16 Chapter 16
Lu Anxun was neither interrogated nor convicted in Kaifeng Mansion. Three meals a day are good to eat and drink, and there is a variety of dishes, which has the meaning of letting him live for a long time.
After feeding the mosquitoes for a few nights, Lu Anxun was furious.
"Bring the paper." He shouted.
The official hurriedly went to get the paper and studied the ink for him, only to see him wave his big hand and write a confession with a smile.
The confession is very detailed, from why he beat people, how he beat them, what personal feuds they had, etc. The sincerity of the words and the profound remorse are all moving.
As if he had seen a ghost, the official ran out of the door with a confession in his hand.
"Oh no! Lu Zhuangyuan pleaded guilty! ”
Gong Ji'an, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion, stayed on the concubine's couch last night, and the concubine's diligent service made him get up with a spring breeze today. However, when he stepped into the palace, he heard everyone talking everywhere.
"What?" He asked.
The official said: "My lord, Lu Zhuangyuan is ...... pleaded guilty and offered to go to jail. ”
Hearing this, Gong Ji'an's face was strange.
"Show me the guilty plea!"
.
Lu Anxun pleaded guilty, and everyone was shocked and incredible.
Some people think that he resigned himself to compromise, after all, his stepfather and future father-in-law have tried hard for so long and still have not been able to turn things around.
Others think that he was forced to confess his sins on his own initiative. It means that since then, he has been in prison, and his dirty reputation has become a historical mark that cannot be washed away. Not to mention entering the Hanlin Academy, it is impossible to be an official in this life.
Is he crazy?
Gong Ji'an thinks so!
Xiao Yi thinks so!
Together with Lu Anxun's stepfather, Father Su, and Mr. Qiu, he also thinks so!
However, the person concerned, Lu Anxun, is holding a long-handled round mirror at this moment.
Although he is not very exquisite, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to his image, after all, the heroes and heroes in the script are all chic and handsome characters.
But right now, he was bitten one, two, three, four, or five mosquito bags on his face, which was really ...... Very aggrieved.
After a while, he put down the mirror and walked to the door: "Chen Huaisheng, is there any ointment?" ”
Chen Huaisheng hurriedly came over, with a sad face like a dead father: "Brother An, it's time for this, you don't care about the mosquito bag." Your confession is in Shaoyin's hands, and you may have to suffer hardship. ”
"What's the trouble?"
"Go to prison, the mosquitoes in the prison are more fierce than this."
“...... Why didn't you say it earlier. ”
Because Lu Anxun pleaded guilty, the case would be suspicious if it dragged on. After lunch, his assault case was quickly concluded, and he was detained for half a month according to the law, and a fine of 100 yuan was sufficient.
However, no one expected that just half a day after Lu Anxun was imprisoned, he wrote another letter of redress, bluntly saying that his confession was a last resort, and the hidden circumstances were complicated and thrilling, and asked for a retrial of the case.
I don't know how this letter of redress of grievances went straight to the hands of Qi Yuan, the picket prison director.
Now, things are getting bigger.
.
The Picket Criminal Prison Department deals with the wrongful and unjust cases in each prison, no matter what crime you commit, but if there is a mistake or injustice, the Criminal Prison Department will definitely retry it, even if the death row prisoners who are imprisoned in Dali Temple can interfere beyond their authority.
Moreover, the Criminal Prison Department handles the case, and the means can be described as sharp. Even if it is a wrongful case, the conspiracy, framing, and entanglement of interests in it can be clearly investigated. Often a small case can pull out more than a dozen of them.
In a word, as long as the case reaches the Criminal Prison Division, it is not as simple as the case itself.
When Xiao Yi heard the news, he was stunned at first, and then he was furious.
"Uncle," Xiao Yi asked, "How did people become like this in your territory?" ”
"I didn't expect that either." Gong Ji'an was secret: "According to the plan, originally this case was dragged out first, at least until the people of the Hanlin Academy were selected." What is the material...... This Lu Anxun is really cunning, and he came to draw a salary from the bottom of the cauldron. ”
"What now?" Xiao Yi asked.
