Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Outlaw Mandarin Duck
Di Xue and Chu Ran hurried to the Di Mansion guest room, only to see that although the old couple and the little girl had passed out, their foreheads were still oozing sweat due to abdominal pain.
Chu Ran put his hand on the little girl's wrist after approaching, and after a while he got up and said:
"They have eaten something bad, and now they can only induce vomiting first."
Di Xue nodded, Chu Ran subconsciously wanted to take the silver needle on her head, but she was a little embarrassed.
And Di Xue saw Chu Ran reach over and understood what he meant, and took the silver needle out of the bun and handed it to him.
Chu Ran took it and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a few wooden barrels to hold the vomit.
Then he helped the little girl's head and made her lie on her stomach, and in order to prevent the little girl from choking, Chu Ran applied a needle to wake her up.
Then he quickly pricked a few stitches in the little girl's neck, and the little girl's stomach suddenly churned, and she vomited out the filth.
The situation has obviously improved, and after Chu Ran applied the needle on the old couple's body in the same way, the sweat on their heads gradually stopped out.
Chu Ran ordered someone to grab the medicine and boil the medicine, and only after drinking some water for the three of them was relieved.
"These days, I have to take care of them, their bodies are very fragile because they have eaten too much rotten food, so they can only eat a small amount of porridge every day, drink some porridge, and take medicine on time."
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue nodded: "Don't worry, I'll leave it to me at this time." ”
After tidying up the house, Di Xue ordered someone to bring a futon and a change of clothes, and after the three of them cleaned up, they came to the front hall to thank them.
"Thank you two adults, we have nothing to repay, we can only repay you as cattle and horses in the next life!" As she spoke, the old couple was about to pull the little girl to her knees.
Di Xue and Chu Ran hurriedly helped the three of them up, and then Di Xue said:
"You're welcome, these are also what we should do, as an official of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, how can we do it if we don't do things for the people!"
"Our old couple has met a good person!"
The old lady's tears flowed down her cheeks, and she hurriedly reached out to wipe them.
Di Xue saw that the old woman's hands were full of cracks, and her heart felt uncomfortable, but then she heard the little girl cry out to Master Di.
Di Xue looked at the little girl and asked curiously, "How do you know my surname is Di?" ”
"Everyone on Yuanjing Street said that there was a female official in Dali Temple, and she enforced the law impartially and judged the case like a god, and I saw my sister wearing an official uniform that day and knew that it was Lord Di!"
After the girl finished speaking, she smiled a little shyly, Di Xue saw the innocent romance of the little girl from her face, and couldn't help but think of Wang Xiaoya in Zhou Huai's case.
She was picked up by her childless aunt, and I hope she can start over and live well.
"It turns out that you are Master Di, my lord, we are wronged!"
When the old man heard the little girl's words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he knelt on the ground and opened his mouth to cry out for injustice.
After Di Xue helped him up, he told the story of the lawsuit that he couldn't read.
It turned out that the surname of the father-in-law's family was Yang, and he originally lived as a farmer in Chuzhou, south of Yuanjing.
However, the father-in-law's son Xiao Yang grew up, and the local matchmaker recommended him for marriage.
The woman, Zhao Huihui, is the daughter of the head of a local juggling troupe, and Xiao Yang has a good life after marrying her.
But Zhao Huihui's father had a serious illness and couldn't support the juggling troupe, and the people in the troupe also left.
She was bent on reviving the juggling troupe, so Xiao Yang learned to juggle in order to make her daughter-in-law happy, although this is all child's skill, but fortunately, Xiao Yang's brain is still flexible and can gradually perform tricks.
So the young couple performed together, and the money was not less, but it didn't take long for Zhao Huihui to become pregnant, and she could support it by relying on Xiao Yang's performance.
After Zhao Huihui gave birth to Yang Gardenia, she became more and more insecure and dissatisfied with her current life, so when Yang Gardenia was one year old, that is, five years ago, she pulled Xiao Yang to Yuanjing.
In the first few months, they were able to send a lot of money home, and the old couple took good care of Yang Gardenia.
But gradually, the money was getting less and less, and Xiao Yang also sent back a letter saying that Zhao Huihui had changed and he didn't want to stay in Yuanjing anymore.
A few days later, Xiao Yang sent back a letter again, saying that the couple had been taken by a young lady from a large family, stayed in their garden to perform, and gave them a lot of money, and when the money was almost earned, he would take them over.
As a result, after this letter, Xiao Yang and his wife were never heard from again.
The old couple was in a hurry, so they packed up their salutes and took Yang Yu'er to Yuanjing, and after asking around, they learned that Xiao Yang and the two went to the Li Mansion to perform.
Li Xiuzhu, the daughter of the Li Mansion, liked the two very much and left them in her courtyard, but a month ago, Li Xiuzhu said that the two stole their precious jade pendants and made the two pay for them.
But the two insisted that they didn't steal, so Li Xiuzhu saw that the two didn't admit it, so he beat the two people and sent them to the government.
The people in the government knew that the two offended the daughter of the prime minister's house, so they naturally didn't give the two a way to live, and severely punished the two.
The two were so unpunished that they died in prison.
The old couple of the Yang family were very distressed when they learned about this, and went to the mass grave to find the body by relying on the clothes of Xiao Yang and his wife.
After transporting the corrupt bodies of the two back to their hometown for burial, the old couple begged the local Xiucai to write a lawsuit, and took it to Yuanjing.
But they were weak, and the people in the government didn't listen to what they said at all, so the two of them were beaten a lot.
Yang Yi'er also grew up in such an environment, and gradually the old couple gave up the heart of reporting to the official.
There was even some fear of the government, and the old woman was also in a trance because of the depression in her heart.
This is also the reason why they didn't dare to express their grievances when they saw Di Xue wearing an official uniform.
Di Xue sighed deeply in her heart after hearing this.
"Li Xiuzhu is Li Yong's eldest daughter and Li Heng's sister."
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue reacted: "Is it the emperor's Li Guifei?" ”
"However, she was sick all the year round in her early years and had a strange temperament, so the Li family opened a separate mansion for her, and she always wore a veil to show people, even Li Heng said that she saw her sister's true face after Li Xiuzhu married the emperor!"
Chu Ran nodded, but his words made Di Xue ponder, what kind of illness made her show her veil in her early years?
"Could it be that she looks a little bit?"
Listening to Di Xue's question, Chu Ran naturally knew what she was thinking, so he shook his head:
"Concubine Li Guifei is very plump, and even the emperor said that she was buried by the illness in the early years!"
"Then what does Li Heng think of his sister?"
"Li Heng only said that his sister was very gloomy before becoming a concubine, especially not waiting to see Li Heng, once at a family banquet, she almost accidentally scratched Li Heng's face with silver chopsticks, but after becoming a concubine, her temperament eased a lot."
Di Xue nodded, it seems that Li Xiuzhu was changed in the period before becoming a concubine, and Xiao Yang and his wife were also killed in prison during this time, is there any connection between this?
Maybe tomorrow the palace banquet for the envoy of Warat to enter Beijing should also join in the fun, and this Li Guifei will be there for a while!
