Xiao Wu respectfully stepped forward and saluted Sima coldly: "Master! He called out to Leng Ruyu again, "Third Miss", and then called "Uncle" to Yunzhonglong, but they all called out together. The person next to him didn't have any extra thoughts, but the middle-aged man first smiled and said coldly to Sima: "Brother-in-law, it's just such a trivial matter, and you have to work for your big driver, it's really a shame!" Slightly surprised, he looked at Leng Ruyu, who was already slim and beautiful, and said, "Three girls, they have all grown so big, and they are still married!" Only then did he glance at Yun Zhonglong, although he looked handsome and extraordinary, he didn't see anything remarkable. He heard Xiao Wu call this person "uncle", and saw that the relationship between the two was indeed not ordinarily close, so he naturally thought that this "uncle" was Leng Ruyu's husband.

Leng Ruyu called him quietly and rarely: "Uncle! ”

Sima coldly: "Hmph! He sighed and said, "Let's go with me to the official mansion to figure things out first!" ”

Only then did I find that there were four women who came with me in addition to Leng Ruyu, and their posture was stunning, especially one of them was not only beautiful and beautiful, but also elegant and generous, super earthly, and Lu Mengxue. It's just that at this moment, they all seem to be worried about something, and it is obviously not their own business, and when they hear what Fang Cai Sima said coldly, they can't help but beat a drum in their hearts.

Leng Ruyu saw a big drum at the door, so he took off the mallet and beat it.

The group walked in, only to see that there were more than ten officials inside, standing there on both sides, a man wearing a court official uniform and an ordinary appearance, it was Wu Neng, the official of Chaoge City, who hurriedly sat on the high hall, with a strong resentment on his face, as if he had just done a good deed and was not satisfied. He said very unhappily: "You are waiting to see this official, what is the matter?" ”

A bearded man on the side who looked like a master saw the cycle of going and returning, and shouted: "Bold cycle, why are you again?" ”

The cycle is also very helpless, but now it is not up to him to have the final say, so he has to look at Sima Lengjun.

Sima strode forward coldly and said, "My lord, I just want to figure out one thing when I come here?" ”

Wu Neng sneered and said, "If everyone is like you, if there is something that they don't know and don't understand, and they come to ask this mansion, then won't this mansion never have peace in the future?" ”

At this time, the long-bearded master was more shrewd, and seemed to see that the origin of these people was not simple, so he hurriedly gently pulled the official's official robe, and said carefully beside him: "These people don't seem to be good, I think it's better to be careful." ”

Wu Nengman said disdainfully: "Isn't it just some official eunuchs, who really regard themselves as uncles." ”

Xiao Wuyi heard his wild words, and immediately said dissatisfiedly: "You are so bold, dare to be rude to my master!" ”

Wu Neng was slightly stunned and said, "What master, I am the biggest above the court, who are you?" ”

However, the long-bearded master next to him was clever, and when he heard Xiao Wu say that the person in front of him was the master of his family, he couldn't help but look more and more like Sima Lengjun when he looked at him, and asked carefully: "Excuse me, is your master the current Lord Sima Lengjun?" ”

Xiao Wu asked proudly, "Are there two Sima masters in Weiguo?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the long-bearded master was suddenly shocked, and Wu Neng was even more frightened and fell off the chair. Wiping his cold sweat, he muttered in his mouth: "Lord Sima......" hurriedly ran to Sima Lengjun and begged for mercy: "Lord Sima, the lower officials have no eyes, please also ask your lord to forgive me and others!" What do you want to know, just ask, the lower officials must know everything, and there is no end to it! "Although he is a civil official, and a city official in Chaoge City, Sima Nai is the head of all military attachΓ©s, and he is a powerful figure with heavy troops.

Sima coldly: "Hmph! sighed and said, "Is there an old man surnamed Wei who was arrested here today?" ”

Wu Neng was trying to think about whether there was such a person, so he listened to the long-bearded master and said: "Back to Lord Sima's words, there is indeed such a person." As he spoke, he opened the file and told them the ins and outs of the matter.

According to the above, Uncle Wei was sued here because he committed adultery with someone and intended murder, and the object of his adultery was a concubine in the current cycle. The ugly deeds of the two were caught red-handed by the cycle, and the two intended to kill people, but the victim escaped by chance, so the police reported that the two were arrested in one fell swoop.

