Chapter 152: Trouble
Although she really wants to go, she doesn't have to go today, and Ji Fengyan has just become familiar in front of the emperor now, and if she goes to take leave, I'm afraid that her favorability will be emptied in an instant.
Not to mention......
There is also a duchess in the Guogong Mansion who is eyeing the position of the prince, and when they leave, doesn't they give the other party an opportunity?
Although Lu Changyan had some regrets in his heart, he still didn't say anything more, just took them out and walked around.
The entrance of the Guogong Mansion.
A girl and a woman dressed in linen and filial piety pushed a cart, and the shuttle bus was covered with a white cloth, and slowly walked this way, attracting the attention of countless people.
This street has always been inhabited by dignitaries, and ordinary people only pass by, and now it is the Spring Festival, which is precisely the time when there are the most people.
Everyone looked at this scene and immediately realized that something was going on, so they began to follow.
"Who? This is the Guogong Mansion, leave quickly! ”
The guard at the gate of the Guogong Mansion looked at the large number of people who came over and reprimanded him coldly.
But it was good that he didn't open his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, it seemed that the girl and the woman came back to life from their sad emotions, and the woman glared at the guard with red eyes, and said hatefully, "What I am looking for is your Guogong Mansion!" ”
Saying this word, before the guard could ask again, she had already put down the car, and suddenly sat on the ground and shouted hysterically, "Murder!" Open your eyes, O heavens, and see, can the people of the Guogong Mansion act recklessly? Pity my old man who is over 70 years old, obviously he is not rich, and he has worked hard to do good deeds for so many years. ”
"If there is retribution, why should it be in the good people, and why should the bad people get away with it?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they all understood what was on the cart.
"It's not ...... Granny Zhang at the end of the alley? In the crowd, a little daughter-in-law suddenly exclaimed.
Through her reminder, the other people suddenly became stunned, and their expressions changed from sighs to anger.
Speaking of Granny Zhang at the end of this alley, almost everyone in the alleys of Kyoto knows about it, just because there is an old man Zhang who is kind and generous, and his favorite thing to do is to help people who are poorer than themselves.
And it's been decades to do it.
Therefore, even if Granny Zhang's family is not wealthy, the people respect them very much.
"Granny Zhang, what's wrong with Grandpa Zhang?" One of the people asked aloud, a little apprehensive in his tone.
Granny Zhang ignored him and just agonized on the ground.
It was still their only daughter, Zhang Xiaoniang, raised her head and explained with red eyes, "My father died, and he was beaten to death by the people of the Guogong Mansion." ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, when did my government do such a thing? How did the old man not know? ”
Such a big movement of the national government naturally did not know that the British prince hurriedly came out after receiving the news, and just heard the words of Zhang Xiaoniang, and immediately frowned.
Seeing him come out, the people's expressions became even more weird, but most of them chose to believe Granny Zhang, after all, the Zhang family has been a person for decades.
"Nonsense? Yes, when it comes to the face of your country's mansion, it's nonsense? But even if you beat our mother and daughter to death here today, I will seek justice for my husband! Granny Zhang got up from the ground and rushed up to hit the British duke, but was pushed to the ground by the thinking of the guards around her.
Seeing this, the people immediately became angry and began to talk nonsense.
"If you really didn't do it, why push people? Isn't it enough to confront each other in court? ”
"That's right, your Guogong Mansion won't be empty-hearted, right?"
"I think maybe they didn't intend to admit it, but they didn't expect Granny Zhang to have the courage to come over and make trouble."
“……”
Countless rumors began to spread, and of course the people were not afraid of the Guogong Mansion, but deeply understood the four words "the law does not blame the public".
Seeing this, the British Duke couldn't help frowning, and intuitively felt that this matter was a little strange.
"Let go, Kyoto Yamen handle the case, and the idle people get out of the way!"
A loud voice came from behind the crowd, and immediately after, a team of people wearing fast-catching costumes walked over with knives, and the elder brother looked serious.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who was wearing the costume of Zheng Erpin, who walked at the end, raised his hand and saluted the British Gong before he said loudly, "Xia Guan has seen the British Prince, the Grandpa Guo, this matter is too big, please don't obstruct the case." ”
Although he used honorifics, his attitude already indicated that this matter should be taken seriously.
Such an attitude made the British public fox even more suspicious, but he didn't show it on his face, just looked at Jingzhao Mansion Yin with a puzzled look, "Fu Yin is handling the case, and the old man will naturally not stop it, but since my country's government is one of the people involved in the case, I don't know if I can know the whole story?" ”
"It's nature." Jingzhao Mansion Yin nodded, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What he is most afraid of is not that the British public knows the facts of the case, but that the other party is not willing to let him investigate at all, if that is the case, he really has no other way than to report it to His Majesty.
After all, the status of the British Duke is many levels bigger than himself, and he can't shake it at all.
After saying this, Fu Yin turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaoniang and Granny Zhang, "The two, this official is Jingzhao Fu Yin, who is responsible for all cases in Kyoto, I don't know if you can tell this official the whole story of the incident?" ”
Granny Zhang looked at Fu Yin and didn't speak for a while.
The people thought that she was afraid that the officials of Jingzhao Mansion Yin would protect her, so they reminded one after another, "Mother-in-law, if you have any grievances, you can say it, Mansion Yin is the master of Qingtian, and he will definitely not cover it up." ”
"Yes, so many of us testify to you!"
Granny Zhang was silent for a while before she sighed and talked about the whole story.
"Last night, a girl came to the door and wanted to buy my baked cakes......"
The Zhang family's baked cakes have been made for many years, and their craftsmanship has been recognized by the surrounding people, and because of the good deeds of Mr. Zhang, it can be regarded as a bit famous, and many people come to admire it, which is not surprising.
"The old woman told her that our materials had run out and we couldn't make them, and if we really wanted them, we could come the next day, but the girl had to ask for them immediately, saying that the reunion dinner in the evening could not be without baked cakes......"
"My husband is kind and persuasive, but she-"
Speaking of this, Granny Zhang's expression changed, and she looked at the British Duke resentfully, "But that girl suddenly burst out, pulled out the whip on her waist and whipped my husband away, my daughter and I stepped forward to theorize, but she arrogantly said, 'Hmph, it's just a pariah, this girl's sister is the princess of the Guogong Mansion, and this little money can still be afforded'!" ”
