Chapter 129: Fight Back
Zhang Qicheng wore a tooth tag and walked into the palace from Chang'an Gate as usual, and the officials all bowed hands to each other when they met, no different from usual.
Zhang Qicheng spoke with a smile.
Recently, the household department has been in a mess, and these generals seem to be very leisurely, and everyone just listens to the war on the frontier and fights for military rations.
When we arrived at the gate, everyone waited to hear the bell ring on the noon gate, so that they could enter the court.
"When will this household department investigate the case?"
"The case of the household department cannot be investigated, and the military rations are not allocated?"
"Let Cui Yiting, who has no hair on his mouth, investigate the case, isn't this ...... Fooling around? ”
Zhang Qicheng stood there silently.
"In the past, when Cui Shangshu was here, not to mention other military rations, they must have been allocated, but now this case is dragged out and not handled well, so the soldiers will drink the northwest wind."
The voice was about a little louder, and someone next to him immediately persuaded, "Don't say that, I heard that the Criminal Department is also investigating day and night, arresting people every day, maybe the case will be closed one day." ”
Zhang Qicheng didn't interject, just listened to the generals.
That's what he wants.
The emperor trusts Cui Yiting, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces are not convinced, don't look at Cui Yiting is now an upstart, as long as there is a business trip, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it.
As long as he waits, waiting for the news from Cui Yiting's side to come, he has already hinted to Zhao Fan that if he can't kill Cui Yiting, he will kill Miss Yao Qi there, a young lady who is powerless, it is very simple to kill her.
Dead, Cui Yiting went out of the city again. There is a drama to sing.
A person who can have a private meeting with the young lady who has not left the cabinet in the middle of the night, and he will spare no effort to try the case.
can muddy the entire court situation, and everyone will feel that Cui Yiting is unreliable.
Zhang Qicheng had prepared for the worst.
Even if Cui Yiting doesn't die. He will also try his best to change the chief judge, and the main criminal department has gone through, and he is afraid that the case will not be in the palm of his hand.
Zhang Qicheng was thinking.
The door slowly opened.
The courtiers gave way to each other, waiting to enter the court according to their rank.
Two chamberlains suddenly walked out of the door, and one of them spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has an order, please come out of the palace to watch the trial." ”
Out of the palace to watch the trial? What to judge?
Zhang Qicheng frowned.
……
The officials went out of the palace gate in a grand manner. Everyone stood firm and was about to speak to each other when there was a sound of footsteps. Two strings of torches flew all the way, lighting up the sky overhead.
The brocade guards lined up on either side with torches in their hands.
The dispatch of the Jinyi Guard is an important matter.
Everyone looked over, and two people walked over slowly.
Seeing the face of the person who came, Zhang Qicheng was prepared. But I still couldn't help but be stunned.
It's Cui Yiting and Jinyi Wei Cao.
It seems that Cui Yiting is not the slightest bit unusual. As if nothing had happened.
Zhao Fan, who was waiting to leak in the room, also walked out, and when he saw Cui Yiting, he couldn't help but change his complexion.
Cui Yiting's appearance, his face was strained, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of cold light, obviously he came to take revenge, and the person he arranged was missed.
The manpower he has cultivated with great difficulty will be buried in Cui Yiting's hands.
If Cui Yiting didn't die, what about Miss Yao Qi?
Zhao Fan just thought of this.
There was a jumble of footsteps. More than a dozen people who tied their hands and feet were dragged over by the brocade guards.
Outside the palace gate, what is Cui Yiting going to do?
Is it possible that Jin Yiwei is preparing to carry out the cane execution here with a court staff in his hand?
Zhao Fan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"These men were instigated to assassinate their own officials. Now you will be a witness, Jin Yiwei will take over the Cao Liang embezzlement case and the assassination case from today. ”
The staff in Jinyiwei's hand came out, and the two black-clothed prisoners were thrown to the ground, their hands rising and falling, and the surroundings were suddenly filled with miserable screams.
Jinyiwei's court staff has long been terrifying, and now seeing it with his own eyes makes people even more frightened.
The two of them first held on to their positions, then struggled hard, and finally fell silent.
People were beaten to death here.
Two were killed, and two more were brought up.
Cycle after cycle, blood stained the ground, in front of him was a scene of flesh and blood, the brocade guards fought easily, but people died more and more slowly, more and more miserable.
No one knows when Cui Yiting will stop.
I don't know who first had a cold war, and then everyone felt cold.
Zhao Fan couldn't help but chatter with his teeth, he knew that these people would not affect him, how many years of training of dead soldiers, long forgotten life and death, even if he wanted to confess, he didn't know that he and his father-in-law would at most tell the Shou family, but seeing these people die tragically in front of him, he couldn't be indifferent.
Looking at Cui Yiting's cold face, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel fear, Scholar Cui was a famous virtuous man, but he gave birth to such a ruthless son.
"I've said it, I've said it." A mournful voice came from the darkness.
Someone was immediately pushed up.
Zhang Qicheng looked over, and the one kneeling on the ground was Lang Zhong of the household department.
