Chapter 116: The Court (2)

Liu Siyi was brought to the hall in a plain white dress, bent her legs, and knelt beside her comfortably.

"People's girl Liu Siyi, see Your Highness, see the two adults."

Zhu Zongchen, who had not spoken, looked at Liu Siyi with a little ruthlessness in his eyes,

In his heart, Liu Siyi and Ning Er are different, he has always cultivated her as his capable subordinate, so he thinks from the bottom of his heart that Liu Siyi and An Yi are together, which is a deep betrayal of his careful cultivation.

Zhou Rulin opened his mouth and asked her: "Liu Siyi, what Zeng Ziren said just now is the truth?" ”

"Back to my lord's words, what Lord Zeng said was not the truth, because there were some poetry meetings in the building later, so I sent someone to decorate the red lantern in front of the door, but Lord Zeng's concubine Yang was indiscriminate, and asked us to replace the white lamp used for the funeral, and threatened to burn the Qianyun Tower.

I can't see it before I have a conflict with them, Lord Zeng has a lot of honor guards, and he held the people in my building, Ziyun girl, and after repeated negotiations, he agreed to exchange me for Ziyun girl, who knows that he and his concubine Yang have suffered humiliation along the way, I don't know where Qianyun Lou offended Lord Zeng, and he wants to oppress us like this. ”

Liu Siyi lowered his head and told the truth of the matter.

"Humph!"

Zeng Ziren snorted coldly,

"How can the words of a woman in a green house be taken seriously! What's more, we also had a few guards killed. ”

Zeng Ziren pointed at Liu Siyi and said to Zhou Rulin: "My lord, this Liu Siyi and another maid in Qianyun Tower, relying on her own martial arts, not to mention the sergeant who injured me, but also killed someone, I can't be angry, and I take her away with the intention of correcting the Fa." ”

Zhu Zongchen said with a calm face: "Zeng Ziren is right, this official has also heard of it, Liu Siyi, the shopkeeper of Jiangyun Building, is very good at martial arts, and the ordinary guards are not close at all, how can you casually let a Yang family bully, I see that you are clearly arranging the court officials, so you rushed out to hurt people, and you should be beaten with a hundred boards first!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up one of the sticks in the bamboo tube on the table and held it on the ground.

Before Gao Ying could speak, An Yi was in a hurry, he blocked in front of Liu Siyi, and said angrily: "Who dares!" ”

Frightened, the two officers who were just about to step forward with the killing stick shrank and shrank their hands and looked at Zhu Zongchen who gave orders, after all, the one kneeling here was a four-rank garrison general, and he was not an ordinary civilian prisoner, and Zhu Zongchen was going to fight Liu Siyi, how dare they do it.

Liu Siyi raised her head lightly, looking at her comfortable back, she felt that there was a mountain in front of her, blocking all the oncoming wind and rain for herself.

"Brother Yi is a little impulsive?"

Jin Mingyin, who was at the door of the hall, whispered to Meng Qi,

"You two dolls know what, this is called a man, and you have to stand in front of your own woman at a critical moment." Lin Muzhi on the side interjected, and as he spoke, he glanced at Ziyun beside An Xin with his spare eyes.

Ziyun didn't have any expression reaction as he thought, he still looked at this scene in the hall with an expressionless face, but there was a trace of joy in his heart, although Anyi was very unhappy that day, but now it seems that he still has Liu Siyi in his heart, that is, he wants to pray that she is a good sister, don't be stupid again.

According to the inspector, Lord Zhou was not in such a good mood, he glared angrily, slapped the eye-catching, and reprimanded:

"Bold! Above the court, what do you want to do! ”

Gao Yingshu on the first seat hurriedly and deliberately said: "Anyi, do you have something to say?" ”

An Yi stood up and questioned Zeng Ziren: "As a commander, you have all the authority involved, what authority do you have to take people on the street!" Without handing it over to the local government, what power do you have to correct the law on the spot for an ordinary person! ”

He was lively and grabbed Zeng Ziren's pigtail,

However, Zeng Ziren was not to be outdone, and retorted: "Even if the power I exercise is outside my authority, then what about your comfort? Qianyunlou is a merchant in Chengdu, they don't go to the local government, what's the matter with looking for you to be comfortable? Even if it is to arrest bandits, it should be the business of the local county government!

