Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 82

The room was lit with dim soybean oil lamps, and everyone was asleep.

With his back to the door, Lu Wei's gaze fell on Zhang Yuqing's loose skirt, his expression hidden in the darkness.

After a long time, Lu Wei slowly stretched out his hand, and gently closed Zhang Yuqing's loose skirt to block the beautiful spring light, then silently picked up the quilt, and gently covered Zhang Yuqing.

It was windy and rainy outside, and the temperature was cool, but after Lu Wei came out of Zhang Yuqing's room, he walked to the well in the courtyard without saying a word, picked up a bucket of cold water, and poured it down from the head.

Early the next morning, the rain had stopped, and the guards living in the front yard complained to the clerk one after another, saying that the house was leaking.

Lu Weizheng was worried that he couldn't explain why he, who was supposed to live in the main house with Zhang Yuqing, knew that the west wing room was leaking, so he took the opportunity to say: "It rained last night, I went to check some rooms in the backyard, and there was also a leak in one room."

Fang Qin glanced at his master, and gave a half-hearted smile.

The clerk was old and gray-haired, and said worryingly: "It's not that I treat you nobles poorly, but I really don't have the money to repair it! The higher-ups haven't allocated money for four or five years! I really can't do anything about it!"

"How did the former capital live?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

The clerk said: "The adult in front rented another house outside and never lived here."

Lu Wei frowned, Du Si is a fourth-rank official, and the person with the highest status in Baochuan, and the Du Si mansion has no money to repair it, what will the army look like?
Some of the guards didn't believe the old man's words, and asked, "Could it be that you have been asked to use the money allocated by the superior? The Dusi mansion is so dilapidated that there is no money to repair it, who would believe it!"

The clerk was in a hurry, and swore to Lu Wei that if he took an extra penny from the official's house, he would die badly. I haven’t been paid for three months! I drink porridge every day! The horses are too hungry to run! If you don’t believe me, just go to the barracks and ask.”

Lu Wei nodded, "Go down!"

Fang Mo was startled, "My lord, what should I do!"

If you don't get paid as a soldier, how can you live on?If the arrears continue, any contradiction will cause the soldiers to mutiny. At that time, the coach Lu Wei will either be killed by angry soldiers or be beheaded by the emperor.

Lu Wei made a decisive decision and divided the nearly twenty guards into ten, leaving He Qi to protect Zhang Yuqing. He took Fang Mo, Fang Qin and the rest of the guards to the barracks.

The clerk stood at the gate of the Dusi mansion, seeing Lu Wei and the others leading the horses to leave, he said quickly: "My lord, it's your first day of office today, won't you go to Liangzhou City to meet with the master?"

Lu Wei got on his horse and said briefly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." With his legs clamped in the belly of the horse, a group of horses galloped and disappeared into the distance.

Zhang Yuqing and Wang Chunniang packed their luggage in the house, went to the street to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt, and asked the clerk to find someone to bring over tiles and straw.

The stove has not been used for many years, and the ashes have been caked on the stove. Ten guards, He Qi and two women worked all day. From morning to night, all of them were covered with black ashes. Finally, the roof was repaired. Once again, all the places are scrubbed and cleaned so that they can live in.

In the afternoon, Wang Chunniang cooked a meal, and everyone had eaten, but Lu Wei and the others had not yet returned.

Wang Chunniang suggested that Zhang Yuqing go to deliver food to Lu Wei.

"The barracks is an important place, how can I go in as an outsider! Besides, the barracks has a kitchen, and no one can be so hungry that he is the Lord Si!" Zhang Yuqing immediately refused. She had been busy all day, and now she just wanted to lie down, and she didn't want to send it to Lu Wei. meal.

Wang Chunniang hated that iron could not be made into steel, "Are you stupid? If you go to deliver food, the point is the food? The point is to let Mr. Lu see your heart for him!"

