The street in front of Dali Temple has always been rarely walked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's dog days again.

Only hawkers hawking in baskets occasionally pass by.

In the direction of the south of the road, a mother and son walked slowly, the mother was slender and weak, her head was wrapped in a white cloth, her feet were on her shoes, and the tears on her face were not dry, and she was very haggard.

The boy she was holding in her hand was no more than six or seven years old, with a large head and a small body, and he was tanned, and he looked stunted.

The two walked to the drum, and the mother let go of her son's hand and looked at the drum skin for a moment.

The son looked at his mother with innocent and unmistakable eyes: "Mother, didn't you say that you would avenge your father?"

The mother listened and picked up the not-so-light drum hammer. "Knock......" she struggled to knock.

The walking vendor stopped.

"Knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

Without doing anything, she tried her best to beat the drum in her heart.

There are more and more people on the street who don't know where they are.

The gate of the yamen suddenly opened, and the majestic official ran out with a big sword: "Who beats the drum and shouts grievances?"

The mother knelt down and burst into tears: "The people's wife, Qi He, wants to avenge her husband." ”

The son knelt down and looked at his mother with cowardly pity.

Everyone gathered around.

Orphans and widows, the servants relented and asked slowly, "Who do you want to sue?"

Qi He said: "The husband Qi Junjie, because of his lazy nature, went to prison, although he is a guilty body, but he is also a living person, Princess Yong'an in order to treat her friend's eyes, she dug out her husband's eyes alive to replace it, and now the husband is unbearable and hanged himself in prison, and the woman wants to sue Princess Yong'an and avenge her husband's grievances." ”

The people around listened to the roar of discussion.

"It's Princess Yongan again. ”

"Did the princess gouge out someone's eyes this time?"

"Can you change your eyes......

The officer's face changed, and he thought to himself, I see that you are pitiful, it turns out that you are suing Princess Yong'an.

Princess Yong'an and Dali Siqing Lu Hong are close friends, and Lu Hong's personal servant certainly knows the relationship between them.

I think this case is a bit tricky.

He said, "You wait here first." ”

After saying that, he didn't explain anything, and hurriedly walked back to the yamen.

After the main hall of the lobby, the backyard is a neat row of side rooms.

The official stopped at the door of the third room and knocked on the door hurriedly: "My lord, there is a woman beating a drum and complaining about the grievances, she is suing Princess Yong'an, and I think it has something to do with the adult, and now there are many people outside." ”

A surprised voice came from the room: "Come in and talk back." ”

The official pushed open the door and walked in.

It's a lot cooler in the house.

The official wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Lu Hong was sitting in front of the public case, beckoning him to approach: "You said you were suing Princess Yong'an?"

The official said: "It's Qi Junjie's wife, Qi Junjie died in the cell inexplicably yesterday, and today she came to inform that the princess forcibly gouged out Qi Junjie's eyes to cause Qi Junjie to die miserably, and she wanted to beat someone to avenge her." ”

Lu Hong took the case: "How can this be reasonable. ”

Using Qi Junjie's eyes to heal Nan Gongzi's eyes, this is what Lu Hong knows. It's still the thread he pulls.

At that time, the lady Qi also agreed very much, and accepted the princess two thousand taels of silver.

"Why do you have to beat a rake after taking the silver, even if Qi Junjie didn't die yesterday, can he still survive past the end of the month?"

The official said: "Qi Junjie knows that he won't live for a few days, and the people below are still waiting for him because of his eyes, why did he suddenly commit suicide?"

Lu Hong got the news in the morning and just sent someone to investigate.

He groaned and raised his head: "Maybe there is something else hidden in this matter, you let people not fool the past, and find out how Qi Junjie died?"

As he spoke, there was another knock on the door.

Lu Hong raised his voice: "Come in." ”

It was the official sent to investigate the cause of Qi Junjie's death.

I saw that the other person standing in the room was also my own.

He arched his hand, put it down, and said: "My lord, the old Zhang who guarded Qi Junjie is gone, and he can't see anyone alive or dead, and Qi Junjie's death must have something to do with him." ”

Lu Hong's face was slightly stunned, thinking about the possibility, and muttered: "It's such a coincidence, I don't believe it if there is no conspiracy." ”

The official who came in earlier listened and said, "My lord, what should I do with the woman outside?"

If you take over the case, you know that it has nothing to do with Princess Yong'an, how can you judge? If you don't accept it truthfully, Dali Temple will not refuse to be avenged by others, or is it an orphan and a widow, who has he become when he Lu Hong is passed out?

Dilemma, Lu Hong clenched his fists and said to the man who came in later: "You go to the Zhou is medical hall." ”

He said to another officer: "Take the paper in front of the people first, and the lady will lead it to the back hall." ”

After a while, the official who received the complaint ran back again: "My lord, Qi He refused to go to the back hall, so he kept kneeling at the door of the lobby, saying that if the adult did not start the trial, she would not get up, and there were more and more people on the street, and many people were talking. ”

Lu Hong has always been steady.

At first, when his eyes were eager, he sat down again: "Don't panic first, don't panic, there have always been few people walking in front of our door, why are so many people here at once?"

The official was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Was it instructed by someone?"

Lu Hong said: "The princess has a lot of enemies, this time I am afraid that I have offended which immortal again, and I want to take revenge." ”

"What can you take revenge on? If it is interrogated, the money you personally gave you, will the woman dare to deny it? ”

It's because this matter is so clear that it's weird.

Lu Hong frowned and said: "In the past, those people were all trying to ruin the princess's reputation, and this time should be no exception, but the princess has done everything to kill people and set fires, just such a trivial matter, what can ruin his reputation? ”

The official thought for a long time, and finally said: "I may really not think of any way to deal with the princess, and I don't feel at ease if I don't slander the princess." ”

So don't care about big or small things to find faults?

Isn't it too idle.

At the same time, the people in the medical hall were also puzzled.

Staring at the sun, a handsome boy stood under the steps of the front door and looked in, but he didn't seem to look inside, because his eyes were focused, only looking at one point, as if he were a clay sculpture.

Qiao Niang and the others were guarding the door and looking at her.

Qian Niang said: "This person is Xue Shipan Xue Gongzi?"

Qiao Niang shook her head: "I'm not familiar with him." ”

Tao Xingsan was behind Qiao Niang and listened: "He didn't say if he was looking for the princess, and he still didn't understand what he was going to do, so what do you say he wants to do?"

Qianniang said, "I can't guess." "If you can guess, you don't have to look at him like a monster.

Qiao Niang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly what he's going to do, but I know that he's already delayed business." ”

Pedestrians passing by in all directions will look sideways at Xue Shipan, and the busy guys in the medical hall will also be distracted by him, isn't this delaying business?
