Ning Huaixiu sat in the car, walked to the front of the palace gate, got off at the side gate, and walked with the eunuch who delivered the decree to Shouxian Palace.

This is the first time she has entered the palace since the earthquake, and the newly built palace is very different from the palace where she lived in her previous life, although it is not as many palaces as the palace in her previous life, but it is much more refined than many palaces in her previous life.

But see the new palace purple towering Jintang painting building, blue and heavy color pavilion carved eaves, the palace through which are installed with transparent and bright large pieces of glass, appear spacious and bright, the style is extraordinary, grinding bricks to build the Xiao wall, the white stone paves the path, the purple street is two, there are two dragons playing with pearls; Left and right, carved into the morning sun Danfeng. The Jade Pavilion is ten thousand golden lights, and the Yushu Pavilion is a thousand layers of auspiciousness. auspicious clouds reflect the sun, showing the glory of the emperor; Rui Qi greeted his eyes, and saw the royal extraordinary. The plum blossoms outside the Golden Gate are fragrant, the pines and cypresses under the jade household are verdant, the pavilions are heavy, the water pavilion is meandering, it is like a fairyland on earth.

Such a beautiful scenery, Ning Huaixiu only glanced at it a few times and put it down, at this time, her heart had no time to sigh about the changes in the two lives, and she had no time to be jealous of Queen Mu's noble and honorable favor, along the way, her mind was spent on how to justify herself and excuse herself.

When they arrived at Shouxian Palace, the eunuch on duty outside went in to report, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi were sitting on the kang talking, and when they heard that Ning Huaixiu had arrived, Nangong Yi said: "Lady, I am not in the mood to watch her pretend to act, and I don't have time to talk to her, so I use medicine directly and let her tell the truth." ”

Cai Wei nodded and said, "It's okay, I also want to hear who is planning against me behind my back, announce her in!" ”

After Ning Huaixiu entered the hall, he saw that the emperor and queen were sitting cross-legged on the kang by the window and talking, both of them were wearing homely clothes, sitting there casually, with a leisurely and quiet smile on their faces, and there was no respectful or majestic look, but like an ordinary couple.

Her heart hurt again, in the previous life, whether he was with the queen, or with her or which concubine, he never showed such a leisurely homely appearance, although he often laughed at that time, but the lazy smile always carried a bit of mockery and rejection of people thousands of miles away, which made people look scared for no reason, but his charming smile was so beautiful like a demon, like a poppy, they were completely lost themselves, knowing that falling in love with him would not have good results, but they couldn't extricate themselves from falling in love with him, and couldn't turn back.

"The courtiers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor! Courtiers see the queen mother, the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose-"

She fell to the ground in a complicated mood, but the etiquette was not out of shape at all, respectful and supple, graceful and generous, however, after lying for a long time, she didn't hear the voice of the emperor and queen calling her up. Ning Huaixiu was surprised, and suddenly heard a fluttering sound overhead, as if a bird was flying overhead, she couldn't look up, but she suddenly felt a tight nose, like something like flour spilling head-on, blurring her vision and blurring her ...... Consciousness......

"Master—"

The parrot flew back to Caiwei's shoulder, signaling that his mission was complete.

Cai Wei stared at Ning Huaixiu on the ground, and said slowly: "Ning Huaixiu, raise your head and look at the palace." ”

Ning Huaixiu raised his head, his eyes were empty and unfocused, as if he was a soulless body.

"Say, who instructed you to come to this palace? Who is that person behind you? ”

……

In a teahouse in Qingxian County

Liu Xi sat at the tea table, while sipping melon seeds, while replying to the waiter, when Liu Xi heard that Li Sheng actually took the jade pendant given by the queen's mother to ransom a prostitute, he threw a handful of melon seeds in his hand into the tray, and sneered: "I finally saw what it means to be lustful, and I dared to ransom a prostitute with something given by the queen. ”

The attendant said, "Does the master have any plans?" ”

Liu Xi stood up and sneered: "Go to the county office!" ”

