Abandoned Husband to Farm the Farm

Chapter 69

Wang Hui took the doctor to see Zhao Qing's legs that night, and rushed to inquire about the news the next morning. He went there all day, and it was already late at night when he came back.Suddenly there was a strong wind outside, dark clouds gathered, and after a while, he thought of heavy rain. The rain was mixed with the howling wind, and the sound of people could hardly be heard.It's already summer, and I'm afraid there will be more and more heavy rain in the future.

Listening to the sound of the wind and rain outside, Mu Xiaolu was still leaning against the table, the candles were dimly lit, he was drowsy, and his brows were furrowed.

Wang Hui quietly opened the door and came in. Seeing this, he hugged him distressedly and kissed him.Mu Xiaolu woke up suddenly, jumped up and grabbed him and asked, "How is it?"

Wang Hui took off his wet clothes, wiped his face, held his shoulders with one hand, stroked his frowning brows with the other, and said, "Today I went to the home of Prince Rui and Lord Qiu to inquire about news. But Prince Rui and Qiu Lord Hou said that he didn't know about this matter. He only heard that he was investigating the corruption case of the river channel. He didn't expect Zhao Qing to be in it. He thought he was going south to patrol the river. It seemed to be a secret trial. It was very strange why he was so hasty. The case is settled. Don't worry, I will go to another house tomorrow."

Mu Xiaolu knew it was useless to be anxious, so he had to wash and sleep.Listening to the sound of wind and rain hitting the window, I couldn't fall asleep, but just lay down.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the window. I straightened up and listened carefully. I knew that Xiaofei was calling from outside, so I quickly got up and opened the door.Xiaofei was also soaked through, and while closing the door, he took off his outer robe, without taking a sip of hot tea, and asked hastily, "What happened to Zhao Qing?"

Mu Xiaolu took his two pieces of clothes and a dry cloth, helped Xiaofei wipe them and put them on again, Wang Hui poured hot tea for them, and the three sat down, Wang Huicai said: "Zhao Qing brought us a letter earlier, saying It's about investigating corruption, it might be dangerous, and we need to take care of Cousin Taoye, who knows that Zhao Qing has already been thrown into prison in the capital, and there is no news about it."

Xiaofei frowned and said, "Brother Lu, I don't understand these things, so I know how to use spells, or if I steal Zhao Qing out, let's just leave and let them go. Be mad at them!"

Mu Xiaolu shook his head: "What if the case can be overturned. We are all mortals, and it is always inappropriate to go to the fairy world with you. Let's talk about it when it is absolutely necessary. The most important thing is to save people now."

Xiaofei nodded, noncommittal.The three fell asleep separately.

It was raining lightly the next day, and Wang Hui went out to investigate again.This time I said I was going to Zhou Xiangye's house.After all, they are in-laws, so they must be able to help one or two.

Here Mu Xiaolu looked at the enchanting scenery outside the window, not in the mood at all, and sighed while rubbing his legs.Xiaofei just laughed: "Look, if you left with me back then, these things wouldn't have happened. Of course, I'm not saying Brother Zhao is bad, he's a decent person, and he probably can't do anything out of the ordinary. Eight or nine are wronged. The most convenient thing now is to leave the whole family."

Mu Xiaolu still shook his head and said, "How do we go? The whole family, what should we do if this and that are gone? Let's rescue Zhao Qing."

The whole morning, the sky was still drizzle, and the broken branches and leaves fell all over the ground. Mu Xiaolu watched the old servant tidy up in the yard, wondering why Wang Hui hadn't come back yet.

Suddenly, outside the gate, there was a clattering sound of the door knocker being photographed.The old servant hurriedly opened the door to take a look, and saw Mrs. Wei Liwei.Hastily let him in and asked, "Master Wei, is there something for my master?"

Wei Li's hair and clothes were all wet, and one of the ribs of an umbrella was broken, and the fallen bamboo stick was drooping.Seeing the old servant's question, he nodded, looked up, and saw Mu Xiaolu walking towards here slowly, hurried a few steps, disregarding the muddy water on the ground, he knelt down on the green brick floor, choked up and said repeatedly: "It's all my fault, it's all me! Madame, please punish me."

"Uh." Mu Xiaolu took a step back, looking at this source of disaster for his family, feeling complicated.If Zhao Qing didn't take charge of this matter, wouldn't there be no accidents?If there is no accident, they may still live in peace with their cousin.My family will also live a pastoral life peacefully and beautifully.

But there are not so many possibilities, things have happened, and we can only accept the reality.I had no choice but to suppress the anger in my heart, leaned forward to help Wei Li and said, "This is the end, Mr. Wei doesn't need to blame himself, please talk inside."

The two entered the living room one after the other, without pouring tea, Mu Xiaolu invited Wei Li to sit down and asked, "Master Wei, what's the matter here?"

Wei Li wiped the water stains on the general face, not sure if it was rain or tears, sniffed his nose and said intermittently: "Oh, today, I am here to make amends, and secondly, I am here to explain the process to you. Apart from the Ministry of Industry, there are higher authorities Several important officials, I am afraid that even the Holy Majesty will not know the truth. I don’t know if it will be helpful to save Zhao Qing if I say it. You have the right to listen.”

"Oh, please tell me." Mu Xiaolu asked blankly with blank eyes.

