This is indeed the case. Originally, the construction of road toilets was also beneficial to all parties.No one wants to see such a situation happen.

"Uncle Hu County, I also know that I was wrong in waiting. If you have to complain, I will accompany you today. But the matter must be resolved, otherwise, Her Royal Highness will not look good at the Queen's place, will it?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Huxian, I will apologize to you later, but you have to find a way! You built this road toilet, so you can't just ignore it like this?"

"Uncle Huxian, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will not leave!"

"Yes, not leaving!"

All the officials are really anxious now, some are soft-spoken, some are threatening, in short, the purpose is to let Li Wangyou settle the matter of the road toilet.

Li Wangyou was overjoyed by this, showing eight white teeth, and smiled at everyone: "Masters, I have a plan, I don't know if you are interested..."

547 I didn't read the almanac when I went out

The morning drum in Chang'an City, no matter it is windy or rainy, will always sound on time to wake up the sleeping people.

Mr. Lu, who lives in Qinrenfang, got up and changed his clothes under the service of the servants and maids in the mansion.He was not in a hurry to eat breakfast, but picked up his precious dove staff, and walked out of his house with the help of servants.

This dove stick bestowed by the government is the darling of old man Lu, and even his eldest son can't touch it.

As an old man in Qinren Workshop, Mr. Lu is used to walking around the workshop after getting up every day, saying hello to his neighbors and accepting compliments from everyone.

The door of the square has not yet opened, but there are already early neighbors who are busy going out.After seeing Mr. Lu, he would bow to him politely.

As the oldest elder in Qinrenfang, Mr. Lu is also used to this.He greeted everyone with a smile, and then continued to patrol around the workshop.

Walking to the road toilet built by Hu Xianbo in Fangzhong, Mr. Lu looked at the two road toilets on the left and right, and there were two big words "men's toilet" written on them, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Although only one toilet on the left is still open on this road, Mr. Lu doesn't care about that much.Those officials want to change the road toilet on the right into a women's toilet, so it is absolutely impossible!

If the government forcibly changed it, Mr. Lu would rather tear down the women's toilet than compromise.

Anyway, as an elderly man, he wasn't worried about what the officials could do to him.Not to mention that the county magistrate of Wannian County is only at the sixth rank, even those high officials in scarlet robes are not polite when they see him?

With the help of his servants, Old Man Lu made it easier to go to the road toilet.

As for the toilet in Boxiu, Hu County, Mr. Lu must admit that it is a good thing.

Since the road toilets were built, the workshop has become much cleaner, and the filthy things in the corners and alleys in the past have disappeared.

Originally, there were people who were too lazy to walk a few steps to the road toilet, and wanted to solve it anywhere as before.But after these people were caught by Marquis Wu in Fangli or the Yamen servants in Wannian County, they were severely punished for sixty battles.

After a few times, the situation of defecating everywhere in the workshop has disappeared.

And with the road toilet, many people in the workshop are unwilling to go to the toilet in their own houses.After all, after using my own toilet, I have to find someone to pick up the excrement. It is really troublesome, and it is far less convenient than walking two steps to the road toilet.

Old man Lu walked out of the road toilet with ease, and was ready to go back home with the help of his servants.He habitually cleared his throat, and then spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

The phlegm had just landed, and two Marquis Wu from the Wuhou shop in Qinrenfang came out from nowhere.

"Stop! Old man Lu, why are you spitting out this filth?"

Old man Lu was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought to himself, I spit, why did I become such a filthy thing?

"You two Marquis Wu, did you get it wrong? The old man just spit out his mouth."

The two Marquis Wu nodded: "Since you admit it, that's fine. The "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" has already clearly stipulated that those who pass through the walls and emit filth will be given a stick of sixty. Isn't this phlegm filthy? Old man Lu, are you Elders, according to the law, the punishment can be reduced by half, but you still need thirty rods. You, an old man with old arms and legs, will definitely not be able to bear it. If so, then fine copper, five catties of copper to pay for the crime, and pay for it."

The regulations mentioned by Marquis Wu refer to dumping garbage on the street and punishing them with sixty sticks.And a fine of five catties of copper is a consistent copper coin.