Cui Yiting's intentions suddenly made him understand.
Cui Yiting wanted to use the death of those dead soldiers to frighten the officials of the household department who were waiting for trial, this is a real trial, but the person used in the trial was given to Cui Yiting by him.
The assassination of the imperial court official is already a capital crime, no matter how Cui Yiting tosses it, no one will object, and Cui Yiting uses this point.
Cui Yiting lowered his head to arrange his cuffs, and the begonia-colored official uniform was slightly folded, revealing the embroidered spring knife on his waist.
The embroidered spring knife was given by the emperor to the brocade guard.
Cui Yiting is not a brocade guard, but he can wear an embroidered spring knife, which shows the emperor's trust in him.
Zhang Qicheng, like everyone else, looked at Cui Yiting with a little surprise.
Cui Yiting's eyes narrowed slightly, "Lord Ding is not in a hurry, what we have is time to speak slowly." Speaking of this, his tense face suddenly seemed to melt in the spring, and he showed a smile at first warm and cold.
……
A red sun slowly rose from the sky.
Wan Ning watched the rain fall in the house.
Luoyu's injury has been treated by Langzhong, and he has invited his mother-in-law to sew up the cracked wound. Wan Ning watched quietly from the side, she knew how painful it was without anesthetized sutures, and Luo Yu buried her face in the bed and endured it quietly. When Lang Zhong left, Luo Yu raised his sweaty face, "Miss Seven, my son and mother won't come to Beijing." ”
Luoyu's eyes were a little red, and tears fell in the blink of an eye, "When the slave maid followed the young lady to Beijing, Lao Tzu and Niang said it. As if they had sold me to death, they would not pay attention to me wherever I went in the future. ”
"That's because you are old and girly, you didn't please Mrs. Six, you should tell Mrs. Six about everything I do."
Falling Rain nodded. "So I said, I don't have Lao Tzu and Niang anymore, so they don't care about my brother's errands and don't take me to heart."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Luo Yu's face. Looking at Wan Ning. "Miss Seven is good to us, before coming to Beijing, Miss handed me and Luoying aside and asked us if we would like to come to Beijing with us, if not, ask the old lady in the second room to help us find an errand in the Yao family, no one has asked me like this before."
The sideburns of the falling rain were soaked with sweat.
"Don't worry, in the future, your family will come to Jingli to join you," Wan Ning smiled and watched the rainfall, "We will gain a foothold in Jingli and let those who don't believe in it take a look." ”
Wan Ning's voice just fell. Mother Tong brought tea into the house.
"Mom, take a break!"
Wan Ning took the tea.
Tong's mother was sent over by Cui Yiting's manpower, and she didn't come back to life until she saw Wanning. hugged Wanning and cried, and finally regained her love.
"What do you say about the mother-in-law who followed the car?"
Tong's mother shook her head, "I still don't want to tell the truth, I just said that I bought spices behind my family's back, just to be greedy for more money, who knew that it would cause such a big trouble, seeing that the carriage was hijacked, she panicked for fear that there would be no way to go back, so she escaped from Beijing overnight." ”
So far, he has refused to confess the truth.
Wan Ning said: "Don't worry, take your time, she really doesn't want to tell the truth, just let her go!" ”
Tong's mother was stunned, "Why...... Miss ......"
In a few moments, the mother-in-law will come back, because the person who harmed her will not let the mother-in-law survive, if it weren't for the wife of the general of Zhenguo to let the mother-in-law find the mother-in-law first, the mother-in-law might have died a long time ago.
As he was talking, the steward outside called Tong's mother out.
After a while, Kung Fu Tong's mother came in and said, "Master Cui came out of the palace and has something to say to Miss." ”
Let's talk about last night!
Wan Ning nodded.
General Zhenguo's wife likes mulberry trees, and there is almost a mulberry tree in every yard in General Zhenguo's mansion, and Wan Ning was a little surprised when she saw such a tree for the first time.
The homophony of mulberry trees is not good, and large families will not plant mulberries, but I didn't expect General Zhenguo to care, and arranged the yard according to Mrs. Preferences.
Cui Yiting stood under the tree, the few remaining leaves on the tree swaying in the breeze, Cui Yiting strained his face without a smile.
The girl next to her talked about Cui Yiting more than once, and it always made people feel a little scared when they looked at it.
The first time they met, he should have saved her, but unfortunately she was still unconscious at that time, maybe it was human instinct, and she was more or less afraid of the people who saved her, and she was not afraid of Cui Yiting from beginning to end.
Last night's events speak for themselves.
She understood what was going on without having to explain.
Cui Yiting looked at Miss Yao Qi's clear eyes, and suddenly felt that there was no need to say something.
"How's your maid's injury?"
"The bleeding has stopped."
Cui Yiting nodded, "The way you wrap the wound is very strange. ”
It stands to reason that it is a standard method of wrapping wounds, she is a clinical student, and she has learned all these things, but she has not used them for many years, and most of them have been returned to the teacher.
Wan Ning was just about to speak.
Cui Yiting's eyes suddenly looked at her, "Can you help me pack it once." He gestured to his shoulder.
