Chapter 111 Returning to Home
Li Xiaoyao and Lu Feng talked. As soon as they had dinner, the young man rushed in to report that Su Zicheng's car was about to arrive at the door.
The two hurried out. Su Zicheng had already got out of the car in the second door. He had just come out of the palace. He was dressed in a long silk dragon shirt with a black background and a jade belt around his waist, which was even more cold and sharp. The little man led him forward, and several people slowly walked to the flower hall by the lake.
Far away, Yu Yuanshan first saw Su Zicheng and others. He stood up and raised his feet forward, but turned abruptly. He ran to Liu Mingyi's side in two steps and whispered a few words. At this time, everyone in the flower hall felt something strange and pushed each other. They all saw Su Zicheng.
Liu Mingyi slowly stood up, shook his long shirt, and suddenly sighed and said, "You are exhausted. In the future, let's do whatever you want." The sound of silk bamboo from the water pavilion in the lake curled and gradually disappeared into the void. The flower hall was so quiet that the leaves fell to be heard.
Su Zicheng stopped four or five steps away from the door of the flower hall with his back, looking at the people in the hall calmly and indifferently. Liu Mingyi took a deep breath, walked out of the flower hall, went down the steps, picked up his long shirt and knelt on the ground. Su Zicheng looked at him meticulously after three kneeling and nine bows, then reached out to help Liu Mingyi and said with a smile, "I'm old, so I don't have to make this big gift in the future."
Being Liu Mingyi, the eighteen captives also knelt down and saluted. They got up and stood with their hands. Su Zicheng asked everyone happily: "You don't have to be so formal. Let's go in and talk."
At this time, Wisteria and Danyue have commanded many maids, carried away the short tables with leftovers of cold wine in the flower hall, changed a few clean stools, and brought tea water.
Su Zicheng sat straight on the large armchair, looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction. Lv Feng looked around at the seat and was about to sit down at Su Zicheng. Li Xiaoyao pulled him back and retreated straight to Dongping. Dongping hurried aside and quietly motioned Nanning to find two round drum stools to move over. Sit down for two people.
Everyone sat on the round stool in danger. Liu Mingyi stood up and bowed to the end and thanked him: "Your Majesty taught us that we have benefited a lot. We should have done our best to thank the prince for his kindness for his creation, but it is really old and unbearable. It is already the time when the lamp is exhausted, and our hearts are willing but powerless." Su Zicheng frowned and slowly put the cup in his hand a few times. Liu Mingyi looked at Su Zicheng's cup on several cups. His face was pale. He hugged his body and knelt to the ground. His hands were about to speak. Yu Yuanshan suddenly got up and stood in the middle of the hall and bowed and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Yu Yuanshan, you have been a ten-year-old scholar. , the original Liangdi household official, is good at managing goods and is willing to serve the power of dogs and horses.
Li Xiaoyao was secretly relieved. Su Zicheng smiled at the corners of his mouth and raised his hand and ordered, "This is Xiao Wang's blessing. In this case, you can enter our Liang Palace, and the merchants and merchants in the back of Liang will be taken care of by Mr. Yu, which is the blessing of Xiao Wang and the blessing of the people of Liang." Yu Yuanshan hurriedly bowed and thanked him. Before he retreated, An Zaihai also stood up and bowed. Qian Qian followed closely, and the remaining dozen people, look at me, I see you, and they are also busy standing up, willing to help,
Su Zicheng turned his head and looked at Liu Mingyi, who was kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand politely and smiled and said, "Help Mr. Liu up quickly. The master is an old and virtuous man. Xiao Wang respects him very much. The master has no care about the world. Naturally, it is better to respect the master's will. Later, let Xiao Wu send you back to his hometown. If she takes care of it, the husband will be able to enjoy his old age in the countryside.
Liu Mingyi shivered gently, looked up at Su Zicheng, his lips trembled for a moment, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request. I want to thank the fifth master's teaching in person." Lv Feng quickly stabbed Li Xiaoyao and whispered in her ear, "Look, people are afraid of you!" Li Xiaoyao glanced at Lv Feng and didn't answer his words. Su Zicheng hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyao and smiled, "Xiaowu?"
Li Xiaoyao stood up with a smile, walked to Liu Mingyi, arched his hand, and said with a smile, "The master is polite. People in the countryside of the five cities should not be 'teaching'. Later, the husband returned to his hometown to educate the villagers, promote sacred virtues, and benefit the neighbors. This is the blessing of the villagers in the city. Xiaowu thanked the master first. If there is any If there is a chance, you must go to the teacher to listen to the teacher's teaching.
Liu Mingyi looked at Li Xiaoyao in astonishment and stayed for a moment. He bowed to the end and thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance. When the old man returns to the countryside, he must be like the fifth master's guidance, promoting sacred virtue, teaching the villagers, and being this prosperous and happy people."
Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Su Zicheng and said with a smile, "There is no Taohuayuan in the prosperous world. It is not easy for me to be a good gentleman. If there is any difficulty, don't forget the Liang Wangfu. The master is also from the Liang Wang family. Don't look outside."
