Chapter 159: Human life is as cheap as grass
The Li family hurriedly welcomed the little brother into the house to sit, and Sister Li Yue sent Mo Feng to find the second aunt and Rong Yan Rongxi. Then ask about the situation of the little brother who sent the letter.
It turned out that on the same day, the second uncle rode back on a donkey, just in time for the dam to burst, and directly called the waves to rush downstream, but fortunately, Li Er relied on his last will to hold the donkey, and the donkey actually swam ashore by instinct, and finally called Feng Lu, who picked up the old grandmother, to save him.
This Feng Lu is the little brother who came to deliver the letter, the Feng family originally lived in Hukou, the family was a horse seller, when Feng Lu was ten years old, his father and mother died of illness one after another, and the grandmother of the family took him back to Cangzhuang, and lived in the mountains north of Cangzhuang.
"Second Uncle Li was injured, soaked in the water for several hours, and suffered from the wind and cold, he has been in a daze all this time, and he finally woke up yesterday, so he asked me to bring you a letter." That Feng Lu said.
"Then how is my second uncle injured now?" Sister Li Yue asked again.
"It's okay, I'm out of danger now, as long as I raise it for a while, I'll be fine." Feng Lu replied with a smile.
Hearing him say this, the Li family breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them for their busy work.
At this moment, the Fang clan took Rong Yan Rongxi and followed Mo Feng back in a hurry.
After learning that Li Er was indeed alive, he was in the Feng family at this moment, and the Li family could pick up people at any time, Fang sat on the ground and cried loudly, venting all the sadness in his heart during this time, which made Feng Lu a little overwhelmed.
After a while, the Fang family held back their tears, and discussed with Li Laohan and Mrs. Li to take Li Er back, and finally decided that Li Laohan would take Rong Yan to Feng's house to pick up Li Er, and Fang and Mrs. Li would take Rong Xi back to the house they had rented before. After cleaning and cleaning, Li Er can live when he comes back.
Sister Li Yue quietly stuffed a purse into Yuejiao's hand, and asked her to follow Grandpa and Rong Yan to the Feng family to have a look, and see that Feng Lu was wearing patched clothes, it was obvious that the Feng family's family background was not good. And the second uncle is injured and sick, the Feng family must have spent a lot, no matter what, this money has to be returned to others, and I have to thank it.
And the second aunt's side, Jin Feng's funeral. Coupled with the expenses of renting a house to buy furniture, there must be no extra silver around, and there is definitely not much silver on Grandpa. Therefore, Sister Li Yue asked Yuejiao to go over and take a look, didn't the Feng family still have an old grandmother at home, and Yuejiao also happened to give the silver to the Feng family's grandmother in the past.
Everything was arranged, and watching everyone leave, the Li family was also overjoyed, but Yue Bao'er said that it would be good if the second brother was also at home.
I heard her words. Sister Li Yue's mood became anxious again. I just hope that the boy will gain something when he enters Beijing.
"Sister Yue'er, come and see, what is this?" That's when it happened. Grandma Tian's surprised cry came from a side room in the back, and Sister Li Yue hurriedly went over and saw Grandma Tian sitting on the edge of the bed. was unwrapping Nan'er's quilt, but at this moment, where the quilt was opened, a few letters were revealed.
Grandma Tian took out the letter and handed it directly to Sister Li Yue without reading it: "It's been hot these days, and this little girl can't use this bag of quilts, so I thought about dismantling and washing it, but I didn't think about it, but a few letters fell out, I think it should be left by Jin Feng, you can take a look." ”
Sister Li Yue nodded and took the letter, there was not even a word on the envelope, and the opening of the letter had been cut, Sister Li Yue directly pulled out the letter inside, but her face changed greatly at a glance. Then he clenched his fist heavily and hammered it on the table, and he didn't feel the pain of the hammer.
She originally thought that these letters were left by Jin Feng to the Li family or to Xiao Nan'er, but she didn't expect that this was not at all, these letters were actually letters from the Zhou family and the people in the prince's mansion, and the content of the letters was actually to let the Zhou family blow up the dam, but the purpose was to drown the water bandits in Thirteen Bay.
It turned out that the second prince found out that the Liuwa water bandit was actually the prince's private soldier, and the prince's dealings with officials in the Central Plains provinces were all through the hands of this water bandit. (.la no pop-up ads)
The emperor knew about this and how could he not be angry, so he naturally wanted to ask the prince for questioning, but how could the prince admit such a major event, and in turn accuse the second prince of slander, so the emperor planned to send troops to encircle and suppress the Liuwa water bandits, arrest people and confront them, and at this moment, the Liuwa heavy rain, the dry river canal rose, and mudslides occurred in all villages, and the emperor's attention turned to the disaster, and the matter of encircling and suppressing the Liuwa water bandits was temporarily put aside.
But the prince felt the catastrophe at this time, once the emperor suppressed the water bandits and confirmed that the disaster was related to him, then he could not keep the position of the prince, so these water bandits could not stay.
It's just that at this moment, it is impossible for the prince to use his own strength, so he can only borrow the Zhou family and the inspection department of Liuwa to contribute, but the Zhou family, even with the inspection department of Liuwa, it is impossible to wipe out this gang of water bandits, after all, these people were once brave men in the army, so there was a poisonous plan to blow up the dam, and the Zhou family first notified the emperor of the gang of water bandits to encircle and suppress them, and then arranged them to hide in the inspection house in Liuwa, and then blew up the dam.
