Chapter 346: Red and Green Righteousness
As soon as the three of them debuted, the officials of the ten official offices were already twenty meters away from the door.
The old beggar grabbed the two little beggars left and right, and whispered, "I can't go!" Don't panic, take one step at a time! ”
The officials walked towards the trio, and one of the leaders pulled out a wanted warrant and shouted, "Hey! Have you seen this person? ”
The three beggars squinted their eyes in unison and looked at the wanted post, how could the portrait resemble the deceased?
The foreman said again: "This is the national thief Zeng Biao, the whistleblower, the government has a grand prize!" ”
The old beggar asked weakly, "What if you kill him?" ”
"Of course, there is also a prize!" The foreman said.
"My lord, please enter the palace and take a look, is this person a national thief Zeng Biao?" The old beggar took the little beggar and gave way to the doorway.
The two little beggars were overjoyed in their hearts, and there was a prize for killing someone, which was really an eye-opener!
When the official entered the Taoist temple and saw the tragic death on the ground, he carefully checked the portrait and found that it was indeed seven or eight points similar.
The foreman nodded to himself, and the three beggars smiled happily.
But the foreman ordered: "Bring these three beggars and the dead back to the yamen!" ”
The beggars were frightened again, and the old beggar hurriedly asked, "My lord, why is this?" ”
"I ask you, did you kill this man?" The foreman asked.
“…… Be. The old beggar hesitated.
"Even if you have killed you, I will bring it back and examine it." If this person is really the national thief Zeng Biao, he will naturally give you a great reward; If this person is not, then I'm sorry, the three of you are going to eat in prison! Take! The foreman gave an order, and without saying anything, he brought the three beggars and the deceased back to the yamen.
In the yamen of the governor of Suzhou, Lord Zhizhou was squatting beside the deceased, carefully identifying.
Lord Zhizhou once had the honor of seeing Zeng Biao twice when Zeng Biao went back and forth to arrest the Zheng brothers, but at this time, Zeng Biao's face was swollen and sunken, bruised and pale, and it was really difficult.
As the minutes passed, the three beggars standing on the side were tormented.
Lord Zhizhou got up, washed his hands, and walked towards the three beggars.
The foreman's official asked, "My lord, do you recognize it?" ”
"Hurry up and untie the three heroes, the deceased is indeed the national thief Zeng Biao!" Zhizhou is humane.
The three beggars were overjoyed, and the old beggar smiled and said, "I'll just say, I looked for him according to the appearance of a national thief, how could there be a mistake." ”
Lord Zhizhou asked the officials to loosen the ties of the three beggars, and gave them stools to sit on, saying: "The national thief Zeng Biao, who absconded in fear of crime, everyone will be punished!" This official wants to send the head of the national thief to the capital immediately, and if the three of them have any wishes, they may as well say it. If you ask about it above, the official can also help you talk about it. ”
The two little beggars looked at the old beggar, and it was all up to him.
The old beggar said, "We will only beg for food, nothing else, and no amount of money will be of any use to give us." I just want to beg in the future, so that I can no longer be looked down upon, and I can not starve to death. ”
The two little beggars nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”
The foreman said in his heart: "Are these the three Tie Hanhan?" ”
Lord Zhizhou thinks that the old beggar wants to fish rather than fish, but a long-term plan, which shows that the old beggar still has vision.
Lord Zhizhou said: "Okay, as you wish, this official will be truthful." Before the capital replied to the news, I also asked the three of them to take it with them in the yamen for the time being, and the official was afraid that it would be difficult to find you at that time. Rest assured, eat, drink, and stay! ”
The excerpt from Suzhou and Zeng Biao's head were sent to Kyoto on a fast horse, and Wu Luan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received the head and the fold, and asked people to check it many times to confirm that the head was the national thief Zeng Biao.
Wu Lan didn't dare to slack off, and hurried into the palace to tell the emperor the good news.
Zeng Biao absconded, but the emperor and hundreds of officials were sick together.
