"What?" Su Jinyao looked at the weak girl in front of her in astonishment, as if she realized something, and waved her hand to signal the dead man on the side to put her brother down.

The boy was let go and ran to the girl's shēn, holding the girl's shirt tightly with one hand, and pinching his sleeve with the other to wipe his sister's tears.

Gu Xuebin also walked over, gently pressed Su Jinyao's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, it seems that there is some misunderstanding, ask slowly." ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and then began to sort out the clues in her mind, and then asked, "You mean, your father and son were caught by the people of Huwei Village?" ”

"Yes. My father was a silversmith who was captured to make jewelry for the housewives here. I have been working for almost ten days, and I am really worried about being at home with my younger brother, and ...... There was nothing to eat at home, so they came to the mountains to find him. Who knew that before I had time to go down the mountain today, someone would attack the cottage. My dad ...... too Also killed. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she hugged her brother with both hands and began to cry loudly.

Su Jinyao's table (qíng) is a little stunned, but also a little helpless and the same (qíng). It's really their mistake, it's a mistake, but what can be done now?

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao said, "Then where is your home?" I will ask someone to send you back, and I will give you some accommodation, so that your son will not be unable to live. Also, if we can find your father's body, we'll bury you properly. ”

"No, I'm not going back, I'm going to avenge my father. You're the bandits of these cottages, and you're the bad guys. The girl cried and tried to push Su Jinyao with her hand.

Su Jinyao didn't move, as if she was going to push it up, at least so that this bereaved girl could vent her pain.

But Gu Xuebin walked over and blocked in front of Su Jinyao, looking at the sister and brother in front of him with a straight face.

Maybe it's because Gu Xuebin's momentum is very different, or because Gu Xuebin is too handsome.

Therefore, as soon as he blocked in front of Su Jinyao, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then withdrew her hand without pushing it on Gu Xuebin's (shēn). But the girl lowered her head and continued to cry.

Gu Xuebin turned his head to look at Su Jinyao, shook her hand gently, and gave her a reassuring look.

Then he turned to the girl and said, "I know the bitterness in your heart, and you think that it was the bad guy who killed your father. But haven't you ever thought that we are avenging more of the victims? We admit that we made a mistake and killed your father by mistake, and we are willing to take responsibility. If you think about it again, even if it is a war between officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, or a war at the border gates, are there no innocent people who have suffered? ”

The girl was stunned by the question, and slowly raised her head, but with tears in her eyes, she showed a little doubt.

Gu Xuebin said again: "I am an official, and this time Huwei Village suppressed bandits, and I acted on orders. This girl has no responsibility, she is even a hero who fights for the people. If you can trust me, I am willing to come forward and let the official family give your father an explanation, is this okay? ”

If it is a grudge and vendetta in the rivers and lakes, it is really impossible to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.

But if this is the government's suppression of bandits, not to mention the people who were injured by mistake, it can be regarded as putting the bandit's big hat on this dead silversmith (shēn), which is also something that these little people have nothing to do (qíng).

This girl is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the children of the poor are in charge of the house, so they can naturally understand that what Gu Xuebin said makes sense.

Seeing that the girl's eyes were a little loose, Gu Xuebin slowly helped Su Jinyao up, and said to the girl: "This girl is only a few years older than you, but she has done a lot for the people (qíng), she is actually very great." After the incident of your father's manslaughter (qíng), she also felt very uncomfortable. I'm sure if you give her a chance, she'll make it up to you. So that you and your brother have been settled, and your father will not die in vain, what's the difference? ”

The girl looked at her younger brother (shēn), and her hesitation became more and more obvious. Finally, she nodded slowly, but the tears kept flowing.

Su Jinyao understood that she was crying because of her weakness. knew that her father was innocently killed, but in order to survive with her younger brother, she finally chose to compromise.

Su Jinyao looked at Gu Xuebin, there was a feeling in her eyes, and she was also a little embarrassed.

