"What's the fuss about?" Just when things were about to get out of control, Lu Pei opened the door and walked in with strode. Shi Liang, Geng San, and Wang Dashi, three brothers who were originally entangled together, were like a mouse meeting a cat when they saw Lu Pei. They immediately stood up straight and made a military salute: "Well done. "
"It's killing people! My lord, it's killing people! Please save us quickly." Madam Fu hid behind the Confucian scholar, and when she saw how submissive Shi Liang and the others were, she immediately shouted loudly.
"Fart! Ahem!" Wang Dashi, who had a pair of footprints on his chest, shouted angrily and stopped the shouting little woman, and hurriedly explained to the superior, "Lu Cheng, everything that doesn't happen is just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Lu Pei glared at his subordinate and said sternly: "Is everything okay? The table was slapped like this? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
After asking three questions in a row, Da Shi didn't know how to respond. Lu Yichen took advantage of the situation and glanced at the three subordinates with sharp eyes. He saw Wang Dashi's eyes dodge and Geng three looked ferocious. Only Shi Liang looked heavy, so he asked again: "Shi Liang, please tell me. What happened today?"
When Shi Liang was asked, he glanced at the impulsive Geng San first and then answered loudly: "Back at the beginning, we are negotiating with the third elder sister-in-law about claiming Geng Er's pension. I have already asked you to take a break at noon. I once said that I didn’t handle the conflict well, so I’m willing to be punished!”
Geng San, who was still angry, heard that Shi Liang wanted to take all the punishments, and shouted anxiously: "First of all, this is my own family matter and has nothing to do with them. If you want to punish me, just punish me!" "
"Hmph!" Lu Pei was a little surprised by Geng San's anomaly today, but he had heard about the Geng family's affairs in general. He waved his hands and directed at Da Shi and Shi Liang: "You two, please put this fool first." Take the goods outside and I'll take care of the rest."
"Yes!" The two men accepted the order and immediately dragged the extremely reluctant Geng San out of the public gate.
Now, only three people, Lu Pei, Fu, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar, were left in the house. Lu Pei was not polite. He pulled up a chair and sat in the middle of the room. He glanced at the remaining two people and thought to himself, 'These ladies from the Geng family are quite pretty. But he said seriously: "You must be Geng San's sister-in-law."
After all, Mrs. Fu was just a country girl. Seeing how respectful Shi Liang and the others were to the person in front of them, how could they dare to make a mistake? She kept replying: "My little girl, Mrs. Fu of the Geng family, has met the official."
Lu Yicheng smiled slightly and asked, "I wonder what the Geng family's sister-in-law is doing when she comes to my Yujie Inn today?" Wu Qisan naturally knew the purpose of the two coming, and he had also heard about the Geng family's affairs, especially the The scandal between this woman and Geng Er was widely spread in the camp on the eastern border.
Before meeting Mrs. Fu, the official was so kind and prepared. He took out a silk handkerchief from his waist, rolled it on his fingertips and wiped the dried tears from the corners of his eyes, and said aggrievedly: "My second brother died so pitifully. But I am left alone and helpless, and I hope that the official will make the decision for me and allocate the pension money so that the young woman will not live on the street."
Lu Pei frowned slightly and replied: "Sister-in-law, the death of Geng Erxi is also a pity for the military. Logically speaking, this money should be given to the second son's family, but I heard that Geng Erxi has not been married yet. This pension should be received by the Geng brothers. It seems that the eldest brother has passed away, so the only one who can receive it is Geng Sannan. This is the rule, sister-in-law, don't you think so?" This statement is no different from Shi Liang's. .
In fact, Wu Qisan had a plan in mind. The third child was living and eating in the military camp. This money would not be used for a while. It was equivalent to a dead money. It could be kept in the Yamen for emergencies. , how could he be easily taken away by this woman.
The woman suddenly burst into tears and said in a tearful voice: "The officials don't know. Last year, my eldest husband died in the epidemic. I wanted to go with my husband so that we could be buried together. It was my second uncle who took care of my little wife day and night." People. I feel grateful for how good the Geng family has been to me, and I am willing to take care of me for the rest of my life. We are in love with each other and have promised each other."
Mrs. Fu was actually anxious, and her tears actually flowed down her face. She cried and said, "Please take pity on this young woman who is orphaned and widowed." She had already sold off all her farmland at home, and she came here today just to get the money. As a dowry, she and Xia Lang beside her went back to Toshiba Town to live the good life of a rich family. She felt sad again in her heart, and tears instantly flowed down, becoming a tearful person.
Lu Pei looked troubled and comforted: "Sister-in-law, please don't be too sad. Let me think of a solution. But rules are rules after all, so don't expect too much." He said so comfortingly, but in his heart he was already worried. With care, you can't get free money just by crying.
Just when the matter was about to be dismissed by Wu Qisan, the jade-faced middle-aged man who had been accompanying Fu Shi patted the little woman lovingly, bowed his hands and saluted Lu Pei: "Master Yi Cheng, Let’s listen to what Xiaosheng has to say.”
Lu Pei had just ignored the white-faced man and regarded him as the woman's new concubine, feeling disdainful. Now when I heard this Confucian scholar speak very elegantly, I couldn't help but ask: "May I ask who you are sir?"
The jade-faced middle-aged man bowed again and said just now: "Xiaosheng is just an ordinary peony scholar in Dongzhi Town. Seeing Fu Min's pity, he came back to Jade Festival with her to take care of her husband's funeral. But it was Deacon Lin who passed the Wu Xing Shou last year. When the escort passed through Dongzhi Town, I and my brother entertained all the sergeants from Yujieyi. Now that I am in Yujie, I feel more cordial to see Master Yicheng."
After hearing that the Confucian scholar announced his family status, Lu Pei naturally asked: "I wonder who your brother is?"
The jade-faced middle-aged man smiled slightly and replied like a spring breeze: "It is Xia Song, the leader of the Dongzhiyi garrison."
Lu Yichen suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, it turns out he is Lao Xia's younger brother. He is one of his own." He was even more disdainful in his heart. He was now the leader of Yiyi, and was naturally half a level higher than Xia Song. Thinking of the previous Borrowing troops made Xia Song feel arrogant, and he was even more angry.
However, the Confucian scholar was still respectful and said to himself as if he had his own authority: "My brother often complained to me: 'The camp has enough heavy armor personnel, but there are fifteen veterans in red armor who have been trained for a long time. Even though I have passed the background check, there is no way out, and I have treated my brother badly.' Hearing that Yujie's defense was insufficient, I specially asked this boy to come here to help the old brothers in the camp find a way to be promoted."
When he was in trouble, someone brought him a soft pillow. This naturally made Lu Xingshou, who was sitting calmly, very happy. He jumped up from the chair in an instant, took the man's hands close to him, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He spoke loudly. Said: "Brother, you came at the right time. Let's find a quiet place to talk in detail. By the way, sister-in-law together, sister-in-law together." As he spoke, the middle-aged and Fu pulled each other together. Shi walked out of the room.
