Chapter 289, Ask
The door of the criminal department was open, the officials went in and out, and there were people with knives, all of whom were big men like wolves and tigers. Not long after he came out of prison, Master Wen cowered aside, hunched over like a shrimp, and his heart was full of resentment. Three years of hard work in the river, I dare not say that like Dayu to control the water three times without entering the house, at least the year back less.
Colleagues are corrupt, bosses are corrupt, and Master Wen asks himself, he takes less. The person who took it still has resentment, why is that? Officials should understand in their hearts that if others don't take you, you won't be able to stay in this place.
Master Wen avoided these catchers, lowered his head and slowly walked inside. He didn't dare to look up, the one who locked him into Beijing was also a wolf-like person, and after half a year like a nightmare, Lord Wen didn't dare to think about it again.
came to the dripping eaves and asked people, but Lord Xi, who was in charge of his case, had not yet arrived. This case is under the management of Lord Xi, which makes Lord Wen feel that there will never be a day. Lord Xi's muddy kung fu is well-known in both the DPRK and China. He can't offend high-ranking officials, and he can't offend petty officials, but when he can't do both, Lord Xi can only offend those who can offend.
If his case is in the hands of Lord Wen, it is famous for his jealousy and hatred; If his case is in the hands of Lord Quan, although his hands are longer, he can at least give it away...... Thinking of this, Lord Wen sighed, and received less than a hundred taels of silver, the family had already lost a fortune, where was the money to give away. I want to be confused for half my life, and I still think that I am not the same as dirt and dirt, but now that I think about it, it is good to be alive even if the dirt is cleared.
Knowing that there were crimes to be investigated, Master Wen didn't dare to stand with others, for fear of listening to their jokes, and he didn't want to listen to their smug words, so he stood by the bushes under the porch.
When he heard the officials suddenly stop talking, Master Wen also looked up to see who it was. I saw two people coming out of it. As soon as these two people came out, everyone's eyes lit up. Not only to know who they are, but also how they are dressed, in this February spring breeze, it will attract people to take a few more looks.
The person on the left has a moire gold crown, inlaid with a piece of white jade, phoenix eyes and a straight nose, and is full of luxury, it is Huang Xiaohou; The person on the right is purple-clothed and smiling, with a long body and a jade body, and this person is Chu Huaixian.
They walked from the inside to the outside, followed by Lord Wen and Lord Kwon to send them out. The officials in the courtyard, even if they didn't know them, could see from the looks of others that the status of these two young people was not low, and they also bowed their heads in silence, and then secretly looked up.
When he arrived at the eaves, Huang Xiaohou Chu Huaixian stood and said politely to Lord Wen and Lord Quan: "Adults don't have to send each other, please go quickly." "Lord Wen and Lord Quan are also welcome, and they can be sent here from the inside. The two of them arched their hands with smiles on their faces: "The son walks slowly, and the little marquis walks slowly." ”
One of the officials asked, "Who is this son?" "This is someone who doesn't know Chu Huaixian. It stands to reason that the title of the little marquis should come first, and the son should be called first, which naturally leads people to ask questions. The person next to him whispered: "Young Master Chu's family." That person didn't speak again, just glanced at Chu Huaixian's face a few times to remember, afraid that he wouldn't know him next time he met.
Master Wen didn't know Chu Huaixian either, but he knew that his wife was thinking about going to the Chu family. The marquis is a knighthood, while the young master Chu has real power. When he heard the whisper, he also looked at Chu Huaixian's face, and he didn't care about it, and saw Chu Huaixian's two black eyes, looking at him.
Master Wen, who was startled, hurriedly lowered his head, feeling a little strange, and couldn't help but look up again, and saw that Chu Gongzi and Huang Xiaohou had already come to the front. Chu Huaixian smiled slightly, but Huang Xiaohou was puzzled, he didn't understand why Chu Huaixian came over. The little official in front of him, the old official uniform on his body seemed to have been rubbed and rubbed on the yellow mud floor, although it was not obviously gray, but it gave people a feeling of dust.
