Isn't Ying Huaizhen a good guy in Taizhou, how could he come to Qizhou, a hundred miles away, with a strange man? This has to start with an incident two days ago.

Ying Lanfeng took over a public case, which was a case of two young children who were jealous and fought to death, and the peculiarity of this case is that these two men are not locals, they both came from other places, and when they lived in the inn, they did not agree and then used force, which caused death.

The incident happened under Ying Lanfeng's system, and it was naturally his duty to open a court to ask about the case, question the perpetrators, interrogate all kinds of people, etc., and record the confessions one by one, the ins and outs of this matter are clear, Ying Lanfeng was in a good mood, and was about to give a verdict, but he saw the house slave Zhaocai beckoning to him on the side of the court.

Ying Lanfeng knew that there was something wrong, so she had to postpone the interrogation, came to the back hall and asked about the clues, and said, "Young master, do you want to sentence this Guo Jizu to death?"

Zhaocai was originally not called by this name, but at this moment the two servants in the county government, the older one is called Zhaocai, and the younger one is Jinbao, plus two maids: Ruyi, auspicious...... The names of these four are all changed by Li Xianshu and Li Niangzi, and it is said that they are auspicious.

Zhaocai followed Ying Lanfeng to Taizhou from Ying Gongfu, and he watched Ying Lanfeng grow up from childhood to adulthood, and he was also Ying Lanfeng's confidant, so Ying Lanfeng still had some respect for Zhaocai, and after hearing this at the moment, although he was a little displeased, he still said: "What?

Zhaocai shook his head and said: "Young master, I see that you really don't remember, have you forgotten that this Guo Jizu has something to do with our house? ”

When Ying Lanfeng heard this, his mind turned, and he was suddenly startled, and said in a lost voice: "I still think this name is a little familiar, could it be that this Guo Jizu is the one of Mrs. Fuli's mother's brother?"

When Zhaocai saw him remember, he couldn't help but smile and said, "But it's not him? There is a mole on the left side of his face, which I recognize at a glance...... Young master, this is a relative of Madame's side, if you sentence him at this moment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the house to explain. ”

Ying Lanfeng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, although he had been out of the house for more than four years, after all, the Ying family was his origin, and he had been taught by his grandmother since he was a child...... knows his mother's temperament very well, if he sentences Guo Jizu in this matter, he is afraid that his mother's side will not only be greatly offended.

Ying Lanfeng thought that this was a simple case, like a knife cutting tofu, which could not be said, but he didn't expect to kill his relatives halfway, and he was instantly depressed, and he was about to sentence Guo Jizu ruthlessly...... I was really afraid that it would be difficult to explain after responding to the house, so I thought about it, so I had to delay it for a while, and put Guo Jizu in prison, and let him think twice before deciding.

Ying Lanfeng retreated, sullenly came to the backyard, and heard the laughter in front of him, it was a childish voice, Ying Lanfeng followed the sound, only to hear the lark-like laughter, and said: "Big ingots, what are you running?" Another boy's voice replied: "You can hit me, don't pinch my face, my mother will ask, I don't know how to answer her." ”

When Ying Lanfeng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, knowing that his daughter Ying Huai was really playing with Zhang Zhen, the little master of the Zhang family, he simply slowed down his pace, and listened attentively, only to hear Ying Huaizhen sneer, and said, "How do you say this?" Zhang Zhen said: "I can't lie, the last time the nurse saw my arm broken, my mother lost her temper, I almost couldn't hide it." Ying Huaizhen said: "Last time you cut your arm, you were too stupid, who let you hide in the rose bush, the flower branches are thorny." Zhang Zhen said: "I see that the flowers are blooming well, where do I know that there are thorns." ”

Ying Huaizhen laughed, and didn't know what she did, so she heard Zhang Zhen screaming like a pig, Ying Lanfeng listened to it happily behind the flowers, and was afraid that something would happen to the little master of the Zhang family, so he hurriedly stepped out, and saw Ying Huai really reaching out and rubbing Zhang Zhen's little face.

Ying Lanfeng's heart was relieved, and he coughed deliberately, and said, "Zhen'er, what are you messing around!"

When Ying Huaizhen saw him appear, he let go of his hand with a smile and said, "Dad, look at the big ingots, you are also timid." ”

Ying Lanfeng looked at Zhang Zhen, looked at the fat little face that was rubbed red, and was about to laugh, but he felt that this was not good, so he held back, and only said: "Yuanbao is a boy, so he naturally wants to let you, but how can you bully him like this?"

