Chapter 39: The Opening of the Class
"I heard that it's not just two moments, if it weren't for the inconvenience of my legs and feet, I would also like to go and see this excitement." The old woman is a hard-working person, her son took some of the silver that their husband and wife half survived to Yaozhou to do business, and her husband went out to set up a stall to make a few small bucks and would not come back until sunset, so although she has age, she does everything in the family, and there is no one to accompany her on weekdays, she also takes a fancy to Du Yiyi is not like a bad person, and the family will be more lively when she lives here.
"Old woman, do you want to see it?"
"Who doesn't like to watch it, this case is so big, it's also because General Shen is a big fan, hey, a young and promising general, I heard that he is not a grumpy person who treats people well, who knows that he is also a stinky man, he actually had a relationship with his sister, and he actually beat people with his own identity, but he married a good wife." The old woman swept and stopped, sweeping back and forth in such a small place, and her mind was not on it. "Yo, what's wrong with you?" Du Yiyi's face was blue, and the old woman stopped what she was doing again.
"It's okay, it's okay, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, I've heard of this General Shen before, and it's not like the kind of person my mother-in-law said, I have a cousin who was a soldier under General Shen, and said that General Shen is good, what is it, it must be something that others say." Du Yiyi explained to the old woman seriously.
"Yo, girl......" The old woman laughed, leaned over and whispered in Du Yiyi's ear: "Isn't the girl secretly promising this General Shen!" ”
Du Yiyi's cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly explained.
"Explanation is tantamount to covering up, now in the capital except for General Shen, who will say good things for him, the girl doesn't have to be ashamed, I think back then, the old woman and I also had a crush on Prime Minister Lord Lu, if there were no two things, General Shen's status in the heart of the young girl would be much better than that of Lord Lu back then!" The old woman laughed twice before waving her broom again.
"Okay, mother-in-law, don't laugh at me, I want to go to the yamen of Shuntian Mansion this afternoon, do you want to go with me?" Speaking of gossip, whether it is old or young, it is the same, the old woman is depressed at home every day and has nowhere to go, and now that she has such an opportunity, of course, she nodded happily and agreed.
How did it get to such an extent? Du Yiyi tugged at his sleeve and entered the door in despair, and began to think about it in his heart, if this matter is not stopped, I am afraid that it will make a bigger trouble, those people who are in the imperial history and the people who are now in a state of popularity will not let go, and those five people have also reached a desperate situation and will not withdraw the case, how can this be good! If Shen Ke is really punished by the emperor because of this, won't his own sin be great?
In the afternoon, only the two of them ate, Du Yiyi was not in the mood to eat less, and the old woman only ate half a bowl if she was not digested well, and helped the old woman brush the bowl, and the two went out. Seeing that it was still early, Du Yiyi went with her, the place where the husband set up a stall is in the more lively Chopping Horse Street in the capital, although there are not as many people as the main street leading to the mainstream, but there are many shops, because there is an allusion to the founding ancestor and a stone tablet carved by the holy ancestor, tourists from outside will come here to walk more, so the flow of people who set up stalls here is still a dog.
The husband sells some women's handicrafts made by the old woman, most of them are embroidered sachets and purses, and there are also some gadgets, just for others to buy for a pleasure.
Although those people only went to Shuntianfu this morning to complain, but Shen Ke's drunken beating of people had spread yesterday, and when they arrived in a crowded place, it was inevitable that they would hear some gossip, Du Yiyi was originally a person who didn't like to go out, and there were very few people who knew her, and now she had changed into such a outfit and appeared in the downtown area, and no one would recognize it, this trip was really correct, Du Yiyi heard some sudden changes in those gossip when she was helping her husband sell goods.
The old woman was talking about it early in the morning, but these people were talking about something that had just happened.
"It's amazing, General Shen is a person who has broken through thousands of troops in the grassland, and his strength and martial arts are comparable to those butchers who sell fish, and I just heard that there is a tenant who is not in good health on weekdays and finally can't support it and dies! I think this sachet is good. ”
"Dead? Didn't you go to Shuntianfu early this morning to complain? How did you die? ”
"Don't you see? Early this morning, there are three people who are lying on the shelf and carried into Shuntian Mansion, they are already excellent in martial arts, and they drank wine and lost their proportions, and they were lucky if they were not killed on the spot, this is that they can't swallow this breath and are not afraid of the powerful to come to complain, and they lost their lives, now, it seems that General Shen can't escape demotion, and if he can't get it, he will still be beheaded in prison. ”
"Killing pays for life, even if he is a hussar general, it is difficult to calm the anger of the people, but you can see the body of that man?"
"I haven't seen it, I also listened to what others said, and now those few people dare to provoke, or avoid some, so as not to get bad luck. Alas, what do you think of this purse? ”
"Yes, yes, the Shen Mansion with infinite scenery at this time looks like it is going to suffer, alas, isn't it that Shen Ke's sister will marry His Royal Highness King Rui in half a month?"
"What are you marrying, if something like this happens, you still want to climb high?"
"I estimate that eighty percent will be yellow."
"Auntie, do you want to buy it or not?" The two kept talking, and they all touched the sachets and purses on this stall one by one, and they didn't pick out a favorite one.
