Chapter 34: King Zhou
When Qiu Yulan arrived at the "Renqing Hall", the entire shop, including the two-story building behind the shop that served as accommodation and warehouse, had been smashed beyond recognition. Fortunately, because it was the New Year, almost all the shops on this street were closed for the New Year, and there were not many onlookers, a few of them, and even dispersed when they saw her coming.
This relieved Qiu Yulan, who was ready to meet the scene that Qianfu pointed out and couldn't get through.
But before he got out of the carriage, he heard He Zifu's oops, and looked not far away with a painful heart: "County Lord!" Look there! β
ββIt is a plaque made by a famous artist when "Renqingtang" opened decades ago.
This signboard, which is usually polished to a shiny and shiny appearance, is now smashed to pieces, not to mention, and deliberately discarded on the street in front of the shop, with people coming and going, intentionally or unintentionally, gradually stepping into the dirt!
Turning his head, the place where the plaque was originally hung has now been replaced by a bloody and shocking banner "Kill for Life"!
"Let's go in first." Qiu Yulan squinted, and did not call for someone to clean up the broken signboard, but walked towards the "Renqing Hall". She paused on the threshold, looked up and admired, and was still a little relieved, "This writing is not as good as mine." β
He Zifu and the others behind her were speechless and asked Cangtian: Is it time to care about this?
Entering the door, the lobby that was smashed and leaked on all sides was like ruins, and a simple mourning hall was built in the middle, but the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious-
ββ¦β¦ Your Highness's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and the grass people have nothing to repay! The middle-aged couple wearing linen and filial piety, dragging their children and daughters, howled and cried bitterly.
"As the prince of Da Rui, this king has the title of the king of Zhou, and he is supported by the society, how can he sit back and watch Er and other good people being oppressed by the powerful?" Chu Weizhou, the king of Zhou, who was hugging a luxurious sable fur and with delicate eyebrows, had a compassionate face, and was sparing no effort to show his pro-people style, and I don't know if he saw Qiu Lulan coming in, and he even condescended to personally lean down to help the husband of the couple.
Chu Weizhou was as kind as spring, "Hurry up!" Get up! These are the things that this king should do. β
"His Royal Highness King Zhou is really a good person!" Among the children who knelt and knelt up and knelt with their parents in ignorance, the eldest one suddenly said.
"His Royal Highness King Zhou is so approachable!" The other two children were stunned, and one subconsciously said.
ββ¦β¦ His Royal Highness King Zhou is the best! The youngest child looked like he was only four or five years old, and he was pinched several times by his older siblings before he was stunned to remember the lines he should say.
Chu Weizhou looked at them kindly, that gaze, that look, as if he was looking at his illegitimate child - the kind born with true love that could not be combined, exiled for more than ten years, and easily recognized after being wronged - that is called a loving desire!
Turning to Qiu Weilan, who walked to him, Chu Weizhou immediately changed into the ruthlessness of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves: "Lord Ningyi!" What do you have to say?! β
"Ning Yi greets His Royal Highness King Zhou, His Royal Highness King Zhou is blessed with Jin'an!" Qiu Yulan bowed in a proper manner.
Chu Weizhou sneered and waved his hand: "Less nonsense!" 'Ren Khanh Tang' grabbed medicine indiscriminately and killed innocent people, you don't want to rely on your status as the county lord and the power of General Ruan! Now that this king has met him today, he will administer justice to them. No nobles will be allowed to bully others and ignore the law of the country! β
Qiu Yulan glanced at him with a smile, and the beast in her heart ran wildly: "The old lady and the old general Ruan want to be powerful, you dare to smash the door with a brain-wreck?!" β
"Since Your Highness mentioned the law of the country, then dare to ask Your Highness, which of the laws of my Darui Kingdom is one of the things that the prince can smash people's shops at will?" After secretly reciting "I am now a lady and a county lord", Qiu Yulan asked with a light smile.
Chu Weizhou was stunned for a moment, as if he was very surprised that she did not admit her guilt, and dared to interrogate herself in turn.
