Chapter 186 Going to Beijing to ask for orders

Zhao Liming looked at his two righteous brothers from his aunt's family, and felt that his own brothers were ignorant.

In this situation, how could they be compared with Liwen and Liwu?

Li Yunshu saw through Zhao Liming's thoughts and said to him coldly: "Liming, how can you be a big brother? It is obvious that the three brothers made the same mistake. If I am not mistaken, this trick must have come up with Liwu. Why do you only care about Lide and ignore Liwen and Liwu? Why do you still want to distinguish between brothers?" Zhao

Liming heard his aunt say this and thought that she was angry, so he quickly explained: "Aunt, that's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean?" Li Yunshu still had a cold face, as if she was really angry.

Zhao Liming was anxious. This was the first time he saw his aunt with a gloomy face since he was a child. He quickly explained, "Aunt, don't get me wrong. In this situation, how can Lide and I be compared with Liwen and Liwu!"

Li Yunshu was really annoyed when she heard him say that. She said angrily, "Zhao Liming, I knew you were having wild thoughts again. How come you and Lide are different from those two guys? Your father's affairs will be investigated soon.

Even if something happens, we adults will take care of it. You are a child, why do you worry about these things every day? I think it's you, not Lide, who should be punished. Do you still regard us as a family?"

Li Yunshu scolded happily, but Zhao Liming was very moved. He lowered his head and said, "Auntie, such a big thing happened in our first house that even my mother was scared away. Aren't you afraid of being implicated by us?"

Li Yunshu scolded, "You little bastard, do you think this is human language? We are a family, and our bones are still connected. Such a small thing can break up our family. Are you worthy of the plaque of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion? Listen to me, your mother is not here, but you still have me, your aunt. It's not your turn to worry about it. Just focus on studying. I will naturally take care of these three bastards!"

Liwen and Liwu were listening to their mother scolding their eldest brother with relish. They were thinking that this time their eldest brother would take the blame and divert attention, so they would definitely be punished. Unexpectedly, after scolding their eldest brother, their mother did not forget to deal with them.

Liwu winked at Liwen, then grabbed Lide and ran away.

Li Yunshu stuffed the child into Zhao Liming's arms, rolled up her sleeves and chased after him: "You little bastard, stop right there with me. You've made the whole house full of mud!"

Zhao Liming smiled, held Li Yunshu and said, "Auntie, stop chasing me. I'll call the cook to clean up these eels. Leave the others to me!"

Li Yunshu stopped and said, "Let the three brothers clean up all the mud in the house for me, otherwise, don't think about having dinner tonight!"

Zhao Liming smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll make sure they get it clean as new."

Li Yunshu then carried the child back to her yard. Liming set an example for them, and his three brothers listened to him the most. With Liming in charge, she was relieved.

There was no news about Zhao Hongjing at all. Could something have really happened to him? She really regretted it. When had Hongjing ever suffered such hardship? She should have gone instead.

Now, Zhao Hongjing was wearing a coarse cloth and was mixed with a group of disaster victims from Xiling with his secret guards and servants.

Zhao Hongjing took out a nest of beans from his bag and gave one to each of the people around him. He asked, "Fellow villagers, didn't the emperor send people to Xiling to provide disaster relief? Why do you still want to flee from famine?"

An old man with gray hair took the nest of beans and said, "We are not fleeing from famine. We are going to the capital to ask for mercy?"

"Ask for mercy?" Zhao Hongjing looked puzzled.

A man next to him said, "Brother, you must not be from Xiling! "

Zhao Hongjing shook his head and said, "No, I'm from the capital. This time I went out to look for my lost elder brother, but unfortunately I didn't find him, so I had to go back!"

The man explained, "No wonder you didn't know. We went to the capital to plead for the minister Zhao Hongye."

Zhao Hongjing showed no expression on his face and asked, "Isn't that the corrupt official who embezzled disaster relief funds and caused the dam to burst? You are asking for his life, are you kidding me? "

Nonsense, Lord Zhao worked diligently in Xiling, lived and ate with the victims and did not abandon any of them. He even used his own salary on disaster relief. How could he be corrupt? I'll tell you the truth. We have brought the blood letter of tens of thousands of people from Xiling and we must seek justice for Lord Zhao."

Zhao Hongjing couldn't believe his ears: "You climbed mountains and waded through water just to plead for Zhao Hongye? "

The victims said excitedly, "There are frequent earthquakes in Xiling. In the past, those disaster relief officials only went through the motions. Only Lord Zhao inspects the disaster area every day to ensure that ordinary people like us have food and shelter, and he also builds houses for us for free. In the past, those officials were in cahoots with the rich families and didn't care about our lives. How could such a good official be corrupt and pervert the law!"

Zhao Hongjing listened to the victims' narration, and his mind was filled with the image of his elder brother running around in the disaster area. He felt his eyes warm.

In order to prevent tears from falling, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.

The big man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be embarrassed. We are also moved to tears when we think of Lord Zhao. "

Zhao Hongye smiled awkwardly and said, "Since you are going to do such a meaningful thing, let's take a companion on the road. I also want to see how such a good official you are talking about could be regarded as a corrupt official and taken to the capital in a prison cart."

As he said this, a man with his hands tied and a pointed face next to him was anxious to say something.

Zhao Hongjing kicked him unceremoniously and cursed, "Be honest!"

The victims asked, "Brother, who is this guy to you and why is he tied up? "

Zhao Hongjing looked at the man with disgust and said, "Don't mention it. He is a distant relative of mine. According to seniority, I should call him my grandson. He is a mute. He doesn't want to be a good person, but insists on doing such sneaky things. You are my grandson after all. I can't just ignore him. I have to tie him up and take him back to educate him."

Those who originally sympathized with him suddenly turned cold and ignored him.

In this way, the group went to the capital in a lively and noisy manner.

Here, Zhao Antai and Xu came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in a hurry, and the first sentence they said was: "Where is Xiaoxiao?"

Zhao Wanyue was startled and asked hurriedly: "Father, mother, what happened? "

Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red and she said, "Alas, your second brother has been gone for so long, and there is no news at all. I am really worried that something has happened to him. We only have these two sons in our family, we can't let them all die!"
