Chapter 412: Imperial Petition (I)

When the carriage of Cao's mansion came, there were also Dong Ejinghui's master and servant. Cao Zhong, the chief butler of Cao Mansion, Cao Fang, Xiao Man, and others, with more than ten long-term entourage, also rode over.

Jinghui got out of the carriage with tears in her eyes, holding her grandmother's arm and unable to speak. She turned her head and saw that Li Wei was fine, and then looked at Cao Hao, and was very grateful to the two of them.

Jue Luo frowned and said, "Didn't you let Chun'er spread the word to you and tell you to stay honestly in Cao Mansion, why did you come here again?" ”

Jing Hui said: "Where the grandmother goes, the granddaughter will naturally follow, and the granddaughter will serve the grandmother!" ”

Jue Luo pushed away his granddaughter's arm and said angrily: "Nonsense, whose good girl came to the court to show her face!" Speaking of this, he said to Cao Hao: "Lord Cao, you and the county lord are both kind-hearted people, and the granddaughter of the old man will be entrusted to the house for the time being!" ”

After speaking, the old man had already solemnly bowed down.

Cao Hao hurriedly avoided the side and said, "The old lady doesn't have to be polite, this is really an outsider!" ”

Before Jinghui could say more, she was scolded by Jue Luo's feigned anger: "What, even you have to disobey your grandmother?" ”

Jing Hui shook her head with tears in her eyes, and Jue Luo said to Shen Mama, the servant woman beside her: "You and Chun'er waited for the girl to go over, and asked the lord of Herui for the old body, just say that the old body is cheeky, and after a while, you will come to the door in person to thank you!" ”

Although Mama Shen didn't worry about Jue Luo's family, she had been waiting for her for most of her life, and she knew that she was a good surname, so she bowed her head and responded.

Standing on the street like this, Jue Luo's heart was also indescribably bitter, and he turned to Cao Hao and said, "Lord Cao, let's go!" ”

Cao Hao responded, and instructed the chief housekeeper Cao Zhong to find another car and escort Jinghui and their master and servant back. He looked at Li Wei and Wang Mengxu on the side and said: "Brother Li is injured, if you don't think the house is shabby, please follow Mr. Wang to the house to rest for a while, and return later." ”

Wang Mengxu saw that Li Wei was so embarrassed, and he didn't know what his injuries were, so he turned his head and asked what he meant: "Youju, you see ......?"

Li Wei had already waved his big hand like a fan and said to Cao Hao: "Lord Cao, don't call it that, you have killed the students, just call the students' names!" Li Wei is fine, and he made a special trip to thank him, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. Adults are busy, students go back first, and then go to the house to bother, and say hello to adults. ”

Because Luo was still waiting, Cao Hao was not good at delaying. He first nodded to Li Wei, then hugged his fist at Wang Mengxu, and then asked Jue Luo to get into the car.

When Jue Luo got into the car, the Gan who was originally kneeling beside him was already stupid, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't speak.

Cao Hao turned over and got on his horse, and led a group of people to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army on the side of Chongwenmen.

Some of the people who watched the excitement and the helpers refused to disperse, and they all followed the carriage.

This carriage was used by the Li family when he was in Beijing, and it was even spacious inside, and Jue Luo sat in it, took off the rosary on his wrist, and whispered: "Amitabha! ”

"Disobedience"? Cao Hao rode on horseback, thinking about the appearance of Gandu Fangcai. What is it that causes Luo to be so disheartened? Could it be because of Jinghui's family affair again?

It's just that "disobedience and unfilial piety" is a heinous crime, and if the crime is really established, it will be a decisive decision. Even if the Jue Luo clan is disappointed in his descendants, he will not be ruthless, he really wants their surname, right?

In any case, Cao Hao couldn't see that Jue Luo, who was in his seventies, was "looting" in the name of intercepting him on the street.

After two streets, when I was about to reach Chongwenmen, I saw a lot of people hulala in front of me. Wei Hei and Zheng Hu were on their own alerts, Cao Hao looked up at the scene, it was just sunset, the sun was hanging high, could it be that Kali was going to have another "robbery" farce?

The man at the head was bare-headed, without a hat, and was wearing a new royal blue robe, which was the same Kali who had received the news and went around to the front to stop him.

