Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 409 Wandering Dragon Dance Royal Certificate (seeking monthly ticket)
When the carriage from Cao's mansion came, Dong E Jinghui and his master and servant were also accompanying him.Cao Zhong, the chief steward of the Cao residence, Cao Fang, Xiao Man, the second steward, and more than a dozen long-term attendants also followed on horseback.

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

Jueluo frowned and said, "Didn't Chun'er tell you to tell you to stay honest in Cao's mansion? Why did you come here again?"

Jing Hui said: "Wherever grandma goes, granddaughter will naturally follow her. Granddaughter must serve grandma!"

Jue Luoshi pushed away his granddaughter's arm, and said angrily, "Nonsense, who is a good girl to show her face in the court!" Speaking of this, he said to Cao Yong: "Master Cao, you and the princess are kind-hearted people. The granddaughter will be entrusted to the family for the time being!"

After speaking, the old man bowed solemnly to salute.

Cao Yong quickly evaded to one side and said: "Old lady, please don't be too polite, this is really out of the ordinary!"

Jing Hui waited to say more, but Jue Luoshi pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "Why, even you want to disobey grandma?"

Jinghui shook her head with tears in her eyes, and Jue Luo said to the maid Shen Nanny beside her: "You and Chun'er waited on the girl and greeted Princess Herui on behalf of the old man. Thank you personally!"

Although Shen Momo was also worried about Luo Shi, but she had served her for most of her life and knew that she had an uncompromising temperament, so she bowed her head and agreed.

Standing on the street like this, feeling that Luo Shi felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart, he turned around and said to Cao Yong: "Lord Cao, let's go now!"

Cao Yong agreed, and ordered Cao Zhong, the housekeeper, to find another car and escort Jinghui and their masters and servants back.He looked at Li Wei and Wang Mengxu next to him and said: "Brother Li is injured, if you don't think the house is shabby, please follow Mr. Wang to the house for a rest, and I will come back later."

Wang Mengxu saw that Li Wei was in such a mess and didn't know how his injury was, so he turned his head and asked him what he meant: "You Jie, look..."

Li Wei was already waving his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and said to Cao Yong: "Master Cao, don't call him that. You killed the students. You just call the students by their names! Li Wei is fine, and I came here today to express my gratitude. I didn't expect that But I encountered this kind of thing. Sir, let’s go and get busy, the students go back first, and come to the house to trouble you another day, please greet the adults.”

Because Jueluo is still waiting here, Cao Yong is not easy to delay.He nodded to Li Wei first, then hugged Wang Mengxu, and then asked Jue Luo to get in the car.

When Jue Luo got into the car, Gan who was kneeling beside him was already dumbfounded, with blood all over his head and face, speechless.

Cao Yong got on his horse and took a group of people to wait for the infantry commander Yamen on the other side of Chongwenmen.

Some spectators and helpers refused to disperse, so they all followed the carriage.

This carriage was used by Mrs. Li when he was in Beijing, and it was even spacious inside. Sitting in it, Jue Luo took off the string of rosary beads on his wrist and recited in a low voice: "Amitabha!"

"Disobedience"?Cao Yong was riding on horseback, thinking about the appearance of Gandu just now.What was it that made Luo Shi so disheartened?Could it be because of Jinghui's marriage again?

It's just that "disobedience and unfilial piety" is a heinous crime, and if the crime is really convicted, it will be executed.Even if Jue Luo was disappointed with his children and grandchildren, he wouldn't be cruel. He really wanted their lives, right?
No matter what, Cao Yong couldn't see the 70-year-old Jueluo family doing "looting" in the name of intercepting in the street.

After passing two main streets, when I was about to reach Chongwenmen, I saw a lot of people rushing around in front of me.Both Wei Hei and Zheng Hu were on guard, Cao Yong raised his head to look at the scene, it was just noon, and the sun was high, could it be that Gali is going to have another "robbing" farce?
The leader was bare-headed, didn't wear a hat, and was wearing a brand-new royal blue robe. It was Kari who got the news and walked around to stop him.

A dozen or so long followers followed behind Yin Gali, blocking the road, so Cao Yong and his party had to rein in their horses.

