208 court
"Smack!"
The tree fell heavily.
Mrs. Cui suddenly wilted, glared at Zhu Yuenuan angrily, knelt down honestly and went back, lowered her head, and only glanced at Zhu Yuenuan from time to time.
Zhu Yuenuan looked at Mrs. Cui's actions, hooked the corners of her lips, and stood on the edge of the edge to watch coldly.
"Cui Liu, do you have any evidence?" Chu Yitong asked lightly.
"My lord, a few days ago, they stayed alone in the Dragon Scale Mountain for so long, how many people know it, the people in the city are the evidence, and the soldiers guarding the city gate are also evidence." When Mrs. Cui heard this, she immediately raised her head again, pointed at Zhu Yuenuan with great momentum, and replied in a determined tone.
"Oh?" Chu Yitong raised his eyes slightly, his gaze swept over Zhu Yuenuan and fell on the crowd of onlookers outside, "Go and ask, who is going to testify for Cui Liu." ”
The left and right standing shifts immediately came out, stood at the door of the lobby and asked loudly: "Is there a person from Cui Liu's family?" ”
Everyone heard it clearly, and when they saw that the catcher was coming out, they all looked at Zhu Yuenuan, whispering constantly, but no one stood up.
He asked three times in a row, but when he didn't see anyone, he turned around and went in to reply.
"Do they dare?" When Cui Erlang heard it, he leaned over and said in a weird manner, "He is the county lord, your person, those people are still pointing at you for your life, they stood up and pointed out that little white face, didn't they just offend the county lord?" It will come out if you are stupid. ”
"Bold!" The catcher quickly shouted and interrupted Cui Erlang's words.
"Cui Erlang, do you think the county is shielding them?" Chu Yitong was not angry, but looked at Cui Erlang with a light smile, and said, "You are right, she is from this county, but this has nothing to do with this case, detain your mother and son in the yazhong for half a month, in addition to the crime of selling good housewives between the two of you, the most important thing is that you are bandits, endangering the people in the city." Cui Liu, Cui Erlang, can you plead guilty? ”
"One official word has two mouths, you can say whatever you want. Hum! Cui Erlang stiffened his neck, "I don't accept it!" ”
"County Zun, I have something to say." Seeing this, Zhu Yuenuan calmly saluted Chu Yitong who was directly above.
"Exactly." Chu Yitong raised his hand slightly, and looked at Zhu Yuenuan with a slight surprise.
Zhu Yuenuan walked in. glanced at You Cui, who was silent, and turned to Cui Erlang funny and asked, "Cui Erlang, listening to what you just said, I think the county lord has protected me?" Is it? ”
"Isn't it?" Cui Erlang hung his eyes and snorted arrogantly.
"Why?" Zhu Yuenuan looked at Cui Erlang with a smile and a calm expression.
"You know it in your own heart, and everyone knows it in your heart." Cui Erlang said angrily.
"Oh?" Zhu Yuenuan nodded suddenly, "If I heard correctly, you mean that Lord Xianzun has a personal relationship with me." And I have a personal relationship with You Cui, and we are covered by the county's talents? ”
"Humph!" Cui Erlang snorted coldly, don't look at the roof and force it to calm down, but his face was a little pale, and his bloodless lips trembled uncontrollably.
Zhu Yuenuan stared at him, gradually smiled, and her eyes were cold: "Cui Erlang, you received the silver from Lao Gen'er, is it true?" ”
Cui Erlang's eyes flickered, and his head hung down slightly.
"Is it true that Lao Gen'er is a mountain bandit?" Zhu Yuenuan asked again.
Mrs. Cui on the side trembled and pulled the corner of Cui Erlang's clothes.
Zhu Yuenuan glanced at her. She immediately lowered her head again and shrank back.
Cui Erlang didn't pay attention to Mrs. Cui's hints, and just turned his head and stubbornly.
