Chapter 201: The New Master Joe
Although he was under house arrest and his hands and feet were locked, I don't know if it was because of the silver or something else, he didn't snub him at the food and lodging station.
Master Qiao threw the chopsticks on the table with a blue face: "What to eat, it's not me." ”
The scribe who recorded the confession in Dali Temple only raised his eyes lazily when he heard this: "Master Qiao, no matter how angry you are here, it's useless, the tribute is stolen, and the fire you send hundreds and thousands is worthy of Your Majesty's question?" ”
"You have no evidence that this matter has anything to do with me, and it is ridiculous to say that I have something to do with this matter just because of my quarrel with the steward of the Splendid Village!" Master Qiao said angrily.
The scribe flipped through the confession in his hand and recorded: "There is no evidence that you Qiao Zhengyuan has nothing to do with this matter, as for the steward of Jinxiuzhuang, you can rest assured, my Dali Temple has never been biased in handling cases, so he was also locked up." ”
One is suspected of "deliberate revenge", and the other is suspected of "guarding and stealing", and the only people who can be caught at the moment are these two people. As for the stolen embroidery, it is strange that all the goods in the caravan have been rummaged through, but nothing has been found.
"What if you can't find it? Are you going to take me to Dali Temple to torture me to extract a confession? Qiao Zhengyuan shouted with a blue face, "And then bend into a move?" Is this how you Master Di handle the case? ”
Qiao Zhengyuan was not familiar with the officials in the capital, and he was imprisoned for a few days, but he vaguely knew that it was Master Di of Dali Temple who took over the case, but that Lord Di had not even appeared since he took over, and the only one who appeared in front of him was this scribe.
It seems that it is an inactive Dali temple. Qiao Zhengyuan has a lot of complaints, if it is next to him, it is okay if Master Di does not act, but now it is related to himself, if he does not act, if he continues like this, he will suffer.
"Master Di?" The scribe who recorded it suddenly repeated the "Master Di" in his words, and then said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot to say, this case is handed over to Lord Qiao, who has just entered Dali Temple, and Lord Qiao will arrive in Beijing today, I think you will see this Lord Qiao soon." ”
"Lord Joe?" Qiao Zhengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe it was my family five hundred years ago, and I don't know what Lord Qiao and his old man liked." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the steward beside him, who was busy getting ready. Money is such a thing, Lord Qiao, his old man should also like it!
The scribe just glanced at him lazily, and then said, "Master Di said that this Lord Qiao has some skills, if you have any grievances, just say to her!" ”
Qiao Zhengyuan said happily: "It's easy to say." ”
No matter what, this Lord Qiao, who will meet him as soon as he comes, is better than the Lord Di who never shows up!
……
Di Fangxing didn't say anything to Zhen Shiyuan for long, handed over the official errand he brought to her, and said, "You will wait for Lord Qiao's dispatch" and then left in his soft sedan chair.
After Di Fang walked, Zhen Shiyuan also walked over and said, "I want to go to the city to settle my family and hand over the affairs with Master Di by the way, and I will hand it over to you first." ”
Give it to her? Qiao Ran raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhen Shiyuan.
Zhen Shiyuan also seemed to be a little weak-hearted, coughed dryly, and said: "I left Tang Zhongyuan to you, if there is anything you want him to do, just tell him, and then come to look for you after I settle it there and hand over to Master Di." ”
Tang Zhongyuan was already unfazed when he listened from the sidelines: in a few months, he gradually got used to being "invited" by Miss Qiao to do things.
"Lord Zhen," Qiao Ran couldn't help but speak, pointing to Hongdou, Qiao Shu and Pei Qingqing behind him, and said, "You want to settle your family, what about me?" ”
Who doesn't have a family? She also has a family, okay?
"There are only a few people in your family, and you don't need such a big house." Zhen Shiyuan looked at her and said, "I'll go into the city first to find a more reliable Chinese person for you, when you first arrive in Chang'an, everything is tight, it's better for you to save some flowers." ”
It's really reasonable, but it's also true. When she first arrived in Chang'an, she was unfamiliar with the place, and Da Chu did not give officials a house, so this residence was a huge problem.
Seeing off Zhen Shiyuan, Qiao Ran glanced at the group of expressionless officials behind her, supported her forehead with a headache, and then turned her head and said to Hongdou and the others who followed her inch: "You guys wait outside for the time being, at the moment, all the 'suspects' left in this Shili Pavilion Post Station are 'suspects' who steal tribute, so I won't take you in." ”
Hongdou and Qiao Shu are naturally easy to say, Pei Qingqing, who had to stick to her in everything in the past, was also unexpectedly good to talk today, and obediently sat back in the carriage and waited, looking like she had her tail shrunk.
Leaving the people in the carriage, and finding the post minister at the post station to explain, Qiao Ran took Tang Zhongyuan and the team of officials into the post station.
……
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and the irritable Master Qiao lost the chopsticks in his hand and snorted coldly: "Why haven't you come yet?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw the scribe who had just left going and returning, grabbed the confession record that had been thrown here, and faced the direction of the door, straightened his robe, and leaned over and bowed his head.
In this way, it looks like someone is going to be greeted.
Master Qiao's eyes lit up and he came back to his senses: "Could it be that Lord Qiao and his old man are here?" ”
The scribe hurriedly replied, "I have already walked to the atrium, and I will be here soon." ”
I'm finally going to see that Mistress Joe. Master Qiao was excited, and quickly stood up, walked to the door, followed his example, straightened his robe, and leaned down to bow his head.
With the exclamations of the post ministers "Lord Qiao" and "Lord Qiao", the noise became closer and closer, I don't know if it was because of this action of leaning over to salute, Master Qiao was inexplicably nervous, and then listened to the scribe next to him.
"I've seen Mistress Joe."
Master Qiao hurriedly shouted, "I've seen Master Qiao."
The sound of the salute did not sound for a long time, Master Qiao couldn't help but secretly look forward, and then saw a pair of embroidered shoes, the embroidered shoes were not spotless, obviously they rushed all the way to get here, the embroidered shoes were blue skirts, Master Qiao felt strange, could it be that this so-called Lord Qiao is a female official?
He is also a person who has been to Chang'an, and knows that eighty percent of the female officials in the entire Dachu are in Chang'an City, and it is not a strange thing to see female officials in Chang'an City, but is the one sent by Dali Temple also a female official?
Master Qiao became more and more curious, and his gaze gradually moved up, and then he saw a goose-yellow coat on the skirt, and above it was a familiar face that could not be more familiar.
"How are you?" Master Qiao couldn't hold back any longer, and pointed at the man in disbelief, "Why are you here?" ”
It was a face he knew all too well. In order to avoid this face, he handed over the affairs of Jinling to Qiao Mo's stupid boy to take care of, and came to Chang'an by himself, at that time, he thought that Jinling would not see her again, and it was only less than a month of hard work, and this face actually appeared in front of him again.
"Qiao Zhengyuan, don't be presumptuous." She didn't say anything yet, but the scribe on the side had already opened her mouth and scolded, "This is my new female official in Dali Temple, Lord Qiao." ”
I'll go! She's that Joe-sama! Master Qiao's face suddenly fell.
