CHAPTER XXXII
Liu Yi handed the words to Chi County Ling, and Chi County's face suddenly darkened, just like a dark cloud suddenly appeared on a sunny day hanging high.
Because the rhyme of the word is completely different, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two pairs of words are not produced by one person, and there must be unspeakable catty in them.
But I don't want this Chi County to put dead ducks on the shelves and have such a hard mouth.
The Chi County Order still insisted on quibbling: "Maybe this Xu Huanqing did it deliberately, the words on the deed of sale are very sloppy, maybe it is written with another hand, there are many people in this world who can write with both hands, and the handwriting of the two hands is mostly different." ”
Chi County's tough defense made the crowd outside the yamen sigh, and they all only said that Chi County's order received Zheng Dewang's money, so they were blind, and now they are still talking nonsense.
Liu Yi knew that this flaw could not make Chi County Ling completely dead, so he said: "Master Xu said that Master Zheng has come to Miaoyin Pavilion to make trouble, and there will definitely be witnesses, and I can't help but look for the eyewitnesses and see what the eyewitnesses say." ”
As soon as the words fell, a man came in outside the yamen, saluted the two people in the hall, and said: "The villain changed books in the bookstore near Miaoyin Pavilion that day, and only heard Master Zheng inside say that Xu Yuanxuan kicked and injured him, and asked Xu Ban Master to pay two hundred taels of money to recuperate. Afterwards, I heard someone at the door that it was Master Zheng who pulled Xu Yuanyuan into the alley and wanted to force Xu Yuanyuan, so he was kicked by Xu Yuanyuan. ”
That person was sent by Liu Yi Zhuang Shanfang to find him, he knew that Chi Xian Ling and Zheng Dewang would not give up easily, so he asked Zhuang Shanfang to inquire about the matter in the city, if there is really a grievance, he must find a personal witness, and if there is a personal witness, there is at least some hope to turn the scene around.
The man had a holiday with Zheng Dewang, and the good land handed down by the man's ancestors was bought by Zheng Dewang at a low price, and the man had no skills, so he could only do some hard work now, and he was worried about his livelihood.
Now I know that I have the opportunity to take revenge on Zheng Dewang, and no one in the family is afraid of being implicated, if Zheng Dewang really wants to take revenge on him, it is good that he will die, at least he can suffer less in this world. So the man wanted Zheng Dewang to get some retribution no matter what.
After Zheng Dewang heard what the man said, he glared at the man directly, he was a little trembling with anger, and his slightly trembling hand pointed at the man and said, "You! You! You're just talking nonsense! It must be someone else's money that makes such nonsense. ”
Zheng Dewang was so angry that he couldn't even speak, and the people outside the yamen rarely saw Zheng Dewang so deflated, so they pointed at Zheng Dewang outside and laughed, muttering that Zheng Dewang still has today.
An old woman walked outside the hall, her hair was as white as frost, her body was trembling, she could only walk in with a cane in her hand, her clothes were very plain, and her body exuded an elegant fragrance, which was the smell of spices used by the elderly.
She walked to the two of them, and Liu Yi saw that the old woman's actions were quite inconvenient, so she picked up the old woman. I only heard the old woman say slowly: "The old man has seen the commander and the county commander. Shicai stood outside the yamen and listened, only to feel that Master Zheng and the county magistrate were reversing black and white. Early that morning, the old man went out to buy vegetables, passed by the alley, and saw that Master Zheng forcibly dragged a woman into an uninhabited alley, so he wanted to commit violence, and then the woman's resistance kicked Master Zheng's knee before escaping. But I didn't want Master Zheng to go to make a big fuss in Miaoyin Pavilion later, the lion opened his mouth and asked for two hundred taels of silver, which was fine. But when I arrived at the Yamen, I made up these words, which really made people feel a little aggrieved. The old body was really angry, so he came up and wanted to evaluate them for the Xu class master. The old body is already over eighty years old, and there are not many years left to live, so there is no need for the old body to tell lies against his will. ”
This old woman was not invited by Liu Yi, she originally came to see the excitement, and when she saw someone standing up and saying the truth, she felt that she needed to stand up and uphold justice. After all, there are gods in the first three feet, and they have reached the age of old age, so they can do some good deeds, accumulate blessings for themselves, and live in a better family in the next life, and live a happy life.
Before Chi County Ling and Zheng Dewang could react, several voices in the crowd appeared, saying that Xu Yuanyuan was wronged, and the situation was getting worse and worse, beyond the scope of Chi County Ling's control.
Chi Xian Ling knew that today's defeat was a foregone conclusion, so he thought of a way to exonerate Zheng Dewang, after all, he had received a lot of Zheng Dewang's silver over the years, and it was not the first time that they had been embarrassed.
Chi Xian Ling froze there for a long time, and then he smirked: "There must be someone who provoked and misunderstood Master Zheng, and now that the misunderstanding has been solved, then it will be fine." Let's disperse now. ”
Liu Yi knew that the Nachi County Order was going to protect Zheng Dewang, and his identity as Jin Wuwei was not easy to ignore, so be it, and when he returned to the palace, he was cleaning up the two of them.
