As soon as Jiang Lan heard that she was going to delay Guozijian's class, her eyes immediately lit up.

But it can't be too blatant, Jiang Lan still changed to a more high-sounding excuse. "Brother Zuo, since I came to you for dinner, you still have such a sincere hospitality, this is not helpful, I really feel a little sorry in my heart. Well, in this way, you can go back to class the day after tomorrow, and let me go! ”

Jiang Lan patted her chest, looking upright.

"Anyway, Dr. Liu's matter is not over yet, and I may still have to fight with him when I go back. Although he does owe something in his behavior, this is still half of our husband after all, and we still have to persuade him.

I'll go, if he gets sick again, it's not good, and for the elderly, we still have to let it go.

It is the so-called old and the old, the young and the young.

Besides, if this people have a problem, we should apply what we have learned and try our best to solve it. ”

Zuo Yu was in awe and said to Jiang Lan, "Brother Jiang, in fact, I still always thought that you were unruly and love freedom, and since that day of defense, I have become more and more impressed with you. ”

Jiang Lan looked at this obsessive and fanatical look, and immediately explained, "Actually, I also have a lot of time, I will not participate in next year's Spring Festival, and you also know that I have no real skills in learning." Doing what I can is what I'm good at. ”

"Brother Jiang!!"

Jiang Lan was dumbfounded, and said in her heart, "How can this be more and more exciting, and it is counterproductive?" ”

Looking at Li Huaining, the kid actually fell into deep thought.

has been thinking about the appearance of words and gods, if Jiang Lan hadn't looked at him Mingtai Qingming, he would have been stained by some evil thing.

"Brother Jiang, what are we going to do now?" Zuo Yu asked.

Jiang Lan thought for a moment, "Although this Shanxia Town is remote, it is still under the jurisdiction of Jiankang, we have to take care of this matter, I'm afraid we have to report to Jingzhao Mansion." It is best to let the people of Jingzhao Mansion come forward, so that it is safe and does not damage Qin Shu's face. ”

Zuo Chen gave a thumbs up, "It's still what Brother Jiang thinks, let's go quickly." ”

When she went out of the door, Jiang Lan noticed that some eyes were staring around and didn't know what was going on, and she always felt a little strange.

Zuo Yu and Jiang Lan got into Li Huaining's car together, but Li Huaining was led into the carriage by these two.

Zuo Yu pointed at Li Huaining and Jiang Lan and said, "Brother Jiang, what is this Huaining?" ”

Jiang Lan glanced at it, and couldn't think clearly, "Maybe you're thinking about something." ”

The carriage drove towards the Jingzhao Mansion, looked out the window, and asked, "Brother Jiang, why did you take Huaining's car today?" Li Xiangfu and Weiguo Mansion seem to be also on the way. ”

Jiang Lan thought about it for a while, indeed, this one is in the northwest direction of the Drunken Immortal Tower, and the other is in the northeast direction, which is not in the way at all.

"I went to the theater today, and I happened to meet it."

"Listen to the play!?" Zuo Yu was stunned, and then hurriedly dissuaded, "Brother Jiang, forget about the play, don't listen to this book, especially the place where the people are buzzing." ”

Jiang Lan looked at Zuo Yu and asked, "You also went yesterday?" ”

"What!" Zuo Yu was stunned and said, "Brother Jiang, you actually went??? You're not afraid of being scraped alive by that group of people. ”

Jiang Lan remembered that she and Zhao Yang were thrown away yesterday with melon peels and tea, and now she was still trembling.

"It's me and Zhao Yang who are making a lot of noise on the second floor." Jiang Lan took the initiative to admit.

"It turns out that yesterday's heart-sweeping was you." Zuo Yu quickly covered his mouth after finishing as if he was relaxed, "Brother Jiang, I didn't mean to. ”

"It's okay, it's just a quick mouth, it's okay." Jiang Lan waved her hand.

But Zuo Yu still looked very sorry, "Actually, it's not this thing." ”

“……”

"I also threw things."

Jiang Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked, "What did you throw away?" ”

Zuo Zhen is at war with people in his heart, whether he is honest and honest, or honest.

"I threw the fruit bowl and the teacup......"

Jiang Lan's fists clenched tighter and tighter each time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Zuo Chen, are you addicted to listening to books?" ”

"Okay, my father is better."

Jiang Lan laughed twice, then turned her face away and looked at the street outside the window.

The streets are lined with shops, and the twilight afterglow faintly sprinkles on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the afternoon scene of the prosperous Jiankang City in front of you.

