But now is not the time, one by one can only watch helplessly and regretfully, their eyes scanning back and forth in every part of the field.

After telling the truth, Cui Zhiyun returned to the capital water prison in a bad mood, wrote all his findings on the fold, and prepared to have a specific charter when he made a statement tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Cui Zhiyun hurried to the imperial city with heavy steps.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the Xuanzheng Palace, the officials who had been waiting here for a long time looked towards this somewhat deviant son of the family.

When they smelled the fishy smell in the air, they all smiled tacitly.

Everyone was bustling together, as if Cui Zhiyun had been isolated, and they couldn't see the treatment that Boling Cui's should have.

But in the next second, everyone watched Cui Zhiyun's brother Cui Wulang-Cui Xian arrive, and cautiously approached the compliments one by one.

Now no one knows that although Cui Zhiyun is the eldest son of the Boling Cui family, the most favored person of the Cui family is not him, and it may be said that the successor of the Cui family is not him.

Otherwise, why would the eldest son of the Boling Cui clan only live in the dilapidated place of the Dushui Prison? Cui Xian can stay in the household department with a low official position, but the role is not small, this is an official position that can directly communicate with the sage.

Therefore, the people who are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder greeted Cui Xian warmly one by one.

Cui Xian didn't think highly of himself because of this, moved his steps, walked in the direction of Cui Zhiyun, and saluted: "Meet Cui Jiancheng." ”

"Goro."

The voice without a trace of emotion made the smile on Cui Xian's face disappear in an instant, and he looked at the eldest brother who did not eat oil and salt, and he was also annoyed in his heart.

Continuing to move forward, he reminded: "A-Niang remembered that she would definitely meet you at today's court meeting, and specially asked a certain to remind the eldest brother that she was going home today, and A-Niang had something important to discuss." ”

After that, Cui Xian turned around and left, he believed that Cui Zhiyun would definitely go back when he heard these words, and the eldest brother had not returned home for nearly half a month.

The others looked at the two brothers who thought they were silently fighting, with surprised and understanding looks on their faces.

Without waiting for the others to see enough of the excitement, the internal supervisor pushed open the door of the Xuanzheng Hall and signaled that the officials of all departments and departments could come in.

Looking at the magnificent Xuanzheng Palace, everyone immediately withdrew the mocking smile on their faces, and walked towards their respective stations one after another with the incomprehensible eyes of the inner eunuchs.

Cui Zhiyun is the supervisor of the Dushui Supervisor, who is a five-grade official, and he is a relatively low-ranking official who can participate in the daily court meeting, so he stands not far from the door.

He looked at the dense figure in front of him, lowered his eyebrows, and reviewed the situation he wanted to explain today.

After a while, Emperor Jianming appeared on the stage, and everyone immediately bowed in the direction where the saint was, and shouted in unison: "Meet the saint!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the important thing to tell you today?"

When the words fell, there was a moment of tranquility in the entire court, Cui Zhiyun glanced at everyone and seemed to have nothing to say, his feet stepped to the left, and the figure immediately appeared in the empty aisle separating the officials on the left and right.

He saluted Emperor Jianming again and shouted, "The minister has something important to report." ”

Emperor Jianming looked at the familiar figure, and immediately understood that it was Cui Zhiyun, who in his opinion was the most courageous and far-sighted person in the Cui family, and couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face, and replied: "Cui Jian Cheng can be said to be. ”

Cui Zhiyun was fully prepared for what he said, and he informed him of the discovery of a place to hide the hidden salt in the east of the capital.

As the content of his words became more and more detailed and in-depth, the entire court became quiet, and except for his voice, even the sound of human breathing could not be heard.

The atmosphere at the court meeting was tense, and Zheng Wan was jubilant, because Wang Qu told her yesterday that they had other things to do after returning from the various divisions today.

Therefore, she needs to go to a designated place to retrieve the small fish by herself, and as soon as the morning meal is over, she will go to the destination with a happy pace.

Chapter 31 Garlic Red Shrimp

It's just that when she saw the people waiting for her here, she was still a little surprised and shouted: "Cow Fish Master! ”

Niu Xinlu was disposing of the fishing nets he had used this morning, and when he heard Zheng Wan's voice, he immediately turned to look at the person who came, and explained with a smile:

"Just now, Wang Qu and others passed by here, saying that the matter was urgent, and asked a certain lady to wait here to pick up something, right here."

