Chang'an is good

Chang Sui Ning stopped when he heard the sound, and turned to look at the group of more than ten people.

She recognized one of the middle-aged men walking in the front, and the rest was easy to guess, so she asked, "Is everything going well, everyone?"

"Miss Huichang, everything is going well!"

"Today I can see that beast being put to death with my own eyes, all because of the help of Mrs. Chang!" Although the middle-aged man is not tall, he has thick limbs and is dressed as a warrior. His eyes are full of tears at this moment.

Chang Suining met him once, and asked now: "Since that's the case, Master Lu should be reinstated if he wants to come, right?"

"Yes, Dali Temple has verified everything, and the opening document from the Ministry of Officials has arrived." The man lifted up his robe and knelt down: "Ms. Chang's kindness, Lu Chong will definitely remember it in his heart, and I will definitely repay it in the future!"

He was also a seventh-rank military officer.

A few years ago, the only daughter in his family was raped by Ming Jin and threw herself into the river. He failed to seek justice for his daughter and instead lost his official position. He has been working in a bodyguard agency for a living all these years.

His desire to seek justice for his daughter has never changed, but he also knows that this matter is as difficult as ever, until that day, Chang Ren found him.

"Lord Lu has resumed his official status, it's really inappropriate to kneel down on me." Chang Suining signaled Ah Che to help him up.

"What's wrong with kneeling on your benefactor!" Lu Chong insisted and kowtowed to the girl again: "Benefactor is on top, please accept Lu Chong's worship!"

A couple also knelt down.

The couple dressed as the richest of the group.

They came from a family of merchants. When they brought their eldest son to Beijing to do business two years ago, the eldest son who was socializing with others in the restaurant was beaten by the drunken Ming Jin for "disrespect" because he did not know the elder son of the Ming family. Since then, she has been disabled and has been lying paralyzed on the bed. Her temperament has changed drastically and she committed suicide several times.

They have been doing business in the south of the Yangtze River for generations, and they are not short of money, but all this is not worth mentioning in front of the monstrous power.

The couple insisted on going to Beijing several times, and sent a large amount of money to various places, but those people refused to do anything after receiving the money, and repeatedly shirked it. When they were in a hurry, they only said, "I advise you to stop talking nonsense, so as not to cause trouble again." upper body".

"Going home this time, I can finally give Gouzi an explanation..." The woman's eyes were blurred with tears: "If Gouzi hears about the wicked man's punishment, maybe he can cheer up..."

The rest also bowed and knelt in thanks.

Ache gradually became flustered.

As soon as one side was lifted up, the other side knelt down again... It can't be finished, it can't be finished at all.

"You really don't need to perform such a big gift." Chang Suining said frankly: "At first I sent people to find you because my brother was in a dangerous situation. I knew who the real culprit was but had no hard evidence, so I tried to gather his past crimes and mistakes. , put it in front of others, and work together to put pressure on the government—"

She secretly made many plans at that time, and this is just one of them.

But in the process, after thinking twice, she gave up the plan.

One is that this strategy is too roundabout, and the other is that she is afraid that after she makes a big fuss, she still fails to bring Ming Jin to justice, or on the contrary, these people who have their own sufferings will be targeted for revenge afterwards .

Therefore, this plan was shelved.

It wasn't until Mingjin was escorted to Dali Temple on the day of offering sacrifices to Confucius that these sufferers came forward together and denounced Mingjin's past crimes.

As they said just now, the report went well and they were treated fairly.

This is of course a good thing, but Chang Suining thinks: "I'm only doing it out of selfishness, I really can't afford such a big thank you gift from all of you."

"Lu Chong is a martial artist. I don't know these things. I only know that if I don't know the wife, I won't be able to see my enemy being beheaded!"

"That's right, Mrs. Chang ordered us to be protected earlier, and she also searched for evidence and witnesses for us... Again, it was out of selfishness, but it is a fact that we have been favored by Mrs. Chang."

"As for Mrs. Chang's previous plan, she also made it clear to us early on that it was a matter of your wish and mutual leverage... On the contrary, Mrs. Chang changed her plan halfway through, saving us from taking half of the risk. And all the benefits, just based on this, you can also be worthy of the word benefactor!"

On the day of offering sacrifices to Confucius, it was the girl who single-handedly sought justice for her brother and for them.

"...We old couple have nothing, and there is no descendant in our family who can repay you, and we have received your help. If you refuse to accept this mere sentence of gratitude, how can our conscience be at ease." A pair of dressed The old couple wearing the patch cried.

Having said that, Chang Suining smiled: "Then I will have the audacity to accept this gift from you all, please hurry up."

What she said just now was not a pretentious refusal, she just needs to state her original intentions honestly, and if everyone feels that she is still worthy of thanks after she speaks out, then she will accept it calmly.

This is what you really want.

