It is not easy to be a monk in the Tang Dynasty

After resting for a few days, Zhang Yang had memorized all the exercises and poses. The outside was calm and there was no sign of any major incidents.

Zhang Yang is a little strange. It is said that such a big thing happened, the court should have some actions, such as the city gate blockade, the population check, the transfer of the military department, etc., but thinking that he is just a small commoner now, he is a little self-deprecating. Even if there is any change, how can I help?

In the past few days, no one came to harass the two of them, Zhang Yang let go of his heart a little, and decided to take Lu Rui home.After all, the little girl has been missing for so long, the family members should be anxious and report that she is safe.

After hiring a carriage, Wannian County is not very far from Chang'an City, and it will take half a day to get there.They were not in a hurry, Zhang Yang deliberately asked the coachman to move forward slowly, not only because he could slowly enjoy the scenery on both sides, but also because of the roads of Datang.

Although the Tang Dynasty paid great attention to the construction of traffic roads, the roads were wide and flat, much better than the previous dynasties.However, every era has its limitations. There is no asphalt and cement here, and that kind of flat road cannot be built!

No matter how tightly the stone is paved and how solid the soil is, there will always be some small bumps. In the absence of springs to absorb the shock, a ride in a carriage can knock a person's bones apart. The reason is to pile up the bedding. If you don't do this, you can't bear the pain of riding in the car!

Ever since Zhang Yang rode in a carriage, he lamented that rich people in ancient times were not so easy to do, and he really couldn't enjoy this kind of blessing without a strong buttocks.

From then on, as long as it is not necessary, those who would rather walk with two feet than sit in a carriage that symbolizes status are not cheating, but cheating!

But now that Lu Rui is by my side, I can't let a woman walk with me. I can only slow down the speed of the car and put a thick cotton pad under my body so that I don't feel so sick.

Lurui is a little contemptuous of her ostentatious behavior, why are we not in a hurry and there is no need to be so fast!How beautiful the scenery on the road is, how wonderful it is to enjoy the scenery and cultivate your sentiment while driving!

Everything is an excuse!

Lurui said that she only saw a bare area, no green trees, no red flowers, no birds singing, butterflies were busy, horseshoes passed by, the road was dusty, and nothing was clear.Lu Rui pouted, glanced at the thick cushion under Zhang Yang, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Ignoring Lurui's expression, Zhang Yang is very calm, his face doesn't show at all, but he complains wildly inside, damn, this body is too bad, she is more delicate than other little girls, my brother's heroic image is completely ruined, it's too bad!

So I turned my head away and pretended to look at the scenery. The wind was blowing and it was very cold. It was still the first month of the lunar year, winter was still sticking to it, and spring hadn’t come yet. I retracted my head, sat cross-legged in Zhang Yang, closed my eyes, and meditated while chanting!As a monk, you must have this kind of professionalism and use all available time to study Buddhism.Everyone can see your hard work!

Started the road early in the morning, after noon, walked all the way through mountains and rivers, bumped for several hours, and finally saw the shadow of Wannian County.

Lu Rui's home is in Zhaojia Village, Wannian County. The teacher in the school taught the enlightenment courses for all the children in the village. Under his influence, Lurui could read a few words and read a few books.

At this time, it was not the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the precepts on women respecting women did not vigorously harm people's thoughts, and they did not think that women's lack of talent was virtue. In the Tang Dynasty, scholars were generally respected by people, whether they were men or women.

Therefore, people are also happy to communicate with Lurui's family. When they meet each other, they will chat a few gossips and talk about family matters.But today, Lurui returned to the village, but no one paid attention to her, as if she was a scourge, a plague, hurt when she saw it, and died when she touched it, but pointed at the two of them from a distance.

Lu Rui had a very bad premonition, her face turned pale, her footsteps were a little unsteady, and she ran towards her own direction.

Zhang Yang followed closely behind, this phenomenon is obviously abnormal, it is better to go to Lurui's house to find out the situation.

Lurui's home is not with the villagers, but in a relatively remote place, not far from the village school.At this time in the past, there would always be children playing and staying here, but now, it is very quiet.

Lu Rui was in a hurry to go home. Although she noticed all kinds of inconsistencies, she didn't think much about it.

"Father, mother, the child is back."

The courtyard door was ajar, Lurui pushed it open, and people shouted before they entered, but no one agreed, and often the scene of parents going out to greet each other did not happen, nor did the seven or eight-year-old younger brother. As usual, she jumped to her side and called her sister affectionately.

"Father, mother, little brother!"

Lu Rui yelled over and over again, but still no one responded, only the whistling wind.

"Maybe uncle and aunt have gone out, let's wait inside!"

"Um"

Lu Rui's voice was very low, and she didn't feel the joy of going home.

"Squeak!"

The old wooden door made the sound of a monster chewing its bones. It had a stale and decaying smell. Zhang Yang waved his hand in front of his nose to drive away the smell. There was a thin layer of dust on the table, as if it hadn’t been cleaned for a few days. .

Lurui's heart skipped a beat. Although her mother is a country girl, she loves cleanliness very much. Although there is no good furniture in the house, she always cleans up the floor and tables so that the floor is not stained.But now, this appearance is really abnormal.

My family is a native of Zhao village, and most of the relatives who travel live in nearby villages. There is really no reason not to return for a few days.

While Lu Rui was thinking, there were noisy voices outside the house, Zhang Yang and Lu Rui met their eyes, nodded, and went out!

At this time, many people had gathered outside the house, all from the same village, and Lu Rui knew all of these people. In front of them, a few yamen servants in official uniforms walked into the yard accompanied by Li Zheng.

"You are Mrs. Zhao's daughter?"

One of the black-faced yamen servants took a look at Zhang Yang, then turned his head and asked Lu Rui, Mr. Zhao only had one daughter, and it was obviously the young woman in front of him.

"Hurry up and return to the official post to send your lord's words!"

Zhao Lizheng looked at Lu Rui and didn't respond, so he quickly stepped forward and shouted at Lu Rui.

At this time, Li Zheng was equivalent to the village head of later generations, and he was still very powerful in this small village.However, he was just a farmer when he was overwhelmed by officials at the first level. When encountering officials, the people in the yamen had no choice but to help the younger ones and try their best to please them.

Lu Rui was a little dazed, something really happened! Otherwise, how could an ordinary peasant family attract the attention of the government?Thinking of this, Lu Rui's legs became weak and she couldn't stand upright.

As early as when he first entered the village, Zhang Yang had a bad premonition and a vague guess in his heart. Seeing the official messenger appearing now confirmed his premonition that the situation is very bad!

"Miss Lurui, your family members were killed by others a few days ago, that is, in the middle of the night after the Shangyuan Festival! Now we need to understand something, and please come to the Yamen with us!"

Killed by others!

Lu Rui's ears were like thunder, and the whole person stayed there!

Destroy the door!
