Chapter 232: The Case of the Northern Governor (I)
In the second half of the night, the dark sky gradually turned blue, and even the edges glowed with a faint white light, and the stars dragged their tired bodies into the clouds to rest.
Outside the sky in the lobby.
Miss Kaylin's maid fell asleep on the table, and only Nock was still studying the recipe.
I don't know how long it took, the kitchen door was pushed open with a "creak", although the sound was not loud, but the alert Nock still found the person coming out of the kitchen.
Miss Kaylin?
Nock hurriedly stood up, "Why are you up?"
Seeing Nock's worried face, Kaylin smiled, and she handed a letter and a note to Nock's hand.
"The note was for me, right?" Nock asked quietly.
She nodded.
Flipping through the note, Nock, who had read the contents, looked surprised, "This ...... Is it really possible?"
Kaylin nodded again.
After a moment's hesitation, Nock finally agreed to do so, though he was still not at ease with Miss Kaylin, and lifted a certain floor of the kitchen, below which was the course of the Inner City River, from which he could leave the "Outer Side" without being detected, but it was a little farther away from the shore and the current was rapid.
"Be careful yourself, I'll be back soon. ”
Nock took a deep breath and slowly dived into the water, and soon, his figure vanished......
......
Early in the morning, the sky was just dawning.
The door of the "Outside the World" is full of people who come to see the excitement, and there are many of them who gloat, and naturally there are also evil words, of course, this can't be blamed entirely on these people, after all, the idea that women can't cook has long been ingrained in their minds, and it is almost impossible to change in a short time.
After the noise, it is still noisy, and more and more people gather.
"Send her to the government!"
"Hang her!
“......”
From time to time, such shouts erupted from the angry crowd.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" Singer shouted loudly with his arms raised in his straight dress, and suddenly, the people around him quieted down, and their expectant and anxious eyes all focused on him.
He smiled, a look of merchant treachery.
"Listen to me, this 'out-of-the-world' ......," he said, turning and pointing to the sign of the century-old shop behind him, "what does it mean to have a female chef in charge? Everyone understands that this kind of behavior is more heinous than the most despicable prostitute, and it is a blatant desecration and insult to the dignity and dignity of the diners......
A merchant is a merchant, and this mouth is even more powerful than a shrew, and after a moment's effort, those who originally had a wait-and-see attitude began to become excited.
"Arrest her and take her to Fanzheng Yuan!"
"That's right! Arrest him and go to Fanzheng Yuan!"
“......”
Seeing that the people's hearts were returned and the intention was the same, Singh nodded to his subordinates and motioned to enter the "Tianwaiju" to arrest people, but at this moment, the door of the "Tianwaiju" opened......
Dressed in a simple dress, Kailin stepped out with the help of the maid.
Kailin, who has always been very introverted, was very calm in front of so many people, and she stood in front of Singh, without the slightest hostility in her eyes, which surprised Singh, of course, it was not only him who was surprised, but even the people around who watched the excitement also felt a little surprised.
She seems to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, so young, can she be a chef, can she make such delicious dishes?
There was a burst of skepticism in the crowd.
Seeing that the atmosphere had changed somewhat, Singh knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he waved his hand and said, "Miss Kailin, I'm really sorry, please!" After speaking, he pointed to a carriage parked across the road, "I don't want you to be hurt in any way until the verdict is imposed." ”
His words were obviously said to the people around him, meaning: Everyone sees, I am impartial and selfless.
In front of the carriage, Kailin saw the two cooks who were going to testify against her in Fanzheng Yuan, and to tell her heart, Kailin didn't hate them, but felt very sad. The two chefs were also obviously a little reluctant, and bowed their heads in front of Kailin.
......
The carriage slowly drove towards the main courtyard under the crowd.
Inside the car, the atmosphere became anxious and uneasy because of Singh's presence. He stroked his slightly upturned beard, "Miss Kailin, don't blame me for being ruthless, you also know, businessmen should be unscrupulous, you have been a dominant family for so many years, robbing others of so much business, today I just got back what I deserved." ”
"You are despicable!
"Despicable, shameless?" Singh snorted disdainfully, and then shook his hand and gave the maid a palm, "I'm mean, I'm shameless, so what? Let's not say you're a chef, even if you're not, there's a way to make you be! I'm not afraid to tell you, Lord Fanzheng's staff is my cousin, and I'm half a nobleman!" he sneered, very proud.
"......" covered her reddened cheeks, and the maid protected Miss Kailin with her body in fear.
Singh knew that Kaylin was mute and couldn't speak, so he wasn't surprised by Kaylin's silence.
