Chapter 257: Parade in the Streets
[I'll knock!] System, didn't you tell me that Xie Changchen is a villain!! 】
Plum berry has been stupefied by the famous scene name just checked-in!
What do you mean by "positive and opposition"?
The heroine must be "positive"?
And what about the "anti"?
It's not Xie Changchen, can it still be her plum berry who is present?!
"No wonder ......"
"What?"
"No wonder it's so lovely~"
Since ancient times, villains have been lovable~
When Mei Berry came back to his senses, he saw Mei You staring at him with the eyes of a dead fish.
Plum berry: "......"
"What are you thinking about when you're eating?"
As if the confrontation just now was just a short-lived dream, at this moment, eating the food arranged by Xie Changchen, Mei Berry was afraid that Xie Changchen would directly poison Mei You.
Hmm, I ate a lot just now?
"You've been dead since just now, what's wrong? Xie Changchen's departure hit you hard? ”
"Not really!"
When she said this, Mei Berry hurriedly shook her head and blinked sincerely: "Didn't you say that you want to have a good relationship with the other party and let him help us investigate?" Just, just like you just did...... What do I say later? ”
As he spoke, Mei Berry's voice became quieter, and for Mei You's attitude just now, Mei Berry only felt like a serious teaching director had caught two elementary school chickens who were in early love.
Ay?
Plum berries suddenly realize that their analogy is not quite right.
She didn't have a puppy love!
"It's okay, anyway, I didn't have a good face for him before, and I won't be jealous because of this time. It is estimated that people are also used to it. ”
Saying that, Mei You ate with a nonchalant face, and Mei Berry was choked by Mei You's indifferent attitude.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the heroine really didn't give the villain a good face!
"Sister, how did you find out that Xie Chang knew him...... Ah, why don't you like Xie Changchen? ”
Almost blurted out how could she know that Xie Changchen was the villain, and Mei Berry braked in time.
"If you don't like it, you don't like it, it's nothing." Mei You didn't understand why Mei Berry asked this, she turned her head to meet Mei Berry's curious eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe...... Because the same kind repels each other. ”
Mei You boasted that she was not a good person, and in the same way, she felt that Xie Changchen was not a decent person.
"Huh?"
Plum Berry was stunned.
Here's how to say it.
"But that doesn't stop us from working together, you know?"
Plum berry: 0.0
I don't understand it more and more.
Mei Berry couldn't help biting her chopsticks, and began to knock on the system in private: [Tong, what does the heroine mean by this? The protagonist cooperates with the villain, so why can the villain still be called a villain, is the other party going to stab the knife and betray in the end? 】
System: [Maybe...... Shouldn't they cooperate themselves? 】
Plum Berry: ?
This special system is also here to play dumb riddles?
[I want to buy books, I want to read the originals. 】
[Host, have you forgotten that you gave a lot of money to your parents before you left home?] After that, you ate and drank all the way, and you bought and bought, and you didn't have five thousand taels of silver on you. 】
Plum berries: !!
What a bad luck rush this is!
When she doesn't buy books, her purse is bulging, and when she buys books, she can't come up with the money?
Seeing Mei Berry's eyebrows tightened, Mei You thought that Mei Berry was distressed about her treatment of Xie Changchen.
Mei You thought that Mei Berry was in a dilemma, so she couldn't help but ask: "I will try my best to put away my hostility in the future, as long as he doesn't change his attitude." ”
Plum Berry: ??
[Is the villain still perverted? ] 】
Mei Berry, who came back to his senses, heard Mei You's words and asked the system, but the system ignored Mei Berry again.
"Sister, how did you find out that he was a pervert?"
Mei You's casual words didn't expect Mei Berry to take it seriously, and asked herself this question seriously.
Can she say that she found that the other party's eyes on Plum Berry were not innocent?
"Nothing."
Mei You, who silently stuffed a mouthful of white rice, obviously wanted to end the topic as soon as possible, so she said again: "The summons of the Queen Mother is estimated to take a few days, do you want to take a walk in the imperial capital?" ”
"Okay~"
Meiberry does not have a certain concept of the prosperity of the imperial capital, even in later generations, it is still the beautiful picture scroll that has been handed down to the prosperity of the ancient capital.
"I heard...... The emperor has no curfew, why don't you go shopping tonight? ”
Mei Berry is better to take action than to implement the heartbeat, let alone go shopping at night, Mei Berry will take Mei You out in the evening.
Because of its own "navigation", Meiberry directly navigated to the restaurant on the edge of the central street with the most prosperous night view.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Mei Berry pulled Mei You directly to the table near the window on the second floor of the restaurant to take a seat, ordered delicious food and began to look at the scenery outside the window.
The bustle of Central Street can be bustling day and night, because the street faces the Yonghan River, which runs through the capital, and the street is lined with land merchants and vendors, and there are various pleasure boats and boats carrying goods floating along the river.
For a while, Meiberry only felt that her eyes were not enough.
However, before she could see the process of the lights, she saw a group of familiar black-clothed people, all of whom were riding horses, dragging a prisoner wearing a wooden flail through the central street with a long chain behind them.
Everywhere they went, pedestrians avoided one after another, and before they could dodge, they were whipped away.
It seemed to have taken care of the speed of the many, unkempt prisoner, and the black men on horseback were very slow.
But no matter how slow the horses were, the people with the shackles behind them still staggered and staggered through the streets.
Plum Berry saw that the iron chain on the other man's ankle had rubbed his ankle all over the ground with blood, and there were blood-colored footprints on the ground wherever he passed.
"Little Er, what's going on?"
Just as Xiao Er was serving tea, Mei Berry whispered to someone to ask what was going on downstairs.
"Yo, I'm afraid the two young ladies are newcomers. This is the official who made the mistake to parade the public in the streets with flails, and it has been like this for almost a month, once in the morning and once in the evening. ”
"What has this man done to be so humiliated?"
Mei You frowned, looking at the embarrassed appearance of this person as he walked through the crowd of people watching him, Mei You knew that this punishment could be regarded as a life worse than death.
It's just that she asked, but Xiao Er looked around first, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I heard that it was a perjury to frame the book of the Ministry of Rites." ”
"Well, that's a bit too much of a punishment, isn't it?"
Mei Berry looked at the bloody footprints on the street that had not yet dried, and thought to herself that the punishment for framing the officials of the current court was so severe?
"If it's just like this, where would you use this, and use the people of the prison department to punish you?"
When Mei Berry heard the new word "Imperial Prison Division", she turned her head to look at the group of men in black who had already left.
Isn't this exactly the same as what I met in Yunzhou Mansion before?
Without waiting for Mei Berry to inquire about the Imperial Prison Division, he heard the little second say again: "I heard that this person made perjury and framed the court official in order to retract his confession." ”
"Retract a confession?"
What Xiao Er said about it, the one who can use it to retract his confession must be a sinner who has made a mistake.
But even a young man in the market is only willing to retract his confession, not to a sinner or a criminal.
Looking at the other party's face at the moment, he showed pity for the person who was parading the street, and the embarrassed look when he talked about the matter, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he had something else.
And Mei Berry also looked down, although the onlookers on both sides of the street just now pointed and pointed, but they did not have a look of disdain, and they were even more puzzled in their hearts.
"To whom do you retract your confession?"
"Former Taifu, Xie Qi."
Berry: You showed me this when I first came?
