Chapter 51: The Law of the Eight Deliberations
At this time, Lord Xu was taking off his official uniform in the room.
The demonic wind just now blew a lot of sand into his eyes, nose, mouth, and collar.
Lord Xu shouted at the people on duty outside: "Hurry up and get a basin of water to bathe and change clothes for the master!" ”
Instead of talking, the people outside knocked on the door.
Lord Xu was anxious and shouted, "Which rabbit cub is outside?" Can't understand what the old man is saying? Watch your skin carefully! ”
The man outside the door said: "My lord, something is wrong!" ”
When Lord Xu heard the voice outside, he was not a servant on duty, but like Master Han who helped draft the paperwork on weekdays, so he scolded while opening the door in disheveled clothes: "What's the big deal?" The little bunnies are tired of being alive! Do you want to rebel? ”
When I opened the door, it was Master Han.
Master Han was so frightened that he shrank and said, "My lord, let's go out and have a look." Public...... Gong ......"
Lord Xu said: "What a mess, you say it slowly!" “
Master Han sighed and said, "If you go back to your lordship, four people came outside, two men and two women, saying that they wanted to see your lord." Among them, there is a son, who is recognized by the slave, who is the eldest son of the Yufu in Bianjing City! ”
Lord Xu didn't react at first, and said, "Master Yu? Yu Yao? ”
When Yu Yao's name was revealed, he came back to his senses and said tremblingly: "Isn't that the master of the horse?" The woman who came with her was none other than ......"
Master Han nodded a few times hurriedly and said, "That's what I'm afraid of, so the little one didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to tell the adults!" The nobles did not reveal their identities, for fear that they had any scruples, and the small ones did not dare to speak out, so they dared to say that they had all the others apart. ”
Lord Xu's heart suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up! I'll put on my clothes! ”
Lord Xu thought to himself, Lord Yin Tianshu Yin did have a flying pigeon to pass the book before, saying that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had returned to the capital from Xingzhou, and Xu was going to pass through Xiangzhou and let the good students serve! What the hell, I've been so busy with all those messy cases these days that I've forgotten about them all! I didn't even send anyone to inquire inside and outside the city.
Thinking of this, he almost wanted to slap himself twice immediately, but thinking that he would have to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess later, it was inappropriate to have a red mark on his face, so he could only give up.
The master divided the already dirty official uniform by two and put it on for Lord Xu.
Master Xu stumbled forward quickly, and Master Han cautiously followed behind with broken steps.
Along the way, Lord Xu silently summed up in his heart, what is wrong with the official order these days, don't hit the muzzle. I heard that the current emperor cherishes this only sister very much, and if there is anything wrong, it will reach the heavens in a blink of an eye, and there will be no return.
When he was about to walk to the door, Master Xu suddenly stopped, stood up straight, pointed to his appearance, and turned back to Master Han and said, "Master, am I okay?" ”
Master Han hurriedly stepped forward, dusted off the dust on the official uniform, and said, "Don't worry, my lord. ”
Lord Xu said: "You are watching from the outside, but you don't allow others to come in and disturb you." ”
Master Han nodded and said, "The little one has been written down." ”
Master Xu walked into the door alone, and Master Han closed the door outside, guarding the door by himself, not daring to move.
Youwei was already sitting upright on the Taishi chair in the middle.
Seeing everyone's demeanor, Lord Xu thought that he couldn't be wrong, so he hurriedly made a big salute, knelt down and said: "Humble Xiangzhou assassin Xu Huishan, knock on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, knock on the horse." I didn't know that the eldest princess and the concubine were here, and they really deserved to die. ”
Youwei coughed lightly and said, "No courtesy." It's a micro-service trip, what is Lord Xu's crime? Hurry up! ”
When Lord Xu heard this, he relaxed slightly, and looked around, in addition to the princess and the two horses, there were two people who were very eye-catching, so he got up and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess." I don't know what to call this young man? ”
Yu Yao said: "This is the Wen Gongzi of Linglong Villa, my best friend." Wen Gongzi's family suddenly experienced a great change, so he abandoned the darkness and went to Dazhou to settle down. ”
Lord Xu said: "I've seen Gongzi Wen." I have heard that Wen Gongzi is talented and martial arts, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future! ”
Wen Cang saluted and said, "Lord Xu praised it falsely. ”
Yu Yao said: "This is the personal maid of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
Lord Xu said: "The girl has worked hard to take care of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess along the way......"