Gong Ji'an shook his head: "In the morning, the people from the Criminal Prison Department came and took the confession and Lu Anxun away, and now the case is out of my scope, and I can't do anything." ”
Xiao Yi closed his eyes and said heavily, "Uncle, there is a big disaster this time." ”
When the case arrives, the Criminal Prison Division is not as simple as a beating case. Lu Anxun has his handle in his hand, the original Taixue building collapsed, and there is also the matter of Wan Niang......
Xiao Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore: "I'm afraid that you will also be involved, uncle, after all, the previous case was through your hands." ”
How could Gong Ji'an not know?
Lu Anxun's case was closed by his hands, and now Lu Anxun is crying out for injustice, which must have nothing to do with him. If the matter in front of him is pulled out again, he will lose his official position at least and go to prison at worst.
Gong Ji'an was so anxious that he burned his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "For today's plan, I have to ask the Hou Ye to go to the Guogong Mansion for a trip." ”
Xiao Yi groaned: "Okay, I'll go and explain to my father." ”
.
Lu Anxun fed mosquitoes in Kaifeng Mansion for five days, and went to the Criminal Prison Department on the sixth day.
When he arrived at the Criminal Prison Division and saw his former rival, he stood in the patio with his arms crossed: "Lord Qi, the grass people have been wronged, I will cooperate with all interrogations, just one request." ”
"Say."
Qi Yuan's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and the corners of his lips were only slightly hooked.
Lu Anxun said: "Help me arrange a comfortable room, and then get a bottle of beauty cream." ”
“......”
Qi Yuan left expressionlessly, and Lu Anxun was taken by the official to a room behind the Criminal Prison Division. The wing room looks ordinary from the outside, but it is staggering inside.
Sandalwood tables and chairs, silver porcelain, gold wire screen couches, and exquisite cedar bonsai, and even the tea are newly picked in the West Lake Longjing this spring.
Lu Anxun asked, "This is here?" ”
The official said, "This is where we adults take a rest on weekdays. ”
Lu Anxun squirmed with contempt, this Qi Yuan was really delicate, and even the place to take a nap was so luxurious.
.
When Su Juan arrived, Lu Anxun was applying beauty cream, and there was still unkneaded milky cream on the left side of his face.
"Lu Anxun, how did you become like this?" Su Juan was surprised.
Lu Anxun covered half of his face: "Why did you come?" ”
Su Wan's heart softened, and the little princess was wronged.
"Oops, missed me?" She walked over.
“......”
Lu Anxun turned his head and continued to tinker with his beauty cream.
Su Juan sat down: "How did you get it?" ”
"Mosquito bites." Lu Anxun gritted his teeth: "I suspect that Gong Ji'an did it on purpose, there are three large water tanks in front of the door of the house where I sleep, and there are many flowers and plants, and there are as many mosquitoes as cow hair at night." ”
"You're not going to light a mosquito repellent coil?"
"It's burning, it's useless."
"It's pathetic." Su Juan snatched the ointment: "I'll come." ”
Her white and tender fingers dipped some ointment and gently rubbed the mosquito bag on Lu Anxun's face.
His fingers were warm, touching his itchy skin, Lu Anxun was not very comfortable, and simply closed his eyes.
"At first, my father and Uncle Lin heard that you confessed your sin, and they were so worried. You are really, why didn't you reveal this plan in advance, it worries us. ”
Lu Anxun asked, "Are you also worried?" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Su Wan's hands were a little heavier, and he rubbed Lu Anxun to hum.
"Don't move, it's not good yet." Su Juan continued.
Lu Anxun said: "This matter is unexpected, if you wait for Gong Ji'an to react, it will not be so smooth." ”
Su Juan nodded, and asked again: "Now that the case has arrived at the Criminal Prison Division, it should go well, right?" ”
Lu Anxun hooked his lips and smiled evilly.
Smoothly! How could it not go well!
Qi Yuan and Xiao Yi secretly have a little bit of unknown "love and hatred", on weekdays, Qi Yuan is not good at revenge because of his identity, but now that he has Xiao Yi's handle, it is strange not to put him to death.
.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Su Xian came back from outside, and after entering, she saw the servant leading a person through the verandah.
She stopped: "The ......"
