Chapter 58: The Hot Brazier
"What do you say, be careful that others will hear it, and it will destroy the door."
Zhou Kangren grabbed Shi Zhongtai's arm tightly, looked around with a panicked expression, and said angrily in a low voice, "This is the holy decree, you bastard!" It's just a matter of playing around, but you're still crazy at this time, do you really want to die? ”
Shaking off Zhou Kangren's hand, Shi Zhongtai handed him the letter in his hand, "Take a look for yourself." ”
"Crazy you're going to do it!" Saying that, Zhou Kangren took the letterhead, only to see that it read, "The case is unknown on the day of the trial, and the name of the case is clear, and he will return to his hometown." ”
"Zhongtai"
Pinching the root of the nose wing, Shi Zhongtai said indifferently, "Don't be nervous, it's not that step yet." Even if it gets to that point, didn't the emperor still save my life? ”
Zhou Kangren couldn't bear it, and weakly called a sentence, "Zhongtai"
"That's it."
patted him on the shoulder, Shi Zhongtai comforted, "You said that the case has almost been investigated, what are you still so nervous about?" ”
"But..."
"Okay, okay" interrupted Zhou Kangren's words, Shi Zhongtai pushed him while persuading, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will be abundance when there is a road..., no, no, my mouth is gone off the rails when I say it." ”
"It's not early, let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious, and you'll be in a better mood after eating something delicious, and you'll go."
Lou's stall.
"Boss lady, three..." When the words came to his mouth, Mao Si remembered that Shi Zhongtai didn't like last night's porridge, and turned his head and asked, "Childe, what porridge do you want to eat?" ”
"I'm having a treat today, what do you want to eat?"
Along the way, Zhou Kangren was worried about the emperor's will, and even when he sat down at the small table in the stall, Shi Zhongtai pulled his sleeves.
"Smack!"
"It's okay for you, what's the matter, it's okay, why are you so careful!"
A slap on his back, perhaps the pain woke Zhou Kangren up, making him grin and look at Shi Zhongtai.
"Ask you what you eat, if you don't say, I'll pick a cheaper one."
Zhou Kangren looked at him angrily, closed his mouth tightly and kept silent.
"Hehe, I know that Zhou Gongzi understands my situation, Mao Si, Zhou Gongzi and I are both sweet potato and red date porridge, plus an egg cake cake."
"Okay" Mao Si nodded with a smile, and said loudly to Yuan Yixue in the stall, "Boss, three sweet potatoes, red dates and egg cakes." ”
After a little silence, Zhou Kangren said in a low voice, "Zhongtai, I think what Master Li means, it seems that this case is not as simple as imagined. ”
"The case is about the prince of the dynasty, and the plaintiff and the defendant are all officials of the imperial court, no matter who says that this case will not be so simple." Shi Zhongtai sneered, "And Master Li, heh, you can push the hot brazier as far as you can, and whoever gets in the urinal will be angry, let alone touch it." ”
"Childe, can we also push that brazier to someone else?"
The cat on the side interjected, Shi Zhongtai is a big treasure he presses, if you want to win a pot full of cans, you can't wait.
"If he wanted to push, he wouldn't have come to this Jingzhao Mansion in the first place." Zhou Kangren glanced at the absent-minded Shi Zhongtai, and then explained to Mao Si, "Your son-in-law, no one dared to say that he was the first in the paper, but this guy was unlucky, he was sick before the palace exam, and he became a Tanhualang." ”
"You said that if he did a good job in the library pavilion, it would be fine, and I don't know which string is wrong with this guy, and he openly got into a fight with the emperor, hey, a madman who got rid of it, he was beaten to Jingzhao Mansion as soon as he came out of the prison, and he was stuffed with a hot case for no reason."
"I don't know if this kid is a blessing or a curse. Now it's another imperial order, hey, there's really a lot of trouble, a headache! ”
"It turns out that my son-in-law is actually the best talent!" Mao Si's eyes widened, and he said with surprise on his face, "Childe, you are really, really with, just like Kong Ming in the mouth of the storyteller, you are so capable, Mao Si simply admires you to death." ”
"Hahaha..."
It's not just the star chasing of Mao Si, but Zhou Kangren who was stunned with his mouth open, Shi Zhongtai couldn't help it anymore when he saw him like this.
"Others say that if there is a father, there must be a son, but now I understand what this person is your slave, it turns out that you two are all the way!"
"Haha, haha, Kang, Kangren, don't be like this, I, I can't stand it."
"Oh mom, really, it's really laughing, haha..."
After a mockery, the atmosphere on the small table took on a sweet and salty taste, and the three of them ate sullenly, and Shi Zhongtai ordered Mao Si to leave and go home with Zhou Kangren.
Tonight's night is a little dark, the moon on the horizon is covered by layers of dark clouds, it seems that the night is even darker, if it is not for the light from the wooden houses on both sides of the road from time to time, this dark night road is really not easy to walk.
"The wind is blowing."
A gust of wind with a sultry feeling swept the breath of the earth on the ground, blowing the Buddha, and Shi Zhongtai's heart was also sullen.
"Looks like I'm going to get a good night's sleep again tonight."
"Even if there is wind and rain, you still have a thatched house to shelter it, and the sound of wind and rain is what you sleep. But what about the people who are not sheltered from the wind and rain, this wind is like a killing hand, destroying it step by step; This rain is like a silver needle, dripping into the heart. In this way, do you still think that tonight will be a good night's sleep? "Zhou Kangren's training will not be timed, and this basin of cold water has never been so timely.
Fortunately, Shi Zhongtai was used to his moves, but he still glared at him fiercely, until his eyes were sore, and then he couldn't see the dissatisfaction in his eyes when he thought of the big night.
"There are thousands of people in the world, even if I am willing to ask for my life for the people, but Kangren, I can't save one of so many people, you say?"
"I know that you will say that the people who read in the world are like the vast starry sky, and only when everyone can ask for their lives for the people, so that the people of the whole world can live a good life. But I'm going to ask you again, Kangren, now Mrs. Mingxiu's case is also a request for the people's life, not to mention how the emperor will deal with me after the case, just now, am I on the way to ask for the people's life? Without waiting for Zhou Kangren to answer, Shi Zhongtai continued, "On the top, I am a minister of the dynasty, and on the bottom, I can also be regarded as the parent official of one party. Whether it involves the emperor's relatives or the princes and nobles, what I care about is not the emperor's attitude, but the victim's meaning. ”
"If he wants the other party to kill people to pay for his life and repay his debts, then I will sentence him according to the law, if he is willing to spare someone's life and everything will be fine, then I will not harden my head and force my head."
"I know what you mean, but now that we are officials in the court, we have to consider the meaning of the saint."
