Chapter 559: Introspection
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
Gao Xian was quietly out of his mind, and after a long time, he asked, "Do you believe what she said?" β
Tong Chaoyi knelt there, the sweat on the tip of his nose was about to come out, and he replied after a while, "Minister...... He was unbelieving. But that day, that day, I saw the lord of the county come out of the fire......"
He suddenly made up his mind and suppressed his voice calmly, "The minister is a martial artist, and he is more willing to believe in the real evidence." β
Gao Xian turned around and bowed slightly, "Well said." You've worked hard too, so go down first. β
Tong Chaoyi hesitated for a moment, thinking about what to do without asking anything.
And Gao Xian let out a long breath, not knowing whether it was annoyance or worry. picked up a copy of the book in his hand, and after reading it for a long time, he ordered someone to pass He Xian into the palace.
He Xian didn't know what was going on, and after hurriing into the palace, he saw that the emperor took a copy of the imperial history to him, "What does Aiqing think?" β
This is from Ouyang Kang. As the main general, he disregarded military discipline, threw down the army and ran back to see his wife and son, which is really unusual.
He Xian's heart moved, he asked him to write the excerpt of the imperial history, and the emperor asked him so, did he make a decision?
After thinking about it, he said cautiously, "Yushi is reasonable, but Ma of Jiashan County is still young, and besides, he is separated from his young husband and wife, and he is not even in front of the birth of a child, so it is understandable that he is in a hurry to come back for a while." β
Sure enough, the emperor nodded, "Yes, there are extenuating circumstances, but the sin is unforgivable." When we go to court tomorrow, we will agree on this matter. β
He Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with this remark, he was afraid that Ouyang Kang would be punished for his great achievements. If he is guilty, then his son will be kept safe.
Young, extenuating, on the surface it is a good word, but the subtext is that it is not sensible.
It seems that the emperor still minds the rumors of the county lord's demon girl, but this matter is not easy to mention by himself, and when this matter is dealt with, go back and make a noise below, and mention it again.
Seeing his respectful retirement, the emperor's vision seemed a little complicated. After a while, he asked, "He has followed me for twenty years, right?" β
Cheng Ping stood aside and replied with a low eye, "By March, it will be a full twenty years." β
The emperor's gaze fell on the unknown, and he said softly with emotion, "Twenty years, only one month away......"
And Tong Chaoyi left the palace and returned to the guardhouse, Mrs. Tan timidly asked him, "My lord, can I go home?" I told the emperor everything, the emperor won't kill me, right? β
Tong Chaoyi glanced at her twice, "You can go." β
Mrs. Tan was overjoyed, thanked her again and again, and hurried away without daring to say anything.
In this capital, she will never come again.
Within a few days, when she finally returned home, when she entered the door and saw Lu Xing also there, she said with a smile on her face, "I just said it's okay, the government just asked me to ask about something, it's okay." β
Fortunately, Tong Chaoyi took her secretly that day, and she didn't say anything, so she wanted to coax her and passed. However, Lu Xing sat in the hall and did not move, only looking at her face a little gloomy.
Mrs. Tan felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, she found that there was another person in the room, who was actually the haunting Lu Dashi!
With a shallow exclamation, she took half a step back, but then rushed forward and said, "Master, don't believe his words, this slave is used to deceiving people!" β
Lu Xing looked at her, "You don't know what he told me, how do you know that he is lying to me?" β
Mrs. Tan was a little speechless when asked, and wanted to explain with a smile, but Lu Xing suddenly asked about something, "I heard that King Ping has never had sex with you?" β
Mrs. Tan's face changed slightly, "Master, why did you ask about this?" We're all old people......"
Lu Xing didn't let her go, "A handful of people of age can live innocently?" I just ask you, yes and no. β
Mrs. Tan was frightened by his sharp tone, and her eyes involuntarily dodged.
But Na Lu Dashi said in a weird manner, "Madam, you don't have to pretend anymore." King Ping has never had sex with you, and when you married Master Lu, it was not perfect. If you don't think you're very old at this age, why did you forget that you used to be a military lady when you were sixteen? β
"You talk nonsense!" Mrs. Tan's face turned white, and she said without words, "I don't know the person surnamed Chu at all, don't lie to people!" β
But as soon as the words came out, she regretted it.
Sure enough, Lu Xing's face became even more gloomy, and the green tendons on his forehead exploded, "If you haven't done it, how can you remember what the man's surname is?" β
Seeing that it was irreparable, Mrs. Tan simply said with an old face, "If the master wants to wronged me, I can't do anything." But when you married me, you weren't a hairy boy, just a halfway couple, and everyone lived together. As long as I am devoted to you, why bother with the past? β
Lu Xing's face darkened layer after layer of anger, and it took a long time to hold back the sentence, "*son! β
Mrs. Tan was furious, "What are you scolding me? β
Lu Xing raised his hand and slapped her hard, "You also said that you are dedicated to me, do you think you have saved those private houses behind your back, I don't know?" I thought that no matter how you are, you are also a young lady from an official family, at least you know etiquette, righteousness and shame, but I didn't expect it to be so unbearable, and you will cause trouble to me all day long! Do you know how I managed to sit here? Spend silver. Almost spent most of my life savings to buy a life! β
Mrs. Tan was really shocked now, thinking about it, even if those guards only arrested her that day, how could they not put the people related to her under house arrest? And even if it's okay in the end, but after a trip from the government, how can you not let some blood?
Almost instantly, Mrs. Tan made a decision, "Since you don't look down on me so much, then write a letter of resignation." β
It was enough to aggrieve her from an official's wife to a businesswoman, but if even this businessman had no money, why did she follow him?