As soon as Xu Huanshan opened his mouth, countless words kept jumping out, and Youwei had no choice but to interrupt him: "Lord Xu, this palace will not be polite to you." This shrine came today to ask you for someone. ”
Lord Xu hurriedly cheered up, pricked up his ears, and then replied: "The eldest princess only commands, and she obeys all her orders. ”
Youwei said: "Yesterday, the palace went to the spring banquet, tasted the craftsmanship of Aunt Gongsun, and was very satisfied. ”
Lord Xu had a sad face, and said: "I don't dare to disobey Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in the next matter, but this princess is now carrying a murder case, and the law of the country is above, so I really can't say that I can let it go!" ”
Yu Yao said with a smile: "Lord Xu, don't be afraid, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is a princess, she will not insist on being embarrassed." As far as I know, Lord Xu obtained his fame through the opening of the department, not the official position of Yin Feng, I don't know if I am wrong. ”
Xu Dadao: "Yu Horse has a good memory!" Xia Guan is indeed from a two-rank jinshi. ”
Yu Yao said: "Since you have real talent and real learning, you must know the eight articles in the national law?" ”
Xu Dadao: "I know that the eight discussions refer to the discussion of relatives, the discussion of reason, the discussion of virtue, the discussion of ability, the discussion of merit, the discussion of noble, the discussion of diligence, and the discussion of guests." All these eight types of people should be petitioned to the current emperor's holy judgment to appropriately reduce the punishment. ”
Yu Yao said: "So, let me ask you again, what does the so-called discussion energy refer to?" ”
Xu Dadao: "If you return to Ma Ye, you refer to a person who is outstanding in a certain aspect. At this point, he suddenly realized, knew in his heart, and the sweat of his whole body fell, and continued: "What does the master of the horse mean? ”
Yu Yao said: "Yes, this Gongsun Auntie's cooking skills are world-famous, and now she has won the appreciation of the eldest princess, he has a bright future, even if she is promoted to the palace to serve." In this way, it can be regarded as a person with outstanding talents. ”
Lord Xu said: "It is naturally her blessing to have the opportunity to serve Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the concubine have opened the golden mouth, they naturally obey the humble duties. The lowly position is going to be folded, and the case will be reported to the imperial court, and the emperor will adjudicate it. ”
The case of Aunt Gongsun's alleged murder of her husband is already very tricky, and Xu Huanshan can't wait to throw this hot potato out quickly, happy to be at ease, and can sell the eldest princess a favor.
Although it is a personal murder case, after all, it is a matter of ordinary people, and it will not be tried by the Holy God in person, and the biggest possibility is to send someone to bring the prisoner to Dali Temple. In this way, although it is inevitable that a big case will be charged with lax control, since Aunt Gongsun has won the appreciation of the eldest princess, if she does something in the future, it will not be a credit for his return to the mountain.
Lord Xu tentatively continued: "Then the humble position will temporarily continue to imprison this Gongsun Auntie, waiting for the Holy Judgment? ”
Yu Yao said: "That's natural, but we must make sure that Aunt Gongsun is safe and secure in prison." ”
Lord Xu said: "Don't worry, the master of the horse will be strictly guarded, and outsiders will not be allowed to approach." In addition, there will be no shortage of good wine and good food every day. ”
Yu Yao said: "Aunt Gongsun is a woman who can drink any wine, and now that she is in prison, she will inevitably get angry, just prepare some light dishes that are appetizing." ”
Master Xu smiled and said: "The master of the horse is right, it is the humble position that said the wrong thing, thank you for mentioning it." ”
Yu Yao said: "Where is it, there is Lord Lao Xu." ”
Youwei got up and said, "That's very good, then the palace will set off." ”
Lord Xu said: "Eldest princess, if the color has been darkened today, it is better to stay in the city for one night and then leave, so that you can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Hearing him speak, Youwei, Yu Yao, and Wen Cangfang realized that before they knew it, the day had gone from early morning to dusk.
Youwei said: "This Xiangzhou City has no banquet for the Spring Banquet, what can Lord Xu entertain?" ”
Xu Dadao: "There are still a few good cooks in the lowly mansion, although they can't be compared with the peerless skills of Gongsun Auntie, but they are still quite good." If the eldest princess, the concubine and the prince can come, then the humble position is really grateful to Dade. ”
Youwei said: "This palace has tasted the craftsmanship of Aunt Gongsun, but it can be regarded as a sea of water, and the banquet next to it has no intention of trying again." Thank you Lord Xu for your kindness, the palace is tired, so I will go back to the inn to rest. ”
Lord Xu said: "How can the eldest princess live in the inn?" It's not safe to have too many people and eyes. ”
Yu Yao said: "Lord Xu, don't worry, the princess will have no problem with our protection." If you move rashly, it will attract attention. ”
Lord Xu said: "What the master of the horse said is right, then the humble duty will give a ......"
