Ruan Qingyu has been thinking about the most recently, what will happen when Li Zhi finishes sending all the tea in his collection. Thinking about it, I unconsciously showed a childish smile on my face.

Li Zhi came to Qingluo Village with a slight breath, and Ruan Qingyu's smile came into his eyes.

Lost and regained, his mood is simply indescribable.

Come secretly every day, watch him eat and drink tea and fall asleep, at this time I can see him up close, appear within two steps of him, this feeling is very wonderful, there is still a bit of hope in the cautious, my heart is crisp and numb, and I don't feel wronged at all.

Although sometimes he would like to appear in front of Ruan Qingyu when he was sober, but over time, he felt that it was good for Ruan Qingyu to accept him like this, what if he got an inch and was hated?

Because of his relationship with the Luguo Mansion, because of the relationship between the Luguo Mansion and Meng Chenjing, Li Zhi has no confidence in Ruan Qingyu's affairs.

Ruan Qingyu is looking forward to the next meeting with Li Zhi, he actually doesn't want to hang Li Zhi like this, but he can't say that you come out, I don't blame you, this has nothing to do with you or anything, it seems that it is Li Zhi who has been wronged, and Ruan Qingyu can't say such a thing.

So the two froze like this until Cheng Lu's case was arraigned again.

This interrogation is different from the last time, and there are a lot of people who pay attention to it in the capital, especially the literati and ink writers, who will be unable to pass through the door of Jing Zhaoyin. Because it was a second-instance trial, everything that should have been collected was collected, and the other defendant, 'Cheng Changke', would also be present.

This matter is a major incident, and Liu Jin has already told Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang also explained to the emperor that the emperor was suspicious, and he felt ridiculous when he heard it first. But then thinking about Cheng Changke, he did not do anything after the palace examination, thinking about the reason, he was really puzzled. He instructed Liu Jin to make this matter clear.

'Cheng Changke' arrived at Jingzhao Yin's Mansion first, and saw that the people who were tightly surrounded were literati and artists, so he walked over with a smile and greeted them. After someone asked about this, he said with an unchanged face: "There are so many people with the same name in the world, maybe the woman is mistaken." ”

"But Cheng Lu said that you and her husband look exactly the same. How does this explain? ”

'Cheng Changke' frowned in distress, and seemed reluctant to say anything, but he still spoke: "Don't hide it from Brother Tai." I also think it's strange that there are indeed many people with the same name and surname in this world, but it is really incredible that people with the same name and surname look exactly the same. But I really don't know the woman. In the end, it depends on the results of today's court trial. ”

When everyone saw that 'Cheng Changke' looked puzzled and confident, their hearts were even more swaying. Originally, all the words were said by the woman alone, and Cheng Changke is now in the name of the new champion, and now he is so calm, everyone's minds are crooked, but they doubt the woman's purpose.

They are not professional investigators, and they don't think much about why the woman didn't come to her door five years ago if she had a purpose, but after so long. They speculate only on the will of their own minds to guess the truth of the matter.

'Cheng Changke' saw that everyone's faces changed, and he felt slightly proud in his heart. He bowed his hand to everyone and entered the yamen with his entourage, he deliberately came early for a while, just to leave a good impression in front of these people, after all, the pen of a scholar is not forgiving. In the same way, the reader is pedantic, lowering his posture and making them feel respected, which is better than anything else. Although he has made enough preparations for today's game, there are not too many good words, isn't it?

'Cheng Changke' came in not long after Cheng Lu's entered, still in the same clothes that he had come to sue that day, but his expression was very calm and firm. The readers who originally wanted to say a few prickly words swallowed the words one by one.

Even if 'Cheng Changke' pretends to be similar, in the face of real determination, he will lose because he is not distracted.

Liu Jin sat in the hall wearing the official mansion, and the officials sang in unison: "Wei ...... Wu ......"

"Come on, Xuancheng Lu's go to the court!"

Cheng Lu was brought in from outside, knelt on one side in an orderly manner, and kowtowed to Liu Jin.

"The folk woman Cheng Lu knocked to see the adult."

Liu Jin looked at her and nodded, "Cheng Lu, you want to sue Cheng Changke, the current head of the household department, yes or no?" ”

"Lord Hui, what the woman wants to sue is the current household secretary, but he is not Cheng Changke!"

