Chapter 181 Zhongying’s domineering protector
Although Zhongying came back for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, in fact, like several other generals, he came back to report the situation of border defense this year to Emperor Dongling truthfully.
Mrs. Su had previously said that she would take Su Liluo to the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion to meet with Zhongying before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
As a result, before her departure, there was an urgent military matter in the army, which delayed her departure for several days.
In this way, they missed the meeting before the Queen Mother's birthday party.
Until this moment, she rushed all the way to the palace.
But Zhongying didn't expect that as soon as he entered the palace, he would see the daughter he missed day and night being publicly harassed and threatened to beat her twenty times.
How could Zhongying turn a blind eye?
"Mom...you are back!...Long time no see."
Su Liluo fell in love with her the first time she saw her original owner, her nominal biological mother.
From her appearance to her temperament, as well as her protective attitude, everything made Su Liluo fall in love with her.
She felt this and called Zhongying 'Mother'.
Little did she know that just saying "Mother" almost made the female general in front of her, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, shed tears.
God knows how many times she has dreamed about this 'Mother' in her midnight dreams, but she has never actually heard Su Liluo call her.
In fact, every time Zhongying came back, she would hide in the dark and secretly take a look at Su Liluo. There was also a lot of money in Su Liluo's dowry, which she secretly gave to Mrs. Su.
Otherwise, how could Su Xiang, an old prime minister with a clean sleeves, have so much gold and silver to squander for the original owner.
However, Zhongying specifically told Mrs. Su not to mention these to anyone.
Mrs. Su kept her promise and never revealed the truth to the original owner.
"Hey, Luo'er."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
It is a rare sight to see the resolute General Xiao Zhong's eyes turn red in public.
When the father and brother of the Zhong family saw it, they were not very sad.
Zhongying didn't care how many people were present, and hugged Su Liluo into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"My child, mother is back! No one dares to bully you anymore!"
Entering from the palace gate, along the way, there was already a young eunuch who was coming and gave Zhong Ying a brief summary of today's events.
In Zhongying's understanding, when the road is rough, her daughter's approach to dealing with bullies is right!
As for the crime of lynching in the palace, it also depends on the actual situation.
The Fan family clearly took this opportunity to vent their anger on their scumbag relative, so they used this as an excuse.
Zhongying is not used to them.
Anyway, for so many years, the Zhong family and the Fan family have never dealt with him.
She didn't care if she had to fight against the Fan family again for the sake of her daughter.
After the hug, Zhongying protected Su Liluo behind him, raised his face, looked at the Fan family father and son with cold eyes, and said loudly:
"Young General Fan is so majestic! How dare you encourage the Emperor and the Queen Mother to issue orders to kill those who have meritorious deeds!"
When General Fan was questioned by Zhong Ying, he was not timid and responded: "What does General Xiao Zhong mean by this?"
"what for?"
Zhong Ying raised his sword eyebrows, raised his lips slightly, and said loudly: "General Fan, may he have forgotten that three months ago, a soldier in your army encountered a bully who robbed civilian girls on the street in Chongzhou? He was beaten to death three times in the street.
The bully had a high status in Chongzhou, and his parents colluded with the Chongzhou magistrate. They convicted the soldier of intentional homicide and executed him in the autumn.
It was Xiao General Fan who personally took the people to the Chongzhou Magistrate’s Yamen and rescued them.
At that time, what did General Fan say in court?
Do you still remember? "
"I!"
When General Fan heard Zhongying mention this, his expression suddenly changed.
He was horrified in his heart, that matter had obviously been suppressed, and he even intercepted the report to Du Qicheng.
Why, Zhongying actually knows! ?
Zhongying guessed what he was thinking and smiled clearly: "General Fan, if you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself.
General Fan stood up for the officers and men in the army. Such actions to support justice are indeed an example for us leaders!
Zhongying, you should study more.
However, General Fan must have known that the bully who was beaten to death by the soldiers actually had the status of a civil servant!
According to our Dongling law, soldiers without official titles who beat Juren to death will be sentenced to death!
Why, at that time, General Fan was in court and said categorically that he was a meritorious man who could see the people being bullied by bullies and yet not be afraid of the powerful and act bravely for justice! ?
Now that you have changed to Princess Rui, your tone has changed?
Your cousin has always been misbehaving, using forbidden drugs indiscriminately, and bullying men and women. Today, he took advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to be so frivolous to Princess Roujia, the stepdaughter of the eldest princess. This is really an attempt to bring trouble to the palace. !
To put it more seriously, his behavior is tantamount to conspiracy!
Why, Princess Rui, as the grandson-in-law of the Queen Mother and the princess of Dongling, shouldn't she make emergency arrangements for him in the palace?
Even if it’s no merit, she shouldn’t be said to have done it!
I might as well tell you that if what your cousin did today was caught by this general, I would not only slap him, but I would beat him until his intestines were torn, and he would vomit blood and die! "
"you you!"
General Fan is younger than Zhongying and has not had as much time on the battlefield as she has.
Zhong Ying was a famous female killer in the five countries. When she got angry, she was as powerful as mountains and rivers, and she would immediately beat him to the point where she had nothing to say.
Indeed, what happened today is very similar to what he experienced in Chongzhou. According to common sense, one cannot just discuss the law without talking about emotions.
When General Fan was at a loss for words, Mrs. Luo Guogong, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, took the lead in attacking.
She looked at Zhongying and yelled angrily: "Zhongying! You actually indulge your daughter in this way, it is simply lawless!
Killing for life is a natural principle. Why, she killed my son, but she couldn't even hit twenty big boards? "
"Yo!"
Zhongying turned around, looked at Mrs. Luo Guogong, and sneered: "Old lady, you still know how to kill someone to pay for your life!?
Let me ask you, General: Two years ago, your good son snatched the daughter of the owner of the East Street Tofu Shop into his house, and in just one month, he raped her to death.
Can he pay for this life? ! "
As soon as Zhongying said these words, the whole audience was in an uproar.
She didn't mention it, but everyone had really forgotten that two years ago, the beautiful lady on East Street was brutally tortured to death by Young Master Luo.
Of course, later on, Mrs. Luo Guogong came forward and used money and the power of the Fan family to coerce and induce the woman's parents not to pursue the case again.
Mrs. Luo Guogong's face was even more pale.
"You!...Me!...Wow..."
Stop talking!
Zhongying looked coldly at the already confused Mrs. Luo Guogong with the eyes of an enemy.
Watching her start crying and fussing, lying on Young Master Luo's body, and crying loudly again, he remained unmoved.
If you do too many bad things, you will always be punished.
Zhongying believed that her son died so late that their ancestral graves were already covered in smoke.
At this point, Mrs. Luo Guogong completely lost everyone's sympathy.
Everyone spoke unanimously to plead for Su Liluo, saying that there were exceptions and special cases should be handled. After all, Princess Rui was kind-hearted and would help Princess Roujia.
Some people also say that Princess Roujia might marry into Prince Rui’s Mansion in the future. Princess Rui knew her identity but still helped her, which is really a chivalrous heart...
In short, when Su Liluo's mother-in-law, the general who was eager to protect her daughter, took action, the situation became one-sided.
Emperor Dongling, who was sitting on the throne, remained calm and silent, but his heart was already filled with joy.
Look, he said, now that General Xiao Zhong is here, his daughter-in-law will not suffer the consequences!
