The Inspectors are never regular, they are like the impermanence of the soul.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes during the day, sometimes there is a happy event at home, and of course, it can also be present during the funeral.

It is not uncommon to raid the house during the birthday banquet.

There was no more laughter in the women's curly flower hall, and it was full of low discussions.

"Old lady, don't worry." Someone is comforting, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding." ”

Mrs. Zhai couldn't sit still, and her granddaughter was so young that she couldn't take care of herself, so now Mrs. Yang and her two daughters-in-law supported Mrs. Zhai.

Hearing the consolation, several people smiled bitterly in their hearts.

What misunderstanding? What else does the Metropolitan Inspector have to do when he comes to the door besides arresting people and raiding their homes?

Could it be that you are here to celebrate your birthday?

Miss Xiahou picked up the box that had fallen, Lu Yizhi asked with her eyes on the side, Miss Xiahou made a gesture to light incense, Lu Yizhi understood, and saw that the servant and maid of the Zhai family were already flustered, so she took the fire herself.

Miss Xiahou lit incense on the side and gently placed it behind Old Madam Zhai.

The third daughter-in-law who surrounded Mrs. Zhai noticed and turned her head to look at her.

"It's calming." Miss Xiahou said softly.

Mrs. Zhai squeezed out a smile and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Miss Xiahou knew that the family had no intention of speaking now, so she didn't say anything more and retreated.

"I'll go out and have a look." Lu Yizhi said softly.

Mrs. Xiahou and Miss Xiahou both nodded.

"Don't get into trouble with them." Mrs. Xiahou whispered, "Report your teacher's name first." ”

Lu Yizhi's response was.

Mrs. Xiahou said this to the people of the Zhai family very moved, the Metropolitan Prosecutor acted extremely domineering, and the other family members helped to intercede when the family had an accident, but they were all arrested by the Metropolitan Prosecutor and the same party, and after a few times, everyone could only protect themselves.

At this moment, more than half of the people in the hall must have regretted coming to the banquet today.

Sure enough, it is still a great Confucian family, with a frank spirit, and is not afraid of demons and monsters.

As soon as Lu Yizhi walked to the door, another servant woman outside hurriedly rushed in.

"Old lady, old lady, old lady..... old man," she gasped.

The old lady Zhai who was lying down sat up suddenly, her voice trembling: "What's wrong with the eldest master?" ”

Captured? Or did you kill them on the spot?

"The eldest lord asked me to say, it's okay, it's not a big deal." The servant woman took a breath and said, "Don't worry. ”

It's okay!

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

But Old Madam Zhai's heart was still raised.

"It's not a big deal, it's a small thing?" She asked.

It's not okay to do small things, if it falls into the hands of the Metropolitan Judge, small things can kill you.

The servant woman was flustered, unable to hear very clearly, and a little confused in her memory.

"It seems to be, look, look, birthday gift." She said.

......

.....

The sound of gongs and drums in the garden, and the whirlwinds rolling on the stage have all disappeared.

The maidservants huddled together with frightened expressions, and many were secretly wiping away tears.

If their homes are raided, their slaves and maids will become official slaves and maids, and they don't know where they will fall.

Meng Chan held his hands and closed his eyes to pray for blessings, Mrs. Yang is a married daughter, but if something happens to the Zhai family, Mrs. Yang will not have a good life in her husband's house.

The pheasant was also nervous, and his hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves.

Although she is not from the Zhai family or the Yang family, she .....

She couldn't help but look at Seven Stars quietly.

That's the Metropolitan Judge.

There is even a crazy thought in my heart, the Inspector Du will not come to the Zhai family to arrest Miss, right?

There was a soft creak.

Seven stars bite open a dried fruit.

This sound made the eyes around look over, and when they noticed the sight, Qixing put down the dried fruit in his hand.

"Miss." The pheasant asked with his eyes, "Are you alright?" ”

Qixing said, "I don't know, go and see." ”

Ay? The pheasant's eyes are round, can I go and see it?

Qixing's words fell to his feet, and he really walked.

The pheasant hurriedly followed.

