Chapter 144: Turning the Tide
This loud shout made all the birds resting in the surrounding trees flutter and fly. The soldiers couldn't help but wonder if Bao Changchuan had been hit too hard and went crazy, so they didn't dare to pull him, and hurriedly let go of their hands.
Qiu Shuren was also worried, and hurriedly put on a defensive posture, so as not to deliberately retaliate and bite himself after Bao Changchuan went crazy.
The birds, alarmed by the shouting, kept fluttering on the doors and windows of each room. In the room in the backyard, Jiang Liuyu was talking to Qin Zitong.
Seeing that Qin Zitong was a little lacking in energy, Yan Si reached out and just wanted to help her lie down and rest, when the sound of birds flapping their wings suddenly woke up the drowsy Qin Zitong.
Usually encountering this strange situation, it is a sign that something bad is happening, Jiang Liuyu gradually lowered her eyes, and exchanged glances with Xiaoyun, she couldn't help but be a little worried about Bao Changchuan in her heart, and she didn't want Qin Zitong to delay her recuperation, so she deliberately diverted her attention.
"What's going on out here, why is it so noisy? Could it be that those birds are planning to go to the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix? ”
It's a pity that Qin Zitong didn't pay attention to her jokes at all, his eyes were still round, staring closely at the window, and the whites of his eyes were quietly covered with bloodshots.
Jiang Liuyu was a little frightened by her appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "What's wrong with Madam, could it be that she is suddenly not sleepy?" If so, why don't you teach me how to embroider, I have admired Madame's embroidery skills for a long time. ”
"I'm afraid I can't." Qin Zitong gasped, feeling that it was a little difficult to breathe, she lay on the pillow weakly, feeling that her head was very heavy. "This day is going to change."
The heavy and hoarse voice echoed in the room, making Jiang Liuyu's mood a little uncomfortable.
Yansi was originally happy that her wife's health had improved, and thought that when she could get off the bed and walk, she would take her out to enjoy the flowers. Now when I heard her say such a sentence quietly, my heart was suddenly very heavy, and a thousand words were like a fish in my throat, and I couldn't say it.
Jiang Liuyu turned around and propped up the bracket of the window, through the gap in the bamboo window. It was clearly clear that it was still bright outside, but the clouds were a little thicker.
"Don't worry, Madame, it's going to be sunny for a few days in a row. No matter what the situation is, you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. Jiang Liuyu had something to say, and Yan Si, who had been patting Mrs. Bao's quilt and wanted her to rest, looked at her in confusion.
Qin Zitong seemed to be holding his breath, and suddenly let out a long sigh, as if he no longer cared about many things. Jiang Liuyu felt that the atmosphere in the room was too dull, so she made a mistake.
"Maybe Madame thinks the house is too stuffy, so I'll go out and ask them to make a bowl of sour plum soup, and by the way, let's see what the situation is outside."
With that, Jiang Liuyu pushed open the curtain and walked out. Yansi originally wanted to follow and find out, but she didn't worry about others taking care of Qin Zitong, so she had to stay and wait.
The courtyard was in a mess, and the people in the Bao Mansion didn't know where to go, and a small pit was dug out of the flower bed in the distance.
Seeing that it was like being robbed, Xiao Yun pulled Jiang Liuyu's sleeve with a surprised expression, "Princess, isn't it that Lord Taiwei who was so angry that he desperately arrested everyone and tortured them." ”
"How is that possible?" Jiang Liuyu saw the scene in front of her, and the tense atmosphere that had just been created was immediately disappeared without a trace by Xiaoyun, "No matter how stupid she is?" It's impossible to cover the sky with your own hands. ”
"Looking at the mess here, it can only show that the group of forbidden troops who searched are too unqualified. But there is no one so far, I'm afraid that the dust has settled, let's go to the front hall and have a look. ”
Xiao Yun nodded, and was just about to take Jiang Liuyu to take a shortcut from the end of the path to fight forward, when he saw her pacing a few steps to the front of the small pit.
Something is buried here, could it be that Lord Bao is now being framed. Jiang Liuyu was about to lower her head and pick up a handful of soil to examine it carefully, when Xiaoyun came over and pulled her up.
"Princess, what's so nice about this mud, let's hurry up and hear the results, so that Mrs. Bao can rest assured earlier."
"Well, let's go." Jiang Liuyu was worried in her heart and nodded.
When he walked to the periphery of the front yard, Jiang Liuyu saw a sea of people in the courtyard. Through the gap, I saw a small servant kneeling in front of Qiu Shuren, as if he was complaining.
To say that Jiang Liuyu came over by coincidence, it happened that when the forbidden army sent the dug jar to the front, she listened to the rumors and came.
Standing outside and listening for a while, Guishu's mouth was full of words, and Jiang Liuyu was stunned in place, and it wasn't until Lord Bao's collapsed cry that she came back to her senses.
