Chapter 56: Return to Pengcheng
At the end of the nineteenth year of the establishment of the Beiming Army, the sensational patriotic general Fu Yannian attacked the Jeju turtle ship Shen Yun'er and its deployment in order to defend the waters of Beiming, resulting in the rumors of the annihilation of his entire army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 All the persons involved in the case appeared in Pengcheng for trial, and the trial files were published in various countries.
Returning from the summer of the year-round scorching heat, the winter in Pengcheng was cold and frosty, freezing so cold that the dog shrunk his neck and snorted, but the injury on his hand was much better in such weather, and it was also very fast.
"It's still Pengcheng suitable for living, and Xia Mi has made people hot out of prickly heat." Qin Qiong looked up at the corners of the various tables and chairs while dipping a small silver spoon in gilt powder and helping Qin Qing's two close-fitting big girls to draw up the crochet flowers on the corners of the various tables and chairs. Qin Qing, who has been pregnant for five months, is quite blessed, and is very tightly wrapped today: he is wearing a mink head face, a big black and gray rabbit velvet lining, a wind-haired gown with wind hair outside, and a purple cloud Chengxiang gold lining, a big red gorilla felt Zhaojun set on his head, and a big mink wind collar, sitting straight next to the plum blossom-style lacquer table near the window. Xu is because he wears a lot, and he is holding a charcoal fire indoors, Qin Qing's face is puffy and can puff out the water, and it is cute. Opposite her, she also sat on the opposite brocade mattress around a few people, one of whom was our sister-in-law, Qin Qiong's wife, holding a new-style inner-made beaded hairpin on the round bun, with a long face, looking forward to Shenfei, two crescent-like eyes full of a gentle look, wearing a narrow small sleeve with a lotus green bucket pattern to cover the silver mouse short jacket, and a stone blue carved silk silver mouse hexagram that seemed to be a yard larger, and below was an embroidered goldfinch Doro's cardigan cotton skirt, without any jade silk ornaments. Only with Qin Qing and the others, he fiddled with scissors and axes and chiseled a pot of potted plants that looked strange and jagged. There is the fragrance of plum blossoms in the furnace of King Wen Dingxu on the several.
Qin Qing seemed to be too hot, and he was about to take off his coat, but he was persuaded by Mi's gentle words, "The weather is in winter, and it has never snowed, but because of the humid climate in Beiming, it is becoming more and more frosty, and now that you have a body, you have to pay more attention to yourself." Besides, the lawsuit here will have some twists and turns, and you will have a lot of tedious things, so you should take care of yourself and be careful when you are sick. ”
Qin Qing was a little impatient to pull the big mink wind collar loose, and then looked at the right hand that was playing the abacus with a good hand on the northeast table, and looked at the account book, and looked at me who was smiling at them from time to time, and only said, "There are Jinping horizontally and vertically, Cuimo helps Fu Yannian to take care of the preparations for the new year, I am happy to be idle, and I also ask this uncle who can provoke three troubles to see his lawsuit, my brother and sister-in-law and I just want to move him out of prison and suffer less, how much money has been spent, how many doors have been walked, and how many faces have been seen." What's more, he is called the shopkeeper to look at the daily household expenses, maybe not? It's not easy for him to know me. ”
When I saw my sister-in-law talking to her about dressing, she couldn't help but smile, raised her head to meet her gaze and said, "Yes, it's not easy for the lady to run around for me, and now I have to take our children to run around for me, Zhang Luo inside and outside, I will have to change my mind and be a new person in the future-" said, making a look of sadness. Jinping and Cuimo over there couldn't help laughing.
