Chapter 82: The First Official Duty

The house was lit with dim soybean oil lamps, and everyone was asleep.

Lu Wei turned his back to the door, his eyes fell on Zhang Yuqing's spread clothes, and his expression was hidden in the darkness.

After a long time, Lu Wei slowly stretched out his hand, gently closed Zhang Yuqing's loose clothes, blocked the beautiful spring light that was exposed, and silently picked up the quilt and gently covered Zhang Yuqing's body.

It was windy and rainy outside, and the temperature was cool, but after Lu Wei came out of Zhang Yuqing's house, he walked to the well in the courtyard without saying a word, lifted a bucket of cold water, and poured it from the head.

Early the next morning, the rain had stopped, and the guards living in the front yard complained to the clerk that the house was leaking.

Lu Weizheng was worried that he couldn't explain why he, who was supposed to live in the main room with Zhang Yuqing, knew that the west wing room was leaking, so he took the opportunity to say: "I went to a few rooms in the backyard to see when it rained last night, and there was also a leak. ”

Fang Qin glanced at his master, and laughed without smiling.

The clerk was old, gray-haired, and said worriedly: "It's not that the old man treats you slowly, but there is really no money to repair it!" I haven't paid any money for four or five years! There is really no way to be old! ”

"How did the former Toji live?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

The clerk said, "The lord in front of him has rented another house outside, and he has not lived here. ”

Lu Wei frowned, Du Si is a member of the fourth grade, and he is the person with the highest status in Baochuan, and the Du Si Mansion has no money to repair it, what should the army look like?

Some guards didn't believe the old man's words and asked, "Shouldn't you use the money allocated by the boss?" The Dusi Mansion is so tattered and has no money to repair it, who believes it! ”

The clerk was anxious, and swore to Lu Wei that if he took an extra copper plate from the official family, he would not die well, and pointed to the direction of the military camp and shouted: "There is really no money, and the soldiers have not been paid for three months!" Drink porridge at once! The horses are so hungry that they can't run! If you don't believe me, go to the barracks and ask. ”

Lu Wei nodded, "You go down!" ”

Fang Mo was shocked, "Childe, how is this good!" ”

If you don't get paid as a soldier, what do you live on? If the arrears continue, any contradiction will trigger a mutiny among the soldiers, and then Lu Wei, the commander, will either be killed by the angry soldiers or beheaded by the emperor.

Lu Wei immediately made a decision, divided the nearly twenty guards he brought, and He Qi stayed behind to protect Zhang Yuqing, and he took Fang Mo Fang Qin and the remaining guards to the barracks.

The clerk stood at the gate of the Dusi Mansion, saw Lu Wei and them leading the horse to leave, and hurriedly said: "My lord, on your first day today, don't you go to Liangzhou City to meet the lord of the system?" ”

Lu Wei turned over and said briefly: "I'll talk about it tomorrow." With their legs between their bellies, a line of horses galloped up and disappeared into the distance.

Zhang Yuqing and Wang Chunniang packed their luggage in the house, went to the street to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt, and asked the clerk to find someone to send tiles and straw.

The stove room has not been used for many years, and the ashes are all lumpy on the stove, and the ten guards plus He Qi and two women have been busy for a day, from morning to night, all of them are covered with black ash, and finally the roof has been repaired, and all places have been scrubbed and cleaned to live in.

In the afternoon, Wang Chunniang cooked a meal, everyone had eaten, and Lu Wei and they didn't come back.

Wang Chunniang suggested that Zhang Yuqing go to deliver food to Lu Wei.

"The barracks are heavy, how can I go in as an outsider! Besides, there is a room in the barracks, and no one can starve him so hungry that he is the master! Zhang Yuqing immediately refused, she had been busy all day, and now she just wanted to lie down, and she didn't want to send food to Lu Wei.

