Chapter 278: The Old Woman Complains

Li Changge was unable to continue to move because of his physical injuries, and at the strong request of Tuoba Huan and Lu Changwei, Li Changge had no choice but to recuperate in the inn.

The originally boring health life, because of Changle as a companion, Li Changge also felt a lot more comfortable.

"When you're ready, we'll go out to play, and now you must obediently listen to the emperor's brother." Changle still has a little pimple in his heart because of the relationship between the two.

Although it is inconvenient to say good things about Tuoba Truss in front of Li Changge, it is always good to tap it on the side.

Li Changge directly ignored the meaning of her words, and hurriedly agreed to let her go out to play.

……

Tuoba Huan and Lu Changwei paid a private visit, and saw the people here walking the streets and alleys along the way, as well as those setting up stalls to do business, and they looked peaceful.

"The road ahead seems to be blocked, why are there so many people?" Lu Changwei looked at the crowd piled up on the road in front of him, and asked the guards to go up and check.

Tuoba grabbed Lu Changwei's shoulders and asked him to call the guards back.

Before the two of them could get closer, they heard an old woman's voice crying and screaming.

"Blessed are you, my lords! Please be the master of your wife! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, make the decisions for the old woman......" The old woman was ragged and unkempt, and her face was full of tears.

Lu Changwei frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this person doesn't look like a good person, let's let the guards open a way." ”

Tuoba Truss shook his head, and instead walked into the crowd, Lu Changwei had no choice but to let the guards open the way on both sides.

Tuoba Truss walked all the way to the old woman, and when he saw him in such a miserable state, he couldn't help asking: "Who are you this old man, and why are you crying out here." ”

The old woman saw that Tuoba Huan was dressed extraordinarily, and then looked at this countenance, and thought that this must be a good official.

Hurriedly kowtowed twice, and then told the story of the incident.

It turned out that this old woman was a country woman, and she had lived her whole life honestly, and she had a daughter when she was over sixty years old

But some time ago, he was forcibly seized by a local official and lost his innocence.

And her daughter couldn't think about it for a while, so she committed suicide by jumping into a well and left, leaving her sixty-year-old woman to wash her face with tears all day long.

"I think you are a kind-faced official, I don't ask you to be the master of my father, but your kindness that is willing to listen will definitely make God bless you." The old lady said the truth.

It made Lu Changwei, who was prejudiced against this old woman just now, feel a little ashamed.

There were already a lot of people gathered around, and now they are even more embarrassed when they hear it, but they hear that it was the official family who robbed someone, and no one dared to lend a hand.

You must know that they are all ordinary people, and no one can provoke those rich squires on weekdays, where do they dare to be strong!

"In that case, why don't you go and ask the government for help, old woman?" Tuoba Truss asked again, but the chill in his words made Lu Changwei tremble.

Before I went out, I encountered a robbery of a people's girl, and it seems that this prefect is going to be unlucky.

The old woman was already crying out of breath, so she naturally didn't notice the chill of Tuoba Truss, and continued to say helplessly: "It is said that this official is interlocked, one ring after another. ”

"Even if I go to the official mansion today to beat the drum and voice the grievances, how many people will be willing to give up the relationship in this black hat to avenge the old woman?"

After hearing this, Tuoba Truss pondered for a moment, and then asked Lu Changwei to take the old man away.

The old woman was reluctant at first, but after listening to Lu Changwei's explanation, they were passing by the inspectors here, and then they followed with gratitude.

"Don't startle the snake, everything is in the dark." At the same time, Tuoba Truss sent a secret guard to find out the details.

"Yes."

Whether this matter is true or false, this old woman illustrates a very important situation, that is, the interlocking of officials and officials.

No official would mess with his colleagues for the sake of an old woman who had nothing to do with him.

As a result, this kind of protective relationship spread rapidly among various officials, and became one of the serious phenomena of the current court!

Tuoba Truss thought in his heart, and then followed in Lu Changwei's footsteps.

"Lu Changwei!" Changle had long been lying on the window and looking at the street outside.

Seeing Lu Changwei's figure from a distance, he jumped downstairs first, and Li Changge looked helplessly from behind.

Lu Changwei helped the old woman all the way back, and his body was inevitably covered in ashes.

At this time, I looked at Changle, who was smart and delicate, wearing a goose-yellow pink skirt, and hugged the villain in my heart with a crying face.

Changle also knows how to observe words and looks, and when he saw the miserable appearance of this old woman, he hurriedly poured a glass of water.

"Sit down, what's going on?" After Changle finished speaking, he found that Lu Changwei was not following the emperor's side.

Lu Changwei couldn't tell her too much, so he was in a hurry to go back to find the emperor, so he first asked people to take care of him and went out.

The old woman couldn't help but be a little nervous when she saw that one or two of them were dressed extraordinarily and had noble faces.

Seeing this, Changle's little sadness, which was originally because Lu Changwei didn't have time to take care of himself, suddenly disappeared.

