Chapter 130: Grievances and Snow
Mo You has been waiting for the news that Xu Longzhi was killed by Fan Daguan, but more than ten days have passed, but it is calm, so he moved around to find out the news, and finally learned from the little guy in Fan's garden that this Fan Daguan not only did not beat Xu Longzhi, but also intended to put him in his own home. Now Mo Youke was angry, he originally wanted to kill him, how could he help him get into the rich man's house, so he spread rumors around spreading bad words about the Xu family, saying that Xu Fu was addicted to gambling and ruined the family property, and the Liu family was sent back to his parents' house because he did not abide by women's morals, and Xu Longzhi was weak and sick since he was a child, so he did not settle for marriage. These words reached the ears of Fan Daguan, and gradually this big official didn't want to marry his daughter to Xu Longzhi.
Besides, Xu Longzhi waited for a few days, and while Yizhihua's people were lax and didn't keep an eye on it, he fled with the old housekeeper at night, and the two of them, one master and one servant, came towards Yecheng. After walking for two days and two nights to get to the place, the first thing Xu Longzhi did when he lived in the inn was to inquire about his brother's whereabouts, but unfortunately no one knew about this person named Xu Fu, and he didn't find it for several days, and he looked at the entanglement and was about to run out, Xu Longzhi remembered his father's words before he died, looking for the Bohai Gao clan, but none of the people in the city knew about the Bohai Gao clan, they only knew that Gao Huan, the king of Qi, was from the six towns in the north.
In desperation, Xu Longzhi could only go to Dali Temple to sue the royal complaint first, but where is this royal complaint so easy, not to mention anything else, just say that it will take a month or two for him to wait in line for his turn, and the coiling on his body will be used up immediately, and if he waits for another month or two, it is estimated that he and the old housekeeper will have to beg along the street. When he returned to the inn, the old housekeeper had just returned, and both of them were at a loss, and the old housekeeper went around to inquire about Xu Fu's whereabouts but did not get any news.
At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, as if something big had happened, Xu Longzhi pushed open the window and looked on the street, it turned out that the female dependents of the Qi Wangfu had just returned from the Peach Blossom Nunnery outside the city, and the people on the street were curious to watch the marching procession, and commented on several ladies of Gao Huan. Xu Longzhi suddenly remembered that instead of waiting for news in the inn, why not risk his life to break into the palace of the king of Qi and ask King Gao Huan of Qi to make his decision, the most powerful person in the world today is counted as him.
Thinking of this, Xu Longzhi discussed with the old housekeeper, and the old housekeeper said very worriedly: "I'm afraid this won't work, in case someone is arrested as an assassin, how dangerous it is." Xu Longzhi had no better way at the moment, so he had the courage to give it a try, so he ignored the old housekeeper's obstruction, and asked the innkeeper about the specific location of the Qi Palace, and went out without looking back.
Gao Huan is still in Luoyang at the moment, Gao Zhongming is usually in charge of security work at the Yecheng family, this day Gao Han took Lou Mingchun, Caihuang, Gao Lan and others to the Peach Blossom Nunnery outside the city to pray for blessings and incense returns, just arrived at the gate of the Qi Palace, the escort was about to evacuate, at this time a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man knelt not far away with the shape in his hand and shouted injustice. Everyone was taken aback by his move, Gao Zhongming led someone to arrest him and was about to take him away.