Wang Chunniang hates that iron is not steel, "Are you stupid? You go to deliver food, is the focus on rice? The point is to let Lord Lu see your heart for him! ”

Zhang Yuqing sneered, what did she have for Lu Wei? She hopes that Lu Wei will ascend to heaven as soon as possible, she will be promoted to widowhood, and she will not be able to see Lu Wei and Zhang Yuying, a pair of dogs, hugging each other, to respond to her in a few years!

Wang Chunniang tapped Zhang Yuqing's head vigorously and scolded: "You are already married to Lord Lu, and you still shut him out of the door every day, which daughter-in-law is like you?" You still have a nose that is not a nose and an eye that is not an eye! It's just that Lord Lu is a good person, put up with your stinky temper! Change the man you try! ”

Zhang Yuqing was stunned and said angrily: "Can you understand what I said?" In fact, he pretended to be Zhang Yuying in his heart, and he was forced to marry me, and now that I am away from him, he can't wait for it! ”

Wang Chunniang, who has been trying to survive for the first 20 years, said that she couldn't understand that men and women together are not just having children and living a good life? As for who is in your heart, does it matter? Thinking about this every day, it is clear that you are bored and full!

"Isn't that all the way it used to be? Now he and you are husband and wife! Wang Chunniang said, "He likes Miss Yuying, you just follow Miss Yuying to learn more, read a few lines of poetry, draw a picture, speak softly and pitifully, and men will eat this!" Don't be a tigress all day! ”

Zhang Yuqing's expression was painful, and she picked up the food box prepared by Wang Chunniang and hurriedly escaped.

Wang Chunniang's voice came from the house, "In the past two years, you have a group of children, and his heart is full of you and the children, and he has long forgotten who Zhang Yuying is!" ”

"Then you marry He Qi first! After two years, you two children will be in a group, and then you will teach me a lesson! Zhang Yuqing dropped a sentence and called the guards to take her to the barracks.

Sitting in the carriage to the barracks, Zhang Yuqing held her chin and snorted coldly, let her learn Zhang Yuying's green tea? Are you kidding!

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

The military camp is not far from the Dusi Mansion, when the carriage arrived, the guards who drove the carriage said a few words to the soldiers guarding the door, and a soldier ran to the camp tent, and not long after, Fang Mo ran over and led the carriage to Lu Wei.

When he was about to arrive at the camp tent of the capital, Zhang Yuqing watched a group of officers in armor come out of the camp tent, all with angry expressions and noisy voices.

Zhang Yuqing hid in the carriage and waited for people to walk away before getting out of the carriage.

Lu Wei sat in front of the desk, flipping through the official documents, his brows twisted to kill a group of flies, and he was telling Fang Qin to eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers, and he would eat whatever the soldiers ate, not special, and no longer prepare another meal for him.

At this moment, Zhang Yuqing carried the food box, opened the curtain of the camp tent, and when she heard this, she stood there, not knowing whether to go in or not.

Fang Mo smiled heartlessly behind Zhang Yuqing's back: "Childe, Madame is here to bring you food!" ”

Lu Wei hurriedly got up and took the food box in Zhang Yuqing's hand, and when he saw Zhang Yuqing's embarrassed expression, he naturally said, "Thank you for your hard work, it just so happens that I'm hungry." ”

Fang Qin's face was numb, and he didn't laugh again.

Zhang Yuqing made up her mind in her heart, just this time, she will never send food to Lu Wei in the future!

When Lu Wei was eating, Zhang Yuqing asked, "There are quite a lot of people at the door, what's going on?" ”

Lu Wei handed Zhang Yuqing a document he was reading just now.

The paper seems to have just been written, and the ink has not yet dried.

Zhang Yuqing read ten lines at a glance, and put down the paperwork silently, the case is very simple, the army wants to expand the racecourse, and the house with a family is just near the racecourse, and the officer in charge of this matter drove them away and demolished their house, but did not give a penny of compensation.

The eldest son of the family went to the officer to theorize, was seriously injured, and died the night he was carried home.

The second son of the family was so angry that he ambushed the officer on his way home, disguised himself as a watermelon seller, and sent the officer to heaven with a few knives, and then was arrested and put in the barracks, where he was beheaded for his crime.