If you are not mistaken, that should be Gong Ji'an, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion, and Lu Anxun's case is in his hands.
After thinking about it, Su Xian asked, "What about the second master?" Can you go home? ”
The maidservant said, "I'm back, I'm in the study." ”
.
Den.
Gong Ji'an drank it all with the tea cup when he entered the door, and then asked, "How is the matter?" ”
In the past two days, he couldn't hear any movement on Qi Yuan's side, and the whole of the Criminal Prison Department was Qi Yuan's henchmen, and his tone was very strict. He was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep, and his mouth was foaming.
But what about Xiao Yi?
"Father said it was difficult." He said.
"How hard is it? The founding prince and Qi Yuan are father and son, and if he says a word, he will not ......"
Xiao Yi stopped him: "Uncle, the relationship between the founding prince and Qi Yuan is no longer a secret, if it was possible before, now that Qi Yuan is full-fledged, how can a founding prince influence him?" ”
"What then?" Gong Ji'an regretted: "When you sent people to make trouble, I persuaded you that Lu Anxun was a thorn in the thorn that was not easy to mess with, but now it's okay, Lu Anxun didn't clean it up but put us in it." ”
Outside the door, Su Xian heard this, and her blood clotted all over her body. It was as if something was surging up in the body, gathering in the bottom of the eyes that was sore and uncomfortable.
What kind of beast did she marry!
hated that he still stupidly believed his words, thinking that he would help Lu Gongzi. But he didn't want to, he planned all this.
Su Xian trembled with anger.
"Who?" At that moment, the door opened from the inside.
Seeing Su Xian standing outside the door, Xiao Yi's face was ugly.
Gong Ji'an was also a little embarrassed, his uncle and nephew conspired against Su Xian's future sister-in-law, and it was really undignified to be caught by Su Xian.
He coughed and said to Xiao Yi: "I'll go back, you ...... Think about it again. ”
As soon as Gong Ji'an left, Xiao Yi spoke: "Why are you ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the face, and it hurt hotly.
Xiao Yi was incredible, his eyes were gloomy as water.
"Instead of blaming me, you should go back and ask your future good sister-in-law what he did against me! I could have found a shortage in the household department, but he single-handedly destroyed it. ”
Su Xian stared at him disappointedly: "I know that you are unbearable, but I don't know that you are so unbearable!" ”
She wanted to fight again, but her wrist was grabbed by Xiao Yi.
"Su Xian, don't be ashamed of your face, how can I allow you to be presumptuous again and again in my Zhongyong Marquis Mansion!"
"Xiao Yi, do you think I care about your grievances with Lu Gongzi? How you love to fight in the officialdom has nothing to do with me, but you shouldn't humiliate my fourth sister's reputation, how is your move different from a beast? ”
Xiao Yi sneered: "Fourth sister? I think she is the fourth sister, but she can be her brother-in-law? Do you want to go back and ask your good fourth sister what she did? ”
"What did you say?"
Xiao Yi shook her off: "A Lu Anxun, a fourth sister of yours, are not fuel-efficient lamps." ”
.
On the way back from the "Madame......" the maidservant was worried: "Do you want to tell the lord and the lady about this?" ”
Su Xian tried to suppress her tears. She couldn't cry, she couldn't cry for that wolf-hearted person, and she shouldn't cry for her stupidity.
Now that she knows the truth, she should tell her parents about this idea so that she can deal with it.
Su Xian tried her best to calm down, but when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw a pot-bellied woman standing there dressed in fancy clothes.
"My sister is finally back." It's Aunt Wan.
"What's the matter?" Su Xian didn't bother to pay attention to her.
"It's nothing, just the day before yesterday, the second master said that he would reward me with three taels of blood swallows and let me come to my sister to receive it. But I couldn't go out of the child for the past two days, so I had to come and pick it up today. ”
Show off your love every sentence, and provoke Su Xian every sentence.
If it was normal, Su Xian didn't want to worry about her, but today......
Su Xian walked to the bluestone flower path, turned around, and looked Aunt Wan up and down calmly and indifferently.