The new county lord in the county government did not recognize Liu Xi, but the master recognized him, and several catchers who had followed Shen Luming in the past also knew him, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly informed the new county lord of his identity, and the county lord heard about Liu Xi's identity, and hurried up to meet him, Liu Xi politely said: "The county magistrate does not have to be polite, the miscellaneous family is here because of the loss of an important object, so I came to trouble the county magistrate to call the shots and help the miscellaneous family find it..." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he hurriedly said: "My father-in-law has lost something, even if I tell the lower officials, even if the lower officials dig three feet into the ground, they must find their father-in-law's belongings." ”

Liu Xi said: "The object is not big, it is just a jade pendant, the miscellaneous family has found out who stole it, please send someone to take the thief and bring the jade pendant back from the miscellaneous family..." ”

The jade pendant is a reward from the queen's mother, Li Sheng is a scholar, and naturally knows how much of a sin it will be for him to redeem a prostitute with the royal reward, so for the sake of his life, even if he is charged with theft, he will not dare to distinguish anything, and he can only eat coptis dumbly.

Let's say that Li Sheng has been waiting restlessly in the Ningxiang Pavilion since the bustard left, stretching his neck and looking out from time to time, he hasn't seen Yiyi for a year, I don't know what happened to her now? Have you suffered or been bullied in the past year?

She is so good-looking, there are so many men in Qingxian who are worried about her like mosquitoes, and in the year he is away, she must have been bullied a lot...

Thinking of this, his heart ached.

Because he felt sorry for her, he desperately offended his father-in-law and mother-in-law and his new wife, and rushed back day and night under the pretext of worshipping his ancestors, just to make her suffer a few days less bullying and a few days of sin.

Tomorrow, he will secretly take her to the capital, buy a quiet courtyard to raise her, and when he controls the entire Shen family in the future, and gets all the wealth of the Shen family, he will take Shen Juhua's and straighten Yiyi.

The capital is far away from Qingxian, no one knows Yiyi's origin, and when the time comes, with Yiyi's beauty and charm, he will definitely be able to be a lady worthy of his pride....

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of the wheels outside, and the carriage seemed to stop at the door.

Li Sheng hurriedly got up and went outside to greet him. But I saw a carriage with a green silk curtain stopped at the door of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, and the two small servants sitting on the wheel, one holding a scarlet felt bag, and the other holding a worship box with Xiangfei bamboo and flowers.

The driver got out of the car first, put the pedal on the wheel under the curtain, and said, "Mother Li, get out of the car!" ”

The curtain was opened, and the two maids stepped on one after the other and got out of the car, the girl in front held the piano bag, the back held a few handscrolls in one hand, and a jasper flute hung on the wrist.

Behind the two maids, followed by the smiling bustard, behind the bustard, is the Yiyi who thinks day and night, thinking like crazy.

When Yiyi was in the car, he heard the bustard talk about Li Sheng's career, and now he sees Li Sheng's clothes and the momentum of a noble son, and his heart is even more happy. She was flowing in the autumn waves, bending the living water, looking at Li Sheng with affection, and she was shy.

Li Sheng saw that Yiyi's beauty had not diminished, and he was still so warm and affectionate, and he was also very happy in his heart, looking at Yiyi gently, looking happy.

Seeing them like this, Bustard smiled and said, "What are you little two doing with your eyebrows?" If you have that thought, why don't you go back to the house to kiss the incense, even if you sleep together, no one cares about you, anyway, Yiyi is already your person! ”

Li Sheng said: "Mom laughed, bothering my mother to give Yiyi's deed of sale, and then write the paperwork, and then take Yiyi away in the future." ”

Bustard said: "This is easy to say, but Yiyi's head and face clothes or something, I have helped her buy them year by year, and they can't be taken away." ”

Li Sheng didn't pay attention to those things, but after listening to the bustard's words, he said disapprerovantly: "Yes!" ”

As he spoke, everyone entered the door one after another, and Bustard sent someone to find a nearby neighbor as a witness, wrote a sales agreement with Li Sheng, and handed over Yiyi's deed of sale, road guide and household registration. After the delivery, the bustard pretended to cry a few times, said goodbye to the sisters, and left with Li Sheng, without taking the dressing table, worship box, suitcase, bedding and the like in the room.