Gu Xuebin said softly to Su Jinyao: "I understand your intentions, but this is really a helpless thing (qíng). There is justice and evil, but to eradicate evil, justice alone is not enough, and some sacrifices are needed. Her father was unfortunate, but the sisters were lucky, and we settled them so that their father would know and feel at ease. ”

This last sentence is not only to comfort Su Jinyao, but also to the person who gave it to his sister and brother.

The dead are gone, and the living can only live well.

Suo (xìng) This is not a bully, there is also a discussion, Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao have really tried their best to comfort the two sisters and brothers.

Give (diàn) the aftermath

Because of the commitment to the two sisters and brothers, the original Jianghu incident was elevated to the government to come forward to suppress the bandits. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

Gu Xuebin took out his prince's seal, covered it with a white silk handkerchief of Su Jinyao, and asked a dead man to go to Lord Yin to deliver the letter. said that he would immediately bring someone to Huwei Village to pick up the driver.

In fact, the nearest yamen is a county yamen. However, Gu Xuebin was not sure whether such a small seven-rank sesame official as the county order knew the seal letter of the prince (diàn), so he had to go to the farther away government to give orders.

If even the prefect can't recognize the prince's seal, then Gu Xuebin has nothing to say, and he can just pick up these people's black gauze hats.

The dead man with his handkerchief and a message had left in the evening, and before the evening arrived, a large group of men and horses arrived.

A large number of people carried torches, and the surroundings were illuminated. The head of the Fu Yin (shēn) was also followed by two thousand generals with soldiers, and rode a high-headed horse to the outside of Huwei Village.

Gu Xuebin did not rush out, but asked someone to call Fu Yin in.

Nafu Yin was still full of doubts, because he couldn't believe that the crown prince (diàn) would come to such a place in person. His original intention was to arrest the pretender prince.

There was no way, Gu Xuebin had to take out another token of the palace gate and ask someone to light it up.

This token originally had no practical significance, just a sign when entering and leaving the palace gate. It can neither be used as a troop transfer, nor can it be used as a token of the crown prince.

But this sign is a solid proof that those who own the sign are entitled to enter and leave the palace at will. For the time being, such a role, Lord Yin of Nafu did not dare to slack off.

You know, if it wasn't the prince who came in person, it should also be the guard on the side of the prince (diàn) under (shēn).

Therefore, this Fu Yin did not dare to delay any longer, immediately dismounted, and followed the dead man to see Gu Xuebin.

Gu Xuebin has been back in Beijing for many years, and he has also appeared on big occasions such as the National Day Ceremony or the Emperor's birthday.

It's an ordinary petty official who hasn't seen the prince. And as a fourth-grade and fifth-grade Fu Yin, he still has the opportunity to enter Beijing, and he has also seen the prince and the emperor from afar.

Therefore, when he saw that he was really the prince (diàn), this mansion Yin trembled a few times, and he was a little at a loss.

You know, the territory under his jurisdiction is so rampant that it is necessary for the prince (diàn) to personally come forward to exterminate it, how much of a sin should it be?

Fortunately, the prince was injured here, even if he made the next one unhappy, the black yarn on his head would be difficult to protect.

Thinking of this, Fu Yin knelt on the ground with a "plop", his face was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and kept shouting loudly: "Please forgive the prince (diàn)." ”

Gu Xuebin Ping (rì) and Su Jinyao laughed and played, and that was because the two of them had a deep sense (qíng).

But in the face of the ministers of the court, or such provincial officials, their faces were gloomy, and they had the air of a king, and they were not angry but powerful.

Su Jinyao was no longer smiling, sitting under Gu Xuebin, slightly drooping her eyelids, looking quite majestic.