Finally, everyone no longer resisted being supported by Ah Che. When Ah Che retreated to his girl, the faint soreness in his arms made him realize that he needed more training.

Chang Suining looked at those faces of different ages, but had experienced pain and injustice, and finally said: "The perpetrators have been punished, this matter is over, and there will be a new day in the future. Take care of yourself."

"Miss Chang, take care too."

"May Mr. Chang Lang recover soon..."

"Ms. Chang will be protected by the gods for doing such a great act of kindness. General Chang will surely return in victory as soon as possible!"

"..."

Looking at those grateful and sincere eyes, Chang Suining raised his hand and saluted: "Thank you for your kind words."

Everyone returned the salute one after another, and then watched the girl's carriage leave in the same place.

The young boy in plain brocade who witnessed this scene not far away also subconsciously looked at the carriage going away.

After a while, the young man seemed to have made up his mind, asked the servant to lead the horse, got on the horse and left.

……

"Girl, it seems that someone is following us."

The attendant driving the car said in a low voice.

"It's okay, just follow if you want." Chang Sui Ning in the carriage said, "Let's go back to the house first and wait."

The follower responded without hesitation.

After Mr. Lang's incident, outsiders treated the girl like this, and their obedience to the girl has changed from the original status and rules to true loyalty and trust.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the comparison conversation they had with a group of brothers last night——

In order to show the loyalty to the girl now, I don't know who started it first, saying that even if the girl asked him to pick up a thousand catties of dung, he would not even blink!
Another way, not to mention picking, let him eat whatever!
Not to be outdone, someone said that even if the girl asked him to strip naked and run around Suzaku Street, he would feel that there must be a reason for the girl to do so!
Before the more explosive rhetoric appeared, Chang Ren walked over and slapped each subordinate's head equally with his big ear scraper—you have to think carefully about showing loyalty, it is impossible for a young girl to have such absurd hobbies !

All in all, they treat their girls faithfully these days.

As for someone following, the girl let him follow, there must be the girl's intention.

The entourage drove the carriage back to Xingning Square smoothly, when Chang Suining got off the carriage, he saw two carriages parked outside the mansion, apparently there were guests.

Recently, the Chang family has been visited by people almost every day.

Cui Lang came today, and Hu Huanxi Zhiyuan them.

Cui Langzheng regretted that he could not go to watch the execution in time. He was too noisy some time ago. Since he cried all the way back to Chang's house from Dali Temple that day, his father was so angry that he was not allowed to go to the Imperial Prison. , fined him to stay at home for many days.

He sneaked out today, and wanted to go to the execution ground to join in the fun, but he heard that the beheading had already been finished on the way - he failed to see Ming Jin's dog's head fall to the ground with his own eyes, and his father should be fully responsible!

Disappointed, Cui Lang came directly to the Chang Mansion.

Now that Chang Suining came back, Hu Huan asked Chang Suining about the details of Ming Jin's execution in order to make up for Cui Liulang's regret.

Unexpectedly, Cui Liulang pinched his arm severely.

Such a bloody thing asks why so fine?
What if I scare Miss Qiao?
Cui Lang subconsciously looked at Qiao Yumian, but saw the fair and slender girl full of curiosity: "Yes, Ningning, how did you cut off that end, did you cut it off with one knife? There was not much blood, and when the head fell to the ground, Can that head really blink and speak?"

Cui Lang's expression froze for a moment.

In addition to being curious, the little girl also revealed an amazing reserve of knowledge in this area.

Cui Lang: "Yes...Master, just talk about it!"

Hu Huan rubbed his arms and looked at him inexplicably—what did you mean by pinching him just now!

Chang Sui'an, who was leaning on the bed, also looked at his sister curiously.

He could only lie down for the first seven or eight days, and he was only allowed to sit up in these two days.

He felt that he could try to get out of bed and move around, but his sister refused to allow him to follow Dr. Sun's instructions and lie down for half a month before trying to get out of bed.

In order to be able to carry the gun on the horse in the future, he lay down.

And Chang Suining's day to leave Beijing is roughly scheduled after Chang Suian can get out of bed and walk around. Before that, her elder brother's injured body really can't stand half of the toss.

But to this day, except for Chang's family and Yaojin, she has not mentioned her intention to leave Beijing to anyone else.

At this moment, looking at the familiar faces of Qiao's brothers and sisters, Cui Lang and the others, thinking that they will be separated soon, Chang Suining also responded to his request, and seriously talked about the details of Ming Jin's execution.

Mrs. Wang, who came in with the soup, suddenly heard this, and almost spilled the soup in fright, but the group of children listened with great interest.

"Girl, there are guests here." Following closely behind Mrs. Wang, Xi'er came in from the outside and said, "It's the young gentleman from the eldest grandson's family. He said he came to visit him."

She still remembered the matter of that man yelling and hurting her man.

Chang Suining's tone was very friendly: "Since you are here to see brother, please invite him here."

