Chapter 45: The Court

I don't know if the sunlight wakes up the melodious rooster crow, or the rooster cries to evoke the bright sunshine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sleeping man, who was not fully awake, rubbed his hazy eyes, his face was full of exhaustion, enjoying the direct sunlight through the window, squinting a line, looking lazily, closing his eyes again, and changing his lazy body to a more comfortable position. The sound of knocking on the door echoed in my ears, and I struggled to get up impatiently, and finally collapsed on the comfortable bed again.

At this time, a soft voice came from outside the door, "Master, it's time for you to freshen up, and you have to go to the hall later." ”

"Go to the court." When Ma Rugang heard this voice, he raised his eyes to look at the bare back lying not far from him, a hot light suddenly shot out of his eyes, and his hand unconsciously touched the fair, smooth bare back. Said coldly, "Just put those grooming things by the door, and you guys go down." ”

When the maid guarding the door heard this voice, a crisp woman's coquettish laughter also came into her ears through the crack in the door. Two blush flew out of his cheeks in an instant, red as fire, and he gently put the grooming thing in his hand by the door, and left as quickly as he fled. But there was a hint of curiosity in my heart—curious about what was happening in the house at this time.

People are always like this, maybe this is human nature: they are afraid of something, but they can't help but be curious in their hearts, and even imagine that thing, imagining themselves as the protagonist at that time.

The sound of the gong has long been wafting in Weizhou City, and almost every street, there will be two figures wandering: holding a gong in their hands and a hammer. The hammer fell, and the gong sounded; The other person slowly pasted the official list in his hand on the wall, and read the content of the official list aloud in his mouth, but it was very concise, only a few dozen words, if it was too much, I was afraid that it would be difficult to remember: the corruption case has been investigated. Today, the old man will be arraigned in the palace.

Lying on the corner of the street, reclining in the corner, snuggling together, the refugees heard the news, and their eyes suddenly shone with hope. One after another, the clear eyes almost illuminated the entire Weizhou City-dazzling, brilliant, and charming. Shine and circulate all over the city.

The hope in the heart is inevitably not the despair in the heart; The more hope in the heart, it is inevitable that it is not the disappointment in the mind, the final pain.

At this time, there were already many Li people who rushed to hear the news. The huge government will be surrounded by water.

Naturally, it was divided into three groups: gorgeously dressed with comfortable chairs and stools, sitting on the side, followed by a few young men who looked very shrewd and capable. They had no intention of paying attention to the case, and the hand was invited. Some of them had even narrowed their eyes and were almost going to fall asleep. Wei Zhou's idle people and people who like to be lively, and love to spread this kind of news put down their work and hurried over, stretched their necks as much as possible, and stood on tiptoe, constantly complaining in their hearts about the people in front of them, resenting why they didn't come over earlier. They didn't care about the case, they were just waiting for Qin Cha to decide the case, to see how the criminal was fighting, and even to see the look of fear on his face, or the hatred and resentment on his face full of remorse. Only when you see such a look can you be wonderful, and only when you see such a face can you soothe their restless hearts and comfort their loneliness. Some small traders also hurried to the scene, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit. It's not that they don't care about this case, but they don't care about it, their lives are already full of pain, and they are almost powerless to struggle, how can they still be in the mood to care about things that have nothing to do with them.

Suffering is just a gorgeous reason they have found, it has nothing to do with it, it is a true portrayal of their hearts. Sometimes he even cares about dissuading the people around him: it shouldn't be like this, and it can't be like that. It's as if they have experienced a lot, they know a lot, they have moved a lot, they know all the things in the world, but they don't look at themselves, they don't understand themselves.

Li Muqi took Li Antong, Mu He, Du Rukang, Luo Qiuhe and the poor scholar - Jin Libin, and at this time he could see an extremely flat smile on his face, and he could also see a trace of blood. And they stood among the refugees - their eyes shining brightly, staring at the hall of the government - the things on the case, and the fierce beast with teeth and claws. There is blood rolling and flowing in the heart. Almost every breath is very laborious, and the palms of my hands have been drenched with layers of fine sweat at some point, and the uneasiness and firmness in my heart are colliding and rubbing against each other.

As soon as the drums sounded, the drums stopped, and more than a dozen solemn-faced officials came out of the back hall. I only heard a loud shout, and then there was a majestic "mighty" voice, the sound penetrated through the ear bones, and the sound came into the heart, which shocked people's spirits, and they didn't dare to have any words anymore, and they didn't think about anything else, and their eyes were all focused on the lobby.

At this loud shout, one of them woke up from his dream. The face was full of horror, his eyes were blank, and his eyes were surprisingly wide, if it weren't for the fact that the eye sockets were too small, they had become bull's eyes almost at this time, looking at the solemn face of the Yacha, his heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, if it weren't for the fact that his legs were a little weak, he had almost stood up and fell heavily on the back of the chair.

At this moment, Ma Rugang turned out of the back hall, his face carefully retouched, but he still couldn't hide the full tiredness. His eyes were lowered, his steps were weak, and he pinched his somewhat fat waist with one hand. Behind him was Liu Mocheng, and Liu Mocheng's recorder Wang Pingwei - looking at everyone present with a solemn face.