He pointed to the barrel behind him, and his eyes looked in the direction of the barrel, where the small fish were swimming freely, and he could even see the trend of swarms.

Zheng Wan also looked in the direction of his finger, and when he found what he wanted, he immediately showed a sweet smile.

"Thank you for taking care of it, I'll take it back."

"The lady doesn't have to be in such a hurry, the fishing net in someone's hand is about to be disposed of. This barrel is not light even with the amount of fish in the water, so I still helped the lady to send it to the water prison. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Wan's eyes immediately looked towards the fishing net in Niu Xinlu's hand, and found that the gray-black fishing net in the other party's hand was dotted with several red figures.

She subconsciously moved closer to where Niu Xinlu was, and only when she got closer did she see what the creature was hanging from the fishing net.

Isn't this the crayfish that everyone loves in the future!

Although it is not the best season to eat crayfish, according to the size of the crayfish in front of you, even if it is not in season, this crayfish must be very satisfying to eat.

She pointed to the crayfish in the fishing net and said, "This ......."

Niu Xinlu thought that Zheng Wan didn't know what the red shrimp hanging on the fishing net was, and immediately explained:

"This creature is called the red crayw, which has a hard shell and prefers to live in overgrown areas on the banks of rivers. Today, when I caught a fish, I accidentally hung this fishing net on the shore, and even hung on the net with these red crayfish.

You see, the two pairs of big pincers of this red shrimp still clamp the fishing net, which is quite troublesome to handle. ”

As he spoke, he took out the red shrimp hanging on it, trampled it to death, and threw it back into the river.

When Zheng Wan saw this scene, he immediately stopped him in a loud voice: "Slow cow fish master!" ”

As soon as Niu Xinlu's fingertips touched the pair of big pliers, he heard Zheng Wan's sudden shout, and he was frightened and immediately withdrew his hand.

Turning around, he looked at Zheng Wan blankly and said, "What is the important thing for Mrs. Zheng to mention?" ”

Zheng Wan also knew that his voice was a little loud just now, so he immediately withdrew his open mouth, showed a familiar smile, and explained:

"Actually, I wanted to ask the cow fish master if he could give away the red crayfish that he didn't want."

Niu Xinlu said with a frightened face: "Could it be that the lady can also make delicious food with this red crayfish?" ”

In his memory, the red crayfish is more terrifying than the crab, and it will burrow holes, causing losses to his family.

What's more, even if people eat crabs, they have to wait until the autumn when the crabs are at their fattest, and use the crab's meat and paste to make other delicacies.

Can you really eat this weird and harmful looking crayfish?

With Niu Xinlu's incredulous eyes, Zheng Wan smiled and nodded, explaining, "I just want to try." ”

Niu Xinlu glanced at the juice from stepping on the red crayfish under his feet, and for some reason felt that Zheng Wan at this time suddenly looked a little scary, after all, what good person would eat red crayfish?

However, in the end, he was tempted by the morning food he had eaten for these days, and he agreed to Zheng Wan's request.

even carefully helped Zheng Wan to take out the red crayfish hanging on the fishing net completely, looking at a pair of pliers bigger than his thumb, he felt a chill in his heart.

At the same time, I began to imagine what Zheng Wan would make out of these terrifying-looking red crayfish?

Soon, with the efforts of the two, nearly three catties of crayfish were taken out of the fishing net.

Zheng Wan just looked at the crayfish in his hand, and began to imagine how delicious it should be to make such a fat crayfish.

It's a pity that she can only imagine in her own brain, snickering happily.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, because of Cui Zhiyun's words, the entire hall was silent, and everyone wished that they would not be able to go to court today, or curl up their bodies, hoping not to be seen by Emperor Jianming above.

Cui Zhiyun's words continued, and with a voice: "The evidence of this matter is conclusive, and I implore the sage to issue an order to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was even more eager that they could disappear at this moment, especially those with bad intentions, cold sweat broke out on the top of their heads, but they were afraid that the saint would see his actions of wiping sweat, so he endured it until beads of sweat slid down his cheeks from his forehead, and then slid down on the official uniform on his body through his chin.