This Fu Yin knelt for a while, and didn't see Gu Xuebin make any moves, so he was a little bolder. He turned his head to look at the room again, and saw no other entourage or generals except Su Jinyao, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still didn't dare to stand up, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty's official duties are busy, and you only need to say hello to the trivial matters here, and your subordinates will naturally do their best to do a good job for Your Majesty." Suppressing bandits is also a matter within the responsibility of the lower officials, but because of the recent official entanglement (shēn), I didn't have time to be distracted to clean up, which really bothered (diàn). ”

Gu Xuebin didn't need to listen to it to know that it was such an official story, but he didn't intend to investigate the fault of this Fu Yin. You must know that with this arbitrary bridge, even if the officers and soldiers come, they may not be able to storm it for a while.

Moreover, the rivers and lakes and officialdom seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact the principle of non-interference has always been maintained. As long as the people of the rivers and lakes do not cause a big mess and do not oppose the imperial court, the government will not bother to exterminate it.

Therefore, Gu Xuebin waved his hand and said, "Get up and speak first." Ben (diàn) only inadvertently passed by this place and saw that bandits were rampant and oppressed the people, so he made a move. But there is no time left for the aftermath under this (diàn), and since this is your jurisdiction, it will be regarded as a gift to you. ”

As soon as Fu Yin heard that the credit for this suppression of bandits was all on his head, the son (shēn), who was just about to stand up, immediately knelt down again and thanked the prince (diàn) repeatedly.

Gu Xuebin said: "Most of the bandits here have been eliminated. Some people who are still narrow have not made mistakes, and have already surrendered to the present (diàn), leaving them here to settle (shēn). In addition, there are several innocent people who were persecuted by the bandits, and His Majesty (diàn) has also rescued them, so you can appease them in the name of the government. But in short, you don't have to be too loud so as not to cause panic among the other people. ”

Fu Yin nodded again and again, saying that he knew and understood.

In fact, if this matter (qíng) really becomes public, it will not do him any good.

Although the suppression of bandits is considered a credit, the bandits here are not a matter of a year and a half (qíng), and the bandits are rampant, and he is also responsible for it.

Now that he has been exterminated by the prince (diàn), he doesn't spend a single soldier, just to clean up the aftermath (diàn), of course, he can't take a big credit.

Gu Xuebin is well versed in the sleek way of officialdom, and seeing that this Fu Yin seems to be a shrewd person, he doesn't say much.

After calling this Fu Yin Qi (shēn) again, Gu Xuebin asked someone to bring the pair of siblings to Fu Yin.

Nafu Yin looked at the two children, his face was confused, and he didn't know what this prince (diàn) meant.

Looking left and right, I think that the little girl looks like Zhou Zheng, could it be that the prince (diàn) is thinking about it......

This Fu Yin was thinking nonsense, and Su Jinyao spoke: "Lord Fu Yin, this pair of sisters and brothers (shēn) are pitiful. Their father was a silversmith, and he was caught by the big boss of the Huwei Village to do handiwork. As a result, the silversmith was not spared during the crackdown and was killed by mistake. Let's take a look at settling the two siblings well. ”

Fu Yin nodded again and again, but felt that something was wrong, and looked up at Su Jinyao, looking confused again.

He saw that Su Jinyao had an extraordinary bearing, and he knew that she was not an ordinary woman, maybe she was the little master of the palace?

Gu Xuebin coughed lightly, stood up (shēn) and paced slowly, and when he paced to the side of Nafu Yin (shēn), he whispered: "This is the crown princess under Ben (diàn)." ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials have no eyes, they don't know the crown princess, and they hope to forgive their sins." This Fu Yin said that he didn't know him, but in fact, he was even more puzzled. How did he not know about the eldest wedding (qíng) of the crown prince (diàn)?

I'm going to follow you

Gu Xuebin saw that Lord Yin's face was full of confusion, and he secretly laughed in his heart. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

But he still said seriously: "It's not your fault for this, Ben (diàn) will go back this time, and this happy event will be announced to the world." Now no one except the royal family knows about it. ”

hasn't announced the world's affairs (qíng) yet, and the prince (diàn) will take it down? I don't know who sealed this crown princess.

But Lord Yin didn't dare to say this, so he had to nod his head again and echo it, and repeatedly promised that he would arrange the pair of sisters and brothers properly.

