Ninety chapters
Lin Boqin was bumped into her arms, and she was caught off guard by holding her shoulders, and when she reacted to the warm fragrance of nephrite in her arms, she stiffened, and she was busy and let go of her hand, not knowing how to put it.
"Li Siniang, you are ...... again"
"Husband!" Chu Cheng was afraid that he would say too much, so she lowered her voice and was aggrieved, "Do you know that I'm sick?" My head hurts, it hurts so much. β
Gu Jingtong was also stunned by Chu Hui's sudden movements, and he wondered, "Weren't you good before?" β
Chu Cheng scolded Gu Jingtong in her heart, Huo Ying is as careful as a hair, if she finds something strange, she will definitely be in danger this time.
She buried her head tightly in Lin Boqin's chest, covering herself and almost out of breath.
"Husband, that night I pretended to be the second sister of Chun and sat in the prison all night, maybe I suffered from the cold, but ...... But I didn't want you to be distracted, so I kept holding back. I can't help but ...... seeing you now," she bit her lip and continued, "With Master Huo here, this case will definitely come to light, and everyone will be fair." β
Chu Hui's words were full of tears, and her timbre gradually became hoarse, as if she was terminally ill.
Lin Boqin still wanted to scold her, she couldn't be rude in front of Lord Huo, but when she heard her weak voice, she lost her temper in an instant.
The petite and slender woman leaned softly in his arms, and her delicate and white hands were tugging at his official uniform. It is as if the silk flower is attached to the tree, as if the duckweed is rooted in the soil, and there is no wandering journey.
Lin Boqin was stunned in his heart, and subconsciously raised his hand and supported Chu Cheng's arm.
"Husband, my head really hurts......"
In just one sentence, Lin Boqin could almost imagine Chu Cheng's pale and sickly face, and Chu Chu's moving wet eyes.
He looked at Huo Ying with a slight owe: "Neiko is unwell, rude and offensive, which makes Lord Huo laugh." β
Huo Ying had some impressions of this Li Siniang, remembering that this woman spoke frivolously, and she was a little unhappy in her heart. At this time, seeing her hugging Lin Boqin in front of so many people, and saying something numb, she was even more annoyed and didn't want to take a second look.
But he still has to give Lin Boqin a few thin noodles.
So he said in a deep voice: "In this case, Lord Lin will take care of Mrs. Zun first, and Yang La and I will wait in the county office." "There is no rush for the case to be reopened.
Lin Boqin was very grateful, and hurriedly said: "Go down to the official and go back quickly." β
Gu Jingtong looked at Lin Boqin and Chu Cheng who were far away, but he still didn't understand, Chu Cheng was still alive and well, and he couldn't even walk because he was sick in a blink of an eye.
Besides, aren't the two of them pretending?
Why did Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin's performance become more and more like a fake show...... Gu Jingtong frowned, if it weren't for Yang La's urging of him, he would still be standing in place in a daze.
Lin Boqin hired a carriage and prepared to send Chu Cheng directly to the hospital.
"I'll have Mabie and Twilight take care of you later."
Chu Cheng leaned on his shoulder sickly, and said "um", but he thought in his heart that as long as he stayed away from Huo Ying, it didn't matter where he went.
Thinking that he was clever and witty, he didn't recognize it after hanging in front of his master for so long, and he couldn't help but be complacent and proud in his heart.
She was too proud, and she didn't even hear Lin Boqin ask her.
Lin Boqin asked her, "Can you get into the carriage by yourself", asked twice in a row, Chu Cheng did not answer, Lin Boqin twisted his eyebrows, and subconsciously thought that Chu Cheng was already sick and even had difficulty walking, so he said "offended", and picked Chu Cheng up.
Chu Ji stiffened, grabbed Lin Boqin's placket, and pulled his official uniform crookedly, revealing the white collar inside.
Fortunately, she gritted her teeth and didn't blurt out scolding him, otherwise she would have been exposed if she pretended to be sick.
Chu Cheng knew that Lin Boqin would not be rude to her, so she relaxed and let him carry herself into the carriage and put her on a comfortable cushion.
"You go to the hospital first, and Dr. Xu will take care of you." Lin Boqin found a large pillow to cushion behind Chu Cheng, and easily removed a strand of sweaty hair on her cheek to her ear, "Mabi and Xidui will be here in a while." β
His fingertips were dry, scratching Chu Cheng's delicate skin, a little rough.
It was obviously winter, but Chu Cheng felt that it was stuffy in the carriage.
She raised her eyes and looked at the handsome man in a light green official uniform in front of her, and for some reason, she wanted to laugh.
"Lin Boqin, you won't blame me just now, will you?"
