Chapter 298 Friends Are All Safe and Explore the Way at Night
Lu Fang felt bitter. Lu Yao and Lu Qing, who were standing nearby, saw Ji Mo and heard the conversation. The two brothers came up together, looking eagerly at Ji Mo and then at Lu Fang.
Lu Yao said: "Second brother, can you ask your friend for help..."
Lu Fang understood immediately, nodded to his brother, turned around and looked at Ji Mo anxiously.
"Brother Ji, I know our request is unreasonable, but, can I trouble you to go to the women's prison next door to see my mother and my sister-in-law."
Lu Yao and Lu Qing also stared at Ji Mo expectantly.
Ji Mo hurriedly comforted them, "Don't worry, Yaoguang is gone."
The three brothers then all breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Qing even lowered his proud head, as if he had grown up overnight, and sincerely thanked Ji Mo repeatedly.
Lu Yao and Lu Fang even bowed to Ji Mo through the fence.
Ji Mo avoided it and hurriedly stuffed the things in his hand into the partition.
"Okay, time is limited. These are what Yaoguang, Gu Qing and I prepared temporarily. There are medicines, some long-lasting food, and quilts. Everyone, use them for now. We will find a way to send them later. Don't worry, the same goes for the women's prison. Yaoguang has sent them."
Looking at the things stuffed into their mouths, the three brothers couldn't help but feel their eyes getting hot.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but at a time like this, how can they not be moved by a little bit of help in times of need?
Thousands of words were transformed into thanks from the third brother. Even the illegitimate sons of the noble family who were behind him and did not dare to step forward looked at Ji Mo with gratitude.
After all, Lu Yaosan's legitimate children are not bad people, and they are also very good to his illegitimate children. In the current situation, there are their legitimate children and naturally there are also their illegitimate children.
Ji Mo kept working as he gave some instructions to Lu Fang and the others, reassuring them not to worry about what was happening outside and that he would find a way to rescue them. However, he did not expect that Lu Yao and Lu Fang's attitudes were the same as Fang's. They all did not want to drag down their friends. They had the same idea.
"Brother Ji, we appreciate your kindness, but the matter between the Shen and Lu families, and the attitude of the person above, is definitely not something you and I can interfere with. It's all because of my Lu family's bad luck and the injustice of the world. Brother Ji, you can come here today, and we brothers are very grateful. Otherwise... forget it."
So many court officials did not speak for them, and not even one of their former relatives and friends, those who had been clinging to the Cheng'en Mansion, stood up for them.
Brother Ji is very young, and they have only known each other for a short time. Even if he tries his best, how can he change the current predicament? So forget it. There is no need to drag him down.
There was only one thing. The Lu brothers were just like their biological mother. They shamelessly asked Ji Mo to collect their father's body. Ji Mo agreed without hesitation and told them not to worry.
As for the Lu brothers' disheartened feelings, Ji Mo was the same as Li Yaoguang. He did not say anything but kept the decision deep in his heart.
Hearing the familiar footsteps coming from the prison corridor opposite, Ji Mo knew that Yaoguang was probably done, so he did not stay any longer. He told the Lu brothers that if they had anything to do, they would go to see Uncle Ni and he would come back in a few days. After saying goodbye, he left the male prison and reunited with Li Yaoguang. The two were led by Uncle Ni and successfully got out of the prison, avoiding the heavy guards. What they did not know as they hurried away was that right behind them, on the second floor of the prison, Mother Shen was holding the large and small bags sent in by the imperial guards, and there was finally light in her eyes.
Mother Shen looked at the children hugging each other with a firm expression.
"Don't be afraid, children. You see, it's not that no one remembers us. Justice and truth are in people's hearts. Your grandfather, father, uncles and brothers, they did not sacrifice in vain, their dedication and their efforts were not in vain. The King of Dajing does not remember the loyalty of the Shen family, and the court has forgotten the Shen family's dedication. It doesn't matter. The people remember! Millions of people in Dajing remember every drop of blood our Shen family shed for Dajing, the royal family, and the court, and every life we fought for! The people of Dajing know our injustice and shame even more. As long as we live for one more day, no matter how foolish the king is, and how he turns the world upside down, we, the Shen family, are not afraid, and the backbone of our Shen family will not bend."
"Yes, mother (aunt), I have remembered it all!"
At the same time, after being out of the prison and waiting for safety, Li Yaoguang told Ji Mo about the request made by the wife of Duke Cheng'en in the prison.
Knowing that the other party wanted him to help collect the body of Lord Cheng'en, which was the same thing that the three Lu Fang brothers had asked him for, the two of them hit it off and decided to go overnight to find out where the body of Lord Cheng'en was. If possible, they could do both things at once.
However, the trip was not smooth. Ji Mo led Li Yaoguang to find a patient he had treated before who was in charge of the palace's internal affairs. From him, they learned that Duke Cheng'en's suicide in court had touched the emperor's reverse scale. The current emperor was extremely angry and ordered the body to be dragged to the entrance of Hongwu Hall, which was the only way to show it to the public. No one dared to move it. All the court officials were frightened by the tyranny of the emperor.
"Doctor Ji, I shouldn't refuse to help you in the middle of the night, but Doctor Ji, it's hard for me! It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that, alas! I have a family to support, and I don't dare to put my life and property on the line. I hope you can understand and forgive me, and don't make it difficult for me."
The other party looked very embarrassed, and Ji Mo naturally understood that it was not good to ask someone to do something for you and make it difficult. After thinking about it, he took out a Yama Order from his sleeve and handed it over personally.
"Sir, I know that this is difficult for you, but it is precisely because of this difficulty that I ask you for help. No one else can help except you. Don't worry, I will not make it difficult for you. All I ask is that you will only give me a call when the higher-ups are willing to deal with the body of Lord Cheng'en.
"I have already promised my friend, so I cannot break my promise. Please be lenient and raise your hand. I'm sure you know the purpose of this order. If you agree, I will reward you with this order. How about it?"
That would be great, of course. Everyone in Dajing knew the value of the Yama Order, especially people like them. The older and more powerful they were, the more they feared death. Holding a Yama Order in their hands was like having an extra life in their hands!
What's more, this order was delivered and promised personally by this miracle doctor who was the most difficult to talk to and had the weirdest temper.
If he doesn't accept it, wouldn't it mean that he thinks his life is too long?
Besides, all the other party wants is news.
It is said that when a person dies it is like a light going out. No matter how angry Your Majesty is, the person is dead and everything will disappear. Even if it is cold today, the corpse will still stink no matter how slowly it decomposes!
The emperor's move was only to intimidate the court officials. I think His Majesty will deal with it soon, so... I might as well do him a favor.
The man decisively extended his hand and said, "Okay, since this is what Divine Doctor Ji wants, I will do my best."
Seven days after this person agreed, just when Li Yaoguang could no longer bear the anxiety and wanted to sneak into the palace at night to take action secretly, they finally got the exact news from the other party.