Kari ordered everyone behind him to stand still, and he took two steps forward alone, knelt down on the ground, walked to the carriage, and cried with snot and tears: "Er Niang, Er Niang, my son knows it's wrong! It's fine for mother to beat her son or scold her son, don't let your anger break your body!"

When Jueluo heard what Gali said, his lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.

Gali kowtowed and cried, "It's my son who is unfilial and disobedient. My son already regrets it, so I don't dare to do it again! Er Niang, because of the 60 years of love between our mother and son, please forgive your son." Let’s face it! My son has been naughty since he was a child, and it was Er Niang who taught him to read and write... When the son became an official, it was Er Niang who taught him all day long... Er Niang... Er Niang, my son was blinded by lard, and my son I know I was wrong..." At the end, she was already crying.

Sitting on horseback, Cao Yong looked at the farce and wondered in his heart, is this old lady going to get serious?
Amidst Gali's wailing, Jueluo lifted the carriage curtain, but there was neither sadness nor joy on his face.Looking at Kari who was kneeling beside the carriage, the old man said solemnly, "Old man, let me ask you, where did the mushrooms come from, and whose hands did they go through?"

Gali was startled when he heard the words, but he didn't respond immediately.

Jueluo Shi saw that the robe he was wearing was sewed by her own hands on the occasion of Gali's fiftieth birthday a few years ago.Thinking of the more than [-] years of mother-child love, the old man felt very painful, leaning on the door frame of the carriage, and said sharply: "Tell me, where did those poisonous mushrooms come from, and whose idea was it to poison the old man?"

This matter, however, was not really caused by Kari.He only knew something was wrong after hearing his wife's report after Jue Luo's leaving the mansion.The matter was instigated by his younger brother Seleqi, and his son did everything.

He has only one biological son, Gandu, who usually pinches his eyes and despises him, and when he sees him all day long, he will scold him.Even so, it was also his own son. Seeing how angry his aunt was, Ga Li sighed inwardly, kowtowed and said, "Er Niang... Er Niang... the son is confused..."

When Jue Luo heard the words, he only felt colic in his heart.She thought it was her daughter-in-law or the second son who acted recklessly in private, but she never thought that the eldest son whom she had tried her best to raise could treat her like this.

Jue Luo's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "You are like this... You are like this, could it be that you believed what others said, thinking that Er Niang ruined your future?"

Gali felt dissatisfied at the end, raised his head and said, "Could it be that the son can't even be annoyed by what Er Niang did? Whose parents are not compassionate, but Er Niang's compassion is too much. I am sorry to the Bodhisattva, Are you worthy of the common people, are you worthy of your children and grandchildren?"

He spoke louder and louder, and in the end he was already full of questioning tone.

Jue Luo looked straight at Kari, and murmured: "Now, don't you know where your mistakes are?"

Because this side is close to the yamen of the capital of the infantry, there are already officers and soldiers patrolling the street coming here.

Gali watched, worried, and didn't hear Jueluo's question clearly, so he said to himself: "Er Niang, my son has been filial for nearly 60 years, can't this sin be completely erased? Er Niang, Er Niang is the most merciful, isn't she? There is also that saying, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately", so Er Niang would bear the heart of her children and grandchildren to die? Er Niang, the family ugliness should not be publicized, let's go to our house, you can beat or scold if you want, just ask Zeng Shou to make the decision. It is good for the son to be punished!"

The Zeng Shou mentioned in his mouth is the head of the Dong E family, who inherited the title of Duke left by his ancestors.In terms of seniority, he is Kari's cousin.

Jue Luoshi held the Buddhist beads in his hand vigorously, looked up and saw Seleqi and Gantai among the people brought by Gali, both father and son had ugly faces.

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

After coming here for a long time, I heard Jue Luo Shi said in the sedan chair: "Make way!"

Gali's face turned pale, and he was already squatting on the ground.The coachman looked at the people in front of him, he was a little unsure about paying attention, he glanced at Cao Yong, and asked: "Master..."

Although Gali was 60 or [-] years old, crying like this was really embarrassing, but Cao Yong didn't feel any sympathy in his heart.