Su Jinyao saw that Gu Xuebin was teasing this Fu Yin, and she didn't have the heart to listen to them say some more officialdom (tào) words, so she beckoned to the pair of sisters and brothers and motioned for them to follow her.

That younger brother is really an idiot, but he is not very stupid, he knows people, he is not manic, he is usually (tǐng) well-behaved, and he can't see any difference from ordinary children.

If there is something wrong with him, it is that he has a little tendon, and he doesn't listen to anyone except his sister.

This sister looked weak, thin (shēn) and pale, which at first glance was the result of chronic malnutrition. However, the little girl is delicate (tǐng) and has a bit of a stubborn temper, so she looks very distinctive.

Su Jinyao called them out, and the younger brother kept holding his sister's clothes and followed honestly.

When they came outside, they found a room where there was no one for the time being, and Su Jinyao called them in.

My sister's eyes are still red, and I can see that I have just cried. However, her hatred for Su Jinyao was not so deep, because she also understood that if the big boss of Huwei Village had not forcibly arrested her father, or let him go back earlier, there would have been no such thing (qíng).

What's more, she also heard the conversation between Fu Yin and Gu Xuebin just now, although she couldn't believe that this beautiful and imposing sister in front of her was really the crown princess, but she also understood that this pair of biren (shēn) must be extraordinary.

It stands to reason that even a squire and a village protector may bully others.

But these two people were obviously in a high position, and even Fu Yin could mobilize them, but they were still polite to their sisters and brothers, and this little girl naturally felt a little relieved and grateful in her heart.

Now that Su Jinyao called her in, the little girl did not hesitate and naturally walked in front of Su Jinyao.

But when she knew Su Jinyao's possible (shēn) share, she was a little restrained. Therefore, after standing still, he hugged his younger brother in his arms and stared at Su Jinyao with a pair of black and white eyes that were not very big.

Su Jinyao smiled slightly, and said as calmly as possible: "You also heard it just now, we have asked the Fu Yin here to make arrangements for your sister and brother." However, these officialdom people can take care of you for a while, but they may not be able to take care of you for a lifetime, so in the future, you still have to rely on your sisters and brothers to live a good life. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao took out her seal from her arms and searched for it on the table, trying to find paper and pen. Although this is a cottage, there are also some vassals and elegance among the people in the rivers and lakes, so the pen and paper are complete.

Su Jinyao wrote "One hundred taels of silver" on the paper, then signed her name and stamped her special name seal.

Then he handed the paper to the sister and said, "You know Tongli Yinzhuang, right?" No matter where Tongli Yinzhuang is, you can get silver with this piece of paper. Or you redeem it

Some parts come out, and the other part is saved. ”

"One hundred taels!" The little girl looked a little surprised, looked at the paper in Su Jinyao's hand, and didn't pick it up. Then she shook her head and said, "I don't want it." I want to follow you. ”

This sentence was said very suddenly, and Su Jinyao didn't understand it for a while. After a while, he said, "Why do you want to follow me?" ”

The little girl looked at the silver ticket and said, "The gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty." My brother and I have no relatives anymore, how can we live without support? Girl, you also said that the people in the government can't take care of us for the rest of their lives, I'm afraid that if you leave on the front foot, they will leave us on the back foot. Even if we have these 100 taels of silver tickets, we will only bring them on (shēn) to attract bad people. I'm too weak and sick to protect my brother, but I can't raise my brother, so I'm sorry for my dead father. I know that you are not an ordinary person, so I want to follow you, even if my brother grows up and he can take care of himself, let's go. ”

After speaking, the little girl let go of her younger brother in her arms and knelt on the ground with a "plop".

Her younger brother saw his sister kneeling, and he quickly knelt down, but his innocent eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't understand why he knelt down for this beautiful sister.

Su Jinyao wanted to reach out and help them up, but the little girl took the opportunity to grab her sleeve and said, "Girl, don't worry, I don't hate you for killing my father by mistake (qíng)."
