Chapter 34: Repaying the Favor

After the retrial of He Qi's case, Fang Mo squatted in prison for a few days, couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well, and was finally released without charge.

After coming out, Fang Mo squatted at the door of the Lu Mansion, waited for Lu Wei, who was about to go out, and asked Lu Wei anxiously if he wanted him to continue to be a servant.

Overall, he's an assertion.

If he is not careful, it will be a small matter for him to be beheaded by the government, and it will be a big matter for Lu Wei to lose face.

Lu Wei looked at Fang Mo, and there was no expression on his cold face.

Fang Mo was panicked and scared, and almost cried again.

In the end, Lu Wei said coldly: "There is no next time." ”

Fang Mo's heart fell to the ground, and he was moved to tears, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and vowed: "In the future, I will definitely serve my son wholeheartedly!" Everything is subject to Childe's orders! ”

"You're lucky kid!" Fang Qin patted him on the back and teased, "What the hell is going on?" Tell us about it! ”

Fang Mo said hatefully: "My senior brother's knife was stolen by a loan shark!" Tian Baoguang, the nephew of the master of Jingzhao Mansion, put usury, and the deceased Zhang San was a bad gambler, who couldn't afford to repay the loan shark, and was killed by Tian Baoguang. When Tian Baoguang went to Zhang San's house to ask for debts, he wanted to do something bad to Zhang San's wife, my senior brother saw that it was really not good, and took action to protect the woman, Tian Baoguang fell to the ground and lost a tooth, so he held a grudge, after he killed Zhang San by mistake, he thought of blaming my senior brother, and bought off the two neighbors to make them perjury, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion also accepted bribes! ”

"It's hateful!" Fang Qin shook his head and sighed, not knowing who he was talking about.

Lu Wei asked: "From shouting grievances in the court, inciting the people of the capital to watch the trial, to the court to verify the bloodstains, who planned these things?" ”

Fang Mo hesitated, looking embarrassed.

"What's the matter with you? Childe asks you! Don't say it yet! Fang Qin urged.

Fang Mo said hesitantly: "That's it, it's the one who!" ”

"What, who? Make it clear! Cover up! Fang Qin was inexplicable, "Who the hell is it?" It's not possible to hide it from your son! ”

Fang Mo sighed, stomped his feet and said, "That's who it is!" It's not that I want to hide it from Childe, it's that Childe said before that she is not allowed to mention her name in front of him in the future! I, I, I have to listen to Childe's orders, and I can't mention her name! ”

Lu Wei looked at Fang Mo, who was loyal to the Lord, and was silent.

He had ordered that, but it wasn't what Fang Mo meant!

Fang Qin pointed in the direction of the Zhang family and asked tentatively, "The one we brought into the capital?" ”

"That's her!" Fang Mo nodded happily.

Not to mention anything else, Miss Zhang is really smart and enthusiastic!

"How did you find her? Aren't you reluctant to see Zhang...... Whose is that? Fang Qin glanced at Lu Wei's face and asked.

Fang Mo immediately retorted: "I used to be against Zhang...... That who doesn't understand! Now I know who is good-hearted and smart! ”

"Wow!" Fang Qin looked at Fang Mo with disgust and a flattering expression, "How did you find her?" ”

Zhang Yuqing has no power or money, and even his identity has not been officially recognized by the Zhang family, so Fang Mo should not ask Zhang Yuqing for help from anyone.

Fang Mo was silent, glanced at Lu Wei, and thought that Lu Wei was going to marry Zhang Yuying in the future, and Zhang Yuying would be his future housewife.

In front of Lu Wei, he said that Zhang Yuying would offend the future housewife if she was not good, and after Zhang Yuying married in, it would not be good if Lu Wei had a rift between the husband and wife because Zhang Yuying did not save her.

Lu Wei treated him well, Fang Mo thought in his heart, Zhang Yuying is a famous lady in the capital, and his young master is a match made in heaven, it is already a great blessing for him to be on an errand in front of Lu Wei, how can he say that irresponsible remarks have made Lu Wei and his wife who has not passed through the door have a dislike?

"Yes, we met on the road." Fang Mo said vaguely, "She saw that I was in a hurry, and after asking clearly, she said that she had a way to help me." You all know what happened next. ”

Lu Wei asked, "How is your senior brother?" ”

Fang Mo's voice deepened, "My senior brother is strong and strong, but he lost some money by being in prison, but my senior brother's mother passed away that night, and he was busy with the aftermath for the past two days. ”

He Qi was taken away by the government and charged with the crime indiscriminately, the old lady was blind and seriously ill, and no one took care of her, waiting for her son to be beheaded, suffering a lot, and until He Qi went home, it was already the end of the oil lamp.

Although He Qi's grievances have been washed away, his mother's life will never come back. The people of the capital may rejoice that justice has triumphed, but a few people know what a terrible price He Qi paid for this prison disaster that should not have existed in the first place.

Lu Wei instructed: "When you go to mourn, take ten taels of silver." ”

It's a little bit of his mind.

Fang Mo clenched his fists gratefully, "Thank you, Childe!" ”

Zhang Yuqing really retreated at home for a few days, and finally held back a script of a talented and beautiful woman, holding a thick pile of manuscripts, ready to go to the bookstore owner to talk about selling manuscripts.

