The official road of the farmer

Ye Junshu, Li Yu and his party hurried out, and it didn't take long before they ran into Deputy Lieutenant Liao who came to maintain order.

Beside him was a chunky and round official who was anxiously talking to Lieutenant Liao, his fat forehead covered with sweat.Judging from his official uniform, he should be Jing Zhaoyin who is responsible for maintaining public security in the capital.

Jing Zhaoyin cannot absolve himself of the blame for such a big mistake at the Lantern Festival, and he will definitely be held accountable for his negligence.

After such a long period of chaos, they did not come out in time to calm it down. In the end, Lieutenant Liao came forward to lead troops to restore order.

The people who were injured during the period and the civilians who unfortunately died of trampling were still being counted. After all the wounded were settled, Lieutenant Liao didn't care about it, and Jing Zhaoyin took over to finish it.

Seeing the tragic situation after the chaos, Lieutenant Liao really didn't want to say a word to Jing Zhaoyin.

When he sent someone to look for Jing Zhaoyin, he was pampering Mei Chong on the river boat watching the lanterns.

The subordinates who finally found someone were stopped, saying that they should not disturb the interest of the adults, and when they talked later, they thought it was just a trivial matter.

When they found out that the situation was serious, they led the troops over in a hurry.

At this time, Lieutenant Liao had already brought the situation under control and evacuated the people.

If Jing Zhaoyin is allowed to quell the chaos, there will definitely be more casualties.

Lieutenant Liao and Jing Zhaoyin saw them, they took the initiative to greet them, and then saluted the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince straightened his back and said seriously, "You don't need to be too polite when you're out."

Seeing the seventh prince, Jing Zhaoyin sweated even more on his forehead and face in the cold weather.

Although the Seventh Prince is still just a child, but after all he occupies the title of Di and Huang, if he says something in front of the emperor and leaves a bad impression on His Majesty, it will be even more detrimental to him.

He was about to flatter with a shy face, but Xiahou Xuanjing slightly raised his hand to stop him from speaking: "My lord, don't worry about my prince, please calm the people as soon as possible." Although Xiahou Xuanjing's voice was still immature, it showed royal dignity.

Jing Zhaoyin wiped his sweat with his wide sleeves while answering "Yes."

At this time, he wanted to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. The Seventh Prince had already said so, so it was natural for him to finish it himself.

Jing Zhaoyin resigned and left.

Deputy Lieutenant Liao saw that Cai and his group were in a hurry, and a dozen guards scattered everywhere, as if they were looking for something, so he asked, "But do you need my help?"

Ye Junshu said: "We got separated from His Highness the Fifth Highness."

The scene just now was too chaotic, it's normal to get lost, Lieutenant Liao immediately ordered a few guards to search for someone.

Ye Junshu thought for a while and asked, "Did you see Uncle Li?"

Uncle Li should have been there at the time.

Ye Junshu cared so much about the children that he didn't notice when they separated.

Just remember to hold Li Yu's hand...

Lieutenant Liao said: "The general is not far ahead, you should be able to meet him if you walk a little further."

Deputy Lieutenant Liao led the way ahead and said, "When the officer arrived, the general was on the sidelines rescuing civilians who had fallen in the rush."

If it weren't for the general, I'm afraid the casualties would be even heavier.

The situation at that time was too thrilling, and ordinary people would dare to risk their lives to save others.If one is not careful, one will be trampled on.

Lieutenant Liao was full of admiration.

After hearing this, Ye Junshu and the others felt a little relieved. Since Uncle Li was still able to help the people, it meant that His Royal Highness was fine.

But you still have to see it with your own eyes to be completely at ease.

Deputy Lieutenant Liao knew that General Li was originally with His Highness the Fifth Highness and Ye Junshu, but accidentally got separated, so he said, "The General didn't tell me about this on purpose. But I think it won't hurt His Highness the Fifth Highness."

When Xiahou Xuanjing left, he still left a few guards for Xiahou Bin. Ye Junshu and the others left in a hurry, but those guards didn't follow, and they were still by Xiahou Bin's side.

Ye Junshu and his group soon saw Li Hongying coming out of a store with Jishitang written on it, and they knew it was a pharmacy at a glance.

Li Hongying didn't seem surprised when he saw the group of people. He looked around at the children of the Ye family and found no signs of injury, so he was silently relieved.

"Uncle."

Before they even opened their mouths to ask, Li Hongying said first, "His Highness Fifth is inside."

It won't really hurt, will it?

Ye Junshu was startled, and then quickly figured out how to plead guilty to Emperor Tai'an.

