【Chapter 71】Who knows whether the world is warm or cold

The man quickly lowered his waist and turned around to avoid the attack of the man. He turned around and stood gracefully in the crowd, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and his lips had a faint smile, as if he was mocking.

The man with a stubble face, bare shoulders and sweat all over his body was immediately angered by him and continued to carry the sword and beat the man.

The man was actually not very good at using swords, and his tricks were all random. However, the man had been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child. He said that at that time, the man suddenly bent down at the moment when the man stabbed his sword, and threw his fists out and rushed towards the man's stomach. He then rushed past the man like lightning. He raised his elbow and attacked his back fiercely before the man could react. He slid his feet, and swung his agile circle. After he stood firm, he quickly lifted his long dark shoes and kicked the man's butt.

I only heard the big man who was still clamoring just now, and his huge and heavy body fell to the ground like a weight, like a pool of mud, and could not get up no matter how hard he was.

The man still smiled and gently brushed off the creases left by the fight on his robe, and sneered at the big man: "If you don't have the ability, don't come out to embarrass you."

He continued to stand with his hands behind his back. Although his three punches and one kick just now were not brute force, it could also make the man feel pain and unable to walk normally for five or six days.

The man rested for a while before remembering something, he turned around and walked towards the little boy who had already curled up in front of the alley.

The boy's body was covered with blue and purple scars, and the cloth clothes he wore were scratched in a mess, and his clothes were not covered.

The man bent down at him, preparing to say something, but he saw the boy rolling and crawling backwards, as if he was very afraid of the man in front of him. His clear black eyes were full of fear.

The man lowered his voice and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you."

The boy sat on the ground, with his hands constantly supporting his body and moving backwards, gradually retreating into the alley.

At this time, a pair of white and clean slender hands suddenly stretched out from behind him, and wrapped a red-colored cloak on the boy.

The boy suddenly had a terrified contact with someone and almost jumped up from the ground, but was gently pressed by his slender hands and could not move.

I heard a soft and crisp voice coming from behind me comforting him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all over. No one will hurt you anymore."

The boy was trembling all over, his face turned pale, and he shrank in his cloak without saying a word, looking up at the person who comforted him.

The woman had red lips and pink face, her waist and hair, and her eyes were like a clear spring water, with a light and aura.

The boy seemed to be stunned and gradually calmed down.

Soon, the officials of Zhongdu who were patrolling the east gate saw the crowd gathering here. A group of eight or nine people opened up a way among the crowd, and shouted, "Get out of the way! What's the matter here?"

The crowd was restless again, and someone squeezed towards the alley. The man standing outside immediately entered the alley, guarding Mu Yun and the boy, blocking the crowd coming.

The four officials and officials of Zhongdu worked together to lift the troublemaker down, and then looked at the woman fainting on the ground in the east gate. They didn't know what they were muttering, so they came to the alley.

The official who led the minor official knew the wife of the Dongfu Chief Secretary. Seeing Mu Yun here, he immediately went up and said, "Madam Jiang, why are you here? Did the scenery just now shock you? This family named Sun from Yingyun Lane in the East Gate often went to the streets to make trouble, and they did not change their lessons, which was really difficult to deal with. Today, if you are shocked, your subordinates and others will be punished and will die!"

Everyone in the capital knows that Jiang Chengyi, a popular celebrity around her today, loves her wife Mu very much. And this Mrs. Jiang is also very popular with the Queen of the City. The two met only three times, and it was like they had made friends for many years.

The officials of all sizes and big and small in Luoyang, regardless of whether they can look at Jiang from a poor family or not, will be respectful to Mu for the sake of His Majesty and the Queen.

Mu Yun hugged the thin boy in his arms and said lightly: "I was not scared. But this young man bravely acted and uniformed the man surnamed Sun... He only felt pity for this child, with a pale face and thin skin, and bruises all over his body."

She looked down at the boy, and she rubbed his greasy black hair without hesitation.

At this time, the minor official discovered that there was another person in the alley beside Xue Qing, who often followed Jiang Chengyi.

He glanced at the man, only to feel that his face looked very familiar.

The minor official saw the bloody jade on his waist again, looked at his face again, and immediately guessed his identity. He immediately wanted to pay tribute, but the man froze his movements when he was cold.

The coolness in the man's eyes flashed by, so he narrowed his eyes again, curled his lips slightly and continued to stare at the official.

The official immediately understood the man's intention, stopped the words that were about to blurt out in time, and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Thank you for your righteous actions... It's just that you do business. If you hurt someone, you still need to go to the Zhongdu official Cao Shangshu's mansion to record the confession and put it in the volume and deposit it in the archive."

