In the Yazhong of Changlu County, the results of the trial of the case by General Mingwei Zhu Tingfang on this day spread throughout the city through hundreds of mouths.

Among the six families, it is not only the three Qi families who have been decided because of various bad deeds, but also the other two, all of which are lawsuits that force people to die, as for the others, from the rod to the dispatch of the Liaodong Chongjun, a total of seventeen people.

From the master in charge, the young master who is gentle, and then the tent room, the steward, and the army. Anyway, as long as he can get conclusive physical witness evidence within these few days, Zhu Tingfang will be sentenced within one day.

On the surface, the crime of colluding with the eldest prince and causing a radical change in the good people did not occupy a too obvious position in the words of word of mouth or on the notice posted on the eight-character wall of the county government.

However, except for most of the people who applauded and applauded, smart people who can really endure the temperament know that the reason why Zhu Tingfang punished a group of people harshly this time, and did not hesitate to turn over the old accounts that many people don't care about at all, is because these big families stupidly colluded with the big prince who was bent on making money, and caused that shocking case!

has already made a group of mud-legged people occupy the palace, is this worth it? Even if the eldest prince once changed his rhetoric, claiming that Xian Yunhe and others were "righteous people", Changlu County ordered Xu Cheng to be a corrupt official, and the Jiang family and other families were traitors, but when he found out that he was out of trouble, he had already retorted, and besides, he had to be believed!

Of course, although there are a total of five people in Zhu Tingfang's plan to make a decision, this does not mean that he can immediately push these five people to the court to kill a hundred people and deter the people, but he still has to report to the imperial court and wait for the review of the criminal department of Dali Temple, the repetition of Dali Temple, and the emperor's decision. In other words, these five people can live a few more days. The dispatch of the Liaodong Replenishment Army has also not yet been implemented.

but he was condemned to the rod, and none escaped the round rod. Except for Master Jiang, because he had a filial son Jiang Dashao interceded, he was very "lucky" to break half of the forty rods, and the remaining forty were divided among the three sons, and the rest of the people were really beaten as much as they should be, not to mention that they had no filial sons who were willing to be beaten instead, even if there were, everyone was under house arrest at home.

If it were a court trial on weekdays, those who were interested in watching the excitement outside were just idle people in the market, but today there are many people who don't care about doing odd jobs, farming, or even lunch, and they have been watching outside until sunset, and all the cases are concluded one by one. I heard that one by one, the invincible guys in the past were dragged to the platform, and they cried and cried for their father and mother under the torture cane, and many people even forgot about it, and the only feeling was - happy!

Among them, the happiest person is the little peanut. Zhang Shou was originally behind the screen in the public court, and he hid behind Zhang Shou, waiting for Zhang Shou to go out to deal with the affairs of Jiang Dashao and Young Master Qi, and after he came back, Zhu Tingfang set up a chair to listen in the court, and this screen became his exclusive box after that. When he heard the rise, his eyebrows fluttered, and he even had to cover his mouth.

He was afraid that he would laugh out loud because he was too excited.

Because of this, after the case was finally heard in the evening, Little Peanut wanted to find someone to share it with. Although he said that he thought Zhang Shou was a good person, he was an official of the imperial court; Miss Zhu is also a good person, but there is a difference between men and women, and she is too good at teasing; As for a son-in-law like Zhu Er and Zhang Chen, he is not like an uncle, and he has always stayed away.

Therefore, what he thought of was to go to the old salted fish to share the indescribable joy in his heart. However, when he found the backyard from the front yard of the county government, he almost went to the water tank to the roof to take a look, but he was stunned and did not find the shadow of the old salted fish. It was only then that he remembered that he hadn't seen his uncle since early in the morning

Uncle, who has always loved to watch the excitement, can actually hold back and not look at the excitement that countless people in Cangzhou have come to see today?