The emperor summoned Wu Lan, listened to Wu Luan's words, and carefully watched the folds submitted by the Suzhou Zhizhou, and finally let go of a big stone in his heart.
Wu Lan asked carefully: "Does the emperor still want to inspect it himself?" ”
"I'm not looking, bad luck. Wu Aiqing verified her identity, and I was naturally relieved. The emperor smiled again, "I didn't expect Zeng Biao to die at the hands of a beggar!" Did the beggar say that he wanted good land, or money? ”
Wu Lu said: "The beggar himself said that when he wants to beg in the future, he will no longer be looked down upon by others, and he will not starve to death." ”
The emperor thought for a while and said, "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, I have a way." I gave him an iron rice bowl that was 'begging by order', and whoever saw this iron rice bowl must give alms! ”
"The emperor is a great talent!" Wu Lan was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, "But what if other beggars snatch this job?" ”
"Or Aiqing is thoughtful. In this case, wouldn't it be a perfect solution to the problem by carving the names of the three beggars on it? ”
"The Emperor Shengming!"
Since then, there has been a beautiful talk of "iron rice bowl begging" on the rivers and lakes, which has been popular after tea and dinner.
Today is the Chinese New Year. The snowflakes stopped at night, and the ground was nearly a foot thick.
Ruixue is a mega year, and it will definitely be another prosperous year year after year.
In Prince Xiang's Mansion, there are now more than 30 people up and down, except for a few who go home for the New Year, there are four tables for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Wang's mother led the kitchen team and was busy all day.
Qu Ping was hospitable and asked everyone to gather together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and spend the New Year together.
The maids are grateful, how can there be such a good prince in the world?
Xiao Lu laughed at his companions and said, "It's rare and weird, it's like this every year in our house!" Wow early tomorrow morning, everyone remember to give the princess and princess a New Year's greeting early, there are big red envelopes! ”
Xiaohong choked: "Then don't hide outside the prince's bedroom and wait!" ”
"How could I ......" is a Chinese of the net
"There was a year ......"
Xiao Lu blocked Xiao Hong's mouth with his hand, glared at her and said, "The prince is going to speak." ”
Xiaohong raised her chin proudly: "Remember to bribe me!" ”
Qu Ping and Zhao Ping'er took Han'er, Dingbei, plus Wu Zhishen, Zheng Guang, Zhu Shuzhen, and Xiao Hei, and everyone sat at a table. Xiao Lu couldn't go out to suffer the wind, of course, she took Dingnan in the room, and there were two nurses on the side to help take care of Dingzhong.
Wang Ma knew her identity, and sat at the same table with Steward Huang, Ah Gang Ah Zheng, and Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu.
Qu Ping got up, pressed his hand on the big guy, and said in the opening remarks: "One yuan is renewed, and everything is renewed!" It's the most anticipated and lively day of the year again! In the past year, there have been ups and downs, more sunny days, potholes, and more avenues leading to the sky! ”
There was spontaneous applause from everyone!
"Thank you for your dedication this year! When you pay, you will definitely get something! This king is with you with all my heart, and I hope you will be with all my heart with me! Qu Ping raised his glass, "Don't say much, Happy New Year!" ”
"Happy New Year!" Everyone raised their glasses and cheered with joy.
Zhao Ping'er got up again and said, "Little red and green, Ah Gang Ah Zheng, you have been in my house for eight or nine years. Your private affairs have not escaped my eyes! ”
The four people who were named lowered their heads embarrassedly, and the masses who didn't know the truth were very curious, could it be that they still dared to eat inside and out and do things that were sorry for the palace?
"You guys, get married!"
Zhao Ping'er's words were amazing, which made everyone dumbfounded.
Then, everyone cheered and applauded together: "Marriage! Get married! ……”
Xiaohong blushed shyly, lowered her head and said, "The house is ...... How can you get married? When he said the last two words, he almost couldn't hear them.