Moreover, what do you say that the rain and fog are obscuring, so the bandits can't see the crowd clearly, and it's clearly a lie, so when you stab me with a sword, you saw my face? A dignified court official, for the sake of a Qinglou woman, called his subordinate generals without authorization, and plotted to assassinate Shangguan, where do you put the face of the court? Where is the dignity? ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and for a while he pointed at An Yi's speech and frothed.

Zhu Zongchen didn't say a word except for being angry just now and opening his mouth to hit Liu Siyi, as if he was a spectator the whole time, because An Yi and Zeng Ziren were both pawns to him, and it was not beneficial for him to whisk either one for the time being, and he knew that Gao Yingshu, as the chief judge, would not let An Yi have an accident, so he just waited until Zeng Ziren was deflated, and saved a few sentences.

Gao Yingshu didn't know what Zhu Zongchen was thinking, and was afraid that he would make trouble again, so he opened his mouth and asked the key sentence: "Anyi, are you and Liu Siyi in harmony?" ”

As long as An Yi said that Liu Siyi was his concubine, then Gao Yingshu could reasonably give it to the past, better than plotting to assassinate Shangguan, right?

"Liu Siyi is ........."

An Yi was halfway through speaking, and suddenly stopped,

The events of that day made An Yi feel that Liu Siyi might not be as yearning for him as he thought, so he didn't know if it was too unfair for Liu Siyi to tie her up with himself in order to clear his name.

At this time, Zhou Rulin, who had already heard about the relationship between the two of them, looked at the silent An Yi, and frowned for a while, if An Yi really had nothing to do with Liu Siyi, then the act of mobilizing the army to deliberately kill the commander was enough to lock him up in Dali Temple.

Ziyun is even more anxious, what's the matter with these two people? It's all this time, what's the matter with half of the mouth?

Rao is even Zhu Zongchen saw their little tricks, but the sudden silence made him unsure of the reason, thinking about what might happen, and he was about to say something.

“......... It is the concubine room of Anfu. ”

An Yi turned his head to look at Liu Siyi, who was bowing his head beside him, and his red lips were lightly opened,

What does she mean by that? Got it thought about? Or is it just because they want to clear my name?

Thinking like this, An Yi couldn't sort out the thoughts in his mind for a while,

Although Gao Yingshu didn't know what was wrong with the two of them, someone finally said the whole thing.

"As officials of the imperial court, the two of you disregard each other's identities and fight each other privately, which is simply unseemly!"

Gao Yingshu said this harshly, but unconsciously lowered the matter back to the level of private fighting.

However, Zeng Ziren was not happy, jumped up, pointed at Gao Yingshu and said angrily: "You....... You are clearly protecting him! The two of you are already in a hurry! Of course you are towards him, even if Liu Siyi is a concubine in his house, just a concubine, what does it matter if he dies? Is that the reason to kill my whole family? ”

After listening to Zeng Ziren's words, Zhu Zongchen felt that his eyes were dark, and he felt a little angry and bloody, and he kept feeling worthless for Zeng Lao's commander, I am afraid that if Zeng Lao knew that this son was like this, he would suffocate Zeng Ziren to death when he was in infancy.

It doesn't matter what he said, the three trials were offended by him,

First of all, Zhou Rulin, who had just been "educated" by his wife in the morning, snorted coldly, and said now: "What's wrong with the concubine's room?" Isn't the concubine her own family? is also a yellow flower girl, and when you are a concubine, you have to be bullied? ”

followed by Gao Yingshu, who slapped the awakening wood heavily, trembling with anger, stood up and scolded: "Zeng Ziren! If you can't produce evidence today, I will ask my father to personally write a memo to the imperial uncle, impeaching you for insulting the royal family and punishing you for the nine clans! ”

This frightened Zeng Ziren, who was still menacing just now, and realized that he had lost his words, but the words had already been spoken, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Zhu Zongchen didn't speak anymore when he saw this situation, Gao Ying really folded up in a fit of anger, and the matter was going to be big, and he couldn't even get involved.

He stood up, pressed his hand towards the angry people, and said with relief: "Several of them are dissipated, Your Highness and Lord Zhou, please sit down first, according to this official, it is just a battle of will between the two, men, who has not yet had a strong blood, there is no need to rise to the level of killing and convicting." At present, the emperor is in the northwest battlefield, and we are the courtiers to change to the saint to share the worries, these sesame mung beans, don't be too aggressive, what do you think? ”

Gao Yingshu didn't expect Zhu Zongchen to actually become a peacemaker and help her turn big things into small things, but it was unusual.