The prostitutes of Ningxiang Pavilion saw that Yiyi was redeemed by the lover, and the lover was full of poetry and books, talented and good-looking, and they were inevitably envious and jealous, and they complained to themselves, and they dispersed after discussing it...

Soon, there was a sudden sound of footsteps and shouting outside the Ning Xiang Pavilion, mixed with the crisp sound of horses' hooves, when the prostitutes leaned on the window to look out, it was the two catchers of the county who came straight to the Ning Xiang Pavilion with dozens of soaps, this group of people wore official uniforms, carried water and fire sticks, paved and chains and other things, and knew at a glance that they were not here to prostitute.

The bustard hurriedly went out, and said to Lei Zhutou with a smile: "What is the reason why Lei Zhutou is here?" The tax money for the small courtyard was paid three days ago......"

Lei Zhutou was also a frequent visitor to this Ningxiang Pavilion in the past, and he had some friendship with this bustard, so he did not play official power, but only said solemnly: "Mother Li, someone went to the county government to accuse you of stealing, this head catcher is for the sake of your wife, and advises you, quickly take out the stolen goods, the original owner has a special identity, but you are not a bustard in a brothel can afford to provoke." ”

When the bustard heard this, he immediately shouted and shouted injustice: "What do you mean by Lei Zhutou?" Although the old body is in the skin and meat business, he never does the thing of roosters and dogs, you don't want to wronged a good person! ”

Lei Zhutou said: "Mother Li, don't quibble, hurry up and hand over the warm jade pendant, if you just shirk it, we will search out the jade pendant later, and my mother is afraid that she will suffer from flesh and skin when she arrives in the court." ”

"What? Warm jade jade pendant? ”

Bustard like thunder, reached out and took out a piece of mutton fat white jade mandarin duck jade pendant from his close-fitting clothes, and said loudly: "What Lei Zhutou said, but this?" ”

When Lei Zhutou saw it, he immediately blackened his face, snatched the jade pendant, and said: "Old Qianwu, you still said that you didn't steal it, but now it's just a stolen person?" ”

"Oh, Lei catches the head, the old body is wronged-"

Bustard patted her thigh and shouted: "It's all Li Xiucai, no, it's Li Sheng who killed a thousand knives, it was he who took this piece of jade pendant to redeem his old body, I said, a poor man went out for a year, how did he suddenly become rich, it turned out that he was a thief." Lei Catcher, you have to be the master of the old body, don't take the one who killed a thousand knives, the old body Yiyi was deceived by him......"

When Lei Zhutou heard this, he immediately took Bustard and Yu Pei and went to the county office....

At this time, Li Sheng has taken Yiyi, back to the inn, this time back, he is back to redeem Yiyi, in order not to be discovered his behavior, his father-in-law wants to send someone to serve him, he did not agree, only one person came back, not to mention the hard work of this way, just saw Yiyi, helped her redeem the body, and felt that the hard work was worth it.

In the inn, the two of them snuggled together emotionally, and Yiyi choked up and said, "Li Lang, where have you been this year, Yiyi is so worried about you!" ”

Li Sheng said: "Since that day in the county government to give Ge a fame, my brother also swept me out of the house, and then I heard that the bustard forced you to pick up guests, so I left Qingxian and went to the capital, because Shen Zhixian had intended to add me as a son-in-law, if I want to redeem you as much as possible, it is not possible to make money by selling words, so I went to the capital to find them.... ”

Li Sheng didn't hide anything from Yiyi, and told Yiyi one by one how he designed to meet Mrs. Cui and Shen Juhua, how to gain their trust, and marry Chrysanthemum, and said: "Although I can't give you a name now, I can only hide you outside, but when I get the Shen family, I will take a break from Shen Juhua's fierce woman and marry you, and when the time comes, we will be able to live together openly!" ”

Yiyi nodded softly and said obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to you!" ”

She is always so gentle, so well-behaved, I don't know how many times stronger than the Shen Juhua, Li Sheng's macho thoughts have been greatly satisfied, he can't help but lower his head, kissed the lips that he thinks about day and night, Yiyi also raised his head, Quyi greeted him, the small tongue shuttled flexibly in his mouth, like a fish, and soon lit the raging fire on his body.

