Chapter 735 Beg to call the shots
"I beg Mrs. Shizi to make the decision for me!"
"Please have mercy on Mrs. Shizi!"
Dozens of common people rushed up to stop Huo Xi's carriage with one voice after another.
Before the carriage reaches the gate of the mansion, there is still some distance, so it cannot go forward. Zhu Feng waited for the guard Hengdao to stop in front of the carriage, and the footsteps of the people rushing up only paused, but they didn't stop talking.
"What happened?" Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Huo Xi got off the carriage.
The voices in the crowd became weaker, and everyone raised their eyes to look at Huo Xi, and then knelt down one after another, begging her to be the master: "Madam Shizi, have mercy."
"Everyone get up and answer, you block the way like this, our wife doesn't know what to ask!"
Seeing a woman kneeling up to catch Huo Xi's skirt, Xiang Cao hurriedly stepped forward to push it away.
Being blocked by dozens of people, Huo Xi raised his eyes to look at the gate of the mansion, only to see that the gate of the mansion was closed tightly, and even the two guards were gone.
Instead, there was a feeling of relief in my heart.
Waiting for Jun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to make moves every day is quite tiring.
"What do you want, please speak slowly. I'm new here, and I can't tell the difference between the south, the north, and the north. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."
The old woman who was pushed aside by the vanilla came up on her knees again. With a miserable look, she grabbed the hand of the 17-year-old girl next to her and looked up at Huo Xi.
"Madam Shizi, please take pity on us. My man and my son died fighting with the Mu family army. Now there are only two grandsons left, and the daughter-in-law has run away. The little grandson is lying on the bed half dead. The family is divided. The money for the medicine is gone, and I am so poor that I can't live any longer!"
Wiped away tears, "If my grandson is dead, why not I will lead this granddaughter to find their grandfather and father together."
The more he talked, the more sad he became. As soon as he finished speaking, he would hit his head on the ground, and was kicked over by the wind, and fell to the ground.
"Grandma!" The girl hurried to help her up.
"Why is Mrs. Shizi still beating people!"
"Mrs. Shizi hit someone!" "Beat someone!"
"What nonsense, my man didn't even kick her! It's foot wind, foot wind, do you understand!" Seeing everyone accusing Zhu Feng, Vanilla angrily came up to argue.
Huo Xi frowned, seeing that the woman was fine, she quickly searched the crowd for the few people who had just shouted, and gave Zhufeng and the others a wink.
The booing people saw this and wanted to run away, but were dragged out by Zhufeng, Qiansan and Kunsi.
"Who are you? What can I ask for?" Huo Xi looked at those men.
"We, we..." Several people faltered and faltered.
One person stuck his neck and shouted loudly: "Mrs. Shizi came to Yunnan from the capital. Naturally, she has the emperor's order in her body. She will definitely make decisions for us!"
"Yes, Mrs. Shizi wants to decide for us!"
"What Lord?"
"Of course it is to give us a reissue of the military noon and sympathy money! Our family is almost unable to survive, you go in and out, return the rich clothes, and call the servants! Are you worthy of the blood our family left for the Mu family!"
"Yes, yes, give us a replacement military noon and pension!"
The crowd was mobilized again, the voice sounded again, and Huo Xi was surrounded again. It wasn't until Zhufeng and Gansan drew their swords that the crowd fell silent.
"Everyone, I have just entered Yunnan, so I don't know anything about it yet. I don't know anything about the fact that we women are not allowed to interfere in the military affairs. How about this, why don't you all follow me into the mansion and explain the situation in detail in the mansion, that's fine. Discuss a solution?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out if we go in!"
"Yes, don't go in! Don't think about what the former does and the latter! Just say it here!"
"Yes, just say it here!"
Huo Xi looked at the man with the loudest voice: "Who are you, and what do you want?"
The man was overwhelmed by Huo Xi's questioning and couldn't come up with anything. Seeing Zhu Feng approaching him with a knife, he hurriedly ran away, and a few who shouted loudly also ran away. Only then did the voices of the people surrounding Huo Xi gradually decrease.
At this time, the door of the mansion was quietly opened a crack, and a young servant poked his head through the crack, Huo Xi frowned.
stepped forward to help the old woman up, "Old man, if you want the matter to be resolved, you must first let me know what happened, right?"
The voice is soft and comforting.
"I thank you for your trust, and asked me, the wife of the eldest son, to be the master for you, but I have only entered Kunming City for two days, and I don't understand everything. You want me to solve it immediately, which is a bit difficult. Why don't you talk to me carefully? If you have anything to ask, I will order someone to write it down first, and I will solve it for you after I understand it clearly?"
The old woman took a look at Huo Xi, probably because she saw that she did not appear to be superior, her complexion softened.
Then he told Huo Xi about the matter.
The old woman's man and two sons were fighting with the Mu family army and lost their lives. He has never received a pension from the imperial court, and has gone to the army and Mu's house to ask for it several times, but he didn't get much. When my grandson was seriously ill again, I dragged my granddaughter to the door to beg for it.
After Huo Xi finished listening, he asked the people around him, and he was relieved when he learned that the situation with the old woman was basically the same.
He ordered someone to write down their situation one by one, and asked Vanilla to give them some silver one by one.
"You guys take it for emergency first. After I go back to the mansion to understand the situation, I will solve it for you. If I can't solve it, I will write a letter to my husband and explain the reasons to him in detail. I will help you when he comes back." solve."
"What if the prince can't solve it for us?"
"That's right, how many times have we come here, and every time they prevaricate us. Just let us wait."
"Yes! Since we are here today, we won't leave. Mrs. Shizi, let's go to the mansion to find out the situation. We will wait for Madam at the door."
No one left.
It was the old woman who got a few taels of silver from Huo Xishang for her grandson's medical treatment, and helped to say a few words: "Mrs. Shizi just came, let's give Mrs. Shizi some time. We will come again tomorrow."
"No, we'll just wait here. We can afford it!"
Huo Xi persuaded with a smile: "Everyone, my husband and I originally lived in the capital. Because of the chaos on the border, he went to Yunnan to quell the chaos. He is driving the enemy at the border to protect everyone's homeland. All of you have relatives who serve as court officials. Those who have served their lives should understand the heart of serving the country and the people. How about giving me some time?"
Everyone was persuaded by her and looked at each other, "Okay, let's trust Mrs. Shizi once. We will come back tomorrow."
The crowd dispersed like water, and seeing the old woman walking away holding her granddaughter's hand, Huo Xi stood there for a long time before turning around and entering the mansion.
Just stepped on the steps in front of the mansion, saw the doorman hurried over to explain: "There are too many of them, and there are only two of us, the gate can't stand it..."
"All the guards in the mansion are gone? Everyone is dead!" Vanilla is still as pungent as ever.
Their wife has only been here for two days, and the mansion does not come out, so many people surround their wife, and the door is closed. Bullying their wives doesn't have a family in Kunming!
Very angry, his eyes scratched the boy.
"Aunt Jun is not in the mansion?" Huo Xi asked him.
"Here! The eldest lady is also here." The boy didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Huo Xi didn't want to argue with him, so he nodded and walked into the house.
