Chapter 35: Unjust, False and Wrongly Decided Cases
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cui Guangsheng asked Cui Mei to take a long-day leave to the saint, and he was determined to go back to Cui's mansion to explain today's events to him clearly.
Although Cui Guangsheng was born as a military general, he also read books, and the people in the house are also literate, and his family style is also open-minded.
Cui Mei didn't dare to hide it, so he told the story one by one, of course, he automatically filtered out the part of Bai Yueshuang.
"You said that Murong Qing fell in love with a little palace maid?" Cui Guangsheng sat in the study and stroked his beard, "I said, why does he keep bringing the topic to the imperial kitchen today, it turns out that it is for this." ”
Cui Guangsheng, who had heard of Murong Qing's amorous name, had heard of it, but he still firmly believed that Murong Qing was not a person who would mislead the country because of his children's personal feelings. But the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, who can guarantee it?
"Don't you learn from him, what kind of palace maid are you looking for?!" Cui Guangsheng disdainfully admonished Cui Mei, "By the way, you have also reached the age of considering the affairs of men and women, but you must not learn from Murong Qing, your marriage, it doesn't matter if your father says it, it doesn't count if the emperor says it, it doesn't matter if the Manchu Dynasty says it!" In the future, it is estimated that you are not marrying a county lord, but at least a boudoir lady, it depends on who the emperor wants to envelop at that time. ”
Cui Guangsheng just said it casually, but he didn't want to inadvertently poke Cui Mei's sore spot.
"Yes, father." But Cui Mei still listens to Cui Guangsheng very much, and he has always respected his father and rarely disobeys him.
"It's a big bad thing that you offended Xu Huai today." Cui Guangsheng's vast eyebrows flashed a trace of worry. He has been an official in the same dynasty as Xu Huai for many years, one is a civil official with power in the government and the opposition, and the other is a military attache who holds military power, it is inevitable that there will be teeth when he knocks his tongue, fortunately, Cui Guangsheng is a generous person, and he generally rarely cares about Xu Huai.
"Father, that Xu Huai is full of private pockets, in fact, I can't get used to it. What's more, the Holy One doesn't like him! Cui Mei replied respectfully.
Cui Guangsheng sighed and glanced at Cui Mei is eyes, this kid is still too young and has too little experience, he only asked Cui Mei leisurely: "Since the emperor doesn't like him, why don't you kill him?" Or dismiss his officials? ”
"This ......" Cui Mei couldn't answer.
"Because, since ancient times, traitors have many capable ministers." Cui Guangsheng came slowly, "On the one hand, the emperor hates Xu Huai, but on the other hand, he can't do without him. ”
Cui Mei had never thought about this, and his father's words woke him up all of a sudden. Coming out of Cui Guangsheng's study, Cui Mei glanced back and realized that he shouldn't be rash this morning, and he was really reckless in the court. The mess he broke into can only be cleaned up by his elderly father.
Bai Yueshuang listened to Cui Mei's words, and her dancing skills improved by leaps and bounds, she studied and practiced hard every day, and Mama Su was also very happy to mention her. Mama Su likes Bai Yueshuang's diligence and patience very much, on the contrary, Egret is always a little impatient when she practices dance.
Soon it was the end of the month, and Bai Yuebing's silver was once again passed in through Eunuch Zhang's hand as promised. Bai Yueshuang took out five taels of silver from it and returned it to Biliu.
Biliu was practicing, and while pressing her legs, she dealt with Bai Yueshuang and said, "Just put the silver on the table." I'm afraid of losing your golden butterfly ring, sew it in the pillow, go get it yourself. ”
"Where is it so troublesome!" Bai Yueshuang smiled, it just so happened that her pillow had just been washed the day before yesterday, and the mattress pillowcases in the song and dance workshop were all exactly the same, just right! Bai Yueshuang took her pillow to the Biliu bed, and put Biliu's pillow on her own bed.
"I just changed your pillow, don't you dislike it?" Bai Yueshuang smiled.
"I don't dislike it." Biliu pressed her leg harder again, she had never been a person who had a lot of things.
I don't plan to bring the golden butterfly ring white moon cream in the short term, and I don't bother to open the pillowcase and take it out, so it's good to just let it stay inside.
After Bai Yueshuang finished paying back Biliu's silver, she got up and went out to practice.
When she came back, the whole cabaret was in chaos.
I saw a large square chair of black lacquered wood resting in the center of the courtyard, and Biliu was firmly pressed on it, and several old women stood aside with a serious expression.
"Do you admit it! You stole the egret's hairpin! An old woman asked viciously.
"I didn't take the egret's hairpin, I didn't take it!" Bi Liu's eyes were filled with tears, and she struggled to shake her head, "I really didn't take it, Mama I was wronged!" ”
"If you get the stolen goods, you will be hard-mouthed!" A grandmother unceremoniously rolled up her sleeves, picked up a bamboo tart and hit Biliu's lower body!
"I was wronged! I was wronged! I really didn't take it! Biliu wept silently.
Bai Yueshuang didn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly rushed up to protect Bi Liu, and explained to the grandmothers who were waiting around her: "Bi Liu said that she didn't take it, this must be a misunderstanding!" I also ask you to check it carefully. ”
"How else do we need to verify?" One of the grandmothers said impatiently, "I just got the stolen goods in her bed." ”
As she spoke, the grandmother raised the hairpin in her hand.
This is indeed the hairpin of the egret.
"Moon Frost, I really didn't take it, please believe me!" Biliu grabbed Yueshuang's hand and shook it desperately.
Needless to say, Bai Yueshuang also believes in her personality and will not take the things of the egret.
"Mama, Mama! There must be some misunderstanding here, Biliu is not that kind of person! Bai Yueshuang knelt down and begged the grandmothers around Biliu.
Those grandmothers seemed to be hard-hearted, completely ignoring Bai Yueshuang's pleas. If people get stolen goods, what else is there to deny? As long as Biliu signs and draws the charge, Mama Han will be able to settle this public case and give an account to the egret. What's more, people with unclean hands and feet are not suitable to stay in the song and dance workshop.
The bamboo tarts fell on Bi Liu's body one after another, and Bi Liu's lower body was soon stained red by the blood oozing from the flesh.
Bai Yueshuang cried and begged everyone, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her.
In the rounds of beatings, Biliu just didn't let go, and she didn't agree to confess her guilt and draw detention, and soon, she was beaten to death.
A grandmother ordered someone to pour a basin of cold water on Biliu's head, so that Biliu woke up and continued to beat her.
Bai Yueshuang really couldn't see it, gritted her teeth, snatched the bamboo tart from the hand of a grandmother, and asked them loudly: "Since you didn't catch it red-handed, you have no reason to convict Biliu, you are abusing lynching like this now!" ”
"Abuse of lynching? Hmph~" A grandmother sneered, "The thing was found from Biliu's pillow, besides her, who else will sew the hairpin into her pillow!" ”
What the? This hairpin was found in Biliu's pillow?
Bai Yueshuang only felt that the blood on her body from head to toe was cold.
