Chapter 18: The Court
Bang bang bang -
Erbai got dressed and came out, listening to the earth-shattering sound of the door at the other end of the courtyard, she frowned, glanced at Qinghe's house, and involuntarily clenched her fist.
Crunch――
Erbai pulled the wooden door hard.
The man who knocked on the door outside was empty, and he didn't hold back his strength, and one of them didn't pay attention, and almost fell in without the strength to go down, and fell into a dog to eat.
"Zhang Shun, you are in too much of a hurry to go out and haven't woken up yet, huh? Haha, I drank too much in Jiao Xingyuan yesterday, and my body is still soft? Why don't you relax your muscles and bones and be sober? ”
"That's it, Zhang Shun is not kind, I don't know what shit luck I took a few days ago, my luck is very good, I won a few taels of silver, and I don't ......"
"Enough!"
The man who was out of trouble, that is, Zhang Shun, shouted angrily, and instantly quieted down.
He straightened up his messy hair and clothes with a straight face, and without looking at Erbai, he pushed her away and walked inside.
Pity......
"Ahh
A bitter wail pierced the otherwise quiet courtyard.
Erbai's ears moved a few times, her expression was a little angry, she looked at the man in front of her with a crooked face, and turned her head in disgust.
"You, you are bold! Do you know who I am? I'm a yamen who catches you quickly—"
Before he finished speaking, Erbai's hand twisted again.
A heart-piercing pain came, and Zhang Shun's already ordinary face was instantly so wolf that it was difficult to see people, and tears and snot fell together, making his face confused.
Erbai felt disgusted, so he let go, secretly spitting in his heart.
If you hadn't woken Qingqing, I wouldn't have dirty my hands.
If Qingqing didn't like it, I would definitely break your arm.
Zhang Shun stumbled a few times, but fortunately, the two colleagues behind him who were talking cool came in and helped him, one of them looked a little upright, and when he saw Erbai's face, his eyes slipped a little surprised, and he spoke seriously.
"My surname is Zheng, a famous line, and I am also a yamen arrester, and the day before yesterday I received a complaint, saying that this proprietress and his buddies united to injure innocent people, etc., and asked us if we have this neighborhood store, how dare we step into this street again! A few of us have been ordered to take you to the court to confront each other. ”
He said righteous words, and Erbai sneered when he heard it.
I can't help but think that day, if someone hadn't provoked him first, how could it have caused Qingqing to fold his hands now, be sullen at home, and become thinner and thinner?
"What's wrong?"
When the four of them heard the voice, they all looked back, and through the window came a plain face half-hidden by the curtain.
The skin is like winter snow, still with a thin red. The beauty first woke up, adding a bit of coquettishness and laziness.
Qinghe's hair was a little messy, she thought everyone was surprised by this, so she straightened it casually, turned her eyes to Erbai, and asked again.
It is the eyes that are like waves with spring water, and the itching in the hearts of several people on the hook is difficult to calm.
Hearing a few heavy breaths from the person next to him, Erbai suddenly realized that there was someone on the side who saw Qinghe just woke up, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
It's a feeling of being seen by outsiders.
So she took a few steps forward, blocked the sight of several people, and asked stiffly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Please come with us!"
What else did Erbai want to say, Qinghe had already tidied up a little and walked out of the door.
"Erbai, come back."
After all, Qinghe knew more about the world than Erbai, so he asked the reason clearly, and invited a few people to the house to drink a few sips of water. took Erbai to wash, put on thick clothes, comforted the worried Qingyang by the way, and followed the three out of the house.
Walking along the way, Erbai held Qinghe's hand tightly.
Qing He smiled when he saw this, shook Erbai, and quietly made a look: Fool, we are reasonable, what is so scary.
Seeing this, Erbai also let go of his heart, and he was full of joy all the way through the cold and bone.
The Yamen is located in the center of Kaiyang City, and Qinghe lives in the south on weekdays, unless he buys something that can't be bought locally, he basically doesn't go there.
The three catchers teased while walking, and they didn't shy away from the two daughters' families, and they all talked about meat jokes between men, and from time to time they looked at Qinghe and Erbai, looking like they were not right.
The two of them were unhappy to be watched, and Qinghe didn't want to cause trouble in vain, but Erbai was straight, and when they saw it, they glared back.
Although the three of them were fast, they had never seen much of a battle, and their eyes were like flying knives, and they didn't dare to say anything when they were stared at, but their necks shrunk, and they laughed at themselves, and finally stopped looking at them evilly.
The five of them walked for half an hour before they arrived at the gate of the yamen, and Qinghe stood there and watched, and couldn't help but secretly admire.
Although Kaiyang City is located in a relatively remote area and is not large, its location is also important.
The capital is to the north of it, and to the southwest of Kaiyang City is the enemy of the Great Wei henchman - China. If you want the army to go straight to China, you must pass through Kaiyang, which is also a fortress defense place, although it is slightly backward and not so rich, but it is better than the simple customs of the people. The location of the yamen is conspicuous, and the building is also magnificent, with six gates and nine bays, which can be regarded as quite large.
The six gates at the door opened in a figure-eight shape towards the outer street, and a large drum was placed next to the door, which was sitting idle at the moment.
It is "the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money".
"What are you doing?"
A shout woke up Qing He, Erbai walked a few steps towards Na Zhang Shun, and the man was so frightened that he went up the three steps, "My lord has been waiting for a long time." After saying that, he hurriedly walked up.
"Something that wasn't planted." Erbai said in a low voice, Qinghe heard it clearly, patted her hands, and didn't know where she learned these words, and the words she said these days have been a lot rougher.
Erbai grinned, took Qinghe's hand and walked inside, as if he was not going to some majestic court, but going out in the suburbs, his eyebrows were indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
Smack-
"Whoever comes, report it by name—"
A loud shout sounded when Qing He and the others just stepped into the threshold, like thunder on a sunny day, Qing He was stunned and almost hit Er Bai.
"Mighty ~~~~~ ~~~~~~"
There was a shocking sound, and the sound of the board smashing on the ground echoed endlessly, making people's ears buzz.
"The little girl Qinghe, who came at the call, dared to ask the adults what was going on?"