Liu Jin raised his eyebrows, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he feigned anger: "Whether he is not up to you to decide, it depends on the evidence." ”

Cheng Lushi didn't speak, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu Jin didn't want to embarrass her, so he continued: "Invite Cheng Changke up." ”

The reason why I used the invitation was because Cheng Changke had an official position, and even if he wanted to interrogate him, he had to be polite. However, it is unknown whether Liu Jin is polite on the surface or really polite.

'Cheng Changke' was invited, Liu Jin looked at him and said expressionlessly: "The emperor ordered this official to investigate the case in detail, this official must not slack off, you and I don't have to kneel at the same level, but we still have to grieve Cheng Shangshu to stand." ”

Liu Jin said this very politely, but it was only polite. didn't even give Cheng Changke a superfluous look.

'Cheng Changke' was angry, but he had a gentle look on his face, and arched his hand towards Liu Jin and said: "What did Lord Liu say, since this case involves me, I should naturally fully cooperate, if there is any grievance or not grievance." ”

What he said was very beautiful, and it was so righteous that everyone outside couldn't help but secretly applaud 'Cheng Changke'.

Liu Jin was not impressed by the beautiful words he said at all, he focused on the evidence, and nothing else mattered.

Liu Jin looked at Cheng Lu's again and asked, "Cheng Lu's, is he the person you are talking about?" ”

Cheng Lushi stared at him directly when 'Cheng Changke' came in, his eyes were very resentful, and when he saw Liu Jin say this, his eyes didn't move, and he replied directly: "Yes, my lord, it's this Hubu Shangshu." ”

'Cheng Changke' was palpitated by Cheng Lu's eyes, and the smile on his face almost couldn't be hung up.

Liu Jin asked 'Cheng Changke' at this time: "Cheng Shangshu." Did you have a woman stop your palanquin more than half a month ago, claiming to be your lady, and you didn't know her at all. Seeing that she was entangled and pushed her, that woman was this Cheng Lu, yes or no? ”

'Cheng Changke' saw that Liu Jin said clearly, so he didn't deny it, "Yes, my lord, when I went down to the court, I was stopped by this woman." I don't know her at all, she still comes up and pulls and pulls, I'm a reader. Men and women naturally can't let her pull it, so they pushed her away. ”

Liu Jin saw that 'Cheng Changke' looked wronged, his eyes narrowed, and he said expressionlessly: "Cheng Shangshu, you just need to answer yes and no." ”

'Cheng Changke' saw that Liu Jin didn't give him face like this. His face changed at the moment. Then he lowered his head and slowly squeezed out a sentence: "It's me who said more." ”

Liu Jin is the most disgusted person is corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he is also the kind of flamboyant and flamboyant who doesn't do practical things, and 'Cheng Changke' is even more annoying than the kind he hates the most, Liu Jin naturally won't give him a good face. Give him back face? It would be nice not to sweep his face.

"Cheng Shangshu, after that, you sent someone to arrest this Cheng Lu clan, Cheng Lu clan ran all the way to the outskirts of Beijing and was rescued, is there such a thing?"

'Cheng Changke''s reaction was completely unexpected by Liu Jin, "There is no such thing!" My lord! I didn't know this woman at all. She just stopped my palanquin, why should I send someone to arrest her? ”

'Cheng Changke' has already thought it through. If the person who saved her was a powerful person, how could she let her come to Jingzhao Yin Mansion alone to complain, thinking that she was also an ordinary person who saved her without knowing the situation, and now that she knows that she has a holiday with her, she will not come out to testify for Cheng Lu no matter what. That's why 'Cheng Changke' said this.

Liu Jin looked at him and said word by word: "Cheng Shangshu, you must know Cheng Lu's previous words, she said that when you pushed her, she found out that you were not really 'Cheng Changke', and then her brain was very messy and walked around, and then three or four people came out to arrest her, she had no relatives and no enemies in the capital, the only one who had contact was you, and she happened to find your problem, how do you explain this?" ”

When Cheng Changke saw Liu Jin say this, he said angrily: "My lord! How do you want me to explain this? I have no grievances with this woman, why should I arrest her? As for me not Cheng Changke, my lord, do you really believe this woman's one-sided words? I have studied hard for ten years to get the emperor not to give up the position of champion, I am grateful, although I have done nothing in the past five years, I also want to serve the country, but who stipulates that if you study well, you will definitely be able to be a good official? I have been working hard for five years, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and now this woman's words have denied my past?! ”

'Cheng Changke' said very angrily, his face was flushed, and his voice was full of emotion, as if he had been wronged.

