No one can answer this question.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, there have been several major cases, two of which have even been punished for rebellion. The words that Lou Min said before were not all alarmist.

The next time an official comes to the door, who knows if the lives of these people in the Lou family are still there?

Zheng Xian'er sat in a daze for a long time, and suddenly shook her head: "No! The official kept saying that it was 'Chu Zhongtan's anti-poetry case', which shows that this case is not our family's business! At most, the two sons of our family are implicated, and it is not a dead end! Mrs. and sister-in-law, we can't panic at this time! ”

"You're right, we can't panic......" Mrs. Lou grabbed Zheng Xian'er's wrists with both hands, like a drowning person grabbing driftwood, and refused to let go.

Hu Shi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's right! Both of them are scholars and scholars, and they rarely write poems to show off their talents, and it is impossible for them to write any 'anti-poems'! I don't know exactly what's going on now, so we can't mess with ourselves! ”

The girls in the hall echoed all the words when they heard this, and the atmosphere seemed to be much more relaxed than before.

But everyone knows in their hearts that this is nothing more than self-deception.

Everyone knows that the two sons of the Lou family are Mr. Chu's tall feet, especially the fifth son, Lou Que, is his proud protégé who must boast when he meets people. Now that Mr. Chu has committed an accident, how can the Lou family stay out of the matter?

Although the whole clan will not be affected, those two sons are destined to not escape!

Zheng Xian'er desperately sorted out what little she knew in her heart, and it took a long time before she muttered: "I remember that before the Wanshou Festival, they said that they were compiling a collection of poems, which was compiled by Mr. Chu...... Could it be that this time the incident was caused by that collection of poems? ”

Hu stomped his feet and said: "Whether it is or not, as long as it has something to do with Mr. Chu, my family may not be able to escape!" Brother and sister, I'm stupid, and I have to figure out how to do things now...... I don't know if they have suffered, we have to see people to rest assured! ”

Zheng Xian'er lowered her head, avoiding the eager gaze.

How much can she know about the affairs of the academy and the affairs of the literati? She herself is the stupid girl who has never seen the world and comes out of a small family, okay!

The saddest thing is that others are worried and scared, at least they can shed a few tears, but she is not even qualified to shed tears!

Zheng Xian'er's identity is special, as long as the Lou family does not commit a real crime of rebellion, she will not be implicated. Therefore, everyone else can cry and make a mess, but she must stand up and become the backbone of this family with the most rational and calm attitude.

However, she will also be worried, afraid, and distressed for a man who has not been able to come home all night......

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at a loss, and suddenly it was reported outside that Alin had returned.

Mrs. Lou hurriedly shouted: "Quick, let him come in!" ”

Ah Lin ran up to the hall in three steps and two steps, and while wiping the ice ballast on his eyebrows with his sleeve, he said hurriedly: "Mrs., grandma, I'm afraid we're really in trouble this time!" The gate of the academy has been sealed, and the official messenger is busy moving things out from the side door, which are said to be some great rebellious manuscripts, historical materials and poems! Mr. Chu and Mr. Lin have been imprisoned, and our uncle and fifth master are still locked up in the academy and are not allowed to move around, nor do they let outsiders see them - the little one waited there all morning, and he didn't even see the shadow of the two masters! ”

Hu Shi was already anxious when he heard this: "I haven't been convicted, what's the matter if I'm locked up in the academy?" Did they eat? Where do you sleep at night? ”

Alin shook his head again and again, not knowing what to ask.

Hu stood up, pulled his legs and ran out: "Prepare the carriage!" I'm going to the academy! ”

The little girl hurriedly lifted the curtain to send her out, but when she looked up, she saw Aunt An supporting the sallow old man of Lou, trembling and walking over to this side.

Hu had no choice but to suppress his temperament and stand at the door and wait.

Zheng Xian'er also got up and walked to the door, and asked first, "The master is here for the affairs of the academy, right?" Now the facts of the case are unknown, the two sons are still locked up in the academy, and the sister-in-law is afraid that they will be guilty and wants to go and see, I think...... Should we go and meet the Li County Commander first? ”

The old man Lou was so sick that he moved under his feet for a long time, and he tried seven or eight times before stepping into the threshold.

