42. Look before the temple
Although the emperor said that Huo Lian should roll over and talk back, Huo Lian did not roll over immediately.
Dealing with the affairs of the Metropolitan Judge, having a simple lunch, of course, all in a prison cell.
Although it is simple, the food on the table is very exquisite, much better than the old chef of the Du Chasi, originally Zhu Chuan planned to wait for the governor to stop eating, he took it to eat, anyway, the governor only ate one bowl and one plate.
As a result, who would have thought that the thin bamboo pole would have to eat one after another without stopping, and she would eat a few bites, so she put the rest in front of the governor, dish after plate, and the governor didn't look at it, so she ate it all.
Zhu Chuan glared at Qixing angrily.
Being tied up and being fed didn't delay her from eating!
Let the governor eat her leftovers, and eat so much!
"Governor, how are you eating?" He couldn't help but ask with concern, is there any discomfort?
This is the first time someone has asked him how he eats, how he eats, what can he not do? It's good to be alive if you don't die of hunger after eating.
Well, the taste is a little different these days, and after eating a meal, it feels messy.
Huo Lian glanced at the eucalyptus that was being removed, and said, "Got a new dish?" β
The women who were packing up hurriedly said yes.
Chunniang also had the courage to ask: "Do you think it's good?" β
Good no good? Huo Lian glanced at Qixing, who was sitting opposite and was being served and wiping his hands, and thought of her father sitting on the table prepared by King Jin and eating and drinking.
At that time, the rebellious young man who followed his father-in-law asked unceremoniously: "Isn't the ink man a short brown coat and a soup of pear weed?" β
The head of Na Luo held a glass of good wine that was said to be treasured by the King of Jin, and said: "This is actually pear weed, everything in the world has the same root and the same origin, but the appearance is different, there is no need to be rigid, rough can be used, exquisite can also be used, as long as it does not live up to its nature." β
Live up to your nature? What is nature?
"Hungry." Luo smiled, "So don't waste it." β
He drank it all.
In Huo Lian's sight, Qixing took a sip of tea, raised his head to rinse his mouth, and then spit it out.
It's like father and daughter.
The same meals are still varied, the delicacies of the mountains and seas or the salted bean cakes, it is the rule for her to eat all of them, is it good or not, does she understand?
Huo Lian retracted her gaze and threw down the Jinpa who was wiping her hands.
"Okay." He said.
Chunniang was surprised and delighted, when she used to eat, the governor never said much, let alone praised the good food.
In fact, she didn't dare to speak much in front of the governor in the past, but this time she accepted the pleas and dots of the cooks, and asked her to help explore the reaction of new dishes.
Although this young lady was tied up in a prison cell, she was different from Miss Wanwan, who used to either struggle and scream frantically, or remain motionless and dead, she was calm, ate and drank on time, slept on time, and read books, the atmosphere in the cell was not like a cell at all, and she looked much more approachable with Huo Dudu.
So Chun Niang had the courage to ask, and sure enough, she got an answer.
The four servant women happily withdrew, and Huo Lian also stood up and looked at Qixing sitting on the chair.
"I'll go into the palace to see Your Majesty." He said, without waiting for Qixing to speak, smiled and said, "But don't think about it, you can't go." β
What is the intention of that affectionate Lu Yizhi, he doesn't care, making His Majesty angry and furious, he doesn't care.
He just had to do what he had to do.
"Your fiancΓ© has affection, but I don't want to die, unless I die, no one can take you away."
Huo Lian said.
Obviously, the emperor is reluctant to let him die at the moment.
Zhu Chuan said fiercely on the side: "Did you hear it, it's useless to say that you are affectionate, we are all more powerful if we are not afraid of death." β
Seven Stars smiled and said, "Got it." He asked again, "Can you go to Linglong Workshop to send my embroidery frame, I still have some work to do." β
Zhu Chuan sighed: "What do you think of us as judges?" β
It's not enough to come and go freely, but also to move the embroidery frame and turn it into her workshop?
If one thing is not done, it will never affect her to do other things, Huo Lian glanced at her.
"Zhu Chuan, fetch it for her." He said.
Zhu Chuan swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth, and reluctantly responded.
"Also, you take someone to guard Linglong Fang." Huo Lian said, "If Miss Seven Stars leaves the cell half a step, she will bulldoze Linglong Fang." β
Then look at the seven stars.
"Although Miss Qixing doesn't recognize her father, as the head of the house, she must be the same as the head of Luo, and she will not ignore the people of Momen because she is alone."
Qixing nodded with a smile: "Of course." β
Zhu Chuan was in good spirits, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the governor." β
Huo Lian glanced at the two of them, turned around and strode away.
Zhu Chuan looked at Qixing and said coldly: "I know, we are all judges, but we will kill people." β
"Got it." Qixing said, lifting his chin to him, "Go and get me an embroidery frame." "Call another servant woman," Mrs. Xia came to open the book for me. β
Zhu Chuan is angry, where does he know this, he knows to urge him to work.
"It's coming, it's coming." Xia Niangzi came in and skillfully picked up a book from the desk and opened it, "Miss, I saw this last time, did you turn the page directly?" β
Zhu Chuan looked at the woman leaning on the chair, and the woman was holding the book in front of her, looking like a powerful and blessed child.