Because Kali was followed by more than a dozen long entourage, the road was blocked, and Cao Hao and his party had to rein in the horse.

Kari ordered everyone to stand still, and he took two steps forward alone, knelt on the ground, knelt in front of the carriage, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Eniang, Eniang, my son knows that he is wrong!" It's good for my mother to beat her son and scold her son, don't be angry! ”

When Jue Luo heard Kali's words, his lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.

Kali kowtowed his head and cried: "It's the son who is unfilial, it's the son who is disobedient, and the son already regrets it, and he doesn't dare anymore!" Eniang, thinking of the love between our mother and son for 60 years, you will forgive your son! The son has been naughty since he was a child, and it is Eniang who teaches her son to read and write...... The son is out of office, and it is the mother who teaches him earnestly...... Eniang...... Eniang, my son was blinded by lard, and my son knew that he was wrong...... "In the end, he was already crying.

Cao Hao sat on horseback, watching this farce, and wondered a little in his heart, this old lady is going to be real?

In the howling of the Kali, Jue Luo opened the curtain of the carriage, but there was no sadness or joy on his face. Looking at the Kali kneeling by the carriage, the old man said solemnly: "Old man, let me ask you, where did the mushrooms come from, and by whose hands?" ”

Kali was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't respond immediately.

When Jue Luo saw that he was wearing a robe, she had sewed it with her own hands on Kali's fiftieth birthday a few years ago. Thinking of the mother-son relationship for more than 50 years, the old man felt very painful in his heart, held on to the door frame of the carriage, and said sharply: "Say, where did those poisonous mushrooms come from, and whose idea was it to poison the old body?" ”

This matter, however, was not the work of the Kali. It was only after Jue Luo left the house that he heard his wife return and knew that something was wrong. It was at the instigation of his brother Selechi, and his son did it.

He only has Gandu, his own son, and he can't look down on it with his eyes, and when he sees it all day, he wants to scold him. Despite this, it was also his own son, and seeing his mother-in-law so angry, Kali sighed in his heart and kowtowed, "E-niang...... Eniang...... It's the son who is confused......"

When Jue Luo heard this, he only felt a pain in his heart. She was still a daughter-in-law or a second son who acted recklessly in private, but she didn't expect that the eldest son she had pulled so hard could treat her like this.

Jue Luo's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "You are so ...... Are you like this, do you believe what others say, thinking that Eniang has ruined your future? ”

Kali finally felt injustice in his heart, raised his head and said, "Could it be that Eniang did it, and his son can't even be annoyed?" Whose parents are not compassionate, and the compassion of the partial mother is too much. Worthy of the Bodhisattva, worthy of the people's livelihood, are you worthy of your children and grandchildren? ”

The louder he spoke, the more he spoke, and by the end it was already full of questioning tones.

Jue Luo looked straight at Kali and muttered, "Even now, don't you know what you are doing wrong? ”

Because this side is close to the Yamen of the Infantry Army, there are already officers and soldiers patrolling the streets of the Soldiers and Horses Division.

Kali looked at it, anxious, didn't hear Jue Luo's question, and said to himself: "Eniang, my son has been filial for nearly sixty years, can't all the sins be eliminated this time?" E-Niang, E-Niang is the most compassionate, isn't there still that sentence, called 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', E-Niang can't bear to let her children and grandchildren die? Eniang, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, let's go to our family, it is okay if you want to beat or scold, that is, you have to ask Zeng Shou to be the master of the crime for your son! ”

The Zeng Shou mentioned in his mouth was the patriarch of the Dong E family, inheriting the position of duke left by his ancestors. In terms of generation, he is the cousin of Kali.

Jue Luo clan grabbed the Buddha beads vigorously in his hands, and looked up to see that among the people brought by the Kali, Seleqi and Gantai were impressively listed, and the faces of both father and son were ugly.

Jue Luo lowered his eyelids, lowered the curtain, and did not respond again.

After coming over for a long time, I heard Jue Luo say in the sedan chair: "Get out of the way!" ”

Kary's face turned pale, and he was already squatting on the ground. The coachman looked at the people in front of him, a little uncertain, glanced at Cao Hao, and asked, "Uncle......"

Although Kali was fifty or sixty years old, crying like this, it was really embarrassing, but Cao Hao didn't sympathize at all in his heart.