Lin Boqin was stunned: "What do you blame?" β
Chu Cheng pursed her lips, lowered her timbre, and said apologetically: "I held you just now because of a splitting headache, there is really no way...... After all, on the surface, I am your wife, and I can't hug others. You have a lot of adults, don't blame me for being rude. β
Her rash move just now, Lin Boqin will definitely feel strange when she looks back, it is better to explain.
Who knew that when Lin Boqin heard this, his face sank.
"Know that it is rude, don't do it again next time."
His voice was a little cold, and Chu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.
I'm really angry.
Chu Cheng muttered, pretended to have a headache, closed his eyes, and ignored him.
Lin Boqin's gaze fell on her face obscurely.
Chu Cheng only showed her fair side face, and she looked even more delicate with a delicate nose bridge, small cherry lips, and ...... Long eyelashes that flutter like butterflies.
How could anyone be so good-looking?
The moon is shy of flowers, and it is like a painting, which is about the same.
It's a pity...... The speech is extremely unpleasant.
Lin Boqin was angry in his heart, but he still pulled a thin blanket over her delicate body, and immediately turned around and jumped out of the carriage.
When he walked to the county office, Lin Boqin was still a little worried. What did Chu Cheng say, "I really have to hug him" and "I am his wife on the surface", obviously there is no problem with these two sentences, but Lin Boqin feels unbearable.
As for why it is unbearable, he does not want to go into details.
Outside the public hall, many onlookers had gathered. Wu Guangbi's entourage, who was arrested the night before, has been detained in the hall, and Xiao Xuan and Xie Luoying are there.
Governor Chen, Cai Gaoyi and other officials who accompanied the trial sat on the left and right sides of the court, and Huo Ying did not sit on the Eight Immortals chair in the middle, but stood next to the bill, looking through the confession of Old Man Cao before his death.
When he saw Lin Boqin arrive, he raised his hand and pointed: "Lord Lin, you will try this case." β
Lin Boqin was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward and bowed: "Since Lord Huo has agreed to retry this case, it should be you ......"
"Not necessarily." Huo Ying waved his hand to stop it, and said in a deep voice, "I'm a military attachΓ© and don't know anything about the trial process. This matter is to be heard by you with full authority, and I am in attendance, so without further ado, let it begin at once. β
He closed Old Man Cao's confession, handed it to Gu Jingtong, and asked someone to bring a chair and sit with Governor Chen.
Governor Chen suddenly sat on pins and needles, straightened his back, and gestured to Lin Boqin, telling him to hurry up and not delay.
Lin Boqin straightened the black veil on his head, walked to the chair behind the bill, rubbed the shocked wood, and directly asked Wu Guangbi's entourage in the hall: "On the day of the robbery, you mentioned the word 'Lord Cai', and you are obviously Lord Wu's entourage, how do you explain this?" β
The attendant gritted his teeth, still intending not to speak.
Gu Jingtong said in Huo Ying's ear at this time: "Master Huo doesn't know, this entourage is afraid that who raised the dead soldiers, and he has been arrested for two days, and he hasn't said anything." β
Huo Ying chuckled, stood up and said, "Let people speak, what's so difficult about this." β
He was in charge of the Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army, and he had captured countless Assassins over the decades, and he had never been speechless.
"If Lord Lin asks you anything, you answer honestly. Otherwise, I will do the same to those who instruct you. Huo Ying looked at his entourage with blazing eyes, and said coldly, "For example, if he uses your family as a threat, I can too; He threatens your life, and so can I. But if you explain clearly, I will protect your family, give you money, and maybe spare your life. β
Speaking of this, his eyes fell on Cai Gaoyi, who was in a cold sweat on the side.
The retinue wavered a little when he heard this.
The person in front of him is Huo Ying, the emperor's confidant, and the commander of Huo Da, who has dominated the officialdom for 30 years. With countless connections and superb means, he really couldn't hold on under torture...... And the person who directs himself is not as powerful as the other party.
Thinking of this, the retinue finally spoke.
He pondered: "Lord Huo can talk and leave his life behind." β
"Okay, you say."
Huo Ying pressed the hand on the bronze handle and quietly moved away.
The entourage glanced at Cai Gaoyi and said directly: "The mastermind is Cai Gaoyi Master Cai." β
Cai Gaoyi stood up when he heard this, pointed at him and scolded: "You are talking nonsense!" Who instructed you to spread rumors about your own officials? You-"
"Lord Cai!" Huo Ying interrupted him indifferently, with a stern expression, "I know that a military attache is above the public court, Hugh is noisy, you are so noisy, who has stepped on your tail?" β
"Lord Huo......"