Li Hongying added: "The Fifth Highness is fine." It is someone else who has trouble.

Oh, as long as His Royal Highness is fine, Ye Junshu just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he was half relieved, he suddenly mentioned, His Royal Highness is fine, who is it?Could it be Bi Hua? ? !

Ye Junshu walked in quickly.

There are many wounded patients in the pharmacy, and the doctors and apprentices in the pharmacy are busy looking at the wounds and applying medicine.

When Ye Junshu and his party came in, they saw that everyone was intact, and they just regarded them as the families of the wounded, so they stopped paying attention.

They are so busy now that they don't even have time to ask for entertainment.

Ye Junshu looked around in the lobby, Li Yu said directly to Ye Junshu, "Inside."

Ye Junshu took a look inside and saw the small door on the right covered by a cloth, and went in directly from there.

There were too many of them, and only Ye Junshu, Li Yu and the Seventh Prince entered in the end.

Well, there are also twins held by Ye Junshu and his wife.

The layout of the medicine shop is not small, and there is a yard, the ground is very empty, there are no flowers and trees, it is estimated that it is usually used to dry medicinal materials.

The courtyard is surrounded by a corridor, and the rooms on the side of the corridor are presumably similar to wards, used to entertain special patients.

Walking in the corridor, all they could smell was the faint smell of medicinal herbs.

Ye Junshu and the others walked through the corridor, and then went directly to the door of the room where the guards were guarding the door.

When the guards saw Ye Junshu and his party, they hurriedly saluted. After Xiahou Xuanjing yelled, he went in directly.

The door was wide open, and when Ye Junshu and others entered, they could still hear Wen Bihua's comforting voice.

"Fifth son, don't cry, I'm really fine! The doctor just said that I just need to lie still for ten days and a half months, and I will be alive and well! Really! I don't feel any pain at all! "

Ye Junshu saw that Wen Bihua was lying on the simple wooden bed, and Xia Houbing was sitting beside him, looking at Wen Bihua with red eyes.

Although Wen Bihua's face was a little pale, and his hands were wrapped in gauze, it seemed serious, but he looked energetic.

Xia Houbin had obviously been crying for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen.

When Ye Junshu and the others came in, they didn't even look at it, they just looked at Wen Bihua blindly, with sad eyes, as if Wen Bihua was about to die.

When Wen Bihua saw Ye Junshu and the others, he seemed to see a savior. He sat up and said, "Zi Zhou, are you all right?"

Before Ye Junshu answered, Xia Houbin hurriedly leaned over and pressed Wen Bihua hard on the bed, "The doctor said you can't make any big moves, you have to rest."

Xia Houbin's voice was low and nasal, but she was firm enough to prevent Wen Bihua from getting up again.

Wen Bihua looked at those red rabbit eyes, really afraid that he would cry again, so he obediently lay on his stomach.

Looking at Ye Junshu and Li Yu each holding a child in their hands, with no other expressions on their faces, they knew that the children were all fine.

Otherwise, Ye Junshu, who raised his younger brother as his son, would have exploded long ago.

Ye Junshu walked to the bed, turned his eyes to Wen Bihua and Xia Houbing, and then apologized: "Bi Hua, how are you? What did the doctor say? Sorry, we were too worried about the children, so we didn't notice you for a while." .”

Wen Bihua wanted to wave his hands subconsciously, but when he saw Xia Houbin who was staring at him intently, seeing his hands, he had the tendency to cry again.

He obediently put back the hand that had just been raised, and he smiled brightly, "It's important for the children, I'm fine, I was just stepped on a few times, thanks to Uncle Li."

On the side was Xia Houbin with tears in his eyes, and said guiltily, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, brother Wen wouldn't have been hurt..." He is indeed a burden, he can't do anything well, and he will drag others down...

When Wen Bihua saw his tears, his scalp went numb, and he said with a bitter face: "I'm really fine, don't cry anymore..."

Seeing Wen Bihua's anxious and clumsy comforting Xia Houbing, Ye Junshu felt very meaningful.

Xiahou Xuanjing had already heard the guard's whispered report, and knew that Wen Bihua was now Xiahoubin's savior, so she stepped forward and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Young Master Wen, for saving the fifth brother. I will definitely thank you for your great kindness."

Wen Bihua felt uncomfortable, "You're welcome." Isn't it right to protect my brother?Why do they all act as if he had done a great thing, after all, they got acquainted, so they can't just leave him alone, right?

Wen Bihua felt that the Fifth Young Master was so innocent, he would have ignored him at first, but by chance, he saved him once, and he was very moved.

