In the afternoon in Chang'an, there was a sudden gust of wind, and the wind blew a cloud, which came from the Qinling Mountains, covering the sun and casting a large shadow. The old man who set up a cloth stall selling sideburns brushes on the side of the street looked up at the sky, rubbed his feet, got up to pack his things, and called the baby playing with mud in the corner to go home.

The wind blew through the west inner garden of Taiji Palace, and the green and yellow leaves were reluctant to leave the branches and spread in the forest and roadside. The two tigers in the tiger stream ate the haggis and bones thrown in by the handymen with disgust, and missed yesterday's lamb shank. But he was glad that the two evil stars were gone.

The wind blew through the Lizheng Palace, bringing the chill of autumn and winter. Empress Changsun coughed lightly twice, and the palace maids and maids hurriedly closed the door and closed the window, and put down the thick cotton curtain next to the bed. The incense that Mrs. Zhen often carefully blends is extinguished in the copper furnace of the pine crane for a long time, the fragrance is pervasive, and the smoke is a bunch of smoke flowing straight up along the crane's beak, lingering in the beams of the palace.

The fragrance of the nourishing incense is pleasant, not richer than the original tribute smoke, but it is ...... Empress Eldest Sun still misses the aroma of wine. It's a pity that no matter how much you save, the wine has already been drunk......

Empress Changsun sat on the couch, and on the table in front of her was the account book of the consumption and expenditure of the palace treasury for a season. The fingers of his hands swiped over the numbers one by one, and the major managers kneeling outside the curtain were trembling. Hold your breath and wait for the hadith, not daring to relax in the slightest. Suddenly, a baby's cry sounded in the warm pavilion next door. Empress Eldest Sun's eyebrows moved slightly, and she continued to review the account books. Immediately, the nurse coaxed the child, and the voice of comfort came. Empress Eldest Sun looked calm, and her fingers continued to run over the columns of numbers. However, the cry did not subside, but the low voice of the nurse and others became more and more panicked.

Empress Eldest Sun looked slightly displeased between her eyebrows, but still did not speak. Hold on, silently continue to review and wait. However, although the cry gradually weakened, the nervous voice became stronger. Finally, with a snap, the door of the warm pavilion was pushed open, and an Amu fell to the ground in a panic, and said with a quick breath: "Niangniang, the little princess suddenly turned red and hot all over her body, her breath is getting weaker and weaker, the slave and maid are helpless, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun snapped and got up, walked into the warm pavilion in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered: "Go quickly and ask Mrs. Zhen to come often!" ”

The county government of Chang'an County, the county government hall was not originally used as a place to hear cases. Because the prefectural magistrate is not responsible for hearing cases, it is the duty of the prefectural lieutenant to adjudicate the case. General civil disputes, petty theft, burglary, fights, these cases are generally handled by the officer, and the arrested prisoners are tried and disposed of in the office of the county lieutenant.

As for major human life cases, they are generally tried by Dali Temple, which is where major cases are handled. Although the incident of Zhan Lulou caused a lot of trouble, after all, there was no death. Moreover, the case is not complicated and is still a civil dispute. The emperor also rejected Dali Temple's request to intervene on this ground. However, after some bargaining between the ministers and the emperor, although the case was still tried by Chang'an County, there were more yamen who supervised and observed...... Several.

Dali Temple, with two records, sat on the side of the county order. Three imperial histories came to the Imperial History Academy, sitting on the right side of the prefectural order. Opposite the three iron-faced imperial histories, sat a record sent by the county lieutenant of Chang'an County and Jin Wuwei to fill the number.

This is on the front desk of the hall. After the dissolution of the court, uninvited people came to Chang'an County in various names, and when they couldn't stay, they sent Langzhong of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who clearly said that they would be tried, and the Zhongshu Province recorded the matter, and ...... Wei Shenming. There are also other officials who purely came to join in the fun and listen to the news, as well as Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Chai Lingwu of the Duke of Qianguo.

And just when all the officials were around King Wei and had nothing to say, the side door of the county government was pushed open again. An errand bowed forward, his head almost down to the ground, and led the people into the courtyard. When everyone looked sideways, they lost their voices for a moment. King Wei turned his back to the courtyard gate, and originally talked with Wei Shenming about moderation, but suddenly found that Wei Shenming's eyes were cast behind him, and his expression was sluggish. Li Tai turned around in surprise and saw a gorgeous red dress and purple jacket, like red plums proudly blooming in the winter snow, looking back at the past one by one without fear against everyone's eyes.