"When Ding You, the next official, returned to his hometown, he told Zhao Qing not to act rashly, but to establish a good relationship with everyone, and discuss with me about anything. After all, I have stayed in the Ministry of Industry for a few years longer than him, how can I I don’t know what’s going on there? But this time, Zhao Qing didn’t know what was wrong. He even checked the account of the river without saying hello to me. For Qing's reckless actions, the offender must be the superior, and the Ministry of Industry is divided into several factions, and I can't cover them all. This time, I offended the newly appointed Minister You. I just found out that behind him is the emperor's uncle. Originally, there was no Zhao What's the matter with Qing, but he meddled in the account book and even copied one."

Mu Xiaolu quickly asked: "Uncle Huang? Is it difficult to provoke? Is there any hope of overturning the case?"

"Well, it's not clear whether the verdict will be overturned or not. It's just that the higher-ups unexpectedly lost their pawns and guarded the commander-in-chief, and threw out a few pawns, saying it was corruption, and reported it to the Holy One. The Holy One ordered Dali Temple to sentence him to death in a fit of anger. Our request The case is being retried, but I heard that the little prince has been ill recently, and the Holy Majesty has no intention of going to court, even though it is a big case, he has handed over the case to the emperor's uncle."

"Is there any evidence of Zhao Qing's embezzlement?" Mu Xiaolu couldn't help standing up. The emperor didn't care about such a big case, which was related to the whereabouts of millions of silver. Could it be that he is so stupid?

Wei Li dejectedly said: "The Ministry of Industry is now controlled like an iron bucket, and Zhao Qing is not mentioned at all outside. He is just a low-level chief. Who cares? Then his name is stuffed into the report list, and the case is closed. Uncle Huang personally tried it. What do you think should be done? Those who were reported were all officials the size of sesame seeds and mung beans. Who would care if Zhao Qing was in there? He should not have been introduced to Beijing to come to the Ministry of Industry."

Although Mu Xiaolu is not an official, he is well aware of the darkness in the officialdom, so he might really be unable to escape this time.Although Wang Hui has a high position, he has retired from the imperial court and has no real power at all. If he wants to save Zhao Qing, he can only beg others. Who else will stand up for a small Ministry of Industry?What's more, those evidences are all true, it's just that Zhao Qing didn't participate in it, but who wouldn't make a fake?Now it's hard to tell.I'm afraid I can't find a way to redress my grievances with the ledger.

Mu Xiaolu felt that the sky was extremely gloomy, and it was a bit cold after the rain stopped.In this seemingly peaceful world, everywhere is prosperous and flowers are like brocades, but there are hidden dangers everywhere, and you will die if you are not careful.Wang Hui might not be able to save Zhao Qing, let alone a commoner himself?

Wei Li left in a hurry.Mu Xiaolu ordered the old servant to close the door, and waited for Wang Hui at home.Xiaofei kept surrounding him, offering food and drinks, always trying to distract him.But how could it be possible to disperse, the string hanging in my heart will not be loosened.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Hui came back.Mu Xiaolu asked him with his eyes, Wang Hui sighed, shook his head and said, "Master Zhou and the officials didn't intervene in this matter, saying that the case was handed over to the emperor uncle. I'll go find someone else tomorrow."

Mu Xiaolu's eyes dimmed, and he turned his head away.Wang Hui hugged him from behind, and said in a low voice: "It must be fine, at worst, I will rush into the Golden Palace with the account book, I don't believe that today's majesty can't listen to anything." Mu Xiaolu was noncommittal.Even if the monarch of a dynasty is considered a Mingjun, there will always be unjust, false and wrong cases, not to mention whether the monarch is a Mingjun or not?

On the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, Wang Hui was running around, but there was no progress.Wang Hui had a blister in his mouth in a hurry, and it hurt even when he ate and drank.Mu Xiaolu saw that the matter had come to an end, so it's better to make preparations early.Because even if the old lady came forward in person, it might not be very useful, because after all, the Wang family has been away from the court for many years, and they are just wealthy idlers. They have no real power in their hands, who can they ask for?What's more, in the eyes of those people, I am just a male favorite in the eyes of others.Zhao Qing is her brother-in-law, and not a genuine relative of the Wang family.

Seeing Wang Hui sucking his mouth in pain, Mu Xiaolu asked sullenly, "Did you say when did you cut him off?"

"It's the queen of autumn, but there's still time. I'll look for it again. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the law field!"

"Are you crazy?"

Wang Hui: "But..."

Mu Xiaolu snorted, "If you want to rob the practice field, you won't be allowed to go. If you go, you will die!"

Wang Hui didn't speak, his face turned red.

Wang Hui went out again the next day.But it took only half a day to come back with a pale face.Mu Xiaolu asked, "What's the matter? You look so ugly?"

Wang Hui hugged Mu Xiaolu and said, "This time, the execution ground is really going to be robbed. The emperor's uncle signed up, saying that the trial of the case is over, and the people are very angry. He requests that the execution be executed as soon as possible to make the people angry. The notice has just been posted. It was half a month later. Countless people cursed in front of the notice."

"!" Mu Xiaolu was stunned.No time at all?

Xiao Fei jumped out and shouted: "Brother Lu, there is no time. Why are you staying in such a place? Hurry up and get ready!"

Mu Xiaolu looked at Xiao Fei, then at Wang Hui, and asked, "Wang Hui, let me ask you, are you willing to follow me? The whole family is far away from the world, and there is no chance to come back."
