Chapter 118: The Things That Wait

Su Wen casually wrapped a coat and stood in front of the window of the porch looking at the sky. The clear sky is fine, and the dust floats in the transparent sunlight, which is fleeting. There was only a lonely and faint cloud in the sky, and the spring sun made people drowsy. The fragrance of bamboo leaves wafted in the yard, and another light rain in the early morning seemed to dilute the blood and chaos in the air, and the world was fresh and clean again, which also brought some hope and fear of life.

Su Wen put his hands behind his head, leaned against the wall, and sighed lazily: I can finally rest for a day! But I am worried that it will be a boring day.

Mother Su and Ye Huanpiao are like two scientists who have just met and have a common idea, and the exchange in a moment collides with sparks of thought. After breakfast, I said hello to Su Wen and went to Xiqu Wangfu to sit and talk.

Su Wen, who pushed away everything and was going to take her shopping, hung it in the county mansion.

Zhao Shu took office as a new official, although she had a lot of ideas, she didn't know where to start. Just take the two guards to look for the members of the art team first...

Those two eldest ladies probably haven't gotten up yet.... I didn't see anyone for breakfast....

There is always a feeling of panic, as if he is looking forward to the arrival of someone? Su Wen looked up at the sky from time to time, not knowing where the feeling came from. Seeing Ling Yan walking through the courtyard, he called out to her, arranged some affairs of their clan, and asked her to go to Chen Ci -- Wu Zhiliang and Xuanyuan Yu were now in his hands, and the case might be able to be tried.

In the east of Xiqu City, a flying car soars in the sky freely, overlooking the earth from the air, the river meanders like a belt, the grassland is like a blanket, the felt bag is like a buckle, and the cattle and sheep are like clouds. On the fertile grassland, herdsmen choose water to live and fly indulging, just like in the middle of a painting. Sometimes thunderstorms, sometimes glowing, even though the road is long and tortuous, it still can't stop the free heart that desperately wants to fly to the grassland......

The rider respectfully told her that it would be there soon. She went to tidy up her new clothes again for an unknown number of times, and her face was flushed with the sun. For the sake of this new set of clothes and a good mental state, she even stayed for one night.....

Chen Ci was notified, and soon led a group of people to the county government. Su Wen saw that he had two huge dark circles under his eyes, and his haggard look was quite unbearable. "Master Chen, you won't just go on to try the case after the battle, right?"

Mentioning the case Chen Ci's spirits were vibrant, he stood up and clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Lord Hui, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" This battle was provoked by this case, and he didn't dare to slack off. Fortunately, none of the criminals escaped, and all of them were captured alive.

Su Wen looked at a beautiful woman kneeling in the hall, and knew that this was a prisoner. "You haven't been tortured yet, have you?"

"Lord Hui, I was waiting for a few adults to interrogate, and I haven't been tortured yet. ”

"Oh... That woman, stand up and I'll take a look. ”

A sigh sounded in the back hall, and this case triggered a bloody battle, which is now known to everyone in the Xiqushan Kingdom. When I heard that the case was being heard, the subordinates of the county government and all the officials who could get in gathered around. The back hall of the county government has long been black and oppressive. Hearing Su Wen come up with such a sentence, everyone was stunned.

The reputation of the county lord's private life is not good, and it has long caused heated discussions in the streets and alleys. For example, the county lord snatched a beautiful young woman with a child in the first battle, and now she is placed in the mansion. treated an injury and abducted the other party's female medical officer. Soon after he came back, he was stopped by a beautiful girl on the street, shouting and shouting that he was responsible. Weifu made a private visit to investigate the case, and brought a woman back to the house. plus the beautiful fairy master who was originally in the mansion.

Carefully calculated, charming mature young women, doctor uniform temptation, young and beautiful girls, merry heroines, holy immortals..... It's amazing. The woman scolded him for being shameless, but he had nothing to do, and he was dressed up and swaying at the gate of the county government. Feast the eyes of the guards. The man even scolded the county lord for being obscene, but there were often people who went to collude with the cooks and asked what ingredients the adults used to make supplements. In just a few days, the cooks' recipes were sold at sky-high prices.

When the prisoner woman stood up, Su Wen sighed secretly: What a pretty little widow! Su Wen saw that the prisoner woman had dignified eyebrows and a good figure, but she was not charming, but she had a different style of a woman from a good family. sighed again: Sure enough, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing!

