Chapter Twenty-Three: Let's Go to Dinner
As he spoke, he held a stack of pamphlets in both hands, but saw that his hands were still stained with fresh ink. It should have been inadvertently smeared on his hands after he had just been writing hard in the crowd.
Somehow, Xu Chu suddenly looked at Xiao Qinglang, he was ready to try the case when the case was solved?
She thought that she was the first to get a glimpse of the case, but she didn't want Xiao Qinglang to be prepared for it. She pursed her lips slightly, and suddenly a trace of inexplicable sourness suddenly appeared in her heart. I can't tell if it's because of Xiao Qinglang or because of the Wu family.
The sun on the horizon completely rose, dispelling the coldness of the mountain stream, and at the same time dispelling the fear and fear that had been pressing on the hearts of dozens of families in Liulin Village for more than 20 years.
In an atmosphere full of depression and solemnity, Xiao Qinglang looked at the people on the ground who were kneeling or paralyzed and said coldly: "Even if you are wronged, you should not disregard human life. Although the situation is understandable, in the final analysis, for your own selfishness, the entire Yunzhou City is panicked, and it has almost become a dead city. His feelings are exhortatory, but his sins are unforgivable. "It's rare, he has always been cold and his face is a little heavy," Li Rongniang, the fact that Li Yong killed the two was conclusive, and ordered the government to take him into custody first, and later report the case to the Criminal Department for review. However, Wu Song and his wife committed murder, and the capital crime could not be escaped, so they ordered the government to take them into custody and announce the verdict after the arrival of the new prefect. ”
When the words fell, he looked at Sun Xing again, unhurried but in a sonorous tone, and said: "Sun Xing, the imperial court allowed you to ask for your life for the people, but you colluded with Li Dai Taozhuang and slaughtered the people under your rule at will. Killed the people, secretly released several bandits, and brought disaster to the township, and the evil deeds were heinous and heinous. Such a person who is corrupt and perverts the law and disregards the lives of the people deserves to be punished by everyone. After that, he shouted angrily, "Wei Guang, Wei Yan, take down the people on the south bank and behead them to pay tribute to the spirit of the wronged in the sky......
Xiao Qinglang, as the king of Jing'an, commands the three legal divisions and the inner court, and is in charge of the world's prisons, so he naturally has the right to cut first and then play. At this time, his voice fell, and Wei Guang's hand was already falling with a knife, only to see Sun Xing, who was still quibbling just now, fall to the ground in a moment.
The sun shone on the earth, and Xu Chu only felt that Xiao Qinglang, who was standing against the light, was upright and cold. When the wind rises, the dead leaves in the mountains swirl and fall, but they bring a bright and sunny place. The wild grass dances in the wind, adding a bit of vividness in late autumn.
Suddenly, Xiao Qinglang turned his head sideways and smiled at her, which made Xu Chu only feel that flowers had bloomed in his heart, which made people's hearts palpitate and move. Inexplicably, she could only blush slightly and cast her eyes on the mountains in the distance.
Sometimes she can't tell her often rippling mood, as if the two of them have an extremely tacit understanding in solving the case. She is responsible for the autopsy reasoning, but he can send the relevant files in a timely manner, and can even control the overall situation in the first breath after the case is closed.
Just like the current Five Elements Demon Murder Case, if it is an ordinary time, even if she has solved the case, it is impossible to win the official to the prefect's grandson. Even if he will not only fold the Wu family up and down, but Xu will also explain his own life into this bottomless grievance.
But now not only is the result of the Wu family still leeway, but even the filthy officials were beheaded on the spot.
It's just that people's hearts are sinister, officialdom is complicated, and how many officials like Sun Xing are there, who can say clearly?
When the group returned to Yunzhou City, it was already past noon. Several people were on the ruins for autopsies and cases, and they were already tired. Xiao Qinglang is better, even though his robe is stained with dust and mud, his body is still as elegant as Laneige. In contrast, Xu Chu was much more embarrassed, his lips were chapped and painful, and there was some musty smell on his body.
Entering the backyard of the mansion, Xiao Qinglang glanced at her first and said with a smile: "Go back and take care of it first, and then come out to eat after cleaning up." ”
After that, he ordered Wei Guang to go down and prepare.
He rarely uses maids and mothers-in-law around him, and there are only two cronies and guards of Wei Guang and Wei Yan in ordinary times. After nearly twenty years of getting along, several people have already had a tacit understanding, Wei Guang is responsible for the clothes and food of the prince on the surface, and Wei Yan is in charge of the secret guards around the prince in private.
Xu Chu nodded in response, and after saluting respectfully, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Guang, and said with a smile: "Although Brother Wei is a little colder, he is also a decathlon, a rare good man." ”
Hearing her joke again, Wei Guang hurriedly waved his hand and blinked, and then looked at his prince's meaningful gaze very innocently. Hey, my lord, my subordinates really don't mean anything else, don't think about Aunt Chu's match.
As soon as he thought that Xu is prince would think about Miss Xu, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and then said smartly: "My subordinates will arrange meals immediately." ”
Such a break made Xu Chu's tiredness dissipate a lot, and he became much more lively. She saw Xiao Qinglang standing with his hands in his hands and looked over, and said in her heart that this King Jing'an is not as squeamish as ordinary royal relatives and nobles, no wonder the world says that he is the jade-faced king of Yama, and the iron mouth is decided.