If someone with a heart wants to lie to him, it's a lie. If someone approaches him with ulterior motives and treats him a little bit better, he will pour his heart and soul out to others. It's really stupid.

Wen Bihua secretly felt that he should remind Ye Junshu and ask his husband to pay more attention to whether there are people with ulterior motives around the fifth son.

The other party saved his fifth brother, so he had to express his concern no matter what. Xiahou Xuanjing greeted Wen Bihua's injury and reconfirmed that there was nothing wrong with him before giving up.

But I remembered it in my heart, and I went back and told my father, the queen, to reward him well.

Li Yu glanced at Xiahou Xuanjing and his brothers, and said calmly: "You should go back." Now that the person has been found, it is not easy to continue to stay outside the palace.

His Majesty and Queen will definitely be worried when they find out.

Xiahou Xuanjing saw that the time was really not early, and it was estimated that the crowding and stampede at the Lantern Festival had already reached the ears of the emperor, so it was really inappropriate to stay outside.

He then said, "Then let's go back first."

Xiahou Xuanjing looked at the twins, and said softly, "Xiaowei, Brother Jing, I'll come and play with you when I'm free."

Although Brother Jing held Ye Junshu with both hands, he still showed his face obediently, "Brother Jing, let's play together next time."

Jun Ye nodded in agreement.

"Fifth brother."

Xiahou Xuanjing looked at Xiahou Bing, motioning for him to go back to the palace with her.

Xia Houbin hesitated for a moment, looked at Wen Bihua, moved his lips, but still did not dare to raise any objections, and lowered his head to walk to Xiahou Xuanjing.

After Xiahou Xuanjing bid farewell to Ye Junshu and his party, he left with Xiahou Bin and a group of guards.

Wen Bihua stretched his neck and looked out, Ye Junshu raised his eyebrows, "Don't look, people are gone."

"Is it really far away?" Wen Bihua confirmed again and again.

Ye Junshu nodded, he smiled playfully, and was about to tease his friend that the peach blossoms were blooming, but the next moment Wen Bihua exhaled exaggeratedly, and then said, "It hurts to death!"

In order not to worry that crybaby, he pretended to be calm and in pain, his whole body hurts!

Ye Junshu: "..."

"Didn't you say it's okay?" Ganqing is pretending in front of it?Ye Junshu changed hands and hugged Brother Jing with one hand, and sat aside.

Wen Bihua gave him a white look, "How many times have you tried being stepped on by someone? I vomited blood!" His whole body hurt from inside to outside, and he was injured internally from being stepped on!

When the chaos broke out, Wen Bihua saw Ye Junshu and Li Yu pushing forward desperately, and subconsciously wanted to catch up, but when he saw Xia Houbing who was standing there, Huarong Yueguang was at a loss, a hero burst out with courage When he came up, he immediately stood by Xia Houbing's side, patting his chest and saying that he would protect him.

Everyone he knew was not around, and Wen Bihua was the only one he was familiar with, and Xia Houbin unconsciously relied on him.

The two were pushed back by the crowd involuntarily.

When the scene became more and more chaotic, someone fell down in front of him. Wen Bihua watched countless people's feet step on that person, and he couldn't stand up even if he wanted to.

If Li Hongying hadn't risked his life to pick up the man and carry him, he would have been trampled to death.The guards who protected Xia Houjue were scattered by the irrational people, and they tried hard to get close to Xia Houjue.

Xia Houbin was pushed and shoved by so many strangers, and he was in a daze. Someone pushed him hard. Xia Houbin lost his balance and fell down. He subconsciously cried out.

Wen Bihua, who was closest to Xia Houbing, saw it, and rushed over to protect him without thinking twice, protecting him firmly with his body.

Fearing that he would be squeezed, Wen Bihua tried to prop up a space with his hands.

Needless to say the consequences, the hand was stepped on from severe pain to unconsciousness, the back was stepped on a few times, directly stepped on the internal injury, and spit out blood.

Xia Houbin, who was below, was so frightened that he cried.

Fortunately, Li Hongying and those guards arrived in time, otherwise Wen Bihua really thought he would be trampled to death.

However, his hands only looked serious, there were no fractures or broken bones, and the internal injuries were not very serious. It will be fine after a month or two of care, and it will not affect him.

Ye Junshu patted Wen Bihua lightly, "It's lucky to have you." Otherwise, if His Royal Highness was trampled, it would be their fault.

In front of his good brothers, Wen Bihua naturally stopped pretending, and frowned, for fear that Ye Junshu didn't know how much pain he had.

Then he inadvertently saw Li Yu standing a few steps away.

Wen Bihua: "..."