The poor governor wanted to go to the palace to kneel to His Majesty because of her, and was scolded by His Majesty.
Zhu Chuan couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, did he arrest her, was he asking for hardship?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After the festival, the court will be restored, in the winter mist, the courtiers walked through the city gate to the main hall, Liu Yan walked all the way, the officials made way for him according to their grades, and gradually came to the front, but the officials who arrived early in front gathered together, seemed to be discussing something, and did not notice that they did not let go of the way behind them.
"Came to kneel early in the morning?"
"No, I said that I came yesterday afternoon, knelt for a long time, and went back in the evening."
"Huh? Since he was punished for kneeling, how could he still go back to sleep halfway? β
"Naturally, it can't be according to common sense, but who made the family Huo Lian."
Huo Lian?
Liu Yan heard this and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a person kneeling in front of the solemn Great Dynasty Palace, dressed in blue light, exuding the chill of winter.
Although he was far away, he could already recognize it as Huo Lian.
"Then it seems that it is true."
"It must be true, so many people have seen it with their own eyes, and he scoops people up....."
"It seems that he forced people into the river..."
"Yesterday, Lu Hanlin came to see His Majesty, although he didn't know what he said, but the attendants outside heard His Majesty lose his temper and smashed the teacup."
Liu Yan heard their continued discussion and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" β
"Of course it's Huo Dudu who robbed it...."An official said, turning his head as he spoke, and seeing that it was Liu Yan, his voice couldn't help but pause, and he hesitated for a moment or continued to speak, "Rob Lu Hanlin's wife." β
Liu Yan frowned, what?
"No, no, it's a fiancΓ©e." Another official hurriedly added in a low voice.
What is the difference between a fiancΓ©e and a wife? Even if it's not a wife, it's unbearable to rob someone, Liu Yan's brows condensed: "Don't you care about Yushi?" β
In the past, when the husband and wife quarreled at home, they could still be referenced by the imperial history.
But.....
The officials smiled helplessly: "That's Huo Lian." β
Who would dare.
What's the use of participating, look at Huo Lian's style of kneeling during the day and going back to rest at night, it's obviously not a good thing.
"Whether it's useful or not is not something that Yushi has to consider." Liu Yan said, "Impeaching picket officials is what the imperial history should do. β
With that, he glanced around.
There are a lot of imperial histories in this, and when they see this sight, many people are busy avoiding it, to put it simply, it is to do it with their lives.....
Liu Yan saw the evasive gaze, and no longer named the name of the imperial historian, and said: "Then let's come to Dali Temple to play." β
Some of the officials raised their hands to express their respect, some seemed to be smiling, and some pulled Liu Yan and whispered to persuade them not to meddle in their affairs.
But Liu Yan failed to play, and the attendants spread the word that His Majesty was unwell and would be exempted from the court today.
Since his accession to the throne, the emperor has been diligent and rarely absent from the early dynasty, but today, the courtiers are not too surprised.
An official whispered to Liu Yan: "Your Majesty doesn't want everyone to talk about this matter. β
"Lu Hanlin didn't come either." Another official said, "Your Majesty, this is also concerned about Lu Hanlin's face." β
It's always a shame to be robbed of your wife.
Liu Yan suddenly thought of something: "Lu Hanlin's fiancΓ©e?" Isn't it Mr. Xiahou's house? How dare Huo Lian be so crazy? β
Although he didn't pay attention to these children's affairs, he had heard Mr. Xiahou's status often talked about.
Although Mr. Xiahou is only a doctor of Taixue, he is also the emperor's teacher, and if he is disrespectful to the teacher, he is disrespectful to the emperor.
Although Huo Lian is brutal, he is not a fool and will really anger the emperor.
Hearing him ask this, the officials' expressions became even more meaningful.
"Well, it's even harder to say...."
"Mr. Xiahou really wants Lu Hanlin to be his son-in-law, but Lu Hanlin has a bad wife in his family."
"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xiahou may not know."
"I've been accepting this disciple for so long, and I really don't know anything about being a teacher?"
Why is it still involved Mr. Xiahou, it is really a mess, Liu Yan frowned, and he was not interested in listening to this gossip anymore, so he walked out of the crowd.
Before leaving the Great Dynasty Palace, Liu Yan looked back again and saw that Huo Lian had already stood up from the front of the palace, looking like he would not kneel since he was not in the court.
Yes, he didn't kneel to show the emperor, but to the court officials.
Let the court officials see that it is he Huo Lian who is guilty, reckless, unruly, and domineering.
Liu Yan retracted his gaze and stopped looking at this ridiculous person, ridiculous things, he still has a lot to do, and there are people to pay attention to.
Back to Dali Temple, let the scribes inquire about this matter, sort out the first draft of impeachment, and then deal with the daily affairs of Dali Temple.
"My lord, it's not good." He whispered.
Liu Yan kept writing and ink in his hand, and hummed: "What? β
The attendant stepped forward again and lowered his voice: "Miss Seven Stars is no longer in Linglong Fang." β
The pen in Liu Yan's hand stopped for a moment.
