Get up early in the morning of the second day, Twelve Niang sat in front of the makeup and began to comb her hair, Li Siye had already put on her clothes, and the people in the family brought combing water, and after the two scrubbed, they came to the hall to offer tea to the portrait of the common ancestor. According to the etiquette system, the newlyweds still have to go to the graves of their ancestors to worship, but the west and Gaoling are thousands of miles apart, and the two can only temporarily open up the ancestral shrine in the backyard to incense on the tablets of their parents who do not know each other.

The eunuch should be simple when he is outside, and his state should return to his usual state as soon as possible, and the twelve mothers have also begun to officially preside over the affairs of the family.

Yan Xiaosi didn't come back until dawn, made up for it in the side room in the front yard, and waited outside the main hall door early, and didn't go in until Li Siye called him.

"What happened to Zhao Chongxuan's family?"

"Don't mention it, General Zhao's family has an upside down, his wife has an affair with the housekeeper at home, and General Zhao rushed back from Chihe to arrest him, and now he has been locked up."

Li Siye was surprised: "There is such a thing? No wonder I came to congratulate me last night, I even gritted my teeth when I spoke, this thing is troublesome, yesterday was my big day, but it was also General Zhao's house was corrupted, and it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which was a big difficulty in life. ”

"Who says it's not, it is said that General Zhao's wife and the butler of fornication are childhood sweethearts, and the housekeeper has been in the house for five or six years, and he has been kept in the dark."

Li Siye nodded, if something like this happens, it is better to find out early than late, what to do next, Tang Law has its own law. It's just that there is no one in the tuntian on the other side of the Chihe, and although the progress has slowed down, it doesn't matter much.

At this time, the Shule Governor's Mansion sent a servant, saying that he was asking the town guard to go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss important matters. Li Siye pondered, could it be this, he really didn't want to get involved.

But it is estimated that Zhao Chongyu is also in the Governor's Mansion at this time, as a superior, he should go over and be comforted.

He said to the officer, "Go back and return to the governor, and I will come later."

Li Siye went back to the house and took off the auspicious clothes for the wedding, put on a crimson robe with a lack of crotch, and the twelve mothers wearing hairpins were quite unhappy, and asked angrily: "It's only been a day since you got married, and you have to go outside, no matter how big the business is, you can't take a day off?" ”

He stood behind the lady and put his hands on her shoulders: "The matter is urgent, something has indeed happened in General Zhao's family, as a Shangguan, I naturally want to go over and take a look." ”

Twelve Niang raised her head and looked at him: "Go, come back early." ”

"Whoa."

Twelve Niang covered her mouth and laughed.

After getting the will of the lady, Li Siye led Yan Xiaosi out of the door, they came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, entered through the side door, and went to the main hall of the outer courtyard under the guidance of the doorman.

Governor Pei Guoliang sat cross-legged in front of the hall, and below the hall stood Zhao Chongyu, who had his hands on his waist and a cold face with an angry face, and a man and a woman kneeling on the ground.

Pei Guoliang was waiting for Li Siye to come, although he was nominally the supreme governor of Shule, but this case involved the generals of the Tang Army, and only by inviting Li Siye could he decide the case, and it was better to handle it cautiously if it involved the bilateral relations between the Tang Army and the Shule Governor's Office.

Li Siye stepped closer, tried his best to adjust his expression to a state of not being angry but threatening, coughed crisply, and walked towards the hall.

Pei Guoliang stood up from the front of the case, stretched out his hand and invited, "General Li, please take a seat."

Li Siye waved his hand: "This is the Governor's Mansion, of course, you are the main one, and I can just listen."

He sat on Pei Guoliang's upper left, and looked down at Zhao Chongyu, this subordinate's eyes were red and bloodshot, presumably because he was angry and had not slept all night, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Alas," Zhao Chongxuan sighed and said bitterly, "I rushed back from Chihe Tuntian overnight last night, and I saw such an ugly thing as soon as I entered the house. This slut had an affair with this thief slave behind his back, and I took it down on the spot. ”

"The last general wanted to deal with it on the spot, but after all, I am an official, how can I use lynching, I can only follow the law, and ask the governor and the general to adjudicate."