Zhao Ping'er said: "Why not? If you become a parent, you can still do things in the house, one yard to one yard! If you want to avoid suspicion, I will help you buy a field or make a small business, you can do it! ”
Steward Huang smiled: "So good! Why don't you say yes? My old Huang wants to get married! ”
Wang's mother lowered her head to eat the vegetables, pretending not to hear.
Qu Ping didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said, "Then you three pairs, together!" ”
Steward Huang glanced at Wang Ma, but said, "Forget it, when I am old, I can serve the princess and princess with peace of mind, and I will be satisfied!" ”
Wang Ma slowed down her chewing movements, she was a little relieved and a little lost.
Zhao Ping'er saw Ah Gang Ah Zheng bowing her head and was silent, and said by name: "Ah Gang Ah Zheng, a dignified man, don't you dare to be a big husband?" Do you want to be single for the rest of your life? You're all too old! ”
Ah Gang said in a hurry: "I'm just afraid...... They didn't agree. ”
Xiaohong grinned and said, "If you don't ask, how can people answer?" ”
Ah Zheng plucked up the courage and said: "It's all up to the prince and princess!" ”
"My own business, but I want to call the shots." Qu Ping muttered, "Okay, after the beginning of the year, choose a good day, and the two of you will get married together!" ”
Xiaohong, Xiaolu, Ah Gang and Ah Zheng bowed together and said, "Thank you, Lord and Princess!" ”
"Eat and drink!" Qu Ping beckoned everyone to continue, then sat down and asked Zhao Ping'er in a low voice, "The four of them, who is with whom?" ”
Zhao Ping'er said: "I said I guessed blindly, do you believe it?" ”
"Wouldn't it? You mandarin duck score ......" Qu Ping almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Zhao Ping'er asked Zhu Shuzhen: "Do you know Shuzhen?" ”
Zhu Shuzhen blocked one side of her face with her hand to prevent others from seeing it, and said, "Xiaohong and Ah Gang, Xiao Lu and Ah Zheng!" ”
Qu Ping said: "Shuzhen, you don't have to study, waste time to be a paparazzi, and you will do your business next year!" ”
Wu Zhi said in his heart: "What is the paparazzi? I haven't heard of it in half my life. ”
Zhu Shuzhen shouted: "People are still young! Come, I toast my brother-in-law and wish my brother-in-law ...... Full of children! "Qu Ping is already a very popular minister, and he doesn't need any financial resources, he is young, strong, and healthy, so he can only wish him a full house.
Qu Ping clinked glasses with her and said, "The house is full of children, and I will wait to ask your two good sisters if they are willing or not!" ”
Zhao Ping'er hurriedly said: "No!" I don't want to spend all my good youth on having children! ”
"Hahaha! This cup is for the husband and wife! Qu Ping then whispered to Zhao Ping'er, "That's the crystallization of joy." ”
Zhao Ping'er wrung him angrily.
Qu Ping ate with everyone for a while, then brought a plate of food soup and went to comfort Xiao Lu in the labor room.
Dingzhong and Dingnan were sleeping in the two cradles respectively, and Qu Ping asked the two nurses to go to eat first, and just greeted Xiao Lu and the child by himself.
Xiao Lu sat up from the bed and said, "You can put it there, I can do it myself." ”
"What can I do, today is the Chinese New Year, how can I bear to let you be alone." Qu Ping said as he put the meal on the table, moved the table to the side of the bed softly, and then looked at the two sons in the cradle, "Son, are you saying that Dad is right?" ”
Xiao Lu was moved, took a sip of chicken soup, ate some rice, and said, "My appetite is much better now." ”
"If you have a good appetite, eat more, drink more soup and milk!" Qu Ping said. The two wet nurses invited are only responsible for taking care of the mother and child, just like the confinement sisters. A child who grows up eating his mother's milk is the purest.
"How's it going outside, you're gone?"
"With Ping'er, the atmosphere won't be cold!"
"Yes."
Qu Ping quietly looked at Xiao Lu, who was eating peacefully, and his two sleeping sons, and suddenly said, "If one day, another world beckons to me, will you go with me?" ”
