At the end of the court trial, Wu Ruijing returned to the inner office, and Xiao Bai, Lao Zuo, Xiao Liu and Zhao Han were taken to the prison by the officials of Yuanhe County to be temporarily imprisoned, and they will be escorted back to Nanshan at a later date.

The crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed. Wang Yueying and Lu Sanniang walked out of the county office with the crowd, but they didn't leave immediately, they waited for one more person.

They stood on the side of the county office, and Song Xiucai finally walked out of the county office, came to them, and said to Lu Sanniang: "Boss Lu, what you ordered has been done below." ”

"There's Mr. Law!" Lu Sanniang replied politely. "It's just that after the matter over there in Nanshan, my sister is still not very relieved, and it seems that Mr. will have to work hard."

"Boss Lu and Boss Wang rest assured. Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others. What I'm doing is to relieve people's worries, and I'll go with Nanshan. If there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave. ”

So saying, he shook his head again, and turned away.

"I thought he was a scholar, and it seems that he was also a guy who fell into the eyes of money." Wang Yueying listened to Song Jie and Lu Sanniang's reply, and her good impression of Song Jie disappeared.

"Yueying don't be surprised, what Mr. Song said is also reasonable. But I was surprised that things were so easy to solve. Lu Sanniang said.

Wang Yueying also agreed, and when Lu Sanniang proposed to find a lawyer, she was still worried that even if a lawyer sued the arresters in Nanshan County for them in court, they might not be able to convict them. "Yes, although the board didn't work, but after all, I gave them a dismount, which can make me dissipate my anger a little." Saying that, she hesitated again, and then said to Lu Sanniang: "Sanniang, do you think that Wu Rui's attitude towards today's court trial is different from the past, and he clearly wants those three people to be scapegoats, as if he is afraid that others will know about his mistakes in official affairs." and the three catchers in Nanshan County obviously have something to say in their hearts, but they don't say much, how can they be willing to be scapegoats? ”

"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Yueying, guess yes. A few days ago, my friend in the capital mentioned in a letter to me that the inspection period of the Ministry of Officials is advancing day by day, and we, Lord Wu, are just on the list of inspection inspections. Presumably he was busy dissociating himself from the mistakes in this case, and it was also for the sake of the exam! ”

Having said that, Wang Yueying knew a little more about this Lord Wu, she and Lu Sanniang glanced at each other, and then went home together.

Lu Sanniang sent someone to send Wang Yueying back to Hetou Village. The carriage stopped at the doorway, and before her feet could hit the ground, she heard a whining from inside the door. As soon as she heard this voice, she remembered something she hadn't done, and he didn't pick up Chen Shouxin back. Now listening to Chen Shouxin complaining inside the door, it seems that he doesn't need to go to the Chen family's old house to pick him up anymore, saving himself trouble, thinking like this, he is a little happy in his heart.

"What are you doing so loudly, do you still look like a reader?" As soon as Wang Yueying stepped into the door with her legs, she opened her mouth to reprimand Chen Shouxin, who complained loudly. Chen Shouxin turned his back to the door, listened to Wang Yueying's voice, ignored what she said, turned to her and continued to complain: "You said that you wanted to find a car to pick me up, why did you disappear as soon as you left, and left me alone in the old house, you are too disagreeable." What should I do if the old lady were to do anything wrong with me again? As he spoke, there was a slight cry in his tone, and it seemed that Mrs. Zhou's actions that night really scared him.

"Big man, why can't you cry. No matter how much the old lady hurts you, she is also your mother! ”

"No, she's not ······" Chen Shouxin blurted out his words, but swallowed back halfway through, feeling displeased.

Wang Yueying saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had something in his heart, but he didn't ask more, ignored him anymore, and went to visit Bo Xun and Yangyang by herself, telling them that Zhao Han was all right, and reassuring them.

After calming the two children, Wang Yueying walked out of their room and looked at the clear sky. She had an inexplicable emotion in her heart, and she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was emptying herself. The recent events happened a little suddenly, and if she had put it in the past, she might have been helpless, but she was able to resolve them one by one, and she has grown a lot in the past few years. For some reason, Wang Yueying remembered home, the home that had been vaguely stuck in her childhood memory. There is a tall and hearty father, a gentle and caring mother, and a lively little yellow dog. Thinking about it, I couldn't stop crying.

"Mother, why are you crying?"

Chen Boxun walked out of the room and saw his mother standing alone under the eaves crying silently, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he finally asked directly. This question made Wang Yueying startled, and she didn't want her homesick scene to be seen by her son. She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned her head slightly and said to Chen Boxun: "No other." Then he sighed softly and continued: "Mother, mother, mother, homesick!" ”

"Homesick? Isn't this my mother's home? Chen Boxun felt strange and blurted out.

"My mother thinks it's her own ······" Wang Yueying wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, she smiled and said, "Yes! This is my home. The place where you and Yangyang are is your mother's home. ”

"And Daddy, Daddy is also here." Chen Boxun added.

"Okay, good, and your daddy." Wang Yueying replied with a smile.