He shut his mouth immediately, his face turned red, and his brother-in-law Lang didn't speak, as if he didn't exist. He thought Zizhou and Ye Junwei were the only ones here...

He immediately said solemnly, "I made my brother-in-law laugh at me."

Ye Junshu couldn't help laughing.

Brother Jing couldn't help covering his mouth and giggling.

Li Yu said: "It's okay." Then he went out first with Brother Jing in his arms.

Ye Junwei stretched out his small hand and gently touched Wen Bihua's hand, and asked, "Brother Wen, your hand is so swollen!" It was wrapped like a steamed bun, and it looked so painful!He used to be playful, and when his hand was hit, his little finger became red and swollen, and it hurt so much that he cried for a long time!

Wen Bihua immediately stretched out both hands, looking for comfort and said, "Of course, brother Wen is in great pain! Huhu, Xiaowei, it won't hurt anymore!"

Ye Junwei said with contempt on his face: "Brother Wen is lying to a three-year-old child! Even if Huhu still hurts, you should take the medicine obediently, and the pain won't hurt anymore."

Wen Bihua: "..." So, even if my father is not as likable as my little brother, even a child is not likable.

Wen Bihua lay down on the bed with a slap, his heart ashamed.

Ye Junshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, even though he was injured all over, he still didn't forget to play tricks, really!

"Okay, let's not take other people's place. During the recovery period, you can stay at my house for easy care."

After all, Wen Bihua's injury had something to do with him, and Ye Junshu felt that he should take the responsibility until he recovered from his injury.

Moreover, Wen Bihua's homework must not be missed during this period, and the imperial examination will start in the spring of the next year. After all, the time passes quickly.

If you don't practice calligraphy or write articles for two months, you will fall behind a lot.

If you don't practice calligraphy for a day, maybe it's nothing, but if you don't practice for ten days and a half months, it's hard to get back the feeling.

Even though Ye Junshu is now an official, he has never missed his daily calligraphy practice and writing articles. Every night, he spends half an hour writing in the study room before returning to his room.

When Wen Bihua heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits, "Is it possible? Will it disturb you?"

The reason why Wen Bihua didn't want to go back was not because of his academic problems, but because he was afraid that if he went back with his whole body injured, it would only make his family worry and fear.

If he recuperates with Ye Junshu, he can hide it for at least ten days and half a month, and he will be almost healed by then.

"do not disturb."

While Ye Junshu was speaking, several servants came in carrying something like a stretcher.

"You shouldn't move too much now, just go back like this."

Naturally, Wen Bihua would not try to be brave.

He lay down on the stretcher and was carried back to Ye Mansion.

It's time for Ye Junshu and the others to go back.

Back at Ye Mansion, Nan Rong had already hired a doctor, visited a few children, and prescribed tranquilizing medicine for them to drink, and let them go to rest.

Don't worry about the children at night, especially Brother Jing, who was the most frightened. Both Ye Junshu and Li Yu were worried that he would have nightmares, so tonight Li Yu went to sleep with Brother Jing, and Ye Junshu accompanied Ye Jun.

Originally, Ye Junshu had thought that the four of them would sleep together, but their bed was big enough to accommodate two children easily.

However, this proposal was rejected by Li Yu.

After the age of seven, children must have the consciousness of being a father and a brother, and even close relatives must maintain an appropriate distance. Naturally, such an intimate thing as sleeping together cannot be done.

And the twins are eight years old.

Ye Junshu had no choice but to accept Li Yu's arrangement humbly.

The next day, the children were alive and kicking, and they were not affected by what happened last night. Brother Jing was hugged by his own brother and slept all night. It was so sweet, and he didn't even have a nightmare, let alone a fever. .

For the Ye family, this matter is over.

It's just that there is an extra injury in the family.

But for the court, this was just the beginning.

It has to be said that it is very unlucky for the court and the people that the last day of the new year ended in such a way.

On the first day of the court in the first year of the new year, Emperor Tai'an broke the record.

"... 11 people were killed, 28 people were seriously injured, and 47 people were slightly injured! This kind of thing happened under your noses! Let me ask you, how should you explain to the people!"

Jing Zhaoyin knelt in the middle of the court hall and prostrated himself on the ground to confess his sin: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, it is the fault of the officials..." Jing Zhaoyin confessed his guilt, and after speaking, he couldn't help but argue, "It really happened too much. Suddenly, Xiaguan had tried his best to rush over, but the tragedy had already happened.

The culprits who caused the chaos, those juggling animals have all been executed, but those jugglers are cunning and have escaped in the chaos..." Even if they wanted to catch them, they couldn't find them.

And with only half the night, they didn't have enough time to find someone.

