Chapter Seventy-Four: Destitute

On the second day, when the first rays of sunlight shone in the morning, Lu Changan got up, pushed open the door of the study and walked out, taking advantage of today's good weather, he hurriedly went to Mianshi Village to ask and see who this Zhao Pingrong was!

Because Lu Changan ordered a secret investigation, so he didn't alarm others, Lu Changan walked slowly to Qinan Town alone, and said that after he was supported by Guan Li to study and help help his mother's illness, Lu Changan moved to a small house in the capital to live, but he didn't come back for a long time.

Shimian Village is a remote corner in Qinan Town, Lu Changan still inquired a lot before he found the way to Shimian Village, as soon as he walked to the door of this Asbestos Village, Lu Changan was shocked, this ......

All the houses that come into view are dilapidated, and occasionally some children pass by, although they all have smiles on their faces, they are still yellow and thin, and the living conditions here can be seen.

"Little brother." Lu Changan stopped a little boy passing by, took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to him, "Do you know where Zhao Pingrong's house is?" ”

The little boy was a little scared at first, but seeing that Lu Changan had no malicious intent, he first took the candy, bit his finger and thought about it, "Zhao Pingrong...... Brother, are you talking about small bottles? ”

"A vial?" Lu Changan was a little puzzled, and thought about it, could this be Zhao Pingrong's nickname? "Yes, do you know where the little bottle lives?" ”

"It's that corner past, and the one alone is the home of the little bottle!" The little boy was very enthusiastic to show Lu Changan the way, Lu Changan followed the direction pointed by the little boy to see, a tattered muddy path, Lu Changan had more ominous premonitions in his heart.

"Okay, thank you." Lu Changan smiled and thanked him, and walked to the path, but he wanted to see what was going on with this Zhao Pingrong.

Walking along this road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Lu Changan's shoes were almost stuck in the mud puddle, and finally walked around this corner, Lu Changan looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked.

This...... Although Lu Chang'an's family conditions were very difficult when he was a child, but... But the dilapidated house in front of him is beyond Lu Changan's imagination, this can't be called a house anymore, and it seems more appropriate to describe it as a shed.

Lu Changan's heart was a little more uneasy.

Walking to the place that was considered a "door", Lu Changan still knocked, "Is anyone at home?" After asking several times in succession, no one answered, Lu Changan thought that there was no one, and was about to go out to ask the nearby villagers about Zhao Pingrong's situation, when an old cough suddenly came from the house.

"Ahem...... Is Rong'er back? ”

When Lu Changan heard this voice, he didn't care about any etiquette, opened the door made of a broken mat, and walked in, the room was empty, which can be described by the words "four walls", and the only one who was a little angry was the old woman lying on the bed.

Lu Changan seemed to see his own mother back then.

"You...... Ahem...... Who is it? The old woman on the bed sat up with some difficulty, "You're not...... Rong'er ......"

"Auntie is disturbed." Lu Changan hurriedly stepped forward to help her get her up and sit down, "I took the liberty to visit today, and I dare to ask if you are Zhao Pingrong...... Mother? "Jiujiu Library

"Yes......" As soon as Zhao Pingrong was mentioned, the old woman's eyes lit up, "What's wrong?" Rong'er ...... Did you send you to pick me up? ”

Hearing this, Lu Changan was sure that the old woman in front of him was Zhao Pingrong's mother, and this house was Zhao Pingrong's home. The answer is obvious.

"Yes, auntie." As soon as he thought of this, Lu Changan's heart felt a little painful inexplicably, and he continued to ask tentatively, "Your Rong'er, why did you go?" ”

Rong'er said...... Ahem," the old woman's face showed a smile, "Rong'er has a chance, can read, and wants to get ahead...... Rong'er told me a few days ago that he ...... Going to do something big, and then ...... Then you can, take me to a big house...... Cure my disease...... Rong'er ...... You're a good boy......"

And so it was.

Lu Changan understood, it must have been Mu Shang and others who knew Zhao Pingrong's family background, knew that his family conditions were difficult, and his mother was sick in bed, so they coerced and lured him to frame Guan Li! What a good idea!

In this way, it can be figured out why Zhao Pingrong can take out so much gold to "bribe" with thin clothes on weekdays! I have to report this matter to Chu Feng quickly!

"Auntie, your Rong'er is ...... He has some things delayed," looking at Zhao's mother's face, Lu Changan had to make up a white lie, "He asked me to tell you that he will come back in a few days, and also told me to buy you some food and come back, the things are outside, and I will bring them in for you in a while." ”

"Okay, okay." Mother Zhao heard Lu Changan say this, and she was also very happy in her heart, "Let Rong'er ...... Ahem...... Don't worry about me, do things well, keep your feet on the ground...... to become a great thing! ”

Lu Changan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and after comforting Zhao's mother, he walked out of Zhao Pingrong's house, looked back at the broken house, and felt a little heavy in his heart.

When I went outside and asked the nearby villagers, they all said that Zhao Pingrong had not been home for several days, but he was a well-known filial son on weekdays, and he would never abandon his sick mother, Lu Changan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he heard it, so he went to the town to find a Langzhong, gave him all his purse, and asked him to go to Zhao Pingrong's house in Shimian Village to see his mother's illness and buy some food.

After doing this, Lu Changan was a little relieved, and hurried to the capital, such a big breakthrough, he must report to Chu Feng as soon as possible!

After coming to Dali Temple, he was told that Chu Feng was not there, but he gave Lu Changan a waist card, "Chu Shaoqing went out to do errands, and he won't be able to come back for a while, he specially told him, if Lord Lu comes to report to him, he will take this waist card into the palace and go directly to the emperor." ”

Entering the palace?

Lu Changan was holding Chu Feng's waist card, and he was a little nervous in his heart, did he want to see the emperor, the emperor who was with Guan Tongshu, that Qin Zhao? Thinking of this, Lu Changan's palms couldn't help but sweat.

But after thinking about it, this matter is very important, but it is related to the life of his teacher, Ama who is in charge of Tongshu, and it must not be delayed, now is not the time to entangle the private affairs of those children.

Lu Changan changed out of the pair of mud-stained shoes, mustered up the courage to take the waist card, and set off towards the high palace.

"Your Majesty, Lu Chang'an, the prisoner of the country, asks to see you." Qin Zhao was in the imperial study to approve the folds, and in the past few days, there have been more and more excerpts about the requirements to deal with the management ceremony, and Qin Zhao was very angry, "Call him in." ”
