Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mackerel Fish
Chun Dashan asked Han Wuxing to borrow a guard, sent Chun Tuyi and Guo'er home, and followed him to the county office. In the end, he can't leave the lady behind.
After Chun Tu arrived home, Xu heard that something had happened to Linshui Building, first gloating with a look of schadenfreude, and then thinking of his own husband to worry about other women, he was extremely dissatisfied. With a gloomy face, he slammed the door and entered the East Room.
Chun Tu didn't bother to pay attention to her, and didn't even offer a word of persuasion, and went straight back to the room. Xu's appearance is not pleasing, he is always a little cowardly, and he rarely uses his eyes to look at people, and his face sank at this time, and his original seven-point posture is not even three points.
I didn't eat lunch, I didn't have the heart to eat dinner, and I didn't wait until the end of the unitary hour (seven o'clock in the evening) when it was completely dark, and Chun Dashan entered the house. According to this time, he must have stayed until the yamen was closed, and he stayed in the prison for a while before returning. But even if Chun Dashan comes back, she, who is a daughter, can't directly pull people away, after all, Xu and he are husband and wife, and he still goes back to the East House first.
"Let's go set the table." Resisting the chill of the early winter night, Chun Tu opened the window, and after eavesdropping on the murky noise about the door for a while, she said to Guo'er, "I guess it's almost too much." ”
"I've never seen such a painless person." Guo Er muttered, "My husband has been running outside for a day, how tired he is, and he doesn't get some hot rice and soup, even if he wrives a hot hand towel to wipe his face." ”
"Mrs. is playing with my father, isn't it because my father is in charge of Mrs. Fang's affairs? I am jealous and sour. Chun Tu knocked on Guo Er's head, "She's stupid to do this." If it were me, I would be waiting for me with good food and tea, and I would not put on a face, so that the man would know that he was committed to perfection but he was particularly knowledgeable, and he would love her more in the future. ”
Actually, she understands Xu in this matter. No woman has a good impression of her man's confidante. But on the other hand, when the family is in trouble, Fang Niang spares no effort to help, and this idea of gratitude is also a must for life. It's okay to be careful, and it's time to score, isn't it? Kindness is reciprocated, and revenge is also necessary, isn't it? In life, everyone has to endure something they don't like, not to mention that Chun Dashan is a decent person and will never mess with flowers and grass outside. Helping Fang Niangzi is also a matter of being on the surface, and there is nothing sneaky. As a wife, she should be trusted.
"Miss wise." Guo'er patted a sycophant, "Otherwise, wait a minute, it's cold, and the hot meal will be cold." ”
"Put it on, my wife just changed the way to make my father pay attention to her, and I don't dare to go too far. If it's really endless, I'll call my dad outside the east house, and I'm going down the stairs for my dad. Otherwise, depending on his wife, her temper will have to grow in the future. ”
"We'll have to ask my wife to give us some money. The old lady obviously said that she had not opened the stove for the past two days, and bought it all from outside. The old man came back late, so he kept eating with the young lady. Although it is necessary to honor the father, it is not possible to cheapen the wife. Guo Er said as he ran out.
Chun Tu Yu waited for a while, and saw that the meal had been placed in the hall of the main house, but Chun Dashan had not come out yet, so he walked to the courtyard and said loudly, "Dad, the rice has been heated once, and if you don't eat it again, it will be cold again." You've always had a bad stomach, and if you have an old illness, you're in trouble. ”
In the east room, there was a faint sound of hypocrisy. But as soon as she spoke, the voice snapped. Soon after, Chun Dashan came out with a troubled face, and was a little embarrassed to see his daughter, and seemed to be holding back his temper without attacking.
Chun Tu Yu pretended not to see it, and only pulled Chun Dashan to the main house, "Dad, hurry up, today is the meal I cooked with Guo'er, scrambled eggs with leeks, and lamb meatballs with laiphane soup, drink it hot, but you can catch the cold." "Raphane is a radish, in the previous dynasty, a monk planted it, and sent it to the palace as a tribute. It was vigorously planted in this dynasty and gradually became a home-cooked dish for the people.
Seeing that his daughter didn't seem to know about the quarrel between him and the Xu family, Chun Dashan relaxed a little. Before Guo'er had lit a charcoal basin in the main house, at this time he picked up the cotton door curtain, as soon as he entered the house, he felt hot in his face, and drank the hot soup, even the Hu cake was broken into a small piece by his daughter and soaked in the soup, after a while, Chun Dashan's whole body was warm, and his mood was better.
After eating, Guo'er put away the dishes, and the two of them sat at the table and talked.
"Fang Niangzi's matter ......," Chun Tu asked in a hesitant voice.
Chun Dashan sighed, "The young Shangguan who looks a little thin today is none other than Dali Sicheng, Lord Kang Zhengyuan Kang of the Heavenly Patrol Prison. Fang Niangzi was unlucky, this kind of murderous thing happened, and it happened to be encountered by Lord Kang! ”
Chun Tu Yu had already recognized Kang Zhengyuan, so he was not surprised, and only asked, "Does he have to deal with it strictly?" ”
Modern Chinese law is redefined and sentenced lightly, that is, the qualitative is particularly strict, and judges have a certain degree of freedom in sentencing. But in ancient law, the judge had more freedom to characterize the case, because it was necessary to consider the law and etiquette. For a case, if there is a difference in characterization, the final result is simply far from the same. So, it's especially important.