"Alas, you little girl, what's the tone, come on, I won't buy it yet, let's go." The fat aunt's eyes widened and she dragged the other aunt away.
"Girl, you have to be patient in this business, or I'll come to the old man!" The old man on the side watched the business leave, and he didn't have the heart to gossip with the old woman anymore, so he moved the stool and sat next to Du Yiyi.
Du Yiyi's mind was chaotic, so she simply stepped aside. Dead people............ The nature of this case is different, now the emperor is Shengming, and the control of hundreds of officials is also strict, not to mention beating people to death, even if they invade the people, the Yang Mingbo family has been robbed of the lord and destroyed, and now Shen Ke is only afraid of ............
Even if the emperor trusts it, if there is such a case, the emperor can't cover up and show favoritism, how can this be good!!
"Gone girl, the hour is almost up."
The old woman stood up with her waist in a hurry, and by the way, she took out a few copper plates from her husband's waist, saying that she would wait to buy something.
Du Yiyi followed her with a sigh, although she didn't know much about Dahe's law, but from the emperor to the Son of Heaven to break the law and the common people to implement the law, you know that Dahe's law is strict and the law is not merciful, killing people pay for life, this has been since ancient times, whether it is a general of a product, or a prince and duke, as long as the emperor is unlawful, he can't escape his life, and now it is rumored that the emperor has angrily reprimanded Shen Ke, if this dead person is reported, then the emperor ............
The more she thought about it, the more unimaginable it became, Du Yiyi wrung her sleeves and secretly asked her lips, this was an unwarranted disaster for Shen Ke, and for her, it was a choice of conscience and morality.
Shen Ke was angry and beat people because of her, but she fled from the Shen Mansion at such an important time, and now Shen Ke is likely to destroy everything that she has worked so hard to build up in the past because of this, should she continue to stand by and watch? Or, stand side by side with him?
The choice of conscience and morality is often fearless of life and death, go back, maybe as those great gods said, you don't have to marry King Rui, but it is still her cage, the eternal cage, go back? Or leave?
Her conscience was questioned over and over again.
"This case was reported to the Shuntian Mansion, and the Shuntian Mansion has no right to try the case of the Minister of Yipin and should be handed over to the Criminal Department, but the emperor let the Shuntian Mansion try it, and I don't know if General Shen will show up this time?" The old woman talked to Du Yiyi with relish as she walked, but her words did not get any response from Du Yiyi, like a stone sinking into a pool, which could only cause some waves, but would not roll up waves.
The old woman saw that Du Yiyi was preoccupied, and she consciously closed her mouth, but she held her for fear that she would go the wrong way.
The people's attention to this case is unprecedented, although it is just now, but the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion is full of people who have eaten and walked out to have nothing to do, some women who live near Shuntian Mansion actually brought their own benches to sit outside the innermost railing, some expect that this case should take some time to bring some melon seeds or something, although they have not yet ascended to the court, the chatter of these women outside is noisy and lively.
All kinds of words criticizing Shen Ke finally gathered here and were sublimated, and all kinds of scolding words against Du Yiyi also won everyone's recognition here, here, in this group of people, the two names Shen Ke and Du Yiyi are like the most disgusting things in the world.
Du Yiyi listened to everyone talking about her and Shen Ke's all kinds with a blank face, she was not afraid and angry, she just felt sorry for Du Yiyi, she thought she was vigorous, but she became the most disdainful jump of everyone, how sad it was.
Out of Lu Xiangxue, no one can understand Du Yiyi's feelings for Shen Ke. She felt sorry for Du Yiyi, in the end, at the end when she was dead, the only person who could understand her was actually the person she hated the most.
"Girl, I see that your face is not good, this crowd is too crowded, do you want us to go out first?" The old woman had been listening to everyone's conversation and didn't notice Du Yiyi's face, and when she turned her head to see it, she suddenly became nervous.
"It's okay, it's about to open, and if you go out, you won't be able to squeeze in." She stood in this position, just standing on tiptoe to jump over the tall man in front of her and see the plaque hanging high in the mirror, whether it was a prominent scenery or a splash of muddy water, Shen Ke's popularity was still as good as ever.
"It's okay not to look at the excitement, it's okay not to see if you're sick, look at you and look plump, but I don't know that your body is so weak." Compared with those sharp, high-pitched and harsh voices, Du Yiyi only felt that the hoarse and old voice in her ears was extremely cute, although this hoarse and old voice also thought that he was a scum like those people.
"It's okay, I'll take the medicine with me, just go back and take it." Du Yiyi didn't want to talk to her or waste time, her eyes were tightly locked on the lobby where there was no movement.
"Lord Fu Yin has come out, and the hall is about to open!"
As soon as this voice sounded, the already noisy crowd became restless again, one by one tiptoeing desperately trying their best to squeeze forward, but Du Yiyi did not move, standing in this place where she thought she was the safest.
"Hey, there's really one person missing!" Although they couldn't see what was going on in the lobby, the people in front of them always conveyed what they saw in a timely manner.
"Is it really dead?" As soon as there was a voice in front, those in the back who couldn't see the situation in the lobby like Du Yiyi would talk.
Du Yiyi concentrated on raising her ears in a vain attempt to hear the movement in the lobby in the noisy crowd, but she couldn't hear anything except for a few startling sounds.
"Shen Ke didn't come."
