Chapter Forty-Eight: Ten Miles to Release
Zhang Changxiu listened to her shouts of "husband" and "Chu'er", his cold and hard intestines were also softened a little, and most of his angry emotions were poured down by her tears, and most of his distress and sorrow occupied his heart, frowning and saying helplessly, "Chu'er, how can you say that?" The husband also knows that you are unintentional, since you are unintentional, and the husband has to wrongfully accuse you to prison for the sake of the official reputation, isn't it even more bad to be an official? ”
"Husband, how do you plan to solve this matter?" Hua Chu'er looked at him with teary eyes, "If the husband admits that it was a misjudgment, I am afraid that the whole city will be ...... again."
"Heaven and earth have their own justice, where can we cover up the truth for the sake of face?" Zhang Changxiu was physically and mentally exhausted, his palms were slightly clenched into fists, and he rubbed the green tendons of the riot against his forehead, "This matter will be solved by the husband." In the future, when you speak again, you have to think clearly. Human life is greater than the sky, and you can't play with it at will! ”
"Yes, Chu'er understands." Hua Chu'er nodded violently.
"You are already frail, and this winter is extremely cold, so stay in the house before the beginning of spring to take care of your body, don't run around and suffer sin. If it's okay, just look for it and don't remember anything wrong. As for the affairs of the house, let Aunt Rong Zhang Luo be. ”
Zhang Changxiu gave a grounding order in disguise, which shows that this time he was really annoyed. Hua Chu'er pursed her lips, put away her crying, and quietly accepted the punishment.
"Okay, I'm going to think of a way to solve it, and you can rest early."
Zhang Chang let out a long sigh, and when he looked at Hua Chu again, he was already full of resentment, and the more he looked at it, the more he had a headache, so he flicked his sleeves and walked out quickly.
Seeing this, Ruyu got up, bent her legs and stepped forward, and helped Hua Chu'er up: "Madam, get up quickly." ”
Hua Chu'er's legs seemed to be stuck to the ground, and as soon as she lifted them, her knees were torn and painful, and she knelt down again.
She bit her lip and pinched her leg tightly with her fingers, so that she didn't cry out in pain. The more she struggled and suffered, the deeper Hua Chuer's hatred became, and all of it was recorded on Chang Le.
Zhang Changxiu heard the movement, but still left without looking back.
Wu Ze, who was guarding the door, saw his master come out and hurriedly followed.
After following out of the Red Bean Garden, not far away, he saw Zhang Changxiu stop in front of a willow tree, and then he slammed his fist on the willow tree.
The willow tree shook a few times, shook down a pile of snow, and smashed it on Zhang Changxiu's head, neck socket and shoulders. The snow warmed and melted rapidly due to his high body temperature.
A few streaks of blood flowed from between his fist and the trunk, snaking down the texture of the trunk.
"The head of the house." Wuze couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Wuze, you say, Chang Le, did she put some curse on me?" Zhang Changxiu hid in the darkness of the shade of the tree, his tone was full of resentment and helplessness, "Is she a ghost who has come back to take revenge now?" ”
Wu Ze went through his words in his heart, thinking of the various things he had come into contact with Chang Le, and in the face of Zhang Changxiu's questioning, he could only answer one thing: "The master mother is indeed a person." ”
"Is she human?" Zhang Changxiu became annoyed, turned around and grabbed the placket of Wuze's clothes, glared at him and asked angrily, "Since she woke up from hitting the pillar, everything has not gone well for me, and every decision about her is wrong in the end!" Did she have to force me to blame myself over and over again, fall into trouble step by step, and finally repay her life-saving grace with her life? ”
"Master, maybe you were mistaken?" Wuze rolled his eyelids and said truthfully.
Zhang Changxiu suddenly laughed: "This official has always valued evidence, and she is responsible for every case, which one does not have sufficient evidence!" ”
Wu Ze saw that Zhang Changxiu's current state was not right, and it was not good to continue to stimulate him, so he said slowly: "Family master, let's think about it, how to solve Shili's case." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Changxiu was deflated, loosened his shirt, panted and turned around, looked at a clear lake, and closed his eyes unwillingly: "This is forcing this official to admit his lack of ability to the people of the world, and admit his mistakes to her Changle." She is always happy, and I am afraid that she will be even more blind in the future. ”
Wu Ze listened helplessly, thinking that he didn't get any of this. In Wuze's impression, Chang Le, the housewife, is a person who you don't recruit me and I don't mess with you, the head of the family is not idle and has nothing to do to find her, and she is quite comfortable living by herself.
"As long as the head of the family has more trust in the housemother, there will be no such thing." Wu Ze still couldn't help but say it, and when he saw Zhang Changxiu's reproachful gaze, he immediately hid behind the tree, pretending not to be there.
……
The next day, the thirteen county government offices.
Chang Le was still dressed as a goblin and spirited, standing at the entrance of the yamen with the three maids in the pot courtyard, waiting for Zhang Changxiu to ascend to the hall. A few passers-by heard that Taishou was going to be promoted to overturn the case, so they also surrounded them.
"Madam, I heard that the Hua clan was grounded by the head of the family yesterday, and he won't be able to come out until the beginning of spring." Autumn Oriole gloated.
Chang Le was surprised for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said: "This is a crime that she deserves, making her angel have a bad heart." ”
While speaking, the yacha stood still on both sides, calling majestic.
Chang Le was immediately silenced.
