When Guo Chengsi said that the concubine of Zhang Shilang's family was going to be tortured and exiled for 3,000 miles, Zhong Ziyuan's fingers suddenly trembled, although the movements were very subtle, but he was keenly noticed.

Guo Chengsi's heart was surprised and delighted, he carefully held her hand in his palm, and said softly: "Ziyuan, in fact, you can hear it, right, you also think she is very pitiful, right......?"

It's a pity that no matter what he said later, Zhong Ziyuan didn't have any other reaction. She just sat dumbfounded, like a fine porcelain doll, and her amber eyes stared calmly ahead. Guo Chengsi refused to give up, and he immediately called the guards loudly to chase back the Liu Yuan.

The poor judge had just returned to the mansion, and before he could get on the chair, he was forcibly invited out of the mansion by Guo Chenghe's wolf-like guards. Forget it, those barbarians who killed a thousand knives refused to even let him sit in the carriage, but directly helped him onto a tall Qingcong horse.

said "offended" and then whipped it down, Qingcong horse neighed and galloped away, and Liu Yuanju sat on the horse and swayed from side to side and almost didn't fall. He was so frightened that he leaned down and hugged the horse's neck tightly, not daring to open his eyes, and narrowly missed his shriveled ass into four petals along the way.

finally arrived at the gate of the Prince of Shu's mansion in a daze, and he was thrown directly into his soft pocket by a group of people who had been waiting there for a long time, and then carried all the way to the gate of the courtyard where Zhong Ziyuan lived. If this soft pocket could be slower, he would still be very grateful. But along the way, the two tall guards who carried the soft pockets actually used to run.

It's been a long way. The victim Liu Yuanju tightly grasped the slide bars on both sides of the soft pocket with both hands, his eyes were straight, and his mouth was tight. An old face was also red. finally arrived at the destination, and when Xue Ji personally helped him out, his legs and stomach were still trembling involuntarily, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Yukihime didn't care so much, and while urging, he walked in with his arm. Poor Liu Yuanju walked forward tremblingly, and at the same time used a voice that had been frightened. Accompanied by careful questioning: "Miss Xueji, you have to tell the truth to the old man, but what is wrong with Miss Zhong." Angered the prince? ”

Although he didn't know what Guo Chengsi was calling him back in such a hurry, what he was for. The only reason he could think of was something wrong with the patient.

Yukihime saw that his face changed color in fright, and secretly felt funny. She deliberately showed a look of embarrassment. After pondering for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "It's hard to say, you better go and see it yourself!" She refused to say it directly, and Liu Yuan's judgment couldn't, so he had to be careful and stepped into the room in fear.

Guo Chengsi had already greeted him happily, and his eyes were amazingly bright at this moment, which was completely different from the gloom some time ago. Because in his opinion. Zhong Ziyuan's slight tremor was already a big surprise for him. It seemed to him that the thick shell deep inside her had cracked a crack. Carefully starting to receive information from the outside world is an excellent start.

Listening to Guo Chengsi's narration of what happened, Liu Yuanju finally let go of his heart all the way, and what he wanted to do more at this moment was to scold. He stared at Guo Chengsi fiercely, and was about to speak, but it can be seen that he is so cautious and entangled, and after thinking about it, he finally closed his mouth again.

Liu Yuan sentenced to practice medicine for many years, and has been in the harem and wealthy nobles all the year round.

In fact, just listening to Guo Chengsi's description, he really couldn't conclude that this Miss Zhong was a reaction to his words, or an unconscious action at all. However, at present, appeasing the 'Chang'an ghosts' who are in an extremely excited state is obviously the first priority.

So he swept away the previous wolf bèi, smiled lightly, stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "It's really gratifying, the old man said before, as long as you keep talking to her and stimulate her brain, she will definitely hear it, and she will slowly reflect it." Lo and behold, it doesn't work right away! You can also tell her more about the past, which will have a double effect on awakening her memory. ”

"So, she just gave me a reflection?" Guo Chengsi was a little stunned, with a handsome face that seemed to be sad and happy, and seemed to cry and complain

"Yes, she can't give you a big reaction at the moment, maybe just moving her fingers, maybe just blinking her eyes, maybe just a smile, but these small movements mean that she is slowly getting better"

Guo Chengsi subconsciously looked back at Zhong Ziyuan, who was sitting on the long collapse, the bun on her head was tied by herself, and the hairpin was also inserted by herself.