When everyone saw this, their hearts were even more sad.

If Old Man Lou fell down at this critical juncture, the Lou family would almost disperse.

A scattered Lou family, I'm afraid there is only one left to be slaughtered!

Hu couldn't wait, and was about to rush out of the door immediately, but the old man Lou called Aunt An to stop her.

Mrs. Lou hurriedly said, "Does the master have a way?" ”

Old Man Lou sat down with difficulty and shook his head slowly: "No way, just wait...... We can only wait. ”

"How can you wait for such a thing!" Hu Shi was so anxious that he shed tears again, "If you fall into the hands of the official, you have to shed your skin if you don't die!" ”

Zheng Xian'er walked back to her place and sat down, and asked urgently: "Why can't you find Li County Order?" He didn't take our money before! ”

"Alas......" Old Man Lou let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lou had to wipe the corners of her eyes and explain for him: "Li Xian Ling is from Lin Lao's side, and he has always been at odds with the master...... Don't look at how much he usually collects your money, if something happens, he won't let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground! ”

Zheng Xian'er was stunned for a moment, and her eyes immediately dimmed.

She didn't know who the "old thief Lin" was, and she couldn't understand the twists and turns in the officialdom.

Previously, she was only an ordinary corrupt official in Li County, and she still had some hope in her heart, but now she ......

That road can't be taken, do you really have to sit still?

"Master, you want to think about it, we can't wait!" Mrs. Lou also panicked.

Old Man Lou still just shook his head: "Just wait." At most, they will suffer a little, and they will be fine. ”

Zheng Xian'er looked at Old Man Lou's determined expression and was thoughtful.

Hu Shi had already jumped up: "Such a big crime, how can it be okay!" If you don't care, let's figure it out ourselves! ”

"Bastard!" Old Man Lou slapped the table in anger, panting and almost turning his back on his back.

Mrs. Lou had no choice but to ask someone to hold down Hu Shi and sighed: "The master said it's okay, then it must be fine." Since it is a major case, the county will definitely not dare to use the punishment at will, let alone hurt their lives. The people above will not care, you must wait patiently. ”

Hu Shi cried more and more, and hit his neck straight and said: "However, who can guarantee that the 'people above' will definitely help us?" Didn't Mrs. also say that there is someone in the capital of Li County? In this way, after the above sentence, we will only have to wait for death! ”

Old Man Lou reprimanded angrily: "Since you only have to wait for death, what's the use of you jumping up and down now!" You can still leave a way for Min'er to survive if you stay at home honestly, otherwise no one will be able to save him! ”

After saying this, the old man Lou no longer paid attention to others, and asked Aunt An to help him move out of the door little by little.

Hu had no choice but to continue to shed tears.

Zheng Xian'er looked at Mrs. Lou's face, and then thought about Old Man Lou's words, but she had a rough guess in her heart.

That book of poems was given to the emperor to congratulate him on his birthday, so this case must have been made in the capital in the first place. Sangyu County should only be temporarily detained pending trial.

The boss will definitely take care of this matter, maybe send a big official, or maybe mention it to the government or even the capital to try it. In any case, it is obviously useless to go to the Li County Order.

Now it's up to us to see who is sent from above.

Listening to Mrs. Lou's meaning, the Chinese military officials of the DPRK also seem to have their own factions. If it is the old man Lou who is in charge of this matter, then everything is easy to do; Otherwise, everything is over.

Now it seems that the Lou family really can't do anything, so they can only wait honestly, just be careful not to ask people to grab the pigtails next to them.

Zheng Xian'er secretly thought: Lou Que's time in the capital is not short, no matter what, he will definitely make a few friends. This matter may not have turned around!

However, it is one thing to understand the truth, and it is another thing to be able to get by in your heart.

Listening to Hu's sobbing and crying, Zheng Xian'er became more and more unable to sit still, and simply stood up again.