Lang Qing concubine, **, the two of them quickly fell on the couch, undressed, copulated, one is a full-strength posterity, the other is a habitual woman, the pink prostitute dumped the powder box, Luo Pa left traces, Jun Shusheng sold the iron pen, wet the quilt, the two of you are greedy for my love, and are busy with selflessness, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Li Sheng stopped in surprise, and before he could understand what was going on, the door of the room was suddenly slammed open. Thunder Catcher barged in with someone. Yiyi screamed in fright, pulled over the quilt, and covered herself under the quilt, humiliating.

Li Sheng was also taken aback, but he still barely calmed down, he quickly took his clothes to cover the key parts of his body, and said dissatisfiedly: "What is this doing?" Li is not a criminal, why did you take someone to trespass on my residence? ”

Lei Zhutou sneered and said: "Li Sheng, it is said that reading can make people reasonable, but the more you read, the more confused you become, first eloped with this prostitute, and then stole for this prostitute, you are really an amorous seed!" ”

Li Sheng said in surprise: "What do you say about Lei Zhutou? He who is innocent under the net, how can he ever steal? ”

Lei Zhutou sneered and said, "Then tell me, where did the priceless jade pendant you ransom Yiyi come from?" But don't tell me that this head catcher was picked up by you, a poor sour. ”

Li Sheng was stunned and speechless, this jade pendant was a gift from the queen's mother, even if he had the courage to tell the truth to Lei Zhutou? Once it is known that he dares to ransom a prostitute with the gift of the queen's mother, he will be guilty of great disrespect, and he will be sent to the frontier as a slave at the least, and beheaded at the worst.

Seeing that Li Sheng was speechless, Lei Zhutou waved his hand and shouted to the officials behind him: "Take it away, let him go and reason with the county magistrate and Gonggong Liu." ”

"Yes!"

The officials stepped forward and pulled Li Sheng and Yiyi up from the couch with their hands and feet, both of them were naked, and their bodies were still sticky, and they were pulled out of the bed like this, not to mention the wolf bèi.

Li Shengyouke, after all, is a man, but Yiyi is a woman, and being taken out like this by a group of big men is extremely humiliating. She screamed, cried and shouted, busy covering the important parts of her body, Li Sheng's heart was broken, but she was helpless.

Seeing that Yiyi was so excited, a servant sneered and said, "Oiran lady, don't pretend, look at which brother in this house hasn't slept with you?" Where on your body haven't we seen, touched, or played, and you just make a gesture with Joe, is it interesting? ”

When Li Sheng heard this, his face suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Yiyi with less pity, and Yiyi was so ashamed that she stopped screaming, but quickly went to get dressed.

In the ridicule and ridicule of everyone, Li Sheng and Yiyi got dressed, and the wolf was escorted to the county office. When they arrived at the county office, Lei Zhutou added fuel and vinegar to tell them what they saw Li Sheng and Yiyi doing.

When the magistrate heard this, he was shocked, blew his beard and glared at him: "A scholar, he actually prostituted himself with a prostitute during the day, it is really insulting, thanks to the official who revoked your talent and reputation last year, otherwise you will be such a scum, if you become an official in the future, you will definitely harm the people." ”

Liu Xi, who was sitting on the side of the jury, heard that Li Sheng was actually prostituting himself with this prostitute named Yiyi in the inn, and he shook his head again and again, very upset for the chrysanthemum.

Although Chrysanthemum targeted him everywhere and attacked him, he never took it to heart, but took pleasure in teasing her and angry with her.

For some reason, when he saw Chrysanthemum being so angry with him that his face was red and he gritted his teeth and jumped on his feet, he was in a particularly good mood. Probably because of his identity as a eunuch, his mood was too depressed, but every time he teased the chrysanthemum, he could really laugh and be very happy. Although Chrysanthemum is not as gentle and deferential as other ancient women, she is a simple and straightforward person, but she doesn't have so many eyes, which is why he likes to tease her.

