Chapter 102: Serendipity
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. The thousand bells have been stored in the palace for thirty years, and the imperial family also likes to use this wine bottle to drink...... Until there was a fire in the palace, the palace maid took advantage of the chaos to steal Qianzhong out of the palace and take it to HB to be bought by Wang Wu, a servant of Liang Dawan, the prefect of Fanyang.
Soon, Liang Dawan was framed by traitors in the court, saying that during his time as an official in Fan Yang, he was corrupt and bent the law, and bullied the good people with his power. The emperor listened to the slander of the traitorous ministers, and demoted him to the people and exiled him to Lingnan Xinzhou.
It turned out that three days ago, Liang Dawan returned to Wanping to visit relatives, and on the way back, he walked on the rugged path in the mountains and heard a woman crying for help in the hazel forest.
"Let's go and see." Liang Dawan and his entourage Liang Bing quickly ran towards the place where they called for help, and saw a young woman crying and shouting. Her skirt was torn off, her dirty clothes were torn into strips, and her snow-white carcass was exposed, making people dare not look at it directly.
Next to the woman, a richly dressed man was hurriedly putting on his underwear, and not far away several people who looked like domestic slaves were squatting on the grass, chatting with their backs to the man.
Seeing this, Liang Dawan knew what was happening, and rushed forward and shouted at the man, "What are you doing?"
The man was wearing his underwear and said, "I ......"
The young woman wore her hair and tied her skirt, stood up, poked at the man, and cried to the adult: "This guy intercepted me halfway and violently attacked me." ”
"The thief wants to catch the stolen goods." Liang Dawan rushed forward and snatched the green satin pants that the man was still resting on the tree before he had time to put them on.
Seeing this, the man rushed forward with an arrow step, trying to take back his pants, but was flashed by Liang Dawan.
The man pounced a few times, but still couldn't get his pants back.
The man was angry: "You snatched my pants, it's such a big dog's guts." Do you know who I am?"
Liang Dawan asked rhetorically, "Who are you?"
The man straightened his chest and put on a great momentum: "I am Leng Liangjian, the eldest son of Leng Gui, the imperial history of the Ministry of Officials of this dynasty." ”
Liang Dawan sank his face: "As a child of an official family, he should be a model of abiding by the law, how can he be a woman from a good family in this mountain and wilderness?" Are you guilty?"
Leng Liangjian has always been a bully, how could he bow his head to Liang Dawan, and waved his hand at the house slaves: "Up!"
Seeing that there were only two people on the other side, the house slaves did not put them in their eyes, hula hula, surrounded them, raised their fists, and attacked Liang Dawan and Liang Bing.
Liang Bing has been a martial arts since elementary school, and was once taught by a monk of Shaolin Temple, only to see him in the fist and palm, those who only rely on evil but do not know martial arts domestic slaves beat their noses and faces swollen, calling their fathers and mothers, "ouch" and calling pain.
Leng Liangjian saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to take the road and escape.
Unexpectedly, Liang Bing ran faster than him, and after chasing more than ten zhang, he reached out and grabbed Leng Liangjian's collar, and shouted: "Don't want to run for your life!" Leng Liangjian grabbed it like an eagle catching a chicken and threw it to the ground. Leng Liangjian was smashed on the stone with his buttocks, and he gritted his teeth in pain, so he was not embarrassed.
The group of house slaves wanted to come forward to help, but they were beaten by Liang Bing again, and they fled and ran back to the Imperial History Mansion to report the news.
Liang Dawan asked the woman for a confession, and was furious, and took Leng Liangjian, a well-dressed beast, and some physical evidence back to the government and locked him in prison.
Liang Dawan has not yet had time to file a case for trial. That night, Leng Yushi had already heard the news and roared loudly at Liang Dawan: "You can be described as bold enough to arrest my son." ”
Liang Dawan did not flinch, and said bluntly: "Leng Liangjian committed the crime of raping people's girls, and I only know how to arrest the criminals." ”
Leng Yushi glared at the bull's eye: "Don't you stare wide-eyed and take a look, what kind of person I am in the court." ”
Liang Dawan was young and vigorous at this time, and he didn't understand the dark and powerful relationship between officialdom, and said in a tough tone: "Since ancient times, there has been a way that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. As an imperial historian, you are an important minister of the imperial court, and you should educate your son well, how can you indulge him and let him behave recklessly in society?"