If Liu Jin hadn't carefully investigated, he would probably have been deceived by his acting skills.

Liu Jin just snorted coldly for this, looked at 'Cheng Changke' and said: "Why is Cheng Shangshu so excited, Cheng Lu's claim that he has wronged me Jingzhao Yin Yamen is naturally open to accept it, and there is naturally evidence to watch right and wrong." The official just asked you if you had sent someone to arrest the woman, and you answered truthfully. ”

'Cheng Changke' a mouthful of old blood poured up, he said so, Liu Jin covered it so lightly? He really didn't mean to? But thinking about it, he still can't offend Liu Jin when he is in Jing Zhaoyin, at least not now.

"I didn't send someone to arrest Cheng Lu."

Liu Jin nodded after hearing the answer, then looked at Cheng Lu's and asked: "Cheng Lu's, you said that the people who were chasing you at that time mentioned that you offended their master, and their master was promoted to become a second-grade Dayuan, and the name of 'Cheng Changke' was not mentioned during the period, and everything is your guess, right?" ”

Only then did Cheng Lushi take his eyes off 'Cheng Changke', a person like him, she wanted to vomit when she looked at it more.

"My lord, those people really didn't say who was the one at that time, but the clothes they were wearing were obviously the clothes of the household of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, so it was naturally self-evident that the lord who was promoted to the official in their mouths was self-evident."

Before Liu Jin could speak, 'Cheng Changke' spoke first: "Joke! What do you say they are wearing? Even if they wear the clothes of my housekeepers, it doesn't prove that they are from my house, what if someone frames me? This is not evidence at all! ”

'Smack'! With a bang, Liu Jin slapped the startled wood and said angrily: "Cheng Shangshu, this is the public court!" ”

'Cheng Changke' arched his hand towards Liu Jin with a pale, indicating that he knew, and he didn't want to say anything more about Liu Jin being so unworthy of his face.

Liu Jin saw that 'Cheng Changke' was honest, so he looked at Cheng Lu's and said: "Cheng Lu's, although all kinds of coincidences in this matter involve 'Cheng Changke', but after all, there is no direct evidence, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Cheng Lushi kowtowed and said slowly: "My lord, the people's woman came to sue not because the Hubu Shangshu sent someone to arrest the people's women, but because the Hubu Shangshu is not the real 'Cheng Changke', he is a fake!" A person's name can be similar and their appearance can be similar, but it is no coincidence that both the name and the appearance are similar. Please make decisions for the people's women! ”

Although 'Cheng Changke' knew it in his heart, he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart when he heard Cheng Lu's say this, but on the surface, he looked at Cheng Lu's with an angry look, and that look was really like being wronged.

Liu Jin didn't even look at 'Cheng Changke', because Cheng Lu's wanted to sue the second grade of the household department Shangshu Dayuan, so he didn't ask so carefully for the sake of evidence.

"Cheng Lu, what evidence do you have for saying that?"

Cheng Lushi was still full of confidence, looked at Liu Jin and said firmly: "There is a mole at the mouth of my husband's tiger, but this person doesn't, there is only one named Cheng Changke in Chengjia Village, Linchi County, Guyang, that is my husband, since Cheng Changke admitted that his hometown was there five years ago, then this person is indeed my husband, but this person, who is now standing here in the Hubu Shangshu, claims to be the new champion Cheng Changke five years ago, he is not my husband, he also said, he doesn't even know me, right and wrong, please know the adult. ”

'Cheng Changke' was a little anxious when he heard this, he sent someone to Chengjia Village to kill Cheng Changke's mother, but the people haven't come back yet, he doesn't worry about their failure, but an old guy who is about to die of illness, three people are enough. And here he got several poems written by Cheng Changke, and when the time comes, as long as everyone in Hejing believes that he is the real champion of the new department, it will be done! It's just that listening to what Cheng Lu said, he is still a little weak-hearted.

Liu Jin nodded after hearing this, and looked at Cheng Changke: "Cheng Shangshu, do you remember what you said in the main hall five years ago?" You said that you were from Chengjia Village, Linchi County, Guyang, yes or no? (To be continued.) )
