Chapter 33: Ten Miles of Vanishing
"Madame is really crazy, send Madame back to the pot courtyard, and ask the doctor to come over and take a good look. If it's not good, you can't go out of the pot courtyard for half a step! Zhang Changxiu was furious and went directly to trial, "Send Shili to the Yamen, temporarily detain her in prison, and interrogate her relationship with the thief!" ”
Zhang Changxiu's voice echoed back and forth in Chang Le and Shili's ears like a curse.
The two looked at each other with teary eyes, speechless and choked, watching each other being dragged away.
Chang Le pursed his lips: Ten miles, I will save you!
Shili smiled slightly: Madam, I'll wait for you.
Hua's lip hook: Chang Le, let you also taste the pain of loss I have suffered!
"This ring is physical evidence, and it will be kept by the husband for the time being." Zhang Changxiu suppressed all his emotions and replaced them with a faint smile.
Because Hua witnessed the life and death of their master and servant, he was in a good mood, smiled softly, and nodded obediently.
"It's not too early, so the husband should go to the yamen earlier. After all, Shili is the maid of the master's mother, and when the husband disposes of it, ......"
"Since the law of the Great Clan has been determined, you don't have to intercede. This home, in the future, will be managed by you, and if it is handed over to that crazy woman, sooner or later it will be chaotic! ”
……
"I just went to the kitchen, and they said that they don't care about the food in the pot yard from today."
"How can this be?"
“……”
There was a burst of chatter outside the door, Chang Le had a splitting headache, slowly opened his eyes, and it was difficult to adapt to the light and close them again for a while. After waiting for a while, he barely opened his eyes and shouted in displeasure.
"Ten miles, what's the noise outside? I haven't slept well yet! ”
It was getting bright outside, and it was time for her to get up, but her brain was still groggy.
Squeak –
The door opened, and a figure ran in.
"Madame, are you awake?"
Chang Le raised his eyes, not ten miles, but an autumn warbler. After struggling twice, he reluctantly sat up, grabbed his hair and said, "What about ten miles?" ”
Qiu Ying looked at her in surprise and was speechless for a long time.
didn't hear a response, Chang Le frowned at her, snorted and laughed: "She won't and hasn't gotten up yet?" Ever since you came, this girl has become lazy. ”
"Ma'am." Qiu Ying called out distressed and anxious, with tears in her eyes, "Madam, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" ”
"Yesterday ......"
Chang Le had a headache, her brain was about to explode, and pictures flashed through her mind, and the speed was a little unbearable for her. By the end, she was already a wooden one.
Yesterday, she was sent back, and the doctor read it and prescribed a medicine for tranquility.
She fell unconscious after drinking, and slept until now.
She was still a little dazed, scratched her cheeks, and found that her nose was a little sour, and her eyes were a little wet, so she was stunned.
"Shili, because I was arrested and taken to the yamen."
Qiu Ying held back the sobbing sound that she was about to make, cleared her throat, and squeezed out a smile: "Madam, don't be sad, we believe that you will definitely find a way to save Sister Shili!" ”
"Shili, was she sentenced to death?" Chang Le jumped up suddenly, grabbed Qiu Ying's arm and asked urgently.
Qiu Ying's arm was hurt by her grab, and she didn't care about it when she saw this, she just wanted to comfort her: "Madam, don't worry. Sister Shili handed over the stolen goods, so the head of the family took her lightly and ...... her"
"What happened to her?" Changle can't wait.
Qiu Ying lowered her head, and her tears finally dripped out of her eyes: "The rod blames fifty boards, and it will be ten years." ”
"What does it mean to be in prison for ten years?" Chang Le looked in a trance, looking at her with a blank eye and waiting for an explanation.
"It's in prison and doing ten years of hard labor."
"Oh." Chang Le let go of her arm and sat down on the edge of the bed, like a puddle of dead mud, and kept muttering, "It's good if you're not dead, it's good if you're not dead." ”
Qiu Ying stepped forward and wanted to pull Chang Le up, so she couldn't do her best, so she could only sit next to her and sob: "The cane is no different from death." ”
She watched Shili being punished with her own eyes yesterday, fifty big boards, and her ass was beaten to a blur of flesh and blood.
Smack.
Tears fell to the ground one after another, splashing tears.
Chang Le consciously touched his cheek and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Sadness gives rise to hatred, and hatred has some spirit.
"In the future, I will definitely use fifty boards to kill that slut of the Hua family!"
"Madame said, get up quickly." Qiu Ying saw that her eyes finally had some light, and tried to help her up again.
Chang Le's hand propped up the floor, and he staggered to his feet according to the strength of the autumn warbler, and his brain easily regained some senses: "Ten miles over there, did you send the medicine?" ”
"It's been delivered, Chun Nuan personally gave her medicine." Qiu Ying nodded, "Sister Shili asked us to take good care of you, and she asked us to tell you that you have to recuperate well, so that you can peel off the fox skin of the Hua clan in the future." ”
Chang Le was relieved, and nodded when he heard the words: "It must be peeled." From today onwards, will I not be able to leave the pot? ”
"Yes."
"After that, it's up to you to move around. Be careful in everything, don't fall into the hands of that Hua clan. ”
……
Red Bean Garden.
Hua Chuer took a pair of scissors and pruned the red plum in the courtyard.
The Red Bean Garden was originally repaired by Chang Le, so when it was built, Zhang Changxiu also planted the red plums that Chang Le liked in it.
After Hua Chu'er moved in, she didn't touch them, just to treat them as victories and watch them day and night.
