Zhou Hong lived in the cell of Dali Temple for too long, even if the jailer did not have anything to spoil him, Yu Ge Lao also sent someone to take care of him, and lived in a single room, but the damp and dark cell life was still too bad, and the results of the third trial of Dali Temple were not ideal, and his mood has been in a depressed situation recently. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Ye Zhiqing's arrival made him see the sunshine, and he also had a little more confidence in tomorrow's triage of the three divisions, and his appetite was great.

"Ye Zi, since the saint allowed you to visit the prison, and I know that you are carrying my child in your belly, then I am relieved"

"What kind of mentality do you have?" Ye Zhiqing couldn't cry or laugh, she was in prison, and she couldn't lose her desire for exclusivity.

He took a big bite with his elbow in his arms, and his eyes were full of smiles: "A man's mentality!" My daughter-in-law is too smart and capable, and I really don't feel at ease when I go out, even if I go out one day, my daughter-in-law will be abducted by others. ”

If it was before Ye Zhiqing came, he didn't have so much confidence in the trial of the three divisions, and he still didn't dare to say that he could still leave the cell of Dali Temple.

Gong Jiang followed Ye Zhiqing to Beijing, but Yu Ge didn't interfere in this matter, with the ability of Ye Zhiqing and Zhou Hao, relatives and friends were probably offended in the salt reform, even Liu Han never came to visit the prison, he was really not optimistic about his future.

But hearing Ye Zhiqing's persistence and hard work during this time, entering the palace alone to regulate the body of the saint was not for him in the final analysis.

Zhou Hong tore a piece of soft tendon on the sauce-flavored elbow and fed it to her, full of guilt: "It's all my fault, you don't know if you're pregnant, forget it, and let you risk it for me." What do you see how thin you have become? ”

Ye Zhiqing was not a mellow girl, pregnant and overly worried, she was restless day and night in the palace, a delicate face was thin with only a pointed chin and big eyes, looking at the little more invisible Chu Chu pitiful, which caused Zhou Hong's heart to be blocked for a while.

She touched Zhou Hong's face distressedly: "Brother Hong, you have also lost a lot of weight, the food in the cell is not delicious, right?" Wait until tomorrow, and the three divisions will be able to come out after the triage, and when the time comes, I will accompany you to eat more delicious food in Beijing, and I will make up for it! ”

Both of them are full of expectations for the future, and they always feel that the time to get together is not far away.

Zhou Hong was still a little worried: "What if the saint refuses to let you out of the palace?" ”

Ye Zhiqing touched her belly proudly: "The saint refuses to let me out of the palace, do you want to keep me in the palace to give birth?" There is no precedent for this. Besides, I'm pregnant now, if I feel uncomfortable, when you come out, I will naturally hand it over to you and let you take care of me. ”

"Don't come nonsense!" Zhou Hong hurriedly put down the elbow of the sauce, eager to pull her to teach her a lesson: "You are still pregnant with a child in your belly, you can't fool around, what if you hurt the child and you?" ”

The little girl has always had big ideas, and since he knew her, he has seen her boldness and intelligence countless times, and because of this, he is afraid that she will make random decisions by herself.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Ye Zhiqing leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid it will be too late if I don't get out, I didn't want to tell you, I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry." Now think about it or tell you as well, sage...... is old, although I have been recuperating well for the time being, and his body looks to be improving, but in fact, the foundation is already empty, and he can't withstand the stimulation of anger, fatigue and wear, but do you think the saint can listen to the persuasion and leave everything to His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

It is said that those who are officials love power, and those who are emperors are even more so, and they are used to calling for wind and rain, where can they tolerate empty hands.

Zhou Hong was shocked: "...... Are you telling the truth? ”

Ye Zhiqing nodded, and was about to tell him the true condition of the saint's body in detail, when he suddenly heard someone next door knocking on the wall: "My lord! Lord Zhou, what is so fragrant, please give some reward to the lower officials, saliva is going to come down......"

"Why does it sound like it's surnamed Joe?"

When she was in Yangzhou, Qiao Liping also found her trouble, sealed her medicinal food workshop, and the two exchanged hands, so Ye Zhiqing was still quite impressed by this Lord Qiao, and when she heard this voice, she felt incredible: "No, right?" Dali Temple locked the two of you in a connected cell, and you are not afraid of collusion? ”

Zhou Hong: "I want to, but Master Qiao and I are really not all the way, so if we can't talk about it, I won't force him!" ”

There was a continuous beating sound on the wall next door: "Lord Zhou, you can't eat alone because of the triage of the three divisions tomorrow, the lower official eats and drinks the same food and water in the cell as you, and he has been hungry for several months, so I beg my lord to reward the lower official for a bite of meat for the sake of working together in the past." ”

Ye Zhiqing really didn't expect that the thickness of this Lord Qiao's skin was comparable to that of the city wall, and he could really do something to beg for food, he was reunited after a long absence, and was surprised to see that Zhou Hong's thin weight was almost out of shape, and his sad emotions were all disturbed by Qiao Liping, and he almost laughed: "This Lord Qiao is really ...... Can bend and stretch! "The trial can bite people, and the prison can beg for meat, he is a character!

