Chapter 606 Ruthless

A large group of people including guards, honor guards and local officials had previously walked dozens of miles of water from Yugan County before they arrived at this Dayuanba Village.

After some trouble, it was almost late.

So everyone had to rest for a night.

The officials requisitioned a lot of houses, and fortunately the guards brought military tents, so a group of people barely stationed in this small village with nothing.

Qianrui and Du's mother lived in their own home.The yellow dog arranged many eunuchs and soldiers to take turns to guard outside. The mother and daughter lived in a dilapidated house, and several young palace maids were waiting for their daily life.

After nightfall, the bedroom was covered with dark brown dirt under the oil lamp, and there was dirt that was smoked and dust turned into in the humid air.

There are even black things hanging on the roof, which are called Yangchen, which are the remaining spider webs smoked with wood ash.

Qian Rui had accidentally heard the palace maid's quietly complaining.

Du's mother said something useless, saying that Qianrui's clothes were very expensive and would be damaged, so she asked her to change the old linen clothes in the cabinet before sleeping.

Qian Rui took the initiative to ask her mother (mother) how she lived through these years.

Sure enough, when my mother said that after her father became a murderer, she not only had difficulty making a living without food and clothing, but she was also often bullied. She was poked on her back and chewed on her back when she went out, and for a while she didn't even dare to go out.

No wonder Mom is so numb now!My mother is not confused. How can people survive if they are not numb in such an environment?

Everything is like a dream.

Qianrui remembers a sentence Zhu Gaoxu said: A person should live a slightly better life, usually relying on his own ability; if he wants to become a superior, he must have luck.

Isn’t it the same for the Du family’s earth-shaking dream?

The reason why the family became like this was purely because Qianrui's father was not doing his job properly; but Qianrui returned to her hometown and had the current show, it was not determined by how much ability she had.

In his sleep, Qianrui really had a dream.

She dreamed that she was washing clothes by the pond, as if she was not old, because she often washed clothes by the pond before she was sold.

Then she accidentally fell into the water!

She was panicked and tried hard to run towards the water, but for some reason, she was actually tied to a big stone!

Qianrui felt her body sinking, and the pond was so deep that it could not fall to the bottom.

She felt that the water was cold and dark. She felt suffocated and panicked to the extreme, and tried her best to pull the rope with the stone tied to her body.

At this moment, what Qian Rui hated the most was the heavy stones on her body. If she had no stones to drag her down, she could save herself!

Finally untied the rope, Qianrui kicked off the stone without hesitation and swam up.

Although she was still in the water, she suddenly felt relaxed at this moment, and a feeling of comfort came to her heart early...

The next morning, after Qianrui got up, she remembered the dream last night.There were some details she couldn't remember, and the things in her dreams quickly became blurred, but her feelings were very clear at that time.

The palace maids served the mother and daughter to dress up sparsely.Qianrui sat there in a daze, thinking of that dream, she felt a little touched.

She suddenly felt that her heart was very cruel!

Many times she acts weak and kind, but she can do something.

When Zhu Gaoxu came to pick her up, she left her messy home and her mother without hesitation. She hadn't asked about her family for so many years.

This time she discovered that her father was wrongly sentenced to death; she knew very well that it was indeed a wrongful act.

But she didn't hate the county magistrate at all, and she didn't feel sad... Qian Rui couldn't feel sad after selling her biological father twice.

Of course, she was heartbroken when she was outside, after all, she had to let so many people see her filial piety.However, none of her tears shed for her father, it was entirely because of her mother.

Last night, the eunuch Huang Gou sent someone to prepare mourning clothes. In the morning, Qianrui wore mourning clothes and took a large group of people to the mountains to worship her father.

She knelt in front of a simple mound covered with weeds. She couldn't feel sad, so she had to try hard to think about her hard life. Last night, her mother's trembling hands were holding a bowl of white rice, and she suddenly felt sad.

Kneeling in front of the grave and crying like a tearful person.

Wow... Suddenly I burst into tears.Qian Rui looked sideways and found that it was the magistrate wearing a green robe.The magistrate cried even harder than her, and while bowing his head and making his feet, Ordovician cried loudly!

The rest of the officials were also sighing sadly nearby, and some even pretended to use the sleeves to gently wipe their dry eyes.

Of course, the saddest person is the magistrate, who is like his own father who died.But Qianrui felt that his sadness was real, after all, the career of the government seemed to be over!

Qian Rui knew that she was wrong in thinking this way, but she couldn't deceive herself: Not only did she not hate the county magistrate, but she sympathized with him at this time.

Because of a moment of sympathy, Qian Rui suddenly thought: If she asked the county magistrate to exonerate and asked the officials of the Censorate Department to investigate and deal with the prison guard who was tortured and forced confession, could this matter be settled better?

In doing so, Du Qianrui will definitely gain a good reputation in Jiangxi Shilin; if the officials are tolerant, they will of course say good things to Du Qianrui!

