Chapter 63 He is a good man
When Fu Danjun discovered the thief, he had not run far yet. He took the opportunity to chase the thief and planned to run away. He even thought of a route.
He ran out of the street to the woods, and then chose a cliff and left one of his shoes there, so that Wanyan Qi would think that he had fallen off the cliff.
Little did she know that she and the thief were caught up by Wanyan Qi before they had run far.
Wanyan Qi knocked the thief down with a stone and took back the purse: "You are sweating all over from running. Take a break."
Facing Wanyan Qi's concern and heartache, Fu Danjun could only smile bitterly and said, "You are so good at fighting. I envy you."
Wanyan Qi laughed heartily, puffed out his chest and said, "If we people from the northern border were not good at fighting, we would starve to death."
Fu Danjun was in a bad mood, but he didn't want to spoil his fun: "What else do you have hidden? I'll see you again some other day."
Wanyan Qi became more and more excited: "Riding a horse and drawing a bow are what I am best at. I will take you to practice some other day."
In Kyoto, Sun Qingli released Lu Yu.
But Lu Yu had a bruised face and a lame leg.
When he returned home, his mother and Mrs. Pei were both scared and cried, and asked him if he had been tortured.
Lu Yu quickly admitted that it was caused by torture. In fact, Sun Qingli was even wondering how he became like this.
In fact, Lu Yu was beaten by Xie Changsheng.
He made up a story that day, and Xie Changsheng listened to it with great interest at first.
Later, I don’t know which of my words was taboo, but he jumped up and beat me up.
But Lu Yu planned to keep this fact to himself, after all, it would be shameful to tell it out loud.
Madam Hou felt sorry for Lu Yu and repeatedly asked Pei to find a way to take revenge.
Pei cried and said, "What my mother-in-law said is true. We should take revenge. How dare a Dali Temple official take the initiative to execute us? Our family has the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Dali Temple Junior Official. How dare he do this?"
These words reminded the old lady: "Quick, call Yuanshi!"
Yuan Shi was in a bad mood when she was called over and saw her mother-in-law's face was gloomy: "What do you want, old lady?"
Madam Hou looked at her with anger in her eyes: "Don't you know what's going on at home? Didn't you see how your eldest uncle was tortured and injured?"
Yuan Shi was angry and helpless: "I saw it, but as a woman, I can't help."
Then he changed the subject and said, "My father has already informed the Dali Temple Minister."
The implication is that all the help that needs to be given has been given.
Far from expressing gratitude, Madam Hou grew even angrier: "Why couldn't your father, a junior official in the Dali Temple, rescue Lu Yu from prison? Couldn't he have done it? I think he was just watching someone die!"
Pei suddenly knelt on the ground crying: "Mother-in-law, please don't make things difficult for my sister-in-law. She has done her best."
Madam Hou sneered: "I tried my best, but that's all."
Yuan was very sad and angry. When she was about to leave, she was asked again: "What is Zhao'er busy with? He doesn't care about anything at home. Apart from spending money on food, it's as if this family has nothing to do with him."
Yuanshi had no answer and could only endure it silently.
After returning to her room, she burst into tears, then drank alone, complaining to the maid that the Marquis's Mansion was becoming increasingly decadent and that she had no hope for the rest of her life.
Pei asked a doctor to examine Lu Yu's injuries, who said they were just superficial wounds and not serious.
Lu Yu didn't care about the pain, but was wondering why Xie Changsheng suddenly got angry.
He reviewed his words carefully several times and didn't feel that he had violated any taboos.
The final conclusion was that Xie Changsheng was infatuated with Fu Danjun and married her off personally, which led to his mental disorder.
He didn't care about his past with Fu Danjun, he just wanted to mention her.
Xie Changsheng returned to the palace, and his mood became worse day by day.
He was too lazy to even lose his temper, and from time to time he asked himself what was the fun in living?
His journey from being an unwelcome prince to becoming the emperor was very bumpy. He also loved a woman deeply, but unfortunately, she was his cousin.
Later, a woman named Fu Danjun found pleasure in torturing her.
But in order to trade with the northern border, he married her off.
Am I destined to live a lonely and perverse life?
Before he could come up with an answer, however, Eunuch Chang Le came running in, sweating profusely, "Your Majesty, an urgent report from eight hundred miles away: a severe flood has occurred in Luoyang."
Xie Changsheng had already snatched the memorial and opened it. It turned out that the officials he had sent to Luoyang to control the flood were irresponsible, spending their time in debauchery and pleasure, causing the refugees to flee in all directions, some of whom had already come to the capital to beg for food.
"Damn it!"
Xie Changsheng immediately summoned his ministers and said that he was going to Luoyang to inspect the disaster.
The ministers did not dare to stop him, and Xie Changsheng selected senior and trusted ministers to be in charge of daily government affairs.
Choose a few followers and set off as soon as possible.
Fu Danjun was still carrying out his escape plan.
However, there were no mountains or cliffs along the way, so it was impossible to create the illusion of death.
Now she really regretted it. If she had taken Lan Fang with her that day, she could have escaped successfully.
Later, she pretended to be ignorant and ate mushrooms from the woods.
She wanted to say goodbye to Wanyan Qi as soon as she was poisoned, and said that she wanted to die quietly in a place alone.
Then he took the opportunity to run away, but who knew that he did have a stomachache after eating the mushrooms, but it was gone after a while.
Wanyan Qi was inspired and ordered people to destroy all the mushrooms in front in advance.
This way, Fu Danjun won’t be greedy because he can’t see it.
Fu Danjun had no choice but to use the dumbest method and pretend to have a cold.
Wanyan Qi stopped to find a doctor to treat her, and later said that his heart was not in good condition and he always had chest pain.
Wanyan Qi stopped on his journey and looked for a good doctor from the local area to treat her.
In short, Wanyan Qi has a very good temper and he is patient no matter how Fu Danjun torments him.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Fu Danjun began to feel guilty towards him.
In the Marquis' Mansion, Eunuch Chang Le came to convey the imperial edict.
Lu Yu was unexpectedly chosen by the emperor to go to Luoyang to inspect the flood.
Lu Yu was so angry that he almost fainted because Xie Changsheng was extremely difficult to please.
Whoever follows him will be unlucky, and he is so wounded that it is uncomfortable to lie down, let alone rush on the road.
What distressed him most was that the usury was overdue month after month.
Those debt collectors came to the door from time to time, although they were all driven away by the servants.
But if I'm not at home, who will clean up the mess?
In fact, no one in his family was unaware that he was being chased for debt.
Yuanshi and Lu Yu pretended not to know and were not going to help out a penny.
Moreover, Yuanshi became increasingly disillusioned with her husband's family and her husband, and even considered imitating Fu Danjun and getting a divorce.
Of course, there are more advantages for Lu Yu to stay at home than to go out.
Lu Zhao is still a little afraid of Lu Yu, and he can be controlled at home.
Mrs. Pei shuddered at the thought of her husband leaving and those usurers coming to settle accounts with her.
So at night she cried and begged: "Let me and the child go with you to Luoyang, so we can take care of each other on the way."
Lu Yu thought she really couldn't bear to leave him, so he hugged her and said, "Madam, you really do care about me."
Pei asked quickly: "Have you agreed?"
Lu Yu sighed: "I have to ask the old lady."
However, Madam Hou also had her own plans. She couldn't be the one to pay back Lu Yu's loan!
She also wanted to find a place to hide.
The next day, Pei came and said that she would take the child and Lu Yu to Luoyang.