Although I feel sorry for this woman, the case is to be tried. Su Wenxue's TV learned, a slap on the table, "first hit eighty boards!" "The board is from the Han system, and the specifications of the "flogging" are: the flog is bamboo, five feet long (one foot in the Han Dynasty is about 22 centimeters, and five feet is about 1.1 meters), the big head is one inch, the small head is half an inch, and the bamboo joints must be flattened. The person sentenced to flogging was to be flogged with the buttocks, i.e. spanked. When flogging, one person must complete the whole sentence, and no substitution is allowed in the middle of the sentence. The victim must remove his clothes and trousers, and must not have half an inch of cloth on his thighs.

This has caused an uproar inside and outside the hall... Is this time to take off your pants? Good idlers have already begun to compete for seats.

Chen Ci was also scared and sweated, he beat you without asking anything, it didn't follow the procedure. hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "My lord, I can't beat it!"

Su Wen was stunned, it seems that he was deceived by the TV, the program is wrong, and he whispered, "I won't, you judge, I'll just listen." ”

The noise of the crowd behind the hall became louder, Su Wen was in the main seat, just enough to hear it, and as he discussed, his face gradually darkened.

Don't you know, our adults have come to Xiqu Mountain Country since they called, and there is not a day when we don't fight, you know the flower language grassland, right? It is said that the demon beasts were wiped out and the grassland was killed

Later, by the way, he killed tens of thousands of people, you don't know, he made the captives kneel on the ground, and cut off their heads one by one, so that our boys were exhausted, and the knives were also cut off. I had no choice but to bring back thousands of widows and children. Listen to the people of the Iron Castle..... and spread it in eighty miles..... It sounded like the person who was talking was also a little scared, and his voice became quieter and quieter.

The case went surprisingly smoothly.

It's not complicated, but it's ridiculous. On that day, the general went to the Wu family with his family, and Wu Zhiliang fell in love with the young woman of the Liang family, and he couldn't get close to him in every possible way. Later, it was Xuanyuan Yu who went down, and the young woman coveted his beauty and was taken by him first. used money to open the way, and was finally succeeded by Wu Zhiliang. At the same time, the man from the red paper hall also met her on the street, and he also became a guest of the scene.

Wu Zhiliang knew the taste of the marrow, so he arranged for someone to do the black. Pretend to be suicidal, and then arrange for someone to do it up and down. The little widow didn't know it, but when she saw things and thought about people, she gave the knife to the man in the red paper hall. happened to be bumped into by Su Wen and Chen Ci, so he brought out the inside story.

The facts of the case are simple, and the culprit of the case is only Wu Zhiliang. In addition to this case, he was also involved in organizing a rebellion. Since he was defeated and captured, he also knew that he was already an outcast, so he simply admitted all the things very shamefully.

The only turmoil came from Xuanyuan Yu, but I didn't expect this beautiful young man with clear eyebrows to be a tough guy, and he forced Wu Zhiliang's affairs to himself, and the person concerned, Wu Zhiliang, was not a gentleman, and he didn't implicate the innocent in his honesty.

Su Wen secretly pulled Chen Ci, and Chen Ci understood. Let the offender sign and draw the detention, and the offender will be taken into custody and sentenced again in the coming day.

When everyone dispersed, Su Wen invited Chen Ci into the back hall to watch tea......

Chen Ci let out a long sigh of relief, only then did he realize that he was physically and mentally exhausted. Only two days have passed since the street fighting in Eighty Miles, but it seems like a world away. In order to squeeze those bloody scenes that surfaced from time to time out of his mind, he could only work hard to numb himself.

"Wouldn't it be nice to redress the grievances of the people?" No matter how dark the times are, no matter how dark people are, they will have a good impression of officials who are not afraid of power and uphold justice with integrity. Perhaps it is a hope for fairness. Su Wen was no exception, he didn't want to see what happened afterwards affect Chen Ci's state of mind.