Ying Huaizhen pouted, and Zhang Zhen had already rushed to speak: "Uncle, uncle, I'm willing to bully my sister!"

Ying Huaizhen turned his head to look over, Zhang Zhen's face was red, and he stammered and said, "No, I said it wrong, my sister didn't bully me...... We're joking. ”

Ying Lanfeng was slightly stunned, looked at Zhang Zhen's red face, laughed thoughtfully, turned to Ying Huaizhen, and said, "You see how sensible Yuanbao is...... You...... Don't just mess around with people who like you. As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and gently touched Ying Huaizhen's forehead, and said with a smile: "Be careful that one day he runs away and disappears." ”

Ying Huaizhen originally smiled, but when he heard this, his face changed slightly, and he didn't make a sound.

Zhang Zhen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I won't be gone, I have to accompany my real sister, I'm afraid that she won't like me...... Drive me away......"

Ying Lanfeng raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhang Zhen's nervous and shy face, and saw that Ying Huaizhen was a little distracted, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really ...... Living together for a long time, the two little ones have no suspicion to guess......"

Ying Lanfeng saw that the two children were having fun, and he didn't want to stand here to hinder them, plus he still had a difficult "official business", so he told the two not to fight, chuckled twice, and left.

In the garden, Zhang Zhen saw that Ying Lanfeng had gone, and only then did she resume her previous life, and seeing that Ying Huaizhen was silent, he was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he pulled her sleeve: "Sister, let's still play hide and seek, right?"

Ying Huaizhen listened, tilted his head to look at him: "Don't play, you are so stupid, what if you still want to hide in the rose bush." ”

Zhang Zhen said: "It's okay to hide there, you know where I'm hiding, and you'll find me earlier." ”

Ying Huaizhen's eyes flushed slightly: "Fool, are you happy to be found earlier?"

Zhang Zhen said: "Of course I'm happy, every time I play hide and seek with you, the happiest time for me is when I catch you." "Grinning, like a big ingot falling from the sky.

No wonder every time he found him easily, he always smiled like a big ingot falling from the sky.

The crystal eyes were wide open, the cherry lips were tightly closed, Ying Huaizhen stared at Zhang Zhen, the child was a little scared, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and asked: "Sister, did I say it wrong? You, don't be angry......

Ying Huaizhen suddenly pushed him hard and shouted, "Are you really stupid!" She used great force and pushed Zhang Zhen to the ground immediately, but she ignored it, took two steps back, turned around and ran.

Zhang Zhen was stunned on the ground for a while, then got up and shouted, "Zhenzhen!" wanted to chase him, but his little servant rushed over and grabbed him: "Young master, Madam is looking for you...... Why did you get covered in mud again?" for fear of being punished, he pulled Zhang Zhen and left, the child sighed, and walked with the little girl step by step.

Ying Huaizhen ran to the edge of the flowers in one breath, and in front of him were the roses with open stars, small clusters of flowers, which were very lively and decorated half of the wall, some were pink, some were pure white, and there was a slightly warm yellow flower heart.

Ying Huaizhen stretched out his hand to pinch a branch, but many messy scenes appeared in his mind.

Most of it is the memory of what happened to her.

Zhang Zhen, who was slightly chubby and had a bland face and inconvenient legs, ran around, dotted up and down, and tried all the means to see her: "Sister, I heard that my uncle had an accident and left for Beijing, I, I didn't expect it to be true...... I'm going to save you! Don't be afraid......"

He said in a trembling voice, as if he had said a lot, but at that time, the kind of court battle was like a battle of the gods, and a lowly mortal like Zhang Zhen was like there, where was there room for meddle? Not to mention saving people, he was like a moth to a fire when he touched this matter.

At that time, Ying Huaizhen was already dead, his ears could no longer hear anything, and his mind was unwilling to pay attention to his surroundings, so he also turned a blind eye to Zhang Zhen's concern.

At this moment, in the seemingly childish and unintentional dialogue, some fragmentary scenes emerged, in the law field, in the crowd, he dragged his legs and struggled to rush forward, hoarsely shouting: "Really true!" The voice was hoarse and pitched, and the guards had to raise their weapons to repel him, I don't know what hit him on the head, and the blood suddenly burst out, and the figure staggered more and more, like a lonely boat in the sea.