"Speaking from the heart, your cooking skills are indeed very good, and it is difficult for a chef in the empire to compare with you, but it's a pity......" Singh sneered, "You're a woman, and you're a mute." ”
"Shut up!" the maid half-stood up and rushed towards Singh, but was kicked aside by Singh.
Kaylin hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and glanced at Singer with a look of disgust.
"Hmph, you're pretty good-looking, but you're not outstanding, and you're a mute, and you smell of green onions, it's impossible to get married. In this way, you can marry me, as long as you nod and agree now, I won't go to Fanzheng Yuan to accuse you, the conditions are very good, aren't they?"
Don't look away.
"Guy who doesn't know how to lift!"
A moment later, the carriage carrying Kailin stopped in front of the gate of the Imperial Courtyard, which by this time was already surrounded by thousands of people, and more and more people were coming from all directions.
Singh got out of the carriage and was greeted by his cousin Yorkbeth, who shook his head at Singh and said, "It doesn't look like it's going to work today." ”
"No?" Singh didn't understand, "Why? I've brought all the people, and you're telling me no now?"
That's not what I said. York Bai explained: "Lord Fanzheng has diarrhea, and it is very serious, and it can't be tried at all. ”
"What about Lord Fanzheng?" Singh was a little anxious.
"Lord Vice-Fan Zheng's pull is even stronger, and he was sent to the Imperial Hospital last night. ”
"What? ......," Singh frowned, clearly in a dilemma. In this situation, is it impossible to send her back?" "Didn't you say last night that today's trial would be held? Why is this ......" Singh lowered his voice, but his tone was still extremely dissatisfied, "You should think of a way for me?"
"I can't help it, I had a stomach upset shortly after I returned from the state banquet yesterday, and I'm still lying on the bed and can't move. ”
"What should I do?" Singh asked, pointing to the carriage.
"......" the staff also looked quite embarrassed, "Why don't we hand her over to the church?"
"Church?" Singh was right to think about it, anyway, the church has the right to manage this kind of thing, "then ......"
"Get out of the way!
Just as he was about to make his decision, a group of guards soldiers swept a way through the crowd.
......
"Who of you is Singh Trodi?, the boss of Caiyun Pavilion?" the person who spoke was Xingxue's friend Are, who was now the commander of the Northern Governor.
Suddenly seeing so many guards soldiers coming around, Singh wondered and felt a little scared, "I...... I...... I am. ”
Arley looked the roe rat guy up and down, "Are you?"
"Yes, I'm Singh. ”
"Someone. Arey waved his hand, "Grab him for me!"
"Huh?"
Before Singh could understand what was going on, the iron cuffs were already locked to his body.
"Master Qianfu, what's going on?" the staff immediately blocked between the guards soldiers and Singh, looking at the posture, he wanted to stand up for Singh, "There must be an arrest warrant from the government to arrest people, if not, you must release them immediately! Otherwise, I will go to the Imperial Supervision Department to sue you for abuse of power!"
"What's going on?" Ah Lei snorted coldly: "Singh is suspected of an illegal detention case, Lord Beidu has already received the complaint, and now he is here to arrest the suspect!" After speaking, he took out the arrest warrant issued by Beidu Hualong.
Unlawful detention?
Singh was stunned. When did you get illegally detained......?
After reading the arrest warrant, Fanzheng's staff's face changed slightly, and his tone softened a lot, "What do you call this Qianfu Elder by name?"
"Arley. ”
The staff member smiled and approached closely: "Commander Alei, what the hell is going on?"
"This morning, a soaking wet bastard ran to our Northern Governor's Mansion to complain, and Lord Beidu naturally accepted it, that's all. Ah Lei deliberately pretended to be very dissatisfied, "It's fucking troublesome to encounter this kind of thing early in the morning." After saying that, he angrily tugged at the chain, and at this moment, he almost strangled Singh to death.
"But there is a reason for this, I didn't see the people in the carriage, she is a female chef, she has been for many years, Singh is to eliminate harm for the people, so ...... her" The staff smiled with a smile on their faces, hoping to keep Singh.
"I see. Arei loosened his chain and said, "In that case, I will leave it to Lord Fanzheng for trial, but I want to know the result so that I can repay Lord Beidu." ”
"Huh?" The staff members were immediately dumb when they heard this, and Lord Fanzheng couldn't hold a trial at all now that he had diarrhea, "Can you wait a minute, Lord Fanzheng is not feeling well, I want to ...... tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?" Ah Lei glared at the staff, and then his tone became very tough, "Since Lord Fanzheng doesn't have time, then I'll bring a group of people back to the Northern Governor's Mansion." ”
"This ......"