Fortunately, he was not slow to react, and immediately sneered, looked around and said, "Who said that this place was smashed by this king?!" β
"Yes, yes, what kind of identity is our prince, your little 'Renqing Hall', can let the prince come in and sit today, it is already full of brilliance! It's also worthy of letting the prince smash it?! β
"The prince is here, not only does the 'Renqing Hall' not even have a person who came out to entertain, but there is no sip of water or a bowl of tea for a long time, but he asks about the prince, which is really unreasonable!"
The entourage of King Zhou's mansion helped me with a word.
"That's what you smashed?" Qiu Yulan ignored the others, turned his eyes, and looked at the couple wearing linen and filial piety!
The couple shrank their heads when she saw it, but when they heard Chu Weizhou cough, they immediately realized that they had a backer, and the backer was bigger than Qiu Luolan, and they suddenly became arrogant again: "It's, we smashed it!" You 'Renqingtang' killed my father! Murder pays for life! What about smashing your pharmacy?! β
Qiu Yulan smiled coldly, her eyes were like knives: "First, whether your father died because of 'Renqingtang', you don't count if you say it, it doesn't matter if the county lord says it, His Royal Highness King Zhou ......" She glanced at Chu Weizhou, whose brows were gradually wrinkled, and sneered, "It doesn't count if you say it!" β
"Lord Ningyi!" The subordinates of the Zhou Wangfu wanted to speak, but they were ignored again by Qiu Yulan, she stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion: "You should go to sue the official!" The official family sent someone to examine the autopsy and visit, and finally Jing Zhaoyin judged the case, what was the reason for his death, that's it! β
Putting down his hand, Qiu Yulan said coldly, "Before Jing Zhaoyin decides right and wrong, what qualifications do you have to say that your father died because of 'Renqingtang?!'" Is it possible that a random person can carry a corpse to this lobby and smash the shop and the signboard with peace of mind?! If you are like this, who will dare to open the door to do business in the future! β
"Second, even if Jingzhao breaks down the 'Renqing Hall' is responsible, then the compensation and punishment should be determined by the official! And not you guys do it yourself! Otherwise, everyone will do whatever they want when they have a little reason, where is the dignity of the national law!? β
Qiu Yulan pointed angrily, "You are simply lawless!" In a frenzy!!! β
The couple was dumbfounded by her question, but it was their eldest child who was clever and reminded: "Father, mother! Grandpa just took their medicine to get it! β
"Yes, yes, yes!" The couple was reminded, and the wife immediately tore her throat and cried: "Daddy! You've been so wronged - this 'Renqingtang' killed you! β
"Shopkeeper He, you go out and call someone to go to Jingzhao to beat the drum and voice the grievances!" Qiu Yulan also raised his voice and said sharply, "Go and sue this couple for rebellion!" After murdering my father, I blamed our 'Renqingtang', trying to use it to slander the money! β
The wife's crying stopped abruptly, and she almost jumped up in fright: "You you nonsense! β
He Zifu was also stunned by Qiu Yulan's sudden order, and he didn't know whether to go out or not?
"The county lord is talking nonsense?!" Qiu Yulan glanced at his wife contemptuously, and said, "The county lord asked you - your old father is dead, and he suspects that it was 'Renqingtang', why don't you go to sue the official and ask the official family to give you justice!" Instead, he came to 'Renqingtang' first, and he smashed and made trouble - nothing more than trying to blackmail money! The old father is dead, and he doesn't want to avenge him, but is anxious to extort benefits, isn't this a plot of money?! This is unfilial piety! You unfilial people, who knows how your father died? Maybe it's just to blackmail 'Renkeitang', that's whyβ"
Chu Weizhou finally couldn't hold it back, and said sharply: "It's just full of nonsense!" β
As soon as he spoke, the couple breathed a sigh of relief!
