Chapter 73 I think so

In the days that followed, Li Shimin led the escort team to assist the Changsun family in resettling the refugees. Wang Yu followed him every day and was also very busy.

When they heard that Mrs. Changsun had repaired Xuanzang Temple, resettled thousands of refugees, and provided food from the Duke of Tang Dynasty to help the refugees, the people were excited. Everyone praised Mrs. Changsun for her kindness and Duke of Tang's benevolence and righteousness. Suddenly, the Duke of Tang's Palace

His reputation for kindness spread throughout Taiyuan.

After other officials, nobles and gentry heard about this good deed, they donated food one after another, devoting their own meager efforts in order to earn a little good reputation.

The housekeeper hesitated and asked Su Wei: "Master, do we also want to donate some food? All the prefectures in the city have donated food. It seems unreasonable that we don't donate even a bag of food."

In the past few days, Su Wei had been waiting for evidence to prove Su Dan's innocence. Unfortunately, it was already the third day and he still hadn't heard any news, making him increasingly irritable and anxious.

The housekeeper bumped into me at this time, and he scolded me: "Why don't you donate? My grandson still doesn't have enough to eat, who will take pity on me?"

"But..."

"But what the hell, get out of here!"

Su Wei yelled, and the butler immediately shut his mouth and left.

"What time is it?" Su Wei looked at the gloomy sky. The third day was about to pass.

The confidant replied: "It's three o'clock in the morning."

The government office is about to go out, haven't you come yet?

That stinky girl, could she have lied to him?

Su Wei's heart sank to the bottom when he thought of this possibility. If she dared to lie to him, he would let her die without a burial place.

A quarter of an hour before leaving the Yamen, snowflakes suddenly began to appear in the sky. At first, they fell one by one, and then fell in large swaths. However, within a quarter of an hour, the ground had been dyed white.

Looking at the white color on the branches, Su Wei's mood became even worse. He stood up and said, "Go to the Duke of Tang's Mansion."

At this moment, the housekeeper hurriedly ran into the yard, breathing heavily and shouting: "Your Majesty..., Mr. Lang..."

Su Wei stared at him: "What's wrong with you?"

"Lang..."

Seeing the butler gasping for air but not speaking, Su Wei was so anxious that he wanted to kill someone and shouted: "What's wrong with Mr. Lang? You should tell me."

The housekeeper was so frightened that his heart trembled, and he suddenly stopped breathing. He said as fast as he could in his life: "Mr. Lang is back."

Su Wei was startled for a moment, then the wrinkles on his face softened, and he said happily: "You're back? Where are you?"

"We just entered the house, we should be here soon." The housekeeper was reporting back when he saw two servants supporting Su Dan and walking into the courtyard gate.

When Su Wei saw his weak appearance, he quickly ordered: "Hurry and prepare hot water and let Mr. Lang take a shower and change clothes first."

Walking closer, Su Dan grabbed Su Wei's sleeve and said feebly: "Weng Weng... I won't go to the military camp..."

Su Wei looked at the snow in the yard and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, it's snowing, there's no need to go."

After Su Dan was settled, Su Wei called the housekeeper: "Su Dan was acquitted. What's going on?"

The housekeeper had already found out clearly, and now he reported back very smoothly: "I heard that the son of Mayi County Magistrate went to the government office to testify. That night, he saw with his own eyes that Zhang Yudie jumped into the lake by himself. Lang Jun just didn't

Just running away after rescuing someone is not a crime."

Su Wei opened his eyes: "Then why didn't he report the crime? And why did he only show up today?"

The housekeeper sighed: "I heard that he drank some wine that night. He originally planned to report the crime, but ended up drunk on the way. I didn't hear about the case until today, and then I went to the government office to explain the situation."

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or...in short, it was such a coincidence that the witness did not show up when he was supposed to show up. After Lang Jun suffered all the pain in prison, he showed up again.

Su Wei felt something strange after hearing this, and told his confidants: "Go and investigate."

The confidant left immediately.

Two hours later, a confidant came back and reported: "The witness's name is Li Derjian, the son of Li Jing, the magistrate of Mayi County. That day he went to Bibo Lake with some friends and got drunk.

"The day before Tang Guogong returned, the Changsun family sent someone to Mayi to pick up Li Derjian. In the past few days, Li Derjian has been living in Tang Guogong's mansion."

