated power to me, I can only do it if I say so. If I don't want to do it, I won't interfere even if you force me. Who told me to only listen to my youngest son?
"Zhang Guozhang, please look at me..."

Li Hua, who was sitting next to him, heard that Zhang Luan was leaving and quickly stood up to remind him.

Please don't forget me. You said you would take me with you. I'm still here, eagerly waiting to go back home and have a good rest on my soft bed.

Zhang Luan was a little surprised: "Huh? You haven't left yet? Oh, look at my brain, I forgot about Li Jianzheng's matter... By the way, Captain Qin, have the people from Li Jianzheng's house been notified?"

Tan Yun replied respectfully: "I have already sent someone to notify them. I don't know if anyone from the Li Mansion is waiting outside the government office to greet them."

"Then let's go out and take a look."

Zhang Luan raised his hand and said, "If no one comes to greet us, we can find a carriage to send Li Jianzheng back. After all, we are colleagues, so we should have some courtesy."

After hearing this, Li Hua was so moved that he couldn't express it in words.

I was thinking.

Your kindness towards me is not reflected in such a small matter as whether or not you send me home. As long as you rescue me from the imperial prison, even if I have to carry you back to your house, I will worship you like an ancestor.

Isn’t it just going home?
Not only was I pardoned of the death penalty, I was also completely free. I jogged all the way home, and it felt like I was flying, didn't it?
Excited to think about it!
……

……

The group walked out of the Beizhenfusi Yamen. The Jinyiwei and runners they met along the way all saluted Zhang Luan respectfully.

Standing at the gate, Zhang Luan looked around and frowned, asking, "Li Jianzheng, are your family members no longer in the capital? Since Captain Qin has already sent someone to notify them, why didn't anyone come to greet you?"

Li Hua was so overwhelmed at this point that he continued to pace forward until he came to the main street of Xijiangmixiang, stretched his arms, and tried desperately to breathe in the fresh air.

It felt like being reborn, even my eyes turned red.

After a long while, Li Hua finally reacted. He quickly came to Zhang Luan on the street and said respectfully, "Zhang Guozhang, you don't have to worry about me. It's windless and rainless today. I can walk back."

Zhang Luan said, "How can I do that? How will others view me, Zhang Luan? Since I have taken you out of the imperial prison, I must send you home safely.

"Captain Qin, it's up to you from now on... Oh, by the way, Li Jianzheng, you don't know yet, right? Your niece is going to marry Captain Qin soon! This time, thanks to this young man's running around, you should thank him very much."

Li Hua said quickly, "Yes, yes, a few days ago, when I was in prison, my family mentioned this matter when they visited me. It is a great blessing for my niece to marry a young hero like Tan Qianhu."

Zhang Luan smiled and said, "I also think Captain Tan is a handsome man. He is not only hardworking, but also very loyal... Just think about how many times he has gone to the trouble of coming to me to speak up for you this time!"

"Thank you, Captain Tan."

Li Hua quickly bowed deeply to Qin Yun and almost knelt down in front of him.

Qin Yun didn't expect Zhang Luan to give him a sense of existence in this way. He was inexplicably excited and thought to himself, how many times have I come to you to talk about this? At the beginning, I was interested in Miss Li, and it was the second son who found out and took the initiative to ask for help. In fact, I didn't do anything at all, but it seems that I have paid a lot for this matter.

But actually...

I just had this idea, it was really just a thought... and someone turned my dream into reality?
I still feel like I’m dreaming!

Zhang Yanling smiled and joked, "We are all family members from now on. We value friendship and loyalty, so we can come together... So your two families are well matched. When you hold a wedding banquet in the future, remember to invite my father over for a drink."

"Yes, yes, Captain Qin, you must invite me."

Zhang Luan said with a smile.

Qin Yun quickly expressed his opinion: "Mr. Zhang is my noble man. Your brilliance has illuminated my future life. I have to invite you to be the master of ceremonies."

Zhang Luan quickly declined: "Forget about officiating at the wedding. I'm just going to be a witness... By the way, I also understand that Li Jianzheng is a sincere and down-to-earth person. If he is sentenced to death just because he gave Liang Fang a little gift, it would be too innocent. Of course, I am here to help you, Captain Qin..."

Li Hua's eyes immediately turned red. He was filled with gratitude and almost cried, "Mr. Zhang, I treated you so well before, but you were so generous and forgiving. I really don't know what to say."

Zhang Luan consoled him, "I don't know what to say, so I won't say it... Let's get along well in the future, and have a drink together if we have the chance. I'm doing this more to stick to your majesty's philosophy of governing the country with benevolence. It's always right to follow the major policies formulated by your majesty."

"Dad, you shouted that slogan well."

Zhang Heling complimented from the side.

"roll!"

Zhang Luan cursed, "Learn some principles of dealing with people from your brother in the future... Your father does not ask you to be a learned man, but at least you should be upright in your conduct and especially be polite... Look at you, how can you not even have the eyes to see in front of others? You look so vulgar at first glance!"

At this point, he seemed to remember something and turned to Li Hua and said, "Oh, by the way, Li Jianzheng, you still have to go to the Ministry of Justice in a few days to close the case. I might go with you then."

Li Hua quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. The emperor's grace is so great that I will never forget it when I return..."

"That's good……"

As they were talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Zhang Luan looked up and saw a carriage coming from the direction of Daming Gate.

The person on the carriage got off quickly. It was a middle-aged man. Zhang Luan pointed and asked, "Are you here to pick up Li Jianzheng?"

"Yes, that's my brother."

Li Hua thought to himself, God bless me, I finally got to see my family.

Zhang Luan smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb your family reunion... We may have to serve together in the palace in the future, so we'll talk about it then."

Li Hua was shocked after hearing this.

I thought to myself, not only can I survive and escape from the cage, but I may even be able to continue to be an official?
You didn't lie to me, you didn't play tricks on me, or I was not dreaming, right?
God!

I didn’t even dare to think about this beautiful dream in the first few days, but it came true today?
At this time, Zhang Luan had already got into his own carriage with the help of Chang Shun.

"Let's go."

Zhang Luan greeted his two sons.

Zhang Heling had no intention of getting in the car. He waved his hand and said, "Dad, you and my second brother should go back first. Since I have come to the government office to report today, I have to finish my shift before going back... Besides, it's okay to go home now. I'll be scolded by you anyway, so there's no point..."

"Hmph, please help yourself."

Zhang Luan said angrily, "Second brother, get in the car quickly. We can talk on the way back."
