Chapter 2 Sharing Family Difficulties
The inexplicable fog came and went quickly, disrupting the rhythm of the new year at the beginning of the year and adding an intriguing color to the golden city full of variables. The sky was shining brightly, and it broke through the thick fog and pierced the pupils like sharp arrows. After lunch, people push open a window and peek their heads out, and a rainbow surrounds the sun, which is novel and beautiful.
Under the eaves, the kettle flows smoothly and carelessly, drop by drop, like a fish in the water that only has a three-second memory. In an instant, they forgot everything, and a new world was in front of them.
"It's not three quarters, and there is still half a pillar of incense before the punctuality." Zhu Rong rubbed the corners of her forehead and sighed softly, and her eyes curved like a tooth moon were even more sour. She sat on the soft bed with her lips pursed into pins and needles, not knowing what she was going to do or how to feel at ease.
Just last night, when everyone's eyes were all focused on the Jin family's cotton warehouse, Bai Shuyuan quietly led people to deliver three boxes. Zhu Rong was indeed panicked for a while, and her charming peach blossom eyes shone with a sparkling luster in the firelight. The two looked at each other like this for a while, and Zhu Rong finally bit her lip and opened the door.
She didn't ask, and he didn't say. It's just that Zhu Rong vaguely felt that this box should be what the third aunt Tailianzhu was looking for in every possible way. Now they are lying peacefully under their beds.
"In the whole Jincheng, except for him and me, I'm afraid no one knows where this thing is! Even the driver who carried the boxes that day was probably ......" Zhu Rong was restless, she had no doubt about Bai Shuyuan's demeanor, the man who was personable and knowledgeable back then was brutally cut off by this unpredictable world, revealing sharp edges and corners.
"......"
Zhu Rong was entangled and uneasy in her heart, since she had married into the Jin family, she was a person from Jinchi, and by doing this, she had lost her three virtues as a wife. Moreover, the daughter-in-law of the Jin family rebelled against the Jin family, and it would spread all over Jincheng within half an hour. At that time, it will be light to make the people laugh, if you betray and go to prison and be tortured, then life is better than death!
"Run?"
Zhu Rong sneered, now that her father has passed away, she is alone and helpless, even if she escapes, where can she flee to? The originally ruddy cheeks gradually lost their blood, and looking at the dripping water leak, I couldn't help but think of old things.
Time is like a torch, and I still remember that my father was still a doctor. He shouldered the mission to move the capital to Beijing with Emperor Yongle. At that time, she was just a girl who was just beginning to fall in love. When I first entered Jincheng, I met with Baishuyuan Pingshui. At that time, the Jin and Lin families had already married and had a six-year-old daughter. Ho, that Jin Xiaoqi, well-behaved and cute, is very likable.
Thinking about it, the corners of Zhu Rong's mouth hooked, and the pair of deep dimples were sweetly hung on her face. Just in an instant, the charming peach blossom eyes changed to a worrying color, still staring at the water leak, but the smile no longer existed.
The world is changing!
Suddenly, one day, the late father detected the poison in the medicinal diet prepared by the Lin family. This accident suddenly brought the Lin family to extermination, and the battle of Jingjing left a deep shadow on Emperor Yongle, otherwise he would not have gone to great lengths to move the capital to Beijing. For the remnants of Jianwen, Emperor Yongle showed no mercy! After the execution of the Lin family, he gave his father the surname of the country and changed Li to Zhu. He should have been promoted to the rank of knight by chance, but for some reason he chose to stay in Jincheng.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the innocent child becomes a vicissitudes of life, and a pure teenager becomes a successful man. The snow is drifting, the spring water is murmuring, the summer is scorching, and the yellow leaves are dashing. The annual rings ruthlessly ran over everyone's foreheads, turning a pool of spring water into a sea of vicissitudes.
Lament!
Zhu Rong thought a lot, and her gloomy eyes were full of contradictions. She couldn't figure out why Bai Shuyuan could conclude that it would be foolproof to hide things here, and she couldn't guess why Bai Shuyuan believed in her so much.
Is it just because of the edge that hasn't been punctured?
A quarter of an hour is like duckweed in the sea in a long life, but a quarter of an hour of torment is like a haze echoing in a narrow valley.