"Criminal official Wen Hao, see Gongzi, see Little Marquis." Master Wen hurriedly knelt down and saluted, Chu Huaixian called him up, and asked casually, "When did you come out?" Master Wen hurriedly said: "The criminal officer was escorted to Beijing half a year ago, and he has been in prison for more than five months. Half a month ago, when the epidemic broke out, seeing that the criminal officer was not good, the adults were gracious and allowed the criminal officer to be investigated outside the prison, and the criminal officer pleaded guilty, and the family of the criminal officer felt that the criminal officer should appeal again......"
Huang Xiaohou couldn't help but laugh, and whispered to Chu Huaixian: "You are trying the case? "This man is rambling here, like a court here. Chu Huaixian couldn't help but smile, patiently listened to Master Wen's words, nodded at him slightly, and only said one word: "Oh." He walked away with Huang Xiaohou.
The two of them walked outside the door and got on their horses, and Huang Xiaohou Ye threw Master Wen away from the back of his head. When the children of the family grow up and walk outside, it is not surprising that they help the family to do something. Young Master Chu was in charge of too many things, and Chu Huaixian asked Master Wen if he might have what he meant. Huang Xiaohou didn't ask about it, just for Chu Huaixian to fight again: "The people in the criminal department are getting more and more bastards, this has been a year and has not found out who killed the Rong family?" ”
"If I don't find out for a day, the name of this suspected murderer hangs over my head." Chu Huaixian also picked up. Huang Xiaohou Ye smiled: "You have a suspicious name, no one believes that you killed it." Chu Huaixian smiled indifferently: "Then I have to come and ask often, anyway, I have to give me an explanation." ”
The two men turned their horses together and went out into the street, followed by their families. Huang Xiaohou said: "Next time, let Uncle Xiaoguo accompany you, let him come in with a horsewhip and roar, it will be useful to manage and protect." Chu Huaixian laughed: "You don't know yet, he yelled in the Ministry of Rites for who the day before yesterday, was scolded by Concubine Xiao, went home and slapped Uncle Xiao a few times, and was on the wall of the house." ”
"This poor man, no wonder I wrote a letter the day before yesterday, asking me how many flowers and bones were played next to the Yingxiu Building, and I replied to him, I don't have time, go see it myself. If I had known this, I would not have entertained him. Huang Xiaohou also smiled, looked at the good sun in the corner of the wall, and said to Chu Huaixian: "This day is getting better and better, it's warmer, and hunting outside the city, how many arrows did you lose to Xiao Zhao Wang Ye during the New Year?" You said that it was difficult to open the bow in the cold, but it is warm this day, so you can rest assured that you can open the bow. ”
Chu Huaixian didn't want to go, and was frizzy: "Did I lose?" His bow is good. The side horse avoided a pedestrian, and Huang Xiaohou waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let you Hu Qin find a reason to go." I don't care, you can still fight with Xiao Zhao Wang Ye among us. I'll tell you, the day after tomorrow, the big sun, let's go out of the city, we don't have to come back at night, Uncle Xiao Guo is worried about the flowers and bones of Yingxiu Building, I'll find him a few Qingqi people......"
Chu Huaixian said: "Don't go!" Let's play from childhood to adulthood, I have to think about you, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be weird. Huang Xiaohou said: "No, no, she won't." Chu Huaixian said: "No, no, no, no, I have to think about you." ”
The family members listened to the whispers of the masters in the back, and they were also relaxed.
There was a sound of quiet street in front, and Huang Xiaohou and Chu Huaixian were still laughing and arguing on the side. A few horsemen came over first, followed by Zhao Cunzong's sedan chair.
"Falling off the sedan chair," Zhao Cunzong saw in the sedan chair, making people stop on the street, and the spring breeze showed his face. Huang Xiaohou Ye and Chu Huaixian got off the horse and came over and saluted. Zhao Cunzong also said with a smile: "Go hunting outside the city in a few days, Huaixian, do you dare to go?" Huang Xiaohou couldn't help but smile, Chu Huaixian was also smiling, and said calmly: "I just want to ask the little prince for advice again." ”
Zhao Cunzong laughed: "That's it, I'll prepare a bow for you, and then you say that my bow is good, and we'll change it." Chu Huaixian smiled without a little anger, his eyes were like torches, and he responded very simply: "Okay!" Huang Xiaohou on the side was afraid of losing his manners, so he didn't laugh out loud.