"It's still the first month, and the door of Jingzhao Mansion is open?!" Chu Weizhou was the king of Zhou in the end, and he began to counterattack as soon as he went into battle, "Besides, they didn't go to the yamen and came here directly, it was precisely because they hated the 'Renqingtang' that they couldn't wait for the yamen to call the shots, so they smashed this harmful shop first - even if it didn't comply with the rules, it was understandable!" β
The voice suddenly sharpened, "It's you!" Lord Ningyi! Look at you at a young age and a girl, your mind is so vicious! In front of the spirits of the victims, in front of the families of the victims, without reflecting on the careless disregard for human life of the 'Renqingtang', he still delusionally reverses black and white and slanders goodness! What a shame on the nobility! A man like you deserves to be a county lord?! This king deserves to show the emperor's grandmother and cut off your county lord's title! β
"Your Highness, please respect yourself!" Su He and the others changed color when they heard this, but Qiu Yulan said lightly, "The title of the county lord of this county comes from his father King Xihe, and the lord of King Xihe begins with Your Highness Your great-grandfather Emperor Gaozong!" Emperor Gaozong once promised me the hereditary replacement of the lord of the king of Xihe, and the daughter of the generation was the lord of the county, which was regarded as the lord of the clan! If the county lord is not mistaken, in the law of the Great Rui Kingdom, the abolition of the county lord should not be mentioned by the kings, right? This is the power of the harem, His Royal Highness is a dignified man, hehe! β
The essence of the word "hehe", even if it is changed for a lifetime, is still infinitely useful.
Chu Weizhou's originally noble and elegant face was sometimes gentle and sometimes stern, and gradually became iron-blue!
Except for the Empress Jiang, who made him see it like a mouse seeing a cat, he had never been sarcastically and provoked like this again and again in front of anyone else, including Empress Dowager Gu!
"Since you have told this king about the law of the land." Fortunately, the top aristocratic teachings he received since he was a child made Chu Weizhou calm down in the shortest possible time - he knew that although he didn't need to talk to a fatherless and motherless county lord about national law and justice, he could just crush his status! But the former Ningyi County Lord is the introduction of a new round of battle between the two queens!
At the moment, whether it is Empress Dowager Gu or Empress Jiang, or the neutral faction, it can be said that the government and the opposition are staring at her! At this time, he used his identity and power to suppress her - from childhood to adulthood, Chu Weizhou definitely didn't want to give his mother-in-law any chance to find trouble for herself!
So he was full of rage, and said, "Then the king will also ask you a question - what is the crime of slandering the prince?!" β
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "How do you say this?" β
"You just suspect that this king smashed the 'Renqing Hall'!" Chu Weizhou thought about how to clean up this hateful county lord with all his might next - but Qiu Yulan was surprised: "Lord Wang, what you said, when did this county lord suspect you of coming?" This county lord is just asking you a question! Could it be that because you are also a prince, you think that the lord of this county was suspicious of you at that time?! β
"You !!" Chu Weizhou didn't expect her to admit it on the spot!
can think about it carefully - Qiu Yulan's original words at that time were: "Dare to ask Your Highness, which of the laws of my Darui Kingdom is that the prince can smash people's shops casually?" β
She was clearly asking rhetorically and questioning at the time!
But now, Qiu Yulan is obviously going to bite to death is a question - she also used a beautiful word for the question called "ask for advice"!
"It's really lively here?" Chu Weizhou was so angry that he came back to life, and suddenly there was a chuckle that he had been familiar with since childhood outside the door, and then, a young man with a cinnabar ground folding branches and four seasons flower patterns and a gold satin brocade robe, graceful and luxurious, walked in slowly!
"Second Emperor Brother!" Chu Weizhou saw that Chu Weize, the king of Yan with the same mother, was overjoyed, and stood up!
Qiu Yulan's heart sank slightly-even if she speculated that these two kings didn't dare to do anything to themselves without a reason, but the two kings were the two kings in the end-at this moment, Chu Wei turned out behind him, pine green land with cloud pattern dark flower satin brocade robe, jade bamboo hairpin, outstanding demeanor, smile at the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze, glanced at the scene in the house, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was deeper: "Lord Ningyi is not harmed?" Oh, His Royal Highness King Zhou, I said goodbye in a hurry yesterday, I don't want to meet again so soon? β
ββ¦β¦ River Cliff Frost! It's you again!! Chu Weizhou gritted his teeth!
