Chapter 235: Celebration
Liu Qin did not forget her promise to Lu Youlin, Lu's mansion was copied, Mrs. Lu's Yao family and her unmarried little daughter were not punished as official slaves, but were driven out, Liu Qin sent someone to pick up her mother and daughter, sent them back to Yao's mother's house, and left a sum of money in the name of Lu Youlin's friend, with this money, although Yao's mother and daughter can no longer live like before, but it is no problem to spend the second half of their lives peacefully.
As for Qiu Niang and the child, they were already on the way back to Happy Village, when Qiu Niang and the child stepped on the ferry of Hanshui and watched the vast river rolling eastward, they didn't know that at the same time, Lu Youlin was being taken to the execution ground, and in this life, they would never have the opportunity to see each other again.
"Mother, when will Daddy take us back?"
"Soon, as long as Xiaolong Xiaohu is obedient, Daddy will come to pick us up soon."
The anticipation on the innocent and childish face, and the reluctance to look back frequently, were all reflected in the Han Shui, and they were taken away by the Han Shui one by one, and the only thing that could not be taken away was the flesh and blood affection connected by blood.
The imperial capital Fang family had an accident, the news reached Wucheng, which also caused a turmoil, Liu Lao Ye jointly signed several officials in Wucheng to the court, impeached Fang Fengxian, listed more than ten of his crimes, and soon received the instructions of the court, Fang Fengxian dismissed, and his son Fang Zhen was escorted back to the imperial capital for trial, and the family property was confiscated, although the family was not used as official slaves, but it was clearly stated that all the children of the Fang family were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations.
It takes three or four generations for a family to rise, but the decline or demise of a family is often instantaneous.
The Fang family has fallen, and there is no possibility of a comeback, and those officials and wealthy businessmen who are connected with the Fang family and involved with Fang Fengxian are also the victims in this turmoil.
The fifth master of the Liu family knelt in front of Master Liu with tears in his eyes, "Big brother, I was wrong, you save me, big brother ......"
Master Liu looked at him with complicated eyes, and his heart was also mixed, remembering the ruthlessness of the fifth brother at the beginning, he was going to brush his sleeves away, but when he looked at it again, his heart softened again, the fifth brother was younger than himself, but his temples were white, and he suddenly aged a lot, sighed in his heart, closed his eyes and said: "Qingye, I persuaded you at the beginning, but you didn't listen, it's too late now." You go back, if you follow the things you have done with the Fang family over the years, you should be in prison now, the dismissal is the lightest, this is the only thing I can help you, after you go back, you can live a good life. ”
The fifth master's family returned to Jincheng in a gloomy manner, and since then they have been living in the township with a few meager productions, and the family has never left.
Of course, these are all afterwords, but it is said that when the good news of the verdict came, Liu Qin took a group of people to the Zhuangzi outside the city, and held a banquet to celebrate the achievements of the brothers.
In the empty courtyard, five tables of wine and banquets were lined up one after another, and there were all kinds of delicious wines and delicacies on the table, and the brothers who came out of Xiaoyao Valley, except for the twenty people scattered in the imperial capital, the remaining thirty-two people were all here.
The courtyard was full of laughter, they were all rough gentlemen, they were used to being at ease in Xiaoyao Valley, and they were not used to it when they first came, but they gathered together like this today, drinking wine in big bowls and eating meat in large pieces, as if they were back in the valley, so they didn't need Liu Qin to speak, and the atmosphere quickly became warm, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, guessing the fist and fighting wine, and the laughter almost overturned the roof.
There was also a distinguished guest in the seat, it was He Mingchen, who came to the imperial capital with Lei Hu to avenge his friends, and Liu Qin sat at the top table, along with Jiang Li, Fang Nuo and Lei Hu's master and apprentice.
"Mr. He, I toast you."
He Mingchen's profound righteousness made Liu Qin very impressed, and he got up to toast him.
"Don't dare, don't dare, thank you Gongzi for upholding justice and eliminating harm for the people, Brother Xie knows underground, and it's time to turn a blind eye." He Mingchen, a scholar of about forty, was dressed up, and there was a faint righteousness between his eyebrows.
He already knew from Lei Hu that all the Qiē was controlled behind the scenes by the young man surnamed Xiao in front of him, such a plan, such courage, so that he, a man who had read poetry and books and fantasized about chivalry and righteousness, could only sigh to himself, in addition to admiration, there was also a desire to make friends with him.
"Mr. He is polite, if it weren't for Mr. He's deep understanding of righteousness, as well as the hard work of Brother Lei and all the brothers, there would be no happy event today, so I would like to raise a glass together, first salute the deceased Lord Xie, and wish his dead rest in peace as soon as possible."
Hearing her words, everyone stood up and slowly poured the wine from their glasses on the ground.
"This second cup, Mr. He, thank you Mr. He for coming all the way to help us get things done."
"The third cup is my respect for Brother Lei and all the brothers, you have worked hard, even risked life and death, the eldest young master and I will not say anything good, there is only one sentence, Xiaoyao Valley is everyone's home, we are relatives, we are brothers!"
"Yes, it's a relative, it's a brother!"
"Subordinates are the only ones who obey the orders of the son."
"."
……
Liu Qin once adjusted the atmosphere in the field to the highest point, and everyone was excited, and drank all the wine in the cup, and the scene was almost boiling.
He Mingchen looked at this qiē and felt deeply, although Xiao Gongzi is young, it is really not simple, this royal ability, without seeing what means, made a group of hot-blooded sons all surrender happily and sincerely. He can see even more that he is sincere to them, they are sincere to him, if he is a superior person, he can also stand more in the position of the people like Xiao Gongzi, and think more about the people, so why can't the country be stable.
He Mingchen suddenly realized the true way of being an official, and many years later, when he became a loyal official praised by all the people, he would think of this day, the young Xiao Gongzi, and this group of hot-blooded children.
"Mr. He, this matter is over, I don't know what Mr. He's planning?" After sitting down, Liu Qin asked.
"Let's go back to the countryside and be a teacher." He Mingchen smiled bitterly, he offended the Jin family, and he didn't know if he could return to his hometown safely.
"The Jin family has suffered such a big loss, and if they can't do anything with the Cao family for a while, they will definitely spill their anger on Mr., if Mr. returns to the township, I am afraid that he will worry about his life."
"This ......"
"I sent someone to send Mr. to Xiaoyao Valley, Mr. doesn't have to worry about his family, I asked Brother Lei to secretly send Mr.'s family back to Happy Village that day, Mr. will settle down after reuniting with his family, and then make plans later?"
He Mingchen heard that he could reunite with his family, how could he not want to, so he immediately thanked him, "Thank you Gongzi, I will obey Gongzi's arrangement in the next qiē." ”
On this day, in Zhuangzi, more than a dozen jars of wine alone were drunk, and in the end, except for Liu Qin and others, all of them were drunk, and when the night wind rose, in the snoring sound of thunder, you could also hear the laughter in the dream.
And this night, Liu Sheng's big study resounded with the same excited laughter.
"Brother Huang, we succeeded, haha, today my father also praised me and the six emperor brothers for their meritorious trial of the case, this is the first time my father has praised me, hahaha......"
Liu Rui said with a smug and boastful smile, Liu Sheng was happy at the same time, but his heart was secretly sour, it was just a compliment, which made Brother Rui so excited, the thin father-son relationship, although he didn't care about it for a long time, but he said to Brother Rui that it was still so important.