Zhang Changxiu walked out of the side door, dressed in official uniforms and majestic, sat on the Taishi chair under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging" with a robe in his hand, held a shocking wood, glanced at Chang Le with a complicated expression, slapped it fiercely, and shouted: "Take ten miles!" ”
When the yacha heard this, he immediately came up with Shili, who had already prepared to go to the hall.
Shili only knew that he was going to be overturned, and when he knelt down, he couldn't help but smile: "Shili has seen Master Taishou." ”
"Shili, you originally admitted to stealing Hua Chu'er's white jade ring, and now the official has to have a new clue, and I know that you are mistaken. Ten miles, concealing the truth and not reporting it, voluntarily being polluted and imprisoned, what do you think of the national law of this great clan? ”
Chang Le heard Zhang Changxiu's shameless remarks outside, and immediately wanted to take off his shoes and stone him to death.
Shili listened to what he said and had nothing to do with him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Shili naturally respects the national law of the Great Clan, but he is too obedient and does not listen to others, and he frames my wife not because of Hua's words. ”
"Smack"!
Zhang Changxiu slapped the shocked wood in shame and threatened: "Don't talk nonsense. This official has always acted according to the law, and if there is no witness, how can he judge your master and servant in vain? You don't want to defend your master, but you ignore the laws of the country and deceive your own officials. If it weren't for the official to find out, wouldn't you let the law of the country and let the official be infamous as a wronged and innocent person? Come on, bring Shi Qin! ”
"Madame, keep an eye out there." Dong Xia hurriedly stopped Chang Le, who had already taken off his shoes, and hurriedly asked Chun Nuan to put them back on for her, "Madam, look, Shi Qin is here!" ”
Chang Le kicked the shoes that Chunnuan had just put on her, broke away Dongxia's palm dissatisfiedly, opened his arms and shook his sleeves, and glared at Zhang Changxiu angrily. What a sharp mouth that reverses black and white and shirks responsibility!
At this moment, a maid came up to the hall and knelt down.
"Cheap maid Shi Qin, knock to see the old man."
"Shi Qin, come as you know." Zhang Changxiu ordered.
The maid hurriedly said: "Back to the master, Shi Qin is the maid of the Taishou Mansion, and that day Mrs. Taishou and the concubine Hua had a banquet in the Jiyue Pavilion, and Shi Qin was one of the maids who served." On that day, Shi Qin saw the second lady take off the white jade ring and give it to the main mother. ”
"Shi Qin, didn't you say it earlier?" When Shili heard this, he suddenly screamed.
The maid winced and said, "I heard that you admitted that you stole the ring, but I thought I was mistaken, or I didn't know what was in it, so I didn't say anything." Unexpectedly, it was Sister Shili who deliberately misconfessed to the crime. ”
"Smack"!
There was another startling sound, and Zhang Changxiu said solemnly: "Don't make a noise in the public court." Now that the matter has been cleared, Shili is innocent and released according to law. The sin you suffered before was deserved in disregard of the law of the land. Listen to the admonition! There is only justice in heaven and earth, and the truth will be revealed, and it is extremely foolish to think that you are hiding the truth and suffering! If you do such things again, you will not be spared! Retire! ”
The last shocking sound, the left and right officials shouted together, and the case was closed.
The yacha stepped forward to untie the chains of Shili, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Taishou is waiting for you outside." ”
"Thank you." Shili smiled and got up, turned around and jumped out.
The fence in front of the public hall was also removed, and Chang Le could finally go in and hold the flying Shili in his arms.
"Madame, you are amazing. You really got me out! Shili exclaimed excitedly.
Chang Le proudly rubbed her messy hair and said, "That's natural, don't look at who your wife is." Hurry up and change this prison uniform, let's go home. Before the spring warmth and autumn warblers came out, they prepared a bunch of delicious food, just waiting for you to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”
Shili jumped off her body, twisted his eyebrows and said in disappointment: "Go back to eat?" I thought my wife was going to take me to Qianyun Restaurant. ”
"You don't have a small appetite!" Chang Le smashed her forehead with a shudder, "Your mouth is being raised." I ate the dishes of Qianyun Restaurant twice, so I always remember it? ”
"Madam, after all, after suffering such a great sin, I want to eat something delicious." Shili touched the place where his forehead was beaten, and grinned.
Chang Le snorted, and said without pity: "You can eat as much as you want, and in the end, you just stay there." ”
"Hey, Madame abandoned Ten Miles so soon?" Shili frowned and complained.
Chang Le took ten miles to the back of the ya, and asked her to change her clothes. As he walked, he turned his head and said to Chun Nuan: "Chun Nuan, don't improve your cooking skills, you just learn how to make this prison meal, and you will give it to her in the future." ”
"Madame, you're abusing me!" Ten miles screamed.
"Don't abuse you, take you to the restaurant, it's Mrs. Ben who abuses you!"
……
The retrial of the Shili case has caused quite a stir in the thirteen counties, and the image of Changle in the eyes of the people is changing rapidly.
First he painted the portrait of the suspect, then he reproduced the miracle at the assassination banquet, and now the maid was framed. Chang Le's black words dissipated little by little, but the words of the concubine's conspiracy theory flowed out of some of the main room's mouths, and the pressure of public opinion began to pour on the concubine.
What to say must be that the concubine treacherously framed the main room in every possible way, hoping to grab the title of Mrs. Taishou, so she had the bad reputation of Mrs. Taishou.
On the second day, Ruyu came to the pot courtyard and sent window grilles and couplets.
There are many patterns of paper-cutting, there are seven or eight in total. When the time is to step on the snow to find the plum, the year should take the lead, the auspicious peacock opens the screen, the nine carp play in the water, etc., each exquisite and beautiful.
