Yang Ruoning, Chapter 16
The interrogation hall of Dali Temple.
Qingye sat in the middle of the hall, next to him stood Dali Siqing, and Luo Yuan stood on the other side. Yang Ruoning and Jiang Yuan knelt in the middle of the lobby.
It was the bastard's father who came in a hurry. This person Yang Ruoning has a familiar face, he often comes to Fan Tower, Yang Ruoning heard the girl in the building remind her that this person is Jiang Wanfu, the commander of the Beijing Praetorian Guard of Zheng Sipin. He is the sheriff of the capital and manages the security of the entire Bianliang. With a little kinship (his brother-in-law's nephew's daughter-in-law is the prime minister Jiang Qi, that is, the distant niece of Aono's uncle's wife), he holds a lot of power, so he is also powerful in the capital on weekdays, no wonder his son is so arrogant.
As soon as Jiang Wanfu entered the lobby, he saw the embarrassed appearance of his precious son, and immediately yelled. "Yuan'er, my baby Yuan'er, is there anything hurt? Come on, go and ask the young master for a doctor! Yuan'er, does it hurt anywhere? Show it to Dad. ”
When the bastard saw his father coming, he immediately felt that he had a back. Just knelt beside him without saying a word, and suddenly became energetic at this moment, howling like a dead mother, "Dad, Yuan'er is really hard." I was bullied by two women today. Yuan'er is now in pain all over her body to death. Dad, if Yuan'er goes today, Dad, there will be no son, and the Jiang family will cut off the incense! Dad, you must make decisions for Yuan'er today. ”
Yang Ruoning looked coldly at the performance of this pair of drama spirit father and son, and sneered. Hmph, you bastard has a bad life, you were born a thousand years late, and the Oscar winner is you.
"Dad, it's this who hurt me-" Jiang Yuan, the little brute, dragged a long cry and pointed at Yang Ruoning to complain to his father.
Yang Ruoning heard Jiang Yuan finally mention herself, she raised her chin and squinted at the two of them fearlessly and arrogantly.
Jiang Wanfu rushed towards Yang Ruoning with an arrow step, raised his hand and slashed down at Yang Ruoning, "You cheap slave, you dare to ......" Before the words fell, his hand was grabbed fiercely.
Luo Yuan said coldly, "Lord Jiang, in front of the emperor, please respect yourself. ”
Only then did Jiang Wanfu notice Qingye sitting in the lobby. He hurriedly knelt down, "The minister was in a hurry, and he didn't salute the emperor, the minister should die!" ”
Aono waved his hand impatiently.
When everyone is ready, the trial can begin. The court trial was presided over by Dali Siqing.
Although Yang Ruoning knew that Jiang Yuan would distort the facts, she didn't expect that his ability to make up stories would also be Oscar-level. Jiang Yuan said that it was Su Su who fell and injured herself, and he wanted to help her up, but he didn't expect Yang Ruoning to break in. He said that Yang Ruoning misunderstood his movements, and began to attack him without asking black and white, and everything he did was to stop Yang Ruoning. He also said that he drank alcohol and didn't remember anything, he didn't remember beating people, and he didn't pinch Yang Ruoning's neck, and he was innocent.
After listening to the respective statements of the two, Qingye asked Dali Siqing, "What do you think Qing should do?" ”
The Dali Siqing replied, "Back to the emperor, Jiang Yuan made a mistake after drinking, and I subjectively did not mean the situation at that time, and Lord Jiang was also willing to pay for the woman's medical expenses." What do you think of the settlement between the two parties? ”
This Dali Siqing is obviously biased towards Jiang Yuan's bastard, and he doesn't care about what he says at all.
Yang Ruoning thought to herself, yes, here, it is very common for a noble son to beat someone in a brothel, and a maid who is a miscellaneous man in a brothel injured his noble son in order to resist, which is unheard of. After calming down, she clearly foresaw how this would end.
But she was still unwilling. She immediately said, "What if I don't reconcile? ”
"If the girl must be pursued. According to the laws of this dynasty, the girl intended to hurt people, and she would be punished with ten strokes, and the Qinglou woman was owned by Jiang Yuan, and the law did not stipulate how to treat her during the period, and he himself was also unintentional, at most he was not closed for one day as a punishment. So think about it for the girl, it's better to turn big things into small things, and turn small things into small things. ”
"I refuse." Yang Ruoning simply refused. She doesn't want to make a big thing a small thing, a small thing.
"Miss Yang......" Luo Yuan on the side wanted to dissuade him, but Yang Ruoning stretched out his hand and motioned for him to stop.
"I don't accept it, if the laws of the imperial court really stipulate that, although I think it is extremely unreasonable, but the law is the law, and I have to abide by the laws here when I come here. I accept my punishment, then I have to ...... him too" Yang Ruoning pointed to Jiang Yuan on the side, "...... Imprisoned overnight. ”
"Yang Ruoning!" Above Qingye shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, this cheap maid ......" Jiang Wanfu was anxious, and his voice was interrupted by a person who hurried outside the door. When the man entered the hall, he first saluted the people present, and then said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister has a few words to say to the emperor. ”
Aono was stunned, he didn't expect the news to reach Uncle Guo so quickly. He was silent for a few seconds, then waved his hand to let the man closer. After the man said something in Aono's ear, he stepped aside. Aono then said, "Let's leave it at that." Jiang Yuan lost his temper after drinking, and Miss Yang was also helpful. It's getting late, so let's all go back and rest. ”
The emperor's words were final. Yang Ruo stared at the smug ridicule on Jiang Yuan's face that could not be concealed on the side, and his heart was very dissatisfied, helpless and sad.