Liu Mocheng's eyes saw Li Muqi and the others standing among the refugees, his heart was shocked, and he looked at the people around Li Muqi carefully, and saw Luo Qiuhe and Jin Libin also standing beside Li Muqi, and was shocked again, and then looked at the looks on their faces carefully, and his heart was full of horror. Hands trembled unconsciously. If he hadn't seen it, the Qin Cha Ma Rugang in front of him, Liu Mocheng would have almost fainted. The complexion was full of red light at some point, the fine sweat on the forehead, almost like rain, flowed above the cheeks, and the lips were white, shaking up and down, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to speak.

Liu Mocheng stared at Ma Rugang for a long time, calmed down a little, and soothed the worry and fear in his heart. Fang took out a silk scarf and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and face. Ma Rugang didn't know Liu Mocheng's state of mind, and when he saw that he had only walked a few steps, there was a piece of sweat, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of obscene light, staring at Liu Mocheng's waist, revealing a playful, disdainful, and mocking smile.

Wang Pingwei saw Liu Mocheng's expression, and followed his gaze again, knowing the worry in Liu Mocheng's heart. happened to see Liu Mocheng's inquiring gaze, and whispered a few words in Liu Mocheng's ear, only then did he relieve Liu Mocheng's fear.

looked at Liu Mocheng's frightened eyes, and then looked at the uneasiness on Liu Mocheng's face, as well as the uneasiness that slowly changed and put away at this time. Li Muqi looked at Liu Mocheng and nodded and smiled, so that Liu Mocheng could see it completely and reflect it in his heart.

Li Muqi already knew that Liu Mocheng had understood him and investigated him. Seeing Wang Pingwei's words in his ear and his expression slowly settling down, it is certain that Liu Mocheng already knows and understands all the "facts" that Li Muqi let him know; I was very satisfied when I saw Liu Mocheng with the look of horror when he saw Luo Qiuhe standing beside him.

I am afraid that Liu Mocheng, who was sitting on the chair at this time, was like sitting on pins and needles, his heart was full of panic and uneasiness, and he was also worried and suspicious of Li Muqi: Is it really as Wang Jingju said, "Li Muqi's delay at this time is just the usual method used by the traders, it is their usual trick, and there are no other accidents." glanced at Ma Rugang beside him again, he was indeed the Qincha of this case, and he was also the person sent by Prime Minister Sima Cheng, and Wang Pingwei had already arranged all the things, and he had specially checked it, and he would never make a mistake. Unless there is an accident.

Accident, will Li Muqi and others be that accident? And even if he was, what could he do? Liu Mocheng couldn't help but look at Ma Rugang again, and said in his heart: Qin Cha is sitting next to him, can he still be bigger than Qin Cha? After today, everything is a foregone conclusion, no matter who Li Muqi is, he can no longer pose any threat to himself.

After today, it's business as usual. But will today be a smooth day?

Shocking. There was a heavy sound, and Ma Rugang's sharp voice immediately sounded, "Bring people to commit crimes." The voice was broken, and a shout arose, "Bring people to commit crimes."

Two vicious yachas, dragging a man with a cloak and a disheveled hair, came slowly. The man was dressed in white, with a big word "prisoner" written on his back, and heavy iron chains were hung on his hands and feet, dragging them on the ground with a clanging sound.

His face could not be seen clearly, except for a black, withered arm and feet covered in mud and blood.

"The person kneeling in the hall is Xue Bingli?" Ma Rugang looked at the prisoner who was slowly kneeling down and said coldly.

"It's just the villain," the prisoner said weakly, his voice trembling, "Sinner, sinner, Xue Bingli, see, I've seen adults." When the sentence was finally finished, the man fell to the ground again, not daring to lift his head.

"Are you guilty?" Ma Rugang said sharply, throwing down the evidence on the case angrily. "Can you confess to the charges written above? What other words are there to say? ”

"Confess, all the guilty villains... all the villains confess." The prisoner lay on the ground and professed without glancing at the charges.

"Hmm." Ma Rugang nodded with satisfaction, looked at the prisoner lying on the ground, and said sharply, "You have been punished, but someone threatens you, is there any untruth?" ”

"No," replied the prisoner in a loud voice.

"In that case, do you have any words?"

"Nope."

"Okay," Ma Rugang nodded with satisfaction, dropped the arrow in his hand, and said sharply, "This official pronounces the verdict: Xue Bingli, corruption, murder, beheading according to the law, and execution at noon tomorrow." ”

When everyone heard this, they all shouted.

Looking at the condemned death row inmate, there was no argument or rebuttal, he fell to the ground and said yes again and again.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Liu Mocheng couldn't help but smile on his face, and at the same time let out a big breath of turbidity. But seeing the smile on Li Muqi's face, he was inexplicably shocked and shocked in his heart. But when I thought that the case was closed and a foregone conclusion, I suddenly let go of my worries and stopped looking at Li Muqi. Looking at Ma Rugang in a hurry, he slowly walked into the back hall.

PS: Thank you all for your suffering, and I apologize for the pain.

I bow and apologize.