Before the time was punctual, the winter sun had tilted westward, and it lost its noon fierceness in an instant. Like an old man who is afraid of the cold, he wrapped his cotton jacket tightly, shrunk and helplessly waited for the night to come.
The drums of the public hall sounded at the right time, and the rapid drums spread with majesty in all directions. After a while, the crowd was gathered outside the gate, and in the cold day, they bent their necks with their sleeves, giving full play to the simplicity of the people's customs.
"Ascension!"
Seeing that people were almost coming, Li Zhidi picked up the waking wood and said, "Bang!" A slap was made on the official platform, and then the tightly dressed officials on both sides of the public hall beat their sticks with their cold cheeks and let out a low shout.
"Mighty ——!"
After the aftermath ended, Li Zhidi pouted and smiled, stared at Bai Shuyuan, who was expressionless among the people in the front row, and said lightly: "Brother Bai, why don't you enter the court and interrogate with this official?" ”
Bai Shuyuan shook his head slightly, sneered, and said lightly: "It's all standing, where is it different?" ”
"Ho." Li Zhidi smashed his mouth full of slander, his little eyes purred around, and he scolded secretly in his heart: Don't be ashamed of your face, it's really a big shelf! But thinking about it, Li Zhidi didn't dare to say what was in his heart, "Above the court, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled and the officials, in order to show the solemnity of the court, all people must stand." Aren't you embarrassed? ”
"How dare Bai break the rules of the court, since he is standing everywhere, I think he is still standing here! Besides......" Bai Shuyuan turned around and looked at it, and said loudly: "No matter where I stand, Lord Li will give a fair answer to the people of the county, won't he?" ”
Bai Shuyuan is smiling and hiding a knife, while Li Zhidi is full of contemplation.
Seeing Li Zhidi's fat face turned into the color of pig liver, Bai Shuyuan's heart blossomed. The big eyes that narrowed were full of teasing, he had already prepared everything for Li Zhidi, just waiting for the door that was waiting in the dark to open slowly.
"Bring the sinner, Linlang, and the prisoner Jin Chi to be put on trial!"
Bai Shuyuan quickly deduced in his mind to ensure that today's interrogation was foolproof. When he was thinking about it, Li Zhidi had already opened the court. Hearing that only Linlang and Jin Chi were mentioned, the corners of Bai Shuyuan's eyes full of sneers rose high, "My lord seems to have forgotten that there is another person." ”
The words of mockery suddenly reached everyone's ears. Although the drums covered the words of the messengers, after a noon spread, it was already known that the Du family's wine cellar was on fire and that firearms were hidden. Suddenly, the sound of the urn outside the public hall suddenly rose, and there was a great accusation that Li Zhidi was shielding Du Laoqi.
Li Zhidi naturally knew the meaning of Bai Shuyuan's words. However, if Du Laoqi and Jin Chi are interrogated together, Bai Shuyuan will definitely not give the two a chance to turn over. At that time, the Bai family will dominate in Jincheng, and he will be the county guard.
The noisy discussion outside the public hall became more and more intense, and at this moment, under the pressure of everyone, as a dignified county guard, Li Zhidi suddenly felt a little unbearable on his face.
He struck again and shouted, "Silence! Then he pulled down the corners of his mouth and faced Bai Shuyuan, and said dishappily: "The official has his own decision in this case, and he doesn't bother Brother Bai." ”
While the two were talking, many people gathered outside the public hall one after another. The Jin family is a big family, which naturally attracts the attention of the whole city. Among these people, there are not only curious people, but also some watchers, and some brothers-in-law are rubbing their hands and pacing outside the door with anxiety.
Those who can stand in Jincheng are by no means idle people, and Li Zhidi in front of Bai Shuyuan is even more cunning and ruthless. Don't look at the smile on his chubby face, this is a real smiling tiger. In the morning, although Li Zhidi agreed to Bai Shuyuan's arrangement, he also had his own decision in his heart.
"Look at what I said, it's making adults worry a lot again!" Bai Shuyuan laughed at himself, raised his eyebrows, and tucked the shadow between his eyes into the depths. "Then I won't bother, there are so many people watching, Master Li will definitely give everyone an explanation fairly and justly." As he spoke, Bai Shuyuan actually stretched out his hand to push aside the crowd and turned away.
Li Zhidi was stunned by what Bai Shuyuan did, shook his head and looked at Bai Shuyuan's departing figure and frowned. What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?