She and Wang Chunniang went out, and when they walked to the bookstore, they were stopped in the alley by a burly man wearing a white linen filial piety suit and a white hemp rope on his head.

Before the two of them could speak, the strong man asked in a rough voice, "Is the girl's name Zhang Yuqing?" ”

"I am." Zhang Yuqing held Wang Chunniang's hand and looked at the strong man vigilantly.

The strong man knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed ten times in a row under the shocked eyes of Zhang Yuqing and Wang Chunniang, and the bluestone slabs on the ground in the alley clanged.

"Stop, stop!" Zhang Yuqing hurriedly shouted, "This strong man, you have something to say!" ”

The strong man raised his head, blood was already oozing from his forehead, his eyes were blazing, his voice was like a bell, and he said loudly: "In Xia He Qi, thank Miss Zhang for saving her life!" ”

"You are He Qi?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

She had seen He Qi twice before, once at the execution ground and once in the court, He Qi was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his real appearance.

Now He Qi has cleaned up, his hair is neatly tied at the back of his head, but he is a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features are just and resolute.

"Yes!" He Qi still knelt on the ground, and said to Wang Chunniang: "Miss Wang, my mother was able to hold out until I went home thanks to your care during her lifetime, my mother said, Miss Zhang saved my life, Miss Wang served her so that she could walk decently and cleanly, you two are the great benefactors of our He family!" ”

After all, it was a few more sturdy heads.

"Don't, don't knock!" Wang Chunniang said helplessly, stretched out her hand to stop He Qi, and thought that men and women could not kiss, so she had to stop stiffly in mid-air.

Zhang Yuqing let out a long sigh in her heart, "Your mother is gone?" ”

He Qi's eyes were red, and he said: "On the night I went home, my mother left, she left very peacefully, saying that I came back, she has no regrets......"

"Condolences and change." Zhang Yuqing said softly.

He Qi wiped his face and said, "Girl, I have already buried my mother." You are my He Qi's savior, without you, I would have become an unjust ghost under the knife! There is no way to repay the great kindness, from now on, my He Qi's life is a girl's! ”

Zhang Yuqing looked at him and shook his head.

"There are many people who have saved you, in addition to me, there are also Fang Mo, your brothers and sisters, the clerk of the Yamen, Kou Leguo, and thousands of people in the capital who are standing behind you and seeking revenge for you." Zhang Yuqing said, "Without them, I alone can't save you." ”

He Qi smiled and said: "The girl doesn't have to be humble, Fang Mo They saved me out of brotherhood, the clerk saved me, because he had a good conscience, and the people saved me because they were afraid that one day they would be like me, but the girl saved me with all her good thoughts!" Besides, without the girl's ingenious plan, no matter how much they run, they will not be able to save me! Although I, He Qi, am a rough person, I am a person who knows how to repay kindness! ”

Zhang Yuqing still shook her head, "Fang Mo once protected us on the way to Beijing, and helping you was to repay his favor." ”

He Qi said in a deep voice: "The person who helped you is Lu Gongzi, and Fang Mo is just acting according to his master's orders. ”

Zhang Yuqing smiled and sighed, "He Qi, it's really unnecessary. Since you all know about Lu Gongzi sending me to Beijing, you should have heard Fang Mo talk about my situation. ”

He Qi nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

"I'm just an adopted daughter that the Zhang family doesn't recognize, I have no money and no power, and my own life is a problem. I don't have anything, you follow me, nothing good. Zhang Yuqing said calmly.

He Qi was a rough man, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so in a hurry, he shouted: "Girl, do you think I'm useless?" ”

Zhang Yuqing was just about to speak, when he saw He Qi get up and walk to the door of a family.

At the door of the house was a stone lion more than one person high, entrenched in the door with teeth and claws.

He Qi hugged his hands and hugged him easily, walked back and forth a few steps, his face was not red or panting, and he put it back as it was, and the ground was shaking.

Zhang Yuqing was dumbfounded.

The stone lion is solid, the material is solid, and one foot has a thousand catties.

I heard Fang Mo say that his senior brother was born with divine powers, Zhang Yuqing only thought he was bragging, but he didn't expect to really see it!

"I haven't read a book, and my brain is not smart, so I have a little more strength and can do a little rough work." He Qi arched his hand and said, "As long as the girl has a place to get me, she will go to the soup and go to the fire, and she will not give up!" ”

Zhang Yuqing immediately thought of her plan to go to Qingzhou, if she could ask He Qi to escort her to Qingzhou, she would definitely be able to find Sheng Guixin!

"I ......" Zhang Yuqing swallowed the words she blurted out, and said with a smile, "I don't need Brother He's help for the time being, if there is, I will definitely not be polite to you." ”

Her plan is a secret, and she can't let anyone know about it until it's actually implemented.

Zhang Yuqing handed the purse hanging on her waist to Wang Chunniang, "Second sister, we can be regarded as having a relationship with the aunt of the He family, you go to buy some incense, candles, paper money, go to the grave of the aunt of the He family to put incense on it, and show your heart!" ”