Little Peanut wondered in his heart, and when he returned to Zhang Shou's small courtyard, he looked up and saw Ah Liu sitting on the wall in a daze, so he hurriedly rushed over and shouted, "Sixth brother, have you seen my uncle?" I didn't find him anywhere! ”

Ah Liu lowered his eyes and stared at the little peanut for a while, and finally burst out three words plainly: "See." ”

Xiao Peanut was already a little depressed, and when he heard these concise words, he instinctively lowered his head: "Oh, so you saw ......" Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised his head again, "No, sixth brother, you didn't see it, but you saw it?" Uncle, where did he go? ”

Ah Liu teased Little Peanut a little, then gently stretched his legs, jumped directly off the wall, and suddenly reached out and patted Little Peanut's head. Although he didn't grow tall, he was still half a head taller than Little Peanut, and seeing that Little Peanut was a little stunned at this time, he said: "He went out with Zhu Ergongzi." ”

Little Peanut suddenly became even more strange. In his opinion, among the three brothers and sisters of the Zhu family, Zhu Tingfang is the most frightening, Zhu Ying is the most self-serving, and Zhu Er is not so conspicuous, either by the eldest brother or by the younger sister. Even the new prince of the Qin State now, he has seen someone turn Zhu Erzhi around.

He thought about it, but he couldn't help but ask, "Only Second Prince Zhu went out with my uncle?" Didn't bring a guard? Will it be dangerous? After all, there were still people in Cangzhou City who even dared to assassinate General Zhu before......"

Ah Liu glanced at Little Peanut with a strange expression, and said bluntly: "The person who fights their idea is dangerous." ”

Don't you know how powerful your salted fish uncle is?

Little Peanut didn't see the ridicule in Ah Liu's eyes, but he thought carefully for a moment, and then sighed and sat down directly on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, holding his chin and babbling about his feelings about watching the trial today. Ah Liu quietly leaned against the curved moon gate in a peculiar posture, until Little Peanut suddenly expressed his concern, and his flat face changed.

"I am very happy that General Zhu punished those greedy guys severely...... But, what about Uncle Yunhe? When I went to the palace before, I took the opportunity to deliver food to Uncle Yunhe, and secretly ran to meet other people. Eight others are also being held in lockdown...... Will they die? Will it be beheaded? ”

Ah Liu really couldn't answer this question, so he thought about it again and again, and finally decided to remain silent. Fortunately, he was sure that Little Peanut soon ran out of time to dwell on this issue. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear a babbling shout: "Hey, I didn't hear that my eldest brother was going to try those cases today when I went out in the morning, why didn't he wait for me to come back!" ”

The eldest prince and the young master took advantage of your absence, so they hurriedly took care of those cases, so that you didn't have to watch the excitement and not work......

Ah Liu thought so in his heart, and his eyes also revealed. When Zhu Er, who was striding over, met his cold eyes most of the time, the person immediately shut up in a sneer. And the old salted fish a few steps behind Zhu Er was carrying a huge back basket, and he was panting as he walked: "Ouch, people are old, they can't walk, and you don't know how to respect the elderly, second son, you don't know how to respect ......the elderly."

Zhu Er's forehead suddenly jumped, and when he turned around, he scolded angrily: "You dead salted fish, who just treated the things in this back basket as a treasure, and couldn't even let me touch it?" And now you're still beating up and saying I won't help you? ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and his fingers were eager to poke the nose of this old and wrinkled salted fish: "What did you say about taking me to see your secret garden, but he blindfolded me halfway to the damn way, saying that since it is a secret garden, he can't let me remember the way, and almost caused me to fall a few times!" Isn't it just a big vegetable garden? How rare! Just your ignorant old salted fish as a baby! ”

Although he was sprayed wildly by Zhu Er, the old salted fish was still calm and relaxed, without the slightest embarrassment - not to mention guilt. Especially when he saw Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying coming out of the inner room one after another, Zhang Shou was elegant, Zhu Ying was delicate, how to look at it, he couldn't help but whistle like a disciple in the market.

It wasn't until he saw Ah Liu glaring at him with an unkind face that he quickly nodded and said, "Hey, when I saw Dr. Zhang and the eldest lady, I couldn't help but think of the moment when I was young and romantic. ”

He also pulled down his face, and directly slapped his mouth, and then untied the back basket on his body with a smile on his face: "I was joking with the second son just now, it's not that I didn't let him help me carry it, it's that this back basket is too heavy, he is such a pampered son, he has walked so many miles with me today, it is estimated that the shoes are about to wear out, where can I carry this!" ”

Zhu Er was so angry that his brows stood up, he strode forward, and grabbed the back basket to show his strength, but with this hand, his face changed. After carrying it for a while, the back basket did not move at all, and he carried it a second time, and the back basket moved slightly, but it still could not be lifted, until he exerted great strength, and finally lifted it off the ground.

