Chapter 11
The case of the flower thief was finally straightened out, but he couldn't quit yet.
Lin Boqin hesitated for a moment, asked Hu Yu to escort Liu Yuanwai's son out of the detention center, and asked Fang Shuangping to summon Wen Lanxin and Chu Cheng over.
Chu Cheng was boiling medicine at home, but before the medicine was drunk in his mouth, he listened to the words of Mao Bilai, and was immediately displeased: "He still wants to summon me for such a trivial matter?" ”
Mabie asked in a low voice, "What about ...... Then why don't the slaves and maids reject Fang Xiancheng? ”
Chu Cheng calmed down and put the medicine bowl down: "No need, I want to see how Lin Boqin decides the case." ”
When she arrived at the county office, Wen Lanxin was already present.
The son of Liu Yuanwai seemed to know that Lin Boqin was selfless, and he was kneeling on the ground and shouting that he was wrong.
Chu Cheng walked into the court, and many of them saw her for the first time, and their eyes lit up, and some of them also looked at Lin Boqin with eyebrows.
The last time she came over, Chu Cheng only glanced outside the public hall and didn't come in. At this time, standing on the bluestone slab of the plaintiff on the left, I saw the wooden couplets embedded on both sides of the lobby: "Deceive others as if you deceive the sky, do not deceive yourself; Bearing the people is the country, how can we bear it. Under the four characters of "Mirror Hanging", there is a screen of sea water towards the crane, Lin Boqin is sitting behind the three-foot law table in a cyan official uniform, and there are four treasures of the study, quiver, and startling wood on the table, which looks like it has a board and an eye.
Lin Boqin on the high platform didn't know why, and when he saw Chu Cheng walking against the light, he felt a little strange.
After all, the person under the hall is his wife.
Chu Ji and Wen Lanxin stood together, she looked around, and said, "What do you want to judge?" Please hurry up, don't delay me from drinking the medicine. ”
This was disrespectful, and everyone in the hall couldn't help whispering, most of them were jokes about how the county order handled "housework".
Lin Boqin was shocked, his face sank, and said, "The Wen family has already told Liu Yu about the crime of molesting the people's daughter, what else do you have to sue?" ”
"Lan Xin has already said what should be said, what can I say? My lord is deliberately tossing me! ”
Chu Ji rolled her eyes and replied.
Lin Boqin's face was very bad.
Now that the plaintiff has finished the charges and the defendant Liu Yu has confessed one by one, there is no need to continue such disputes. Lin Boqin asked the master to write down the court trial record, then threw down the order arrow, scolded Liu Yu with fifty boards according to the law staff, and released the person.
Chu Cheng came over, just said a few words, and delayed her to drink medicine, and her heart was naturally full of prejudice against Lin Boqin. Before leaving, he did not salute Lin Boqin like Wen Lanxin, but left directly.
Lin Boqin didn't think that she was becoming more and more rude day by day, and when he saw that she was leaving, he hurriedly got up and scolded: "Li Siniang! ”
Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she was now Li Siniang.
She didn't turn back, but looked down at the ground. I never thought that I happened to see a gilded hairpin on the ground, which was exactly the same as the one given to her by Mrs. Lin.
Chu Cheng bent down to pick up the gilded hairpin, and when she looked up, she saw Lin Boqin standing in front of her with a black face.
This is the first time in a few days that the two have faced each other like this.
"What do you have to do?"
Chu Cheng put the hairpin into her sleeve and looked at him with her arms crossed.
Lin Boqin didn't know what was wrong, he obviously had three chapters with Chu Cheng, but he always didn't see her as not abiding by the etiquette law.
After being silent for a while, he said: "Li Siniang, I don't want to discipline you more about other things, it's just that the court is not a foreign place, your name is my wife, and you should be more upright in your words and deeds." Just now, you have no court, doesn't it make everyone laugh? ”
Chu Ji's head grew when she heard these words, she couldn't understand that Lin Boqin looked young, but he was even more eloquent than the old lady in the palace!
"If Lord Lin thinks I'm embarrassed, he will leave me!" Chu Cheng was angry, glared at Lin Boqin, turned around and left.
Originally, she still liked this place in Qingyuan County, but it was too annoying to be a cheap husband, so Chu Cheng decided to slip away immediately tonight!
Immediately!
Lin Boqin didn't expect her to have such a big temper, and she got angry again when she said two words. Go back to the back hall and change into official clothes, and then follow. When he arrived at Lin's house, he first went to visit Mrs. Lin, and learned that Mrs. Lin had hired a carriage, and would return to Fengshui tomorrow, and said a few words to himself, and then went to find Chu Hui.
When I came to the backyard door, I saw that Xi Dui was watering the flowers, and Xi Du hadn't seen Lin Boqin for a long time, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Lord Lin, Lord Lin is back."
Xi Du hurriedly put down the kettle and saluted Lin Boqin.
Lin Boqin waved his hand, signaling that it was not necessary.
He looked at the closed door and paused, "Madame is inside?" ”
"yes, just came back."
Lin Boqin remembered that she hadn't drunk the medicine when she came to Yamen, so he asked, "She fell into the water today, is she okay?" ”
Xi Du was almost moved to cry when she heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord has a heart, if my wife knows that my lord cares about her so much, she will be very happy!" Last time, Mrs. waited for the adults to come back and have dinner together, and when the third watch was over, she and she also had adults in their hearts! Lin Boqin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that last time he returned late and quarreled with Chu Cheng. At that time, he still felt that Chu Cheng was unreasonable, but he didn't know that she was waiting for him all night......
