Chapter 17
For the first half of his life, Lu Tang struggled with hunger, poverty, exams, and fate. For 20 years, he believed that he was invincible and tenacious. In the unknown dynasty that cannot be found in the history books, her invincible will is frequently on the verge of disintegration due to the warmth and protection of strangers again and again.
After walking in the cold and snowy fields for a long time, she almost forgot what it feels like to be warm, and when she found that the person who gave the warm tinder was also in the severe cold, another feeling grew and spread from her heart... ..
"It's been two days, sister Yu and the others, why haven't they come back?"
Wang Qi sat in the lobby of the inn, staring at the door in a daze.
As soon as Lu Tang stood behind the counter, he knocked on the beads of the planner.Due to the absence of the cook in the store, there has been no food business in the past two days, and it has not opened except for a passing businessman who came to rest yesterday.Fortunately, this is ancient times, there is no such thing as water and energy fees, garbage collection, and the shop and land are all owned by the Hong family, otherwise it would be a real loss if all the miscellaneous expenses are added together.
"Boss, the income for the past two days is eighty cents. After deducting the cost of spoiled food and the monthly tax share, there is still...five cents." Lu Tang said weakly. After the final amount of money, I added a sentence: "When Sister Yu and the others come back with their wages, we still have some money to make."
Shaking her fan and sitting near the door, Hong Xi'er sighed and said, "What happened to the county magistrate's house, now as long as Lingchu and the others can come back undisturbed, what wages are they expecting? Well, let's do business Well, it's normal to make money and lose money, it's okay."
Lu Tang opened his mouth, and swallowed back the principles of the future world. In this age where people don't fight with officials, and the poor don't fight with the rich, it's better than anything else to be able to earn a living safely.
Sighing, she put down her pen and joined the camp of sitting on the sidelines.In the past two days, the affairs of the county grandpa's house have been full of ups and downs. When she glanced over, she saw the rich expressions of the two middle-aged women who were whispering in front of the fruit stall. No need to guess, she knew that they were talking about the county grandpa's house. gossip.
Hey!Sure enough, some inheritances are really thousands of years old, "a long history".
Lu Tangyi was observing the lively performance of the two old women, and suddenly saw that the two of them shut up and stared at one place with solemn expressions. The speed of changing their faces was amazing.Lu Tang was amused, and thought to himself, what kind of Western scenery is this that moved the two "Bai Xiaosheng" in the town?The next moment, she turned her head and saw the Yu family siblings appearing in her line of sight.
"Sister Yu!"
Wang Qi seemed to have installed some kind of activation device, before she had time to call out, she had already rushed out.
"Sister Yu, are you okay? Did they make things difficult for you?"
When Yu Ling first saw it was her, she patted the hand holding her arm, and comforted her: "Brother Qi, it's all right, everything is fine."
"Lingchu."
Hong Xi'er also greeted them, seeing that although both of them were quite haggard, their clothes were neat and they didn't look like they were being bullied, so they were relieved: "Quick, come inside."
A few people entered the inn and sat down. Lu Tang picked up the teapot and poured water for their siblings. Yu Hanshi took the Gudong Gudong and drank it, then patted his stomach and let out a sigh: "My God, I'm finally home."
"What's the matter? Is the real murderer caught?"
Yu Lingchu took two sips of water, and then took a deep breath: "I got it, by the way, shopkeeper, Miss Ruan asked me to bring you a message, thank you and Tang Yi."
Hearing this, Hong Xier and Lu Tang looked at each other, and the former asked, "Who is the murderer?"
Before Yu Lingchu could speak this time, Yu Hanshi took the first step and said: "You will never know who the murderer is. The county magistrate still wants to keep it a secret and not tell us. I only found out when I overheard their servants talking about it." .”
Seeing his excited look, Wang Qi knew that this kid had come back to life: "Don't be fooled, what's going on?"