Under that gaze, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the officials still couldn't help but hang their heads and hide. The scattered greetings gradually sounded: "Xiaguan has seen Mrs. Li......"

Li Tai has a good impression of this somewhat flamboyant woman, and the model of a woman in his heart should be like his mother, who takes care of the housework behind his father and the emperor and supports him silently. But the etiquette on the face could not be ignored, Li Tai respectfully stepped forward to salute: "Tai greets Mrs. Li, Mrs. has always been good?" ”

"Chai Lingwu asked Mrs. Li for peace. Madame is well. ”

Hongfu returned the salute with a kind smile, and looked at Li Tai and Chai Lingwu: "The courtiers pay a visit to the King of Wei." Ling Wu, why do you have to come here today, the Dharma in the house? Done? ”

Chai Lingwu Xingli explained: "Back to Mrs. Li, she is not busy today, so she has time to accompany King Wei over...... Let's take a look at how Chang'an County is governed. ”

Hongfu smiled slightly and didn't break this ridiculous excuse, and echoed the encouragement: "King Wei is really diligent, so let's take a good look at the two." If the courtiers still have something to do, they will not accompany them. ”

Li Tai was half a head shorter than Hongfu, and when he saw a group of six people following Hongfu, he immediately recognized that four of them were the people who made a big disturbance in the Mansion of the Emperor yesterday. Yesterday they left suddenly, but they didn't expect to follow behind Duchess Wei Guo today, and all kinds of speculations couldn't help but arise in their hearts, and they subconsciously stopped Hongfu and asked, "What is the matter with Madame?" ”

Hongfu still smiled kindly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person wearing the official uniform of Chang'an County Commander appear under the corridor, his lips opened lightly, and his voice ensured that everyone could hear it clearly: "The nephew of the courtier's is on trial today, and the courtier is afraid that he has been wronged, so she came to take a look!" After speaking, Fengmu had already stared at Miao Zhengze, who had just come over, and asked loudly: "Miao Xianzun?" I don't know if the women can go to court as relatives! ”

The voice of the red breeze clearly expressed its firm attitude, and Miao Zhengzheng was not allowed to prevaricate at all. Miao Zhengze was already startled by Li Luoyun's sudden appearance of the emperor's uncle in the court. Why is there another one looking for a nephew now, what is the origin of this Li Luoyun? Fortunately, Miao Zhengze recognized the identities of several people behind Hongfu in a blink of an eye. He and Li Zhen'an had still met, and hurriedly asked for help: "This is Li Zhuangshi, right?" Li Zhensheng's younger brother? ”

Li Zhenan saluted and said: "Li Zhen'an pays a visit to Miao County!" ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy. Who are these people? Miao Xian Ling glanced at everyone in this courtyard, and to be honest, he didn't know any of them. He recognized the young official who didn't give him a good face outside the main hall.

Li Zhenan thought that he was asking himself, and introduced Miao Zhengze sideways: "This is Mrs. Li, the Duke of Weiguo." This is my uncle, my second brother's father. ”

"Oh, the lower official greets Mrs. Li." Miao Zhengze hurriedly gave the red breeze a salute again. After the county lieutenant was attached, he gave him a detailed introduction to several unprovoked lords in Chang'an City, and the first one among the women was the tigress of the Weiguo Mansion!

"Miao County Commander is polite, the folk woman is an idler, how can she be so courteous by the county magistrate." Hongfu smiled lightly and turned sideways to avoid Miao Zhengze's salute, there were many people here, she didn't want to tell the truth and provoke more criticism. raised his hand and led to Li Tai, and said: "This is Li Tai, the king of Wei, who specially came to the county government to check how the subordinates of the county order worked. Miao County's order is not easy to entertain. ”

Miao Zhengze didn't expect another prince to come, and hurriedly gave Li Tai a salute. Hongfu smiled slyly: "Miao County ordered and settled the King of Wei first, and now the plaintiff and the defendant have not yet arrived, and the courtiers are waiting in the court." After that, without waiting for Miao Zheng's reaction, he quickly led a few people to go straight to the main hall.