Xu Longzhi was pressed to the ground and did not forget to wave the shape in his hand and shouted that he was wronged, Gao Zhongming snatched the scroll in his hand and read it carefully. This is the female dependents coming over under the leadership of Gao Han. Gao Hanshi asked, "What's the matter with this young man Zhongming?" Gao Zhongming hurriedly turned around and presented the form in his hand, and said respectfully: "Report to my uncle, this guy is here to complain, here is his case, please take a look at it." Gao Han took the form and pretended to look at it, but in fact, the old lady was illiterate at all, so she turned around and handed it to Lou Mingchun behind her and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's see how to deal with it." I'm a little tired today, and I want to go back to my room to rest. As she spoke, the old lady turned around and walked to the palace with the help of the maid. Lou Mingchun took the roll and said to Gao Han's family: "Yes, follow my mother's instructions, you go back and rest first, and I'll let the maid deliver the food to the house later." ”
Xu Longzhi was still pressed to the ground by several burly guards at this time, and he was almost out of breath. Lou Mingchun asked him to let him go, glanced at him and said, "It stands to reason that you should go to Dali Temple to vote for this matter, and it is useless to come to this Qi Palace." Xu Longzhi hurriedly replied: "The villain also knows that this matter is under the control of Dali Temple, but the little one is not entangled enough to be accepted by Dali Temple, so he came up with this method out of helplessness, and asked Mrs. to be accommodating and help hand the form to the prime minister." ”
Lou Mingchun took a cursory look at the content of the case, and said very easily: "Your case is not a big case that cannot be solved, why didn't you go to the yamen of the state capital to complain, but came to this Dali Temple?" Xu Longzhi briefly and concisely said his own experience, one of which was a flower about his torture and Taishou's acceptance of bribes, Lou Mingchun nodded and said: "I know, it's just that the prime minister is busy with official business now, and there are too many major things to deal with every day, I will entrust you with this matter to help you clear your grievances and take it home." ”
When Xu Longyi heard Lou Mingchun say this, he immediately knelt down for him and cried with joy: "The little one thanked Mrs., the great kindness is unforgettable." Lou Mingchun asked Gao Zhongming to go and invite Yang Xiuzhi, she had already heard Gao Huan say that Yang Xiuzhi's judgment was like a god, and there would be basically no problem in handing over this matter to him. Xu Longzhi was arranged in the gatehouse of the Qi Palace, waiting for news.
After an hour of effort, I saw a handsome scholar in his twenties walk in with Gao Zhongming, Gao Zhongming pointed to Xu Long's way: "It's this kid, it's him who sued the emperor." Yang Xiuzhi asked very kindly: "If you have any grievances, you can tell me in detail, and this official can help you wash away your grievances." Xu Longzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately deceived Mo You into deceiving Xu Fu to go to the casino, until he was sent to prison by Taishou and beaten into a trick, and all the things that Yizhihua sold his real estate for Yang Xiuzhi.
Yang Xiuzhi touched his chin after hearing this, and said with a slight smile: "This matter is very clear, that Mo You's person set a trap to harm your brother and lose all his family property, and that strongman with a flower borrowed usury to give your brother to occupy your family's property, Taishou is obviously protecting this person, needless to say, he must have accepted a bribe from a strongman." ”
Xu Longzhi cried and said: "Lord Qingtian, you are really Lord Qingtian, you must be the master of the students." Yang Xiuzhi smiled and said: "You give me the form, go back to the inn and wait for my news, and I will definitely give you a result in three days." Xu Longzhi took out the form in his arms and handed it to Yang Xiuzhi, and thanked him and Gao Zhongming before leaving.
Back at the inn, Xu Longzhi happily told the old housekeeper about the matter, and the old housekeeper was also pleased to say: "Someone finally came out to administer justice today, and the second young master is saved now." Xu Longzhi had a big event in his heart, and he suddenly felt that the sins he had suffered in the past few months had disappeared, and his mood suddenly brightened. At present, there is only one thing that has not been done, that is, to find the whereabouts of his brother Xu Fu, and the master and servant discussed that the soldiers would go to investigate in two ways early the next morning.