"Poisonous mushrooms" and "poisonous killing" heard these words, and Cao Yong could already understand why the old lady was so sad and angry.Therefore, he signaled the coachman to set off.

As the saying goes, "Filial piety is the first, and all evil is the first." To be able to "kill one's mother" is really a heinous crime.

The people from the left and right patrol camps are about to go this way, no matter how courageous Ga Li is, he would not dare to commit murder near the Yamen of the infantry commander.

Seeing that the carriage was about to move, Gali was relieved, stepped forward and pulled the rein, knelt down and begged, "Emiang..."

Through the curtain, Jue Luo said in a deep voice: "Don't act like this, have you forgotten that you are the descendant of Lord Wen Shun? Dong E's family only has heroes who died in battle, and there are no descendants who died on their knees. You have to leave something decent. .”

The two have been mother and son for most of their lives. Who else knows Jue Luo's stubborn temper better than Ga Li?

Seeing that the begging was hopeless, his expression was a little dazed. When he heard Jueluo mention "sons and grandchildren", he thought of Gandu and Gantai brothers. This heinous crime of disobedience was all committed by the son alone..." After finishing speaking, he put down the rein in his hand, took two steps back and knelt down with a blank expression, and fell silent.

Jue Luo understood what he meant, and couldn't stop crying.

Seeing these people gathered on the road here, the patrol camp has already come to ask.

These soldiers are often in the four or nine cities, and their eyes are the sharpest. Seeing that Cao Yong is an official, and the carriage is super-grade, they asked very respectfully: "My lord, what is this..."

Although some people also saw Kari who could not stand up to the ground, but who would take it seriously.

Cao Yong rode on the horse and said to the leading military academy: "I have something to go to the yamen of the capital of the infantry. Dare I ask if this gentleman came out of the yamen? Is Lord Long here?"

Today's chief officer of the infantry commanding Yamen is Longkodo, so Cao Yong asked.

The little school replied: "Before I left the camp just now, I just saw Long Junmen coming back from outside!"

Cao Yong nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then my lord is busy, I will go ahead!"

Hearing the words, the small school took the soldiers back to one side and made way for Cao Yong and others.

No matter how unhappy Seleqi and Gantai were, they didn't dare to intercept the court ordering officer in front of the patrolling camp, so they could only avoid it sadly.

After a while, Cao Yong and his party arrived outside the Yamen of the infantry commander.

Jueluo got out of the carriage and looked at the Yamen with a bit of sadness on his face.Cao Yong had already dismounted from his horse. Seeing that Luo Shi was like this, he couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Madam, please take care, not for others, but also for granddaughter!"

Jue Luo turned his head, with a look of guilt on his face, and said: "I have lived for nearly 80 years, and I have never owed anyone, but today I have troubled Mr. Cao again and again. I am really ashamed. Until now, The old man came into this yamen, and for the sake of his poor granddaughter, he once again had the audacity to trust him!"

Cao Yong said: "Old lady, don't worry, the younger generation's daughter-in-law is also talking about Jinghui girl these days. Speaking of which, the younger generation still treats her as a 'cousin', after all, it will live up to the old lady's trust."

When this group of people arrived at the gate of the yamen, someone had already reported inside.

Longkodo just came back from Changchun Garden, because the holy car will leave in three days, and the defense of the capital will naturally have to check and implement it before that.

Hearing that it was a third-rank official, he didn't take it seriously, he called a soldier and said, "Go out and have a look, and ask what's going on!"

The soldier should go down, but before he left the house, there was a "dong dong dong dong" drum sound outside.

This is the sound of the "Wendeng Drum" at the gate of the Yamen. This is someone knocking on the door!

Long Kedo got up from his seat immediately in shock. He was born and grew up in the capital, and he is no stranger to kowtowing.In the Infantry Dutong Yamen, Shuntianfu Yamen, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the "Wendeng Drum" in these three places sometimes rang several times a year, sometimes once every few years, and it never stopped.

Not to mention beating the "Wendeng Drum", even when Sheng Jia was on tour, there were many people who complained before the emperor.

However, in the past few years, every time I "kowtow", there is a brother wrestling behind it, which is really frightening...