Yu Hanshi wiped his mouth, lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Who would have thought that the groom's family members did it! Hey! How about a knife on the head of Sezi."
Wang Qi: "Where did you learn all this, hurry up and get to the point, who is it?"
"It's a bit complicated to say. The murderer was the groom's personal attendant. It is said that they grew up together. But because the two of them fell in love with the bridegroom's younger sister at the same time, the groom and his sister later fell in love. Marrying Miss Ruan has betrayed her again, this attendant was so angry that he poisoned and killed the groom at the wedding banquet. Alas, it is also unfaithful and unrighteous."
After hearing his words, several people all looked embarrassed, and Lu Tang said: "You wait for Huihan first, the bridegroom's sister? Is this chaos or something? Kill people for this?"
Yu Lingchu shook his head after hearing what his younger brother said, and then explained: "The aunt is the niece of the mother's family adopted by the old lady. She is regarded as a righteous daughter, and she and the military guard are actually distant cousins. According to the aunt, it is The military guard bullied her when she was a child, and the bullying became worse as she grew up. She couldn't bear it and committed suicide, but fortunately the servant rescued her. Later, the military guard wanted to marry Miss Ruan, so he She said to let her wait for him for a year, and she will definitely take her as a concubine in the future. The aunt hated the military guard to the core, and she couldn't get rid of it, so she thought about poisoning him on the wedding day before committing suicide .”
After hearing the ins and outs, the three of them fell silent for a moment, and none of them had thought of this truth.
"Sister, how do you know such details?"
Yu Lingchu looked at his younger brother helplessly: "Miss Ruan called me to talk that day, and they were making a scene in the side hall, so I heard it."
After being silent for a while, Lu Tang finally said, "If this is the case, the military guard really deserves to die, but what does this have to do with that attendant?"
Yu Lingchu: "The attendant heard that my aunt had confessed, and ran to the front hall to complain, saying that he did all this by himself, that he couldn't bear to see my aunt suffer, and that after being bullied, she would be abandoned from beginning to end, that's why she poisoned her. Killed the military guard. He also said that the military guard was actually a licentious and cruel person, if Miss Ruan really married, it would not be a good result."
Hong Xier: "Who killed the military guard in the end, can the magistrate have a conclusion?"
Yu Lingchu shook his head: "When I let us out, I secretly asked the guard boy, and he said that there was no specific decision on the matter until now, but that both of them were detained. The old lady passed out several times, and woke up until Shouting to commit crimes, let my whole family die to be clean."
Everyone was silent again when they heard the words, Lu Tang was furious in his heart, this military guard really deserved to die, he just pitied the aunt.
Yu Han said suddenly at this moment: "I think it was the attendant who did it. After all, my aunt is a woman, so how can she have such courage."
Several people glanced at him, and continued to remain silent. After a while, Hong Xi'er said quietly: "Looking at it this way, the military guard's death was not wronged, and it's a pity for Miss Ruan to marry and suffer. Servant, I lost my life in vain."
Hearing her sigh, Lu Tang frowned: "This case has a previous story. If the military guard hadn't been threatening the young aunt with violence for many years, how could there be such a follow-up matter. The law is nothing more than Favors don’t necessarily lead to a death sentence. Besides, the real culprit has not yet been determined, so how could they both lose their lives in vain?”
Hong Xi'er looked at her: "Well, if a servant has a heart against his master, if the evidence is convincing, the master's family can be killed directly. And the military guard is a military general with official status. No matter what he has done, just this one. If the person who killed him is an ordinary person, he should be punished and executed without mercy, this is the law of law."
"What kind of fucking law is this!" Unable to hold back the swearing, Lu Tang gradually calmed down as he watched a room full of people staring at her.This is a feudal/established dynasty, and people are divided into ranks, right and wrong, and black and white are all in the thoughts of those in power.Because of the power struggle, didn't she, the princess who was originally a master, was also charged with an unwarranted crime and became a wanted criminal? Wouldn't it be hard for her to protect herself?
