Chapter 554: Returning to Beijing

He wanted to hand over the great cause of restoring the country to Xuanyuan Yi.

If it weren't for Xuanyuan Yi's insistence on donating 200,000 taels of silver this time, if he hadn't insisted on going south, it would have been difficult for Xuanyuan Wangfu to get rid of relations with Tian Shouwang.

In addition to the Xuanyuan Mansion's dots, the Qilin Pavilion also made various contributions, and even the Cao Gang also helped a lot.

Dong Wende's smooth southward journey this time made countless people red-eyed.

Many people are talking about Shandong, and some people think that if he is given 400,000 taels of silver to go south, he will do better than Dong Wende.

It's a pity that there is no such if, and even if there is, it will not be so smooth.

With the efforts of Dong Wende, Shandong has restored its former tranquility.

People have returned to their hometowns one after another and started to build their homes.

Dong Wende received the holy order to return to Beijing, so he planned to leave Qingzhou Mansion quietly.

The prefect of Qingzhou saw Dong Wende's document leaving Beijing, and he rushed to the post station early in the morning.

The fourteen carriages of the Dong family were neatly lined up outside the post station.

Lu Yu saw it and hurriedly said, "Lord Dong is still there?"

Dong Wende, who had just stepped out of the gate of the post station, saw someone coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why did you alarm Lord Lu?"

Lu Yu said: "Don't see Lord Dong, this Shandong disaster, if it weren't for Xianqing, Lu's family would also suffer." ”

Dong Wende shook his head and said: "Lord Lu is serious, Dong Mou has succeeded in retiring today, and it all depends on Lord Lu's cooperation." ”

Lu Yu said: "Lord Dong is a true gentleman, and Lu is respectful." ”

Dong Wende hurriedly said: "My lord Mu Zan, Dong doesn't dare to be a gentleman of an adult." ”

Chan walked out, gave a bow, and got into the carriage.

Lu Yu said: "Lord Dong is so blessed, Mrs. Dong is really a heroine among women." ”

The carriage moved slowly.

Dong Wende and Lu Yu walked side by side.

The two spoke, lamenting the misfortune of Governor Zhao.

The blood book successfully went to the Great Heavenly Court, but Lord Zhao still did not escape the poisonous hand.

The city gate was full of Qingzhou people, holding the only food and goods in their homes, looking around.

Dong Wende said: "This... This..."

He looked directly at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu shook his head and said that he didn't know, he knew that Dong Wende didn't like to be famous, so he naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

When the people saw Dong Wende appear, they all ran over.

"Master Dong, if it weren't for you, we would have starved to death. You saved us, how can you leave without a word?"

"That's it, that's it, don't go, Master Dong. ”

The people's efforts to retain Dong Wende were moved.

Dong Wende said: "This official has completed His Majesty's holy order, and now he is back in Beijing to resume his life, and I ask everyone to give way to it." ”

Lu Yu interjected when he saw it: "Folks, Lord Dong has received the holy decree and must return to Beijing, please let everyone go." ”

"Master Dong, this is what we have made up, a little heart, you can keep it on the road to eat. ”

An elderly woman handed out half a basket of eggs in her hand.

When the others saw it, they also took out their own things.

Dong Wende took a step back and hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, everyone's mind is Dong Benguan, but please take these things back." ”

The enthusiasm of the people directly overshadowed Dong Wende's voice, and there was a posture that Dong Wende would not be able to leave if he did not accept it.

When Lu Yu saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet, let Master Dong say a few words." ”

The people slowly fell silent.

Dong Wende nodded gratefully at Lu Yu.

Dong Wende looked at everyone, and he shouted directly: "Thank you, folks, Dong was ordered to go south for disaster relief, and now he has only done what Dong should do."

Today, Dong has retired, if the villagers still remember Dong's goodness, please take back these things.

Don't let Dong ruin the reputation of incorruptibility. ”

When the people heard this, they took the things and stopped persuading each other.

Dong Wende gratefully hugged his fists and said goodbye to the people.

Because the hour was not early, Dong Wende didn't dare to delay any longer, so he got into the carriage directly.

The carriage drove slowly out of the city.

The people got out of the way, but they followed behind the convoy.

They wept as they wept, and some of the women were already weeping.

Suddenly, a girl of about ten years old ran out of the crowd.

She rushed to Dong Wende's frame and shouted, "Madam, you can take Cui'er with you!"

Cui'er is willing to be a slave and a maid. ”

Fu Liuyi, who was driving the car, grabbed the reins, and he scolded directly: "You don't want to die?"

Although the speed of the carriage was not fast, if he hadn't pulled it in time, he would have crashed into the girl at once.

The carriage shook, Dong Wende lifted the curtain and said, "Fuliu, what happened?"

Fu Liu said: "Master, it was Miss Zhao who blocked the way." ”

Zhao Cui's appearance made the people who followed him surround him.

The little girl's surname is Zhao, and she is the daughter of Zhao Governor, the prefect of Shandong.

The prefect of Shandong was the first to discover the truth about the breach of the embankment in Wangli Village.

After he found out that the breach in Wangli Village was not a natural disaster, he set out to investigate.

It's a pity that he found the truth, but he also lost his life.

Fortunately, before he died, he wrote a blood letter, and sent the evidence and his children out.

Now the wife and children of the Zhao Governor's Mansion have all died, and only the ten-year-old daughter is left, waiting for the court to settle down.

Chen took pity on this woman's plight and took care of it.

But she never expected that Zhao Cuier would be grateful because of this and wanted to stay by her side.

After the Chen family found out, they had the intention to dodge, after Zhao Cuier was a hero, no matter how favored their Dong family was, they couldn't take her as a slave.

Dong Wende lowered the curtain, he looked at Chen, and then shook his head.

Chen lifted the curtain and said, "You are a young lady of the official family, why bother to be a slave and a maid?"

Don't worry, the court and Lord Lu will settle you well. ”

Zhao Cui'er heard Chen's words, shook her head and cried: "Cui'er's family is ruined, and before I met my wife, I suffered a lot of human warmth.

If it weren't for the adult, my father wouldn't have been wronged. Cui'er knows that Mrs. is really good to Cui'er, so Mrs. will take Cui'er, as long as she can follow Mrs., Cui'er is willing to do anything. ”

Many people persuaded her, "Madame, take her with you!"

"Yes, oh my God!"

Zhao Cui'er saw that the people were helping her, so she hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Cui'er begged Mrs., begged Mrs." ”

The carriages behind all stopped, and Zhou's mother also came over at this moment.

Mother Zhou said: "Please also ask all the villagers to raise your noble hand for the sake of our lord for the country and the people, and don't embarrass them anymore." ”

Someone in the crowd said, "Isn't it just a mouthful of food, why is this embarrassing?"

Mother Zhou shouted: "Think about it, what kind of identity Miss Zhao is, if Miss Zhao sells herself into slavery, how can our master be worthy of Lord Zhao who died for the people?"

The people stopped talking, and even if they had many mouths, they said, "This is indeed not right." ”

Zhou's mother waved her hand, and a mother-in-law stepped forward to help Zhao Cui'er.

That woman's strength is very strong, and Zhao Cuier can't kneel anymore no matter how much she wants to kneel at the moment.