The gorgeous afternoon sun shines between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high floating shop signs, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the indifferent and comfortable smiles, all of which reflect the pride of the Dachen public in the prosperous world.

On both sides are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops.

There are also many vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch to both sides of the city, always to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but the streets are still full of pedestrians: some carrying burdens, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull wagons, and some stopping to enjoy the scenery of the Bianhe River.

With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are dotted with teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.

The carriage walked, in front of and behind him were the faces of mortals who were either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, the carriages and horses were sparkling, the flow of people was like weaving, and there was a faint penetrating shout of the vendors not far away, and occasionally there was a long neighing of horses, Jiang Lan felt as if he was in a colorful and rich water mirror, and couldn't help but look at the sun halo in the distance, and the blood-red remnant sun, and his complicated eyes wanted to penetrate the shackles of the Six Realms.

"Sons, you're done." The coachman outside shouted, the side of the carriage suddenly sloped and half higher, Jiang Lan looked sideways, and actually got on a bridge.

In the center is a rainbow bridge and the street surface of Qiaotou Street.

At a cursory glance, it is crowded and disorganized; If you take a closer look, these people are people from different walks of life and are engaged in various activities.

There are some vendors and many tourists on the west side of the bridge.

There are knives, scissors, and miscellaneous goods on the stalls. There are those who sell tea, and there are those who read fortunes.

Many passers-by leaned on the railings on the side of the bridge, or pointed, or watched the boats passing in the river. On the sidewalk in the middle of the bridge, there is a bustling flow of people; There are those who sit in sedan chairs, those who ride horses, those who carry burdens, those who drive donkeys to carry goods, and those who push wheelbarrows......

Then the light dimmed for no reason, and it turned out that the carriage had crossed the bridge and entered a small alley.

On both sides of the alley are dilapidated and quaint moss-covered courtyard walls close to civilian courtyards, and some courtyard walls are also covered with dense green creeper vines, in the narrow shadow, it seems to sweep away the sultry heat of Luoyang in this summer, and have a little cool feeling.

Then as he walked, he suddenly opened up and drove into Kangzhuang Street.

"A few sons, this Jingzhao Mansion has arrived." The coachman outside shouted.

Jiang Lan and the others lifted the curtain and got out of the car, originally wanting to leave Li Huaining in the car, after all, this look was really scary, but they didn't expect it to be good for no reason. It's bad for no reason, it's good for no reason, but it's strangely tight.

The main buildings in the Jingzhao Mansion are concentrated on the central axis, including Zhaobi, Xuanhuafang, Gate, Yimen, Lobby, Second Hall, Third Hall, Back Garden, etc., which is also the preferred route to enter.

On the sub-line on the east and west sides, there are the Cheng Ya, the Master Book Office, the Dian Shi Office, the East and West Flower Hall, the Yin Hotel, the Dining House, the Prison, the Three Classes and Six Rooms, etc. From the perspective of the overall layout, the yamen strictly follows the regulations of the local government office of the previous dynasty, and expresses the traditional etiquette idea of "sitting in the north and facing the south, the left and the right martial arts, the front facing the back and sleeping, and the prison cell living in the south".

The first building in the Ya is the Zhaobi, also known as the shadow wall, which is a one-line building composed of blue brick reliefs.

The pattern in the center is a monster shaped like a unicorn - "greed", which is a greedy beast in mythology, which can devour gold and silver treasures, and finally ends up in pieces because of insatiable greed.

It is located at the forefront of the ya, and it is also to tell officials not to be corrupt and pervert the law, and at the same time to educate people not to be insatiable.

In the 100-meter road from the gate to the lobby, there is a gate called "Yimen", which is the ceremonial door of the yamen, and the shadow civil officials get off the sedan chair and the military attache gets off the horse". The door is generally closed and can only be opened when a new official arrives or a senior official arrives.

After the Yimen, it is the lobby of the Yamen, which is also known as the main hall, which is the place where the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion openly hears important cases and holds major ceremonies.

On the pillar in the lobby, there is a couplet: "If you deceive others, you don't deceive yourself, and if you lose the people, you will bear the country, so how can you bear it." The "Facility in the Center of the Lobby", which is a public hall specially designed for the trial of the Yin case of Jingzhao Mansion.

On both sides of the corridor in front of the lobby, the east is the official, the household, and the ceremonial room, and the west is the soldier, Xing, and the six rooms of the worker. This was the functional organization of the yamen in the old days, and there were scribes here to conduct official business.