Lu Xing suddenly snorted coldly, "Do you want to leave with the dowry?" It's a pity I won't get what you wanted. Someone came, put the lady in the carriage, and prepared to go. β
"You, what do you want to do?" Mrs. Tan panicked.
Lu Xing said, "Since you have ruined half of my life savings, you will accompany me to the end of my life." You have no children and no daughters, and I have raised a few daughters who are not bad. The eldest son-in-law knew that something was wrong at home, so he had already cleaned up a farm and asked me to go to the elderly. In the future, you will be there to take care of the housework, farm the land and feed the jiba. β
No! Mrs. Tan resisted desperately, and the years she was thrown in the countryside made her know too much how difficult the housework in the countryside was. But whether she wanted it or not, she was stuffed into the carriage.
Since then, she has been escorted by Lu Xingqiang to farm in the countryside to feed pigs, chop firewood and carry water. Within half a year, her hands were calloused, and she was unkempt and full of the appearance of a rural sister-in-law.
Occasionally, she would think that it was better to live than to die.
But within a moment of the thought of her, she snored and fell asleep. Life in the countryside is so tiring that I can't even lift my strength to die.
And then day after day, year after year, people gradually become numb. is like an old donkey who is blindfolded and grinded, working hard for the rest of his life.
At that time, when Lu Dashi left the Lu family, a mysterious person gave him ten taels of silver, which was regarded as a reward for his informant.
Lu Dashi was grateful, and took the money to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, as for his daughter-in-law and son, they had already been sold after being kicked out of the house and losing the protection of Mama Lu.
As for Mama Lu, she has been loyal to Mrs. Tan all her life, and she has never revealed any of her secrets until she died. But he didn't know that after his death, he was not even allowed to put his bones into the ground, and he was put in Yizhuang until it rotted, and after many years, it was cleaned up like garbage.
When Mrs. Tan first went to the countryside, it was already the middle of spring when the capital was in full bloom.
It's just that the instability of the court situation has made even the most beautiful flowers lose their color.
In the court meeting on the fourth day of the second lunar month, no one expected that among the servants, the third prime minister, Li Xilie, suddenly exerted his strength and participated in the first prime minister He Xian in public.
He was accused of colluding with bandits and delaying the military plane. connived at the neighbors and oppressed the people. Pile by pile, piece by piece, the evidence is conclusive. and Wang Cang, the local governor of his hometown, brought the people to testify in person, and He Xian was imprisoned in court.
The emperor was furious and ordered to raid the He family, but a huge amount of assets were found, and the origin was unknown.
The He family, who had been in power for a while, was defeated.
And in front of this, the disposal of General Pingxi is a little unmentionable.
Although Jiashan County Ma said that he had meritorious service in pacifying the southwest, he was robbed of military power because he disregarded military discipline and entered Beijing without permission, and was ordered to go home for reflection. And the only thing worth mentioning is that this incident is the last official business that He Xian proposed in the court.
After he dealt with Ouyang Kang, it was his turn to deal with him. Simply a wonderful irony.
However, Jiashan Junma was honest, and the emperor asked him to go home for reflection, and he closed the door. I heard that it's fun to have fun all day long, but it's really not very interesting.
As for the magical lord of Jiashan, he lived in a simple place and completely disappeared from the social circle of the capital. However, rumors about her are still circulating privately among the people.
Some people say that she is a messenger sent by the god of fire in the sky, and others say that she is the reincarnation of the grandmother of the king of the stove. But no matter what, these immortals are good people, and few people say that she is a demon girl.
The eyes of the people are bright.
The county lord of Jiashan has never done anything bad, she opened a restaurant for the poor, and she saved so many people during the snow disaster. Even if she exposed her ability that time, it was to save a little boy.
How can such a good person be a monster?
But these words are only said in private, but they are not mentioned on the surface.
It's not that I don't want to praise her, but I don't want to get her in trouble.
Therefore, even if the people who broke the garden came out to walk around, everyone was kind and treated them normally. It's just that occasionally looking at the broken garden, I will show a little respect.
If it is really the Heavenly Maiden who descends to earth, it should be a blessing on earth, and they should protect her, not let her be harmed.
Broken Garden.
In the kitchenette dedicated to the main mother.
The woman in the corset was nervously busy, frying diced sweet potato wedges in a hot pan, and when it was almost time, she quickly put in the sugar. When the sugar is at high temperature, melt it immediately, turn the pot upside down, let the melted sugar evenly dip the sweet potato, and then remove from the pot.
As soon as she looked at the color of the sweet potato on the plate, she didn't have to try it, and the woman screamed angrily, "It's over again!" β
The man dressed as a small servant next to him didn't seem to believe it, and stretched out his chopsticks to coerce him, but the silk could be pulled out, but there was a big gap between it and what he had eaten before.
"It's fine." The man kindly comforted her, "Ordinary people can't do it at your level." β
The woman looked at him, "Can you praise me in a different way?" β
Whewβ
Suddenly, there was a childish shout at the door, which startled the two of them.
I saw his family's fat sweet potato, stained with blades of grass and soil, excitedly picking up the threshold, clapping his hands and shouting.
Potato Daddy: My son can finally climb...
Wangcai: Why aren't you very happy?
Potato Daddy: Have you forgotten who couldn't climb on your back yesterday and made you come to me for help?
White potato: Who pinched it?
Potato Daddy: Don't sell cute!
White Potato: Then who pinched it?
Potato Daddy: Wangcai, let's go, bring the sweet potatoes...
White Potato: Daddy, if you don't take me with you, run to steal it, is it really okay?
Potato Daddy: Son, are you really good at being so cruel?! RS