"Xiao Wu said that everything in Liangdi was first decided. When the master returned to the countryside, he should not blindly lie high for retirement, but also think more about the people in the countryside. If there is anything, just send someone to look for me or Xiao Wu." Su Zicheng took Li Xiaoyao's words with a smile and ordered him. Liu Mingyi quickly knelt to the ground and even knocked a few times to go back to his hometown for retirement, which was unexpected. Zhao Yuxian stood in the crowd and looked at Liu Mingyi with envy. He was also old and tired. He also wanted to go home, hug his grandchildren, look at his family, and take care of the world.
Zhao Yuxian was envious. Wang Jihai, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, stood up slightly and knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, who has been sick for many years, is also willing to go back to the countryside like Mr. Liu to promote his virtues, benefit their neighbors, teach the villagers, serve the prince, and dance in the countryside for the emperor's Qingming." Before Wang Jihai finished speaking, Zhao Yuxian also knelt to the ground. After Zhao Yuxian, more than a dozen people knelt down and asked to return to his hometown for retirement.
Su Zicheng didn't mind. He looked at the four or five people standing one by one, turned his head and looked at the black or white hair kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand with a smile and said, "Get up, go back to your hometown or stay. As long as you have the heart, you can contribute to the country. Go back and let Xiaowu arrange for you to go back to your hometown. Okay, Xiao Wang has something else to do, so I won't accompany everyone. If there is anything, just look for Xiao Wu. With that, Su Zicheng got up and turned his head to look at Yu Yuanshan and other gentle orders, "You go back home with me first."
Li Xiaoyao took Lv Feng and sent Su Zicheng and others out of the other courtyard of Lvfu, and then turned back. Looking at the prisoner standing around the flower hall, he turned his head and told Zhang Gouzi, "You and Liushun, see if these masters still want to go back to get something. If you don't need to go back, stay here for one night and prepare for tomorrow. Vehicles and horses, send them back to their hometown. Zhang Gouzi simply agreed. Zhao Yuxian breathed a long sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe his sweat. Liu Mingyi looked at Li Xiaoyao cautiously. Before he got home, he couldn't believe her. The sages were right, but women and villains were difficult to raise!
Zhang Gouzi greeted everyone to go to the front yard to rest. Li Xiaoyao was anxious to rush back. He turned his head and looked at Lv Feng and said, "I went straight back to Liushu Hutong. Where are you going? Today is the holiday. Do you want to see your top card?
"I won't go!" Lu Feng quickly refused: "I told you, it's just something. Let's see what she does during the holiday? Let's go back. I haven't seen Brother Li and the others for a long time. Let's go back to Erhuai and Guizi for a drink!" Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows with a smile, went out of the gate of the courtyard with Lu Feng, got on the bus and went back to Liushu Hutong.
Early the next morning, Li Zongliang and others set off to rush back to the Huwei barracks. Li Xiaoyao and Aunt Fan sent everyone away. Aunt Fan pulled Xiaoyao to talk about the things planned by the weaving workshop for a long time. They were small, suitable and cheap. It was really not easy. Li Xiaoyao listened for a long time, thought for a moment, and lowered He said, "Don't worry, how much can be done? I'll figure it out."
Mrs. Fan looked at Li Xiaoyao, suddenly reached out and hugged her and let go. Looking at Li Xiaoyao, she whispered in a mixed voice, "It's difficult for you. This big family depends on you. Your eldest brother is too stubborn, and the man is thick. They are all hands-openers. Who knows the difficulties in the middle of firewood, rice, oil and salt? There is still some money in it. Although it is small, let's take it out first. What do you think?
"No, keep it for my sister's dowry. Big brother, they shake hands, and Mr. Fan is also a careless person. If this weaving shop is opened, it is the Li family and the property of Shuisheng brother. My sister's dowry is my sister's own. Anyway, my sister has money in her own hands, and everything is convenient. Don't worry, she can always think about it. Come on, I'll go first. There's still something important today. Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile. Mrs. Fan nodded and sent Li Xiaoyao outside the second door before turning back.
Li Xiaoyao went out and got into the car, and the car did not go to Liang Wangfu, but went straight to Kaiping Mansion.
Today is the day of the trial of the three halls of Shuitong's case. Nan Xiude, the governor of Kaiping Prefecture, came from the Marquis of Ningyuan. Li Xiaoyao looked at the case file for a few days and discussed it with Shuiyan. The case should be raised. When it comes to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the three halls of Dali Temple and Yushitai will be tried. Shuiyan looked for a staff who were familiar with the Nanzhifu and persuaded him. Naturally, the Nanzhifu is not willing to ask for it. In any case, this case is a pile of hot charcoal. If it can be pushed out, it is simply burning high incense. On the same day, it was folded and approved by the emperor. 'This case is serious, and the three departments of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and Yushitai will be tried.'
The place of the trial was still at the Kaiping government office gate. Li Xiaoyao got out of the car in an alley behind the government gate, wore a curtain hat, and several young men of the Shui family protected him. They entered through the side door of the government office, passed through a hall, and entered the retreat place of the government office. A small room opened the curtain to enter. Shuiyan and Shuilian were already sitting in the room.