Bypassing the lobby, there is the second hall behind it, the second hall is also known as the Qinzhi Hall, which is the place where Fu Yin hears general civil cases and major cases in the pre-trial, and it is also a place for retreat and rest when the lobby hears cases.

After passing the prison gate, there is a general prison, and there are many prisoners in the prison.

The deepest part is death row, this is the place where death row prisoners are held, all kinds of torture instruments, just looking at it from a distance, I feel shocked.

Jiang Lan was warmly welcomed by the people in the palace when he arrived, "Lord Shizi, Zuo Gongzi, please take a seat, and serve tea to the two of you." ”

Jiang Lan waved her hand, "No need, let me ask, is your master empty at this time?" ”

The messenger said, "Look, isn't this a coincidence, my lord is ascending to the hall, this may mean when it will be over, you are afraid that this time I will wait." ”

Zuo Yu said curiously, "I don't know what case Lord Qin is trying?" ”

The messenger saluted and said, "It's the succession case of the stepchild who has made a lot of trouble in the city in the past two years." ”

"Hasn't this case been deadlocked for a long time? How to bring it up again at this time? Zuo Yu asked, and also introduced the case to Jiang Lan. It's not a big case, it's a secret recipe for a rich businessman who wants to encroach on his widow's house, and it just so happens that it's the proprietress of the Tianji mutton pot we went to a few days ago.

The wealthy businessman fell in love with the eldest son of the dead brother Tian Xiancheng, that is, the husband and stepson of the proprietress, and wanted to pass on his son. It stands to reason that this folk succession is not uncommon, after all, it is necessary to continue the incense.

But the strange thing about this matter is that this person of the same generation actually became the son of his cousin, which is a bit difficult to overcome in terms of etiquette. But the rich merchant didn't care, he wanted to get the secret recipe by seizing the family property.

This lawsuit has been big for a year or two, and there has been no whereabouts. In fact, it is not right that there is no whereabouts, the previous Fu Yin and the current Lord Qin do not approve of this rich businessman getting this recipe, but this rich businessman does not follow it. I appealed back and forth I don't know how many times. ”

"Actually......" Jiang Lan hadn't spoken yet, and Zuo Yu pressed down again, "Brother Jiang, this case is interesting, our master used to discuss this matter with us, let's not go and take a look, this matter will develop later." ”

Jiang Lan immediately shook her head and said in her heart, "I don't know the follow-up development of this matter?" It's me who drives the story. ”

"I don't want to go." Jiang Lan decisively refused, and then looked at the errand officer, "I want to go to the prison, can I?" ”

The messenger immediately looked embarrassed, "This cell is filthy, I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of the prince and the son of Zuo." ”

Jiang Lan shook her head, "It's not filthy, it's not filthy, I've been in it for nearly a while, and now that I'm here, I guess the cell is still there, but it can give the three of us a rest for a while." ”

Jiang Lan got up and stretched, "After lunch, it's really easy to get sleepy." ”

He yawned, "Why don't you two go and see it together?" ”

Zuo Yu was shocked, and said in his heart, "What kind of calm and unhurried can put life and death out of the way?" The master is really a great Chen master. ”

With the messenger leading the way, this was much faster than when Jiang Lan came in by herself in the middle of the night.

In the distance, you can see a door, and soldiers standing on either side of it.

The ground of Yin's cell in Jingzhao Mansion was much lower than the land outside, even lower than that of Chenghao, so it was very wet.

Only one or two window openings let in light, and the windows were open high enough that the prisoners could not reach them with their hands raised. The little light that came in through the window was very faint, even at noon, it was nothing, and the rest of Jiankang had not yet darkened by the evening, and it had already become dark here.

The shackles and chains that had been used to lock prisoners away from escape were still hanging on the walls of the dungeon, rusty. There were still two gray-white bones left in the iron ring of a pair of shackles, presumably leg bones, indicating that the prisoner was not only emaciated to death in prison, but also tortured into a skeleton.

It's dark and damp, and it's like hell. There were endless screams and wails in my ears, and the originally warm moonlight turned into a miserable white and cold ghost. Everyone who comes in can't help but tighten their collars to resist the yin aura of the forest here.

The cowering Zuo Yan tugged at the sleeve of Jiang Lan, who was walking in front, "Brother Jiang, why don't we wait outside, it always feels like something here, my neck still feels uncomfortable, and it is tight." ”

There was another gust of yin wind drifting by, and Zuo Yu was even more afraid.

Jiang Lan turned his head, where is this Zuo Yu is so afraid, is there really two ghosts naughtily strangled his neck and hung on his body to play.