Seeing Miao Zhengze's appearance of taking care of one thing and losing the other, and panicking around, Wei Shenming turned around disdainfully, thinking about how he would deal with the officials of all parties if he replaced him with his own body, and how he would talk eloquently, reprimanding Fang Xuan, declaring righteousness, and refuting Li Luoyun was speechless. Then he was beaten and exiled......

Just as he was going to the fun place, Miao Zhengze had already led Li Taitong, the king of Wei, to the lobby. No way, although Li Tai didn't want to show his face, he was really curious about why this matter attracted so much attention. However, he did not show up, just hid behind the screen and sat opposite Chai Lingwu to listen to the trial.

Above the lobby, in fact, the plaintiff had already arrived. It's just that the plaintiff, who was reluctant to be arrested, knelt alone by the door, sweating like rain on his forehead, if it weren't for the thick clouds in the sky and the gusting autumn wind, he would have thought that this person was kneeling under the hot sun.

Who are the plaintiffs?

Although everyone knows this case, how to deal with it depends on the attitude of the Wei family. And the development of this case has now been completely a competition between the forces of the Wei family and the "Li family", and the contradiction is only between these two parties. However, neither of these parties is a plaintiff! No matter how many people the Wei family has injured, how much Wei Yi has been injured, the real sufferer has someone else. And this person is the forgotten shopkeeper of Zhan Lulou, Bai Yanqing. Zhanlu Lou was almost completely destroyed on the first floor because of the small seclusion, and the second floor was fortunately intact, but the stairs up the stairs collapsed. The most terrible thing is that the pillars supporting the building are damaged, and the roof beams are in danger. Although it can be repaired, no one is willing to compensate.

In addition to these, the three women in red fled, and the loss was also Zhan Lulou. In the public trial of this case, everyone thought that Wei Yi and Li Luoyun would go to court. Unexpectedly, Miao Zhengze found Bai Yanqing and said that he wanted to give him justice. But look at these people in Chang'an County today, this posture ...... Hehe, Bai Yanqing said in his heart, Master Miao, you still let me go back to find the root house beam and hang myself.

Bai Yanqing was thinking about how to shirk for a while, and the figure in front of him flashed, and he subconsciously lowered his head. But a messenger came to report, and Wei Yi arrived. Miao Zhengze coughed and said, "Summoned the defendant Wei Yi to the court." ”

After a while, before the people arrived, they only heard the sound of oops, oo Everyone in the hall followed the sound and looked at it, only to see four big men resisting a wooden plank, and Wei Yi who was covered with a brocade quilt was lying on it. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he whispered to Li Guangxiong behind him: "It's this waste, I heard Yun'er say that Xiao You'er showed mercy under his claws, so he didn't become a cripple." Look at this virtue, it is really like a cripple. ”

"Wei Yi? Who is he? ”

"Wei Xuanli. Have you seen it? ”

Li Guangxiong frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.

The four big men put Wei Yi on the ground, and Wei Yi screamed in pain while scanning the crowd in the hall and found that there were no acquaintances. Cover your head and don't speak, just cry out in pain. Miao Zhengze ignored him, drank tea by himself, and waited for Li Luoyun's arrival.

Before the tea was finished, another errand came to report that Li Luoyun had arrived at the door. Without waiting for Miao Zheng's summons, the chamberlain led the way, and the two guards followed, Li Luoyun walked into the lobby with the fire phoenix sword on his waist. If it weren't for the sound of the handcuffs and shackles, the indifferent posture of the elegant smile would not have been able to tell that he was an escorted prisoner.

Li Luoyun stepped into the lobby and suddenly saw everyone sitting around and couldn't help but be stunned, and then he recognized the particularly eye-catching Red Whisk, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the old lady and the fourth uncle with a concerned look on their faces behind the Red Whisk. Subconsciously he was about to open his mouth to call, but he saw Hongfu waving his hand at him, so he stopped his mouth and walked to the position in front of Hongfu, and knelt down in front of the main hall, his eyes were already slightly red. But he didn't notice Wei Yi, who was lying on the wooden board next to him, gritting his teeth and glaring at him.