Li Siye looked at the pair of men and women kneeling on the ground, both of them bowing their heads. The man was bruised and bruised, and his arm seemed to be broken. Is this also called not lynching? Well played, though.

But Zhao Chongyu's lady was not injured in any way, he lowered his waist and looked at it, his face seemed to be red and swollen, and he was only slapped twice.

According to the customs of some places in the Western Regions, men and women will be treated cruelly for fornication, and Pei Guoliang did not praise the judgment, and said to the soldiers standing at the door: "Call Fa Cao from the Governor's Mansion to join the army." ”

The army soon came to the front of the hall, crossed his hands and saluted: "Governor, two generals." ”

Pei Guoliang nodded and asked: "Ju joined the army, men and women fornicated, how should it be dealt with according to Tang Law." ”

"The governor of the capital and the adulterer, both men and women shall be imprisoned for one and a half years, and if the woman has a husband, each shall be imprisoned for two years."

Li Siye nodded approvingly, this punishment is quite light, unlike other dynasties that directly end people's lives by dipping in pig cages, palace punishments, and cane deaths.

Zhao Chongxuan asked suspiciously: "As a slave, is it also two years to fornicate with the master's mother?" ”

"Oh," Ju Shenjun followed closely, "fornication with the mistress, the punishment is doubled, and the sentence is four years." ”

Pei Guoliang turned his head and asked Li Siye: "Li Zhen makes you see how to judge?" ”

Li Siye was quite speechless, you came to ask me so simply, you are too cautious.

"In that case, let's deal with it according to the law."

Pei Dudu immediately made a decision: "Then the two people, the woman will be sentenced to two years in prison and the man will be sentenced to four years." ”

Zhao Chongxuan hesitated and struggled for a moment, but suddenly knelt down, and said with his eyebrows tightly locked and his hands crossed: "Pei Dudu, Li Zhenzhi, can my lady deal with it lightly, after all, she is a husband and wife for a day, and she is delicate, how can she stand the pain of labor." ”

Pei Guoliang was surprised, Zhao Chongxuan was a hero who was sad about the beauty pass, and he was so affectionate to his wife that he wanted to exonerate her. It's just that Tang Law's rules can be violated?

Li Siye thought to himself, I hope it won't suddenly turn bloody in the future.

The lady of the Zhao family suddenly raised her head, and said with a stubborn sneer on her red and swollen face: "Zhao Chongxuan, I don't need your mercy, I hope you can take a leave of absence from me, and being with you for five years is like a torment for me, if it weren't for Liulang by my side, I would have gone away a long time ago!" “

"You! You slut! Zhao Chongxuan decisively pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and raised his hand to cut it down. Unexpectedly, this Zhao Niangzi was also a spicy woman, her face did not change color, and she resolutely raised her head and raised her chest to lead her neck to be killed: "You cut it!" Hacking me and Rokuro to death here has also fulfilled our wishes! ”

Unexpectedly, this woman's heart was so resolute, which surprised the two people sitting at the top, Zhao Chongyu bit his lip and bled out, but the knife in his hand never couldn't bear to fall.

Pei Guoliang saw that this situation was not right, and hurriedly said: "General Zhao, this woman is so cold that she will die without repentance, why bother to intercede for her, so I will sentence this woman to two years in prison and a man to four years in prison." Come! Put the man and woman in Shule City Prison and Pancheng State Prison respectively! ”

Several officials from the Shule Prefecture came forward and escorted the two separately.

Pei Guoliang and Li Siye glanced at each other, they and Zhao Chongyu were colleagues who were stationed in Shule together, and they didn't look up and look down every day. Try not to show sympathy for Zhao Chongxuan. The greatest humiliation of a man is not the abuse and oppression, but the sympathetic gaze of others.

Li Siye walked down, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Life is not as good as it should be, but there are still one or two things that go well, so think more about the one or two that are wishful." Don't go to Chihe Juntun these days, and rest at home for a few days. ”
