I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 181 The important thing is not the evidence

"The granaries for disaster relief in various places were burned down, and some thieves in Bowangpo set fire to the mountain and attacked Wei Gong's convoy. Why is it wrong for my husband to send troops overnight to capture the culprits?"

After waking up from the shock, Mrs. Wang immediately regained her usual shrewdness and spoke more and more smoothly.

"Confused, where is the thief, it is clearly Duke Wei——you mean..."

Before Lu Zong finished speaking, he woke up, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at his daughter-in-law with some doubts.

"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. My husband leads the army all year round. How can he know the high officials of the court, let alone the minister of the imperial court? My husband is cautious by nature and loyal to state affairs. How can a thief believe what he says and catch people?" Naturally, it should be closely guarded..."

At this moment, Mrs. Wang saw that after her son Yu'er took the medicine, her complexion gradually became rosy, and her breathing became smoother. Suddenly, a stone fell to the ground in her heart. She only felt that her thoughts became clearer, and she stood up unconsciously. , talking eloquently, like a wily general.

"Having said that, Junde is only a general of the local garrison after all, and has no right to detain and interrogate him. If someone catches him, it may be a disaster..."

It has always been taboo for local garrisons to intervene in local government affairs.Lu Zonghou frowned tightly, with a worried look on his face, but a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.Although it is against the rules for the garrison to intervene in local government affairs, for the Lu family, they can bear it. With their own ability, the crime is only for Lu Yan.What's more, Lu Yan's loss of military power is not necessarily a bad thing for the Lu family. Junde has become more and more difficult to control in the past few years, and he is almost going to empty himself as the patriarch. ...

"The granaries in various places were burned down, and even the Wei Gong convoy in charge of disaster relief was attacked. Who else can my husband trust? How could my husband rush to hand over the key criminals to Song Dynasty before the truth of the matter was investigated?" Mingfu?"

Looking at the old man whose face was cloudy and cloudy, Wang's eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and he replied with some fear.Empress Lu Zong couldn't help being shocked, suddenly raised her head, looked at the daughter-in-law in front of her, and involuntarily gasped.As if meeting this daughter-in-law for the first time, he looked her up and down and lowered his voice involuntarily.

"Why didn't you report such a big event to the court?"

"How could my husband not report such an important matter to the court, but since the thieves dared to burn down the granary and attack Wei Gong's convoy, it can be seen that the power is not trivial. It is not surprising that my husband's memorial disappeared halfway...Father, please drink tea."

As Wang said, she got up and poured a cup of tea soup for her father-in-law, and said with a smile.Empress Lu Zong couldn't help wiping off a cold sweat, holding a teacup, but didn't have the slightest intention to drink tea, pondered for a while, and then let out a long breath.

"This move is tantamount to beggar-thy-neighbor. With this move, my Lu family will be cut off from the ranks of aristocratic families. I am afraid that it will be besieged. At that time, there will be enemies everywhere. How can I save myself?"

"My lord father is worrying too much. They definitely don't dare to draw a clear line with our Lu family. On the contrary, my daughter-in-law thinks that they will definitely spare no effort to raise the flag for my husband and try my best to prove my husband's innocence—"

Wang shi smiled leisurely, picked up the teacup leisurely, and took a sip lightly.

"Is it true that my husband can get off this boat? If Mr. Wei doesn't run out, they still have room for maneuver. Now that Mr. Wei has run away from my husband's barracks, it is impossible for them to get off the boat again." .”

Daughter-in-law, amazing!
Empress Lu Zong didn't know how she walked out of the gate of the small courtyard, she just felt like stepping on clouds with her feet, one lower and the other higher, and went back in a daze.

"Why does the master look like this? Could it be that Yu'er—"

Lu Zonghou's main wife, Cui Shi, is the daughter of Qinghe Cui's family. She has lived with Lu Zonghou for decades, and she has never seen her husband in such a state of mind. She couldn't help but put on her clothes and asked softly.

"Yu'er is fine, there's nothing serious about it, but I'm worried that the Lu family is about to suffer—"

Lu Zonghou sat on the head of the bed in a daze, looking at his wife whose temples were already graying, suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up.

"You take Sizhi and the others back to Qinghe's hometown tomorrow, and you are not allowed to come back without my permission."

"master--"

Cui's heart was startled, it was clear that she wanted to drive herself and others away to avoid disaster, she was flustered for a moment, like a mess, she didn't know what to do.

"Ma'am, don't worry. After all, our Lu family is a wealthy family. It is a famous family in the world. After several dynasties, our disciples and old officials have spread all over the court and the public. Visit relatives, rest for a few days to relax."

After Lu Zong finished speaking, he went to bed with slippers and blew out the candles.After a while, he turned over again.It seems that he said something to himself.

"Tomorrow, I will ask the second brother to pick some outstanding young people from the clan. Recently, I have been sent out to exercise and exercise, and I have nothing to do if I stay at home and study hard..."

Cui was startled, and dared to ask, Lu Zonghou had already let out a slight snoring sound.Looking at the pitch-black roof, Cui felt that the night was long and never felt so difficult.

……

"What should we do now?"

In Chenjiabao, Guo Sheng looked at Ma Zhou who was sitting there drinking, and couldn't help feeling anxious, he went up and snatched Ma Zhou's wine gourd.Ma Zhou was not annoyed, he looked up cheerfully at Fa Xiao in front of him.

"What can I do? Is there a thief in this Chenjiabao?"

Guo Sheng was taken aback, nodded, and punched his palm angrily.

"But we didn't catch—"

"Do we need to catch it? That's enough."

Ma Zhou smiled leisurely, grabbed his wine gourd with his hands, lifted it up and took a sip happily.

"The important thing is not the evidence..."

Guo Sheng couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but then he understood, and involuntarily lowered his voice and approached and said.

"You mean Your Majesty..."

"General Guo said carefully—"

Ma Zhou stood up as if nothing had happened, and patted his buttocks.

"Let's go, let's go. Compared with here, I still like your garrison camp better. I feel that I can sleep well."

Guo Sheng came quickly and left quickly, leaving behind a mess in Chenjiabao.Seeing that Guo Sheng really left, Chen Laosi, the housekeeper in charge of Chenjiabao's affairs, walked out of the crowd with a pale face, asked someone to hitch up a carriage, and went straight to Fangcheng County overnight.

……

Not long after Wang Zi'an and Yang Cai'er returned to the county government office, Fang Zheng came back with people. There were quite a few people, but the big guys were all in a mess, and some of them were even injured.

"Thank God, it's good that you are back. The opponents are all masters, but fortunately they have no plans to fight to the death, they just sent people to pester us."

Seeing that Wang Zi'an and Yang Cai'er were safe, Fang Zheng, who hurried back to the county office, was relieved, and apologized to Wang Zi'an and Yang Cai'er with shame.
