(14) Attack
"Emperor Qi, it is well known that Lord Nalian acted recklessly in his department, abused lynching, and tortured prisoners into tricks, and it is well known that there are such brutal officials in our Yu country, which is really a disaster for the people."
In the blink of an eye, it was more than half a month, and Lian Qingjue walked around the ghost gate again, but was let back by the king of Hades.
The spring of Yuguo has arrived, the weather is getting warmer, people have taken off their cotton clothes and heavy clothes, and put on light spring clothes, but even Qingjue is still pale, wrapped in a thick cloak, standing on top of the court.
"Everybody knows? Could it be that the Prime Minister asked me one by one the people of Yuguo? ”
Lian Qingjue held his hands and looked at Cai Yong, who was standing aside with a smile and counting his crimes.
"Hmph, don't even quibble anymore, this is an autopsy record, Wu Jingtang and Lord Wu have countless wounds on his body after his death, whip wounds, burns, and stick wounds, what is this not an abuse of lynching?"
Cai Yong snorted coldly and presented a scroll with both hands.
"Heh, the prime minister has forgotten where I am?" Lian Qingjue coughed lightly and said slowly: "Ordinary county officials interrogate and train prisoners, and they are still whipped with sticks and whips, how come they come to the lower officials, and it becomes an abuse of lynching?" Besides, what did Wu Jingtang confess? If so, why don't the officials know, but the prime minister knows? If not, how can this crime of being beaten into a confession be placed on the head of the lower officials? ”
"You ......"
"What Lian Qing said is reasonable, Prime Minister, how do you explain this?"
After listening for a long time, Feng Yusheng finally spoke, stared at Cai Yong, and said.
"Even if the punishment can be moved, is there a suspicion that even the adults have done it? Then Wu Jingtang may not have been able to stand the torture of Du Xingsi before he broke himself. ”
Cai Yong stared at Lian Qingjue coldly.
"Wu Jingtang is dead, how did the Prime Minister know that he was impatient to torture and died? And not to be commanded to die? ”
Lian Qingjue's expression remained unchanged and said.
"In your place where you are in charge, is it possible that he can still be instructed by outsiders?"
"That's not for sure, a few days ago, I found a few people, but because the lower officials were sick, I haven't been to see them, and now that I'm in good health, I want to take the time to see them."
"So what, who knows ......"
"That's enough."
Listening to the comings and goings of the two people in the main hall, Feng Yusheng couldn't help but pat the case and said: "If you want to convict people, you need to have real evidence, Prime Minister, I don't think I need to teach you this truth." ”
"Yes."
Although Cai Yong was resentful, he knew that this time it was Lian Qingjue who had the upper hand, so he didn't say too much.
"Lian Qing, since the prime minister pointed out your fault, even if there is no mistake, I should give you a wake-up call."
"Yes."
Lian Qingjue bowed and replied.
"Then if nothing else, let's retreat."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Hmph, even the adults are so clever."
"Not as good as the Prime Minister."
Senselessly, he watched Cai Yong throw his sleeves away, and Lian Qingjue walked out of the hall slowly.
"Are you really okay?"
Gu Caizhi followed Lian Qingjue's footsteps and asked.
"It's alright, it's okay."
Lian Qingjue didn't stop, and the two walked side by side towards the outside of the palace.
"I still have some good ginseng bird's nest there, and I'll send someone to send it to you when I get back to the house later."
"I said, Master Gu, you are so interested in Lian during this time, but you like Lian?"
Looking at the sedan chair waiting for him not far away, Lian Qingjue stopped and stared at Gu Caizhi.
"Again, no."
Gu Caizhi frowned.
"It's just ......"
"Fellowship."
Lian Qingjue pursed his lips.
"I knew you would say that. I said, Master Gu, after so many days, can't you change your rhetoric? Besides, liking is liking, why don't you just refuse to admit that you like me? ”
"It's boring."
Gu Caizhi turned his head and said coldly.
"Could it be that you are shy?"
Lian Qingjue approached Gu Caizhi and said with a smile.
"Even my lord, this is the palace gate after all, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty come and go, you still need to pay attention to some proportions, don't be found by the prime minister again."
Gu Caizhi lowered his voice and reprimanded softly.
"Hehe, I'll just think this is also your concern for Lian." Lian Qingjue gathered his cloak and walked away slowly, "What a duplicitous person." ”
"Who do you say is duplicitous?"
Gu Caizhi was displeased.
"Who Master Gu thinks is who he is."
Lian Qingjue threw down a sentence lightly, and walked away slowly with pace. Gu Caizhi stood there, watching Lian Qingjue's increasingly thin body wrapped in a thick cloak, and a sense of pity and distress naturally rose in his heart.
……
"Childe is back?"
As soon as he got off the sedan chair, Lian Qingjue saw Lian Pu sending people to move boxes of unknown things to the house.
"Uncle Park, what is this?"
"This is sent by Master Gu, all of them are bird's nests, ginseng, deer antler velvet and so on, all of which are great supplements. Childe really has to make up for it, and he has lost a lot of weight after being sick for so many days. ”
Lian Pu watched his son-in-law's complexion getting better day by day, and said happily.
"Oh."
Lian Qingjue returned to the bedroom, but saw that on the bookcase, there was a sachet with extremely delicate workmanship, which was about to put some medicinal herbs, and wisps of light but smellable medicinal fragrance emanated from the sachet.
"What is this?"
"Hui Gongzi, this is sent by Mr. Cui Jiuling Cui."
was puzzled, but Lingju, the maid beside Lian Qingwan, walked in with a few blooming peach blossoms.
"Cui Jiuling?"
Lian Qingjue sat down, thought about it for a while, and said, "Oh, it's the head of the Red Jubilee class?" ”
"Yes. This was sent by Mr. Cui to congratulate Gongzi on his physical recovery. ”
"Look at it and give me a salute in return." Lian Qingjue nodded, "Why didn't you follow Ah Wan today?" ”
"Miss, she went out with Liu Gongzi to enjoy the flowers, and Lingju naturally didn't dare to disturb her."
Carefully inserting the peach blossoms into the vase on the table, Lingju blessed the body.
"Childe."
As he was talking, Fan Yao suddenly walked in.
"Childe, Lingju retired first."
"Yes."
"How's it going?"
Gently stroking the bright petals on the branches, Lian Qingjue asked.
"This ......" Fan Yao hesitated for a moment, "Childe should go and see it for himself." ”
"Huh?"
Lian Qingjue looked up at the expression on Fan Yao's face that wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, he said, "Let's go." ”