In his previous life, he was used to seeing those elite women who were exquisite, and he often felt a headache for the scheming and wisdom of those women; In this life, he has also seen too many women who are submissive, have no thoughts, have no character, and regard themselves as men's accessories, which makes him boring; Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the simplicity and straightforwardness of chrysanthemums at all, but felt that it was precious.

It's just that such a good woman, this Li Sheng didn't even see it, she was really blind, and betrayed her for a prostitute, and she had only been married for two days, so she couldn't wait to run back to her hometown to meet her old lover.

He doesn't object to Li Sheng's love for Yiyi, after all, each flower is in his own eyes, Li Sheng just likes a woman like Yiyi, he can't help it, but if he likes it, he should rely on his own ability to make money, to redeem others, to give people happiness, he shouldn't, he shouldn't cheat chrysanthemums for another woman, how important is the name of ancient women, since he married chrysanthemums, he should be responsible for chrysanthemums, love chrysanthemums well, but he actually did such unbearable things, not to mention that he failed chrysanthemums, even if he failed a strange woman, He will also be upset for the woman.

Liu Xi picked up the mandarin duck jade pendant, rubbed it and said: "Lord Zhixian, although this piece of jade from the miscellaneous family is not expensive, it is worth two or three thousand taels, and now it has been stolen and sold by this Li Sheng, I don't know what crime Lord Zhixian will condemn this Li Sheng?" ”

The magistrate heard this, and hurriedly said: "This Li Sheng is stealing in the front, take your jade pendant and run to the Ning Xiang Pavilion to defraud in the back, and the two crimes will be punished together, and the lower officials feel that the rod should be punished for fifty years, and ten years in prison." What does my father-in-law think? ”

Liu Xi said with a smile: "The magistrate is wise, and the miscellaneous family is respectful." ”

When Li Sheng heard that he was going to be beaten with fifty canes and locked up in prison for ten years, he suddenly couldn't care about anything, and shouted, "My lord, student..." ”

As soon as he shouted out the word student, he suddenly thought that his reputation for talent had been removed, and he hurriedly changed his words and said: "The villain is wronged, this jade pendant of the villain was given by the villain's wife, and it was never stolen by the villain. ”

He didn't dare to say that this jade pendant was given by the queen's mother, so he only said that it was given by his wife, anyway, the queen mother rewarded him because she looked at his wife's face, so even if it was given to him by his wife, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Wife? Have you taken a wife? The magistrate looked at him suspiciously, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Yes, my lord, the villain's wife is the daughter of the former Qingxian County Lord Shen Chrysanthemum, after the villain traveled to the capital last year, he met Lord Shen by luck, Lord Shen saw that the villain was a fellow villager, and saw that the villain was down-and-out, so he made the villain in his fur shop as a shopkeeper, and later saw that the villain was obedient, so he married his daughter to the villain. This jade pendant was really not stolen by the villain, but was given to the villain by the villain's wife. ”

At this time, the master said on the side: "Master, Li Sheng's words are true, when Master Shen was still serving in Qingxian County, he once liked Li Sheng, and at that time he wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, but unfortunately he was transferred to the capital before he could be recruited." ”

When Li Sheng heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought that he was fine, but when he heard it, he laughed: "It seems that this Li Sheng did not travel to the capital at will, but went on purpose, I didn't expect this Li Sheng to look like a gentleman, but he is ambitious, although Lord Shen has no friendship with the official, but for the sake of his seniors, this matter must be told by the official, master, you will repair a letter and tell Lord Shen what Li Sheng has done." ”

When Li Sheng heard this, his face suddenly turned white, if Lord Shen knew about his actions, he would definitely take away his leave, and when the time came, he would not be able to get the Shen family's property.

However, after thinking about it again, it is important to save his life, as long as he saves his life now, even if he is taken away, he still has the capital of 1,000 taels of silver, and there is a fur shop worth thousands of taels, without the wealth of the Shen family, he can live a life without worrying about food and clothing!