Without continuing to pay attention to the staff, Ah Lei immediately drank and said, "Take it away!"
......
On the way to the Northern Governor's Palace, in the carriage.
"Miss......" Kailin's maid looked out the window uneasily, "what do you say Lord Beidu will judge......?"
Kaylin, who was sitting in the carriage, had not spoken, and she was also nervous and scared.
"It doesn't matter, you hand over this letter to the Governor's Mansion before dawn, and Lord Beidu will help you. This was said by the "God of War", and Kailin still remembers, and she also believes in this black-haired man with a mask, because she and he are friends, real friends!
It's going to be fine. Kailin told her maid with her gaze. Definitely, definitely.
Another carriage followed, with Singh and Fanzheng's aide Yorkbeth sitting in the carriage.
The reason why Singh was allowed to ride in the carriage was thanks to the help of his staff, and if he hadn't said good things to Are, I am afraid that he would have been dragged away by chains by now.
"Look, staff. Singh held the heavy shackles on his body, looking innocent, "This ......"
"Alright. If it weren't for my relationship, would you be able to sit here now?" The staff also looked very depressed, and the purpose of his follow-up was of course to help Singh, after all, he was a nobleman, and he was easy to talk in front of the Northern Governor.
"I don't understand, how could someone run to the Northern Governor and complain?"
Seeing Singh's puzzled expression, the staff snorted coldly, "Commander Alei just said that a wet man ran to the Northern Governor's Mansion in the morning to complain, what do you say is going on?"
"Is this?......" Singh realized that it must have been the cook Nock who had swam from the river to the other side in the middle of the night, so ......
"Okay, what's the use of thinking about this now, let's see what the public trial says. The staff looked out the window, "Depending on the situation, there will be a lot of people coming to watch today, but the more people, the better it will be for us, don't worry too much!"
......
I don't know if it's because of the fame of the Northern Governor Hualong, or because of the particularity of this case, in a word, in just half an hour, the huge Northern Governor's Mansion was surrounded by a crowd of people inside and outside the three floors, if it weren't for the fact that there were several rows of guard soldiers forming a human wall to block them, I'm afraid it would ......
At this time, the discussion in the crowd became one after another.
"What do you think Lord Beidu will judge?"
"Who knows, I only know that Lord Beidu is going to try the case, so I came here to join in the fun. By the way, what the hell is it for?"
"Ahem, it's a matter of a female chef. ”
"Female chef, what else is there to judge, just hang her!"
"But she's only a teenager, can she be a chef?"
“......”
In the crowd, the two young people desperately squeezed in, but there was not a single gap on the "iron plate" composed of people.
"Princess, what should I do?" Mark, who was retreating, wiped the sweat from his cheeks, "I can't squeeze in this way." "Queen Erica doesn't give up so easily, it's one of her hobbies, and after a few blinks of her big eyes, she has a ghost idea.
"There are snakes!"
Someone shouted in the crowd, and after this sound, the onlookers who had gathered together "brushed" to both sides, and taking this opportunity, Ellie Kara and Marco squeezed to the front. When she noticed that everyone's angry eyes were directed at her, Erica pretended to look at Mark beside her with pity.
In this way, poor Mark became the princess's scapegoat.
About 10 minutes after the people involved in the case entered the Northern Governor's Mansion, a governor stepped out of it, "Your Excellency has allowed unrelated people to observe, and the purpose of this is for the sake of fairness." After speaking, he coughed and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Of course, there are only a hundred places, who ......?"
Before he finished speaking, the people below were already in chaos.
"Me!"
"Me!"
“......”
Many people raised their hands high, and some even jumped, their purpose was nothing more than to attract the attention of the governor, after all, there were too many people who wanted to enter, even Empress Erica and Mark were among them, although their positions were very high, but after dozens of people entered, the governor still did not call her.
"Is he blind?" said Empress Erica, gritting her teeth in anger.
"Princess, let's forget it. ”
"Don't. Empress Erica looked around, then chuckled, "I have a solution!"
In a few moments, the governor had already shouted to the ninety-seventh, and at this moment......
"Gold coins. Someone suddenly threw a handful of golden coins into the sky, and after his voice, hundreds of people standing in the front row immediately squatted on the ground at the same time to pick up the money.
"It's now. Erica, who threw the money, hurriedly waved to the governor, and this time, the governor saw him.
"You're ninety-eight, you're ninety-nine. The governor gave each of them a sign and let them in.
......
......
