Chapter 38 The imperial decree of eight hundred miles
Those people shivered when they saw the man's miserable condition.
"Don't say yes? Then I can only find one more person to come out!" Lu Xiaoyun curled his lips slightly, "Let me see, who will become the second lucky person?"
"You're not beating anyone, you're beating an animal." Someone in the crowd was frightened and immediately shouted out, "I didn't see anything."
Someone raised his head, and the people behind him did not hesitate.
"Miss Lu, you didn't hit anyone."
"Beasts should be beaten, and you are not wrong."
"The official didn't say anything, which proves you are right."
…
"Did you hear that?" Lu Xiaoyun stared at the man with a half-smile, "They asked me to beat you. They all said you were a beast!"
The man was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Lu Xiaoyun, I know I was wrong, just treat me like a fart and let it go. I was too scared yesterday so I spoke indiscriminately. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
Yeah, please let me go."
Lu Xiaoyun looked at this man named Xu, who was originally a small official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Relying on his small power in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he allowed his family to occupy many people's farmland. Later, he was exposed because of the Su family's corruption.
A scapegoat.
Lu Xiaoyun stared at him, "Yesterday we were fighting hard to kill the enemy. What did you do? Oh, you kept arranging things and made trouble, and you also spread rumors that we collaborated with the enemy and treason. Mr. Xu, if you start spreading rumors, if it spreads to the capital,
Even if we break our legs, we still can't explain it clearly.
"Do you think I'll let you go now that you admit your mistake? My father has always been upright, and a useless snack like you is worthy of smearing him? You're not even worthy of carrying his shoes. Now that we are all exiled, do you think you are still the one holding the hand?
A powerful official from the capital?
"The court needs more people like you. It's really a country without generals. How many loyal ministers and good generals have been killed by useless things like you. Why can't you do it? The first one is spreading rumors and making monsters. You know that I am a petty person.
Yes, whoever wants to be killed will not have a good death!"
Xu Rong kowtowed and slapped himself in the face, "I made a mistake and slapped my mouth, please let me go once..."
"Let you go?" Lu Xiaoyun smiled.
Xu Rong's wife also knelt down and begged, "Miss Lu, please let my husband go. He really knows he is wrong. I will keep an eye on him in the future to prevent him from talking nonsense."
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at her and said, "This man has treated you badly before, and now he's even worse. You still want to plead for him?"
"No matter what, he is my man, and a family cannot be supported by a man. Miss Lu, I beg you to let him go." Xu Rong's wife is the kind of stay-at-home woman who regards her husband as her top priority all her life, even if Xu Rong
No matter how bad Rong treats her, she will never leave Xu Rong.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't want to embarrass a woman, so she said to Xu Rong's daughter-in-law: "You beg for mercy for him today. If you beg for mercy from him in the future, you may not have the result like today."
Lu Xiaoyun saw Xu Rong beating his wife more than once, but his wife obeyed and remained silent. She was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
"Everything is my own choice. Please let Miss Lu let him go. He will definitely change."
"Okay, just don't regret it."
For the sake of Lu Xiaoyun, who is also a woman, the matter ends here.
"However, next time, I don't care who you are, you have to break the dog's legs. In the worst case, I will help you fix it. Anyway, you can avoid the death penalty, but you will never escape the crime of living!" Lu Xiaoyun warned these people coldly.
Everyone's heads were lowered, and no one dared to look at Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun snorted coldly and returned to the Lu family.
Mrs. Lu touched Lu Xiaoyun's hand, "Yunyun, are you not injured?"
"I'm fine. People from the Western Regions can't hurt me. Isn't there a saying that like father, like daughter? My father is so powerful, I definitely can't embarrass him." Lu Xiaoyun's eyebrows curved, "Grandma, you have to believe me.
"
"Then how is your elder brother? I think I heard he was seriously injured?" Mrs. Lu was worried.
"As long as I'm here, brother will be fine. He'll be full of energy in a few days."
"Good boy."
Mrs. Lu's heart was finally relieved.
After breakfast, the team continued their journey.
The people of Shiyuan Town kept them here one after another, hoping that they could stay for a longer period of time.
"Master, just do it, okay? They are all good people. No matter how great their sin is, can't they make up for it by killing people from the Western Regions?"
"Seeing that there is another snowstorm, it's better to wait until the snowstorm passes before leaving, otherwise it will be dangerous to go on the road."
"Didn't you say that there is such a thing as the Ten Thousand People Umbrella? Several of our towns were saved by you. Let's make a Ten Thousand People Umbrella and send it to the capital so that the emperor can be given a lighter sentence."
…
The people in the northwest are very simple people, and they think that if the Lu and Yang families save people, the emperor can take back his life.
But the emperor was already suspicious, not to mention that the Wanmin Umbrella was given to the outgoing local magistrate by the common people, and Yang Hong was once the guard of the northwest. If the common people really wanted to do this, the Lu and Yang families would die faster.
Lu Yuanming looked at the people who had come to see him off, and said with cupped hands: "Everyone, please go back. You are being plundered by the people from the Western Regions. What you have to do now is to build your house and comfort your frightened relatives. If you remember that we have helped people in Shiyuan Town
For this love, please don’t do anything and live your life well is the best thing.”
Yang Hong also took up the conversation, "What I hate the most in my life are the bastards from the Western Regions. I can't tolerate them running into our Wei Dynasty and doing whatever they want. After being hit hard like this, the Western Regions people won't dare to harass them again in a short time."
You all, just enjoy the New Year with peace of mind! People cannot be resurrected after death, but those who are alive should continue to live well."
The people were all red-eyed.
If Lu Xiaoyun and the others hadn't arrived in time, everyone in the town would have been massacred by the people from the Western Regions.
The people really couldn't bear to leave them, because they felt safe with them around.
"Everyone, the emperor's order is difficult. When I return to Beijing, I will report all the matters." The escort captain said to the people, "The emperor will definitely make a decision."
When the official came forward, the people did not dare to say anything.
It is their unanimous consensus that the people will not fight with the government.
In the farewell of the people, the exile team set off again on the road to the frontier fortress.
The official servants had to rush to make the transfer to the place of exile, so they couldn't waste time. As for the matter of the people from the Western Regions, the captain left two official servants to deal with it with the local officials.
Yang Hong and Lu Huaiyuan were actually seriously injured.
The captain asked the two of them to ride on the grain truck to prevent their injuries from aggravating the journey.
Three days after they left Shiyuan Town, and still two days away from the frontier fortress, an imperial edict was rushed from the capital eight hundred miles to Shiyuan Town.
The eunuch who announced the decree killed several horses and was ambushed along the way. When he arrived at Shiyuan Town, he was almost alive.
Hearing that the exile team had left three days ago, the eunuch who announced the decree stamped his feet and could only continue to chase after them.