Zhang Yuqing sighed, the place that occupies the people must be compensated, but if everything is compensated in place, how can the officials in the barracks make money?

Not to mention that there has been no salary for three months, those who are officials are not ruthless and scrape the people!

"Was this tried today, or was it tried before and copied again?" Zhang Yuqing shook a few pages in his hand.

Fang Qin said: "The previous file only wrote that this person assassinated the officer, and did not know anything else. ”

"As it should be, there is a cause before there is an effect." Zhang Yuqing nodded and said.

Lu Wei smiled: "What do you think? ”

"Even if you are guilty, you will not die, and it would be better if you could be sentenced lightly. It is inappropriate for a person who has tried a case in the past to resentence a prisoner based on the outcome without asking the reason. Zhang Yuqing said.

Fang Qin said: "But the other officials in the barracks don't think so, and the group of people in Fang Cai still argued with Gongzi, saying that killing people is a fact, and no matter how many reasons there are, they can't kill people!" From the very beginning, they should have sued the officials, not killed with a grudge. If everyone were like him, killing people when they encountered disputes, wouldn't the way of the world be chaotic! If the sentence is not severe, how can we set an example? ”

"Sue the official?" Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "Is it useful to sue the official?" Don't he know that he can't escape the death penalty even if he kills? Fighting to kill someone, isn't it justice and nowhere to appeal? ”

If he is not driven to a dead end, how can a peasant who only holds a hoe all his life carry a knife and kill?

Fang Mo hurriedly said: "Madam is right, those officials who are officials protect each other, even if they go to sue, there will be no result!" ”

Fang Qin smiled, "Now is not the time to argue about fairness and justice!" ”

Zhang Yuqing looked at Fang Qin's smile, and felt extremely uncomfortable, as if Fang Qin was laughing at her innocence and ignorance, and her kind smile hid contempt and contempt.

"It's not early, I'll go back first." Zhang Yuqing lowered her eyes, stood up and said.

This is a matter of officialdom, and Lu Wei may not want to see her open mouth to speak as a fake lady who was forced to get married.

Fang Qin knew that Fang Cai's words made Zhang Yuqing annoyed, and immediately said: "Madame doesn't know, the son has just arrived, if he forcibly intervenes, overturns the original trial result, and disagrees with the group of old oilmen who have been entrenched in Baochuan for many years, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the future of the son." ”

"Let's go back together." Lu Wei got up and said to Zhang Yuqing, looked at Fang Qin and shook his head, and said in a cold voice: "Although your concerns are reasonable, I am testing them by asking them for their opinions, but why are they not testing me?" ”

Fang Qin lowered his head in amazement.

Lu Wei put his hands behind his back, "This case is the first official business I have handled in Baochuan, if I am at their mercy and subject to them, won't I have to listen to them in everything in the future?" ”

Sweetheart Theatre

Lu Wei: My wife can see it or not, my marriage seems to be married, but it doesn't seem to be.

Night Rain: Do you want your wife to be a widow?

Yesterday's chapter was actually banned, and Yeyu felt that he had written a very clear water! In order to apply for the lifting of the ban, I can only change it, and there is no original taste.

Many relatives commented on why the female protagonist couldn't confess her past to the male protagonist. The male protagonist is an official of the imperial court, a relative of the emperor, the female protagonist's adoptive father is a wanted criminal, and the adoptive brother is a robber who falls into the grass. The relationship between the official and the bandit is naturally antagonistic, and the relationship between the female protagonist and the male protagonist has not reached the point where it can be trusted. I have also explained it before, the heroine is very afraid that her life experience will be exposed, and she will be arrested and tied up in front of the battle to threaten her adoptive brother to surrender, so she must keep it a secret. To put it another inappropriate analogy, if in the decade of the last century, the heroine married a soldier, and trust has not yet been established, and her father and brother have run away to the treasure island, does she dare to say it?

It's true that the heroine has an awkward personality, but it is reasonable for Ye Yu to conceal her life experience.