Su Wei's face darkened: "So, the Changsun family has known for a long time that Li Derjian is a witness to prove your innocence, but they have been holding it back and only released it today.

"No wonder Wang Yu insisted on negotiating terms with me. It turns out that the evidence has always been in the Duke of Tang's mansion.

"That old boy Li Yuan...ok...ok..."

Su Wei slapped his palm on the table: "This is too much!"

-------

The next day, Mao hour.

Because it snowed heavily all night, Li Shimin came to the indoor training ground, only to find that someone was already training. When he got closer, he saw that it was Wang Yu.

She held a dagger in her left hand and was practicing her skills on a straw man.

That move...oh, he remembered it, it was exactly the move Cheng Zhijie had used.

Judging from her skillful steps, she must have put in a lot of effort, but...

"Why do you practice with your left hand?"

Li Shimin stood beside her. After all, he didn't use his left hand very much, so his movements looked awkward and clumsy.

Wang Yu kept moving and replied: "When practicing martial arts, you must also pay attention to the balance between the left and right. If you are good with your right hand, you must also be good with the left hand."

Li Shimin frowned, thinking of what happened before, he couldn't help but point her out: "Your right hand hurts again?"

Wang Yu didn't speak, but Li Shimin still noticed that her movements had paused just now, and he guessed correctly.

Li Shimin's mood was very complicated. Such a smart child was disabled and suffered from such an inexplicable disease.

Alas, maybe God is jealous of her too.

Li Shimin silently took down the horse stick from the weapon rack, posed in a posture to start training, paused, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a good doctor to cure your illness."

After saying that, he waved his horse with great force, one move at a time.

Wang Yu glanced at him, forced back the emotion in his eyes, raised his dagger and continued to stab the straw man.

After they finished practicing the exercises, they took a bath and changed clothes, and then went to Li Yuan's courtyard with Changsun to treat him to breakfast.

"Let's have a snowball fight later." Wang Yu suggested, putting down the chopsticks in his left hand.

Li Shimin glanced at her left hand and noticed that she only picked up a bird's nest dumpling with her left hand to eat, and then ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge with a spoon in her left hand, leaving the others untouched.

Her food intake has been reduced by more than half today. Is it because she uses her left hand?

Li Derjian immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, you can also build a snowman. Last year I built a snowman that was taller than my grandma."

Because it was snowing and the roads were blocked, he was stranded in Tang Guogong's mansion. The thought of not having to go back to study made him so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Li Yuan said calmly: "You guys go and play, Erlang and I are going to the military camp."

When Wang Yu heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go too."

Mrs. Changsun looked over and said, "You are weak and cannot bear the cold. You are not allowed to leave the house."

Wang Yu's face fell, he pursed his lips tightly, stared at her with big watery eyes, and prayed silently: Let me go, let me go...

Changsun turned away his face and hardened his heart.

Seeing that there was no chance, Wang Yu went to see Li Yuan again: "Tang Gong, I haven't been to the military camp yet, please take me to see it."

In order to show that she was fine, she jumped off the chair and performed a set of punches. After finishing, she patted her shoulders: "Don't worry, I'm wearing thick clothes. I'll wear the fox fur cloak that Sister Zhangsun made for me."

Come on, I guarantee you won’t catch a cold.”

Li Yuan softened his heart and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Changsun looked pale and kicked Li Shimin under the table.

Li Shimin glanced at her, put his fist on his lips, and coughed twice: "Ahem, uh... I think Xiao Yu'er's health is much better now, and there is no problem in going to the military camp.

"Besides, if you stay indoors all the time and don't go outside to feel the cold wind, how can you develop your ability to resist freezing?"

Li Shimin gave Changsun a flattering smile: "Madam, do you think so?"

He could not refute his father's words and could only wrong his wife. Li Shimin felt miserable.

Mrs. Changsun kicked him hard again under the table and shouted to Sang Zhong: "Go and get the new cloak I made for Xiao Yu'er."

This is a promise.

Li Shimin quietly rubbed his calf, enduring the pain and keeping his flattering smile unchanged.

Seeing that Wang Yu was going to the military camp, Li Derjian didn't feel like staying alone in Tang Guogong's mansion, so he also said he wanted to go.

So, a group of people marched toward the military camp outside the city.