"Who are you, old man, and what's the matter with this outfit?" Changle said, but there is no shelf for the princess on weekdays.

Serving tea and pouring water is still done by the maid, but the face is gentle and talkative, which is the younger generation who treats the old man well.

"This young lady has a good face, she must be a blessed person, and the old woman's clothes are afraid that the young lady's eyes will be dirty." As she spoke, the old woman left her seat.

Changle hurriedly asked her to sit down, and sent the maid down to boil water, so that the old man could take a good bath.

I listened to her tell her everything that had happened.

"What? In broad daylight, the emperor is on top, and there are still people who dare to do this thing of robbing people's daughters! Changle's eyes widened in surprise.

This plot can only be heard in the script, but now in the country and the people, there are still people who can do it!

Seeing Changle's innocent face, the old woman hesitated for a moment and said: "Today, the emperor treats the people well and does not increase taxes and servitude, he is really a wise monarch. ”

"But the old woman can say something very rebellious. As the so-called sky is high, the emperor is far away, and the emperor sits firmly in Kyoto, how can he manage the affairs of this poor country? ”

After hearing this, Changle felt that it was very reasonable, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his emperor's brother.

That's all it takes!

"Don't worry, the person who brought you here just now will definitely administer justice for you!" Changle waved his small pink fist and said indignantly.

The old woman was moved to tears and hurriedly thanked her.

……

Tuoba Truss went to the prefect alone, and the family at the gate of the house stopped the person when he saw this person's face.

"Who are you? What's the matter? "Those family members saw that this person had an extraordinary temperament, and they didn't dare to slack off when they spoke, even if it was a big man.

"You just have to say that Huang Gongzi is looking for the prefect." After Tuoba Huan finished speaking, the family went in to report and deliver the message.

didn't wait long, I saw that the prefect almost ran out without a roll, and when he saw the person at the door, he was even more surprised and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to prepare tea.

Tuoba truss did not stop, all the way to the prefect's mansion unimpeded.

Walking through the Tuoba truss from the mansion, I saw that the layout was extravagant, and there were many concubines, and there were countless maids, but he was a good emperor.

"Your Majesty...... Ah no, Huang Gongzi uses tea. The prefect looked flattering, but he was actually sweating all over his body.

Tuoba truss put the teacup aside, straight to the point.

"I don't know if the prefect knows what the purpose of this son is coming today?" Tuoba Truss's tone was low, and it even aggravated the word adult.

The prefect was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, shaking his fat body, and said, "Son, don't break the little one!" It's just that the town has been peaceful and peaceful these days, I don't know what the son said? ”

After that, the two black eyes rolled again, as if they thought of something, and closed their mouths again.

This little action naturally can't escape the magic eye of the truss, but there is no need to expose it now.

"Today, on the street, my son met an old woman on the street to complain about her grievances, claiming that an official robbed the people's women and dirty people's innocence, but is there such a thing?" Tuoba Truss said lightly, but the corner of his eye was on the prefect's face.

The prefect's face changed at first, and then returned to normal.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, although he is still a small prefect, but his ability to observe words and emotions is to learn ten times ten.

"Hui Gongzi, naturally there is no such thing!" After the prefect finished speaking, he looked at Tuoba Truss's uncertain eyes, and thought that he must have seen the old woman.

Don't wait for Tuoba truss to ask questions, first hit a rake!

"I think the son is talking about the old woman in the country, and I heard about it today. That old woman is a well-known Diao Min of this generation, not to mention that she can't pay taxes, and she is crazy and stupid on weekdays, specializing in telling rumors! ”

"Oh?" Tuoba Truss listened, his jaw was not raised slightly, and there was a trace of interest in his eyes.

The prefect was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly poured all kinds of sewage on the old man, as bad as he said.

"Childe Mingjian! Under my jurisdiction, there is absolutely no one who dares to do such a thing that violates the principles of heaven! "The master swore that he almost didn't raise his hand and swear.

In fact, it's not impossible to swear by pretentiousness, but the prefect seems to be afraid of being punished by heaven.

Tuobatsu nodded, telling him to shut up first.

Naturally, he would not be deceived by the prefect's rhetoric, and how could the heinous person he said be equated with the old woman who was now crying in tears in the inn?

It's just that if you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, you have to have a reason.

Although he could listen to the old lady's one-sided words, he had no evidence in his hands.

"What is the truth of the matter? This son wants to do more investigation, but since someone beats the drum and voices grievances, the prefect has to look like the prefect. Tuoba truss said, the prefect hurriedly nodded yes, and he looked very skillful in slapping horses.

Although he didn't understand what the emperor's words meant, he just said no. The prefect smiled heartily.

"Since you are innocent and go to investigate the matter, I want to have a complete story and answer." After speaking, Tuoba Truss got up and was about to leave.

The prefect first sent him off with a smile on his face, and then he felt that something was wrong.

Tuoba Truss left first, his intention was naturally to test too much, as for the conclusion, the secret guard would explain it to him clearly.