Zhang Yuqing sneered, what does she care about Lu Wei?She hopes that Lu Wei will ascend to heaven as soon as possible, and that she will be promoted to the status of a widow, so that she won't be afraid to see Lu Wei and Zhang Yuying hugging each other a few years later!

Wang Chunniang tapped Zhang Yuqing's forehead vigorously, and scolded: "You are already married to Mr. Lu, and you keep him out of the door every day. Which daughter-in-law is like you? You still treat him with a nose that is not a nose, and eyes that are not eyes." ! So Master Lu is a good person, so I put up with your bad temper! Try another man!"

Zhang Yuqing staggered and said angrily: "Do you understand what I said? In fact, he pretends to be Zhang Yuying in his heart, and he was forced to marry me. Now I stay away from him, he can't wait!"

Wang Chunniang, who has been struggling for food and clothing for the past 20 years, said she couldn't understand. Isn't a man and a woman together just to have children and live a life?As for who is in your heart, does it matter?Thinking about this every day is obviously boring and full!

"Isn't that what happened in the past? Now he and you are husband and wife!" Wang Chunniang said, "He likes Miss Yuying like that, so you should learn more from Miss Yuying and read a few lines of poetry if you have nothing to do. Draw a picture, speak softly and pitifully, men will eat this! Don't be like a tigress all day long!"

With a painful expression on Zhang Yuqing's face, she picked up the food box prepared by Wang Chunniang and hurriedly escaped.

Wang Chunniang's voice came from the room, "In two years, you and your children will be in groups, and he will only care about you and the children in his heart. He has long forgotten who Zhang Yuying is!"

"Then you marry He Qi first! Wait two years for you two to have children, and then teach me a lesson!" Zhang Yuqing left a sentence, and called the guards to take her to the barracks.

Sitting in the carriage to the military camp, Zhang Yuqing held her chin and snorted coldly, asking her to learn Zhang Yuying's green tea?What a joke!
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
The military camp was not far from the Dusi Mansion. When the carriage arrived, the guard driving the carriage said a few words to the soldiers guarding the gate. A soldier ran to the camp. After a while, Fang Mo came running over and led the carriage to Lu Wei There.

When they were about to arrive at Dusi's tent, Zhang Yuqing watched a group of officers in armor come out of the tent, each with angry expressions and noisy.

Zhang Yuqing hid in the carriage, and did not get out of the carriage until they were far away.

Lu Wei was sitting in front of the case, flipping through official documents, frowning so much that he could kill a group of flies, and was telling Fang Qin that he should eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers, and he would eat whatever the soldiers ate. Prepare meals.

At this moment, Zhang Yuqing lifted the curtain of the tent with the food box in her hand. Hearing this, she stood there, wondering whether she should go in or not.

Fang Mo smiled heartlessly behind Zhang Yuqing and said, "My lord, Madam is here to bring you food!"

Lu Wei hurriedly got up and took the food box in Zhang Yuqing's hand. Seeing Zhang Yuqing's embarrassed expression, he said naturally, "Thank you for your hard work, I just happened to be hungry."

Fang Qin's face was numb, and he gave another half-smile.

Zhang Yuqing made up her mind, just this time, she will never deliver food to Lu Wei again!
When Lu Wei was eating, Zhang Yuqing asked, "There are quite a lot of people at the door, what's going on?"

Lu Wei handed Zhang Yuqing the document he was reading just now.

The document seems to have just been written, and the ink is still wet.

Zhang Yuqing read the ten lines at a glance, and silently put down the documents. The case was very simple. The army wanted to expand the racecourse, and there were family members whose houses happened to be near the racecourse. money compensation.

The eldest son of the family went to the officer to argue, was severely injured, and died the same night when he was brought home.

The second son of the family was so angry that he ambush the officer on his way home, pretending to be a watermelon vendor, sent the officer to heaven with a few knives, and was then arrested and sent to the barracks, where he was punished for his crime.