In addition to visiting Chang Suian, Changsun Ji also came to apologize and thank him.

He should have come a long time ago, but he hesitated for a long time only because he couldn't get rid of his face and self-esteem. Now that Ming Jin is dead, he should come here no matter what.

But Changsun Ji soon felt that he had come hastily.

The moment he walked into Chang Sui's house, he looked at the people in the room and couldn't help being stunned.

...Why are there so many people here?
What's more deadly is that there is also Cui Liulang, who is very indebted: "Mr. Changsun came here today, is it because Jian Nuo came to make amends?"

Changsun Ji's expression froze.

He did intend to do so originally, but when the other party said this, he found it hard to tell. Who knows this feeling?
However, when he saw Chang Suian, who was sitting on the bed and was injured all over his body, Changsun Ji finally overcame the arrogance and self-esteem of the children of the young minded family, and raised his hand to salute solemnly: "When the truth was not known before, I treated Mr. Chang more. There are misunderstandings, and I have hurt others impulsively... I am here today to apologize."

Chang Suian shook his head at him: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter!"

There was also a look of sympathy in her eyes: "Besides, Miss Changsun Qi suddenly had an accident at that time, and the evidence pointed to me... You are four or five years younger than me, and it is human nature to behave like that."

Changsun Ji: "..." Stop talking, the more he talks, the more he feels that he is not human.

When Chang Suian was about to say something more, Cui Lang said from the side: "I seem to remember... the eldest grandson Langjun once said that if my master can help your eldest grandson's family find out the real culprit, the eldest grandson Langjun will marry me." Master kowtows to thank you?"

The boy who was already ashamed of Chang Suian's attitude suddenly blushed.

Did he say...

But the talk of kowtowing is completely carried away by angry words.

"I should thank Mrs. Chang..." He looked at Chang Suining, unable to get off the tiger for a while: "I..."

The girl also looked at him, and when her eyes met, Changsun Ji suddenly flashed before Changsun Ji the scene of the day when she stood in the abandoned book library with her hair disheveled in the Confucian Temple, with blood dripping from her arms.

At this moment, all thoughts in the young man's mind were abandoned, and he was about to kneel down when he lifted his robe.

Then the next moment, the girl stretched out her hand to support one of his arms, preventing him from moving.

Changsun Ji looked up at her in astonishment.

"There's no need to kneel and thank you." Chang Suining said: "When Changsun Langjun visited that day, my elder brother had kindly rescued me. The two should only be balanced, how?"

Grandson Ji was stunned.

She actually knew about it.

He said: "That's just a matter of raising your hands..."

Chang Suining smiled and said, "I help your government bring the real culprit to justice, and it's a matter of little effort."

Chang Sui'an also thanked grandson Ji.

Changsun Ji didn't say anything, but felt ashamed in his heart.

Afterwards, Chang Suining personally sent him out of Chang Suian's residence.

"...Madam Chang blames my family for having the witness sent by Madam Chang, but not coming forward in time to relieve Brother Ling?" The young man thought over and over again, and then asked in a low voice.

Chang Suining: "It's not surprising."

The eldest grandson is silent.

It's not surprising that it's not worth being surprised. She didn't answer his question, or in other words, his question was really naive and meaningless.

She didn't seem to care, instead she chatted with him: "I see that Mr. Changsun and Mrs. Seven's brows and eyes are quite similar."

"Yes, everyone in the family says that I look the most similar to my sister-in-law." The young man's tone was a little sad and sad, and he was also ashamed: "But I am not as good as my sister-in-law, whether I have a good heart, a good mind, or a good mind... I am not as good as my sister-in-law."

Chang Suining nodded: "Indeed."

Changsun Ji turned his head: "?"

But the girl smiled: "I saw you sad, just kidding."

Changsun Ji: "..." Why doesn't he feel like it?
Until the other party said to him: "The eldest grandson, Mr. Lang, has a very good disposition. Now it is because he is still young and his disposition is not yet determined - when he grows up and experiences a lot of experience in the future, he will definitely become a virtuous person that makes people feel ashamed."

Changsun Ji was stunned when he heard that, and looked at the girl with a calm smile in the afternoon sun.

When he came back to his senses, he was about to say something, but he had already left the yard, so Chang Suining stopped: "Mr. Changsun, go slowly."

Changsun Ji then nodded: "...I will come to see Mr. Chang Lang some other day."

Seeing the young boy leave, Chang Suining only felt that this "another day" period might be difficult.

With the extension of the war in Yangzhou and the events of Ming and Jin, the gentry courtiers headed by the Changsun family are now in the same situation as the empress of the Ming Dynasty, to the point where they can only exist as one.

What will happen tomorrow, no one can predict.

……

At the same moment, after completing the errand, Yuan Xiang, who hurried to find his own governor, had already arrived in Bingzhou.

(Xiao Cui: I heard that everyone has almost forgotten me? (ω‖))

good night!