"You!" Leng Yushi is also an iron-fisted figure in the imperial court, and he has ever been so contradicted. His face turned blue with anger, and he was very ugly, "If you are interested, you will release him immediately." ”
Liang Dawan believes that Leng Liangjian is a ** people's daughter, and there are all human and material evidence, how can she be easily released. Leng Yushi saw that the hard set was not good, so he changed his smiling face and promised that if Liang Dawan released him, in addition to giving back three hundred taels of gold in return, he also tried to make his official position three levels higher.
Liang Dawan handled the case impartially and refused on the spot.
Leng Yushi's combination of soft and hard could not work, and he was furious: "You, the prefect with the size of a sesame mung bean, a five-grade petty official, actually dared to compete with me." ”
Liang Dawan was righteous and awe-inspiring: "My official position is indeed much smaller than yours, but I have justice in my hands, so I am not afraid of power." ”
"Wait and see!" Leng Yushi saw that Liang Dawan refused to buy it, and after dropping a sentence viciously, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Two days later, Leung Tat-wan had recorded Leng Liangjian's confession and was preparing to open the trial; The Ministry of Officials has arrived on a piece of paper, saying that Liang Dawan was corrupt and bent the law during Fan Yang's official period, bullied the good people with his power, demoted him to the people, exiled him to Nanyue Xinzhou, and left immediately.
"Where is the law of the land! What is the right thing to do!" Liang Dawan paused abruptly and shouted to the sky.
But at this time, it is called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual.
Liang Dawan, who has no way to complain, has no choice but to go on the road tomorrow with hatred under the urging of tolerance. The servant Wang Wu followed all the way.
From the north to Lingnan, thousands of miles away, along the way the miasma rampant, Liang Dawan along the way hard preparation, finally came to this southern barbarian land.
By coincidence, in this way, after several twists and turns, Qianzhong was finally brought back to the homeland of Lingnan Xinzhou by Liang Dawan's servant Wang Wu without anyone knowing it and unknowingly.
After escorting Liang Dawan to report to Xinzhou, Wang Wu returned to HB Fanyang.
Xinzhou Liu Thorn Shi knew that Liang Dawan was an upright person, but he was only killed by a traitor, so he also let him go, not treating him as an exiled prisoner, but telling him to go to the countryside near Yuncheng to settle down.
Liang Dawan came to Liantang Village at the foot of Haogang Xianshan alone, and soon heard the news that his parents were dying. When he was extremely depressed, he was comforted by Li Hexiang, an old man in the countryside in the nearby Guancun. The two talked a lot, and Li Langzhong saw that Liang Dawan was talented and had a good character, so he married his daughter to Liang Dawan as his wife.
Liang Dawan settled down in Liantang Village. Here the water is beautiful and the mountains are green, the forests are green, the two husbands and wives are farming and weaving, the husband sings and the women follow, and the faint reputation of Liang Dawan lives freely in this mountain wilderness.
But there is one thing that makes Liang Dawan feel bored and regretful: he has been married to Li for more than ten years and has not yet been able to give birth to children.
One dusk in the middle of summer, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sunset smeared the earth red.
After Liang Dawan harvested the sun-dried rice, he sat on a bamboo chair under the soaphorn tree in front of his house, and used a rotten sunflower fan to cool off while looking at the undulating Gangxian Mountain in the distance.
Suddenly, there was a cry of large and small birds overhead, and when I looked up, I saw a mother bird in the tree, holding a small worm, feeding a few small birds in the nest. When a bird grabbed the food, it chirped and was very excited.
Touching the scene!
Liang Dawan really couldn't imagine that he was upright and did many good deeds all his life, but why did the sky make people, the wrinkles on his wife's forehead gradually increased and deepened with the passage of time, but she never became pregnant.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Liang Dawan woke up from his stunned stupor at this time, looked down, and asked his wife Li.
Liang Dawan shook his head again and again and denied: "No...... Nothing ......."
Li Shi pierced with a word: "Husband, don't deceive me." You have something to worry about, and tears are falling from the corners of your eyes. ”
Liang Dawan wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, only to know that there were already tears on them, so he had to sigh: "Alas-"
Li's tone was full of apologies: "Husband, no heirs, as a man. It's extra upset. I have been married to you for so many years and have not given birth to any offspring for you, and every time I think about it, my heart not only feels guilty, but it also aches. ”
Liang Dawan comforted: "Madam, how can you be blamed for this? I have a responsibility, too. ”
Li's teeth bit his lip for a long time before he said, "Husband, I have thought of a way. ”