Jing Zhaoyin stayed up all night last night, thinking that he has done his best, and there is hard work even if there is no credit.

"You bastard!" Emperor Tai'an was furious, "How dare you argue even now!"

The officials who were originally quiet and fearful of getting angry suddenly said: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Elder Jiang Ge also came out, and said to Jing Zhaoyin in a cold voice, "The Lantern Festival is a big summer festival, so it is bound to be crowded. And when there are too many people, it is easy to cause chaos.

As Jing Zhaoyin, you are responsible for the maintenance of public security in the capital, and you must not slack off in the face of these grand events.

It is clear that you were negligent in your duties, did not make preventive preparations in advance, and did not manage well on site. When an accident happened, you did not deal with it properly, which led to such consequences! "

The censor at the side also jumped out and condemned: "Mr. Jiang Ge is right. If Jing Zhaoyin hadn't been negligent, there would not have been such a big mistake. Only by punishing the felony can the people be appeased."

A civil official came out and said: "Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin has failed to take responsibility, but the mighty army has exceeded the rules. Lieutenant Liao did not get orders from His Majesty, and did not have orders from the Tiger Talisman. He mobilized the army out of the camp without authorization. Majesty, should be punished together, so as to serve as an example to others."

"No!" Another official came forward to retort, "It was the mighty army who appeared in time to quell the chaos, so that no worse consequences were created. This is a great achievement by the mighty army. How could it be wrong?"

"There is no rule without rules. The mighty army claims to enforce orders and prohibit them, but now they are acting on their own initiative, in order not to take the imperial court seriously..."

"..."

Civil and military officials suddenly quarreled.

Emperor Tai'an frowned tightly, and his expression was even more displeased.

The eunuch on the side got the order and said loudly: "Quiet!"

After the noisy voice stopped, all the civil and military officials immediately returned to their positions, respectfully, as if the person who had been arguing red-faced just now was not me.

Emperor Tai'an glanced sharply at all the officials, and then asked Li Hongying, "Li Aiqing, what do you think?"

Li Hongying came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, extraordinary things are being done in extraordinary times. The mighty army has come out to rescue the people and quell the chaos. I believe in General Liao's judgment. But..."

Li Hongying changed the subject, "The Mighty Army did come out of the camp without orders, provoking the military prestige, disrespecting the imperial court, and the Mighty Army is at the discretion of His Majesty."

Originally, it was not a big problem for the soldiers to leave the barracks.

But who let the emperor's feet here?The capital city is inherently sensitive.

It would have been fine if Lieutenant Liao had only led a dozen or twenty soldiers, but he led an army out. Although this quickly quelled the chaos, it also provoked Junwei on the other hand.

The capital area is not the territory of the mighty army, there are still Yulinjun, Jing Zhaoyin and others!

Although the Mighty Army intervened in this matter with good intentions, it also violated a taboo.

Li Hongying listened to Deputy Liao's explanation later, and he also agreed with his approach in his heart.

When the incident happened, Lieutenant Liao had no intention of intervening when he saw it, but he waited for a long time, but no one from Jing Zhaoyin appeared.

Seeing that the chaos was getting bigger and more victims, Lieutenant Liao couldn't bear it any longer, so he ordered people to rush to the Weiwu Barracks to pull an army out and solve it quickly.

After they calmed down the turmoil, Jing Zhaoyin brought people out.

At this time, the day lily is cold.

As we all know, this Jing Zhaoyin got his seat by relying on his nepotism, but his incompetence is so incompetent that it is really embarrassing.

With such a person, how could the imperial court rest assured to entrust the security of the capital to him?

Therefore, in the end, Emperor Tai'an said, "The mighty army has merit in saving the people, but it is wrong to leave the post without authorization. The merit and demerit are equal. As for Jing Zhaoyin..."

Emperor Tai'an's voice cooled down, "Neglect of responsibility and inaction have caused too many casualties among the common people. Immediately depose Jing Zhaoyin from his position, deprive him of fame, and fine him a thousand taels of silver to comfort the families of the injured and dead."

Not to mention being dismissed, he was also deprived of his fame, which means that he will never be able to serve as an official in the court again!

This was worse than killing him, Jing Zhaoyin subconsciously looked at his in-laws, who knew that the other party didn't seem to know him.

There were many deaths and injuries in the chaos last night. In order to give an explanation to the people, he, Jing Zhaoyin, is the best explanation.Emperor Tai'an had already decided to punish him, so other officials naturally did not dare to pull out the tiger's beard when Emperor Tai'an was furious.

He was given up...

Jing Zhaoyin suddenly collapsed on the ground...