The reserved attendant shook hands with the officials of Dali Temple: "Miao County Order, our family will bring Li Luoyun to your Majesty's edict." ”

Miao Zhengze got up and said politely: "There is a father-in-law, and I also invite my father-in-law to the side hall to serve tea and rest, and then my father-in-law will come when the official tries the case." ”

"Don't bother, Your Majesty has already explained when you come, let the servants observe the court trial, so that you can go back and report to Your Majesty the process. Our family will do it over there for a while, and Miao County will only try the case. After speaking, he didn't wait for Miao Zhengzheng to speak, walked to the corner by himself, and called the messenger to bring a futon and sit down.

Dali Temple Cheng frowned and looked at the people representing all parties in the hall, and they all disturbed the majesty of the court, and snorted unhappily: "Miao County Order, the plaintiffs and defendants have all arrived, hurry up and start the trial." ”

Miao Zhengze sat down again and unfolded the case file on the desk. For a while, inside and outside the hall, the forces of all parties waited with bated breath, only to hear Miao Zhengze speak loudly: "The case of Zhan Lulou being smashed is ordered by His Majesty, the official is in charge of the trial, and the assistant director of Dali Temple will start the trial today." It is rumored that the shopkeeper of Zhan Lulou is clear! ”

Before the words fell, the inspector Yushi frowned and interrupted: "Slow! Miao County ordered that the culprit was not brought to trial first, and that unrelated people were summoned to come here? ”

Miao Zhengze didn't dare to offend Yushi, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Lord Lin doesn't know, Zhan Lulou was smashed and suffered heavy losses, and the white shopkeeper, as the bitter master, is also the plaintiff in this case, so he should ask first." ”

Lin Yushi was pulled by his colleagues, frowned, nodded and stopped talking. Miao Zhengze secretly breathed a sigh of relief and repeated the summons again. Bai Yanqing bowed and walked to the desk, knelt down and bowed, and said humbly: "Bai Yanqing, the shopkeeper of Zhan Lu Building, listen to the teachings of your adults. ”

"Shopkeeper Bai, were you in the building on the day of the trouble in Zhanlu Building?"

"The villain is in the middle of the building."

"Can you see what happened to you?"

"This ......" Bai Yanqing's eyes rolled slightly, and he peeked at the adults sitting on both sides. But I only saw a serious face with a warning. It's a pity that it's too late to lie now, everyone has forgotten about him, a little person, even the owner behind Zhan Lu Lou. Everyone was paying attention to the 'Wei Lee' controversy, and no one thought of him. There was no one to show him which side to take. So Miao Zhengze said 1510 when he was looking for him before, and basically blamed the responsibility on the red clothes who caused trouble. His signed testimony is now in front of Miao Zhengze, and it is too late to change his words.

Helpless, Bai Yanqing had to repeat what he saw that day again. Hongfu couldn't help but pout dissatisfiedly when he heard that he pushed everything onto Hongyi's body. Li Luoyun was also dissatisfied, and looked sideways at this shopkeeper who had never seen a straight face. He was dissatisfied with his foul words that poured dirt on the red clothes when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth. couldn't help but interject: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." The man has no virtue, and he is resentful. Obviously, it was the disciples who came to the door to bully her, and the girl in red had no choice but to resist, how could she blame the innocent woman for the responsibility. ”

Wei Yizheng gritted his teeth on the wooden board with hatred and hatred, and when he heard Li Luoyun open his mouth to defend the slut, he didn't care about pretending to be in pain, and he stood up and scolded back: "Phew! If it weren't for that slut who went around complaining and seducing you mongrels, where would she dare to beat this son's part! If it weren't for the two dog men and women who played this son's part, how could this son be ......?"

"Shut up! The official has not asked, and you two are not allowed to interject! Miao Zheng shouted loudly and stopped the two from arguing. If they quarrel, his plans will be thrown into chaos.

Li Luoyun turned his head and said nothing, but saw that Hongfu secretly picked his fingers at him. I heard the whisper of the red whisk: "It's a pity that the red clothes didn't come." ”

Li Luoyun was speechless...... However, I really miss her a little.

Bai Yanqing's head was sweating like rain, and he didn't care about adding more oil and vinegar, and finished the matter in a few words, saying that the Wei family was fighting with the red clothes, and then he said that he fainted and didn't know.

