Chapter 27: Wonderland
"Lord Ning, you looked down on me when the little girl was in the Yunwang Mansion, can you admit it?" Tai Shi Xinhe's face was pale, and his eyes were as clear as water.
A pair of thin and delicate fingers blocked her small half of a goose egg face because of the fist salute.
Ning Chang actually didn't react to the hairpin matter, and he didn't seem to know how to act if he wanted to return it to her.
There is really nothing about looking down on her, he just can't find a reason to convince himself, after all, there are very few women who dare to participate in court politics casually.
Taishi Xinhe has already given birth to a crying appearance, and his already delicate and thin body with a few tears is even more pitiful.
"You must think that I am attached to His Royal Highness King Yun, and think that I am not good to treat the boudoir but come out and show my face, not only violating female morality, but also insisting on being able to sit at the table with you and show myself. Not only that, I have a backer like King Yun, and I even shamelessly intercepted Lord Ning. Tai Shi Xinhe had already rolled down a teardrop, and there were sobbing sounds from time to time, "You must have degraded me to worthlessness in your heart." ”
This......
Ning Chang hesitated for a moment, as if what she said accounted for such a part.
After her careful analysis, Ning Chang was unwilling to deny it.
But there were other reasons, at least that's what his instincts told him.
"Now Lord Ning even suspects that a junior official who has just taken office has become the object of He Mou's dependence? Because the little woman shouldn't have appeared in the Langzhou cell, shouldn't she have said a few more words to him, and she became your key suspect? Then I'll give you the hairpin, do I still have to marry Lord Ning! ”
These words pierced Ning Yuan's ears.
It turns out that the hairpin stuffed to him is waiting here to choke him?
But I have to say that Tai Shi Xinhe's clever words and good arguments somehow moved him inexplicably, and even thought that the previous suspicions might just be his own professional problems, and everyone felt that the intentions were wrong?
"Hey! Are you still trying me? I slept and woke up. "These people are also verbose, when this stinking cell is a stage?
Ning Chang has tried cases for so many years, and it is rare to see a ...... who can't wait to be arraigned
Although Qi Shen didn't think about deliberately having a good relationship with Lord Ning, he spoke normally: "The emperor asked Lord Ning to come here for Zhang Qu's case?" ”
"Not exactly, the main thing is to come over to review a few previous cases, and I just happened to check some private matters." Ning Changchang was very interested in this unpretentious and serious Qi Shen.
Qi Shen's personality is very much like his twenty-year-old self.
Jia Shen: "......"
"It's the first time I've seen someone so eager to die." Qi Shen stroked Jia Shen's messy hair that had fallen down, and stared at Jia Shen curiously with his eyes.
Can he not be in a hurry? Everyone said that if the time is delayed for too long, his family will be killed.
Delay for two more days to kill one of his relatives until they are all killed. He would rather die himself in exchange for the safety of his family.
"I killed them, and Zhang Qu was framed by me." Jia Shen sat up suddenly, buried his head in his knees, and seemed to be in some pain holding his head, "Let me bow down earlier." ”
Qi Shen squatted down and looked at him, Jia Shen felt uncomfortable because of such a look for a while, and avoided it several times.
"You have killed so many people, and now you want to not be punished at all, and reward you with death?" Qi Shen sneered.
Ning Changchang didn't answer much on the side, these opportunities should have allowed the newcomer to exercise well, so he was silent.
Taishi Xinhe deeply understood that Jia Shen must know something, but he didn't want to say it.
She listened carefully to the process told by Qi Shen, Jia Shen disarmed and surrendered from the beginning of his arrest, and even came to the prison surprisingly without being beaten, and cooperated very well.
Afraid of torture?
"It's better to have a grooming punishment and correct the law on the spot." Taishi Xinhe smiled at Jia Shen.
The punishment of grooming is not simply a kind of grooming and washing of the face, but an extremely cruel criminal law, in which the person who is executed will be stripped of his flesh and blood little by little by a red-hot iron grasp until his flesh and bones are exposed.
After a while, the torture equipment was moved.
Jia Shen stared at the red-hot scratch, the sweat droplets on his face pooled down his cheeks, and he didn't know whether it was hot or frightened, and the clothes on his back were already soaked.
"You...... You guys! Jia Shen wanted to complain about something, but he couldn't seem to find any suitable reason.
"What? Is there something you'd like to explain? Qi Shen stared at him with a hot red grab, and smiled meaningfully.
Originally, in the first few rape and murder cases, Taishi Xinhe and Qi Shen could determine that Zhang Qu was the murderer, but at that time, Qi Shen had just arrived, and the holy decree for him to intervene in the case had not yet been issued, so he failed to protect the evidence.
Therefore, even if Zhang Xian was placed under house arrest, there was no evidence, and there was no arrest warrant for Zhang Qu for a long time.
Now Jia Shen's appearance is obviously to take the blame.
The cell was sparse and sparsely populated with the occasional mouse, and several people were waiting outside for news of Qi Shen.
About two hours later, Jia Shen finally explained something.
"He finally confessed to himself, and as long as he did, the biggest problem was solved." Qi Shen came out of the cell, straightened the folds on his sleeves, and said calmly.
Everyone understands what it means, Zhang Chi used Jia Shen's family to blackmail him to take the blame for Zhang Qu, as long as he confessed honestly, the whole case would be simple.
