Chapter 83: Speechless
"Wanrou, open the door, Wanrou......"
In a daze, Li Yuntian was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and slowly opened his sleepy eyes, he felt groggy and a little uncomfortable in his head. It is recommended to read novels and read books quickly
"Ning'er, what kind of place is this?" Soon, Li Yuntian realized that something was wrong in the house, it seemed to be a strange room, so he asked the woman who was asleep in his arms with some confusion.
Although the woman's cheeks were covered by the long hair scattered on her face, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, in Li Yuntian's memory, he should be in Baishui Town now, and the only one who could sleep with him in Baishui Town was Chen Ningning.
At the same time, Li Yuntian also heard the shouts of the knocker clearly, and felt very unfamiliar with the name "Wanyi".
Just when he was confused, the woman in his arms moved, raised her head, and was a delicate melon seed face, with red lips and white teeth, a cherry mouth and a nose, willow eyebrows and curved eyebrows, eyes like water, ruddy cheeks, and extremely shy, she was Zheng Gui's eldest daughter Zheng Wanrou.
"You...... Who are you? How could it be on my **? Li Yuntian was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then let go of Zheng Wanrou, sat up suddenly, and looked at her with a shocked expression.
Bang, as soon as his words fell, the door was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in, and Zheng Wanrou hurriedly hid in the brocade quilt.
"You...... You two did a great job! Looking at Li Yuntian, who was shirtless on the **, the group of people who came in couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Zheng Gui, who was standing in front of the crowd, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yuntian and Zheng Wanrou who hid in the brocade quilt, his face turned pale with anger and trembled.
Facing Zheng Gui's accusation, Li Yuntian's mind buzzed and became blank, he knew that he had been calculated, and now he was caught and raped, it seemed that it was difficult to get out of it this time.
Luo Ming stood beside Zheng Gui, his eyes were full of surprise, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Let them get dressed first." The atmosphere in the room was extremely dull and depressing, so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard, and in the silence, a clan elder broke the calm of the scene and opened his mouth to persuade Zheng Gui.
The corners of Zheng Gui's mouth trembled, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and walked away with a pale face, if Li Yuntian was not the magistrate of Hukou County, he would have asked the servants to arrest Li Yuntian and beat him violently.
The clan elder who spoke glanced at Li Yuntian helplessly, beckoned the people in the house to leave, closed the door with his hand, and waited in the courtyard outside the door.
"Say, who are you, and why are you framing me?" After the door was closed, Li Yuntian came back to his senses, lifted the quilt covering Zheng Wanrou's body, and asked angrily.
Then he realized a problem, neither of them was wearing clothes, and as soon as he lifted it like this, Zheng Wanrou's body was presented in front of his eyes at a glance, with white flowers.
At the same time, the eye-catching red on the ** list also reflected in his eyes, making him slightly stunned and slightly distracted.
Zheng Wanrou curled up there with her hands on her chest, buried her head in her chest, her body trembled slightly, and did not answer Li Yuntian's question.
"!" Li Yuntian reacted quickly, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, reached out to cover Zheng Wanrou with the brocade quilt, jumped down to find the clothes scattered on the ground, and thought about how to deal with it while wearing it.
At this moment, Li Yuntian can be sure that he was cheated by Zheng Gui, no wonder he was confused yesterday without drinking much wine, and Yankuai was drugged by Zheng Gui in the wine.
He is very strange, he and Zheng Gui have never known each other in their lives, they have no hatred in the past, and they have no enmity recently, why did Zheng Gui do this? Could it be that he had an affair with Zhang Youde or Wang San and others, and wanted to avenge them?
In addition, Li Yuntian really couldn't think of the reason why Zheng Gui did this.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if the adulterer is unmarried, then both men and women will have eighty rods, and if the woman is married, then both men and women will have ninety rods.
In addition, there is also a crime of "rape", that is, the **** of later generations, and a hundred rods.
As for the **, the adult man will be sentenced to hanging, the minor man will be sentenced to 100 rods and 3,000 li, and the woman is not guilty because she is the victim.
Li Yuntian is not worried that he will be executed for the crime of **, he is from the two ranks of Jinshi, belongs to the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and like the officials from Gongsheng, he is usually commuted after committing a crime.
As long as the crimes committed by those officials from Jinshi and Gongsheng were not angry and resentful, after reporting to the emperor, the emperor would generally treat them with a tolerant heart and allow them to be commuted.
In other words, Li Yuntian will not be sentenced to hanging, or being hanged, or exiled, or dismissed from office.
It is worth mentioning that in the early Ming Dynasty, there was the practice of "atonement and return to office", which means that those officials who committed crimes could continue to be officials after serving their sentences, so he had great hope of continuing to stay in officialdom.
What's more, for officials from Jinshi or Gongsheng, the Ming Dynasty also has the special situation of "returning to duty with a crime": those officials who have committed capital crimes or prison crimes, if the emperor is in a good mood, he can not kill them, let them continue to be officials on the charge, and wait until the next crime to settle accounts together.
Therefore, Li Yuntian was not worried that he would be executed for this matter, but he could not deduce Zheng Gui's intention to do so.
If it's adultery, it's easier to say, and then you don't even need to hit the board, and you can be reprimanded by your boss, but if it's **, then he's going to have a lot of headaches.