If she was still the previous Jia Ming, she would definitely blush and categorically refuse her touch, if she was still the previous Jia Ming, she would definitely hide away like a rabbit, even if she was forced to get close to herself, she would definitely secretly mumble dissatisfied

Although she is sitting there quietly now and within his reach, how much he hopes that she is still the same Jia Ming as before, even if she dies in men's clothes, she will not admit that she is a woman, even if she is busy all day long, she can't see a few faces, but it is better than the current picture of being at the mercy of others and lifeless.

"Guo Shizi, Guo Shizi" Just when his mind was full of thoughts, Liu Yuanju cautiously called: "Now that Miss Zhong is fine, the old man will leave!" ”

"More sir, this is the consultation fee, please accept it." Guo Chengsi came back to his senses at this time, he took out a handful of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, and without counting them, he stuffed them all into the hands of Liu Yuanju.

Liu Yuanju took a peek, and the top one was one hundred taels, and this stack was at least five or six hundred taels, and he was happy in his heart. pretended to postpone it for a while, and then took the silver ticket and left happily.

With the encouragement of Liu Yuan's judgment, Guo Chengsi became more and more confident, and he and Qingdai took turns talking to her. Later, there was really nothing to say, so he simply hummed in an already hoarse voice. He hummed all the slang he had learned from the barracks, though the lyrics were vague. The tone is rough and powerful, like a lone wolf howling, full of wildness.

Qing Dai sat on the embroidery pier at the door. Holding his cheeks, he looked at the two in front of him without blinking. The man sang in a low voice, and the woman leaned on the couch and listened quietly, looking like a quiet and beautiful picture.

But the man's singing voice became lower and lower, and it became more and more hoarse Qing Dai was really worried to listen to, and she finally couldn't help but pour a warm tea and put it in his hand, and whispered: "Lord Shizi, you keep singing like this." Miss will be distressed. Why don't you take a break and drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat! ”

Guo Chengsi asked hoarsely: "You say, did your young lady hear it?" Because Zhong Ziyuan didn't give him any other reaction, his heart became up and down again. Suffer from gains and losses.

Qing Dai suddenly said in surprise: "I must have heard it, I must have heard it, you must have heard it, you see, the young lady is actually asleep." ”

Guo Chengsi was stunned, he looked up at the window. I don't know when. The bright moon had crept up to the roof. And Zhong Ziyuan in front of him also slowly closed her eyes, she didn't scream, she didn't sob, she slept very peacefully, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy in his heart.

He gently tugged the blanket on her body, looked at her for a long time, and sighed secretly in his heart: she had really lost a lot of weight, and this disease almost lost half of her life.

Come to think of it. Guo Chengsi's face showed a touch of distress, and he curled his slender middle finger. Caressed Zhong Ziyuan's still pale cheeks, his expression was indescribably gentle and affectionate.

Qing Dai felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly stood up and coughed lightly, and said stubbornly: "Lord Shizi, you should go back early!" Miss, I'll take good care of it here. ”

Guo Chengsi chuckled, but carefully picked her up with the blanket and walked towards the bed. Qingdai couldn't just follow behind. Fortunately, Guo Chengsi just carefully put her on the collapse, and after helping her tidy up the blanket on her body by the way, he whispered to Qing Dai: "It's windy tonight, take care of your young lady, don't let her be blown by the wind." ”

"Yes." Qing Dai is a little scared, do you still need to tell these words? She is Miss's intimate little padded jacket, how could she make Miss freeze

When Guo Chengsi returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, it was already a child, and Sui'er sat down under the lamp and quietly did the needlework in hand. She saw Guo Chengsi open the door curtain and come in, and hurriedly got up happily to greet him. "The prince is back." She stepped forward quickly to untie Guo Chengsi's cloak, and asked the little maid to fetch water, she personally rolled up her sleeves and waited for him to wash up, and then said: "Grandpa Guo has asked people to come to see it three times, and said that if you come back, you must go over and reply." ”

Guo Chengsi frowned and said, "At this hour? I'm afraid my father has already fallen asleep! ”

His hoarse and piercing voice startled Sui'er, and she exclaimed, "Lord Shizi, why did your voice become like this?" ”