"Ah Qi." Meng Chan whispered in the back, "Don't go around. ”

Qixing nodded: "I know." ”

Having said that, she kept walking, and the pheasant followed closely behind, and the two of them went to the front yard.

Mengchan can't care about them anymore, just walk around, it's better to go out while it's messy, if the Zhai family really has something, so as not to be implicated.

The soldiers and horses of the Du Cha Division are not all over the Zhai Mansion, so there are still people in the house, most of them are servants, restrained and uneasy, it seems that they are going to do something but don't know what to do, and no one pays attention to the two women who see the Seven Star Pheasant walking around.

However, when I walked to the outer courtyard, a group of guards stood around me and blocked the way.

Seven stars didn't break in either, standing behind a group of male servants and looking this way, they saw at a glance a sword erected over the black oppressive crowd.

Zhu Chuan moved his shoulders and raised the six-foot sword that he was originally holding horizontally, as if carrying a big flag.

The six-foot sword was higher than his shoulder, and against the backdrop of the black background of the gold silk robe, he looked down on the people present.

Everyone knows that the Metropolitan Prosecutor was beheaded on the spot without a verdict.

I don't know who this sword will cut today?

A broad chair was placed in front of the main hall, and Huo Lian sat on it, looking down at her hands, as if she was distracted, until the eldest master of the Zhai family said, "Lord Huo, it's all here." ”

Huo Lian raised her head and looked at the large boxes and small boxes of gifts in the courtyard.

"Lord Zhai." He said, looking at Master Zhai, "It's also a coincidence, His Majesty Shicai also told me that life has been better in the past few years, and the wind of extravagance has risen again, so it can't go on like this, I happened to pass by your house, so I came to take a look, I hope that Lord Zhai's filial piety is commendable, but he can't forget his identity and be honest as an official." ”

If you really want to talk about extravagance, your Huo Lian's mansion should be the first to be copied, Master Zhai scolded in his heart, and his attitude was very respectful on the surface, and he even claimed that it was: "The birthday gift I received today is here, please take a look." ”

Huo Lian raised her chin in a gesture.

One of the guards took the book of rites and began to read, and as he read it, the other guards opened the boxes and baskets and baggage arranged one by one for verification.

In addition to the heavy chanting, the sound of unpacking and rummaging, and the sound of chaotic breathing all around seemed to have stopped.

Master Zhai lowered his eyes, as if he was listening to the list of gifts, but he didn't seem to listen.

It's useless to listen to this, whether the gift is expensive or not, whether it is extravagant, whether it is corruption or bribery, it is not in these things at all, but in Huo Lian's words.

If he wants to kill the Zhai family, even if it is a straw, he can be given the crime of greedy food and destroying farmers.

looked at Huo Lian sitting opposite, lowering her eyes, only focusing on the ornaments on her clothes, not caring about anything at all, what she opened.

Whether it is life or death, we can only wait for the will of God.

"Seven stars in Xucheng, Xizhou, a walnut wood wither."

The guards looked at the gift list.

Here, the guards opened a small red cloth baggage, this baggage is very shabby compared to other gifts, and there is really only a small wooden sculpture in it, and there is no painting, it looks inconspicuous, and the guards are going to throw it aside.

Huo Lian raised his head.

"Wood carving?" He said, "I'll take it." ”

All eyes were focused on the guard's hands, and Master Zhai was also dumbfounded, he didn't hear clearly who gave it clearly, but this gift was a bit ..... Shabby.

The size of the wooden carved fan, carved with a very common festive picture of birthday celebrations, the fairy mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, the smiling white-headed fairy, the fairy Weng holding the longevity peach, and a crane in front of the head against the knee, seems to be coquettish......

The carving is indeed good, lifelike, but nothing more, neither rare wood nor precious lacquer painting.

Huo Lian looked very seriously, suddenly smiled at Zhu Chuan behind him, and asked, "Guess, what is it?" ”

Zhu Chuan was holding the sword, he was also looking, and when he heard the question, he said, "Ornaments." ”

The expression was a little disdainful.

That's all it takes.

It is said that it is a toy for children and can be handed, and it is too shabby to celebrate a birthday.

Huo Lian smiled, her white teeth glistening in the sunlight.

"That's wrong." He said.