Miao Zhengze bowed his head to express his approval, and what Bai Yanqing said was the same as his previous confession, and there was no deviation: "The white shopkeeper has finished stating, and the facts he said are clear. Wei Yi, Li Luoyun, do you have any objections? ”

Wei Yi immediately stiffened his neck and shouted, "I have objections!" I was wounded by the monster he was carrying! Why didn't he say it? ”

"I didn't ask this! You just have to say that the words of the white shopkeeper are not true! ”

Li Luoyun nodded lightly and said sincerely: "What the white shopkeeper said is the truth. Then I ...... It is also a fact that the tiger I raised raised injured everyone in the Wei family in order to protect me, and the blame for this matter lies with me, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

"Haha, you admit it! You hear me, sir! He confessed! Catch him! Hit him on the board! Wei Yi got up excitedly, forgot the pain, and pointed at Li Luoyun and shouted.

Li Tai, who was hiding behind the screen, frowned and looked at Wei Shenming: "Cheng Lang, is your clan's brain broken?" Wei Shenming was so ashamed that he didn't want to admit that he had the same surname as that person.

"Hugh is out of order! What a system! Yushi couldn't listen to it anymore, so he straightened up and drank. I thought to myself that Wei Xuanli was shrewd and capable, how could he give birth to such a useless son.

"Silence! Do not make noise, listen to the official pronouncement. Miao Zhengze cleaned up his clothes, got up and said aloud word by word: "This case arose because Wei Yi and Li Luoyun were fighting in the restaurant, Wei Yi took people to Zhanlu Building to make trouble, provoked incidents, and injured people. should be mainly responsible, so the official judged that all the losses of Zhan Lu Lou should be compensated by Wei Yi! ”

"What?! Why! I'm not convinced! ”

"Silence! Listen to what the official has to say! If you dare to intervene again, the official will raise the torture rod! Miao Zhengze finished speaking with a straight face, and when Dali Temple saw that Wei Yi was about to speak, he picked up the saber and slapped it: "Idiot!" Shut up! ”

Miao Zhengze glanced at it and said: "Li Luoyun committed the murder of the tiger, although it was out of self-defense, but it was difficult to hide his crime. This officer will sentence you to compensate for the cost of the decoction of the injured person, and pay an additional fine of 86 yuan to compensate for the loss of the injured person. Your actions caused panic in the market and almost caused a riot. Therefore, this official sentenced you to 30 boards and 10 days of detention. If you know that you can change your mistakes, and you voluntarily surrender afterwards, the official will forgive you with ten rods. Beat you 20 boards, are you not convinced? ”

"Luo Yun pleaded guilty and was willing to be punished." When Li Luoyun heard that there was no guilt in the red clothes, he was very content, and he willingly bowed his head and thanked him. I thought that after suffering from the 20th board, I would have to recuperate for a while, and the emperor would not be able to let himself remove the dung anymore.

"Good. Wei Yi, what about you? ”

"I ......"

"The Wei family is willing to compensate!" Without waiting for Wei Yi to speak, Wei Shenming bypassed the screen, walked quickly to the hall, and stood beside Wei Yi to make a judgment for him.

"Cousin? Are you here? Why did you come out, I ......"

"Shut up! Don't say much. Wei Shenming lowered his head and stopped Wei Yi, not daring to let this fool say more.

Miao Zhengze didn't care who Wei Shenming was, since he said that the Wei family agreed to compensate, his goal had been achieved. "In this case, both defendants agree with the judge's judgment. The case of the Zhan Lu Lou disturbance can be concluded here, and the defendants and the defendant must immediately hand over the full amount of compensation to the plaintiff and the injured person, without prevarication and delay! ”

"Case closed?!" Everyone inside and outside the hall was stunned, and Hongfu didn't expect the case to be closed so easily, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately suddenly looked at Miao Zhengzhi's eyes and couldn't help but have a little appreciation: This small county order is smart. Almost at the same time, Li Tai also said the same thing to Chai Lingwu. But others don't think so.

"Miao County Order! You've been too hasty in closing the case like this, aren't you? Dali Sicheng's reaction was not slow, and in a blink of an eye, he figured out Miao Zhengze's intention to avoid the important and light.

