Chapter 7: The Best News
On a cold winter night, several people gathered around an oil lamp to discuss a top priority, and at this time, everyone's expressions were very serious, and they all completely ignored the cold north wind outside. This was the second night of the rescue in the double execution ground, and some of the heroes had already parted ways and left the rivers and lakes; that night, only Wu Shuang, the flower messenger Nanping, and She Gang, Xu Zixuan, Xiang'er, and A Lai were surrounded by the oil lamp. Everyone listened to Xiao Hua, the old housekeeper of the Taishi Mansion, and explained how the Taishi prudently judged the case, how he fought with the Nine Princes Cao Kun, and the situation when the Taishi went to the prison to visit the father and son of Wang Zhi, the governor of Henan, and then the Taishi asked him to come to them. Everyone was very excited when they heard it, especially Xu Zixuan took the lead in clapping her hands and shouting:
"It's so good, my father has finally figured it out!" she turned her face excitedly again, looked at Wu Shuang and said, "Brother Wu, the injustice you have suffered can finally be revealed!"
Wu Shuang smiled and looked at Xu Zixuan; at that moment, his heart was full of mixed feelings! Even so many good brothers were born and died for him, and he also turned the splendid time of this good girl in front of him into such an ordinary and bleak day now, and it was all because of me! Thinking about such a heart, he couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion in his heart, he stood up leisurely, looked at the dim wall opposite, and muttered:
"Justice in the world is always long overdue, it's like a rainbow, it always comes after a storm! On the contrary, my heart is even heavier! Because the dead cavalry commander Mo Sijiang brothers can no longer return to our side because of this belated justice; the two eldest brothers, Jin Shuiliang and Hao Zhenqiang, as well as the eldest brother Nong Miaosheng, have already wandered the rivers and lakes, and when it is proved that our justice is long overdue, their losses are gone forever! This kind of justice is really heavy!"
Everyone was silent when they heard him say this, especially Xiang'er remembered the bits and pieces of affection and love with Mo Sijiang, the commander of the cavalry, and her tears were like torrents surging in the mountain stream, although they were surging and fierce, but they couldn't hear the slightest sound! At that moment, Alai was already in tears, he regretted his greed and selfishness in the past, he beat his chest and shouted, he deserved to die!
Seeing this, Wu Shuang patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly said in an uplifting tone:
"Brothers, of course we should be happy! This is life, this is also the rivers and lakes, and every victory and success in it is not easy to come by, and it is the fruit of endless hardships and hardships! This joy is the knowledge of our cavalry commander Mo Sijiang brothers, and they must be smiling at Jiuquan; when the three eldest brothers who have gone away from the rivers and lakes hear this, they will surely be overjoyed and full of joy!"
"Yes, brothers, the owner is right!" She Gang said with a smile, "We should all be happy!"
"That's right, everyone should be happy!" said the old housekeeper Xiao Hua excitedly.
In the early morning of the next day, there was a carriage facing the rising sun, passing through Yangshan Hutong in the crisp morning breeze, along the ring road, entering the east gate of Luoyang City, and then, along the street on the right, drove straight to the Taishi Mansion.
The daughter came back, and the people up and down the Taishi's Mansion were as excited and happy as a festival, the servants were busy preparing a good meal, and the little nephew Xu Jianye was jumping at the door to welcome the sister-in-law's return. The master and his wife were excited, pacing back and forth at the gate, looking up from time to time, and at that moment, it seemed that they wanted to see through!
When they saw the carriage running happily towards them, they shouted excitedly!
"It's coming, it's coming! It's back, it's back!"
Mrs. Taishi was even more tearful, she could not control her excitement, and threw herself into her husband's arms, whimpering and losing her voice! When people saw this, they all wept one after another.
The carriage stopped, and the door opened with a click! Mrs. Taishi almost threw herself at the door of the carriage, but was caught by the Taishi; Xu Zixuan and Xiang'er were already in tears, they threw themselves out of the carriage, hugged the old lady and wept. One shouted:
"Xuan'er, Xiang'er!"
One shouted, "Mother!"
One also shouted affectionately as if calling for a mother:
"Old lady!"
Wu Shuang looked at Taishi Xu quietly, although he was smiling, it was the most unusual way for Taishi to summon him, because the friends who had met with Taishi in the past had already made a bow when they saw him, and they were very excited. This also made Master Xu feel particularly novel, as if he said in his heart:
"You young man, you kidnapped all my daughters, don't you know how to salute and greet your husband when you see him!"
When he was about to raise his hand to salute the other party, he did not expect that the young man moved faster, clasped his fist at him, and called out very politely:
"Master Taishi!"
"Wu Shaoxia!"
Everyone was relieved to see that they all saluted each other, especially She Gang, laughed, and the sound almost shook the lotus pavilion opposite, so the old housekeeper Xiao Hua hurriedly greeted everyone:
"Master, Wu Shaoxia, don't stand, let's sit in the house!"
The old lady also smiled and said;
"Yes, yes, yes! We are patronizing and talking, and the two benevolent fathers will quickly invite the hall to worship tea!"
The living room of Taishi's house is spacious and bright, rich and elegantly furnished, and the windows are bright and clean, and it is spotless. Taishi sat on the main seat, and Wu Shuang and She Gang sat on his left and right.
They began to drink tea and began to discuss business.
Taishi said:
The twists and turns of the past few days have caused the two benevolent fathers to suffer a lot of grievances and torture! The old man is really uneasy. ”
"Master Taishi is not like this!" Wu Shuang said, "Things are often like this, without some frost and hardship, then the plum blossoms are fragrant!"
"Yes!" She Gang put the teacup on the small shelf at hand, smiled and said, "Master Taishi really doesn't blame himself, this is all in the past, don't mention it!" Seeing that his words were frank and his mouth was open, Taishi appreciated it more and more.
Thus saying:
"She Daxia, fast talking, worthy of being a good man! The old man is deeply honored to be able to meet two heroes!"
"What should we do now, Master Taishi?" Wu Shuang asked.
"Okay, that's a good question!" Taishi Xu said, "Later, we will summon the relevant officials in charge of this case on time, and on time, we will promptly announce to the public the true information provided by the coachman of Governor Wang's family, Alai! In this way, the 500,000 taels of gold and silver of unknown origin will be known to the public; moreover, we will also dig up the veil on the matter of Cao Kun, the ninth prince, Gan Zitong, the secretary of the military department, and Hu Wei, the foreign officer, who have formed a party for personal gain, and sought power and usurped the throne, so that the emperor and the people of the world will know everything!"
"Ah! In this way, the unjust case of Governor Wang's family has finally been resolved!" Wu Shuang said with emotion.
"And what should we do with these murderous thieves?" She Gang couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, the old servant Xiao Hua came to me in a panic and said:
"Master, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!"
Master Xu hurriedly asked in fright:
"What's the fuss?"
"Just now, the plaintiff Alai who came with Wu Shaoxia was assassinated!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked on the spot. (To be continued.) )
