Chapter 147 Thanksgiving for Favors
Li Chun stood up and slowly leaned his head forward, Cheng Ziyu saw two clusters of dancing flames in his eyes, which seemed to be more vigorous than yesterday's light, making her heartbeat also chaotic.
"I am from the capital, I am twenty-one years old, and I am the eldest son and the only son in the family. Both parents are gone, but fortunately, the family is not bad. I haven't married a wife yet, and I haven't married ......"
Cheng Ziyu wondered in her heart, secretly saying that this guy is not crazy, right? He was ordered by the emperor to keep it secret, and his identity should be kept absolutely secret, otherwise he wouldn't have to hide it like this along the way. He is so kind and discerning, so trustworthy to himself?
Li Chun propped himself up a foot away from her and whispered:
"Cheng Ziyu, you remember! There is nothing inconvenient for me with you. Since I have chosen to help you believe in you, I will not lie to you. I hope you can remember my words! I'm leaving, and if you still believe me like you did last night, keep it a secret for me!" ”
After Li Chun finished speaking, he stretched his waist and prepared to leave.
"Wait! I...... Can you give me back my dagger? That's my grandfather who gave me ...... defense."
Before she finished speaking, she saw that Li Chun had already put the dagger on the table.
Li Chun is so easy to speak, but it shows Cheng Ziyu's little family.
"Gone! Thank you for the wine gourd, I love it! "The last time he took her dagger, he wanted to create an early chance to say goodbye to her. Now that he has her favor and gift, he should return this dagger.
Walking to the door, he looked back again.
"If you have an emergency, and you don't have anyone to use, go to the medical center, and I have someone there."
"You and I will meet again in two months at most, don't pretend not to know me when the time comes!"
"I remember yesterday in the warehouse, you invited me to Jingxi as a guest? Well, maybe it won't take two months! Soon, you'll be able to see me again! ”
Li Chun smiled, pulled the door and left......
"......" Cheng Ziyu was speechless. She remembered that last time she just reported to her home and said that the Cheng family would help him when he was in need in the future, and never invited him to the door, right?
Two months? Well, it should be said that the emperor went south.
Apparently he will accompany him.
Yes, the time for the Emperor and Empress Dowager to go south is getting closer and closer, and she still hasn't thought about how far she can do in this life is the best protection for the family.
For this reason, she has been a little apprehensive.
But at this moment, after receiving Li Chun's confirmation, she was relieved. Like a backing, she just felt that he would be there to help her, so that her fear of fighting alone suddenly dissipated.
"Girl, Mr. Li seems to be ...... Interested in you? He smiled and put out the food box and picked up the table.
"You're thinking too much! At first glance, this Li Gongzi has an extraordinary family background and ability, and he can't look down on me! ”
"What if you like it?"
"If you fall in love with me, you won't marry! If you want to marry me, then you have to be the son-in-law of my Cheng family. Such sons will never give up what they have, so ah, it's useless to think too much! ”
However, Li Chun's burning eyes flashed in front of him, and Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but ask himself, did he really take himself seriously......
"I have to pay back all the favors I owe him."
He smiled and nodded, but when he opened a heavy food box, he found that it was full of small silver bills.
"I haven't returned the favor, and there are more! This boy is really careful! I was worried that the girl would have no money, and I was afraid that the girl would have too much money to make people suspicious, so I took a lot of pains. ”
"Count how many, put it away!"
Cheng Ziyu only sighed.
She had a feeling that if she continued in this situation, she was afraid that she would not be able to pay off the debt. "The next time you see him, you remember to remind him to pay back his money."
In the carriage not far away, Xia Wei lifted the wine gourd on Li Chun's waist with a look of disgust.
"There's no one left, don't act, master, take it down quickly! It's ugly! ”
"Tsk, you girl, how can you talk! I didn't act as your master, vulgarity is elegance, I don't think this wine gourd is ugly. You're not used to it......"
"Isn't that jade better?"
"Go, you know what! She owes me a favor more than ten times, but this favor only paid back ten cents. This gourd won't be hanging for long! ”
"What do you mean?" Xia Wei raised an eyebrow.
She was in a hurry to repay my favor, but she was shy, so she endured the gift of ten cents. She is affectionate, how can she use such a cheap gourd to give me this benefactor who has helped him many times? She is also an identity person, isn't it a shame to make this shabby shot? The young master is suave, and she also sees that my temperament does not match this gourd, so her gift is obviously too insincere......"
"So ......"
"So the next time we meet, she will definitely take the initiative to prepare other big gifts to exchange this wine gourd back!"
“……”
"What kind of gift is the best way to show your heart, you say?"
“……”
"Naturally, she made it herself!"
“……”
"I guess she'll make a unique flask for me!" Li Chun pursed his lips and looked out the window with a look of longing.
Xia Wei couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
It's a good step to retreat into advance, which is so embarrassing that the other party is embarrassed!
It's so calculating!
Xia Wei snorted. "In the future, if Miss Cheng doesn't look down on you, then you will take the wine jug she personally burned and gave you all over the world to spread rumors, saying that she has long been in love with you, so that she has to marry you!"
"What a great idea! Xia Wei, look at it! ”
“……”
Xia Wei shook her head, a little speechless.
However, looking at the master's radiant spirit, if he has changed as a person, it seems to have become more humane...... Is this good, or bad?
Not long after Cheng Ziyu and the others returned to the yamen house on the wharf, a servant came to pass the message, saying that the first court trial had officially started at three o'clock in the afternoon, and asked her to arrive early.
As expected, the evidence had been detailed as early as last night, so the first trial went smoothly and quickly.
If Gao Xi was already in a messy state of confusion before, then at this moment, Qinghe's death and the witness being drugged made him at a loss, and he didn't even know where to start with an explanation, let alone defend himself.
The whole yamen was in a hurry to settle the case, and after nearly two hours of trial, the case had been sorted out according to the context and timeline given by Cheng Ziyu. In this case, only the final conviction remains in this conclusive case.
Because it also involved the Yangzhou Yamen and the wharf along the river, after the coffin was closed, the Yuan envoy couldn't wait to get away, and he justifiably transferred the case to the Liangjiang Yamen.
The Liangjiang Yamen had no choice but to take over this case, and whoever asked them to be in charge was the military affairs, food and salary, and river affairs of Suzhou, Anhui, and Jiangxi. Indeed, in any way, it is most convenient and appropriate for them to be judged!
In this way, it provides convenience for Cheng Ziyu. The Liangjiang Yamen is in Jinling, which means that she doesn't have to wait for someone from Jingxi to come, and she doesn't have to wait for the final trial, she can go home first.
Her confession has been given clearly, and everything will be fine as long as she goes to Jinling to go through the motions after the case is fully handed over.
In this way, Cheng Ziyu was sent back to Jingxi alone under the protection of the Jiangxi Yamen.