There was no news of Xu Fu for two days in a row, Xu Longzhi said to the old housekeeper a little worriedly: "Why haven't I found my brother's whereabouts these days, can't something happen?" The old housekeeper didn't dare to make a stubble, but just whispered: "Otherwise, tomorrow the second young master, you beg that Lord Yang and ask him to help check it." After all, there are more people in the government than the two of us, so it is very convenient to check. Xu Longyi patted his thigh and said, "Yes, what the housekeeper said is reasonable, why didn't I think of it?" ”
The next morning, Xu Longzhi and the housekeeper waited for Yang Xiuzhi in the inn, and sure enough, it was only in the morning, then Yang Xiuzhi came to the inn with the attendants to find him, and the four of them entered the house and sat down, Yang Xiuzhi said happily: "I have arranged all your affairs, and the official document for the retrial has also been issued, you only need to go back to Luoyang to find the master of the yamen of the state capital, and he will naturally retry the case for you." You can rest assured, the fact that Mrs. Gao came forward through my hands shows that your case has been known by the Prime Minister's Office, and no one dares to engage in favoritism and fraud, and it will definitely be tried impartially. ”
Xu Longzhi was overjoyed and got up and bowed to Yang Xiuzhi, and said in his mouth: "The student is here to thank Engong, the great kindness is unforgettable." The old butler also knelt down with tears in his eyes. Yang Xiuzhi laughed and stepped forward to help the two of them up: "Since this matter has been encountered by me, I naturally want to give you an explanation, you don't have to care, just go back and wait for a new trial." Xu Longzhi stood up and said a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid the student won't be able to go back for a while." Yang Xiuzhi asked curiously, "Oh? Do you still have a case to sue? ”
Xu Longzhi said a little embarrassedly: "That's not it, it's just that my brother came here two months ago to complain, but there is no news, and the students have been asking around in and out of the city for the past few days, but they still have nothing to gain." Yang Xiuzhi touched his chin and smiled without speaking. Xu Longzhi stepped forward cheekily and said, "The student still wants to ask for help from adults. Yang Xiuzhi looked at him and said, "Help you find your brother?" I saw him nod embarrassedly.
Yang Xiuzhi is also a lover, thinking that since he has helped others overturn the case, he simply helped others to the end, so he said: "You write down your brother's name, age, appearance and characteristics, and I will ask someone to take it for inspection, but I don't dare to pack a ticket to help you find it." Xu Longzhi was very grateful and said: "The student really doesn't know how to thank the adult, please accept my worship." After that, he said three more knocks to Yang Xiuzhi.
Yang Xiuzhi then asked about his origin, Xu Longzhi seemed to think of something, and asked casually: "I don't know if the adults know if there is a family called Bohai Gao in this capital." Yang Xiuzhi looked at him very vigilantly and asked, "Why are you asking this?" Xu Longzhi looked at him embarrassedly and told Yang Xiuzhi what his father said before he died, and Yang Xiuzhi asked quietly: "Your mother's name?" Are you sure she belongs to the Bohai Gao clan? ”
Xu Longzhi said his mother's name again, and even made it clear which family she was a child of the Gao family. Yang Xiuzhi touched his chin and said: "To be honest, I don't know very much about this matter, I'll ask my colleagues in charge of household registration when I go back and help you check." Then he got up and took his leave. Xu Longzhi was diligently sent to the door of the inn before turning around and going home.
Yang Xiuzhi sat in the carriage and said to the groom: "Don't go home first, go, go to the Qi Palace." The carriage started slowly. Yang Xiuzhi came to the gatehouse of the Qi Palace's mansion and asked, "I went in and reported it, and said that I had something important to do with General Gao." Menzi saw that it was Lord Yang, and hurriedly went in to report that he was the king's celebrity and couldn't afford to offend.
After a while, he saw that Gao Zhongming couldn't come out, the two looked at each other, Yang Xiuzhi pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "How is the old lady today, I have a private matter about the Gao family and want to see the old lady." Gao Zhongming looked at his mysterious appearance and said: "The old lady just got up for a while today, this time it is estimated that she will be in the back of the Buddha Hall, why don't I take you for a walk?" He knew that Yang Xiuzhi would not come to the Qi Palace, and when he came here to say that he wanted to see someone, there must be something, and he was in a hurry. So at that moment, he led Yang Xiuzhi through the door to the living room of a back house, turned back to him and said, "You wait here, I'll invite the old lady." ”
Yang Xiuzhi offered his hand to express his willingness to wait here, Gao Zhongming turned around and walked in, and after a while, he saw the maid helping this Gao Hanshi out, as soon as the two met, Gao Hanshi smiled and said: "I heard Zhongming say that you have something to see me?" Yang Xiuzhi hurriedly got up and came over to greet him, and held Gao Han's hand and said, "Old lady, this matter is indeed a bit strange today, so Xiuzhi hurriedly came over to ask to see you." Gao Han then said to the maid and Gao Zhongming: "You go to the door, I will talk to Lord Yang, and don't tell you not to come." Hearing this, the two honestly retreated to the living room door.