"Brother Qi, I think this county order must have something else to do with it besides protecting his son." She glanced at Ning Yuanyuan, "Even Doctor Yu Shi is here, this must be a good time to make meritorious contributions, and when it is time to behave, it is better to behave well, Lord Ning sees it in his eyes." When she had finished speaking, she saluted first.
Qinghua wiped two handfuls of cold sweat, and quickly kept up with Taishi Xinhe's pace.
At that time, the street was bustling with people, and the road was full of vendors selling all kinds of special snacks.
"Qinghua, do you want to obey my orders?" Taishi Xinhe walked to an old man who sold sugar gourds, raised his eyebrows slightly, and bought two strings of sugar gourds with his own money, and gave one bunch to Qinghua.
Qinghua Mudi took the sugar gourd and nodded: "His Royal Highness King Yun assigned the blue and white flowers to Miss's orders, so naturally he had to obey Miss's orders." ”
"That'...... What do I do after that, can you promise not to tell His Highness the Cloud King? Tai Shi Xinhe looked at Qinghua with interest.
Sugar gourd is a magical thing, sour and sweet but can always give people a different enjoyment, Taishi Xinhe is the second time to eat this thing, the first time is when Liu Chunmin secretly brought it back to him when he was ten years old.
On the contrary, Qinghua is the first time to eat it, but looking at her expression, it looks like she enjoys it.
But there was some hesitation when he heard Tai Shi Xinhe's question.
"Miss...... I ...... "She grew up in the Yunwang Mansion since she was a child, and the Yunwang has always been good to the maids and guards in the mansion, although she also likes the new lady, but she is a person from the Yunwang Mansion after all."
Tai Shi Xinhe didn't want to force her, and added: "I'm not asking you to betray Song Zizhen, you won't follow when I don't ask you to follow, in this case, you will be equivalent to not breaking the rules on both sides, you just need to tell King Yun what you know, and you can't tell him what you don't know, right?" ”
Qinghua grinned and smiled like a tiger.
That's no problem.
Anyway, King Yun also said that when Miss didn't want to follow herself, she had to listen to Miss.
……
Tingdu.
Red Mountain.
The knife-like cliff rises from the ground, it seems to be above the clouds, and the hanging stack is built according to the stone, and you can only see the bottomless abyss of dozens of zhang when you look down.
A narrow road large enough for one person to pass through is rugged upward, and climbers who are not careful can fall to pieces.
From time to time, there was a sound of ape roaring from the high cliff, and it took Song Zizhen nearly two hours to climb this peak.
The top of the mountain cliff is another scene, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the mountains are full of red leaves, and the aura is compelling to live here, and the surrounding mountains are rising from the ground, and it looks like a ten-mile fairyland.
This mountain is one of the mountains of the Hongyue Mountains, and there is a pavilion on the top of the cliff, in which is an old man with a white beard pondering a chess game.
"Here we go!" The old gentleman played with a white piece in his hand, and the jade plate made a crisp sound.
Song Zizhen's white clothes and dark hair are very elegant, obedient to the breeze and slightly floating, with an elegant posture.
The evening clouds in the west gradually close, and you can see a larger and rounder sunset here, but before the setting time, it does not show the fat pink red glow, and the light and elegant glass appears.
"Mr. Ge, a year later, you are still obsessed with chess!" Song Zizhen smiled, like ripples from the corners of his mouth to his whole face.
Mr. Ge stroked his beard and stared at his chess game as if he was dissatisfied: "Defeated and defeated." Then he picked up the black and white chess pieces on the jade board and returned them to the chess jar.
"Mr. Ge is still struggling with the fact that Old Man He won your game?" Song Zizhen sat on the stone bench next to him and asked casually.
"He's a despicable villain, and he deserves to be entangled with me?" Mr. Ge seemed displeased, his face turned red with anxiety, he pulled Song Zizhen's arm, and then turned to business and cut the pulse to diagnose.
He nodded and shook his hand off: "Good recovery, boy!" ”
"I won't use it anymore, you finally don't have to climb this 10,000-step ladder." Mr. Ge spoke in a somewhat unusual tone, as if he was finally relieved, and it was like this place with high cliffs and steep cliffs in the deep mountains and old forests, if even Song Zizhen didn't come in the future, no one would come.
He takes care of a large garden by himself, rests when he is sleepy, and reads books to set up chess games when he is not sleepy, in order to exercise Song Zizhen's physical cultivation, he let him go up and down the mountain twice a day, and later even increased to three round-trips.
During that time, Song Zizhen complained to him so much that he was bleeding behind his back.
But the days are real.
Later, his condition gradually recovered, and he reduced the number of climbs year by year.
Song Zizhen is very punctual and never comes again.
It's just that when Mr. Ge said this, Song Zizhen seemed to be scratched by a dog's tail, and he felt uncomfortable.
Song Zizhen changed the topic and said, "Mr. Ge, I brought you some food and clothing today. ”
Mr. Ge squinted and snorted.
"You didn't bring Xue Xiang up this time?" Mr. Ge asked suddenly.
Xue Xiang is the goddaughter recognized by Mr. Ge, and he has always wanted to find a successor for his good doctor.
He originally valued Xue Xiang, but Xue Xiang said that although he was good at practicing medicine, he was unwilling to see patients all day long.
"Although Miss Xue is your goddaughter, she is not in the hospital, so forget it."