Hearing the words "poisonous mushroom" and "poisonous killing" in his ears, Cao Hao could already understand why the old lady was so sad and angry. So he motioned for the coachman to depart.

As the saying goes, "all good and filial piety come first, and all evil silver is the first", and it is really a heinous evil deed to be able to achieve the level of "killing mothers".

The people patrolling the camp on the left and right were about to leave this side, and no matter how bold Kali was, he would not dare to commit murder near the yamen of the infantry commander.

Seeing that the carriage was about to move, Kali relieved himself, stepped forward and pulled the reins, knelt down and begged, "E-niang, ......"

Jue Luo said in a deep voice through the curtain: "Don't act like this, you have forgotten that you are the descendant of the docile prince?" Dong E's family only has heroes who died in battle, and there are no children and grandchildren who died on their knees, so you have to leave some dignity. ”

The two have been mother and son for most of their lives, and who knows Luo's stubborn temper better than Kali?

Seeing that the pleading was hopeless, his expression was already a little abrupt, and when he heard Jue Luo's mention of "descendants", he remembered the brothers Gandu and Gantai, and did not raise his head, whimpering: "Eniang, who has no descendants...... Who has no offspring...... These heinous crimes of disobedience were all committed by the son alone......" After speaking, he put down the reins in his hand, took two steps back and knelt down with a blank expression, and fell to the ground silently.

Jue Luo understood the meaning of his words, and his tears could not be stopped.

The patrol camp saw these people gathered on the road here, and they had already come to ask.

Seeing that Cao Hao was an official and the carriage was a super-grade order, he asked very respectfully: "This lord, what are you ......?"

Although some people have seen the Kali of Volta, who will take it seriously.

Cao Hao rode on a horse and said to the military academy at the head: "This official has something to go to the Yamen of the Infantry Army, dare to ask if this lord is coming out of the Yamen?" Is Taka-sama available? ”

The current chief officer of the infantry army commander Yamen is Long Keduo, so Cao Hao asked.

The junior colonel replied: "Before the lowly official left the camp, he happened to see the Long army returning from outside! ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then this adult is busy, and this official is one step ahead!" ”

When the little colonel heard this, he took the soldiers to the side and made way for Cao Hao and the others.

Even if Seleqi and Gantai were no longer happy, they did not dare to intercept the court officials in front of the patrol camp, so they could only avoid it in a wistful manner.

One time later, Cao Hao and his entourage arrived outside the yamen of the infantry commander.

Jue Luo got out of the carriage and looked at the yamen with a little sadness on his face. Cao Hao had already turned over and dismounted, and when he saw that Luo was like this, he couldn't bear it, and comforted: "The old lady, please take care, not for others, but also for her granddaughter!" ”

Jue Luo turned his head, with a little guilt on his face, and said: "The old body has lived for nearly eighty years, and I have never owed anything to others, but now I am tired of Lord Cao, and the old body is really ashamed. Now, in front of the old man's yamen, for the sake of the old man's poor granddaughter, he once again trusted him! ”

Cao Hao said: "Old lady, don't worry, the younger daughter-in-law is also thinking about Jinghui girl." Speaking of which, the younger generation still treats her as a 'cousin', and she always lives up to the trust of the old lady. ”

When the group arrived at the yamen, someone had already gone inside to make a complaint.

Long Keduo had just returned from Changchun Garden, because he was about to set off three days after the holy drive, and before that, the defense of the capital naturally had to be checked and implemented again.

When he heard that it was a third-grade official, he didn't take it to heart, and casually called a personal lieutenant and said, "Go out and have a look, and ask what's going on!" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier should go down, and before he left the house, there was a drum beat of "dong dong dong" outside.

This is the sound of "Wendeng Drum" at the door of the yamen, this is someone knocking!

Long Keduo was so shocked that he immediately got up from his seat, he was born in the capital, he grew up in the capital, and he was no stranger to knocking on the ball. The infantry army is all in charge of the Yamen, the Shuntianfu Yamen, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the "Wendeng Drum" in these three places sometimes rings several times a year, sometimes once in a few years, and the left and right have not been broken.

Not to mention beating the "Wenden Drum", even when the Holy Driver went out on patrol, there were many people who voiced grievances in front of the emperor.

It's just that in the past few years, every time I "knock", there is a wrestling with my brother behind it, which is really terrifying......*