Yu Yao interrupted him and continued: "Lord Xu, please stay, the more you pretend that nothing happens, the safer the princess and our others will be." ”
Xu Dadao: "I understand the lowly duty, and the lowly duty understands." And the lowly man stood here and watched. ”
As soon as the door of the hall opened, the master was startled outside, hiding next to him and not daring to say a word or look up.
I saw Youwei and the others swaggering out.
When they were far away, the master dared to poke his head into the house.
Lord Xu was still standing in place.
The master came into the house and called, "My lord! ”
Lord Xu loosened his body and said, "Today is a tired day, master!" ”
The master helped Master Xu to sit down, and asked while massaging hard, "Is it really the eldest princess and Yu Concubine?" ”
Lord Xu squinted his eyes, enjoyed the massage, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that your old thing is still of some use, your eyesight is really good." Reward! Although today's incident is not a big deal, if you don't recognize their identities at the first time, you will inevitably lose respect. ”
The master said: "The little one can't hear it very clearly outside, and the nobles seem to have mentioned today's case?" ”
Lord Xu: "Isn't it? Unexpectedly, this sinner woman was liked by the eldest princess, and she even had to bring her back to Bianjing to summon her. ”
The master said, "Then the adults will let them take people away?" ”
Master Xu: "I just said that you are useful, why are you confused again at the moment?" How can the laws of the state be abolished? It's just that Yu Yuma thought of a reason in advance and threw this case to the front of the emperor. The eldest son of the Yu family has a family history, and it really deserves its name. ”
When Lord Xu said this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Master Han, quickly, I will make a fold for the master, and I will quickly hand it to the imperial city tonight." Don't delay the time at that time, the eldest princess will blame me again, saying that I am not doing things well. ”
The master promised: "Don't worry, you can't make a mistake, the little one will go!" ”
After the master left, Lord Xu continued to close his eyes and recuperate, leisurely.
Over there, Youwei and the others met with Ha'er, who was watching the carriage's luggage, and returned to the Yunlai Inn together.
The shopkeeper saw that they had made a generous move earlier, and he was very enthusiastic when he came back this time, and greeted him with a smile and said, "How many guest officers are back again?" That's a good idea! The three upper rooms upstairs have been cleaned and are still empty, so the small ones will carry the luggage up again for you! ”
Yu Yao said: "The luggage is not laborious, little brother bother, please prepare a little tea and rice for a few of us to fill our hunger." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Understood! I'll send it to your house when it's ready!" After saying that, he rushed to the back kitchen to arrange.
Xi'er and Mi'er were guarding in secret, and Youwei, Yu Yao and Wen Cang gathered together to talk about today's events.
Yu Yao said: "Aunt Gongsun's matter can be regarded as good. In my opinion, we will leave for Beijing tomorrow. ”
Youwei said: "Help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west." Aunt Gongsun is still in prison now, so let's leave like this, isn't it too unrighteous? ”
Yu Yao smiled: "Righteous anger? Are you angry? Then you don't want your little life? ”
Wen Cang said: "Looking at the situation of today's trial, I'm afraid it's quite unusual, maybe I don't know what the inside story really is." ”
Yu Yao said: "It's not our business to try the case and save people, now the top priority is to return to the capital as soon as possible, delay the time, I'm afraid that there will be long nights and dreams." ”
Youwei said: "I think Wen Cang is right, there are so many strange witnesses today who want to put Gongsun Auntie to death, this thing must be unusual." ”
Yu Yao said: "When did the two of you become one country?" They have been speaking in unison since the morning, and now they are united against me. Let me ask you, which of the two of you has solved the case? If something happens, who can figure it out? Let's just say that if I don't have me today, you two can do it? ”
Youwei smiled: "You are naturally a hard worker, if you rescue Aunt Gongsun, you must let her thank you well and make a table of your favorite food." ”
Yu Yao waved his hand and said helplessly: "Everything we can do has been done, and now Lord Xu must have prepared the fold and prepared to hand it to the emperor." We should have set off on the same day and returned to Bianjing. In this way, you can intercede for Aunt Gongsun in front of the emperor in person. In the future, we will watch in Bianjing, no matter whether this case falls in Dali Temple or where, they will not dare to arbitrarily punish them. ”