Huo Ying didn't look at him at all, but at his entourage and motioned for him to continue.
The entourage didn't know if he could pick up a life if he confided the truth, but if he didn't say that he would die, he said that there was still a chance, so it was better to gamble.
Thinking of this, he said: "Actually, Lord Lin has guessed the ins and outs of the case, my brother and I are the dead soldiers planted by Lord Cai next to Lord Wu. Lord Cai and Lord Wu have always been harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, Lord Cai feels that Lord Wu is incompetent, only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and is not worthy of sitting in the position of supervising the imperial history, and is favored by Master Chen. Although Lord Cai often sycophants of Master Chen, he is always a head short of Lord Wu, and Lord Wu likes to admonish him, and in the long run, Lord Cai has a grudge against Lord Wu. β
Cai Gaoyi almost wanted to crush a mouthful of teeth, and he was about to refute, but Huo Ying glared at him fiercely.
The entourage said: "Lord Wu has been secretly looking for a woman named 'Second Sister Chun', and on the way to Wangzhou, he arrested Second Sister Chun and interrogated him for a day and a night. β
"What is Wu Guangbi doing when he catches Second Sister Chun?" Lin Boqin asked in a deep voice.
The attendant shook his head: "Lord Wu will take us away, there is no way to know." I only know that later Lord Cai quietly let the second sister of Chun go, and the two joined forces to create this case. He paused in a tone, "Lord Cai wants Lord Wu to die, Second Sister Chun wants Xiao Yu to die, and a month in advance, the two of them will design a trap." The second sister of Chun went to Youzhou first, found her old friend, and invited Xiao Qi to enjoy the snow under the pretext; and then imitated Feng He's handwriting, leaving books and borrowing swords. Everything went smoothly, but I didn't expect Feng He to be poisoned. β
Lin Boqin said coldly: "Feng He is tolerant of poison, but Second Sister Chun has miscalculated. β
The attendant smiled bitterly and said, "At the same time, Lord Cai instigated Lord Wu to go to Cuihong Courtyard. The grain and oil shop opposite Cuihong Courtyard was opened by Old Man Cao, the life-saving benefactor of Second Sister Chun, who knew that his grandson died at the hands of Xiao Xuan and promised to help. Therefore, after the second sister of Chun killed Lord Wu with Xiao Xuan's sword, she could escape immediately, leaving no trace. β
"Old man Cao was later arrested, and Lord Cai was inevitably troubled, and ordered me and my brother to kill him, and notified Second Sister Chun to leave Wangzhou immediately overnight. Unexpectedly, the 'Second Sister Chun' was arrested and imprisoned again in the near future, and Lord Cai was in a mess, and hurriedly asked us to let the 'Second Sister Chun' go overnight, or kill her directly...... I robbed the prison that night, and I fell into the trap of Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin, and killed my brother......"
Lin Boqin said plainly: "Helping to abuse is self-inflicted." β
The entourage lowered his head and was silent for a while: "That's all I know below." β
Cai Gaoyi couldn't bear it anymore, and he slapped the table with a "bang": "Crazy words!" I'm afraid that the official will offend someone, so I let you pour dirty water on the official! β
He turned his head to look at Huo Ying, Governor Chen, and the others, and said sharply with a straight face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this person killed Old Man Cao and wanted to rob the prison, which is obviously not a good thing!" His words alone cannot be trusted at all! As we all know, Lord Lin's wife and this Xie Luoying are best friends, and Lord Lin has a relationship with Xiao Xu, maybe this nonsense is a tainted witness deliberately found by Lord Lin! β
Lin Boqin's face sank: "Lord Cai is still trying to quibble? β
Cai Gaoyi dusted off his sleeves and twisted his head high: "This official will not quibble. kept saying that this official cooperated with the second sister Chun in the case, but you found evidence? Just based on what this person said, he wanted to slander his official and take the crime, but there was no door! β
He made up his mind not to admit it, and in the absence of evidence, it was really tricky.
Huo Ying glanced at him and asked, "In addition to this entourage, does Lord Lin have other human and physical evidence?" β
Lin Boqin's heart was shocked, and he was thinking about how to answer, when he heard a bewitching smile suddenly come from outside the court: "Yes, of course there is." β
Everyone followed the prestige to the outside of the court, but they saw a beautiful woman in red clothes with a plump body, walking towards this side on crutches. Under the cloud-like skirt, there was only one foot, and the other side was empty, and it was a disability.
Cai Gaoyi looked at the comer, his liver and gall were broken, his knees were weak, and he sat down on the chair, and his soul was scared away.
He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at the other party: "Spring...... Second Sister Spring! You've thrown yourself into the net! Crazy, you're crazy! β
