Chapter 2167 The Imperial City Gate Opens
There were a lot of things happening in the capital, one after another, and gossip was everywhere. After three days, everyone talked less about Lu Bai. They only asked about him when they talked about other gossip.
Someone said: "I heard that he was dead, so I didn't dare to hold a big funeral. I secretly transported him out of the city, burned him in the Dou family's village, and brought his ashes back to the countryside, intending to bury them hastily. This is how my life will go."
Ah, he died again? Isnt it another rumor this time?
"It's true this time. Everyone in Xianning Street heard the mourning. They cried so miserably. Yao Chuanlu and the others haven't been to the Yamen for several days. Young Master Yan of the Yan family also lives in Dou's house. I will help Lu Bai with his funeral for a few days. Because of this, the Yan family wants to give Young Master Yan away from the clan."
"That's what he deserves. A member of a good family must not get involved in this matter. The Yan family has been a family for hundreds of years and there are so many people. In order to protect themselves, of course they have to leave this unworthy descendant out of the family!"Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
However, some people sighed: "It's such a pity that Lu Xiucai has a great reputation, but he is willing to tell us stories for free. Our whole family likes to listen to his stories. My youngest son is also clamoring to become a soldier and fight against bandits." If I knew Lu Xiucai was dead, I would cry bitterly."
Just as he was sighing, there was a gust of wind blowing next to him. When he looked closely, he saw that it was his family's crazy young son running past them with a group of children in the alley.
Lao Ma's anger suddenly rose, pointing at his son's back and roaring: "Wuyun, why are you so crazy? After breakfast, hurry up and chop wood for me!"
A large family needs firewood for cooking and boiling water. If half-year-old children like Wuyun don't chop firewood, the family will have to spend more than ten cents a day to buy firewood.
Ma Wuyun turned around and shouted to him: "Dad, I won't chop wood today. I'm going to help Lu Xiucai. Lu Xiucai went to knock on the imperial city gate to complain!"
"What, Lu Xiucai faked the corpse?!" Lao Ma and the others were shocked. A group of men squatting at the entrance of the alley and gossiping hurriedly put on their shoes and greeted each other: "Let's go, hurry up and take a look at the imperial city. This is a big piece of gossip that is rare to see in a hundred years.
Yes, yes, yes, hurry up, we wont be able to squeeze in if its too late.
He sighed again: "I didn't expect that Lu Xiucai is not dead yet. This fate, tsk, is really hard!"
Lu Bai was very famous in the capital for redressing his own injustice. This time he knocked on the imperial city gate again, which alarmed half of the capital. After hearing about it, the common people in the major cities, streets and alleys, and even some powerful princes, heard about it. They all ran towards the imperial city, wanting to see how this matter would end?
Lu Bai heard the sound and looked back. When he saw Yao Youqian and the others, he was shocked, but he quickly recovered... They were all smart people. How could he deceive them with his little tricks?
Yao Youqian looked at him and said: "No need to say anything more, just do what you want to do. We are not here to die with you, we just want to accompany you on the last journey. If you are alive, we will do it for you High fives and cheers, if you die, we will collect your body for you."
Qi Kangming and others followed: "This is the result of our discussion together. You don't have to worry about us and do what you want to do."
As for whether they would be stripped of their fame during this trip, they no longer care... As Gu Jinan said, even if they cannot be officials and have no fame, they can still rely on their own abilities to help the village after returning to the countryside.
L Bai had come to a great realization because of the catastrophe he had suffered, and thought he would not cry again, but at this moment, he still shed tears and saluted Yao Youqian and the others: "Thank you brothers for sending me this."
Yao Youqian and the others responded with a salute: "Brother Lu, let's go."
After the ceremony, Lu Bai stood up straight, glanced at them, turned around decisively, held the paper in his hand, and continued walking forward, not afraid of the imperial guards at all.
The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army pointed at him and said: "Bold warrior, stop quickly. This is your second time breaking into the imperial city. If you dare to go forward again, you will be killed on the spot!"
However, Lu Bai didn't listen at all and continued walking. The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army asked someone to shoot arrows at Lu Bai's feet.
Ding ding ding!
The sharp arrow was nailed at Lu Bai's feet, but it did not scare Lu Bai. He continued to walk forward, forcing the imperial guards to retreat a few meters.
The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army was furious. He snatched the bow and arrow from his subordinates, opened the bow and nocked the arrow, and with two whoosh sounds, the sharp arrow shot towards Lu Bai, piercing both of his legs, causing Lu Bai to suffer pain and kneel down on the bluestone. superior.
"Lu Bai, you dare to knock on the imperial city gate again. You are considered a man. I will respect you once. These two arrows are a lesson to you, but I advise you not to go any further, otherwise the next arrow will be shot at Its your head!
Lu Bai's legs were in pain and he could no longer stand up, but he refused to retreat. He supported the ground with one hand and held up the paper with the other. He slowly moved forward and shouted: "Lu Bai, a scholar from Yujiang County, Anfu, Jianghuai River, Bai, sue the Five Cities Military and Horse Department for abusing their power, and ask the adults from the Sixth Department of the Imperial City to make the decision for me!"
He is a scholar. If even he cannot seek justice, then other farmers without fame will be even less able to redress themselves when they encounter injustice.