But no matter how hard he tried, he felt like his waist was going to break! At this moment, he didn't dare to be reckless anymore, and let go of his hand and glared at the old salted fish with a black face: "Are you hiding gold or pressing something here?" How can it be so heavy? ”

The old salted fish smiled casually: "It's just some Qin bricks and Han tiles and other things that press the bottom of the box." But I've been following me for a long time, and if I really go to the capital, I really don't feel at ease if I don't take it with me. As for my vegetable garden, when I really want to leave, I have to go and pick up it! ”

As he spoke, he opened the blue cloth covering his basket, and first took out two large burdens, and then took out a piece of masonry underneath. Zhang Shou didn't have much research on these objects, Zhu Ying leaned up to take a look, and after taking this piece, she immediately smacked her tongue and hugged Zhang Shou directly with both hands.

"Ah Shou, no wonder the second brother can't take it, this weight is really heavy!"

Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, but he was also taken aback when he tried the amount, just such a piece, it weighed ten catties!

However, when he looked closely, he found that this was not a Qin brick and a Han tile at all, but more like a broken stele, and some handwriting was faintly visible on it. However, when he squinted his eyes and tried to make out the handwriting, he froze.

This seems to be ...... English? No, it's clearly a combination of pinyin and strange Chinese English! As for asking him why he knows...... No matter who it is, when you see the structure of Shen Cang Blue, you don't understand that there is a ghost!

However, this small piece of stele was so broken that all but this one word was fragmentary, and he could not see any clue at all. Therefore, he just rubbed the handwriting and studied it for a while, and then looked at the old salted fish.

"This isn't Qin Brick Han Tile, right? I have seen these words in the manuscripts of Taizu given to me by the emperor. ”

"Huh, really? I just look at it as if it is a book from heaven, and this will be collected from those who steal and sell steles! The old salted fish's eyes widened, and he had a look of surprise and surprise on his face. Immediately after, he smiled innocently, "Dr. Zhang, you are knowledgeable, if you think it is useful, then I will pass it on to you, right?" ”

"Oh?" Although he knew that this old man was the character of beating snakes with sticks, Zhang Shou still didn't expect that people would stuff things directly so happily.

Although he hadn't studied any stone tablets, he had just vaguely seen from the degree of weathering of this fragment that it had been very old, and the letters were very distinctively engraved. At least, if it were him, he would never be able to write such a beautiful English flower. His hand in English has not been decent at all since he left school, and he has a printer anyway......

After a moment of silence, Zhang Shou smiled and said, "Then I will be disrespectful." If anything, I'll tell you how it progresses. ”

"Then I'll just wait for your good news Dr. Zhang, this is the rest, I received a lot!"

The old salted fish said as he took out the remaining fragments of the stele from the basket. And Zhu Er watched him take one piece after another, one piece after another...... I couldn't help but be angry for a while. No wonder he couldn't lift it just now, how many heavy things did this damn salted fish hide in his back basket? And the secret garden...... That's a secret quarry, right?

Although Zhang Shou's eyelids jumped when he saw it, but in the end, when he saw more than a dozen steles, large and small, he still picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully—at least he was full of the image of a Taizu manuscript researcher. Then, he asked Ah Liu to put the fragments of the stele stone back into the basket one by one, and then sent them into the house. Little Peanut also volunteered to help.

Seeing that Ah Liu easily and effortlessly carried the more than 100 catties of things into the house, Zhu Er couldn't help but turn his head sideways to look at the old salted fish, thinking that at such a long distance, the old man was carrying such a heavy thing and only sweating on his forehead, what a strange force this is!

If you really let people fight with Ah Liu, will it be a result of a dead end?

However, Zhu Ying noticed that the two burdens that the old salted fish had taken out before were naturally carried on his back, as if those were more important than the so-called Taizu stele. She had long been very wary of people, and at this time she simply went over, as if curious, raised her hand and poked the furoshi. Seeing that the old salted fish did not dodge, she smiled and spoke.

"Compared with those steles that you won't understand for a while, how about you take out the things in your baggage, old salted fish, and show them to everyone? Is there anything else to eat? ”
