Chapter 21: True Cowardice
Chu Xin'er had already blown up her hair after hearing this: "What else can I do?" It's a bully! She Qin Darling died by herself, how could she blame others for her faults?! In this way, the laborers came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and the murder on the street did not become a bite, how can it be reasonable? ! ”
"Xin'er, don't mess around, you are a little child, what do you know?" The prince's face sank, and he rebuked angrily.
Xin'er seemed to be a little jealous of the prince, although she was not convinced, she didn't dare to talk back, so she only turned around angrily to comfort Noah.
Chu Qingchen seemed to have already made a fortune in his chest: "No matter what the law, you can't escape a single word of reason, whoever has more reason will naturally win." ”
"To put it lightly, now that the two of them have their own opinions, how can we judge?" The prince asked arrogantly.
"The second prince has always favored that, everyone in the capital knows it, how can it be fair for him to judge?" Qin Shangshu also protested unconvinced.
Chu Qingchen turned around and glanced at the lively people behind him, and said indifferently: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, Qin Shangshu can't trust me, there are so many people here, there is naturally a fair scale in their hearts, can we ask their opinions?" ”
"What do they know?" Qin Shangshu was a little funny, and he was full of disdain for Chu Qingchen's words.
"Maybe the people don't understand the great principle of the righteousness of the family and the country, but they can still distinguish between right and wrong." Chu Qingchen argued with reason, turned to the onlookers and said, "I believe everyone can see the ins and outs of the right talent, so please make a judgment." If you think this girl should be punished severely, please stand on the north side of this street, and if you think this girl is innocent, please stand on the south side of this street. ”
Chu Qingchen has an excellent reputation among the people, and his words can almost be said to be a hundred responses, and the onlookers responded immediately.
Whether it is a newcomer or a newcomer, Shicai has learned about it from Nuoya's mouth, and is extremely indignant at the domineering and ruthlessness of the second son of Shangshufu. In particular, his behavior of burning down the Linlang Pavilion regardless of it caused the anger of the surrounding merchants or residents.
If you find someone to judge by name, you may be afraid of the obscenity of Shangshufu and dare not squeak. But let everyone participate, there is a way to do the law and not blame the public, and after a while, they will disperse in a hurry, will it be difficult for him and the second son of Qin to take revenge one by one? So everyone flocked to the south of the street, and righteously condemned the atrocities of the Shangshu Mansion.
Qin Shangshu was so angry that he scolded loudly: "A group of Diao people! They are all people who tend to be inflammatory, how can they be biased? ”
There are also those who are quite bold, standing in the crowd, and shouting for Noya: "This girl is justified in self-preservation, why should you punish her severely, but condone the person who threatens to set fire?" ”
There are one and two, and immediately a second person shouted: "That man has no king's law, and he is about to set fire to a murder in such a strong wind today, which is simply to disregard people's lives!" We don't take the safety of our ordinary people into account. ”
For a while, the crowd was passionate, and everyone was talking. Only Qin Shangshu's black and red face was so angry that it was purple in red and purple in purple.
Chu Xin'er clapped her hands excitedly.
Chu Qingchen said helplessly to the crown prince and the third prince: "It seems that the people obviously have a lot of resentment against the behavior of the second prince of Qin!" ”
Nuoya couldn't help but glance at Chu Qingchen gratefully, the prince and the third prince were all biased towards the second prince of Qin and whitewashed his mistakes. If he hadn't arrived in time and used the public opinion of the masses to skillfully reverse the situation, he would not be able to stand here safely now.
Chu Qingchen also happened to look over and gave her a comforting smile, and the anxiety in Noya's heart was suppressed, and she was much more stable.
Bingluo was also a little anxious, and Mu Ran's face rarely showed a little different anxiety, and he looked at the corner of the street from time to time.
How could Qin Shangshu be willing to give up, and angrily scolded the soldiers behind him: "What do you care about those Diao people? Hurry up and get her up for me! Who dares to stop the killing! ”
didn't even take Chu Qingchen in his eyes at all! It is conceivable how arrogant he Qin Shangshu is on weekdays.
When the soldier received the order, he was about to step forward and make a move, and Bing Ling was not ambiguous, and stepped forward to block Noah, without fear.
Chu Qingchen was not in a hurry, walked to Qin Shangshu, and smiled indifferently: "Lord Qin, don't be impulsive, if there is something, Xiao Jiu will come in a while, everyone will sit down and talk calmly." ”
Qin Shangshu faced Chu Qingchen, not as respectful as he was to the third prince and the crown prince, on the contrary, he was a little disdainful, he didn't look at him, and snorted coldly with his nostrils towards the sky.
"This vicious woman even dared to hurt the officials of the imperial court, which shows how bold she is, and she will never be forgiven. The old minister knew that the second prince had always had a close personal relationship with her, but the law was unforgiving, so he asked the second prince to be impartial and not to bend the law for personal gain. ”
Lin Nuoya heard that Qin Shangshu was so rude to Chu Qingchen, and while she was angry, she felt a little distressed in her heart. If it weren't for Chu Qingchen's mother's humble status, how could he, a little scholar, dare to be so rude to a prince? It is also commonplace to see the crown prince and the third prince, and he doesn't care at all, but it is conceivable how much Chu Qingchen has been coldly regarded and excluded since he was a child.