Only Qin Qiong raised her head, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with her cuffs that were a little rubbed with gilt powder, and looked at Qin Qing again, with some reprimand but also with concern, Wen Yan said, "There are more and more rules, what is the number of people before and after, you see that your sister-in-law has been married to me for many years, how many times has my brother taught you how many times to make a living, husband and wife should respect each other, and give more face to many parties." ”
Qin Qing replied and muttered, "I dare to save face for him, then **** to see Sheng Zheng, the sister of the Sheng family and I learned, Sheng Zheng couldn't persuade him, he insisted on taking this matter, other generals know their duties when they see irrelevant foreign affairs, only this man in my family is like a child, always relying on his enthusiasm to do things, and the whole family will clean up the mess for him, now that there is a small family, how can I not be annoyed?" As he spoke, a lot of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Seeing this, the Mi clan was busy comforting both sides, and while taking out a green handkerchief for Qin Qing to wipe his sweat, he looked at Qin Qiong and me with a half-anger and half-smile and said, "Qing'er's thoughts, you men don't understand. If it weren't for me, a woman, who had no power to restrain the chicken, and who had no ability to stand on his own, and who couldn't stand on his own, I would have to endure the absurd self-deeds of your men. I'll also tell you today, Yannian, do you know that your brother Qin Qiong has been married to me for three years, how many days will he be at home? Even the children in the family were unfamiliar when they saw him. Even in the past few days, there are always some reasons, and sometimes I feel that it is better than not seeing. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Qiong's face turned red with shame, but Jinping was a clever man, and stepped forward and said, "General Qin, don't describe it, Cuimo and I will come, you wash first, sit and eat tea." Then he called the little girl to bring water to wash him, and the little girl brought tea. Qin Qiong washed his face, but said to me, "Huang Chun's side has been arranged, it just so happened that at this time, a messenger came from Luo Wei's side, saying that it was to negotiate peace, and the lord General Prince Ning was also recalled for the wedding, you only arrived on the day of the trial, according to Huang Chun's arrangement, you wrote that private confession very well, specific and detailed, Huang Chun went to ask Fu Xianggong, and it has been sent directly to Emperor Xinyue in a few days together with a piece of evidence." ”
I listened and said yes again and again. He continued to calculate. But he heard Mi's voice and asked, "Speaking of which, how could the fire monkey of the Wu Xize family suddenly bite you?" We are in the business of animals and horses, and I have heard that this fire monkey, like horses and dogs, is a psychic and human being, but I don't know what method you used to let it go crazy and bite you, so that you can recuperate outside in the name of illness? ”
Without waiting for me to answer, Qin Qiong grabbed the tea bowl in one hand, walked to the big kang where Qin Qing and Mi's were in three steps and did two steps, rubbed Mi's side and sat down, and raised his hand to hug Mi's waist, and said with an intimate look, "No matter how psychic it is, it's just a brute, if a person wants to let a brute follow the rules, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of control skills, but if you want a brute to bite someone, there are many ways." ”
Unexpectedly, the Mu clan didn't care, just turned around and gently took Qin Qiong's empty tea bowl, pursed his lips and pulled away his hand that was entangled in her waist, and said with a faint smile, "Everything has a spirit, and people are just one of the beasts, why bother to belittle that beast, if you want a person to be a good person and do good deeds, it is necessary to go through rational education, self-cultivation, and legal constraints, but if you want a person to be evil and degenerate, you don't need so many methods." ”
……
A few days before the trial, Prince Ning got married, but I didn't have time to go, just sealed a gift, Qin Qing deliberately added a New Year's gift to the young son of Prince Ning's side room, that's it, after all, the lawsuit is still pending, everyone is not very happy, although I tried my best to soothe and laugh, Qin Qing was not very happy, but no longer complained to me, only sharpened a Luo Wei bamboo sword, according to the Luo Wei Kendo booklet to practice some stabbing techniques, did not regard himself as a person with a body, so that the Mi family who came to take care of her persuaded and persuaded her, and finally had to give up.
……
On the morning of the day of the trial, the sky was not yet bright, and a very inconspicuous tarpaulin mule cart came to the southwest corner door of the backyard of Fuzhong to pick me up, and after getting into the car, I saw Sheng Zheng already sitting on the inside, and when I opened the curtain and went in, the car slowly moved until the back door of Beiming Law Prison, I and Sheng Zheng were both jailer uniforms, took the token and the jailer at the door, and the jailer would take us to a duty room, which had already prepared prison clothes and shackles, and we had changed them separately, and the foreman's Hefa jailer had seen it, I slapped a lot of dust on my two faces, and the bun on my head and the dust were all the way to the mess, and I was afraid that it would not be effective enough, and the mud beat our clothes into a mess. After a few turns and looked at us, let another team of standard jailers have new uniforms, and the sabers and golden armor are shining brightly The jailers took us out of the gate, and there were already heavy wooden prisoner carts waiting for us in front of the gate, and we each got into one, and finally the jailers pulled them one by one to the wide, drove the mule, and then went out of the alley, through the street, and greeted the crowds on both sides that had gradually gathered to watch the lively crowd all the way east to the Haiquan Division of the Pengcheng Legal Affairs Department.