Emperor Jianming did not speak for the first time to show his attitude, but squinted his eyes and looked back and forth at the courtiers standing below.

Finally, someone couldn't stand such a tense atmosphere anymore, and his legs became weak and he fell directly to the ground.

"Boom!"

□□ smashed straight on the stone slab with a dull sound, and fainted to the ground, and the people standing around him saw this scene, and their eyes were split, for fear that this person would affect themselves.

At the same time, he is also angry, don't do anything to sell illicit salt if you are so small, don't affect others for no reason.

When Emperor Jianming saw this scene, his tone was the same as when he first went to court, and he said gently and seriously: "Take Li Hu City Supervisor down." ”

The others shuddered when they heard it, because this kind of Jianming Emperor was even more difficult to deal with, and if he accidentally lost not only his own head, but also the Nine Clans.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes invariably turned to Cui Zhiyun's direction, and they didn't understand how this person found out the illegal salt from the river canal.

Just now, I thought that Cui Zhiyun's official position was inferior to Cui Xian's, but now his expression is wrong. A water supervisor who serves various divisions and provides ingredients and sacrifices can still find such a big thing, and his eyes can't help but change back and forth when he looks at Cui Zhiyun.

Emperor Jianming above was still looking at his group of courtiers back and forth, and noticed that everyone's eyes often stayed on Cui Zhiyun's body as if they were nothing.

He felt that it was time for him to accept this person's surrender, there were not many such smart courtiers in the family, and even fewer people could understand the difference between kings and ministers.

So, he sat up straight, looked into the distance, and a deep voice came from his throat:

"Since there is such a matter, it is up to us to find out. This time, the matter of illegal salt transfer and trafficking was strictly investigated, Dali Siqing was the main judge, and Cui Jiancheng assisted from the side, and it was bound to arrest such black sheep! ”

"No."

Dali Siqing and Cui Zhiyun immediately stood in the middle aisle, saluted Emperor Jianming above, and took over the task of the private salt case.

After the inner supervisor saw the two retreating, he shouted loudly again: "Something to start, nothing to retreat!" ”

This time, no one stood up, everyone was stunned by what Cui Zhiyun pointed out just now, and their brains were still a little unresponsive.

When they saw Cui Zhiyun walking alone, they were anxious to follow up to find out the news, but they didn't think of speeding up their steps and walking up, but they only saw the back of Cui Zhiyun leaving in a hurry.

As for the other chief judge, Dali Siqing, is even more of an old slippery head, and everyone doesn't even see his shadow.

The two of them were gone, and everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Cui Zhiyun's father Cui Hao, the current ruler of the Cui family with five surnames and seven wangs, and wanted to hear his opinion, after all, everyone is a family, and everyone has an inextricable relationship.

Cui Hao naturally didn't pretend not to see everyone's eyes, suppressed the cold and hard expression on his face, and replied:

"This matter will be asked clearly, you are not in a hurry."

"In this way, then thank you Cui Xianggong!"

Hearing Cui Hao's words, everyone was relieved, everyone was also breaking bones and connecting tendons, presumably Cui Zhiyun always had to listen to his father's words, right?

At this moment, everyone ignores the fact that Cui Zhiyun appeared in the capital water prison, and there is a faint sense that the Cui family is letting it go, is such a person really willing to be at the mercy of the Cui family?

After Cui Zhiyun left the Xuanzheng Palace, he immediately returned to the capital water prison and split the clues they had discovered earlier into two.

Then he copied the manuscript he wrote based on his findings, and after all the documents were sorted out, he immediately went to Dali Temple with all the evidence.

As soon as the guards of Dali Temple heard that Cui Zhiyun was coming, they immediately invited someone forward and said, "Cui Jian Cheng, please, Wen Shaoqing is already waiting for you inside." ”

Hearing that it was Shaoqing who was dealing with things with him, Cui Zhiyun's eyes flashed with some kind of same emotion, but soon returned to normal.

His face was as calm as usual, and he appeared with the guards at Wen Shaoqing's office.

When he saw Wen Shaoqing, he immediately saluted and greeted: "I've seen Wen Shaoqing!" ”