"Huaixian's bow is good, but his vision is far-sighted, and it is a little worse." Zhao Cunzong was not in a hurry, and there was Wei Quhua next to the sedan car. Zhao Cunzong said to Chu Huaixian again: "The eldest girl in the house is a family matter, Xiao Wang's vision is good. Chu Huaixian seemed to be smiling, and Wei Quhua owed a debt beside the sedan chair: "Thank you, little prince." ”
Huang Xiaohou Ye stopped talking, Xiao Zhao Wang Ye and Chu Huaixian met together, as long as there was a chance, the two of them would say a few words to each other. It wasn't until Zhao Cunzong's sedan chair walked away that Chu Huaixian, who was expressionless, got back on the sedan chair and looked sideways at Huang Xiaohouye: "The little prince is hard to protect the mountain, my sister is married, you have to get drunk." ”
While Zhao Cunzong was driving in the car, a guard quietly asked Wei Quhua: "The little prince can shoot a hundred stone bows, and no one in the Manchu court can compare with him." How much can your uncle drive? The last time they competed, I didn't see it in Kyori. Wei Quhua replied to him: "In front of my eldest brother, if you want to say that he can drive one hundred and fifty stones, you can say it casually when he is not there." ”
The two of them covered their mouths and laughed, and each of them went on an errand. Zhao Cunzong in the sedan chair faintly heard it and smiled slightly.
Huang Xiaohou only asked casually when Chu Huaixian was in the criminal department, and he and Chu Huaixian made an appointment to go to see Uncle Xiaoguo together. And was "casually asked" Lord Diwen, and entered the criminal department in frustration, and went home in good spirits.
The weather was good, Mrs. Wen was drying clothes in the yard, and she was stunned for a moment when she saw her husband come back. The entrance is prosperous and dry, but it depends on the face. Mrs. Wen was also overjoyed, her hand was still on her clothes, and she asked, "Redressed?" Master Wen smiled: "Where can I redress my grievances in one day." ”
came over to help Mrs. dry the clothes, but Mrs. Wen didn't let him do it: "This is not the work of the old man, let people see it, and you won't be able to suppress people if you become an official in the future." ”
"If you can't suppress it, you can't suppress it, the world is like weaving, and it's not up to people to decide." Master Wen still helped his wife with her clothes. This is a temporary house found after arriving in Beijing, and several families live in a large courtyard. At this time, those who went out went out, those who were not there were not there, and there was no one else in the courtyard, Lord Wen asked Mrs. with a spring breeze on his face: "What reply did the Chu family give you?" ”
Mrs. Wen showed an embarrassed look, and Master Wen smiled: "You just have to say." Mrs. Wen said: "It's not bad news, and it's not good." I haven't heard back yet. I was thinking, we can't afford to send it if we don't have the money, so it's better not to send one or two taels of silver. There's a little brother in her room, so I'll do some work for him. ”
Master Wen groaned and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I have actually already replied." Mrs. Wen fell off a piece of clothing in her hand, revealing a frightened look: "You don't agree, do you?" I knew I wouldn't say yes, but as long as there was a chance of survival, I had to ask. Mrs. Wen comforted her: "Madam, I didn't say no, I didn't agree, I didn't agree, but today I went to the criminal department to report, and in front of a courtyard, Chu Gongzi said a few words to me," Thinking about it again, it was actually just two sentences, and I asked a question, and there was only one word when I left. In terms of speaking, there is only one and a half sentences.
"But when the officials in the courtyard saw it, they all came to congratulate me and asked me how I climbed it." Master Wen pondered: "Okay, he doesn't know me, how can he come to listen to me." There is Mrs. Lao, I will go to your relatives tomorrow to ask, if there is a reply, we don't know. ”
Mrs. Wen was overjoyed and said happily; "Okay." She didn't wait for a moment, dropped the clothes in her hand, and wiped her hands in the placket: "I'll go now." ”