Chu Qingchen was still not in a hurry or annoyed, smiling, and the clouds were light: "Since Qin Shangshu guessed me like this, Qingchen has nothing to say." Naturally, he wants to go to the saint to seek justice, and he must not wronged the second son. There happens to be a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and blank fold on my carriage, and Lord Qin can write the impeachment fold now, and order someone to send it to the palace as soon as possible, and respectfully ask the Holy Judge to be judged.
The crown prince and the three princes were a little surprised, why did Chu Qingchen change his words and no longer favor Lin Nuoya, but instead offered to let Qin Shangshu write a letter of impeachment?
Lin Nuoya was indifferent, she firmly believed from the bottom of her heart that Chu Qingchen must have his reasons for doing this, and he would definitely not look at his grievances and stand by and say nothing, and add fuel to the fire.
Qin Shangshu was angry, and he didn't doubt him, so he snorted angrily: "The old man has this intention, and there is the second prince of Lao." ”
The leader of the soldiers, who had just flaunted his might to Noya, looked at him anxiously, intending to dissuade him, but he did not dare to say it openly.
Qin Shangshu ignored it, picked up the pen and ink handed over by Feng Chi, found a flat place, and without thinking about it, he retold the story of the matter with oil and vinegar, and wrote Nuoya to the point of being extremely evil, and people and gods were angry.
The prince lowered his head and turned the wrench on his finger, his face was dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this critical juncture, Lin Nuoya even had time to look at him, and secretly wondered in her heart: Does the prince really know himself? On that day, Qin's darling was quick to talk for a while, and the person who blurted out was not the prince? Is he the one who wants to kill himself? Why didn't he take the opportunity to expose his identity as the daughter of a criminal official in public, and wanted his own life, wouldn't it be easy?
Looking at his behavior today, it seems that there is no obvious hostility towards himself, on the contrary, he has been speaking to test the attitude of the third prince towards him, what does he mean?
Noya went to see the third prince again, and he looked at Qin Shangshu, who was struggling to write, and he was also calm. He is obviously biased towards the Qin Mansion, does he know the secret between the three princesses and himself? While he was pondering, the third prince suddenly turned his head, glanced at Noah, and smiled meaningfully at her.
That smile, Noah was almost certain that there was some meaning in it.
Chu Xin'er was not angry, and walked straight to Chu Qingchen with a sigh, and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, why did you actually help that wicked person bully Sister Noya?" ”
Chu Qingchen glanced at Chu Xin'er: "This is an adult's business, you don't understand it, don't worry about it." ”
Chu Xin'er was most disgusted with others teaching her such an old-fashioned lesson, and she was instantly unhappy, pouting and saying, "Even you discipline me like this, I will tell my father to go." ”
"It's okay," Chu Qingchen didn't care at all: "You just brought in Lord Qin's recital and handed it over to your father, and we don't need to find someone to pass it on." ”
It's okay not to say it, but saying this angered Chu Xin'er's little temper even more, and stepped forward to snatch Qin Shang's good note: "You group of big men bully a weak woman, and you are so high-sounding, I will never allow you to distort the facts in front of your father and falsely accuse Sister Nuoya!" ”
After that, you have to tear up the concerto! Chu Qingchen's eyes were quick, and he stopped it: "Xin'er, you can't tear it!" ”
The subordinates secretly squeezed Xin'er's hand. Xin'er didn't understand what she meant, so she paused for a while.
"Chu Xin'er, you're getting bolder and bolder, aren't you? Do you dare to tear the twists and turns of the court officials? The prince sneered angrily: "Are we too used to pampering you?" ”
The third prince hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed him: "The tenth sister is obedient and obedient, don't be willful and make the eldest brother angry." Fold that piece to the third brother. ”
Chu Xin'er glanced at the prince, pursed her mouth aggrievedly, and tears rolled down cracklingly: "You all work together to bully me, I just won't give it!" ”
Seeing that Xin'er was embarrassed for herself, Noya couldn't bear it and felt a little guilty, so she stepped forward and persuaded: "Xin'er, give it to them, my sister believes in the wisdom of the saint, and she will definitely judge impartially." ”
"The three of them become tigers, and they will definitely talk nonsense! There won't even be someone to speak for you. ”
As soon as the words fell, a person in the distance rode into the dust, galloped straight to the door of the natural residence, immediately the guards turned over and dismounted, and after paying homage to several princes, he bowed his hand at Noya: "Aunt Lin, the master asked me to come over and bring you a message, there are bandits in the Beishan area, the situation is urgent, the patrol will escape, the master can only personally lead the Beicheng guards to suppress the bandits, I am afraid that I will not be able to rush back to the restaurant at noon, please Aunt Lin to make amends to the guests on his behalf, and I will be re-invited another day." ”
When it comes to the critical moment, why is this hundred miles nine unreliable? Lin Nuoya secretly scolded Baili Jiu in her heart. I am now being bullied unscrupulously, I have been wronged, I have always been hanging, why do people who do not do their jobs come up diligently, and personally lead the troops, I am afraid that I can't afford to provoke something and deliberately hide, right?
What a cowardice!