Everything was over, and Liu Yi was about to go out, only to see a blue sedan chair covered with silk parked outside, and a dragon head made of gold on the top of the sedan chair. He also didn't know who else in Yanjing City had such a big identity besides him, and he dared to install a dragon head on the top of his palanquin, which was a crime of trespassing, and the crime should be punished. Liu Yi looked carefully at Zheng Dewang, who was rushing to the sedan chair, and the pattern on the hairpin on his head was nothing else, it was a dragon pattern.
The next day, a holy decree came out of the palace.
The content is like this: Chi County ordered favoritism to bend the law, aided and abused the people, cut off official positions, expelled from Yanjing, and three generations of descendants were not allowed to enter the court as officials. Zheng Dewang gathered wealth and amassed posture, forcibly married the people's daughter, for the disaster party, the costume was good at using dragon patterns, the sedan chair was decorated with a golden dragon, offended the saint, the crime should be punished, and the end of the month was beheaded, if the family property was forcibly occupied, the original owner was returned, and the rest was confiscated.
The bulletin board in Yanjing City was full of people who came to see the new announcement, cheering and cheering, and the news was like a dandelion in the wind. It shouldn't have been a quarter of an hour, the people of the entire Yanjing City knew about it, and they all took to the streets to celebrate, and in an instant, thousands of people were empty, this was the first time such a grand celebration since Liu Yi ascended the throne, Liu Yi only felt that he had done the right thing.
And there are so many unjust cases in the world, who can be as lucky as Xu Yuanyuan and can be protected by those in power.
On that day, the news that Zheng Dewang was deflated in Yamen spread far and wide, and it spread throughout Yanjing City, and Chen Zhiheng at the Laifu Inn soon knew about it.
Chen Zhiheng immediately left the room and rode to the Xu family's compound.
When Chen Zhiheng arrived at the Xu family's compound, the door of the compound was not closed as when he came last time, but was open to the outside. The courtyard was not as empty as it was last time, but full of people. In addition to those disciples of the Xu family class, there were also some neighbors in the vicinity, who all came to celebrate the release of Xu Huanqing and Xu Yuanyuan from prison.
Because Xu Huanqing's legs and feet were injured, he sat on the chair before he could find a good idea, and now the group of people are surrounding Xu Huanqing.
Chen Zhiheng stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not, because those people were all familiar with each other, and he was just a stranger in front of them.
Xu Yuan, who was on the side, saw Chen Zhiheng standing at the door, so he left the crowd and walked towards Chen Zhiheng.
She looked at Chen Zhiheng, a little shy, and didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, she slowly said, "Thank you for that matter." ”
Chen Zhiheng took Xu Yuan's hand and smiled gently: "You are my sweetheart, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it, just to keep you safe, although I didn't rescue you by myself in the end, but I must also protect your health." ”
Chen Zhiheng's eyes were full of tenderness, like the water of a deep pool.
At the moment when Xu Yuan looked at Chen Zhiheng, their eyes met. Staring for a moment, Xu Xuan seemed as if she was about to sink into a deep pool, and the water of the deep pool was about to touch the top of her head, and she was about to sink, sinking deeper and deeper.
At the moment when Xu Yuanxuan felt that he was about to run out of breath, he quickly turned his face away, no longer looked at Chen Zhiheng, afraid of falling into a relationship, and in the end, like an infatuated woman in the play, he couldn't end up well. But the blush on her cheeks betrayed herself. The red floated on her thin skin like the petals of a peach blossom falling into a deep pool.
Chen Zhiheng saw that she was a little shy, so he didn't continue to stare at her, but said: "If you think I am kind to you, then now the opportunity to repay the favor has come, not much, just promise me one thing." ”
When Xu Yuanyuan heard Chen Zhiheng say the word "repay the favor", he was startled, then looked up at him and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu curled his bright eyes, with affection between his eyebrows, like the wind in April, setting off layers of ripples in Chen Zhiheng's deep pool, and his heart was also floating and rotating in those ripples.
Chen Zhiheng looked at Xu Yuan, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It's not difficult, it's just that I will go to Siming Mountain outside the city with me in the spring of next year, I heard that there is a temple on it, which is very effective, and I have one thing to ask for Buddha." But it's winter now, I'm afraid that the mountain road will be a little difficult to walk, and I have something to leave Yanjing, I'm afraid that it will be next year to come back, so let's go together next spring. ”
That smile was so warm, like the warm sun in spring, shining into the darkness. And that piece of light also shone into the dark place in Xu Yuan's heart, and probed into the deep unknown realm little by little.
Xu Yuan responded.
In Xu Yuanyuan's opinion, it's just to go to the temple together to burn incense and worship a Buddha, and there will be nothing wrong.
At night, the stars dimmed and the courtyard was dimly lit. The snow fell down again, melted into the water, fell into the dust, and accumulated on the slender leaves of the bamboo hanging down in the yard, and accumulated on the gray-black tiles.
The snow presses the green bamboo white like jade, and the jade dust is full of winter before the courtyard is known.
The dots on the bamboo pole are like the tears of an idiot in this world, crying about the man's ruthlessness, crying about the life of the red face, crying that the god does not appreciate it, and wants to beat the mandarin duck. There are too many discrepancies in the world, and there are too many troubles, just like a rope full of jade beads, which falls to the ground with a light pull, and there is no way to pick it up.
It's just that they don't know that there is a lover in the world, and this hatred is not about the mountains and the moon. Those infatuations are just cocooning themselves, wrapping themselves tighter and tighter until they suffocate.