It's just that on that day, there was too much blood shed, so Ying Huaizhen didn't remember, among them, there was also a playmate named Zhang Zhen, her former childhood sweetheart.

How can we see the truth and falsehood?

The cold years know the pines and cypresses, and the adversity sees the truth. The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.

Ying Huaizhen ran desperately to the backyard, her chest seemed to burst, she was afraid that she would be found out and make a fuss, so she stopped, walked lightly to the corner, and sat lightly on the steps to rest.

The sound of talking came intermittently from the open window, and Ying Huaizhen heard that it was his father and mother who were talking, so he didn't care, and listened while resting with his cheeks in his hands.

I only heard Li Xianshu ask: "Is it really a relative in the house?"

Ying Lanfeng said: "Isn't it my little uncle Guo Jizu? There was a mole on his face, I didn't recognize it at the time, it was Zhaocai who reminded me, otherwise I would have almost been sentenced." ”

Li Xianshu suddenly hated and said: "What is almost, what are you doing to pay attention to Uncle Zhaocai's old fool, you didn't recognize him at first, so you just sentenced him directly!"

Ying Lanfeng hesitated: "This, is this possible? After all, it is a relative, and it is a matter of human life......

Li Xianshu said: "If he hadn't beaten people to death, how could he have sentenced him to death? Now that you are an official, he is a prisoner, and you are not a trivial matter that can be dealt with, what is there to talk about?"

Ying Lanfeng said: "But Madame's side, if you know......

Li Xianshu was a little hated that iron could not become steel: "When the real lady knows, you just say that you didn't recognize you! Anyway, don't they recognize you over there? If they recognize you and come to beg for mercy a long time ago, why bother to recruit that old fool to mention you?"

Ying Lanfeng suddenly realized, but he was still a little unbearable: "Alas, after all, I have known him once, and I personally sentenced him to death, which is ......"

Li Xianshu said: "You are still an official, this little thing has made you embarrassed like this, but you know that this is related to your future, and it is official business! Now while the government doesn't know, you just pretend that you don't know anything, and quickly sentence the matter! I'll take care of Uncle Zhaocai's side." ”

Ying Lanfeng was pushed out, and he didn't forget to say: "Don't be embarrassed to attract wealth......

Li Xianshu laughed: "What are you doing to embarrass him? I'm crazy? Uncle Zhaocai is your confidant, saying this is also for your good, I told him through that he must understand, you must know that he is confused for a while, but he is not stupid!"

Ying Lanfeng took a long breath: "Recently, the disaster relief has been very busy, and I have added to this chaos, I heard from Brother Cheng of Jiaozhou that the imperial court sent the Iron Bone Imperial History to inspect, that person is famous for his ruthlessness, wherever he goes, he has to lose a few heads, it is simply a soul hook imperial history...... I don't know if I will come to Taizhou, I am a little panicked. ”

Li Xianshu soothed: "What are you afraid of him? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and you are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, what can he do if he hooks his soul with iron bones? Don't sigh first, he is short of his own momentum, don't forget that you still have Ah Zhen and me, didn't you say last time that Ah Zhen wanted you to be a clean official?"

Ying Lanfeng heard this, but she was full of energy: "The lady's teachings are very true! ”

Ying Lanfeng shook her spirits, stepped out of the door, saw Ying Huaizhen on the steps at a glance, came over in a slight daze, touched the top of her head, flicked the little flower between her temples, and asked with a smile: "Why is Zhen'er here?"

Ying Huaizhen said: "I was tired of running, so I came to sit down." ”

At this time, Li Xianshu also came out: "Ah Zhen is here, did you hear what your father and mother said?"

Ying Huaizhen shook his head, showing a tired look: "I'm tired of playing with the big ingots, and I'm a little sleepy." ”

"Then I'll go back to sleep. When Ying Lanfeng saw her daughter, she forgot about him completely, and then reached out to hug him, Li Xianshu pushed him: "You have serious business, why don't you go quickly?" ”

Ying Lanfeng had no choice but to smile, and scratched Ying Huaizhen's nose again: "You are just sick, don't play too crazy, look at the red face...... That dad went to run errands, and I'll see it when I come back. ”

Ying Huaizhen yawned and nodded.