When the sky just changed, the startled bird had just fallen back into the branches, and was startled by Bao Changchuan's loud sound and took off again. Qiu Shuren didn't have that much kindness to wait for Bao Changchuan's mood to calm down, so he immediately asked someone to use coercive measures.
"Do you all eat dry food? I can't even catch anyone, and since he is crazy now, I will hang him with shackles, and save him from going out and hurting people. ”
can force an elderly person to this point, and Qiu Shuren can be regarded as enough to lose his conscience. The other subordinates in the Bao Mansion couldn't bear to look at it, and they knelt on the ground and begged him to let Master Bao go.
"Wait!" As soon as the march was about to start, he heard this crisp woman's shout from behind the crowd.
"Who is so bold and dares to disturb the tolerance of the errands...... Qiu Shuren said quickly, first scolded for half a sentence, and then when he thought that there was only one person in the entire Bao Mansion who had the qualifications and identity to shout this sentence, there was only one person, and the expression on his face immediately became very exciting.
Taking advantage of the gap between these people kneeling and begging, Jiang Liuyu stepped on the gap and walked in quickly. Xiao Yun helped Jiang Liuyu to stand beside Master Bao, just relying on himself to separate the forbidden army who wanted to get started, Jiang Liuyu took the time to see if he was injured somewhere.
"Master Bao, please take care of your health, don't wait for Mrs. Bao to recover, you will fall ill instead."
This sentence was more effective than any coercive measures, Bao Changchuan's eyes suddenly regained some brilliance, and the bruised tendons gradually calmed down.
Counting Jiang Liuyu's rash opening this time, she interrupted her plan twice in total. Qiu Shuren hated him when he saw him, but there was nothing he could do about her.
Finally calming down his emotions, Qiu Shuren took a deep breath, tried his best to pull out a reluctant smile, and walked to Jiang Liuyu's side and arched his hand.
"Princess, isn't it that you were deceived by the high-minded appearance that Lord Bao originally pretended, if you know what he did, I'm afraid you will be even more indignant than this official."
Such a reversal of black and white can only be said by Qiu Shuren. Jiang Liuyu sighed and rolled her eyes, and then glanced at Qiu Shuren obliquely.
"Although I am only a woman, I also know how to measure and know right from wrong, how can I speak rashly when I don't know the situation. Even if it's a temperament, I'm on different occasions, and since I say so, I must have some reason. ”
Qiu Shuren listened to her words, and snorted coldly imperceptibly, "The official doesn't know when the official will handle the case, and he needs to be given advice by a woman, and the princess is too lenient." ”
"Everything should be explained clearly, and there are still big doubts about this matter. Lord Taiwei decided the case so easily, don't you feel that you are too hasty? ”
Although officials perform their own duties, they can still intervene across levels with different ranks. Although Jiang Liuyu, the princess of the forbidden army, does not have any positions and rights, she also has the qualifications to speak in front of Qiu Shuren.
What's more, the trouble has not yet spawned into you, so why not take advantage of this time to exercise your rights to the fullest. After Jiang Liuyu thought about it, he raised his head very proudly.
"I pretend to be the law, if I remember correctly, there should be a 'three-person confession', and now there is only one person who accuses Lord Bao, Guishu, if Lord Taiwei finds two more that are consistent with his confession, then I will definitely have nothing to say."
The people in the Bao Mansion were almost united, except for the exception of the appearance of the Guishu, and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Liuyu's words. Everyone takes care of their feet and will never take a step forward.
Jiang Liuyu, a woman who is completely uninvolved in political affairs, how can she be so clear about the laws of our dynasty? The expression on Qiu Shuren's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't care about the verdict in the capital, and naturally he couldn't hear that Jiang Liuyu's words were nonsense.
It seems that the rule of 'three people make a confession' does exist, but it should be a matter of the previous dynasty. Zhao Ming saw that Jiang Liuyu was so sure, and Qiu Shuren looked cramped again, and he almost wondered if he was mistaken.
However, since the founding of the dynasty, although this article has been abolished, the meaning of the revised article is not much different from the original. If someone investigates Jiang Liuyu's words in the future, with Su Jingye's mouth, she will definitely be able to get out.
Qiu Shuren's unfamiliarity with the law just gave Jiang Liuyu an opportunity. Zhao Ming saw that Qiu Shuren was deflated, his heart was extremely happy, and he secretly sighed, and decided not to help him expose this matter.
"If you think about it again, you see that there are others who have heard the lady and the maid with you." Zhao Ming pretended to be eager on the surface, as if he was asking Guishu for Qiu Shuren, but in his selfish heart he was very gloating.
Qiu Shuren turned his head in disbelief, as if when Zhao Ming took the wrong medicine, the muscles on his face twitched, and he only felt that he asked so deliberately, which was more like a mockery of himself.
Under Zhao Ming's questioning, Guishu was a little at a loss, and his eyes didn't know where to look, "I don't know, no one is willing to do the matter of pouring night incense." ”