At this time, seeing that Lamei was as red as blood, as if it had been watered with the blood of Changle's master and servant, the corners of Hua Chu'er's mouth couldn't help but rise.
Ruyu was waiting, and when she saw her sneering at Lamaison with scissors, a chill surged through her body.
"The three girls in the pot courtyard are still inside?"
Ruyu hurriedly replied: "Yes." The head of the house said that they should take a good look at the housewife. ”
Click.
A sprig of red plum fell in response.
A chill flashed in Hua Chu'er's eyes, and she smiled indifferently, picked up the flower branches on the ground, and smiled gently: "This plum blossom is really fragrant." ”
No matter how much Zhang Changxiu misses the old love, she can pull out the weed that is in the way in the pot yard!
It's just a matter of time.
"Is there a change in the degree of food and clothing over there in the pot yard?"
Ruyu pursed her lips: "Mrs. Hui, it's all stopped." ”
"How can it all stop? She's the main mother. Hua Chu'er smiled brightly, "Go and call Aunt Rong, I want to discuss it with her." The Taishou Mansion is too extravagant and wasteful on weekdays, so it has to be thrifty. You can't just throw away leftovers and rags, can you? ”
She wants Changle to live like an ant!
……
In the county hall.
Under the plaque of "Tianli, National Law, and People's Feelings" is a wall of precepts.
Zhang Changxiu and Thorn Shi Jiang Congshan sat with their backs to each other, and the officials served two cups of tea.
Tea is not a top-notch good tea, but Jiang Congshan is satisfied when he drinks it.
Jiang Congshan took a sip slowly, stroked his beard, looked at the tea soup and said slowly: "Those who are officials should be honest, but don't forget the word people's feelings." As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to it.
Zhang Changxiu looked at the plaque along his hand, and said respectfully: "What the assassin said is that this official should keep it in mind. ”
"This thief has not been caught for a long time, and he has committed crimes one after another, and the Holy Lord is furious about this, and he has issued an edict to let you solve this case as soon as possible."
Jiang Congshan had a headache as he spoke, and he bent over and slapped the table twice with great urgency.
There was a dull rattle from the table.
"Zhang Changxiu, Zhang Zhongnan, Zhang Taishou, you can use some heart! How did I hear that Mrs. Zun was also involved in this case? Now there are rumors outside, why Mrs. Zun is complicit with thieves, and the maid who was imprisoned in the house by you is also an accomplice? ”
"Jiang Thorn Shi also said that it was a rumor, and these can't be believed." Zhang Changxiu felt sullen when he mentioned Chang Le, "As for that maid, this official has also tried it, although she committed a theft, but it has nothing to do with this serial thief." ”
Jiang Congshan was even more brain-screwed when he heard this, and once again said seriously: "It's difficult, you really have to put some thought into it!" Why is it that it is always because of some family matters, which affects official business? The wives and concubines in your family have become the laughing stock of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. This time, the saint also specifically mentioned that the tranquility of the family house should become a part of the review of the performance of our officials. Like you, let alone promoted, it's not bad if you don't drop! ”
"Jiang Thorn History, aren't we talking about official business? How is it involved in private matters? Zhang Changxiu frowned unhappily, "The official's family affairs will be solved by himself." ”
"Hmph, you solve?" Jiang Congshan was angry when he heard this.
You solve it, and it turns out that nothing can be solved!
"Jiang Thorn History, if there is nothing else important, this official will be busy with this serial theft case." Zhang Changxiu began to issue an eviction order.
Jiang Congshan glanced at him, blew the tea soup unhurriedly, and said, "Don't worry, this official still came to invite Mrs. Zhang to have a banquet at the mansion this time." This official has been in office for a year, and he has some understanding of the customs here, and plans to take advantage of the small year banquet to invite the rich families in the thirteen counties to exchange feelings. By the way, to appease the victims of the theft for you, you will watch it yourself when the time comes! ”
"There is Lao Jiang's assassination history to bother, and this official will definitely arrive on time." Zhang Changxiu stood up and bowed.
"Hmm." Jiang Congshan snorted from his nose, glanced at him and said, "This time, I have to bring a female dependent, there is no limit, but I will definitely bring Mrs. Zun." The official also wants to see what Mrs. Zun, who has superb painting skills, looks like, and see if she is consistent with the rumors. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Changxiu refused without hesitation: "Jiang Thorn History, Uchiko has been unclear since her head injury, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take it." At that time, if he is sick and the conflict is confronted, it will be difficult for the official to end, and it will be difficult for Jiang Tingshi to be embarrassed. ”
"Head injury? How did this official hear that it was difficult for you to force your wife to touch the pillar to prove her innocence? The Holy One is the most gracious of today, and you have done such a thing in vain for the saving grace of your wife. Do you know how many people have used this to impeach you? ”
Jiang Congshan hated iron and stood up and pointed at his nose to scold, and after scolding, he withdrew his hand and took it behind his back, shook his head helplessly, and patiently persuaded.
"This time, the official is also helping you. When the official came out, Neiko specially instructed that he must meet Mrs. Zun at the banquet. Bring your wife and behave well, so that everyone can see that your husband and wife are in harmony, and those rumors will be self-defeating, and your official career will be smoother. If you don't bring it, you're ready to hand in the black yarn! ”
After listening to this, Zhang Changxiu probably understood the reason why the saint was concerned about it again and again.
Probably because the wife of the assassin Shi, the eldest daughter of the Taifu, gossiped at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess spoke to the saint again.
