190 court trials
I listened to it and said it, but I was also curious, so I stared at him and asked, "How do you know this?" ”
Zai Yan couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and shook his head with a smile, "Most of the people in the Qing Dynasty are like this. ”
I laughed "oh" too.
After a while, he looked at me with a smile and asked, "What?" Before Zhen'er entered the palace, she had never seen the court trial outside? ”
I smiled faintly and said, "What's so nice to put my own happiness on top of the pain of others, I'm not as boring as these people!" ”
He looked at me and nodded, "Yes, Zhen'er grew up in Guangzhou since she was a child, she has seen the world, and her life is unrestrained, and her vision will not be the same as these little people." ”
I tilted my head, pursed my lips lightly, and said, "I was young at that time, so I didn't know any of this, I just knew how to play." ”
He looked at me and said, "It's the Forbidden City that is forcing you to grow, if the world can start all over again, I won't be so selfish, I hope Zhen'er has never entered the Forbidden City, so that Zhen'er will always be as happy as before." ”
I hurriedly said, "How can a person never grow up like when he was a child," and I continued with a light look at him, "Zaiyan, now I am also very happy." ”
He asked, "Happy to flee?" ”
I laughed "hmm".
He asked, "Do you regret it?" ”
I asked rhetorically, "What do you regret?" ”
He replied: "I regret entering the Forbidden City." ”
I shook my head and said, "I really don't want to enter the Forbidden City, I have always been unwilling, and I don't rarely be a concubine, I have never cared about the things in the name, but I have never regretted it until now," I said, I saw Zai Yan's eyes soften, but there were still a few doubts in it, and I said, "Because God let me meet you in the Forbidden City." ”
He said, "But I haven't been able to give you a stable home until now." ”
I smiled and shook my head, "With you, with me, it's home." ”
Suddenly, the light in his eyes was like a spring sun, bright and brilliant, filled with warm temperature, he reached out and grabbed my ten fingers, clasped tightly, and intertwined one by one, "This is called a concentric knot, only with the person in the heart can be shaken, it is said that a lover can be happy for a lifetime if he holds it like this," I couldn't help but smile lightly when I heard it, and I only felt that there were many ancient people who said a lot, but most of them were not necessarily accurate, and then he said to me, "Since God has deliberately arranged it, we can't bear this one." In this life, Zhen'er and I will be inseparable from life and death. ”
Life...... Life and death are inseparable......
I smiled and asked him, "What if there is an afterlife?" ”
Without thinking, he said with a faint smile on his face, "It should be the same." ”
Although Zai Xiang's words made me feel sweet in my heart, but after a while, I came back to my senses, and the only remaining reason told me that this was not a good time to fall in love with the two of them, so I lowered my eyes, wanting to pull the distant words back to the topic, and frowned: "But what's the use of going to the court to hear the trial?" As he spoke, I immediately raised my eyes slightly and stared at Zaiyan, "I can't save Xiao Kunzi from fire and water at all." ”
Zai Yan must have understood, so he gathered the look of genius on his face, and then shook his head lightly and said, "At least, we can prescribe the right medicine when we come back." ”
I couldn't help but sigh deeply, looked at Zai Yan, and said in a low voice: "You said this lightly, you just said, if the government can't try something, it won't let Xiao Kunzi go easily, if you don't want to get some punishment, you can't do it, but Xiao Kunzi will definitely not confess to us," I was only halfway through the words, and I sighed lightly from my chest, and after a while, I continued, "Besides, I have tasted this Manchu torture in the past, if the government is determined to deal with it strictly, It's hard to say whether Xiao Kunzi can survive the court trial! Not to mention anything else? ”
As I was talking, there was a knock on the door of the house, and I hurriedly signaled for Zai to be silenced, and I got up and walked to the door and whispered, "Who is it?" ”
"It's the little one who came to serve hot tea to the lord and the lady!" Qiankun Audiobook.com
Listening to the voice, it was probably the cousin of this inn, I turned around to look at Zai Xiang, and saw that Zai Yan took a deep breath, and after nodding his head slightly, I opened the door and said with a smile: "It's no tea, you remember!" ”
The cousin said with a smile: "If you have hot water, you can't send it to the master and Mrs. quickly, otherwise I'm sorry for the four ingots of silver you gave, right?" ”
I gave way, "We don't have to be so thoughtful all the time, we're embarrassed." ”
The cousin came in and added tea, and said, "There is a small sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Zai Yan looked at him and said, "You just say it." ”
The cousin swallowed his saliva, looked at Zai Yan and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what happened to the little domestic servant who followed the master and his wife, how did he get arrested by the people of the government?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zai Yan and I couldn't help but look at each other.
Zai Yan got up and said, "What?!" ”
The cousin was taken aback when he saw Zaiyan's reaction.
Then, the cousin glared and asked, "I don't know yet?" ”
I hurriedly asked, "Isn't he in the backyard looking for the carriage?" ”
The cousin clapped his hands and said with regret on his face: "What carriage! He was taken away by the people of the government a long time ago! ”
I feigned surprise and asked, "Where did you take it?" ”
The cousin raised his hand and pointed to the east: "Of course it's the official prison!" ”
Zai Yan grabbed the cousin's sleeve and asked, "What did he do?" ”
The cousin frowned, "Xiao Yuan still wants to ask the master and Mrs. what they say?" ”
Zai Yan's face was not more anxious than usual, "What the hell is going on?" ”
I pretended to pace around the house, and after a while, I deliberately said, "If you don't learn well at a young age, you must be stealing chickens and dogs!" ”
Seeing this, the cousin hurriedly reassured: "Master and Mrs. don't need to be too anxious, I heard that the son is going to be judged, and the master and Mrs. can go and see what is going on." ”
Zai Yan hurriedly asked, "When will Ming'er Hall be tried?" ”
The cousin thought for a moment and said, "It's about the hour." ”
I couldn't sleep all night, and finally the next day, the morning light slowly opened, and the eastern horizon shone with a ray of light, which was carefully soaking the light blue sky, and the moist wind gently swept my cheeks, and the broken hair was originally shallowly hooked behind the ears, but it was only a stroke to be sparsely scattered. Zai Xiang led me into the crowd crowded in layers to watch the excitement, it was already three o'clock, the court trial was about to begin, the prefect of the government and the county also dressed up and sat in the hall, and then slapped the shocking wood in his hand, and the officials followed the sound and stomped a few times on the big wooden board in their hands, and for a moment, everyone stopped.
The magistrate said slowly: "Bring people up!" ”
I was stretching my neck and looking straight into the hall, "I don't know how Xiao Kunzi lived last night." ”
Zai Yan said: "It shouldn't be enough to be tortured on the first night!" ”