But Du Qianrui thought about it and shook her head gently, feeling that she would be more careful in her words and actions, so as not to be caught in the hands of interfering in politics.

She sacrificed her father and stood up, with tears on her face and said: Dear officials, don’t punish the person involved severely for me.The matter should be handled fairly in accordance with the "Da Ming Law" and in accordance with the national laws of the court.But my father was indeed wronged. I am his daughter. I know that he is a person and will definitely not kill anyone.

An official hurriedly bowed and said: Mrs. Du is wise and conscious, and the officials admire him very much.The officials hurriedly agreed.

Du Qianrui said again: The emperor has an imperial edict to come down and ask us to return to Beijing to meet as soon as possible; I dare not delay, so I will set off today.This trip was due to my personal indulgence in the official affairs of the various yamen. After I returned to the capital, I apologized to the emperor.

The inspector's official hurriedly said: Madam, just rest assured, the lower officials must investigate the matter strictly, give a statement to the wife and give the Du family a clean innocence.The wife was frugal and loving the people in this trip. The subordinate officials decided to submit memorials, which was acclaimed to the wife's knowledgeable and reasonableness and filial piety in the deeds of each village.

After hearing this, Du Qianrui also sensible and said softly: You are working hard, I will speak to the emperor.

She then said to her mother who was standing next to her: Mom and I will come to Beijing and let my brother-in-law be filial.We can't delay the time this time when we ask our brother to take care of our father's grave.

She actually said it to the people around her, and it was also for the sake of filial piety.Because Qianrui knew her mother, she was so resentful to her father and didn't necessarily care whether to repair the grave or not.

When everyone returned to the village from the mountains, the eunuch Huang Gou reported: Some people claimed to be relatives of their wives and wanted to see their wives.

Du Qianrui frowned slightly. Thinking of what my mother said last night that everyone poked her backbone, she said quietly: We are going to rush into Beijing, the warship is already waiting in the Poyang Lake case; we cannot delay at this time.You go and send them away.

The yellow dog clasped his fists and said: I obey the order.

……

Recently, a large group of people from several places have been rushing to the capital.In addition to the Shen family and Xu family in Yunnan, the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Office also had a large number of troops traveling eastward.

Mu Sheng and Weida received the imperial edict sent to Sichuan by the fast horse and set off for Beijing immediately; Sichuan's military affairs were handed over to Li Rang, the commander-in-chief.

However, Sichuan now has no urgent military affairs; the puppet dynasty official troops in the north and east have been successively obeyed the imperial edicts, and it is impossible to attack Sichuan again.

The Mu family, along with Veda and others, took the guards and transferred many official ships in the Sichuan Provincial Administration and Commissioner's Office; then they walked into the river and went down the river to the east to Sichuan.

At this time, their fleet had just arrived at the boundary of Jingzhou Prefecture.

During the Battle of Crime, Jingzhou had tens of thousands of troops, both in the navy and land.

However, after Zhang Fu led the main force of the navy to surrender, the naval warships in Jingzhou were subsequently cleared out; some of the ship owners fled, while some surrendered to the Crime Army.

But the Lu Shi stationed in Jingzhou Prefecture City ignored it at first; it was not until Zhu Gaoxu's edict of ascension to the throne was sent to Jingzhou Prefecture that they obeyed the new emperor's edict.

The fleet of people from Sichuan was traveling through Jingzhou. Veda took a team of people ashore and said he wanted to go to Jingzhou City to do something.Mu Sheng advised him a few words, but Veda refused to listen and still went into the city.

The emperor had been changed, and the prefect and garrison in Jingzhou City did not have any hostile attitude; after they received the official documents, a group of people came to greet Veda.

People all know that Veda was one of the three guard commanders of the Han Palace and did not dare to neglect!

The prefect said that he had prepared a reception banquet to fulfill his friendship with the landlord.

But Veda had no interest in this. He asked clearly where a general named Li Jiaming was, so he took his men to the camp and met this man who was originally a general of the Han Wang Army.

Li Jiaming was the general of the Han Wang Army who opened the city gate for a reward of 200 jin when the puppet dynasty official army attacked Kuizhou!

Other brothers from the Li family were all on the side of the puppet dynasty's official army. Li Jiaming made contributions and received the money and defected to the Jingzhou army.

Veda didn't know this person before, and there was not much to say when he met. Veda just said coldly: It's really cheap to buy a vital city or a duke.

Li Jiaming already understood what was going on and was so scared that he knelt down to beg for mercy.

Veda sneered again: But you can't get it well. You can't do anything and be able to be a good thing if you don't do anything, but you don't want it, and you have to rush to die! Then I can't blame me!

Veda pulled out his waist knife and stabbed Li Jiaming to death in public!

The surrendered officials of the puppet dynasty were all fine.But this traitor from the Crime Army must die!He also captured his brother and escorted back to Beijing, and asked the Governor's Office of the Crime Army to be punished with military law!Veda confessed to the magistrate.

The prefect had no choice but to bow and agree.
