In the past few days, Yefu has been busy. Up to Master Ye and his concubines are busy cutting new clothes, down to the family Ding maids are busy hanging red lanterns, pasting couplet door gods, tidying up the sacrificial stove, etc., because in a few days, it will usher in the most anticipated Spring Festival of the year. Of course, Yefu also has to do it on the occasion of the New Year, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

At this time, the Ye Mansion was filled with joy.

Jin Luoluo also received good news from Cao Dachun on this day: the sea people have docked again. I didn't expect to be able to earn another one a year ago. She is planning to make a new set of bright colors in the next few days, so that she can also be touched by the joy of the New Year. This is good, you can reward yourself for doing a few more sets.

That night, Jin Luoluo pushed the empty cart to the dock as usual.

As soon as she got into the small fishing boat docked in the corner, before she could begin to inspect the goods, there was a rustling sound all around. Hearing the movement getting louder and louder, one of the crew members felt that something was wrong, lifted the curtain of the ship, and suddenly gasped in shock, and said in a panic: "Oh no, the government is here, everyone disperse!" ”

Jin Luoluo was also shocked, and when he looked back, he saw that the dock was already lit up in a short time, and countless officers and soldiers were gradually surrounding their small boats with torches. Jin Luoluo was so frightened that he hurriedly got out of the boat and wanted to run away.

"Arrest that woman!" One of them, like the leader of the patrol, commanded the soldiers around him. And the woman in his mouth was Jin Luoluo who wanted to escape.

Jin Luoluo was shocked again, how could the soldiers of the government seem to have known that there were imported goods for sale here? It's over, if she's caught today, then she's ......

Jin Luoluo didn't dare to think about it, he only accelerated the speed of escaping under his feet, but the speed of a weak woman was not as fast as the speed of the strong soldiers, and after a while, Jin Luoluo was tied up by five flowers.

Everything came so fast! The sellers who stole the goods did not escape arrest, and the soldiers of the imperial court had already opened a large boat to block the waterway for them to escape, and these merchants were like turtles in an urn, and they were easily arrested.

Jin Luoluo and the merchants were escorted by the soldiers all the way, and they were soon taken to the prison cells of the government office.

Jin Luoluo was in a state of confusion the whole time, and it was not until she saw that there was nothing in front of her except three clean walls and a cold iron door, and she accepted this fact in a trance.

She's caught!

What can I do?

Jin Luoluo, who accepted the facts, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, thinking about whether there could be any solution, but his brain couldn't calm down at all. The ancient punishments seem to be quite heavy, she should be sentenced, right? How long, three years, five years, or ten years? Could it be that all her good youth will be wasted in this dim and smelly cell?

Jin Luoluo was finally frightened, and just sat on the dirty ground.

Can she turn around this time?

"Squeak squeak...... Something under the pants kept arching her, Jin Luoluo moved her thigh suspiciously, and when she saw something under her legs, Jin Luoluo's face suddenly turned pale!

"Ahh Jin Luoluo screamed directly, "There are rats ......"

……

Outside the mansion, the waiter of the Criminal Department was facing the woman in front of him wearing a black cage hat and said, "Thank you for the girl's report and help my Criminal Department crack a big case." ”

Ouyang Chenxi hooked his lips and smiled slightly: "Lord Shilang doesn't have to be polite, these are all things that we little people should do." However, I would like to inquire what kind of punishment should be imposed on these people if they are convicted. ”

Lord Shilang smiled slightly, and replied: "The imperial court has always been a close grasp of merchants who evade tribute and leak tribute, and once caught, there is only the death penalty. ”

"Oh......" The corners of Ouyang Chenxi's lips raised a perfect arc.

Early the next morning, Jin Luoluo and the vendors were escorted to the lobby.

"Smack!" Lord Shilang slapped the case hall fiercely, "Boldly Diao the people, dare to do non-~ legal transactions at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are all human and material evidence, can you be guilty?" ”

The people kneeling at the foot of the hall all bowed their heads and lowered their eyes. No words, no rebuttals, kind of acquiescence.

Jin Luoluo hung his head and said sullenly: "My lord, the villain is guilty, and I hope that the adult will be light." ”

Lord Squire nodded, and then said, "In this case, then sign and wait for the beheading to be shown to the public." ”

Beheading?

Jin Luoluo raised his head in shock and said, "My lord, how can it be a death sentence?" ”

"According to the law of the Chur Kingdom, even a tribute that misses a penny is a death sentence. Do you want to deny it? ”

"No, my lord, I don't want to deny it, it's just that how can the punishment be so heavy, I, I don't know......"

"Now that you've pleaded guilty to the crime, there's nothing else to say. Come! Lord Squire commanded, "Put these prisoners in prison and await execution!" ”

"My lord, my lord, spare my life! The villain is wrong, the villain will never dare again, the adult ......" only heard Jin Luoluo's screams echoing in the lobby and passed all the way back to the prison.

Yefu.

Without Xiaoba's Ye Qingqiu, the whole person was irritable. has called Langya to order all the secret guards in the house to find Xiao Ba's whereabouts, until the Ye Mansion is almost three feet into the ground, there are no dark guards to report, last night in the middle of the night I saw Xiao Ba sneak out of the house, and then never came back.