After the short and overly formal trial, Yang Ruoning, who came out first, stood in the open space in front of the government office. She looked up at the cold moon. She understood that in this society where aristocratic power was supreme, this result was probably the most common. She was powerless to fight, she just felt helpless.
Over there, Jiang Wanfu took Jiang Yuan out of the door. When they walked past Yang Ruoning, they had different expressions on their faces. Jiang Wanfu was suspicious and cautious, he didn't know why this ordinary woman in front of him could no longer be ordinary alarm the emperor, Lord Luo, and even the prime minister at the same time; Jiang Yuan, who was following behind, was triumphant, and when he walked in front of Yang Ruoning, he raised his chin and made a neck-scratching motion. Yang Ruoning gave him a middle finger with an expressionless face.
Then came out Aono and Luo Yuan.
"Ruoning, how are you injured?"
Yang Ruoning shook her head, although she thought that her face was already swollen, but this was just an external injury, it would be fine in a few days, and it would not be in the way.
So she replied, "Just apply some medicine, it's not in the way." ”
"I'll find a doctor tomorrow to show you," Luo Yuan was not at ease.
"No, I'm really fine."
Qingye on the side wanted to speak and stopped. Yang Ruoning didn't want to blame him, after all, he was a little emperor with no real power and a short life.
She said to Aono, "In my hometown, someone once said, 'When good people are indifferent, evil will prevail without a fight.'"
(Evil t

Aono was stunned, and the expression on his face told her that he didn't understand. She patted Aono on the shoulder, "This world is originally full of injustice, and there are a lot of helplessness and disappointments in life, and it is now, and it will be a thousand years later...... I don't blame you. ”
She glanced at Luo Yuan, who was standing on the side. Anyway, I hope you understand what that means, she thought. With that, she turned around and left the two who wanted to stop talking, and left directly.
Without looking back, she waved her hand at the two people standing behind her, "It's so late, let's all go back and rest, see you back."
And another result of this turmoil was that the big shopkeeper of Fan Lou dismissed Yang Ruoning from her post and restricted her to leave within one day on the grounds of not listening to the leader's command and acting impulsively.
Yang Ruoning looked at her hands on her hips, foaming at the water and scolding her flower mother, a little distracted. She pondered where she was going to stay tonight. Not only did all the money earned in the past few months be lost to Fan Lou, but it was also not enough to owe Fan Lou more than a dozen taels of silver. She thought she was going to sleep on the streets tonight. At this time, she crossed Hua Ma's shoulder and saw a figure standing in the corridor not far away, and the person was shaking a fan and looking at this side.
It's to come and see the lively Luo Yuan.
Suddenly, she had an idea.
Yang Ruoning showed a toothy smile like a standard beaver rat at Luo Yuan. The indebted poor worker has no dignity, and her next employer is not far away.
In this way, Yang Ruoning lived in Luo Yuan's mansion. Luo Yuan's mansion is located in the northeast corner of Bianliang City, backed by a hill, the place is relatively remote, but his mansion is very large, and extremely quiet and elegant. Yang Ruoning's room was arranged in a beautiful courtyard behind the Moon Gate. A bamboo forest is planted at the entrance of the courtyard, and the courtyard cannot be seen from the outside of the courtyard, but the concealment is excellent. The courtyard is planted with unknown small white flowers, the eaves are covered with wisteria, and in the middle of the courtyard is a stout ginkgo tree. A swing is tied to the trunk of the tree, and under the tree there is a stone table and several stone benches.
The person who guided Yang Ruoning was called Uncle Zhong, and he took Yang Ruoning to the door of a room and said, "This is the girl's residence." ”
Yang Ruoning's bedroom was on the left hand side of the small courtyard, she stretched out her head to look and found that although the furnishings in the house were simple, they were extremely clean.
"What about the other rooms, can I use them?" Yang Ruoning asked.
"This row is the adult's study and bedroom." Uncle Zhong pointed to a row of houses on the right side of the courtyard and said.
"Oh," Yang Ruoning looked around, not impressed at first, she asked casually, "With such a big courtyard, why is General Luo's bedroom and study so big?" ”
Uncle Zhong replied, "Adults like to collect treasures and ancient books, and the other rooms are used as warehouses, only this wisteria garden has rooms that can be lived." ”
"Huh? So where do the others live? ”
"I live in the wing room on the other side of the gate and am responsible for guarding the door, and sometimes I will take care of the courtyard for the adults, and the adults don't have maids before the girls come, and the adults do everything themselves."
"Huh? So I'm the only girl here who does chores to make people call? ”
"Exactly."