Thinking of this, Lin Boqin was a little uncomfortable.
In fact, for so long, this lady has not caused trouble for him, after all, she was born in Yunzhou, has not gone to school, and knows very little about etiquette. Lin Boqin even felt that he was too strict with Li Siniang because of prejudice.
It just happened that the medicine was brought to him, and Lin Boqin took it: "Give it to me." ”
“…… Be. ”
Mabi handed over the medicine bowl and glanced at Twilight in disbelief.
Chu Cheng was secretly packing her luggage, and the next second the door was pushed open, and it was Lin Boqin who walked in with a medicine bowl.
Lin Boqin glanced at the burden she was packing, and his expression darkened instantly: "What are you doing here?" ”
Chu Cheng didn't expect it to be him, her mind turned sharply, and she hurriedly said: "Pack up your things and go back to your parents' house!" How? Isn't it possible? ”
Lin Boqin felt guilty about her just now, and when he heard this, he was displeased: "It's only been a few days since we got married?" Are you going back to your parents' house? People don't know how I owe you. ”
"Don't you owe me?" Chu Ji simply took out the ability to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, hiding her face and pretending to cry, "I know, Lin Boqin, you just look down on me, and think that I am a widow who has been married three times, and I have fallen into your share of the county master." From the beginning, you refused to accept your relatives, and then you were reluctant to miss the auspicious time in the church, knowing that I was waiting for you to have dinner together, but deliberately returned late...... No matter how bad my Li Siniang is, it won't be your turn to be cheap! It's a big deal to shoot two and scatter, so what kind of doll pro, don't use it as a number! ”
Lin Boqin was speechless by her words.
The woman's long hair hid her face, leaning against the wall and sobbing pitifully, Lin Boqin felt that it was not a taste.
He said stiffly: "Don't cry, as a county official, I can't leave the territory without authorization, and it is helpless to let Yang La come to Yunzhou to pick up relatives." It is urgent to inspect the farmland reclamation in Donghe Township, and I am busy with official business in the Yamen, not only to decide prison lawsuits, but also to persuade farmers and mulberries, to carry out propaganda, to manage etiquette, and to manage taxes. ”
Chu Ji glanced at him from between her fingers, and it was the first time she had seen Lin Boqin's helpless expression, and she felt funny in her heart.
This smile shrugged her shoulders, but it made Lin Boqin think that she was crying even more fiercely.
Lin Boqin said again: "I summoned you to the yamen today, not because I deliberately let you run around, but because I want you to see that Liu Yu is on the board, and I think my heart will be more happy." But your attitude in the yamen ...... That's it. ”
When Chu Cheng heard this, she was really deflated in her heart.
She was not a tricky person in the first place, but when she met Lin Boqin's nagging old-fashionedness, she couldn't help but get angry.
Thinking of this, Chu Ji glanced at Lin Boqin again, and found that he was holding the medicine bowl in one hand and patting her shoulder stiffly with the other, looking very funny.
didn't hold back, so he laughed out loud.
She took the medicine bowl from Lin Boqin's hand, took a sip, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Since this is the case, I won't be angry with my husband." ”
For some reason, Lin Boqin felt that the word "husband" spit out of her mouth was particularly charming.
Chu Cheng sat at the table, drinking medicine, and asked, "Did you catch the murderer in the case of the female corpse found in Honghu today?" ”
Lin Boqin also sat down at the table and shook his head: "Not yet." After thinking for a moment, he told Chu Cheng about today's court trial one by one.
After hearing this, Chu Cheng took another sip of the medicinal juice: "This is not simple, the murderer must be the flower thief in Wangzhou." The flower thief first committed a murder in Fengshui, and then went to Qingyuan County to kill people, as long as the flower thief is caught, the case can be closed! Lin Boqin frowned: "But at present, Song Zhihe can't clear the suspicion, and he may also be the murderer of Du Jiaojiao." ”
"There must be a reason for this killing, Song Zhihe and Du Jiaojiao love each other so much, how can he be willing to kill him?"
Lin Boqin shook his head: "One person's one-sided words are not enough to believe. ”
Chu Cheng said: "If you still doubt it, then torture him, cane, stick, hammer, all over again, don't believe him and don't move!" ”
Lin Boqin looked at Chu Cheng with a helpless expression: "Human life is at stake, how can you be hasty, how can you be so bent into a trick, how can your conscience be safe?" ”
"Then you go and catch the flower thief." Chu Cheng didn't believe he could catch it.
Lin Boqin didn't believe it either.
The court tried its best to arrest Yu Xuanji, but there has been no progress so far, and it is difficult for him to catch a flower thief who doesn't even know what he looks like.
"But in everything, you have to do your best."
Lin Boqin was upright, and he said loudly: "Not for political achievements, not for fame, I tried my best to investigate this case to get justice for the deceased." ”
Chu Cheng was about to put the medicine bowl to her mouth, and when she heard this, her wrist paused slightly.
Separated by a lamp like soybean oil, Lin Boqinmang on the opposite side was cold, and the eyes under the sword eyebrows were full of grandeur and openness.
For no reason, Chu Cheng's breath stagnated.
In the dye vat of the palace, up and down the government and the opposition, three dukes and nine kings, she has seen too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace often bribed and pickled. Chu Cheng thought that she would never see the so-called Bao Zheng and Hai Rui in this life, and she would not understand that heaven and earth were set up and life was established for the people, but today, in this remote small county of Wangzhou, she met Lin Boqin.
