The next day, Lu Changgen was escorted through the streets by officers with a sign on his body, and his confession sign hanging on his body. When they saw the crime on the sign, many people even threw vegetables at him.
leaf.
Not only was Lu Changgen severely beaten, he was also exiled to the southern quarry to do hard labor. The two elders of the Lu family were extremely anxious, but they could not guard Lu Wenqin in the city. So they went to Qingyun Academy to find Lu Wenzhi.
Although Lu Wenzhi didn't want to care about this matter, he was afraid that his grandparents would cause trouble in the academy, so he told them that his father had returned to Izumo Villa.
So, the two elders of the Lu family inquired about the location of Izumo Villa and found the Izumo Villa.
Ever since Lu Wenqin heard that his brother had been arrested, he expected that his parents would find him.
He did not let his parents enter the villa and met them directly at the entrance of the villa.
"Wen Qin, help your brother quickly." Mother Lu saw Lu Wenqin walking out of the villa and said to him quickly.
Lu Wenqin walked over, first called: "Father, mother" and then said: "I can't save him."
Not to mention that he couldn't save him, even if he could save a big brother like that, he wouldn't know how to save him.
Mother Lu grabbed his arm and said: "Why can't we save him? He was arrested because of your master's family. Please go and beg your master's family to let her go to the Yamen and say that your brother is not to blame.
Wouldn't it be enough if the people from the Yamen let your brother go?"
Father Lu said solemnly: "Wen Qin, that's your brother. You can't watch him being exiled to the south to do hard labor." He heard that people who were exiled never returned.
of.
His parents were too naive. How could Lu Changgen be let go so easily?
Lu Wenqin took a deep breath and said: "My brother did such a thing, what shame do I have to go to the master's family? Besides, my brother was not arrested by the master's family. It was the emperor who thoroughly investigated the rumors.
That's why people arrested the eldest brother. Even if the master goes to the Yamen and asks someone to let the eldest brother go, the people in the Yamen will not pay attention to her. Only the emperor can make the decision in this matter. Your son, I am just a man who can no longer take the imperial examination.
The talented scholar cannot even see the Emperor, let alone be able to ask for help from the Emperor."
"Your Majesty..." Mother Lu cried, slapping her thighs, "Then what will your elder brother do? Didn't he just say a few random words? Why am I going to be exiled? My poor Changgen'er!"
Lu Wenqin frowned, closed his eyes and said nothing. What he couldn't stand the most was his mother being like this. It was obviously Lu Changgen who had done something wrong, but now that he was punished, he became pitiful.
"Wen Qin, isn't there anything we can do about your brother's matter?" Father Lu asked with a bitter face, looking at Lu Wenqin.
"Yes." A female voice suddenly sounded from behind Lu Wenqin. When he turned his head, he saw Zhiqiu walking down the steps.
"Zhiqiu?" Lu Wenqin looked at her with confusion, wondering why she said yes? Could it be that she also wanted to beg his wife for the brother who ruined his life?
Thinking of this, Lu Wenqin felt very depressed.
Mother Lu stopped crying, looked Zhiqiu up and down, and asked quickly: "What can we do? Girl, please tell me." After saying that, she glared at Lu Wenqin and said: "You also said that there is no way to save your brother, other girls are like
Yes, in my opinion, you are a heartless person and you just don’t want to save your brother."
Zhiqiu smiled and said, "The way is for you two to ask the emperor in person."
"Shall we go and beg the Emperor in person?" Mother Lu looked at Father Lu, then looked at Zhiqiu and said, "Then can the Emperor see us?"
To them, the emperor was a god in the sky, not something they could see even if they wanted to.
Zhiqiu said seriously: "You go to the palace gate and kneel for eight or ten days. Maybe the emperor will be moved by your love for his son and make an exception to see you. Isn't it okay to meet you?"
Have you begged the emperor in person? As for whether the emperor will spare your son, it depends on your luck. Of course, if you do this, you may be regarded as troublemakers by the officers and soldiers guarding the palace gate before you even meet the emperor.
Caught."
"This..." The two elders of the Lu family looked at each other, and Mother Lu said, "What are you doing? We can't do it."