At this time, Liu Xiliang said in a fluttering voice: "Even if you are rich and wealthy in the Shen family, how can you prove that this jade is a gift from your wife?" Although the Shen family has a small family, but this jade is expensive, but it is not something that can be given casually, if it is really given by your wife, it must be the object of love she gave you, how can the object of love be used to redeem a prostitute? It can be seen that it is a lie. ”

"Yes, Grandpa Liu is right, this guy must be lying!"

The magistrate echoed and said.

Liu Xi is a celebrity next to the queen of the dynasty, Lord Shen is just a six-grade petty official, the magistrate naturally knows who to befriend, and Li Sheng does such a thing, Lord Shen will take away the rest of the world, so whatever Gonggong Liu says, he will follow.

As soon as Li Sheng saw that Zhixian only echoed Liu Xi, he hurriedly defended and said: "My lord, the villain didn't lie, this jade pendant is really given to the villain by the villain's wife, and the villain didn't want to ransom the villain, just because the villain's silver was not enough, the bustard saw the villain's piece of jade, so he asked the villain to redeem the jade with the jade, and the villain had already told her that when the villain had money, he would redeem the jade back." ”

Mother Li has been kneeling to the side, just now when she saw Li Sheng and Yiyi come in, she wanted to rush over and scold the dog man and woman, but she didn't dare to act because she was afraid of the official authority of the county master, and now she heard Li Sheng mention her, so she shouted: "My lord, it was this thief who deliberately took out Gonggong Liu's jade to show off and tempted the old body, the old body did wonder at that time, how did this poor sour suddenly become rich and rich, it turned out to be a thief, big lord, don't you want to beat him with fifty rods?" Why didn't you beat him yet? ”

The magistrate was reminded by the bustard, and saw that Liu Gonggong looked at Li Sheng with an unkind face, so he immediately took out the token, dropped it on the ground, and shouted: "Fight!" ”

Li Sheng shouted: "Adult, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged—"

The officials didn't care if he was wronged or not, the magistrate gave an order, and they pressed Li Sheng, took off his pants, raised his staff and crackled.

Li Sheng is a scholar, how can he stand this suffering, he can't bear it with a few sticks, he shouted: "My lord, the blue sky is above, the villain is really wronged..." Father-in-law Liu, Li has no grievances with you, why do you want to blame me......"

Bustard took the opportunity to say: "My lord, now that it has been ascertained that it has nothing to do with the old body at this time, please call the shots, let the old body take Yiyi back." ”

Zhixian said: "Quasi! ”

Bustard kowtowed to Zhixian with a sigh of relief, and pulled Yiyi down.

Yiyi saw that her lover was beaten so badly, and she shed tears in distress, and when she saw this, she stepped forward and slapped Yiyi twice, scolding: "Dead prostitute, it was you who provoked the poor sour, and the old lady also suffered a lawsuit, it was really unlucky, look at how the old lady will clean you up when you go back." ”

Yiyi was beaten so that her face was swollen, and she couldn't stop crying while covering her face, but at this moment, Li Sheng had been beaten to the point that the first Buddha was born, and the second Buddha had ascended to heaven, so where could she still take care of her, just lying on the ground and howling like a pig......

Before he finished beating fifty sticks, Li Sheng had already fainted, and the magistrate looked at Liu Xi flatteringly and said, "Father-in-law Liu, look, how should this case be decided?" ”

Liu Xi smiled: "Didn't the adults already make it clear just now?" Why do you come to ask the miscellaneous family again? ”

When the magistrate heard this, he said to the officials below: "Fight, continue to fight, until you have reached fifty." ”

When the officials below heard this, they raised their rods, and crackled and beat again, beating Li Sheng like a bloody person, and the blood that came out of the beating stained the thick cotton clothes.

After the fight, the magistrate said: "Take his hand and throw it into the prison......"

Li Sheng was taken into custody in a coma, and then dragged by two officials to the prison like a dead dog.