The man raised his eyebrows gently and squatted at the boy squatting on the ground, saying, "What the little adult said is very true. It's just... what should this child do?"

When Mu Yun heard his question, he looked at the officials with anticipation.

He heard the officials pause for two moments and hesitate: "The great man has never committed a serious crime after all. Although he beat his wife and children... he is only managing housework. All of us officials... cannot be convicted of him."

Mu Yun became angry when he heard this, and then said, "Does all the officials of you have to wait for the man surnamed Sun to kill his wife before he would send him to court and punish him for his evil crime?"

She frowned deeply, hugged the thin little boy tightly, and said indignantly.

He heard his words with some anger. The official seemed helpless and said tremblingly: "Now... even Lord Zhao is here... and I will tell you with the two... the Zhongdu official cannot try such an internal affairs case."

The man standing beside Mu Yun said at this time: "Although the government cannot manage the family affairs of ordinary people, it can convict him by disrupting the order of Luoyang's city walls. The big fuss at the East Gate is enough to make him stay in prison for half his life. Such a simple thing, can't even be the Zhongdu official do? If the man surnamed Sun beats his wife and children like this, one day he will have a life. At that time, the case will come to the Tingwei Mansion. Let's see how your Zhongdu official Cao Shangshu Mansion ends?"

Although he had no room for words, every sentence was true and hit the key point.

After hearing this, the official showed a more helpless expression for some reason and said, "Mrs. Jiang and the young master said it very lightly. It can be seen that the five people from the Sun family in Yingyun Lane are all this troublemaker who is making trouble by making a living by making iron. If his wife and children lose him, it will be even more difficult to make a living in the capital. You two think about it carefully... do you still think that the government can interfere in controlling the person?"

Everyone present understood the meaning of the words. But because they understood, they remained silent and stopped talking.

After a while, Mu Yun still said firmly: "Even so, there is always a way to solve it in this world. Under my Jiang Mansion, there are also fertile fields in Minzhuang. The reason why this child and his mother cannot leave the man surnamed Sun is nothing more than a livelihood issue. Since this is the case, I will settle down. In short, this child and his mother must never return to the Sun family, otherwise they will be beaten, scolded and humiliated throughout their lives, and they will inevitably resent everything in the world in the future."

The official said again: "It is great if Mrs. Ruo Jiang can help. But... Mrs., my subordinates need to talk more. The wife can control this one, but she cannot control the hundreds of thousands of households in Luoyang City. The streets of the city are changing constantly. Today is Sun Dahan from Yingyun Lane causing trouble. Tomorrow, there may be people fighting on the East Street of Fengmen... If Mrs. Ruo Jiang has to take care of each, she will not be able to live this day."

Mu Yun disagreed and said, "Theft and fighting are the responsibility of the Zhongdu officials. If you, Lord Zhao, are unwilling to manage the affairs of your affairs, the Dongfu Office will not mind submitting a memorial and commending Your Majesty to re-select officials. As for the matter of taking in the family left by the prisoners, since the Jiangfu is willing to take in, there is naturally a set of rules, not to let them eat rice in the farm under the Jiangfu. Let them get remuneration through labor, and everything is good according to the rules that the village should have."

She is full of confidence.

The man standing beside her was a little surprised and stared at her in surprise, an inexplicable emotion emerged in his heart.

"This method is very good." The man agreed: "This noble lady, who is also a family member of the capital, is so righteous and honest, which is really admirable."

He respectfully bowed to Mu Yun and said, "Madam, I am not talented, but I have some miscarriage in my family, and I can also help my wife handle the farming affairs. If the wife does not dislike her, I am willing to help her with her."

Mu Yun glanced at him, but just owed to him slightly, without saying anything.

The man then said to the official: "This has solved the worries of the Zhongdu official. Does the little master have anything else to say?"

The official was speechless and didn't know what to argue. Looking at the suppressed man from behind, he lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Jiang and this young master said very much. The subordinates immediately returned to the Zhongdu government and reported to Lord Zhao to decide the case."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to pull the little boy in Mu Yun's arms away.

But the boy was panicked and helpless, and he grabbed Mu Yun's sleeve tightly and refused to leave. He kept shaking his head. After only a moment of calmness, he began to tremble again.

Seeing his heartache and feeling pity, Mu Yun said to stop him and said, "Little adult. This child is young and is frightened by such a beating. I think even if you and your group take him to the Zhongdu government to record oral statements, he still has a reversal of the sentences and cannot say any useful testimony. His mother was beaten and fainted. When will he wake up, it is impossible to say. Why not let this young master and Xue Qing accompany you to the government to record the testimony?"

She pulled the boy back again, held it in her arms and refused to let go.