Mrs. Lou looked at her vigilantly: "What are you going to do?!" ”

Zheng Xian'er stomped her feet and said: "Even if you are a prisoner, there is no reason not to allow anyone to visit the prison, let alone not a prisoner now!" I still think we need to take a look, otherwise we will always have black eyes like now, all of which are asking others to lead the way, when will we have a little clue! Besides, what if they're in trouble and waiting for help from home? ”

When Hu Shi heard this, he stopped crying, looked up and said, "I think so too, I'll go with you!" ”

Mrs. Lou hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded: "Whether you see it or not, come back as soon as possible." Don't cause trouble. ”

Zheng Xian'er responded, grabbed Hu Shi, who was about to go out immediately, first asked someone to prepare a meal, and specially instructed to make more dry food and bring it over together when the time came.

Hu woke up like a dream, and was busy and asked people to prepare bedding and daily toiletries.

Zheng Xian'er hurriedly stopped and said with a wry smile: "There is no such reason!" Those eagles and dogs in the yamen are all dedicated to watching people suffer and suffer, and we are afraid that we will not be able to send them in if we bring more things! One more thing, if there are a lot of people in their academy locked up in one place, and we only send good things in, wouldn't others be sad when they see it? Now is not the time to complain about making enemies for them! ”

Hu Shi wanted to refute at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he stopped.

Yes, you can't offend anyone......

In the current situation, the last thing you can offend is all kinds of villains!

Mrs. Lou also persuaded her: "Go and come back if you go and see, you don't have to bring anything over!" The case hasn't been decided yet, so it's unlucky to send the futon in at this time! ”

When Hu Shi heard this, he had no choice but to give up, so he asked someone to pack up a few thick clothes and come over, and waited anxiously for a few meals to be made in the kitchen, and then took Zheng Xian'er and hurried out of the door together.

Along the way, Hu's face was tense, and anyone could see her nervousness.

Who wouldn't be nervous? This kind of thing is rare for ordinary people to encounter once in their lives!

How could a good reader get into a lawsuit?

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the academy, and sure enough, I saw many officials coming in and out, and I didn't know what they were busy with. There were a lot of writing papers scattered in the open space outside the gate, and no one dared to approach them for a while.

It seems that you can't get in.

Zheng Xian'er was worried, but when she looked up, she saw Li Xian Ling walking out of it surrounded by several officials.

It's too late to get avoided.

When Li Xian Ling saw the two of them, he immediately walked over with a frown: "What are you doing here?" ”

Zheng Xian'er settled down and smiled: "I don't know how presumptuous it is for adults to work here, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Li County Lingpi said with a smile: "The lower official has official business, it is inconvenient to chat, Lou San's grandmother, please go back!" ”

Zheng Xian'er stood in the middle of the road and held her head high: "I don't dare to disturb the adult's business, but my eldest brother and five brothers didn't return to the house last night, and the in-laws at home were very worried, so I sent my sister-in-law and me to ask, and asked the adults to be accommodating, so that we can see the two of them." ”

Li Xian Ling put his hands behind his back, and his nostrils turned to the sky and "hummed": "Don't worry, when the lawsuit is over, there will naturally be a time for you to meet!" ”

Zheng Xian'er couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and Hu Shi was already angry at the side: "Even death row prisoners are not allowed to visit prisons, right?" Now that the case has not been tried, why lock up our men and not let us meet! ”

"You men?" Li Xianling narrowed the corners of his eyes and glanced at Zheng Xian'er meaningfully.

Hu Shi knew that he had missed his mouth, and immediately grabbed Zheng Xian'er's hand helplessly.

Zheng Xian'er smiled lightly and sighed: "My sister-in-law has an upright temperament, and if she offends, please invite your adult Haihan." Adults also know that the second brother of our family is not successful, and the old lady has been looking forward to the eldest brother and the fifth brother all her life. This time, the two brothers had an accident, and the family was in a hurry. Please also forgive me for the painstaking efforts of being parents, and also be considerate and considerate of these old and weak women and children in our house - if his two brothers don't go back, the Lou family won't even have a man who can provoke the beams. ”

It took her a long time to distort "our man" into "our man". As for whether Li Xianling will think about it much, it is no longer something she can control.

