Chapter 220: A Familiar Charge
……
Linzhou Zuofu Qujing Park.
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households, always replace the new peach with the old charm. Bao Zhi transcribed the poem as he read it.
Bao Ya blinked her big eyes, and her beautiful eyes were full of admiration and admiration: "Miss, your talent is even more powerful than that of the eldest master." ”
Qiu Ju pursed her lips and smiled.
Zhu Xin took the two gnats woven by Zuo Di with bamboo leaves, and lay on the chaise longue in the study to play at home, and Mama Li looked at him with a smile.
Zuo Di's cheeks became thicker and thicker, and he was ashamed to accept the maid's praise for himself: "Where, where it is, occasionally rise." ”
A few days later is New Year's Day, when I first heard it, Zuo Di was still wondering, and later I learned that the New Year at this time is not called the Spring Festival, but called New Year's Day.
It is naturally good to stay in Linzhou to celebrate the New Year with his grandfather, but thinking of his eldest sister Zuo Chun, who stayed alone in Beijing, and his brother Zuo Chu, who was adrift in a foreign country, Zuo Di was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.
After Baozhi finished transcribing, he looked at it with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Does Miss still have any poems?" Make a few more songs, and wait until New Year's Day to hang them all in the house, and then call them shallow-eyed, saying that the young lady does not know how to write and ink. ”
Zuo Di rolled her eyes, what is this girl as a poem, radish and cabbage? Just pull it out of the ground? If you hadn't memorized 300 ancient poems back then, even if you held it for half a year, it would be enough to hold back one poem.
"Go, go, don't make a mess, the meaning will be done." Left Drop waved like a fly.
A few people were talking and laughing, and suddenly someone came to report.
"Is it Zuo Yunyun again?" The left dripper was not raised.
Since the incident of beating Xu Wei, although the two of them have not directly torn their faces, Zuo Di asked himself, it is enough to give her face.
But even so, she still wanted to come to visit from time to time, saying that she wanted to rebuild the old good, but she didn't know what evil she had fallen into.
Zuo Di scoffed: Pull it down, I haven't gotten along with you, what else to repair.
Qiu Ju went out to take a look, and only returned to the house after a while, her face was a little unpleasant: "Miss, it's the second gatekeeper who came to pass the word." The slave and maid used to talk to him, saying that if there was anything important in the house, remember to report it. ”
"Oh?" Zuo Di looked up, "But what happened?" ”
Qiu Ju shook his head: "He doesn't know what happened, he just said that an official came to the door, and he was vicious, saying that the second master had broken the law and wanted to take people away." ”
Zuo Di frowned: "It's going to be the New Year, why don't you stop asking people to stop?" Besides, Daddy is still in the house, is it Lord Du or who is coming to get people? ”
Qiu Ju didn't know, the little guy just secretly saw it, and Tu Qiuju's reward hurriedly came over to report the news.
Zuo Di stood up and sighed: "Before I went to Gengfeng, I mentioned the matter of the second uncle to my father, and I felt that something was wrong at that time. In the end, this trouble is still coming to the door. Let's go over and see what the second uncle has done. ”
Zuo Di is the daughter of the boudoir after all, and she knows that the control of women here is quite rigid, so she took Qiu Ju alone and quietly went to the front yard.
After arriving in the front yard, Rao is Zuodi was mentally prepared, but he was still startled by the battle in front of him.
That little guy really didn't lie, these officials are not fierce and evil.
The leader is not Lord Du Hongbodu, but a fat man with a fat head and big ears, wearing a purple official uniform.
Zuo Zhangheng stood opposite the fat man, his face unhappy.
Zuo Di's thoughts moved slightly, and he secretly thought in his heart: Purple official uniform, which can only be worn by officials above the third grade.
She glanced at Qiu Ju, and the two hid behind the corner of the wall, trying not to attract the attention of others.
