Chapter 455 Good Days

But while eating, the young man suddenly started crying.

The tears couldn't stop falling, and even from sobbing at first turned into wailing later, and I couldn't stop it.

"What's going on?" Zhao Sanlin was startled, but when he saw the other person crying while stuffing the salt-and-pepper sesame cake with mutton into his mouth, he immediately became mischievous, "Could it be that this sesame cake with mutton is so delicious that it makes you want to cry?"

"Yes, it's delicious." The young man calmed down a little, wiped the tears from his face, and then said, "I really want to cry."

"In the past, my family was so poor that we had to wait for many days to have a meal of white flour steamed buns. Now I can eat white flour every meal and even mutton-filled sesame cakes. It feels like a dream. I just can't help it..."

Zhao Sanlin fell silent when he heard this.

In the past, Zhaojiazhuang was indeed very poor.

And now Zhaojiazhuang is truly living a good life.

If he thinks back on all the hardships and difficulties he had experienced in the past, not to mention his younger generations, even he himself would sigh and feel deeply moved.

Zhao Sanlin didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he just patted him on the back and said, "Since you think your life is good now, then live a good life and make it better."

"Yes!" The young man nodded heavily with tears in his eyes, "Our Zhaojia Village is now blessed by the Bodhisattva, and we will definitely live a better life!"

Zhao Sanlin smiled.

In fact, he didn't particularly believe in ghosts and gods. He felt that even if there were gods and bodhisattvas in this world to save all living beings, there were so many suffering people in the world, how could they take care of them all?

But if you think about it carefully, the words "Buddha bless you" are probably true.

Isn’t Madam Xia a living Bodhisattva to their Zhaojiazhuang?

The family had already offered a longevity tablet to Madam Xia. After he returned, he would still follow the daily rules and burn a stick of incense for her...
-
More than ten days passed in a flash.

The messenger rode as fast as he could to get there, and then rode back as fast as he could, successfully bringing back the reply from the head of the Cui family.

Cui Wenshuo received the reply letter and opened it to read it carefully.

The letter was short but concise, responding to and addressing all the questions Cui Wenshuo raised.

When Cui Wenshuo saw that everything written in the letter expressed his agreement, and that the letter ended with a reminder to take care of his health and gave him the authority to act as he saw fit, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

As expected, he is the one who is most trusted and respected by his father, and will be the one who can shoulder the responsibility of the entire Cui family in the future.

Cui Wenshuo felt extremely relieved and placed the reply letter on the candle flame and set it on fire.

Then he sent a letter to the army, asking An Lei Ting to meet again the next day.

The two met in a very low-key manner and reached a deeper consensus again.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Heming re-examined the case of An Jingzhong's brutal murder of Cui Wendong.

Cui Wenshuo went to the court in person and provided new testimony.

That night, Cui Wendong did have an argument with An Jingzhong, but An Jingzhong was very humble and apologized repeatedly. On the contrary, Cui Wendong relied on the fact that he was a son of the Cui family to be arrogant and unyielding. When he was emotionally excited, he even snatched An Jingzhong's sword with the intention of intimidating him. However, he never expected that he could not stand steadily after being drunk, and staggered to the ground. The sword in his hand pierced his body and he died from excessive blood loss.

The people in Cuiyan Tower also changed their testimonies to what Cui Wenshuo said, proving that Cui Wendong died accidentally and was not killed by An Jingzhong.

With all the evidence, Zhang Heming could not say anything more and could only release An Jingzhong without guilt. Thus, An Jingzhong, who had been in prison for more than ten days, was finally able to see the light of day again.

Having stayed in this dark dungeon for more than ten days, An Jingzhong suffered a lot even though he was held in solitary confinement, which left him with lingering fears.

But he could not help feeling proud of being able to get out smoothly, and he just acted like a Japanese military commander and ordered the runners who were taking him out around.

Before leaving, he spat on the ground, pointed at the jailers and shouted, "I'll take note of you guys!"

"It is our honor to be remembered by Master An." The leader smiled playfully, but there was something else behind his words. "But Master An may remember us, but I hope he won't come to visit us again in the future."

"But if Master An really likes this place, it's fine if he insists on coming back to visit. We can prepare good wine and food for him then."

Is this a curse on him?

An Jingzhong gnashed his teeth in anger, "You..."

"Farewell, Master An." The jailer still said this with a smile, then turned around and walked away.

An Jingzhong was so angry that he was fuming.

With so much anger in his belly, An Jingzhong had no place to vent it, so he could only glare at Lu Qiyan fiercely, "Why are you here?"

"The commander of the wing sent me to pick you up." Lu Qi said calmly, "I am just following your orders."

"Look at you, if my father hadn't sent you, would you not want to come?"

Lu Qiyan did not answer.

It's the default.

An Jingzhong gritted his teeth again, pointed at Lu Qiyan again and again, and said viciously, "You are a brave boy!"

Then he jumped on the horse, whipped it and rode away.

Lu Qiyan had no choice but to follow with his men.

Although the case concerning An Jingzhong has been closed and he is no longer involved in any murder lawsuits, this is ultimately a solution to cover up the truth. As for the real situation, everyone knows it.

In order to avoid the uproar caused by An Jingzhong's sudden return to the army, and to make An Jingzhong restrain his temper, An Leiting decided to let An Jingzhong live outside for a period of time.

The place where they live is a farm in the suburbs. Although it is a bit old and shabby, it is still spacious.

An Leiting even prepared some guards in advance to watch over and protect him.

An Jingzhong was naturally very dissatisfied with this arrangement, "I want to go see my father!"

"This is an order personally issued by the commander of the wing. Young Master, please close your eyes and reflect on your mistakes for several months." Lu Qiyan said, "During this period, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard. You must also learn military tactics and practice martial arts. Otherwise, you will be punished according to military regulations!"

"I am responsible for this matter. If you insist on going against the commander's wishes, then I will have no choice but to be rude to you."

While Lu Qiyan was speaking, he glanced at An Jingzhong.

An Jingzhong had been "taught" by Lu Qiyan for several months and knew how ruthless Lu Qiyan was. He did not dare to say anything more at this time. He just glared at Lu Qiyan fiercely and strode into the yard.

Lu Qiyan was very satisfied with this, and ordered the guards in the yard, "I still have to report to the commander of the wing. You need to take good care of the young master and don't let him step out of the yard. Otherwise, you will be held accountable!"