But although he thought so in his heart, he still glanced at Zeng Ziren fiercely on his face, snorted lightly, and sat back on the case without saying anything, which can be regarded as an expression of approval.

Both of these people expressed their attitudes, and Rulin's opinion this week is not so important.

Zeng Ziren, who was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, secretly arched his hand towards Zhu Zongchen to show his gratitude,

Zhu Zongchen hurriedly turned his face away, and cleared up the relationship with him.

"In this case, then I propose that Zeng Ziren, the former commander of the Sichuan Metropolitan Governor, and the former Chengdu Cheng announce that the political envoy An Yiguan should be reinstated and fined for half a year as a punishment, I don't know what the presiding judge wants?"

Zhou Rulin mentioned his meaning to Gao Yingshu and waited for her reply,

Gao Yingshu had a slightly cold face, and said coldly: "Zeng Ziren has no royal law, roars in the court, despises the imperial court, and does not punish slightly, how to maintain the royal face, it is recommended that he be fined for one year, move to the left to command the same knowledge, and still exercise the power of command, I don't know what the two adults think?" ”

Moving to the left, in the Great Xia Dynasty, is actually a derogatory meaning.

Zhu Zongchen's point of concern is not here, he continued: "The people's daughter Liu Siyi, the shot is very spicy, killing the court officials and generals, although there is a reason for the incident, and the circumstances are excusable, but it is necessary to punish him, and it is recommended to be imprisoned for the time being, and then see the after-effects after some reflection." ”

Of course, Gao Yingshu couldn't watch him arrest Liu Siyi, and the prison was dark and missing, how could he know how much would happen when the time came,

"Lord Zhu, Liu Siyi is a weak woman, and there were also people in Jiangyun Tower who were seriously injured at that time, and there were no eyes under the conflict between the two, and it was inevitable that they would miss, so the sentence would make people say that we only allowed the state officials to set fires, and did not ask the people to light the lamps."

Zhou Rulin was somewhat sympathetic to Liu Siyi because of Mrs. Liu, and he interjected: "I think what His Royal Highness said is very true, but Zeng Ziren has also moved to the left one level, so he can't help but punish him, then seal the Qianyun Tower first, and then discuss it on the day of opening." ”

Zhu Zongchen had a calm face, looking dissatisfied, but since Zhou Rulin and Gao Yingshu both had the same opinion, then he had nothing to say.

"You have to think about it."

"Since Lord Zhu has no objections, let's have Lord Lao Zhou to make a statement."

Gao Yingshu gestured towards Zhou Rulin,

"Yes, Your Highness."

He took the pamphlet on the case, walked to the hall, and read it aloud: "The Nanshan case,

The former commander of the Sichuan capital, Zeng Ziren, was lawless, bullied the people, roared in court, fined him for one year, moved to the left to command the same knowledge, and still exercised the power of the commander of the capital.

The former Chengdu garrison general was comfortable with the official indulgence, fought with the official privately, and exercised the power of transferring troops in accordance with the imperial court regulations, and was fined for half a year, and ordered to reflect on himself and make amends.

Liu Siyi, a folk girl, seriously injured others in the process of fighting with others, and now seals up her Qianyun Tower to see its after-effects. ”

After speaking, he closed the pamphlet and asked the three people in the hall: "What else do the three of you have to appeal?" ”

An Yi and Liu Siyi naturally have nothing to say, although Rao is Zeng Ziren is unwilling, but there is no way, the chief and deputy officials in the hall are dissatisfied with him, if it weren't for Zhu Zongchen's round, it would be difficult for Gao Ying Shuzhen to go to his imperial uncle's case to visit him.

"Since you all have nothing to say."

Zhou Rulin bowed down and looked at Gao Yingshu,

"Your Highness, look at ......"

Gao Yingshu raised the awakening wood high and slapped it heavily on the table,

"Smack!"

"Case closed!"

The funeral of Zeng Hanru, the former old conductor, ended hastily in such a way, and became the laughing stock of the people on the streets and alleys of Chengdu after tea and dinner.