Aunt Wan was furious by her, and asked with little confidence: "Sister, why does my sister look at me like this?" ”
"Dansha, as a concubine, what should I do if I don't respect my master's mother?"
Dansha immediately said: "Thirty boards of staff." ”
Su Xian nodded: "You don't need a cane board, it's thirty palms." ”
"Yes."
Aunt Wan didn't understand why Su Xian, who had always been good-tempered, suddenly became so powerful, she was scared in her heart: "What are you going to do?" What I am pregnant with in my belly is the second master's seed. ”
Dansha said: "Aunt also said, the second master's seed is in your belly, but the lady punishes the aunt's mouth, what does it matter to the child?" ”
Aunt Wan was stunned: "Aren't you afraid that if there is a mistake, the second master will ask you for the crime?" ”
Su Xian was tired of looking at it: "Just the palm of your mouth, if there is a mistake, ......"
Her eyes fell on Aunt Wan's belly, and she said lightly: "Isn't it a child?" When I go back, I will give the second master a few more concubines, and give birth to ten or eight. ”
Aunt Wan was frightened, and this time she was really scared.
Su Xian was too lazy to stay, ordered the courtyard door to close, and then went back to the house.
Outside the house, the sound of clapping lips sounded.
.
Lu Anxun was sent to the Criminal Prison Division, and things were clear, and the Lin family and the Su family were relieved.
At this moment, in the wing room in the backyard of the Criminal Prison Division, the room is full of incense.
Su Juan sat on a chair dressed as a man, with a golden and charred roast duck in front of him and a plate of pancakes.
She picked up the pancake and spread some sauce on it, then put green onions, tender greens, and two slices of roast duck to wrap it up.
"Ahh She handed it over.
Lu Anxun sat opposite, ducking with a small blade. Smell the sound and bite off the pancake in one bite.
"Is it delicious?" Su Qian asked.
Lu Anxun nodded: "The Criminal Prison Department is not a place for people to stay, and the food is not as good as the Kaifeng Mansion of others, and he is so majestic." ”
Qi Yuan doesn't pay attention to appetite, and he is busy handling cases on weekdays, so he may not be on time for three meals, let alone pay attention to eating. When the entire prison department is busy, it is not uncommon for everyone to have a steamed bun in their mouth.
Lu Anxun ate two steamed buns in a row, and he was so suspicious of the living, but fortunately, the roast duck made by Su Juan came in time.
The two of you take a bite and I take a bite, eating deliciously, and I don't notice that there is a person standing outside.
Of course, Lu Anxun didn't see it when he saw it, and continued to enjoy Su Juan's pancakes for him.
"How's Fugui?" He asked, "I've been away from home for a few days, is it still good?" ”
"Your son is good." Su Juan said: "When I went out this morning, I also gave it a plate of small dried fish. However, Fugui has become more and more squeamish recently, and the dried fish is slightly bitter and spit out by it, and this picky eater is the same as your own child. ”
The corners of Qi Yuan's mouth twitched when he heard it outside.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Lu Anxun was deliberately hanging him, he simply coughed.
Su Juan heard it, looked at it, and hurriedly retracted his neck.
Lu Anxun asked, "Did you see a ghost?" ”
Su Juan shook his head, this is comparable to a ghost.
Although I have heard of his name countless times, it is the first time I have met him up close. Just one glance, I felt chills all over my body.
Qi Yuan is cold and arrogant, as if there is nothing interesting to him in the world except for handling cases, and his clothes are either purple or black.
He was dressed in a pitch-black robe today, and he stood tall and tall in the courtyard. The eyebrows are alienated and sharp, and those brown eyes are always pressed under the thin eyelids, not like they are here to talk about things, like they are here to seek revenge.
Su Juan hurriedly packed up her things: "Lord Qi is coming to look for you, I'll go back first." This roast duck is left for you, if you want to eat anything else and send it to me, I will get it for you. ”
Lu Anxun was comfortable, and for the first time, he felt that Su Juan was gentle and virtuous.
Su Juan packed up and raised her feet to go out. When he passed by Qi Yuan's side, he was blessed.
Secrets:
This man is so cold, he looks at everyone like a prisoner, and I don't know which one will be unlucky to marry him in the future.