In front of the forensic interrogation department of the Sea Power Division, there are two stone-carved dragons on the battle flags of the loyal and unswerving sailors of Beiming, which are located at the black gate on all sides, and the sixteen armored guards in front of the door are divided into four shifts, all standing solemnly outside the door. After we got out of the prisoner's car, he led us to the door, followed the superhand verandah through the three duty rooms, went around to the main hall compound, and waited in the corner room on one side to await trial.
After a while, the noise outside the door gradually, all kinds of people and others also arrived in the division one by one, for a while the greeting realm was full of traffic, and it was only after lunch that it gradually became silent, and after a short time, Sheng Zheng and I were introduced into the interrogation hall of the main hall of the division, and stood opposite Shen Yun'er and others. In front of the hall, a large black lacquered gold plaque is Yue Wumu's rubbing and re-plastic gold words "Jing Zhong Serve the Country", below is a huge long scroll of ink and wash on a sea sail, in front of which there are three bluestone long tables and benches on the east and west and north sides, Beiming chief judge Heng Siqi is in the center, and the interrogators of Xinyue and Jeju are seated on both sides. After the three golden bells rang, Heng Siqi read aloud the edict of Juncheng above the Lord, and after saluting to the east, he told him to start the inquiry.
The people standing on both sides beat the drum outside, and invited the representatives of the people of various countries to sit down and watch the trial.
The first to be questioned was Shen Yun'er, Heng Siqi teased his Beiming Sanpin civil official service, the blue ink robe sleeves waved everywhere, and the personal scribe next to him began to prepare to narrate the languages of both sides, and the scribe on the desk behind him also began to grind and record the book.
I saw Heng Siqi open a table of books, and stroked his long hair and said, "General Shen Yun'er, is it?" ”
The interpreter behind him hurriedly translated this sentence to the people in the hall.
"Yes." Shen Yun'er had a pair of red eyes, stood with her feet open, and replied calmly. The transfer officer translated it again. "You said that on the 15th of last month, the Fengliu Strait in the Xiami Sea of Beiming was suddenly besieged and attacked by the sailors and soldiers led by General Fu Yannian and Sheng Zheng, resulting in the loss of ten turtle ships, right?"
"Yes."
"Then the official asks you, since you know that this is the Beiming Sea, why did you bring so many warships without a letter of state? And why are you here? Heng Siqi still shook his head like a Confucian old man, and said slowly.
"Because I didn't intend to trap and hold hostage here for Luo Wei, I escaped by luck, so I sent the legend of the flying pigeon and Jeju to ask for help, because the matter was urgent, the time was urgent, so I came first, I thought that after going back, I would send a letter of apology again, but I didn't expect to meet the sailors of Fu Yannian and General Sheng Zheng on the return trip, and were attacked and hit hard by the enemy."
Shen Yun'er's face was extremely sincere and indignant, and the envoys of Jeju were also impassioned as if this was the case. "Shameless." Sheng Zheng beside him whispered.
"Then the official asks you again, where did you say that Luo Wei was entrapped here? Is there any evidence to prove that you didn't make it up? ”
"It's the prison of Luo Wei on Ryu Island," Shen Yun'er rolled her eyes slightly, and said, "There are several generals from Xinyue and Beiming who are also imprisoned here with me. General Ji Xisheng can prove it. ”
"Oh?" Heng Siqi looked at him and asked, "Then where is the Luo Wei Prison on Liudao, please mark it carefully on the map for the general." With a wave of his hand, a clerk held a rectangular black lacquer tray with a chart on it. And one cinnabar color pigment and two lake pens, and one ink inkstone has already ooped ink color.
