Chapter XVI Examination
"I've seen almost all the people in the village, but I haven't leaked my whereabouts so far, so do you mean that those people don't know me?" Dongfang Yanhe boldly guessed.
Red Shao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that these people only know the ...... on your chest?" After speaking, his eyes also moved to Dongfang Yanhe's chest.
Dongfang Yanhe also looked down at his chest, and then smiled slightly, "Fortunately, there are your herbs to help cover it up, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been discovered a long time ago." ”
Hong Shao smiled proudly, "That is, this herb can not only help you cover up the mark, but also give you a fragrance on your body, I think Sister Chu Liang is attracted by this fragrance." ”
Hong Shao covered his mouth and smiled after speaking.
Dongfang Yanhe glanced at her, and then said, "If you want to inspect the people, what other places have encountered natural disasters, have you forgotten?" ”
Hongshao hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, I have seen it carefully all the way, there are natural disasters of varying degrees all over the country, there are many displaced people, and the people are also complaining." ”
Dongfang Yanhe's eyes were gloomy, "Didn't the imperial court allocate disaster relief funds?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be yet, I heard that the treasury has no money, and the emperor is struggling with this matter." Hongshao pouted, "Lord, the emperor doesn't want you anymore, why are you still worrying so much about the affairs of the court?" ”
"He was only deceived by superficial phenomena, and this king believes that he will understand it." Dongfang Yanhe looked at the sun gradually setting in the west, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
……
After nightfall, Dongfang Yanhe and Hongshao came to the yamen by the faint moonlight.
At this time, it was already the dead of night, and I didn't expect that Wu Bing, the county magistrate of Yamen, was actually trying the case in the open court, and the people who were arrested and knelt on the ground turned out to be Ye Chuliang and Sikong Yu.
Hongshao was a little anxious, and when he saw this situation, he wanted to immediately climb down the wall to save people, but he was pulled by Dongfang Yanhe.
Wu Bing knocked on the shocking wood heavily, and then exclaimed, "Say, how did you plot to steal the Ma family's antiques?" ”
Sikong Yu wanted to stand up, but he was arrested and held tightly to his body, his face was full of confusion, "My lord, I am wronged, the grass people are a showman, they know that they are polite, righteous and shameful, how can they do such a thing that ruins their reputation and insults their reputation." ”
"Hmph, knowing that he is a showman, he would do such an insulting thing, come on, first give this official ten kills to let him remember it for a long time." Wu Bing knocked on the startling wood again and said viciously.
"Yes......" the catcher shouted quickly, and then took the stout long stick in understanding.
Seeing that Sikong Yu was about to faint in fright, Ye Chuliang finally had a deep understanding of the useless scholar's words.
She shouted loudly: "Slow, you are the county master, how can there be a reason to use torture without asking about the case, even if you have evidence to prove that he is a thief, you have to give him a chance to defend himself, right?" ”
"Defense?" Wu Bing glanced at Ye Chuliang, "The evidence is conclusive, why use him to defend him, as long as he signs and draws the charge, everything will be fine, and we can all sleep peacefully tonight." ”
Wu Bing rolled his eyes and looked very much like the nine-grade sesame official with a black gauze hat in the previous Guoman.
Ye Chuliang smiled, "Since you said that the evidence is conclusive, then we can always ask to see this evidence, otherwise it seems a bit too childish to make him admit this crime based on your words alone." ”
"Hmph, who wants to see the evidence?" Before Wu Bing could speak, a familiar person came out from behind the screen of the yamen - Lu Jiashi.
I saw a look of disdain on her face, and when she looked at people, she always seemed to have no focus.
Lu Jia walked up to Ye Chuliang and the others, looked at them twice, raised his head and said, "Hmph, ignorant villain. ”
Ye Chuliang suppressed the anger that wanted to explode in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Since Mrs. Lu knows everything, can I trouble you to tell me what things he stole from your Ma family?" ”
Lu Jiashi looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said with his fingers: "The vase of the big celadon, the pilgrimage of a hundred birds, the kang table of the pineapple flower, and the most valuable ones are the two big dark red walnuts left by the wife and master of our Ma family." ”
Ye Chu said with a cold smile: "Mrs. Lu, you said that he stole the big walnut left by your wife, and I believe him when he stole the pilgrimage map of the hundred birds, but you said that he stole the kang table and vase, I think you probably misunderstood his physical fitness." ”
"What do you mean?" Lu Jiashi glared, "You think I wronged him?" ”
"If you look at his body, I think I'll faint at any moment if I take two more steps, do you think he stole those things?" After Ye Chuliang finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Jia.
Ye Wanwan, who was still hiding behind the screen, was obviously a little impatient, she walked out quickly, stood behind Lu Jiashi and whispered: "Mother, don't listen to her instigation, this man is conspiring with her to steal our things, I think those things must still be on the mountain, as long as you let the Yamen catch them and search the mountain quickly, you will understand everything?" ”
Ye Wanwan's words made the fire in Ye Chuliang's heart erupt irrepressibly, she pushed away and pressed her own catcher, and quickly stood up, "Ye Wanwan, what do you want, I'm already away from you, you still don't give up, what, do you want to ask for credit in front of your mother-in-law?" Don't you want to see if she's useful? ”
Ye Wanwan's face was pale, she glared at Ye Chuliang angrily, wanting to refute something, but looking at Lu Jia's back, she still swallowed the next words deeply.
Lu Jiashi glanced at Ye Wanwan from the corner of his eye, presumably the fact that Wen Po said that she was not a virgin was still in her throat, although it was later clarified, but this thorn is afraid that it will be stuck in her heart for the rest of her life.
"You don't embarrass me here, peace, hurry up and invite the young grandmother back, her daughter-in-law of a big family has not been through the door for a year, how can she leave her husband and be alone in such darkness?" Lu Jiashi said the word "please" very seriously, as if to remind Ye Wanwan that his patience was almost at the limit.
After Ye Duwan left, Wu Bing walked down the desk in a hurry, he followed behind Lu Jiashi with a flattering face, bowed his head and bent down and said: "Madam, please rest assured, their lair, this official has already sent someone to search for it, I believe that it will not be long before good news comes." ”
At this time, what flashed in Ye Chuliang's mind was the situation where the fool was arrested and thrown on the mountain at will, her heart couldn't help but chuckle, and her blocked breath almost didn't catch it.
"Lord, they are colluding with officials and businessmen." Red Shoe angrily expressed his displeasure.