Miao Zhengze explained unhurriedly: "My lord, it's just a troublesome case. The troublemakers are willing to compensate for the damages, and the wounders learn to accept punishment. There is no grievance to sue, so what's wrong with the lower officials closing the case like this? ”

"...... you" Dali Sicheng was choked for a moment, and then asked: "Li Luoyun hurts people with a tiger, where is the tiger?" How to hurt people, and how to escape, don't you want to investigate? And the three handmaidens who escaped, their whereabouts are unknown, and you don't ask? ”

"My lord, these things have nothing to do with the judgment of this official. Xia Guan had already asked, and Li Luoyun said that the tiger had been disposed of. As for the three fugitive slaves in Zhan Lulou, since the white shopkeeper has reported to the official, Chang'an County will assist in the search. ”

Dali Temple Cheng couldn't refute it for a while. Indeed, regardless of the purpose behind it, this case simply does not need to be tried with such fanfare.

"Miao County Order." Just when the hall was speechless for a while, Wei Shenming suddenly spoke: "My lord, my Wei family is willing to compensate for all the losses of Zhan Lu Lou, the left and right are just some dead objects, and the white shopkeeper will report the number, even if Zhan Lu Lou is demolished and rebuilt, my Wei family can afford to pay for it." However, Li Luoyun seriously injured dozens of slaves of my Wei family, I don't know how to compensate for this account? ”

Faced with Wei Shenming's sudden aggressiveness, Li Luoyun didn't react for a while. Hongfu stared at Wei Shenming with an unkind expression and said leisurely: "The left and right are just the cost of some decoctions, even if they are broken hands and feet, it doesn't cost too much ointment and bandages, my Li family has seen a lot." Although it is not as rich as some people and some medicinal materials, my Li family is not unaffordable. ”

Wei Shenming was not afraid of the red breeze, and looked back proudly: "What, does the Duchess of Weiguo want to compensate for this person?" is also, he is a poor boy in the mountains, where can he get the money. However, I advised Mrs. Li not to stand out for the sake of a poor relative. My Wei family has always been kind to others, but if there is an injury, I must ask the best doctor and use the best medicine. It's okay to say that this soup and medicine cost one or two, but this time I hurt more than a dozen loyal subordinates who protect the Lord, alas, I am only afraid of General Li's food and food...... Inadequate! ”

The red eyes flashed, like a dragon that had been poked with reverse scales, stood up at once, stared at Wei Shenming-for-tat, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly to reveal a mocking smile: "Yes, my husband's little money has been scattered to the old department, and he really hasn't saved much spare money." However, a dozen useless wastes are wasted even if they are raised with thousand-year-old ginseng. I also advise my son, there is nowhere to use the money, instead of raising ordinary waste to add blockage, it is better to give alms to beggars and do some good deeds! ”

Wei Shenming already looked down on the red breeze and the female streamer, and showed up with a big grin, provoking right and wrong. Listening to his obvious ridicule and sarcasm, he couldn't help but be angry, and he opened his mouth to ridicule each other. Suddenly interrupted by a clear cough, I saw that the servant sent by the emperor stood up at some point, greeted everyone with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Regarding the matter of Li Gongzi's compensation, Your Majesty has already explained, and Wei Lu Shi just spoke." No matter how much, it will come out of the inner library! ”

"How can it be!" Lin Yushi took the case, and pointed angrily at the inner servant with a gloomy face: "Bending the law for personal gain is just like that, what is the reason why Your Majesty is so biased!" ”

All the officials at the hearing stood up. Li Tai and others behind the screen also stood up. The chamberlain still looked at the officials with a smile, although he was a little flustered in his heart, but when he remembered the emperor's instructions when he explained himself, his courage regained a little: "Your Majesty has something to say...... Li Luoyun's parents are kind to the country. If the royal family owes his family, he should repay one or two. ”

There was silence in the lobby for a while, and everyone was savoring the meaning of the sentence. Only Li Zhenan suddenly remembered something when he heard this, turned his head to look at Miao Zhengze, and asked with a big grin: "Master Miao, speaking of which, doesn't the imperial court still owe my Li family a hundred stone of grain?" Shall we use that fine? ”

Everyone: "......"