Sima Lengjun couldn't see any expression on his face, and said, "What about them now?" ”

Wu Neng saw that Zhou was by Sima Lengjun's side, thinking that the sentence against him was too light, and he was dissatisfied, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Lord Sima, the two prisoners are now locked up in prison, waiting for the execution in the next autumn, if the adults have any opinions, you can make it clear to the lower officials!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the official to escort the two to the court.

After a while, I saw a woman in her thirties and forties, covered in wounds, and her appearance could only be regarded as beautiful.

As soon as he was brought to the lobby, he shouted hoarsely: "I've already recruited everything, why don't you still let me go?" "Everyone only needs to look and hear it to know that something is wrong, and most of them are afraid that it will be tortured.

Ah Xiu was also surprised when he heard them say that his grandfather had committed adultery with the woman in front of him, but when he thought about it left and right, he also felt that it was unlikely.

After a while, I saw two officials carrying an old man up to the hall, it was Uncle Wei, who had been beaten to the point that he had already fainted to death, and was motionless like a dead corpse at the moment.

Ah Xiu has been dependent on Uncle Wei since he was a child, and when he suddenly saw this tragic situation, he screamed sadly, "Grandpa!" He ran forward, but after only three steps, he felt dizzy and dizzy, and immediately slowly softened.

Yun Zhonglong saw that her expression was different, strode forward, and before she fainted to the ground, he hugged her in his arms, usually I heard that I am used to seeing the darkness of officialdom and the sinister world, but as long as it has nothing to do with me, it doesn't involve the people around me, after all, such a social reality will always exist for thousands of years or even longer, and it is not at all that change can be changed. turned around and handed the unconscious Ah Xiu to Lu Mengxue and the girls, and said to the long-bearded man: "Find someone to come and heal him immediately!" ”

The long-bearded man's eyes were round, and seeing that no one spoke, Sima Lengjun also nodded, and without waiting for Wu Neng to say, he obediently called two officials to personally take Uncle Wei, who had fainted to death, to go to the doctor.

Yun Zhonglong walked up to the woman again, lifted her up from the ground, untied the wooden shackles on her body, and said softly: "Tell me the truth of the matter, I will help you!" ”

The woman had just seen Ah Xiu call Uncle Wei his grandfather, and Yun Zhonglong had a clear relationship with Ah Xiu, so she knew that what he said was true, but it was just the pain on her body, so she couldn't help but look at Wu Neng.

Wu Neng was afraid that she would say something unfavorable to him, so he walked over to this side, glared at her fiercely, and said, "With Lord Sima and this mansion here to be your master, you can rest assured and outspoken." ”

The woman looked at him as if she had been targeted by a poisonous snake, and she felt a chill on her back, and quickly closed her mouth.

Seeing this, Yun Zhonglong flew up with a kick, and without much force, he kicked Wu Neng more than ten steps away, and scolded in his mouth: "Call you troublesome!" Then he turned to the woman and said, "Rest assured, I promise that no one will dare to punish you for this." ”

When the woman saw him, she kicked the high city official directly away, looked around, and found that no one dared to cry out for him at the scene, even those officials were not seen, and her heart was also very frightened.

Only then did he say slowly: "The slave family was originally the Deng family, but it was a camp prostitute in Chaoge City, and it was ransomed by the old man of the cycle a few days ago and became his concubine. Yesterday, I stayed with him at the 'Yuelai Inn'. Early this morning, the slave family got up to prepare hot water for the lord to wash, because he had not engaged in manual labor for too long, when he was carrying water upstairs, he accidentally fell down the stairs, but fortunately met the kind guest to help him, so he was not injured. As he spoke, he gratefully glanced at the back of Uncle Wei leaving.

Then he said: "But the hot water was all poured on the two of us, and the slave family was grateful to him, and he was very sorry, seeing that his clothes were wet, and the weather was too cold, he wanted to help him wet his clothes and take them off. Then, Master Zhou accused us of adultery, and then the little brother also rushed over. As he spoke, he pointed to Xiao Wu next to him who was called out to invite guests.

