Chapter 715 Where to stay
What?
What did they hear?
Everyone stared blankly at Zhuifeng, their faces full of disbelief!
"You, you, what did you just say?" Li Shimian couldn't finish his words, and then his body trembled.
Zhu Feng stepped forward to support him, and said it again slowly.
"The girl exchanged the secret method of making sugar with the emperor, and the emperor saw the method written by the old man about high-yield crops. He lamented the old man's heart for the country and the people. He pardoned the Li family for innocence, and he can return to his hometown. The old man's family doesn't have to stay anymore In the exile village!"
Li Shimian heard clearly this time, but before he could respond, Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Miao were all crying loudly, ignoring the coldness of the ground, and limp on the ground.
Bai Shi and Shui Shi hugged their children while trying to help them, but they couldn't help them, so they squatted aside and began to cry.
Li Shimian also shed tears, with trembling lips, asking Zhuifeng over and over again: "Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, I'm not old yet."
"I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie to you!"
"The girl has been planning for so many years, but she finally let her wait for the opportunity. Knowing that the emperor moved the capital to build the Forbidden City, and the treasury was short of money, she offered the secret method of sugar making in exchange for the emperor's summons. The girl took advantage of the situation to express her feelings to the emperor, saying that the old man had been taking care of him all these years. The matter of planting high-yielding crops with a family, and leading the exiles in the village and nearby villagers to plant high-yielding crops for the benefit of the people, the emperor was very moved, and agreed to the girl's request on the spot."
ouch...
"My son..."
Ma Shi couldn't stop crying. Her grandchildren always wanted to get rid of their crimes, and put all their energy into thinking that they would not be afraid to offend the emperor by exchanging these secret methods with the emperor.
"Sister Ning..." Li Shimian had tears streaming down his face, murmuring Huo Xi's nickname in his mouth, unable to utter a single word in excitement.
"As soon as the girl got the emperor's approval, she sent the little girl to tell the old man the good news in person. The pardon letter issued by the emperor to Shangyongzhi County may not arrive until the next year."
"Okay, okay..." I've been waiting for more than ten years, so it's not too late.
The whole family cried for a long time before they calmed down. They were so happy, "Is it just our family's crime?"
"You old man!"
Mrs. Ma scolded him, what a risk her sister Ning had taken to exonerate their family! What is this old man thinking?
"I don't mean anything else..."
Zhufeng smiled and said: "I understand what the old lady means. Although the emperor agreed to the **** the spot, he still ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate afterward, and I can't let the girl say what it is."
"The emperor heard that there are several families in the exile village planting crops with the old man, and they were all implicated in the past. The emperor can't just pardon the crimes of the Li family. Let the officials know, it is inevitable to say that the emperor is with the courtiers for money. In exchange, we also investigated the families in the exile village, and I heard that Shao Ji, the former Imperial Academy attendant, was also included in the pardon."
Shao Ji's granddaughter, Dong Chuxue, has gotten along well with the girl these years. Mrs. Dong often brings her children into the mansion to play with the young master.
Ms. Dong's original servant girl Shihua married Tayue and gave birth to a daughter who was as old as Master Yu'er. Only a few days older than his son.
Zhufeng thought of his son, and smiled on his cold face.
"Shao Ji also pardoned?"
Li Shimian was very happy. Now Shao Ji's grandson married his granddaughter, and the two families are in-laws. This pardon saves the whole family from leaving and leaving the granddaughter in the exile village. Is it possible to make them reconcile?
very nice.
When Miao heard this, she couldn't sit still with joy, "I'll tell my in-laws the good news!"
After taking a few steps, he hurriedly stopped, "Father and mother, do you want to go to the dam and talk to Dian Shou and the others?"
"What are you talking about! Now that the clear text has not been issued, can the county magistrate exonerate us? When you get to your in-laws, tell them as well. Just know it yourself, and don't let it slip."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." He ran out of the yard like a wind.
In the evening, when the afterglow faded and the work on the dam stopped, Li Dianshou returned home with his two sons, brother and nephew.
I was very happy to see Zhuifeng, and everyone was stunned when I heard the news that Zhuifeng brought.
Confirmed and confirmed, and when they learned that the news was true, several men cried.
Li Dian accepted Li Dianzang as a grandfather, so he couldn't stop crying.
I thought that I would stay in the exile village for the rest of my life, and my children and grandchildren, regardless of the extreme heat and cold, would have to do hard labor.
Unexpectedly, one day they heard the news that their family was exonerated.
God! Thank you, God, for your compassion, and thank you, the gods of the four directions! Can't help but ask...
"What are you shouting for God! If it weren't for Sister Ning, would we be able to escape the crime? I am afraid that the children and grandchildren of the whole family will stay here forever."
"Yes, mother, I was wrong, sister Ning, uncle will be your cow and horse in the next life!" Li Dianzang just finished speaking, and Ma Shi beat him several times, "What nonsense are you talking about, you are trying to break our Ning Sister's birthday!"
"Mother, I am excited, excited!" I was so excited that I couldn't speak clearly. He is happy.
The whole family forgot to eat dinner, so excited that they didn't know what to do.
"At first, I was worried that Ji'er was in his twenties and a bachelor, so worried that his father and I couldn't sleep. This is great, we can go back to our hometown and find a good relationship again."
When Miao heard this, she also breathed a sigh of relief. The Bai family her Zhi'er married was a good citizen, and the Shui family her Xi'er married was from a nearby village. There would be no such embarrassing things as if they were exonerated and their in-laws were not.
"Father, mother, are we going back to our hometown?" After Li Dianshou was excited, he discussed with his family about the family's future.
"What are you doing back home!" Ms. Miao was very annoyed.
It's not that she looked down on the Li family. As soon as she heard that their family had been convicted, she was anxious to distance herself from them.
If it weren't for fear of doing too much, I would have moved all the graves of their ancestors out.
Li Shimian and Ma Shi also thought of the unpleasant things at the beginning, and remained silent.
If they don’t go back to their hometown, where can they go?
"I can go anywhere, and the emperor didn't say that we can only go back to our original place. The sky and the earth are big, so we can't go anywhere! As long as we don't stay in Shangyong, we can go anywhere."
Li Ji really had enough of this place. This place was his nightmare.
Zhufeng looked at the family and said: "I'm afraid that the girl told you in the letter about your going to stay. When you came, the girl told the little one to persuade you and let you go back to the south of the Yangtze River. What a family reunion.”
Back to Jiangnan?
"Good to go back to Jiangnan! Grandfather and grandmother, let's listen to Sister Ning, shall we go back to the capital?"
Li Ji proposed excitedly. He was born in the capital and spent his carefree childhood in the capital, where everything in the capital was in his dreams.
However, Li Shimian frowned: "Our family was only implicated in the past, and we also suffered such a big disaster. It can be seen that the emperor does not like to see the old ministers of the former dynasty. The emperor is here, I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid that there will be nothing to exchange with the emperor at that time. It's a waste of sister Ning's painstaking efforts.