The so-called iron-clad verdict does not mean that the case he sentenced cannot be overturned, but that any case that has passed through Xiao Qinglang's hands will never be unjust or wrongly convicted, so no one will overturn the case at all.
The warm water vapor in the room surged, and Xu Chu sighed and comfortably soaked himself in the hot water. After running around all day, it is really a blessing in the world to be able to enjoy it so comfortably. You know, when she is at home, in such weather, she can only heat a basin of water in a cauldron at most, and then simply scrub it before going to bed.
When she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then she heard an extremely cheerful voice shouting: "Hey, third uncle, just tell me, is it the case that Miss Xu of the Qian family's young lady murder case helped you solve the case?" ”
If the voice were a man, it would have been boring and noisy. But she was completely excited and excited between her words, and she didn't despise it in the slightest, so it felt much more pleasant when it fell on Xu Chu's ears.
She frowned with some doubts, when did there be a young lady in the house who could call Xiao Qinglang an uncle and nephew?
But since the other party mentioned herself, she simply didn't delay, hurriedly got up and wiped the water, and then put on the Luo skirt sent by Rui Niang.
But after a while, I heard someone knock on the door gently, and then I heard Xiao Qinglang's low and cold voice: "Miss Xu, can you clean up?" Wei Guang's carriage was already waiting outside the mansion. ”
Before Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, he heard the crisp voice outside and said excitedly: "Third uncle, it's really Miss Xu Chuxu......" Immediately after, I heard Xiao Qinglang scolding in a low voice, and then the woman's aggrieved explanation, as if she almost rushed open the door directly?
As soon as the door opened, before Xu Chu could stand firmly, he saw a delicate woman on the opposite side leaping behind Xiao Qinglang and looking at Xu Chu curiously.
"Hello Sister Xu, I'm Xiao Mingzhu, just call me Mingzhu." I saw that the jumping person grinned and showed a mouthful of crystal white silver teeth, looked at Xu Chu with a bright eye, and said happily, "No wonder the third uncle always hides you, if it were me, I would hide it, and I would be good-looking and would perform an autopsy to solve the case......"
At this time, Xu Chu saw the appearance of the person who came, and saw that the girl in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome but not coquettish, and her whole body revealed a cool and heroic spirit.
Listening to her words, Xu Chu thought quickly in his heart, and confirmed the identity of the person who came in an instant. She bowed slightly, "I've seen the Lord of Mingzhu." ”
It is rumored that among the princes and grandsons born to Xiao Qinglang, only one of them is the most favored, and that is the princess of Mingzhu, the concubine of the prince of Qi. Xu is very favored, so since she was a child, she is different from ordinary boudoir women, she is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor is she good at female etiquette, but since she was a child, she likes to dance knives and guns, but even if she is good at martial arts, she has never been blamed for half a sentence.
Now that I see it, it's really as hearty as rumored.
Xiao Mingzhu waved his hand and grabbed Xu Chu's arm, his apricot eyes were bright and bright, and his words were as crisp and lively as a yellow bird. If it is said that Xu Chu was generous and unrestrained before, then Xiao Mingzhu is so heroic.
"Sister Xu, don't salute, I don't love those vain. Why don't you tell me about the case of Qian's violent death and the murder case of the evil ghost? How do you know that the murderer is not alone? ”
Seeing Xiao Mingzhu pestering Xu Chu and chattering, Xiao Qinglang snorted lightly with some unclear semantics, "Sister Xu? Mingzhu, you don't have to make a mistake about the seniority, Miss Xu is friends with this king. ”
Seeing his Uncle Wang speak, Xiao Mingzhu's eyes were boneless, and the strange elf tried to shout: "Then call Aunt Xu?" Aunt Xu? ”
Come on, seeing her serious appearance, Xu Chu couldn't help but pestle his head, and said again and again: "If the county lord doesn't dislike it, let's call Sister Xu." ”
She didn't want to be called so old for no reason, how awkward it was to call another woman who was not more than twenty years old called her aunt.
As for Xiao Qinglang, the third uncle, Xu Chu doesn't have much feeling, the left and right people are serious blood relatives of eight hundred, and the generations are there, no matter how you call it, it won't be disobeyed, right?
Xiao Qinglang choked for a moment, and no longer continued the topic, but said with a smile: "Miss Xu investigated the case again and again last night, and she still hasn't ...... water."
"Hey, then let's hurry up and eat, just now I heard the third uncle say that Wei Guang seems to have prepared a carriage, just take me to taste the special food of Yunzhou City."
At this time, Xiao Qinglang's deep eyes looked at Xu Chu who was being pulled forward by Xiao Mingzhu, and he also smiled a little, and there was a hint of joy inexplicably.
Xu is because she has just taken a bath, Xu Chu has a faint soapy fragrance floating on her body, and her dry and white face is also a little more flushed, and there are some wet strands of hair stuck to her face, which makes her add a lot of attractive posture with her whiteness. This look fell in Xiao Qinglang's eyes, can't you bear to stagger your eyes?