Li Xianling squinted at her for a long time, not saying "yes" or "no".

Zheng Xian'er estimated in her heart that he was waiting for filial piety.

In normal times, Zheng Xian'er is happy to spend money to eliminate disasters; But at this particular time, she won't do anything that might give someone authority.

Therefore, Zheng Xian'er just held Hu's hand and quietly waited for Li County's reply.

After a long time, Li Xian Ling let out a sneer: "This county is willing to understand Mr. Lou and Mrs. Lou's hard work as parents, but I wonder if the Lou family will understand the hard work of this county as a father?" My son Yanqing was beaten by your fifth son and can't get out of bed now, who should I beg to go? My daughter-in-law is six or seven months pregnant, and she is bedridden after this blow, who can understand her hard work as a wife and mother? ”

Zheng Xian'er only then remembered that there was such a thing, and she was speechless for a while.

It was impossible for her to tell Li Xianling about the causes and consequences of Li Geng's beating, so no matter how angry Li Xianling was in her heart at this time, she and Lou Que could only bear it.

That's a problem.

Now that the crime is in the hands of Li County Order, how can he not declare his personal vendetta!

"What should I do?" Hu Shi was so anxious that his palms were sweating.

Zheng Xian'er was only more anxious in her heart, but she couldn't think of any way at the moment.

It will not be useful to kneel and kowtow to apologize; Sending money and things may be useful, but it is more likely to be used by the angry Li County Commander to take advantage of the problem and add a crime of bribery to Lou Que and them.

Is this going to be the end of it?

But now that she knows that Li Xianling is holding a grudge, how can she go back with confidence!

From yesterday afternoon to now, Lou Que doesn't know how much he has lost!

Thinking of this, Zheng Xian'er's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and she didn't know whether to hate Li Geng or herself.

Li Xianling admired Zheng Xian'er's face as if she was dead, and felt a little happy in her heart, but she soon became impatient.

Today's Zheng Xian'er is obviously far less smart and cute than Zheng Xian'er, who went to him for gifts two times before.

What a bad luck!

Li Xian Ling scolded in his heart, raised his legs and left.

The servant behind him immediately understood and began to pick people off very unceremoniously.

At this moment, Zheng Xian'er suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her: "What are you doing here?" ”

It's Li Geng!

Zheng Xian'er immediately turned around, and her face involuntarily showed joy.

Li Geng turned the corner of the wall and saw her, stunned for a moment, and his face turned red inexplicably.

Zheng Xian'er then remembered that she had never given him a good face.

She smiled and hurriedly walked over: "Master Li." ”

Li Geng avoided her gaze and looked at Li County Order: "Father, why did you suddenly close the academy?" Mr. Chu, they ......"

Li Xian Ling frowned, his face was not good: "This matter has nothing to do with you." Why don't you recuperate in the house, what are you doing here? ”

Li Geng hurriedly said: "Father, you personally sent me to Mr. Chu to study, you know his old man's personality!" ”

Li Xianling's face became a little more ugly: "Chu Zhongtan is guilty or innocent, and he has someone from above to investigate and interrogate him in detail, how can you count it if you say it casually?" Why don't you get me home! ”

"Okay," Li Geng straightened his back, "I don't have the right to interfere in Mr. Chu's affairs, but I should always go in and squat with my classmates, right?" I participated in the matter of repairing the poetry collection, but now that something has happened, I have no reason to stay out of it! The father is a county parent official, does he want to bend the law for his son's personal gain? ”

"You...... Nonsense, just nonsense! Li Xian Ling was so angry that his beard flew up.

The bruises on Li Geng's face were still there, but he didn't care about it, and he held his head high and calm.

This gesture made Zheng Xian'er admire it a little.

"Come on, drag the eldest young master back!" Li Xianling gritted his teeth and gave an order.

Li Geng staggered back two steps, and Zheng Xian'er noticed that his leg was lame, and she didn't know what had happened to the injury.