Chun Dashan shook his head, "Lord Kang did not go to court for trial today, but has been listening to the confession in person. He interviewed the first batch of important witnesses individually. Because Lord Han was on the side, I was also there, but I listened to it...... I think the other party's lady is very disadvantageous. ”
"What did you say?" Although Chun Dashan was allowed to be present when Kang Zhengyuan questioned the case, Chun Tu Yu felt weird, but her attention to this case was beyond the rest, so she automatically ignored this subsection.
Except for Zhao Laoqi, who died, the rest of the customers who vomited and felt unwell had the same symptoms. Dr. Wen carefully examined them and concluded that they were indeed food poisoning. It's just that the degree is not deep, take a few doses of detoxification decoction, and you will be fine in a few days. Chun Dashan told Chun Tu Yu in detail, since his official affairs, he unknowingly took this fourteen-year-old daughter as the backbone.
"Is it the fish soup?" Chun Tu asked again.
"Exactly. Because none of the guests who had eaten the fish soup had any symptoms of poisoning. And among those vomits, no other strange things were found, including Zhao Laoqi's vomit. ”
"Did you find poison in the kitchen?"
"Nope. The kitchen is very clean and all kinds of condiments have been checked. The fish soup was made by Fang Niangzi herself, and the flower pot containing the soup had a lid on it, which could only be lifted when it was sent to the table, and when the guy served it all the way, it was impossible to have a chance to poison it. Chun Dashan frowned, "So, nine times out of ten, there is a problem with the fish." ”
"There is a problem with the fish, if Fang Niangzi doesn't know, she is not guilty of a big crime, at most she will be fined." When Chun Tu heard this, he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw that Chun Dashan was still very worried, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and asked, "Is there any other situation?" It stands to reason that you should check the fish sellers. Or, the crux of the question is: Does Fang Niangzi know that there is a problem with the fish? ”
The most important difference between the laws that speak of human rights today and the laws of ancient times that do not talk about human rights is that modern law assumes innocence, that is, the inference of innocence, before confirming a crime. Therefore, the defendant is called a criminal suspect. In the ancient law, the first assumption that the defendant was guilty was inferred from guilt, so it was called a human offense. For a lawyer or lawyer, of course, it was more difficult to do it in an ancient environment.
"You don't understand because you don't know the ingredients for hibiscus fish soup." Chun Dashan patiently explained, "Most people use river fresh to make fish soup. Because the fish in the sea are fishy, and they have been caught on the shore for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be alive. To make sea fish, most of them are roasted or fried, or steamed, the taste of the lady is to make soup with sea fish, but it is more delicious than the fresh fish of the river, not to mention the slightest fishy, and the fragrance of flowers, the taste is strong. Otherwise, why is this fish soup so expensive and famous? Moreover, Fang Niangzi still uses pickled fish. ”
"Where's the fish? We're not near the sea. "In modern times, Chun Tu did not love seafood, and after crossing, he still had no love, so he did not study eating fish.
"It's mackerel. Two or three hundred miles away from us, there is a small town by the sea that transports military rations. Nearby, the South Canal, the North Canal and the Yongji Canal meet, called Sanhui Haikou, there are always fishermen selling pickled mackerel. Originally, I didn't understand it, but when Lord Kang asked about the case, I learned that although this fish tastes delicious, you should be extra careful when cooking fish, because if you don't handle it well, it will poison the fish eaters, especially the meat on the back of the fish. ”
Chun Tu was stunned, isn't this similar to eating puffer fish?
On the other hand, it will be more difficult for Fang Niangzi to prove herself. If someone framed or poisoned her, it would be easier to shirk the blame, but if it was her mistake that caused the death of the diner, the matter could be big or small, depending on how the judge gave it. After all, this fish soup has been sold for so many years without an accident, how could there be a problem all of a sudden? If someone with a heart takes advantage of this and thinks that Fang Niangzi knows that she needs to cook carefully but there is a problem, and she has subjective responsibility and relies on negligent murder, then it is really difficult to argue.
"Dad, Mrs. Fang's situation is not good. We...... Want to help her? Chun Tu thought about it and finally asked.
Chun Dashan was very entangled and couldn't speak for a while.
Fang Niangzi had a relationship with him for six or seven years, and at the beginning it was just a tenant and the landlord, but after getting along, they found that they had similar temperaments. Although she is a woman, she is bold and generous, sincere and courteous, very temperamental to him, and has helped each other a lot, which can be regarded as a lot of things together. Once, there was no emotion between them, but Fang Niangzi was always like a part, and never mentioned her past. He is not a stalker, and he feels that others have something unspeakable, so he never touches it again, and only gets along with him as a friend. Later, there was Xu, and he didn't think about anything else at all.