How can old man Lu be willing to do this?And he felt that he was just spitting, how could he turn into littering?

Immediately, he started arguing with the two Marquis Wu: "Nonsense, the old man is just spitting, how can it be filthy?"

Marquis Wu grinned with a smirk: "Why don't you count? Of course it's filthy! Mr. Lu, I respect you for being an old man, so I'm so polite. If you're stubborn, then I'll go to Wannian County Ya talk!"

"Hmph! Just go! I don't believe that Lu Mingfu can sit back and watch you act recklessly like this!" Old Man Lu said angrily.

A few people argued, which naturally attracted the neighbors in the workshop to watch, and everyone talked a lot, but they didn't dare to say anything more.After all, they are not as old as old man Lu, and they still have a lot of respect for Marquis Wu.

The dispute was so persistent that it really went to the Wannian County Government.As for those surrounding neighbors, someone immediately ran to Old Man Lu's house to report.

This frightened the sons of Mr. Lu's family, and hurried to the county government office with the neighbors.

Qinrenfang and Xuanyangfang, where Wannian County's county house is located, are separated by a street. When Lu's sons arrived, Lu Dejing, the county magistrate of Wannian County, had already ascended to the court and started trial.

As an elderly man, old man Lu didn't need to salute when he saw an official, so he just stood carelessly in the lobby and bowed his hands casually to Lu Dejing.

"Lu Ming Manor, I want you to be the master for me. These two Marquis Wu of Wuhou shop are making trouble out of nothing. They must say that the old man spit, or go through the wall to create filth. They want to beat the old man with thirty sticks or punish him. Five catties of copper! Also ask Lu Mingfu to be the master of the old man, and reprimand these two Marquis Wu who are causing trouble for nothing."

After he finished speaking, Lu Dejing, after sitting on the case, laughed.

"Old man Lu, what you said is wrong. Since you admit that you spit on the ground, it is naturally filthy. What is wrong with these two Marquis Wu? If they turn a blind eye, the master can't help it. , they will be punished instead.”

"What? What, what's this called? The old man has spit up phlegm all his life. How has he ever heard that this is considered filthy? Lu Mingfu, you, you can't be so partial to Marquis Wu." Upon hearing this, Old Man Lu became anxious. up.

Lu Dejing sneered: "Old Master Lu, if he feels that the county favors Marquis Wu, he can go to Yushitai and report on the county. However, a fine of copper or thirty sticks is unavoidable. You can choose for yourself, Old Master Lu."

"You...!" Old man Lu was so angry that he couldn't speak. Ever since he became an old man, has he ever been so angry?

Before he could continue to get angry, he heard someone shouting in the audience: "Admit the punishment, we accept the punishment, and we accept the five catties of copper."

Those who spoke were the sons of old man Lu, they hurried over after hearing the news, they dared not hesitate to hear Lu Dejing's words, and immediately admitted their punishment loudly.

Mr. Lu is in his 70s. Thirty strokes of the cane can directly kill him. How could they refuse to accept the punishment.

Although it hurts to take out the consistent copper coins, it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

Old man Lu's son immediately took out the consistent copper coins from the money purse, and it was regarded as paying the penalty copper, and the matter was settled.Several people carefully helped old man Lu out of the county government office. Old man Lu glared at the gate of the county government office, and habitually wanted to spit again.

But his son was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him: "Father, don't dare to spit anymore, you always have copper coins!"

Only then did Old Man Lu come to his senses, he quickly swallowed the phlegm, stomped his feet in resentment: "Go home!"

The sun had just risen, and he lost a consistent copper coin for no reason. Old man Lu felt that he had bumped into a villain because he didn't read the almanac when he went out today.

But he didn't expect that this unlucky thing was not over yet...

548 Moral saint

With the support of his sons, old man Lu left Wannian County, and was very annoyed to go back to Qinrenfang.

After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the Yamen servant of Wannian County.

"Stop! Who told you to keep to the left? Cars, horses and pedestrians keep to the right, don't you understand this rule? Walking recklessly, but you will have to fight fifty! Old man Lu, as an old man, how can you disobey the law?"

What the yamen servant said made old man Lu's blood pressure soar with anger: "This is the street in the workshop, not the street outside! Why do you say it on the right?"