The fat man had a wide forehead and narrow eyes, big shoulders and a round waist, and he was not very respectful to Zuo Zhang Heng, and said politely:
"Xia Guan is Zeng Yuan, the procurator of Chuanshi County, and is in charge of justice and supervision in Chuanshi County under the emperor's order. Now it has been reported that the prisoner Zuo Chengye sold illicit salt for huge profits, so the lower officials came to take people. Mrs. Zuo should know better than the lower officials how much of a crime this selling illicit salt is, and he won't shield his family and hinder the lower officials from handling the case, right? ”
When Zuo Di heard this, his pupils shrank and he was taken aback.
Selling illicit salt? Isn't this a crime that was listed against my father in my previous life?
How hard did it take her to pull her father out of the whirlpool of the court, and Kandi's attitude towards her father also changed greatly, how could she still make a fuss about selling illicit salt? And the second uncle who committed the crime?
Zuo Zhangheng was not surprised, as if he had noticed it earlier, but his face was extremely ugly.
He snorted coldly: "Lord Zeng is handling the case, and the old man shouldn't interfere." But the case is based on evidence, Zeng only said that someone reported it, but such a big crime as selling illicit salt is not something that can be decided by anyone who opens his mouth. I also asked Zeng to show physical evidence so as not to be criticized. ”
Zeng Yuan seemed to expect him to say this, but he didn't smile: "The person who reported this is really not just anyone, this person is a relative of the Zuo family!" Don't hide it from Mrs. Zuo, the person who reported it was the eldest son-in-law of the prisoner Zuo Chengye, Jiang Huai and Jiang Gongzi. ”
Zuo Di Silver Tooth bit secretly, sure enough, it was that miscellaneous crumb, I knew that he would do this, I should have killed him in the dark!
Qiu Ju felt the killing intent emanating from her master's body, and unconsciously shivered, and subconsciously moved carefully to the side.
"Ridiculous!" Zuo Zhangheng flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily: "Since he is the son-in-law of the Zuo family, why does he want to bite his own family back, Lord Zeng doesn't even doubt this?" ”
Zeng Yuan narrowed his small eyes and sneered: "Jiang Huai is also a showman, a serious reader. Naturally, we know what we can and can't cover. He said that selling illicit salt was an act that harmed the interests of the country, so he killed his relatives in righteousness. ”
Zuo Zhangheng was even more angry when he heard this: "What nonsense! Jiang Huai did not cultivate virtue, abused his wife and committed violence. Just sent someone to warn him a few words, and he actually bit back with a grudge. How can such a person believe his nonsense! Are you the one who does that? Is it like this? ”
Zeng Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he whispered gloomily: "Mrs. Zuo's words are biased, how the lower officials do the official is the matter of the lower officials, since you want to resign, you should resign more simply." Leaving the court early can still keep the name of the first generation. ”
His voice turned louder and he said in a loud voice: "Regardless of whether the evidence is true or not, you have to bring people back for interrogation before you can find out." Someone"
"Whoa!"
"Take Zuo Chengye out to the official and bring him back to the yamen!"
Steward Cheng beside Zuo Zhangheng saw a flash of light in his eyes, and he wanted to step forward.
Zuo Zhangheng couldn't hold back his anger and stretched out his hand to stop him, and said hatefully: "You can't directly conflict with him, that's really falling into a trap." ”
"But master, if they let them take people away, the second master will be so useless, sooner or later, he will be beaten into ......a trick," Steward Cheng said anxiously.
Zuo Zhangheng's face was cloudy, how could he not understand this truth? But if you let Steward Cheng take action to stop the official from taking people, the quasi-security officer surnamed Zeng will bite him into an accomplice, and there will be no room for him to turn around!
Zuo Di was furious, and when she saw the group of officials scattering and preparing to search the mansion, her clenched fists sparkled.
If she could, she would have wanted to rush out and burn the gang to ashes!
At this critical moment, a loud shout came from outside the door: "Master Zeng, slow down"
Hearing this, Zuo Zhangheng and the others all looked at the door......