Guo Chengsi raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, and said lightly: "Autumn is irritable, and I talk a lot today, so I have become like this, and it is not in the way." ”

How many words do you have to say to make your voice look like this? Sui'er was very distressed, and she hurriedly said: "The slave maid warmed a lily autumn pear white fungus soup in the small kitchen, which is the most nourishing for the lungs, and it is good for the throat to use some of the prince." She beckoned the little maid to serve it. Guo Chengsi didn't have much appetite, waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll go to my father's first to have a look." ”

Seeing Guo Chengsi striding away, Sui'er's eyes suddenly darkened, and then she cheered up again and began to prepare bath water for Guo Chengsi.

When I came to the study of Guo Tinghui, the prince of Zhenguo, I saw that it was brightly lit, and there were two tall guards standing on the left and right at the door. Guo Chengsi cleared his throat gently, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Father, father"

"Come in." Guo Tinghui's slightly tired voice came from inside.

Guo Chengsi pushed open the door and walked in. There is a candlestick with five candles in the study, so it is very bright.

Guo Tinghui sat at the desk, wearing a homely royal blue calamus pattern straight robe, the sleeve of his right hand was rolled up high, and he was holding a wolf pen with a white jade rod bowing his head and writing hard. When he saw Guo Chengsi coming in, he put down the brush in his hand, frowned, and said, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Guo Chengsi didn't care much, sat down on the long collapse on the side, poured a cup of tea for himself, drank it slowly, and then said: "I was pulled by the prince of Shu to play chess, so I sat for a while." ”

Guo Tinghui raised his eyebrows and looked at him when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What's the matter with your voice?" ”

Guo Chengsi smiled and said lightly: "Maybe it's because I talk a little more, and it becomes like this." ”

Guo Tinghui shook his head amusedly: "Could it be that Zhu Fei is reluctant to give you a cup of tea?" However, he quickly put this question aside, stared at Guo Chengsi with a little sternness, and asked, "I heard that the concubine of Zhang Shilang's family in the Ministry of Officials today came to you to sue her biological father for abusing and killing good people, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes!" Guo Chengsi picked out a piece of mung bean cake from the plate in front of him and threw it into his mouth, and then asked in surprise: "If someone complains, I will take it, is there any problem?" ”

Guo Chengsi's understatement answer made Guo Tinghui almost blow up his lungs. After half a ring, he said with a dark face: "You are the waiter of the Criminal Department, he is the waiter of the Ministry of Justice, according to the same level, the two of you are the same, and it is also the matter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to take it, why do you take this situation?" ”

Guo Chengsi didn't expect his father to be angry about this matter, and he hurriedly explained: "The complaint was originally handed to Lord Shangshu, and later he said that the first part of this case had been tried by me, so I knew the inside story best, so he sent someone to send it to me." I took it with reason, is there any problem? ”

"Old fox." Guo Tinghui couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, and sighed secretly in his heart, his son is younger, although he is shrewd and capable, but in the end he is still more tender than those old foxes who have almost cultivated to perfection.

So he pressed his patience and carefully solved Guo Chenghe's doubts. It turns out that this era advocates the rule of filial piety, even if the emperor dares to disobey the words of the queen mother, the next day there will be a crazy excerpt of the imperial history to criticize, and often the rhetoric is fierce, regardless of the emperor's face. Until the emperor honestly apologized to the empress dowager.

Because the sage Confucius once said: 'The father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and it is in it.' 'Since ancient times, kings have ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and they would rather do it than bend the law for filial piety. This son is hidden from his father, and that is a matter of course.

In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, Confucian classics were used as the theoretical basis for adjudicating cases, which was known as the "Spring and Autumn Prison Break". It also formalized the judicial principle of "intimacy and concealment". Since then, successive dynasties have continued this principle and brought it into play, and the later dynasties have expanded it to "cohabitation and seclusion", that is, slaves and maids who are not related to each other also have the obligation to conceal each other's crimes.

So even if this girl knows that her father has committed a crime, according to the law, she should do everything possible to help hide it, instead of running out to denounce it.

Even if this squire is the real murderer, he can be denounced by others, but it can't be his own wife and children. In a case like this that violates human ethics, whoever takes it is unlucky. Because then they will be driven crazy by the crazy verbal criticism of the imperial historians. (To be continued......)