Zhang Yuqing sighed. Compensation must be given for occupying common people's land, but if everything is compensated in place, how can the officials in the military camp make money?

Not to mention it hasn't been paid for three months, and those officials are not ruthlessly scraping the common people!

"Is this just reviewed today, or was it reviewed before and copied again?" Zhang Yuqing shook the few pages in his hand.

Fang Qin said: "The previous file only stated that this person assassinated the officer, and did not specify anything else. Today, your lord mentioned the criminal for retrial."

"It should be so. There are causes and effects." Zhang Yuqing nodded and said.

Lu Wei smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Even if you are guilty, you will not die. If you can get a light sentence, that would be great. Previously, the people who tried the case did not ask the reason, but only considered the result to give the prisoner a heavy sentence. It is really inappropriate." Zhang Yuqing said.

Fang Qin said: "But the other officials in the barracks didn't think so. Just now, those people argued with the young master, saying that killing people is a fact, and no matter how many reasons they can't kill people! From the very beginning, they should sue the officials instead of killing people with hatred. If everyone is like him, killing people when they encounter disputes, wouldn't the world be in chaos! If you don't get a heavy sentence, how can you set an example to others?"

"Sue the official?" Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "Is it useful to sue the official? Doesn't he know that he can't escape the death penalty if he kills him? Doesn't it mean that justice has no place to appeal?"

How can a farmer who has only used a hoe to kill people with a knife if he is not driven to a dead end?
Fang Mo hurriedly said: "Madam is right, those officials who are officials protect each other, even if they go to sue, there will be no results!"

Fang Qin smiled, "Now is not the time to argue about fairness and justice!"

Looking at Fang Qin's smile, Zhang Yuqing felt extremely uncomfortable, as if Fang Qin was laughing at her innocence and ignorance, with contempt and contempt hidden under her kind smile.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first." Zhang Yuqing lowered her eyes, stood up and said.

This is a matter in the officialdom, and Lu Wei may not be willing to see her, a fake wife who is forced to marry, open her mouth to speak.

Fang Qin knew that Zhang Yuqing was annoyed by the words just now, and immediately said: "My lady doesn't know something, the young master has just arrived, if you forcibly intervene, overturn the original trial result, and sing against the old gangsters who have been entrenched in Baochuan for many years, I'm afraid It is not good for the son's future."

"Let's go back together." Lu Wei got up and said to Zhang Yuqing, then looked at Fang Qin and shook his head, and said coldly: "Although your concerns are reasonable, I'm testing them by asking their opinions, but why aren't they testing me? "

Fang Qin lowered his head embarrassingly.

Lu Wei put his hands behind his back, "This case is the first official business I have come to Baochuan to handle. If I listen to their orders and control, won't I have to listen to them in everything in the future?"

　Sweetheart Theater

　　Lu Wei: My wife can see but not touch. My marriage seems to be married, but it seems not.

　　Ye Yu: Does your wife want to be a widow?

　　Yesterday's chapter was actually banned, Ye Yu felt that what he had written was very clean!In order to apply for the lifting of the ban, I can only change it, and it will not have the original flavor.

　　Many parents commented on why the heroine couldn't confess her past to the hero.The male protagonist is an official of the imperial court, a relative of the emperor, and the female protagonist's adoptive father is a wanted criminal, and her adopted brother is a fallen robber who openly raised the flag of rebellion, a wanted criminal, and the kind who punishes the nine clans.The relationship between the official and the bandit is naturally antagonistic, and the relationship between the heroine and the hero has not yet reached the point where it can be trusted.As explained earlier, the heroine was very afraid of being exposed, so she was arrested and tied to the front of the battle to threaten her adoptive brother to surrender, so she must keep it a secret.To use an inappropriate analogy, if in the ten years of the last century, the heroine married a soldier and had not yet established trust, and her father and brother both ran away to Baodao, would she dare to say it?

　　It is true that the heroine has an awkward personality, but Ye Yu thinks it is reasonable to conceal her background.