There are actually not many opportunities for a conversation between mother and son like this, and in Wang Yueying's memory after coming to Shangguo, in addition to the last time Chen Boxun was questioned when he escaped from the academy, this conversation under the roof was the second time. During the conversation, Wang Yueying remembered that she had promised Chen Boxun to go to school, so she asked Chen Boxun: "Boxun, do you still want to go back to the academy to study?" ”

"Bo Xun wants to go back to the academy to study." Chen Boxun replied without hesitation.

"Can you go to another academy or find a gentleman to teach you alone at home?" Wang Yueying asked.

"Bo Xun didn't want to go to another college, and he didn't want other gentlemen to teach me. During my few months in the college, I felt that the teachers and elders of the college taught me a lot of principles for how to behave in the world. The teachers of the academy have a affection for me, and I also have a affection for Qingyang Academy, and Bo Xun doesn't want to visit other disciples and learn other knowledge. ”

"But they kicked you out of the academy."

This is also caused by Bo Xun's private discharge from the hospital, no wonder the teacher punished him. There are no rules, he just follows the rules of the academy. Chen Boxun's conversation with himself really surprised Wang Yueying, he has such a strong sense of rules at a young age, and he can still rise to a reasonable height when talking about things, it seems that Qingyang Academy really has two brushes, and he can't accept it!

"That mother promised you that when you finish dealing with Uncle Zhao Han's affairs, your mother will visit the academy again, and the academy will accept you to study again." Looking at Wang Yueying's resolute eyes, Chen Boxun couldn't help but be overjoyed, took Wang Yueying's hand and kept thanking her, almost kneeling down and kowtowing, but was stopped by Wang Yueying in time, but Wang Yueying made up her mind in her heart that next time, even if she knelt down and begged, she would let Chen Boxun return to the academy.

Two days later, Xing Zhutou came to the winery to tell Wang Yueying that the next day Zhao Han would be escorted back to Nanshan County with the three catchers from Nanshan County, and asked her if she was going to see her off. Wang Yueying told him that she would go back to see him off, and also inquired about the time and place of the group's departure.

The next day, the Ten Mile Pavilion outside Yuanhe County. The simple pavilion is a fixed place for locals to bid farewell to their relatives and friends, and a fork in the road not far from this place divides the official road into two directions, north and south. In winter, the weather gets colder, and snow falls from time to time. The three teams that escorted Zhao Han and Nanshan County had come to Shili Pavilion to rest, and Wang Yueying greeted the leader of the team for a while, and then gave everyone a cowhide bag peach blossom wine, saying that the weather was cold, and they drank some peach blossom wine on the way to warm up. The officials were very happy to hear it, the peach blossom wine was famous, they had long wanted to taste it, but they were shy and couldn't afford it, and now there was a ready-made one, so they immediately took it and drank it, but secretly thought that it was no different from other wines, and it was even a little sour. Could it be that the peach blossom wine is different from this sourness? Everyone didn't know what to say, their faces showed embarrassment, and they thanked them one after another and put away the wine bags.

Seeing their embarrassed expressions, Wang Yueying wanted to ask the reason again, and then saw Zhao Han with shackles on the side, and asked the leader of the catch: "Poor master, can you let you talk to Zhao Han alone?" ”

"Boss Wang, but it doesn't matter, Xing Zhutou has told me to leave some time for your master and servant to say something else." As soon as the leader of the catcher greeted him, an official came over with Zhao Han, and let people take off the shackles and walk outside the pavilion with the officer. Wang Yueying didn't come alone, in addition to the maid Caidie with him, there was a middle-aged man behind him, Zhao Han recognized this person as Song Xiucai who was fighting a lawsuit for Wang Yueying in court that day. Wang Yueying introduced Song Xiucai to Zhao Han and said: "Seeing that your whole person is haggard like this, you must have suffered a lot in prison!" This time, I asked Mr. Song to go to Nanshan with you to help you solve your case. Zhao Han couldn't help but say after hearing this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Yueying. He himself came to the Wang family not long ago, and he never thought that Wang Yueying would help him again and again, which really made him grateful. Wang Yueying hurriedly helped him up, in the days of going to China, the thing she didn't like the most was that people had to kneel and kowtow at every turn, this atmosphere made her feel deeply twisted.

"Okay, okay, no need to kneel, no need to kowtow. Once you get acquainted, you can be regarded as friends, and you should help each other. This made Zhao Han feel a lot of emotion, the master actually regarded himself as a friend, and thought about it and knocked his head twice. In the face of such a scene, Wang Yueyington was not helped, nor was she not helped.

"Brother Zhao Han, don't be like this, Madam doesn't like others to kneel and kowtow the most. Get up! Caidie, who was standing behind her, noticed Wang Yueying's helplessness and rescued her as soon as possible. At this time, the leader of the catcher also returned to the pavilion and said that he was about to set off. The official took the shackles to bring to Zhao Han, Wang Yueying couldn't bear to look at Caidie, Caidie walked to the side of the leader and said a few words, and quietly handed him a piece of silver, and Zhao Han was spared the pain of shackles. Looking at Caidie's behavior, Wang Yueying couldn't help but feel funny, she was not laughing at Caidie, but laughing at herself in her heart for bribing and dotting tricks is becoming more and more proficient, and laughing at herself is becoming more and more like an ancient.