"Drugged You Cui's tea and tied her up to a sedan chair, aren't you all the same? What are you for? Zhu Yuenuan narrowed her eyes. Stared at Cui Erlang and asked, "He must have promised you to take your mother and son up the mountain afterwards to ensure the safety of the rest of your life, right?" ”
When Cui Erlang heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he closed his mouth and ignored it.
"Say you're a bandit. I'm afraid it's not accurate enough, you're already one of them. Zhu Yue sneered suddenly, retreated slightly, and arched her hand at Chu Yitong, "County Zun, this son is treacherous, you can't stay." ”
Chu Yitong raised his hand slightly, motioned for Zhu Yuenuan to stand aside, and said to You Cui: "You Cui, do you have something to ask for?" ”
"Please be the master, and allow me to take my son Cui Le and the Cui family to fight." You Cui always knelt calmly on the side, at this time he raised his head, looked at Chu Yitong calmly and calmly, and said crisply: "My lord, since I married into the Cui family at the age of sixteen, I have never done anything sorry for the Cui family, but the mother and son of the Cui family, my husband died not more than the first seven, Cui Erlang Lingtang was evil, and I was stabbed with a candlestick, I was able to be thoughtful, four years ago, when my son Ah Le was young, Mrs. Cui drugged me in the soup, and put Cui Erlang in the middle of the night, Ah Le was frightened and cried, I used scissors to cut a knife on the leg to wake up, I'm afraid that Cui Erlang has succeeded, such as such a small action, over the years, the Cui family's mother and son have never been broken, until a few days ago, Cui Erlang lost a big gamble, had a black heart, colluded with the old roots, and sold me for sixty taels of silver, over the years, I have been very cautious and cautious, day and night can not be at ease, such days, I don't want to keep it anymore, I voluntarily give up the Cui family, I only want to be able to live with my son. ”
"Have you figured it out?" Chu Yitong asked softly.
"I have thought about it, and I will never regret it." You Cui kowtowed heavily.
"My lord, we didn't collude with the bandits." When Mrs. Cui heard this, she immediately raised her head in fright, climbed a few steps forward, shook her head and waved her hand urgently, and pointed to Zhu Yuenuan and You Cui after speaking, and said, "It's them, they framed my son, what she said is all false, she has always been used to lying, adults must not believe her." ”
"Your Excellency can send someone to verify." You Cui said loudly, "It's when I entered the mountain at this time, I'm just a guide, but they made up such vicious rumors, it doesn't matter how I You Cui is, the important thing is that I can't harm Zhu Huwei to lose his reputation in vain." ”
The onlookers outside were filled with indignation and scolded the Cui family's mother and son for colluding with the mountain bandits.
Mrs. Cui listened to the noise outside, and peeked at Chu Yitong and Zhu Yuenuan's faces from time to time, and her face gradually turned pale.
You Cui calmly straightened her back and knelt there, looking at her nose and nose, and quietly waiting for Chu Yitong's verdict.
"I ...... I'm not convinced! Cui Erlang suddenly seemed to have cramps, turned to Zhu Yuenuan sharply, and pointed to Chu Yitong, "You guys...... You are all in a gang, he is your person at all, of course you protect him, hum, the dignified county master, spoil a little white face, and connive at his private relationship with this!! You also deserve to be a county master? ”
"Smack!!" The startled wood fell heavily, and everyone couldn't help but shrink back when they heard it.
Chu Yitong's face sank like water, and he looked at Cui Erlang fixedly and said: "Cui Erlang, this county tried you today, naturally the evidence is conclusive, you colluded with mountain bandits, endangered the people of Qimen, and you should be punished!" ”
"County Zun, Cui Erlang is disrespectful, roaring in court, and deserves to be twenty canes." Guan Zaohe, who was standing on the side, raised his eyes and looked at Cui Erlang, and reminded him lightly.
"My lord, we were wrong, we don't dare anymore, spare me~~~" When Mrs. Cui heard this, she finally couldn't resist, and pounced on Cui Erlang and begged for mercy at Chu Yitong miserably, "I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything, I'll do whatever the adult asks me to do, just ask the adult to spare me~~~ I'll ...... It's just such a son~~~" (To be continued.) )