"Lord Xie, if it weren't for the adult, Wu Zhiliang would only get away with it. Chen Ci told the truth.

was complimented, but Su Wen was not happy: "The matter of eighty miles is not a Wu Zhiliang"

Then he analyzed the current situation with Chen Ci in detail. Before the trade route was opened, Chen Guo and Hou Yan's hands had already reached in, and they might not even be the handiwork of the government and opposition of the two countries. The transcendent Immortal Master Alliance, the Qian Zhuang of the two empires, the salt gang that has a gap with the imperial court, the chamber of commerce that is the backer of the county, if you count the parties in the government and the opposition, the bigwigs of the military department, the salt and iron horse government, the Shaofu that manages the imperial property and the imperial merchants, and the vassal states. Each one is a behemoth, and each one wants to lie on his stomach in the Xiqu Mountain Country to suck blood.

What has been exposed behind Wu Zhiliang is Ma Zheng, Chen Guo and some forces of the Southern Army, but they are hidden under the water, but they cannot be seen. What's more, there is also a mysterious Immortal Master Alliance. If you cut off his head at once, you will offend a lot of people, not to mention, the terrible thing is that you will not find out who the enemy is.

In the whirlpool of the times, Chen Ci felt a sense of urgency through recent events, limited by the limitations of his vision, and did not know where the sense of oppression came from. After listening to Su Wen's analysis, I knew what kind of annoying living space the Xiqu Mountain Country was in. There is not even the right to choose war or peace.

Chen Ci was silent, the case had been tried, and he was also responsible for the verdict and imprisonment, so of course he knew how to sentence. Whether he can kill Wu Zhiliang or not, he actually has to be interfered with by things other than the law, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.....

"Master Su, the lower officials think that the sentence should still be sentenced, but Wu Zhiliang can not die for the time being, and let Wu Zhiliang apply for a beggar within three months. This point is already Chen Ci's bottom line, and it is also the most reasonable method he can think of. If it weren't for admiring Su Wen's courage and concern for the warriors, he wouldn't even want to give in to this.

Su Wen was silent for a while, killed Wu Zhiliang, and completely broke with Ma Zheng and the Southern Army system. If you don't kill, although it will not ease relations, there is a possibility of a truce, and the public opinion of the people is a major event at the moment. Chen Ci is really a talent, and he will be sentenced now, so that the people will return to their hearts first. Begging is an appeal, sentence but not kill, and drag it out if it can. Slowly fight the lawsuit and give the other party a thought....

"Just do as Master Chen wants. ”

Since it was his own idea, Chen Ci felt a little better. Also know that this is already the best outcome. In his current position as a political enemy, he couldn't force more. The law has a requirement that the beggar be filed within three months of the verdict, but it does not stipulate when the judge will conclude the case. Therefore, there are those who do not review immediately, and often delay indefinitely, so that the guilty are left alone for a long time, and the innocent are left undecided for a long time. These are not things he can worry about, so he can only sigh secretly. Then I remembered another incident:

"My lord, the matter of Eighty Miles can be described as a thief, or it can be regarded as a rebellion. Even if we are thieves, we can judge for ourselves according to the law. If the plot is rebellious, it must be reported to the court for trial. ”

Seeing Chen Ci's solemn expression, it could be seen how depressed he was, Su Wen didn't want to be separated from him, and secondly, he had a small sense of justice in his heart. Patted the case: It doesn't matter what you report, I only know that he Wu Zhiliang deserves to die!"

After speaking, his eyes stared at Chen Ci without blinking. This sentence can be big or small, it is okay to say that you are a joke, it is okay to say that you are perverting the law, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a rebel if you do not obey the law. Therefore, when walking in officialdom, you need to be cautious and walk on thin ice. One wrong step is a recipe for disaster.

Hearing this, Chen Ci's eyes lit up, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

He knew that the adult's words were quite profound, tentative, or co-opting. The choice at this time is not only to gamble on the future, but also to gamble on one's life. This adult has always acted recklessly, is it just a disguise? Or is it a high-ranking person's guidance? A pretty woman suddenly appeared in his mind -- he had talked to Zhao Shu on the day he welcomed the recruits, but he was afraid that she was the one who lifted the weight lightly. Maybe the adult is not fighting alone, maybe this adult can really bring fairness and justice, or maybe he can stop the decline of the Xiqu Mountain Kingdom.

Thinking of this section, Chen Ci no longer hesitated, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs." Lord Xie redressed the grievances of the people. "Chen Ci is not a pedantic person, and several ups and downs in officialdom have made him understand a lot of things. In this case, it is better to learn from the young adult in front of you: from the heart..... At least it can give you peace of mind!