And whether it is adultery or **, the words that come out are not good, and it will inevitably become a talking point in people's mouths for fun in the future.
Li Yuntian felt that he had grown up this time, and he couldn't have imagined that Zheng Gui would come to such a hand, which made him in an extremely embarrassing situation now.
"Please forgive me, the little woman has a last resort to do this." Just when Li Yuntian was annoyed there, Zheng Wanrou also got down from the **, and said to him with a rosy cheek while looking for clothes, her words were full of apologies.
"Understand, do you know how much trouble you have caused me!" Li Yuntian was immediately annoyed when he heard this, and said to Zheng Wanrou angrily, his eyes were snow-white, and he quickly turned his head, "What do you want?" β
"My lord, as long as you are drunk and don't know anything, you will leave the rest to the little girl." Seeing this, Zheng Wanrou bit her lip and said in a low voice.
Li Yuntian felt a little strange, feeling that Zheng Wanrou seemed to have something unspeakable, but he wanted to know what tricks Zheng Wanrou and Zheng Gui were playing, but Zheng Wanrou was silent, which made him anxious, and there was nothing he could do.
To be honest, Li Yuntian really wanted to ask Zheng Wanrou what her purpose was now, but this was Zheng Zhai, in case Zheng Wanrou called for help, it would only make things worse.
Hurriedly dressed, Li Yuntian opened the door and walked out, there were many people standing in the courtyard outside the door, talking in a whisper, and when they saw him, they suddenly quieted down, and looked at him with a brush.
"I drank too much last night, and I don't know why I'm here." Li Yuntian glanced around at the scene, looked at Zheng Gui quite embarrassedly, and said in a deep voice, "Boss Zheng, the matter has come to this point, the official doesn't want to defend anything, if you agree, the official can take Miss Zheng as a concubine." β
"Concubine?" Zheng Gui suddenly became excited when he heard the romance, pointed at Li Yuntian and reprimanded angrily, "As a dignified magistrate and doing such a shameless deed, the cold window of ten years was really eaten by dogs, although my Zheng family is a small family, I can't tolerate you being so humiliated." β
"Come on, go and report to the government office, and let the prefect severely punish this villain who broke into the back house at night and bullied people's wives and daughters!" As he spoke, Zheng Gui said angrily to the servants on the side.
When a tall domestic servant heard this, he immediately got up and walked outside the courtyard, apparently preparing to report to the government office.
Seeing this, Luo Ming frowned slightly, and waved his hand at the few officials standing at the gate of the courtyard, and those officials blocked the road.
"What, you still want to cover the sky with one hand?" Zheng Gui witnessed the scene in front of him, laughed angrily, and said with a sneer, "I don't believe that there is no royal law in this world!" β
"Boss Zheng, since this official has done it, he will never deny it, and now this official accepting Miss Zheng as a concubine is the best way to solve this matter." Li Yuntian smiled bitterly and said to Zheng Gui, "Boss Zheng has anything to say, as long as the official can do it, he will do it." β
"Do you think Zheng is rare for you to take a concubine!" Zheng Gui sneered when he heard this, "To tell you the truth, Zheng has already made a marriage with the king of Yangzhou Mansion, and he is the main room that Ming Media is marrying!" β
"What do you want?" Li Yuntian's eyes showed a look of helplessness, it seems that Zheng Gui's bureau is quite thorough, so he can be charged with breaking the marriage contract.
"Let a villain like you be severely punished, and return my Zheng family to an innocence." Zheng Gui looked at Li Yuntian with a sneer, turned around and shouted to the servant behind him, "Don't go to the government office to report to the official yet!" β
Several domestic servants in the courtyard suddenly rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and confronted the officials guarding there, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became hot, if it wasn't for those officials who were from the government, then the two sides would definitely fight.
"It's better to ask about the situation first." After several clan elders exchanged for a while, one clan elder stepped forward and said to Zheng Gui, no one wants things to be overcome.
"He ran to the little girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, do you still have to ask about this kind of thing? Do you want the little girl to be humiliated again? You are afraid of his power, but I am not afraid, and I do not believe that there is no reason in the world. Zheng Gui looked at the clan elder angrily, "Fifth uncle, do you want to watch the women of the Zheng family being bullied by others, do you want the face of the Zheng family?" β
When the clan elder heard this, a guilty look suddenly appeared on his face, and he was silent.
To be honest, he has a very good impression of Li Yuntian, even if Li Yuntian bullied Zheng Wanrou, he was drunk and disrespectful, it was best to be private, and it would not be good for everyone if he went to court.
In his opinion, Li Yuntian is a dignified two-rank jinshi, and the official residence is the seventh grade, and the pusher of Yangzhou Mansion is only the seventh grade, and he has formed a family with the pusher, so it is better to marry Zheng Wanrou to Li Yuntian as a concubine.
However, Zheng Gui's interrogation made him speechless, no matter how he said that he was also the patriarch of the Zheng family, and Zheng Wanrou, who had not yet left the cabinet, was a member of the Zheng clan, where was there a reason to turn his elbow outward.
"Come on, rush out for the master, there is something to bear the master." Zheng Gui saw that the old man of the clan was ashamed, sneered, and shouted angrily at the servants at the gate of the courtyard, "This is the Zheng family, and it is not the turn of outsiders to go wild!" "One