Zhou Hong has never seen such a thick-skinned person, he has been neighbors with Qiao Liping for more than two months, and he has heard his theory of being an official several times, and he treats the people like ants, and he actually has his own set of shameless political system, and he can't wait to squeeze the last two taels of oil in the bones of the people, just to make political achievements and get to the officials, he is simply a scum among the officials, shameless.

But if you really want to refute him, you can't clean this person's heart and liver even if you wear out your mouth, so more often you can only pretend to be dumb.

This gave Qiao Liping an illusion, whether it was the result of the trial or Zhou Hong's silence, he felt that he had knocked this young and proud boss down in the mud, and even stepped on his face several times to show his success as an official.

So as the final winner, he wanted to pat the table countless times in Yangzhou to tell the self-righteous young man many lessons, and at this moment he could not only retain his demeanor, but also tell him with a slight sense of superiority.

Qiao Liping even felt that Zhou Hong might regret the stupid actions he made countless times in his heart, he had to stubbornly change the salt, and he had to touch the big web that he had painstakingly woven for many years in the Lianghuai Salt Road, and finally became a fly that fell into the spider web, which might be devoured.

He felt a little pity for this young man, if he had listened to his advice more at the beginning, why would he have made such a big fuss and ended up in the field where he is now.

"My lord, let's enjoy the food!"

Ye Zhiqing originally wanted to say a few more intimate words to Zhou Hong, but she was troubled by Qiao Liping next door, so she pulled half a crispy chicken wrapped in oiled paper, pushed open the door of the cell to the next door, handed it to him, and said lightly: "Lord Qiao is rubbing the roast chicken in the imperial dining room today, and I don't know what to use to repay this meal in the future?" ”

Qiao Liping recognized the girl in front of him, and seeing that her abdomen was slightly bulging, he was willing to come to visit the prison, and brought the imperial food, and suddenly became vigilant in his heart: "You...... How did you get into the palace? "This kid won't be...... Saint's, right?

No, you can't!

How wise the saint is, how could the women in the palace be allowed to go out of the palace casually to visit the prison in Dali Temple?

His heart was suddenly in turmoil.

Ye Zhiqing pays attention to the results of the trial in Dali Temple every time, and she is by the side of the saint, every time Tong Wenyi enters the palace, as long as she has the heart, she can say a few words to him.

She deliberately ran to send half a chicken to Qiao Liping, but it was not to disturb his mind, so she sold a pass: "Master Qiao has insight into the nuances, and if you think about it, you will definitely be able to guess how I entered the palace." Adults use it slowly, and I have to accompany Brother Hong. ”

She walked lightly to the next cell, leaving Qiao Liping full of unanswered questions, extremely irritable.

Zhou Hong heard her words in the cell, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a knowing smile: The little girl is still so naughty!

She seems to have a trait, no matter how many things she has passed, it seems that she can't be overcome, she can't be defeated, she can always do her best to cross the past, and work hard to live, even in the dark cell of Dali Temple, she has never lost her enthusiasm for life.

On the second day, the trial of the three divisions of the salt reform case was carried out in Dali Temple, and the sage sent the prince and the three princes to supervise, and there were three divisions of the chief trial officials, and the scene was very grand.

Everyone understands that the triage of the three divisions is the final characterization of this sensational case, whether it is Zhou Hong or Qiao Liping, it is the last chance.

Ye Zhiqing brought a change of clothes to Zhou Hong during his prison visit yesterday, although he lived in the cell of Dali Temple, but the crime was undecided, the official body was still there, although he did not wear an official robe and hat, he was not wearing a prison uniform, but his regular clothes.

Today, he was dressed very energetically, his hair was combed, his beard was handed over by the jailer's waist knife, his whole body was full of neat energy, his eyebrows were heroic, and when he passed through the hall with shackles, many officials in the hall, as well as the crown prince and the third prince, could imagine the demeanor of the young general who pacified the Japanese in the East China Sea.

On the other hand, Qiao Liping was disturbed by Ye Zhiqing's half of a chicken and a few words last night, and he didn't sleep well all night, he was already wearing a prison uniform, and he had lived in the cell for almost half a year, and the humid air made his joints almost rusty. He is not young, and when he gets up and walks this morning, he feels the sound of his bones and his joints.

He walked with a bit of a rickety posture, obviously Dali Temple had an advantage in the three trials, but today he lost a lot to Zhou Hong in terms of momentum, which made the officials in the hall who had high hopes for him a little disappointed.

However, when the trial was opened, because the presiding judge was still Fu Jin, the secretary of Dali Temple, plus the imperial history of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the questions raised were all on the file, which was equivalent to asking the questions of the previous three court trials again.

Qiao Liping and Zhou Hong insisted on their own words, and both insisted on their original testimony.

The third prince chuckled: "This is really interesting, my father asked the emperor to detain Zhou Qianke and return to Beijing to defend himself, but he and Qiao Liping did not give in to each other, there must be someone between these two who is lying, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" ”