As soon as the Liuwa River dam exploded, the water poured back, and the entire Liuwa was flooded, these people were not prepared, and it was difficult to survive, even if there were one or two survivors, they would think that this was just a dam failure, a natural disaster, where would they think that it was the prince and the Zhou family who wanted their lives, and finally they had to go to the prince and the Zhou family, that was the dish sent to the door.
At that time, the prince will be able to leave things behind.
Sister Li Yue looked at it, her heart was pulling out the cold, poisonous, in front of the tall prince, what did the people count, they were cannon fodder, six big towns by the dry river canal, dozens of villages apart, and now the official road is full of corpses, it is really as cheap as grass.
"What's wrong, Sister Yue?" Grandma Tian asked.
Sister Li Yue's eyes were red, she didn't say anything, she directly sent the letter to Grandma Tian, Grandma Tian read it at a glance, and the whole person trembled angrily: "Lack of virtue, too lack of virtue, these people will be punished." ”
Grandma Tian said bitterly, and then raised her head and asked Sister Li Yue: "Sister Yue, what are you going to do?" ”
Listening to Grandma Tian's question, Sister Li Yue's heart was heavy. The few letters in his hand are heavier than a thousand pounds, although this matter was done by the Zhou family, but the prince is also involved, who dares to take such a big case? If you really want to enter the yamen, you can't make people lose their mouths.
It can destroy the hatred of the family. Jin Feng's death, as well as the corpses on the official road by the dry river, and the cadres who are now in prison in the river workers' yamen, including her own Mo Yi, these are not allowed for her to sit idly by.
Then the only way to do it is now. Only to sue the royal court, Sister Li Yue clenched her fists, and then frowned again. How easy is it to just sue the royal court? The ones sung in the play, the people who blocked the road and shouted grievances were only in the play, the emperor went out on patrol, the loess paved the road, the water purification swept the street, and the idle people had already been driven out of a few streets, and it was impossible to even see a figure from a distance, let alone block the road and hand over the situation. That's just whimsical.
Thinking about it, Sister Li Yue didn't know what to do with these letters?
"Alas...... In short, these letters never reach reliable people, and no one should know about their existence. Grandma Tian sighed. She knew in her heart that these letters would be difficult to handle, and if they leaked out, they would be in trouble.
"Hmm. Grandma, I understand. Sister Li Yue's face was a little pale, but her eyes were clear.
In the afternoon, the second uncle was picked up, the whole person lost a circle, his face was pale and pale, and he looked very haggard, but his life always survived, and he was embarrassed to see the family. After settling in, everyone was relieved.
Although the present days are difficult, as long as people live, they will be fine.
"The eldest sister, the third sister, and the sixth sister give." Yuejiao'er took something out of her pocket and put it on the table. It's a hemp ball with a layer of white sesame seeds on the outside.
"Where did it come from?" Sister Li Yue asked.
"Grandma of the Feng family gave it." Yue Jiao'er said.
Sister Li Yue asked a few more questions about the Feng family.
"She didn't accept the silver I gave to Grandma Feng, but when I left, I secretly stuffed the silver under Grandma Feng's pillow." Yuejiao said.
"Well, that's the right thing to do." Sister Li Yue nodded. There is no way to repay the grace of saving his life, and how can he let others post money.
At night, Sister Li Yue slept on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't sleep, thinking about the letters, those letters pressed on her shoulders like a mountain, she thought about whether it could be sent to the seventh master and the second master through Zheng Dian, maybe it would be useful, but after thinking about it again, this matter was too risky, she just took it by herself, why bother pulling Zheng Dian into the water.
This night, Sister Li Yue didn't close her eyes all night, and she was even more resentful in her heart.
In the next few days, Sister Li Yue was thinking about what to do about this matter?
In the afternoon of this day, the tofu on the tofu stall was sold out, and Sister Li Yue was packing her things, so Zheng Dian rushed to the door: "Sister Yue'er, take the river work notebook left by your father, and follow me to see Qincha and the emperor." ”
"Ah, but what's going on?" Sister Li Yue's hand shook, and a tofu board almost hit the ground, but fortunately, Zheng Dian's eyes were quick and he didn't hit his foot. I knew in my heart that the emperor and the Qin Cha had finally arrived in Tongzhou.
"Don't worry." Zheng Dian looked at Sister Li Yue's frightened appearance, and hurriedly eased her tone, and then said with a sullen face: "It's the people of the Third Division, they think that Lord Yang is careless in employing people, Mo Yi is only seventeen years old so far, and he was only fifteen years old when he was only fifteen years old, so he took on the post of the chief of river engineering, it is too childish and sloppy, and Lord Yang should be held accountable for employing people, and Lord Yang said about your father, and the emperor asked you to bring your father's river work notes over." ”
"Okay, you wait for me." As soon as Sister Li Yue heard this, she didn't say a word, so she quickly turned around and entered Mo Yi's house and found the river work notebook left by Daddy. Out of the house, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, and went into his room again, opened the floral pillow, took out the letters left by Jin Feng from it, and held them tightly in his arms.
"Let's go." Out of the house, Sister Li Yue said to Zheng Dian.