Su Wen was so excited that he almost left tears, he had been in office for so long and had done a lot of things, and finally someone had returned to his heart. Raise a glass of tea instead of wine, and the two of them drank it all. It's all in plain sight...

After a while, Su Wen, who had calmed down, mentioned another matter that would have a great impact: "The men of the Red Paper Hall and Xuanyuan Yu, check their harm to women again." Find Zhao Shu to do propaganda, first make their reputation stink, and then kill the civilians to be angry! It doesn't matter how many wrong people are killed, the key is to take this opportunity to correct the trend. ”

The words were high-sounding, but Su Wen couldn't help but be shocked by his shamelessness.

But everything you do right now, whether it's good or evil, is related to whether you can get more demon pills to maintain on the earth. Their cause is not just, nor is it glorious, but it can bring money, a lot of money. For this, he did not hesitate to kill a few people.

Su Wen let out a long sigh, feeling that he was about to mature, and finally realized how gorgeous a person's flower of desire was.

With tired footsteps and a heavy heart, Su Wen walked back to the small courtyard.

Someone in the courtyard was waiting for him, and the man was dressed in red, beautiful and lovely, and stood elegantly.

Or she's the cutest, so cute.

For a moment, Su Wen remembered the beauty of the starry sky in Suxian City, the large and magnificent grassland of Xingxingxia, and the fragrance of the guqin in the Jixia School Palace.

In an instant, I felt a butterfly flying in the air and couldn't help but pick her up, swirling in the air, a light veil floated up, wrapping the two hearts together.

Su Mei's flushed cheeks were as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.

When he looked at Su Wen, his eyes turned into star eyes. Su Wen couldn't tell whether it was tears or joy, but he knew that it was beautiful. Su Wen burst into tears in an instant, it turned out that happiness was even in the alien planet, and some people were concerned.

Happiness is around, but I don't care Maybe I miss it, Su Wen doesn't want to lose it anymore, as long as the two of them are together, even if they don't do anything That's good.

On this day, Su Wen didn't do anything, and took Su Mei to the streets for a day. After taking her to dinner, I went to the city gate to see the dock, and suddenly found that the two of them didn't buy anything....

"I always thought someone was coming, but I didn't expect it to be you. "The cold moon is silent, and the sky is far away and desert. Su Wen lowered his head and greedily breathed in the cold wind blowing from afar, mixed with dust and haze and a faint fragrance of flowers.

"Sister Jiang said that there is a letter to you, I just wanted to come and see you, so I came. Her whispers were like a warm current sliding through her ears and nourishing her heart on such a cold night, which moved Su Wen a little.

"If you come, don't leave!" Su Wen looked at her, like looking at a sea of water, a wisp of clear spring, and a meadow...... Peaceful and warm.

couldn't help it, couldn't help but reach out and take her into his arms, Su Wen felt the restlessness of the blood running through his body, and his throat seemed dry...

"Stay here?" she asked, sensing something, and asked in a low voice, a shy red creeping up her face again. The apricot eyes squinted, the autumn waves flowed, and they almost wanted to drip water. Looking around, there was no sign of Khotan on the city wall at night, the wind blew the grass and trees on the roadside with a loud sound, and the inky sky was starless, only a waning moon glowing bleakly white.

"If you want. Su Wen was flustered like a middle school student in his first love, trying to guess the girl's mind that he would never have guessed.

"I want to do it too," she said, pressing her face to his chest, listening to the sound of her strong, rapid heartbeat, the sound of blood rushing in her heart, and smiled with satisfaction, blooming on her face like a hibiscus flower.

Su Wen didn't know why he frowned... The moon was still cold, her delicate beauty was like a crimson hidden in the calyx that wanted to bloom, Su Wen lowered her head and reveled in the elegant and quiet fragrance coming from her hair.

"You're angry?... I... I... I'm sorry. Seeing that he was silent, Su Mei cautiously raised her head and looked into his eyes, "Really, I'm just.... So.... Come and see you, don't be angry...."

How could he be angry .... I'm just thinking, what's her trouble, how can I get her to say it....

A fast-paced voice came faintly, and it was very soft, like a feather brushing in his ear. They frowned and straightened up to understand. Like a wisp of smoke rising from a newly-lit fire, the sound grew louder and louder, and more voices joined in, and at last there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the city gates.

Su Wen's heart sank, and he looked out of the city wall, and vaguely saw the cavalry galloping along the river in the night...... Something happened again?