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu's entire body tightened, could it be that something happened?

However, what is Hachi doing when he goes out in the middle of the night? Could it be......

Ye Qingqiu frowned suddenly, hurried to the account office, saw Yi Changan, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where Xiaoba went last night?" ”

Yi Changan was stunned for a moment, thinking of the conversation between Cao Dachun and Jiujiu yesterday, and then replied: "Jiujiu girl should have gone to the dock last night......"

"Smack!" Ye Qingqiu couldn't help but slap the table vigorously, and scolded angrily: "Confused! Aren't you very good at thinking about Hachi? Why didn't you stop her? ”

"Young master, this is ......"

"Don't you know the laws of Chull?"

Yi Changan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he asked anxiously: "Young master, but something happened to the ninety-nine girl?" ”

Ye Qingqiu twisted his eyebrows and said sharply: "Young Master Ben will go out to look for someone now, you better pray that nothing has happened to her!" After saying that, he shook off his robe and turned away.

As soon as Ye Qingqiu left the house, he went directly to the government office to inquire about Xiaoba's whereabouts, and sure enough, as he expected, last night the Criminal Department arrested a group of ~ smuggling traders at the dock, and the human and material evidence were there, and the Criminal Department set the punishment of beheading the public in court.

Ye Qingqiu frowned and gritted his teeth. The squire of the Criminal Department is incorruptible, unlike other officials, who can solve this matter if they give a little bribe, and if they don't get it right, they may be self-defeating. In short, this matter is still a little tricky.

But, no matter what, the first thing he wanted now was to confirm Hachi's safety, and the thought of Hachi in that dim and damp cell made him feel more and more anxious.

Ye Qingqiu bought off the jailer, thinking that when he saw Xiaoba for a while, he had to scold her fiercely to relieve his anger!

I had warned her a long time ago and told her to stop, but she had to listen!

Ye Qingqiu went through all the scolding words in his mind, thinking that he must scold her to death for a while!

Ye Qingqiu, under the leadership of the jailer, came to the cell where Jin Luoluo was held with a cold air. In the dim light, Ye Qingqiu squinted, smelling the smell of rotting in the cell, and his brows furrowed even more.

After the jailer opened the chains, Ye Qingqiu took advantage of the dim light to see that the people in the cell were squatting and burying their heads in their knees, Ye Qingqiu held back his anger and shouted in a deep voice: "Little eight! ”

Jin Luoluo raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw the man standing at the door, his slender body was shrouded by the light shining in, the breeze blew through the silver lake-colored fox fur on his big hand and rose slightly, and a pair of cold eyes were cold and indifferent.

Jin Luoluo's desperate heart seemed to have revived, she couldn't control it anymore, seeing Ye Qingqiu was like seeing the last ray of light before dying, her eyes were hot, so she rushed up and hugged Ye Qingqiu, crying loudly: "Young master, ......"

The howling cry made Ye Qingqiu's body stiffen.

She cried......

Ye Qingqiu frowned slightly, her mouth seemed to be stiff, and if she wanted to scold, at this moment, she couldn't squeeze out a word, so she only let her hold his waist and cry like a convulsion, and the piercing voice was like a small thorn, all piercing into his heart, although the pain brought by him could not kill him, but it was accompanied by every breath he breathed, and he only felt a heart-piercing pain.

After a long time, Ye Qingqiu finally raised her hand gently and stroked her back. The arm around her body couldn't help but tighten, as if he had made a promise to her, and as if he had made up his mind to himself, he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Ben will save you." ”

Jin Luoluo hugged Ye Qingqiu and sobbed for a while before he gradually stopped crying. Looking up and raising his eyes, a pair of eyes that cried pear blossoms with rain saw Ye Qingqiu's heart pull again.

"Young master, you, are you there, comforting me?" Jin Luoluo asked, sobbing.

Ye Qingqiu's eyebrows were bent, and he reached out to help her brush her somewhat messy hair, and said with a smile: "Who is Young Master Ben?" The only son of Yefu! My father and many ministers of the current dynasty are iron buddies, can this little thing still be solved? ”

Jin Luoluo's red and swollen eyes lit up for a moment, and only then did she realize that just now she hugged Ye Qingqiu directly without control, and also cried his silver lake-colored fox fur, Jin Luoluo hurriedly let go of the hand that was still holding Ye Qingqiu's body.

The arm that circled his body fell down in an instant, and a trace of emptiness and loss suddenly appeared in Ye Qingqiu's heart.

"Then please young master, Xiaoba, Xiaoba doesn't want to die yet." In the sobbing tone, there was both gratitude to Ye Qingqiu and a trace of grievance, which made Ye Qingqiu's heart itch.

"Don't want to die?" Ye Qingqiu smiled and continued: "If you don't want to die, you still take Young Master Ben's words as a deaf ear?" ”

Like a child who has done something wrong, Jin Luoluo lowered his ears and whispered, "I know it's wrong." ”

Ye Qingqiu rubbed the broken hair on her forehead and said, "Now I finally understand, opportunistic things won't work after all." ”

"Hmm......" Jin Luoluo hung his head and whispered in a long voice, "I won't dare to do this again." ”

Ye Qingqiu sighed and continued: "You wait patiently first, and the Japanese young master will take you out in a few days." ”