"I just feel that the aunt and the attendants are a bit pitiful." After adding this sentence, Lu Tang continued to remain silent.This is the first time she has missed the future society so much after coming here for so long. At least justice, freedom and equality are advocated there. Even the privileged class would not dare to act evil so blatantly.
"Most poor people in the world." After a while, Hong Xi'er lowered her eyes and sighed softly.After saying that, she saw that the atmosphere was so gloomy, she got up and said: "Okay, everyone, don't be so sad. Brother Qi, go and boil some water. Lingchu and Hanshi go back to the room and take a good hot bath. Ah Tang You go buy some mugwort and order it, and smoke it in the store to get rid of bad luck. Kill a chicken and get half a rib in the evening, so we can have a good meal. Anyway, it’s best if Lingchu and Hanshi can come back safely It's gone."
"Okay, shopkeeper."
"Hey, I'm going right now."
Wang Qi and Lu Tang took their orders to work, and Yu Lingchu got up and took out a cloth bag from the bag: "San Niang, this is given by Miss Ruan before leaving, and it is said to be wages for the past few days."
Hong Xi'er took the bag and opened it, and inside was five pennies.
"This? Why are there so many?"
"I knew it was too much when I took it over. Later, Miss Ruan said that according to the agreement, the wages we paid for one day were consistent money, which happened to be five days before and after. So I gave five days' wages."
"It seems that Miss Ruan is really a reasonable and fair person." Hong Xi'er nodded, and thoughtfully said: "I just don't know if I can show mercy..." Her voice became weaker, and then I took out two pieces of money from the cloth bag and stuffed the bag back to Yu Lingchu, "You have suffered a lot on this errand, I will keep the agreed wages, and you can keep the rest by yourself, Brother Shi is also very old." There are many places where money will be used in the future.”
Yu Lingchu was not willing to accept it, and said: "How can this be done? The store must have lost a lot of money these days. Let's follow the old rules. Sanniang, don't refuse me, what can we spend on food and lodging here? Money? I count everything I saved for Han Shi." After speaking, without waiting for Hong Xier to give way, he turned around and walked back to the room quickly.
"Hey! This Lingchu." Seeing the person running in small steps, Hong Xier shook her head with a smile, sweeping away her gloomy mood just now.Yu Lingchu is a person who values affection. When the Hong family was in the most difficult time a few years ago, they paid double the wages to invite her to come over and she didn't agree. It is thanks to her and Wang Qi who have been by her side for so many years. by my side.
Hong Xi'er was in a daze when she suddenly smelled a smell of fire, and when she turned around, she saw Lu Tang with a handful of mugwort under his arm struggling to start a fire.
well.Sighing in her heart, Hong Xier looked at Lu Tangyi. Sometimes people are really smart and their heads turn quickly. It seems that their ability to take care of themselves is not bad, but when it comes to some...she can't tell To be specific, but there are always things that everyone knows. When it comes to Lu Atang, she will definitely do some puzzling behaviors.For example, the last time she ate pig's trotters, she actually asked what it was?Asking her to burn wood and light a fire won't do it, but she cooks well.The handwriting is average, but the truth in the book is a set of rules.And now the smoked moxa...
After taking the fire folder from the counter, Hong Xier blew lightly, and lit the fire behind Lu Tang's arm.
"Hey shopkeeper!"
"Hey what, smoked moxa is for the leaves." Lighting the mugwort, Hong Xi'er turned the torch with her fingertips and blew lightly, watching Lu Tangyi narrowing her eyes slightly: "Lu Atang, what do I think, you It's kind of weird, isn't it?"
After walking in the cold and snowy fields for a long time, she almost forgot what it feels like to be warm, and when she found that the person who gave the warm tinder was also in the severe cold, another feeling grew and spread from her heart... ..
"It's been two days, sister Yu and the others, why haven't they come back?"