Lou Que said that he had to lie down until the New Year. If it's all skin trauma, it shouldn't be!

Seeing that the officials were about to come over and pull, Li Geng leaned against the wall and stared coldly into Li County's eyes: "Father, many people in the academy are famous, and you have no right to detain them before the case is decided!" If you insist on treating them as criminals, your son will have no choice but to sue Xuezheng and ask them to administer justice! ”

Li Xianling was almost angry with this dead-eyed son.

But angry is angry, he still had to patiently explain several reasons, such as "there is an order from above that it has to be like this", "it is very likely that he will abscond in fear of crime after being released" and so on.

Li Geng still said the same thing, insisting on going in and locking up with the people inside.

The father and son argued for a long time, and finally took a step back: Li County Ling agreed to Li Geng's visit, and promised to provide simple bedding and food for the people involved; Li Geng agreed to return home to recuperate after the visit, which can be regarded as parole pending trial.

After reaching an agreement, Li Xianling seemed to be deeply affected and went straight away with the officials.

Li Geng was supported by a small servant and slowly walked in front of Zheng Xian'er: "My father doesn't know the inside story, if there is any offense, please ask Miss Zheng for forgiveness." ”

Zheng Xian'er avoided his gaze and said lightly: "Parents love their children the same, and Master Li has reason to be angry." ”

Li Geng licked the corners of his lips a little helplessly, and said again: "I will state my position to my father, and I will never let Tongjie be wronged because of me." There is still room for manoeuvre in this case, so please let Ms. Cheng relax for the time being. ”

Zheng Xian'er nodded: "Thank you Li Gongzi for that." The elders in my family were not at ease, so they sent me and my sister-in-law to see them, and asked Mr. Li to help us go in. ”

Li Geng hurriedly agreed, and only then did he have time to greet the Hu family.

Hu Shi was already so anxious that his throat was about to burst into flames.

But the academy is surprisingly large. The three of them walked through the hall of the first entrance, and walked along the corridor for a long time, thinking that they had arrived, but after entering, it was a place where they usually studied, and they had to go inside again to find someone.

Hu's feet were walking faster and faster, but Zheng Xian'er had to take care of Li Geng's injury, so she had to suppress her anxiety and slow down.

Parallel to Li Geng, the atmosphere is a little awkward.

Of course, Li Geng was the only one who was embarrassed. Zheng Xian'er was full of thoughts about Lou Que, and she couldn't care about anything else at this time.

Seeing that Hu Shi was far ahead, Li Geng lowered his voice and said, "Those few people, I have already dealt with them according to Tongjie's instructions. If you are still angry, I am still willing to do as you tell me......"

"That's it," Zheng Xian'er said in a low voice, "it's all over." ”

Li Geng's face was obviously much more relaxed.

Zheng Xian'er looked at him apologetically: "Tongjie said that he beat you, I didn't believe it before, I didn't expect him to really make a heavy hand." You...... Nothing big, right? ”

Li Geng smiled awkwardly: "This is what I deserve." I heard that you were sick a while ago, so I guess ......"

Zheng Xian'er reluctantly showed a smile: "It's not worth mentioning." It's good to be alive. ”

Li Geng seemed to feel something, and let out a long sigh.

Turning the corner of the road, Hu Shi was waiting in front. Seeing the two coming side by side, she couldn't help frowning.

Li Geng pointed to a row of houses in the back: "It should be there." I'll talk to someone else first when I get in, and you try to make a long story short. ”

Zheng Xian'er nodded in response, and Hu Shi had already moved his little feet and ran in quickly.

Then there was a commotion inside.

"Why are you here?!" Lou Min's exclamation was heard very clearly outside.

Zheng Xian'er stood at the door and pulled her cloak, covering her entire face, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Then he walked in.

It turned out to be a large study, but the bookshelves in it were mostly empty, the table and the floor were full of paper, and the chairs and corners were full of people, and it seemed that there were always more than a dozen.

Zheng Xian'er saw Lou Que sitting on a pile of paper at a glance.

Lou Que also saw her, and her eyes, which were originally a little dim, immediately lit up.