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Xiao Yi had just arrived at the 'Yuelai Inn', and he saw that a servant took the two of them and his uncle away, so he looked for someone to report to Sima Mansion, and he followed him to the official mansion. ”

Sima smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth and said to Xiao Wu: "This time, you did a good job!" ”

Xiao Wu hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, master, this is all what the little one should do." ”

The woman (Deng's) said: "At the beginning, the city officials asked us kindly, but after learning that Master Zhou was the wife and brother of Lord Sima, he didn't ask us at all, so he beat the two of us first, and listened to and believed Master Zhou, and asked us to confess our guilt, and if we didn't admit it, they continued to beat him, and finally, he was knocked unconscious by them and died, and then he used his blood to draw a charge on the confession with his fingers, and the slave family couldn't stand it and confessed it all, and that's the way it was. ”

Yun Zhonglong knew that this was indeed the case, so he said to the remaining officials: "Take her to recuperate first." ”

When Sima Lengjun saw that she was being taken away, he turned to the cycle and scolded angrily: "What she just said, is it true? ”

After all, he was a little scared in front of him, so he said: "I finally ransomed her out of the barracks, how do I know that she dared to hook up with my old man behind my back, the expressions of the two are indeed ambiguous." ”

Sima Lengjun also had a headache, and couldn't help but look at Yun Zhonglong and said, "Ripples, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

When Wu Neng, who was shrinking in the corner, heard this, his soul suddenly scattered, and with the situation that he had just kicked himself, if he wanted him to make a decision, his fate would inevitably be tragic, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to turn over in the future.

Yun Zhonglong thought about it, in fact, this matter was originally a trivial matter, but Wu Neng, the dog official, was too inflammatory, so he would make this accident of torture, and although the cycle was wrong, he himself was not unforgivable, and he was Sima Lengjun's wife and brother, and now he was about to marry Leng Rushuang, so he naturally had to leave him a little affection.

Then he said: "This matter is mainly because Wu Neng didn't ask about the indiscriminate and beat him into a trick, I think this person will be beaten up, and then he will be driven out of Chaoge, as for the others, forget it." What do you think? ”

Sima Lengjun was really afraid that he would attack the cycle, although he didn't care much about him, but if there was any accident in front of him, he would not be able to get over his face; Moreover, it was not easy for the lady to explain, seeing that he just asked for Wu Neng to be dismissed from office, and no longer held accountable for the cycle, it was naturally better, so he said: "I will deal with this matter." With that, he led the cycle, and the two of them left.

also called Leng Ruyu, but she answered, but she didn't take a step for a long time, and there was nothing she could do. He and Xiangguo Shangfu, who is the head of the hundred officials, are also close to each other, and the two are related by marriage, and if he wants to remove a small city official, it is actually just a piece of cake for him.

Yun Zhonglong also took the comatose Ah Xiu and Lu Mengxue to the 'Yuelai Inn' temporarily.

Soon after, a servant sent Uncle Wei, who had dressed the wound medicine, over, although he had not yet regained consciousness, but his complexion had improved a lot, but Ah Xiu was angry and anxious, and he hadn't woken up for a long time.

At the beginning, when Huangpu and others left, it was handed over to Chen Pi to take care of it temporarily, and then invited a maid again.

The cycle originally wanted to put the elders' shelf in front of the dragon in the clouds, showing the prestige of the quasi-uncle, but the other party kicked the city official Wu Neng more than a dozen steps away, and also kicked his good dreams away. knew that this young man was not so easy to mess with, but he was doubly unhappy in his heart, and only thought that the other party dared to be so unscrupulous by the cold banner of his father-in-law, Master Sima, so he said unintentionally: "Brother-in-law, your future son-in-law is really powerful, how can you seem to be more majestic than you?" ”

Sima Lengjun is also a person who has been in the officialdom for decades, so he naturally understood what he meant, and he didn't care much, and said lightly: "He has already given me a lot of face today, otherwise, you think you can get out so easily." ”

Only then did he realize that Yun Zhonglong was not just relying on Sima Lengjun's relationship, but that he had an extraordinary identity or strength, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Then who is he?" ”

Sima smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "You will know about it later, in short, you'd better not annoy him, otherwise no one will be able to save you." Then he changed the subject and said, "By the way, I received the wedding post so quickly?" Then he said, "No, I heard that you arrived in the city yesterday, how can you be so fast?" ”
